So, after Su Mucheng spoke highly of him, and Lv Bei gave a response that satisfied him, Qiao Ze gave the security captain a chance.
As for Chen going to the Capital to argue, Qiao Ze didn't plan to interfere.
Actually, he also felt that letting Dou Dou take on the recruitment work was indeed a bit dishonorable.
Targeting a specific group of teenagers, who are at an age when their curiosity about the world is at its peak, Dou Dou's emergence as a novel species undoubtedly resonated more with the inner world of young people compared to traditional recruitment officers.
Especially after being tinted by the internet, Dou Dou often displays an unrestrained and brash nature in public, which aligns with the mindset of adolescents. This is inevitable; those who are willing to express opinions online are predominantly young people aged between eighteen to forty.
Under eighteen, due to age restrictions, it's hard for them to voice their opinions at large, and people over forty, though they spend as much time online as the younger ones, generally don't like to post their opinions.
Let alone asking them to express themselves, they even find it tiresome to simply 'like' something, and if they do, it's usually by accident.
Unless the content truly touches their hearts, don't expect these people to leave any trace after seeing it.
They mainly take a 'just looking, not getting involved' attitude.
The main reason is that after forty, they no longer have many illusions about the world. What they can know, they already pretty much understand; what they don't yet know, they accept that they're unlikely to learn in this lifetime.
As for voicing opinions, pointless ones aren't worth expressing.
Which means Dou Dou's thought pattern is deeply influenced by these young Huaxia people. Millions or even billions of voices flooding into the database make it easy for it to become the mouthpiece for these kids, a pure example of punching below one's weight.
And delaying for a while is good too.
It will take a few more days for Yuesheng Group to deliver the rest of the body.
If Chen Yuanzhi wins the argument in the Capital, letting Dou Dou go on a nationwide lecture tour wouldn't be bad either, perfectly filling this gap.
After all, the first thing Lu Xiuxiu does when she gets home every day now is to check if Dou Dou is there.
After having the breakfast delivered specifically from the cafeteria at home, Dou Dou automatically opened the bedroom door.
When Qiao Ze and Su Mucheng were changing shoes, Dou Dou didn't forget to greet Lu Xiuxiu, "Grandma, I'm going to work with Dad and Mom! Don't worry, I'll try my best to protect Dad and Mom."
"Little thing, first learn to protect yourself."
"Don't worry, Grandma! Brave Dou Dou is not afraid of difficulties! No matter where I am, I'm always the best!"
Once outside, both Qiao Ze and Su Mucheng underestimated Dou Dou's influence. As soon as they entered the school, they ran into fans of Dou Dou.
"Oh my god, look, it's Dou Dou in the flesh!"
"It really is! And there's Professor Qiao and little Sister Su too."
"No way, you're in your third year, and you still call her Sister Su?"
"Ah... what should I say then? Hurry, let's go get a photo or we'll miss our chance..."
Truly, on any other day, even if Qiao Ze and Su Mucheng were recognized while walking around the campus, Qiao Ze's 'keep away' expression would automatically deter these enthusiastic students. After all, his research is far too removed from what the average student can relate to.
But it's different with Dou Dou there.
Even if Qiao Ze still has a 'keep away' demeanor, just to get a photo with Dou Dou, and to talk to him in person, it wouldn't matter if there was just Qiao Ze, or even Qiao Ze plus the President; nothing could dampen these young people's enthusiasm.
So soon after appearing on campus, Dou Dou was stopped in his tracks.
"Professor Qiao, Sister Su, can we greet Dou Dou and get a photo?"
Su Mucheng warmly responded, "Of course you can, Professor Qiao doesn't care about these things, right, Brother Qiao?"
"Hmm." Qiao Ze nodded.
"Yes, yes, Dad always says I should talk more with handsome and beautiful brothers and sisters to grow stronger inside."
"Wow, Dou Dou really knows how to speak! Whoever says online that Dou Dou is a sharp-tongued, I'm the first to disagree."
"Ah, there's no helping it. If I spoke the whole truth in real life, I'd likely get beaten up for real."
"Pfft... Ha ha, the familiar Dou Dou is back! Dou Dou, I'm telling you, I'm one of your long-time fans."
"Dare you tell me your username? I'll check if you're really a long-time fan! Hmph, I even know when you started following me. Let me tell you, no one can pretend to be a long-time fan of Dou Dou!"
"Pfft... Dou Dou, you're amazing, here, look at my Weibo..."
In less than a minute, several students were already chatting enthusiastically with Dou Dou, and more importantly, Dou Dou's presence was attracting even more attention—clearly, other early-rising students were being drawn over as well.
Some had already excitedly taken out their phones to start recording videos.
This wasn't just about getting a photo; it was outright star-chasing!
Realizing that the situation was off, Su Mucheng tugged at Qiao Ze's sleeve and said, "Why don't you go on to the institute? I'll stay here with Dou Dou, so it won't delay your work."
Qiao Ze nodded, then skirted around the crowd to leave.
He really wasn't too patient with these trivial matters. However, it was probably unavoidable for a while, until the students at Xilin University of Technology got used to Dou Dou's presence, so things would no longer be this novel.
As he left, he could still hear the burst of laughter erupting from the crowd behind him.
