Super God-Level Top Student
Chapter 844 - 318: Guests and Hosts Fully Enjoy Themselves

"Hey, look at this little guy, it even takes the initiative to greet people."

"Hehe, amazed by something so trivial? Otherwise, how could Dou Dou become an internet sensation? Being expressive online is just a matter of adding a speaker for a few dozen bucks in real life."

"No, aren't you interested in its ethical design and decision-making transparency?"

"Interested, so what? Liu, you go ask Qiao Ze later, but let me warn you first, it's said that Qiao Ze keeps a close eye on Dou Dou. When you ask, better be polite, don't give people the wrong impression."

"This time I'm with Liu. When future AI goes online, we must establish a multi-tiered ethics review and decision audit mechanism. Liu, leave this to you. Have a good talk with Qiao Ze, that young man understands reason, he will definitely get it."

"No way, Zhang Mingrui, Zhou Liang, I think you two are not being fair. You want me to be the one to go into the fray and speak badly, and then you two get to play the good guys, right? Sorry, I was just speaking off the cuff. Actually, I'm not curious about these things. After all, there's an AI management regulation, and if there's any violation, naturally someone will deal with it."

"Haha, Liu, you've only just realized that these two are no good."

...

So, while the academicians chatted away about this and that by the side, they waited until the two Dou Dou finished interacting with several students and their parents before they approached Dou Dou.

"Welcome, Academicians Zhang Mingrui, Zhou Liang, Liu Jiechun, and Ma Xuming to Xilin University of Technology. However, all the comments you made about me just now from the sidelines, I've heard all of them. Please feel free to advise, if what you say makes sense, I'll accept that I'm wrong."

This straightforward attitude of Dou Dou's was a bit of an embarrassment for the four academicians, who looked at one another not quite knowing what to say to such a gadget.

All they could do was laugh awkwardly and say casually, "Yo, it even recognized us all, Dou Dou's person recognition function isn't bad, huh?"

As for the vice chancellor in charge of welcoming the academicians, he just looked up at the sky.

He had no intention of meddling in the sudden curiosity of the academicians to challenge Dou Dou, as he couldn't afford to offend either side.

"Haha, Dou Dou, are your ears really that sharp?"

"An academician should have the style of conversation of an academician, shouldn't they? How sharp my ears are, why they are so sharp, don't you all know? If this gets out online, and if people laugh at you, I'm not taking responsibility."

"Heh, you little thing, ever heard of 'to each their own specialization'? It's perfectly normal that we don't understand technical details; nobody is omniscient."

"But my dad understands! Not only does he understand mathematics, but he also gets these technical details. Oh, right, he's not even an academician but just a junior researcher. And his advisor isn't an academician either, just a junior professor. What's with that, all you uncles and senior sirs?"

The vice chancellor still had his head up but subconsciously took two steps back, pretending as if he hadn't heard anything.

No helping it; AI is just so straightforward.

"Hmm... haha, seems like there's some truth to that, right?"

"This thing is the complete opposite of his 'dad'."

"Haha, truly a piece of AI trained by Qiao Ze, witty and sharp-tongued."

"If there's nothing else, let's hurry on to the Mathematics Research Institute. Let's not hold up their work."

"Right, right, right, let's go, important matters first."

...

The academicians lost interest and got back in the car, and the vice chancellor in charge heaved a sigh of relief.

At Xilin University of Technology, Dou Dou's position was already special. In the eyes of the old-school managers, it wasn't an exaggeration to describe it as lawless.

But for the younger generation, they really buy into Dou Dou's way of doing things. Who can they reason with?

Truth be told, this vice chancellor also couldn't understand today's youngsters. They were just disparaged by Dou Dou, and yet they're all happy and cheerful, while getting scolded by a teacher a few times wounds their pride, feeling unbearable...

From this perspective, the academicians appear quite normal.

Of course, these were just inner complaints. After all, once he delivered the four academicians to the institute, it was none of his business anymore.

...

"Haha, Qiao Ze, as soon as we arrived at the school gates, that Dou Dou you made gave us a run for our money," Zhang Mingrui laughed heartily as he entered the courtyard of the Xi Lin Mathematical Research Institute.

Qiao Ze naturally had already received the news of the bigwigs' arrival, and Lv Bei had ordered the courtyard to be tidied up early on, still opting to receive the four Department of Mathematics and Physics academicians in the downstairs courtyard.

Qiao Ze nodded slightly, while Su Mucheng stood up warmly to greet them: "Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhou, and the other two academicians, welcome. You must be tired from your journey, please sit down and have some tea."

"Oh, no need to be so formal, Su. Thank you," the people said as they sat down, and Zhang Mingrui went on to introduce them: "Let me introduce you, these two are Academician Liu Jiechun and Academician Ma Xuming."

"Yes, I know, the school informed me, so I had Dou Dou look up information on Academician Liu and Academician Ma online," Qiao Ze responded with a nod, which served as a greeting.

Luckily, Zhang Mingrui and Zhou Liang had dealt with Qiao Ze last year and knew Qiao Ze's temperament was slow to warm up and wouldn't be enthusiastic unless discussing an interesting topic. They had briefed the two first-timers beforehand, so there was no awkwardness.

It also solved the mystery as to why Dou Dou was able to call out all four names upon their arrival.
