Chapter 967 - 368 The First Director Can Only Be You_3

It's just about taking on some responsibility, that's all.

However, Qiao Ze felt that he and Dou Dou shared a relationship where their fortunes were intertwined—either they both prospered or both suffered losses—so it didn't really matter to him.

The most important thing was that Qiao Ze still had confidence in Dou Dou.

After all, the underlying logic was written by him...

Even if something seriously went wrong, it wouldn't be a big deal; at most, he would just format Dou Dou's underlying program as a sacrifice, then rewrite a more reliable version. As long as the database remained universal, any issue could be handled without much trouble.

"Haha, great, then the food should almost be ready. Today, I'm treating you to a meal. By the way, your deputy from the Charter Bureau and some expert professors will also be joining us for dinner. Afterward, you can exchange thoughts on work-related matters. The specific personnel appointments will be publicly announced after the award ceremony."

"Oh."

...

Actually, Qiao Ze felt there wasn't much to discuss. It was simply familiarizing himself with his future team. Besides, during the meal, he maintained his habit of staying silent while eating, which slightly dampened the mood.

However, everyone at the dinner table was well-acquainted with Qiao Ze, so no one said much. After the meal, some elders left early due to other commitments, while Yang Shoucheng, the interim director of the Intelligent Charter Bureau, and Luo Zhengjie, the agency's chief scientific advisor, accompanied Qiao Ze back to the hotel in his car to briefly discuss upcoming work.

Mostly, the two gave reports, while Qiao Ze listened.

At this point, he didn't have any substantial suggestions to offer.

Formulating rules isn't something that can be perfected by a snap decision. Qiao Ze believed the process should wait until Xilin's wisdom-driven infrastructure was completed and Dou Dou's Wisdom Platform officially launched. Only through operational experience could issues be discovered and corresponding policies developed.

Since implementation hadn't officially begun, the Charter Bureau only needed to fully participate in and oversee the progress of various projects. The workload wasn't overly demanding, and there wasn't much he needed to handle.

Additionally, Xilin's wisdom-driven construction this time presented the perfect opportunity to utilize new building materials for the renovation of key urban projects. Naturally, the construction timeline would be extended, so Qiao Ze had ample time to adapt to his new position.

After dropping Qiao Ze off at the hotel and chatting for another half hour, Yang Shoucheng and Luo Zhengjie bid their farewells and left.

The night passed uneventfully.

The originally planned arrangements for the following day had already been completed the previous evening, so today's schedule was supposed to be free. But it was clear that with Qiao Ze rarely visiting the Capital, no one would let him 'off the hook' so easily.

Thus, the stream of visitors on the second day could only be described as incessant, and every guest was an esteemed figure.

Academicians from the Department of Mathematics and Physics were, of course, present. Research on Qiao's Algebraic Geometry wasn't confined solely to the Xilin Mathematics Research Institute; several academicians at the Department also had students pursuing studies in this field. It was only natural for these mentors to appear with their protégés, exchange academic ideas, and establish connections.

Yanbei University, as Xilin University of Technology's partner institution, naturally had a valid reason to foster camaraderie as well. As for Huaqing University, the other prestigious institution, although it didn't have direct ties to Xilin University of Technology, one of its professors from the Physics College had recently won a Nobel Prize, a distinction undeniably linked to Qiao Ze.

From any perspective, meeting him was imperative. Regardless of Qiao Ze's personality, interacting more was always the right move.

Additionally, there were two biological research institutes from the Capital...

In summary, on the second day, Qiao Ze was so busy that even when Tan Jingrong arrived in the Capital, Qiao Ze had no time to meet him. He could only lament not having brought a physical body for Dou Dou to help him entertain guests.
