After the Tianxing Society was put into operation and the initial fanfare had passed, the enthusiasm of the participants was also very high. As organizers, the three people from dormitory 409, Wei, Dawei and Laoguo, not only participated in the management work, but also significantly increased the number of times they went to class to punch in.
After Nie Chuan joined, the influence of Tianxing Society rose to a new level. The tasks of the team made it difficult for people without technical foundation to participate. Cheng Ran's words to Yang Xia that more girls submitted resumes were not a show-off, but it was true. A big reason might be Nie Chuan's celebrity effect in HKUST. Many girls not only wanted to be in the limelight with Nie Chuan, who won many awards and various competitions, but also wanted to further study codes, algorithms and computer science with Nie Chuan, who usually could only watch the cool and handsome boy on the podium. I am afraid they wanted to further study each other's souls and thoughts and explore the realm of life.
Without labeling, many of the girls at HKUST have been influenced by the temperament of this school. They lack the hesitant and tactful style of the liberal arts, and are more straightforward, lively and bold.
But Nie Chuan's joining made it difficult for the core 409 trio who joined first. They found that it was easy to not understand what they were discussing with the girls who came here because of his reputation. Besides, Nie Chuan could lead a team, but would the team members listen to them? In the final analysis, it was because their knowledge level was not enough. So it was easy for several people to correct their attitudes. While engaging in the club, they could not lose their basic skills. It can be said that at this time, they deeply realized the importance of knowledge in bragging.
Nie Chuan formed a team, and the team took on several outsourced projects, all of which were small components. Cheng Ran had not yet used CQ or Lianzhong. Cheng Ran estimated that a series of polishing was needed before the team could reach a usable level. At the very least, if Li Mingshi and others could come up with a task, the results would not disappoint those technical experts.
In fact, the team led by Nie Chuan is often more reliable than the team of "professor + college students". Although many university professors have a lot of titles, they are not actually at the forefront of technology. Many things are completed by the people below them. They cannot give much guidance. Only those with average ability are willing to be exploited by professors, and those with strong ability can leave on their own. Therefore, this model has been criticized by many people in the future. Therefore, the products produced by this model are generally third-rate, and experienced companies will not look for this kind of outsourcing.
On the contrary, the team led by Nie Chuan has stronger combat effectiveness, because he himself is a top student that the professor cannot recruit, and the people he recruits also have a certain foundation. With his personal supervision, the team can be cohesive and integrated.
After Nie Chuan's team conducted a series of trials, it is estimated that a group of people will have to be eliminated and rotated, and finally they will tackle the FPGA project that Li Mingshi asked someone inside Fulong for. This process is expected to take two months. If they can hand in a good answer, they will be considered to have graduated initially and established the combat effectiveness of the army.
The spearhead group of Tianxing Society, a pillar on the battlefield may be honed here.
Of course, after Cheng Ran formed the club, and the freshman and sophomore years promoted it diligently, and at the very least, Nie Chuan joined to boost its reputation, the Tianxing Club now had its own team. The club's 40-plus members, from top to bottom, were the foundation accumulated from the beginning until the popularity waned.
This is just a small ripple in a university like HKUST, and it may not seem noticeable at first glance.
Zhang Jing returned to her dormitory in a bad mood today, because of the dispute with Zheng Kang and others in the Student Union over activities. If it was a normal matter, it would be fine, she would enjoy fighting with others. However, the situation was that for some reason, the news about her family background was spread in HKUST.
She had a hunch that it was because a relative of hers who was in office had come to HKUST for research some time ago and she happened to be there, so he showed some concern for her inadvertently, which was discovered by some interested people and leaked from the management level.
This was undoubtedly the worst thing for her, because it meant that all the things she had worked so hard to get with her own ability would be said to be backed by someone else, and some of them sounded unbearable. Just like today's student union, it was originally a dispute over a small matter, but Zheng Kang was sarcastic. He didn't dare to put on airs and talk big in front of her, but a sour grape emotion and tone was inevitable. This was exactly what really triggered Zhang Jing's anger.
In the past, she was always patient and that made Zheng Kang jumpy, but now the situation was reversed. Fortunately, Zhang Jing did not express it excessively, but just fought back with a soft knife without any expression. It was not until they left the venue that she felt so frustrated that she wanted to cry.
She is much more determined than people like Zheng Kang. It is said that when Zheng Kang joined the Student Union, he was so humble that he ran around and worked for the Youth League Committee and the Student Union without any complaints. Later, he relied on his connections and his good abilities to become the vice president of the Student Union. Then he liberated himself and started to speak in official language. In fact, he had some clues when he was the minister, but that was just to show off to his subordinates in the department. He was still as enthusiastic as ever towards his superiors and peers.
After returning to the dormitory, the roommates, who usually had a harmonious relationship with me, started talking to each other.
"Zhang Jing, you have a good relationship with Cheng Ran, a freshman. You said that you have a normal relationship with him, which is clean and innocent, and is not affected by the rumors in the school. Of course we believe it. After all, who are you? You know your limits. But as a friend, we still need to advise you not to be deceived." The speaker was a girl named Hao Qian.
"Um... what's the matter?" Zhang Jing frowned.
"We saw you and Cheng Ran eating alone in the cafeteria several times before, and you always took the initiative to pay the bill. Last week, we organized a social activity in the cinema to watch "Brave Heart", and you also took the initiative to help him pay for it..."
Zhang Jing was a little confused, "It's not all my treat, he also pays." Most of the time, because of Cheng Ran's situation, Zhang Jing took the initiative to pay when she and Cheng Ran ate together. This was like giving Cheng Ran an extra meal of braised pork. Of course, given her enthusiasm and Cheng Ran's lazy personality, he rarely had the chance to resist...
She didn't eat much each time, but she would order more dishes, all for Cheng Ran. At the same time, Cheng Ran's dormitory was also invited to the last student union movie party, but Zhang Jing charged Cheng Ran's expenses in advance.
Zhang Jing didn't care too much about this kind of thing and didn't understand why her roommate suddenly brought it up.
As a roommate, she has always been very close to Zhang Jing, and at the same time, she has a possessive desire. She can't bear to see a flower being picked by those unreliable boys. Liu Wenyi, who is standing next to her with a protective desire, said, "Cheng Ran has already formed an association in his freshman year, and it is said that he has also tricked a very famous senior in their college into joining him to help him. Is this kind of person a simple freshman? He is very likely not as the rumors say, that he is from a poor family and got in for a scholarship of 100,000 yuan. It is said that the computer he uses is only 20,000 yuan! And judging from the way he usually dresses, he doesn't look like a poor student!"
Zhang Jing hesitated for a moment, "It's impossible to tell the situation of others. You also said that he has a scholarship of 100,000 yuan."
"Sister, if you were a poor student and had 100,000 yuan, would you squander it like this? It's not like there aren't cheap computers out there... Did he tell you that the computer he used was so expensive?"
"That's not the case..." Zhang Jing murmured.
"So you can imagine... when you were thinking about him in various ways, he wasn't thinking so simply. Sister, yes, there were inevitably some gossipers who spread rumors about you two. Who are you, Zhang Jing? You are a heroine, so of course you are not afraid of those disgusting rumors. You have personality. The more others say about your seniors and juniors, the more you interact with freshmen normally to dispel the rumors. But he may not think so. From the way he deceived this freshman, you can tell that he is not an easy person to deal with. Maybe he is trying to win sympathy in this way to win you over!"
"No way..." Zhang Jing frowned, "He has a girlfriend..."
"Oh my god, you really believe it..." Hao Qian put one hand on her face, which was a little too thin, and sighed helplessly, "How naive!" "Everyone knows that you, Zhang Jing, are a golden flower in the mathematics department. Do you agree if I tell you directly? The chances are slim, but on the one hand, I pretend to be a poor student, and on the other hand, I say I have a girlfriend... What would you do?"
Liu Wenyi on the left took over the conversation. She didn't hate Cheng Ran, but not everyone would be infatuated with a good-looking guy. At the same time, as Zhang Jing's roommate and knowing Zhang Jing's background, it was natural for her to think that Cheng Ran was not worthy of the golden flower of her dormitory. Coupled with the information she had obtained, it was natural for her to step on him.
"It's to make you lower your guard, sister. It's just like some men nowadays who want to get close to women by saying they are gay, but in the end they are tricked into having sex, and the women are still proud of their charm."
Zhang Jing was stunned.
