Super God-Level Top Student

Xilin falls within the warm temperate semi-humid continental monsoon climate, distinguished by cold, warmth, dryness, and moisture across four distinct seasons.

As time stepped into November, temperatures began to drop noticeably. After three continuous days of drizzling autumn rain, the entire campus finally abandoned the random clothing choices, and everyone donned their jackets in unison.

For Qiao Ze, this period was very tranquil.

His paper published in "Mathematics Annual" was being interpreted by the mathematical community during this time.

The turmoil caused by Dou Dou was handed over to Su Lixing to deal with.

For this reason, Su Mucheng even changed her phone number because the previous one was no longer usable; blocking numbers was futile since the internet moguls, like sharks that had smelled blood, came searching for her. And it seemed like these people had an endless supply of numbers—block one, and another would appear.

It was ridiculously outrageous; some even wanted to negotiate with her about having Dou Dou venture into live-streaming sales...

Really, when she heard this idea, Su Mucheng finally understood what it means that the pinnacle for top influencers is to sell products.

She truly couldn't imagine what it would look like for Dou Dou to sell products.

So, decisively, Su Mucheng handed over her phone number to Su Lixing, letting her dear dad deal with all the messy situations.

She and Qiao Ze would just reap the benefits.

The hefty trust was dumped onto the shoulders of the ambitionless Su Lixing; no one knew what the middle-aged man actually felt, and probably no one cared.

Su Mucheng mentioned that lately, Old Su often had to travel for business, shuttling between the Capital, Linhai, and Shen Zhou with his secretary.

Qiao Ze had occasionally overheard Su Mucheng's phone conversations with Su Lixing; in the words of Old Su, he had been a successful businessperson. But he hadn't flown as much in his entire entrepreneurial career as he had this year.

There were even times when he had to fly to Shen Zhou the same evening after only spending an afternoon in the Capital to discuss some matters and have a meal.

In the words of Su Mucheng, the title "President Su" had finally become a true reflection of reality, and the powerful President Su must be enjoying himself in it.

Of course, whether he was truly enjoying himself was something only Su Lixing knew.

What could be confirmed was that he no longer had any time for his models. But the renown of Xilin Licheng in the business circle was growing louder day by day. It had reached the extent where no one in the tech circle was unaware of it.

Dou Dou's popularity on Weibo hadn't subsided much for the time being.

However, after everyone calmed down, heated debates about artificial intelligence destroying the world began to arise, and this time with significant momentum. Many public intellectuals started promoting the harmfulness of artificial intelligence in their respective fields.

Even many media outlets' new platforms were involved.

Especially the numerous media from the south.

Outlets such as "New East Newspaper" and "Pengpai News" joined in.

Even the argument "Those not of our kind surely have a different heart" was brought forth.

Unlike previous concerns, this time the discussion was all-encompassing.

The sci-fi stories of artificial intelligence controlling Skynet and robots destroying Earth were rarely mentioned.

These people began to analyze the pros and cons of artificial intelligence from the perspectives of productive forces and production relations.

In recent years, the world has been far from tranquil; the global economy gives a vague impression like looking at flowers through the fog. To ordinary people, it probably feels like it's getting harder and harder to make money.

At this juncture, the emergence of artificial intelligence could potentially take away countless jobs that should belong to ordinary people.

The discussions were convincing, so this analysis had a market; it repeatedly topped various trending charts, sparking a nationwide debate on whether to continue research on artificial intelligence.

The only puzzling thing was that when ChatGPT 4.0 took off, although similar discussions existed, it had never triggered such a vigorous response in Huaxia. But now Dou Dou was being questioned.

Another hot topic was about Apple's change of leadership.

According to foreign media, the Apple board had become dissatisfied with Tim Cook's performance at Apple and had reached a consensus in the latest round of board meetings to start looking globally for Apple's next CEO and discussing who might be the next helmsman of Apple.

This wasn't surprising, as Wall Street had been criticizing Apple for lacking an innovative spirit under Tim Cook's leadership for many years. The only reason Tim Cook continued to enjoy the board's trust was his strong profitability.

When Tim Cook took over Apple, the company was valued at only $350 billion.

In the ten years of his tenure, Apple's market value surpassed two trillion.

He also built up a very strong cash reserve, making the shareholders extremely wealthy.

After all, Tim Cook's ten-year contract had actually expired the year before last, but he remained in office simply because there was no suitable successor.

But now, Apple's financial reports had begun to show a downturn, and it seemed to lack new solutions against its aggressive main competitors.

And by this year, he had become the longest-serving CEO among global technology companies. Not to mention, he was born in November 1960 and was already 63 years old, indeed no longer quite suited for the highly demanding job of a high-tech company's CEO.

Of course, these various issues did not affect the life in the laboratories at Xilin University of Technology.

Everyone was still doing what they were supposed to do.

But someone in the Capital was very anxious.

He Danchang could no longer restrain himself and had called the mathematical giant at Yanbei University for the third time.

As for the exclusive interview with Qiao Ze, it had been postponed time and again.
