Chapter 1154 Did Not Care About Fame
Liu Qian instantly stopped smiling, so Huo Yao smiled and said, "What"s the good news? I can"t wait to hear it."
Liu Qian"s lips twitched. Dai Jie, w.a.n.g Jing, and the others nearly burst out laughing when they caught the 180 degree change in Huo Yao"s att.i.tude.
"I showed the preliminary results of our AL system to someone from the National Research Inst.i.tute of Science and Technology. The inst.i.tute is very interested in our research project. They want us to submit an even more detailed experiment plan." Liu Qian suppressed his excitement and explained the matter to her.
The National Research Inst.i.tute of Science and Technology was already researching AL. It was a key branch of study no less. Moreover, several other research groups were also researching it.
Zhao Lian had told Liu Qian about the research project when the National Research Inst.i.tute of Science and Technology released it. He had originally just wanted Liu Qian to give it a shot. Even Liu Qian himself bore little hope of surpa.s.sing all the other research teams in the country and getting selected.
After all, the research project was done by students. How could they compare to all the seasoned researchers out there?
Hence, Liu Qin was stunned when the National Research Inst.i.tute of Science and Technology called him in the afternoon. After some time, he finally managed to absorb the facts.
He could not wait to share the good news with his students.
"Uh huh," acknowledged Huo Yao upon hearing the good news. In comparison to the joy on everyone else"s faces, she was particularly calm. "I am glad that they have the foresight to pick us."
If their research project did not get selected, it meant that the National Research Inst.i.tute of Science and Technology was simply getting complacent and was oblivious to the future direction of the industry.
Liu Qian"s lips twitched. He was puzzled how someone could be as confident as her. Judging from her tone of voice, it sounded as though it was only natural that their research project had made it to the selection.
Even though Liu Qian had started out thrilled, the sight of Huo Yao"s lack of enthusiasm promptly whittled down his excitement. Liu Qian cleared his throat and said, "Since you did most of the calculations, I think it is best if you wrote the experiment plan."
Huo Yao had just sat down in front of the computer when she heard what the teacher said. She paused before raising her head and looking at them. "I am not good enough. I am only good at using the computer. Since this position requires a lot of experience and a keen eye, I think it is better for my seniors to handle it."
The moment Huo Yao finished her sentence, everyone was dumbstruck.
It was a life-changing opportunity to take charge of research projects. A lot of people got into fights about whom to give the charge of the research projects. Sometimes, team members fought so badly that the entire research project ended up canceled.
Before Huo Yao came to the laboratory, Liu Qian had asked Dai Jie and the others about it. Everyone suggested for Huo Yao to do the experiment plan almost without hesitation. Since Huo Yao had done the core calculations in the project, she was the best person to do it.
No one expected Huo Yao to turn down the offer.
"I think you don"t get it. If you take charge of the research project, it will look very good on your resume in the future." Dai Jie looked at Huo Yao and told her what it meant for her career.
Huo Yao sighed. She promptly interrupted without waiting for Dai Jie to answer. "I do not care about fame and would really prefer keeping a low profile!"
Dai Jie went speechless.
For a moment, he really did not know what to say.
"I am so impressed." Liu Qian chuckled before he spoke. He knew all too well that Huo Yao only cared about money.
Huo Yao cleared her throat and veered her eyes mildly before turning on the computer program.
Liu Qian shook his head. After discussing the matter with Dai Jie and the others, they decided to make Dai Jie the team lead and handle the experiment plan.
