Chapter 50: Was that why she was fawning over him? (3)

“What is future technology?” asked Lin Xi.

The term was so broad that Lin Xi wasn’t able to find a good definition online.

Hearing Lin Xi’s question, Gu Shao paused and answered her with a question, “What do you think future technology represents?”

“Em… technologies that are not available currently but will appear in the future?” asked Lin Xi uncertainly. She understood the literal meaning of the words but she didn’t have a good grasp of the concept.

“Not exactly,” said Gu Shao. He then added, “Future technology represents a type of technology, but it is not limited to a specific area of science and technology. Simply put, any current technology that could affect the future development direction can be considered as future technology. Future technology can also include technologies that will arise in the future basing on current speculations or planning…”

Gu Shao’s explanation was very concise and he provided Lin Xi with some specific examples.

Lin Xi listened to him attentively and nodded from time to time.

When he was done talking, Gu Shao looked at the girl with her widened eyes, raised his brows, and asked, “You get it now?”

“Mmhmm. Mmhmm.” Lin Xi nodded. There was undisguised respect in her eyes.

Gu Shao found that somewhat humorous.

“Why did you ask about this all of a sudden?” asked Gu Shao.

“Oh, I came across it online and was curious what it meant,” explained Lin Xi.

– She was certainly studious.

That was what Gu Shao thought.

Recalling Lin Xi’s scores during her entrance examinations to HSAU, a shred of pride arose in Gu Shao that even he had failed to notice.

***

Gu Shao left to head over to NTN Technology Center after breakfast.

Over on this side, Lin Xi suddenly received text messages from [AAA] not long after Gu Shao had left.

Specifically, he had already sent over more than 10 messages.

Yesterday, before she logged off, she had approved his friend’s request.

[AAA]: Bro X, about the ideas that you have shared yesterday. I thought them through last night and there are totally doable.

[AAA]: I worked on some initial designs basing on what you have said. Take a look and tell me if that’s inline with your thoughts.

[AAA] sent over three pictures after this message. Two of them were based on Lin Xi’s two ideas from the day before and the final one was his edited design on the smart medical system with Lin Xi’s suggestions integrated.

[AAA]: So? What do you think? Is it like that?

[AAA]: Let me tell you. Your ideas are awesome.

[AAA]: We are only at the initial design phase. We can talk over them before we make modifications.

***

Lin Xi had barely finish reading the 10 plus messages when [AAA]: sent over another one: Bro X? Bruh? Darling? Precious? Did you see the messages that I have sent you?

[AAA]: Bro, can you please respond back to me if you have seen them?

[AAA]: Don’t tell me you are still in bed.

Looking at the bombardment of texts, the corners of Lin Xi’s lips twitched. She somewhat regretted approving his friend’s request yesterday. How could she rectify that?

Lin Xi responded with. [I’m here.]

[AAA]: Hahaha, you are finally getting back to me.

[AAA]: I thought you are about to give up on this teammate of yours.

Having said that, he even added a “WHEW” emoji.

[AAA]: Have you had a chance to look at my designs? If you have, let’s talk about them.

Even though he had been up all night long, Big Brother A was still high like he was on drugs.

[X]: Yes, I’ve looked at them.

Lin Xi wondered how she could remind him that they were not teammates.

[X]: Chat Owner, I did not plan on joining the competition. What I said last night were just my very initial ideas. You are welcome to adopt them if you feel that they will work for you.

Her mind was clear and her wordings subtle.

That should work, right?

Thought Lin Xi to herself.

On the other hand, [AAA] was stunned when he saw the msg from Lin Xi.

[AAA]: ! ! !

[AAA]: Whatever happened to our agreement to battle at the summit of Tianchuang? It’s only been one night and you are just going to pull your pants up and pretended that nothing had happened?

Lin Xi, “… …”

When did we have this agreement? And, whatever did it mean by pulled up my pants and pretended that nothing had happened?

Before Lin Xi could respond, he sent over more messages:

[Please don’t abandon me. We can’t do it without you.]

[Trust me on this. We don’t have a large team but we are all elites. I’m am sure we will win a prize.]

[I’ll even let you be the team captain, alright?]

– – She didn’t want to be the team captain.

Thought Lin Xi.

She had thought the team leader was like chatty person but turned out he was also one who was persistent.

Lin Xi wasn’t quite sure how to handle [AAA] who was completely out of character after just one night.

While Lin Xi was debating whether to block him in a friendly manner, [AAA] sent over another text: 1 million yuan! You can have the entire 1 million yuan after we get the prize money!

He only joined the competition for the development or referral rights. That way he could kickstart his own workshop. The money was secondary.

Lin Xi’s finger stopped 2 mm above “block”. What should I do? I am very tempted.

[X]: Let me think about it.

Perhaps she could join as a backup team member and not take up an actual spot?

She didn’t need all 1 million yuan either. 100,000 yuan would be good enough.

The thought of coming into wealth made Lin Xi a very happy girl.
