If it were in the past, when the three of them were at odds, they would visit the hospital in two separate batches.
Even though Qiao Ze hadn’t visited the School of Mathematics in a long ti, he was still well aware of the current state of the three. After all, with Dou Dou being a little information-gathering expert, anything Qiao Ze showed a little interest in, he’d surely learn about it—without any interference, of course.
However, Chen Yiwen’s choice to study philosophy truly surprised him; he really didn’t see this guy being interested in such a highbrow subject.
...
"Qiao, this ti you’re really becoming a dad! Speaking of efficiency, no one can beat you. I rember the first ti you joined us in Room 402, you started critiquing professor’s papers—I thought you were quick to adapt to the environnt. Now it seems I underestimated you, you’re fast at everything you do!"
Seizing the opportunity, Chen Yiwen sidled up to Qiao Ze, wagging his eyebrows and making a playful remark.
Qiao Ze smiled and said nothing. The arrival of the three did indeed bring back so fond mories.
For instance, based on past events, the three in front of him could call the two babies peacefully lying in the incubator their brothers.
"Chen Yiwen, enough! Calling our Qiao a quick shot–you must be getting overconfident. Don’t think just because you’ll be going to Yanbei University that our Qiao can’t handle you. Do your research—any university in Huaxia wouldn’t dare disrespect our Qiao."
Seeing Chen Yiwen by Qiao Ze, Zhang Zhou squeezed over and shalessly chid in.
Actually, if you think about it, the four young n in the room were all a year older than Qiao Ze. But having gotten used to calling Su Mucheng’s Qiao ’brother,’ they no longer minded these details.
"That’s right, not just dostically but even internationally, they have to respect our Qiao. Didn’t Dou Dou say? These days, bigwigs from major foreign tech companies have to pay their respects to Qiao when they visit Huaxia, or they won’t get any business done."
This ti, Qiao Ze couldn’t stay silent.
Following the wild boasts by brothers, now there were artificial intelligence-driven boasts...
Honestly, Qiao Ze himself didn’t know about these things.
He spent most of his ti at the Mathematical Research Institute, and until now, he really didn’t know of any foreign tech mogul who ca to visit him specifically at the Xilin Mathematics Research Institute building. Nor did any of their businesses fail because they didn’t co looking for him.
But Qiao Ze was clearly not as quick as Su Mucheng, because as soon as Gu Zhengliang said this, Su Mucheng, lying on the bed, quickly added: "Oh my gosh, I didn’t even know that. Qiao, have so many things happened while I wasn’t with you at the research institute for the past few months? Dou Dou didn’t even tell !"
"I didn’t know either, Dou Dou didn’t tell ," Qiao Ze gently looked at Su Mucheng on the hospital bed, shook his head, and replied.
"No way, Qiao, surely you’re just being humble. After all, Dou wouldn’t lie, or maybe you just didn’t think it mattered," Zhang Zhou chid in boisterously.
At this mont, the generations started to blur a bit, but it did show Dou Dou had indeed ntioned these things to the two of them.
Otherwise, why would these two guys maintain such a united front? For a mont, Qiao Ze really began to wonder if he had missed a visit from a certain bigwig, or perhaps when the bigwig ca, they were directly turned away by Lv Bei or Li Chengze.
But it couldn’t be that businesses failed without seeing him.
Otherwise, his guilt would be enormous; he wasn’t so business tycoon.
Most importantly, theoretically, Dou Dou indeed wouldn’t lie because it would serve no purpose for artificial intelligence. Exaggeration as a behavior pattern is mainly used by humans to boost vanity. Obviously, Dou Dou doesn’t need these frivolous emotions.
So, Qiao Ze asked: "What exactly did Dou Dou say?"
"It said that not long ago, the president of Microsoft was practically begging us to cooperate, and even after signing the contract, he was afraid you’d back out, so he specially wanted to et with you, Qiao! That’s so big talk!" Zhang Zhou imdiately replied.
"Oh?" Qiao Ze nodded, roughly understanding, and didn’t doubt the truth of the matter.
Even though there hadn’t been any news yet, since Dou Dou said so, it was likely Satya Nadella had indeed visited Huaxia and had a planned visit to Xilin.
As for how Dou Dou got this ssy information, Qiao Ze didn’t plan to investigate.
Artificial intelligence has varied information sources, plus Dou Dou inherently has causality as its core thinking frawork, making its analytical abilities very strong, so learning so information isn’t surprising. The only surprising thing is that Dou Dou hadn’t ntioned this to him before bragging to outsiders.
"Could it be? Qiao, you really didn’t know about this?" Chen Yiwen said in surprise.
Judging from Qiao Ze’s reaction, a few of them were a bit bewildered.
"Hmm..." Qiao Ze nodded and said, "But don’t spread rumors. Ever since Dou Dou integrated emotional elents, sotis bugs happen, like daily communications are a bit exaggerated."
"Qiao, I think you’re obviously being too humble!"
...
After chatting about all sorts of bizarre things, and gathered around to critique the two newborn babies in the incubator—each vying to be their godfather—they finally left reluctantly when nurses ca to take the babies for a bath and vaccinations.
Of course, godfathers couldn’t be randomly chosen. Not only would Qiao Ze not agree, but Su Mucheng wouldn’t allow it either.
The good news was that Su, being young, had the advantage, plus with special care throughout the pregnancy from both moms, and doctors’ guidance and full checkups, her recovery was impressive. By the afternoon, she could already get out of bed and move around slowly.
According to the doctor, with Su Mucheng’s recovery state, she could be discharged directly after one more day of observation.
Of course, the most important thing was that the two newborns were also very healthy. Probably thanks to good genes, they didn’t face common newborn issues like jaundice. But just to be safe, one day’s observation in the hospital was still necessary.
Moreover, staying for one more day ant they could do the hearing screening for the two babies the next day.
Anyway, they got through this tough stage.
Now, Su Mucheng just needed to recuperate well, and life would return to normal.
Qiao Ze originally planned to stay at the hospital with Su Mucheng, but Ms. Su and Lu Xiuxiu shooed him ho.
Primarily because they found him clumsy, struggling even with a diaper change, at night he wasn’t able to take care of the big one or the little ones properly.
Even Su Lixing, who aid to beco a life ntor to the little ones, was told to go ho by the two moms because his skills had beco rusty compared to the hospital’s arranged nurse, despite his previous experience changing Su Mucheng’s diapers.
Anyway, there wasn’t enough space for so many people in the hospital despite all the special privileges, like a suite room. And having a male nurse staying there too, it really wasn’t suitable for two n to stay.
However, it wasn’t a bad thing for the two n to be together. They began discussing on the way ho about letting Dou Dou take over company affairs, and reached an agreent: Su Lixing would stay on at the company for another three years, during which ti major decisions would gradually be handed over to Dou Dou.
If all went well, when the kids turned three, he’d retire directly.
The three-year plan mainly ca from the fact that the kids were too small to need his ntorship yet.
Both believed that education should start at least at the age of three.
After all, Qiao Ze barely rembered anything before kindergarten, leading the two to conclude the earliest human brains retrieve mories is around starting kindergarten at three.
Previously, Su Lixing had planned similarly. Whether hiring an outside professional manager or cultivating one within the company, he’d need to oversee for two to three years until he felt confident to relinquish power.
But handing it over to Dou Dou wouldn’t require such elaborate arrangents. Su Lixing wasn’t really worried about whether Dou Dou could manage the CEO role, mainly fearing it might be too aggressive—with no regard for anyone’s face...
Waiting for two years to see how things develop before making a decision seed reasonable.
One can’t bla Su Lixing for thinking too much; a successful businessman must have a sense of crisis, as stories of boom and bust occur repeatedly in business.
As the two quieted down in the car, Li Chengze suddenly ntioned: "Professor Qiao, Microsoft’s President Mr. Nadella is formally requesting a eting with you through official channels; when do you think would be a suitable ti?"
