In Qiao Yu’s view, Zheng Xiweng is a very capable person and knows many capable people.
So he stepped in to help borrow a supercomputer, and incidentally, everyone can demonstrate the new capabilities of Quantum Simulation Calculation to sound the alarm for the world’s Cryptocurrency Trading Market, urging them to spend money to design quantum-resistant algorithms. This should gain support, right?
After all, his reasons are aboveboard.
Since he was young, Qiao Yu understood that if you want to do sothing that satisfies your own desires and is worth debating morally and legally, you need to first dress it up in a noble guise.
Qiao Yu’s execution ability is as strong as ever.
As soon as he had the thought, he went out, hands behind his back, strolling down to the first floor, to the room where Zheng Xiweng frequently stayed.
This is what Qiao Yu likes best about Zheng Xiweng; as long as he’s not out, Uncle Zheng is definitely downstairs.
He wouldn’t disturb him, and yet he would ensure that if sothing ca up, he could appear at his side imdiately, very dedicated.
Apart from the fact that the room downstairs had a few more monitors, there was nothing to fault.
When he got to the door, before he could knock, Zheng Xiweng opened it.
"Going to Huaqing?" Zheng Xiweng was already wearing a coat, and asked a question.
"Why would I go to Huaqing? My mom is still mad at , wouldn’t it be uncomfortable to go there? I ca specifically to visit you." Qiao Yu said with an awkward smile.
"Oh? Visiting ?" Zheng Xiweng looked at Qiao Yu suspiciously. If he rembered correctly, he had left Qiao Yu’s office less than half an hour ago.
Thinking of sothing so quickly to find him, Zheng Xiweng felt there was probably no good news.
"Didn’t we finish our conversation just now?"
"I have so new ideas, so I wanted to discuss them with you. It’s a good thing, a great thing, you’ll definitely support once you hear it."
Qiao Yu said joyfully.
Zheng Xiweng looked at Qiao Yu warily.
From Qiao Yu’s tone, he could tell that if he removed the word "good," it would reveal the real intention.
Qiao Yu wanted to stir things up, and in a big way.
Sotis, human interactions can be so fascinating; once familiar, one can truly sense so premonitions from the other’s tone and micro-expressions.
And often, they’re quite accurate.
"Let’s talk inside then." With that, Zheng Xiweng let Qiao Yu into the room.
There was no other choice, no matter what Qiao Yu wanted to do, at least he had to listen.
But it didn’t matter; even if Qiao Yu wanted to stir up sothing big, it wasn’t up to him to decide.
Even if Qiao Yu wanted to pierce a hole in the sky, soone higher up would have to handle it, he was just a ssenger.
What he feared most was Qiao Yu wanting to do sothing of dium importance, and he just happened to have the authority; that’s what was most troubleso.
Asking for instructions would probably result in a scolding, with the higher-ups having ample reason, "Since you have the authority, why do you keep reporting it? What’s the use of having you then?"
Not asking for instructions, making a decision on his own and ssing up, he’d have to bear it himself, the reasoning also very sound, "Dr. Qiao made such an important decision, and you didn’t even notify the top, just made the decision yourself? What were you thinking at the ti?"
This actually has nothing to do with willingness to take responsibility; it’s purely a mindset.
Because if such problems arise in Zheng Xiweng’s team, while he will do his utmost to cover for his team mbers, when it cos to reprimanding them, it’s the sa routine.
Externally, knowing his subordinates are struggling, he must argue on their behalf, even standing up to take responsibility and solve problems, that’s one thing; but internally, giving a good scolding and handling is another.
After all these years, he’s not only gotten used to it, he’s learned. But no matter what, getting constantly lectured by the higher-ups is surely uncomfortable.
Especially in security-type work, the best work status is actually prevention rather than redy. As known to all, the more outstanding the preventive work, the easier it is to be overlooked...
Plus, since Zheng Xiweng is indeed quite excellent, he gets scolded more often than praised.
This is even when his direct superior is a professional who can recognize his value. If it were soone who didn’t understand the field, it would be even worse.
Qiao Yu also didn’t beat around the bush and laid out his thoughts as soon as he entered, which also put Zheng Xiweng completely at ease. This was nice, indeed things were beyond his authority.
"I roughly understand what you an. You want to help the Cryptocurrency Exchange realize the importance of enhancing server security in the era of Quantum Computing.
So you’re planning to borrow a large supercomputer to attack their servers? And without them inviting you to do so, am I understanding correctly?"
In the small room, Zheng Xiweng summarized Qiao Yu’s long-winded speech into two sentences.
But obviously, Qiao Yu was not satisfied with this kind of wording and imdiately retorted: "No, Uncle Zheng, although that’s indeed my intention, summarizing it like that makes it feel a bit off. It seems like I’m making trouble for no reason."
This has nothing to do with the exchanges, I’m responsible for the wallets of countless investors in cryptocurrency worldwide! They can’t have their life’s savings wiped out with the advent of the Quantum Computing era!"
Zheng Xiweng countered: "Then you should know that cryptocurrency is not legal in Huaxia, right? Huaxia has never recognized the legal status of cryptocurrency."
Qiao Yu nodded and replied, "Yes, I know. But I believe that’s not the main point. The main point is I think that the current security asures at the Cryptocurrency Exchange, especially the signing chanism and the trading chanism, are not secure in the era of quantum computing.
