I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father Chapter 15

Chapter 15 – Boss Gu? Gu Shao? (2)

Upon hearing that, the receptionist's eyes flickered a little and there was surprise in her look.

Lin Xi went on to say, “I came all the way from Zhang Village just to thank him in person.”

As she spoke, she pulled out her report card from this month's monthly examinations and showed it to the receptionist.

The report card was very crumbled up and making Lin Xi looked as pitiful as it was.

Lin Xi didn't make it that way on purpose. Her report card was inside her pocket when she jumped into the artificial lake to help Lin Anxin out. This was how it ended after it had gotten wet.

The school's name was not listed on the report card. Just its emblem on the upper right-hand corner. Luckily, given her age, the little big sister receptionist would not have paid too much attention to any middle or grade schools and did not recognize the emblem of a noble school.

The receptionist looked at the report card – her #1 rank stood out quite a bit as was the individual grades for each subject.

“So, you wanted to show your report card to Boss Gu, is that it?” asked the receptionist.

Lin Xi nodded.

Lin Xi was dirty and her hair was messy right now. She looked a lot like a student living in poverty.

Looking again at the pitiful Lin Xi, her look was very sincere. The little big sister receptionist was a little moved.

— She didn't know for a fact whether Boss Gu had sponsored students in poverty before but Lin Xi definitely did not look like she was lying and what she had said was also quite convincing.

She was a very nice and grateful girl!

That was the receptionist opinion on her and she was touched by Lin Xi's acts.

“Okay. Take a seat right here and I'll schedule a time for you,” said the receptionist as she smiled at Lin Xi in a friendly manner. This was a much different smile than her professional one from a while ago.

The receptionist placed a call to the CEO's office and briefly explained the situation, along with some personal comments.

The respond came back quickly.

The receptionist brought Lin Xi through the security check point and walked into the elevator lobby. “Okay. I've made you an appointment. Go up from here. The elevator will take you directly to 27th floor. Then someone else will meet you there.”

“Thank you, big sister.” Lin Xi gave the receptionist a sincere and grateful smile.

Hearing the “big sister” from Lin Xi made the receptionist very happy. She was only 26 years old and kids nowadays had already started referring to her as “aunty”! How awful was that!

Watching Lin Xi walked inside of the elevator, the receptionist contemplated notifying reporters. This was, after all, a touching moments and words of it should get out there.

27thfloor. Gu Shao was still in a meeting and Lin Xi was taken to a small conference room by the worker who met up with her.

Lin Xi waited quietly in the conference room.

Gu Shao's assistant Xu Fei walked inside and gave Lin Xi a curious look.

“So you are the student in po.. er, that Boss Gu had sponsored?” asked Xu Fie as he purposefully avoided the word “poverty”.

Lin Xi grunted vaguely instead of replying to his question directly. Not really…

Looking at the young girl who was sitting there with her back straight, Xu Fei felt incredulous. He had not expected that his boss, who seemed to be a cold-blooded person normally, had sponsored some student in poverty.

Seeming to have noticed Lin Xi's nervousness and tension, Xu Fie cleared his throat and asked, “Would you like some water?”

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

“Yes,” said Lin Xi. Followed by, “Thank you.”

Xu Fie had someone brought over a glass of water. Lin Xi took it with both hands and took a few sips from it.

The awkwardness returned to the conference room again.

Lin Xi was dazed while looking at a certain spot in the conference room.

Xu Fei looked over at where Lin Xi was looking at. It was a design schematic of a T-NM chip.

Xu Fei raised his brows and, for the sake of making conversation, asked casually, “Do you know what this is?”

He only said it casually and hadn't really expected Lin Xi to know that.

Lin Xi nodded seriously.

“This is the design schematic of the T-NM chip, am I right?”

“You know that?” Xu Fei was very surprised that Lin Xi was able to name it. There was no caption on the display at all.

Lin Xi carried on and said, “I do. Through the 'n+2' high speed NS piece circular double guiding system, the speed of the T-type chip had been increased by 60 folds.

“In addition,” Lin Xi paused for a little and carried on, “The size of the T-NM chip had also shrank significantly from the 0.8 to 1.2 cm2 of a regular T-type chip to as small as 0.05 cm2 of a T-NM chip.”

Lin Xi's eyes were beaming when she talked.

— She was correct on all the details.

Xu Fei's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

“How did you know all these?” asked Xu Fei. Not even a college student in this specific major might know the details of these cutting-edge technology.

“I've read about it in the past,” said Lin Xi. “It was published in last June's digital journal Electronic Technology.”

Xu Fei, “!” A valedictorian would always be a valedictorian.

Xu Fei, “Aye, what grade are you in?”

Lin Xi, “I'm a sophomore in junior high school.”

Xu Fei, “……” And where was he in his sophomore year in junior high school? He was still memorizing the 3-4-5 method.

“Are you interested in the area of electronic technology?” ask Xu Fei as though something had just occurred to him. His eyes beaming, as though he had just found a good candidate.

Lin Xi parted her lips and was just about to answer his question when Xu Fei stood up all of a sudden and looked past her toward the entrance of the conference room.

“Boss Gu.”

Boss Gu? Gu Shao?!

Lin Xi was taken aback a little a little, bounced up quickly from where she was sitting, and turned to look behind her.

Translator's rambling:

* Refreshing is that this was not a crazy [rude] receptionist that yelled at our MC, which would subsequently lead to some brain dead faceslapping. =D

* 3-4-5 method – this translator is no valedictorian but I think I did decent in mathematics… NEVER HEARD OF THIS 3-4-5 method till I googled it today! O.O
