Chapter 246 Who Is Your Wife?

"Hey, Professor Voss, it's me, Naitang."

"Naitang, why did you remember to call the teacher? Your teacher's wife was still talking about you just now." Old Man Vos's smiling voice came through the phone signal.

"That's it, teacher, will you and your wife be at home tomorrow? I want to visit you." Xia Naitang also said with a smile, with a hint of respect for the teacher in his tone.

"At home, at home. As soon as I retire, I will spoil the old man. If the school doesn't need me for anything, I will accompany your teacher's wife every day."

"The teacher and his wife have a deep love for each other. I have always envied your love."

"Hahaha..." Professor Voss laughed, and then said seriously, "By the way, Naitang, if you want to come, our couple will definitely welcome you, but it's best not to bring outsiders."

"outsider?"

"Yes, the school held an academic conference today, followed by a reception, but it turned out to be a platform for capitalists to poach scholars and scientists from our school. They even dispatched my former student - Si Yingying , want to poach me to be the honorary dean of some scientific research institute."

"...Why is the teacher so resistant to this?"

"I have stayed at ETHZ all my life. It holds everything for me. I have never thought about going to other universities and colleges, let alone a private company like Toffee Network. Wait, Naitang, you just asked that, is it true? Want to be a lobbyist too?”

Xia Naitang paused, her voice weakened by two points: "Professor..."

Hearing the change in her tone, Nicholas Voss understood instantly. He was very puzzled: "Naitang, you have always only focused on academics and ignored worldly affairs. How could you be willing to be a lobbyist for a private company? They What exactly was given to you?”

Xia Naitang was silent for two seconds and said seriously: "They didn't give me anything, just... I know the boss of Toffee Network."

"We know each other? What's your relationship?"

"He's my man."

Professor Voss on the other end of the phone was stunned. He didn't expect that Xia Naitang, who had determined to devote his life to science, would actually get married without saying a word?

After a moment of silence, Professor Voss exhaled and said with a smile: "I understand, but Naitang, you yourself are also well-known in the academic world, and your scientific research and engineering technology capabilities are extraordinary, so why would you invite What if I join your company?"

"Professor Voss, thanks to your many years of cultivation, I am fortunate enough to have achieved some insignificant scientific research achievements in academia, but how can I compare with a highly respected teacher? On the other hand, it is also because I am pregnant. For a long time, you may not be able to devote yourself to scientific research. Therefore, we very much hope and need you to join the Toffee Network."

"In addition, I want to explain to you that although Toffee Network is a private company, our investment in research and development is very high. Not only do we have ambitions and ideals to use technology to change the world, but we also do have hope. Achieved..." Xia Naitang spared no effort to explain the technological development concept of Tawtang Network to Professor Voss, trying to prove that in the field of computer science today and in the future, private companies have stronger innovation capabilities than universities and colleges, while Tawtang Network As long as a scientific research and innovation system is built, it will be able to lead the next technological revolution in the future. However, it has not yet become a real business giant, and it needs the first and second batches of highly sophisticated global scientific research elites to join.

This call lasted for nearly half an hour. Nicholas Voss's mood remained the same and unmoved. He was originally indifferent to computer commercialization, and Si Yingying had also explained the scientific research of Toffee Network to him before. Concept, so Xia Naitang's persuasion has no effect.Old Man Voss said seriously: "Naitang, I know all what you said, but I have retired. I just want to live some leisure time with your wife and guard this three-acre land of ETHZ. It's enough for you." As an old Chinese saying goes, fame, fortune and fortune are like floating clouds to me. That's it. Since you are pregnant, you don't need to visit me and your wife anymore. Take good care of your baby."

"professor……"

Xia Naitang was stunned for a moment, and finally understood the teacher's intentions. He was probably really old and tired. His past academic ideals were not as important as the few days left in his life. Everyone has his own ambitions. , You can’t force yourself.

"I understand. Teacher, you and your wife, please take care of yourself." Xia Naitang chatted with Voss for the last few words, then hung up the phone, her mood becoming increasingly complicated.

Even if he personally persuaded the teacher, he was unwilling. He originally thought that he could do something for Chen Yu, but he didn't expect this result.

Xia Naitang exhaled the fragrance of orchid, sat on the bedside, looked at her slightly bulging abdomen, her eyes were gentle and watery, and then said to the baby in her belly: "Mom tried her best, but Master is still unwilling to help your father." , what should we do, little princess? It seems that mom can only follow your dad to London and visit Mr. Kirstein. Although your dad is a bit annoying, mom really wants to do something to help your dad. Woolen cloth."

Talking to himself, Xia Naitang didn't fall asleep until the lights in the house went out and the clear moon hung high outside. The moonlight could not penetrate through the closed curtains and was blocked outside the villa. Xia Naitang fell asleep peacefully like a dream.

The next day, early morning.

At the dining table in the lobby on the first floor of the villa, Xia Naitang and Chen Yu were drinking porridge together. She suddenly whispered: "Sleep late last night?"

"well enough."

"Are you okay? You have dark circles under your eyes." Xia Naitang's tone was calmer than yesterday, but still a little cold.

"No way, I'm not used to sleeping alone." Chen Yu said with a smile.

But he didn't realize that he had jumped into a pit. Xia Naitang asked sharply: "So when I was not in the country, you didn't sleep alone?"

Although she asked knowingly, Xia Naitang just wanted to use this sentence to criticize him. This bastard is living a happy life in China and doesn't care about us at all. She and the baby have been waiting for him in Zurich for more than two months!
"Uh..." Chen Yu really couldn't answer this question. He could only clear his throat and change the subject, "Toffee, you said that old man Voss was your mentor back then. Why are you so arrogant? He has so much money, even if he is asked to be the honorary dean of our company’s scientific research institute, he would not agree.”

"Don't waste your time. Professor Voss just wants to enjoy his retirement life with his wife and doesn't want to deal with worldly affairs anymore, so it's better for you and Yingying not to disturb him."

"Okay... everything you say is right. I don't have much hope." Chen Yu was quite helpless. Since his mother said so, he could only give up completely and give up asking Vos to come out.

"Yeah." Xia Naitang nodded slightly and was silent for about ten seconds. She looked at Chen Yu again and lightly opened her red lips, "A friend of mine called me last night and invited me to attend a classical concert in London. I'll be leaving soon."

"Why do you want to go to a classical concert? Didn't you like it before? Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Also, is your friend a boy or a girl?" Chen Yu was most concerned about the last question.

Xia Naitang naturally heard Chen Yu's thoughts from the change in his tone. She gave him a cold look angrily: "Female!"

"Oh, that's good." Chen Yu smiled. In fact, he was asking questions knowingly. Naitang has always been a woman with a strong sense of boundaries. How could she go to a concert with another man? "By the way, what kind of music?" Yes, I will buy a ticket and listen to it with you and the baby."

"I forgot to ask, I won't find out until we get there."

"........."

Chen Yu was speechless for a while, then he smiled and said: "It's okay, I was going to London anyway, let's go together as a family of three."

"Oh." Xia Naitang did not refute.

……

It took less than an hour to fly from Zurich to London. In the two seats next to each other in the first class cabin, Chen Yu talked to Xia Naitang about his plans to visit Mr. Kirstein, buying horse bones for thousands of dollars, known as the "European Mr. Korstein, the "Father of the Internet", has a prestige that is unparalleled in the European computer circle. He is nowhere higher than Professor Voss.If he can be persuaded to join Toffee Network, then the company's scientific research institute will no longer worry about building a first-class talent team.

Xia Naitang also agreed with his idea, but the question she asked was: "What do you plan to name the company's scientific research institute?" Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's called Toffee Science and Technology Research Courtyard, how is it?"

"It's ugly, more than a little bit."

"Uh……"

"Change your name."

"CX Research Institute? C stands for Chen and X stands for Xia. How about it?"

"...Tu." Xia Naitang still rejected Chen Yu's proposal. She looked at Chen Yu's somewhat depressed expression, but felt a little proud in her heart, but what name should she choose?

She suddenly remembered a company from China called SpaceX. If this private company was based on its technological accumulation and its own strength, it would be difficult for this private company to be as famous as it is today.But with a concept, or belief, of exploring space and immigrating to Mars, it has brought together a group of the world's top aerospace talents.

Maybe Toffee Network can do the same...

She lightly opened her red lips: "Science and Truth, science and truth, simple and clear, what do you think?"

"Why this name? Institute of Science and Truth Science and Technology? It's too long and repetitive."

"It's called Science and Truth, without the suffix, or 'S&T' for short. Tell others simply and clearly that our scientific research institute is a place to study science, explore truth, and seek knowledge. There is no need to be responsible for its own profits and losses, no need to complete traditional KPIs, and no need to think about it. Anything other than science and truth, scholars and scientists who join 'S&T' do it to explore the truth in computers and related fields, and for human civilization to enter a more information-based and technological era. Simply put, join 'S&T' ', one is to explore the truth, and the other is to change the world. I think these are the two most attractive things to most scientists."

After Xia Naitang said this, she turned her head to look at Chen Yu, only to find that he looked dumbfounded, with a hint of cuteness in his handsomeness. This made her heart beat faster and she couldn't help but ask: " Why are you looking at me like that again?"

Chen Yu came back to his senses and smiled: "Toffee, I found that you actually care about me, you have considered so much for me."

"......Who cares about you anymore?"

"Could it be that I am being sentimental?"

"Ah."

"Okay, just think I'm being pretentious, but your suggestion is good and I'll take it."

"Ah."

Xia Naitang stopped talking and just responded with a sound from his throat.

When he arrived in London, he left the station and the terminal, but Chen Yu didn't see anyone coming to pick him up. He asked, "Toffee, where is your friend? Isn't she here to pick him up?"

"She must be very busy."

"Then let's find a hotel first. I mean it can accommodate us two, and there are absolutely no other bad intentions." After Chen Yu said this, he quickly explained.

"Humph!"

Xia Naitang snorted, but finally followed Chen Yu to a hotel near the Thames River, checked in, and put down his backpack and luggage. Chen Yu felt relaxed and in a good mood. This was mainly because Chen Yu only opened One room.

Although it was a twin room, Toffee and I most likely had separate beds, but at least we lived in the same room, right?Just like it was in Yanjing, wasn't it the same scene at the beginning?

Then, Xia Naitang looked at the time and said, "Didn't you agree to visit Mr. Kirstein today? It will take a lot of time to get from here to the suburbs, including traffic jams."

"I know. The people and cars of Toffee Network are ready. I'll leave in a moment."

"Ah."

"Then you wait here and don't run around. I'm worried about being pregnant. Natalie has sent a bodyguard and will protect you. When the time comes, you can help me buy a ticket. I will definitely rush before the concert starts. return."

"Is there a concert? I'll call and ask my friend." Xia Naitang took out her mobile phone and actually called a woman named "Isabella Windsor" in front of Chen Yu.

"Isabella, I have arrived in London..."

The two chatted for a long time. It was probably that Isabella was very busy today and could not meet until before the concert started in the evening. She could not accompany Xia Naitang during the day and could not fulfill her friendship as a landlord.Xia Naitang also said that he was staying in a hotel and could walk around London without her company, leaving her busy with work first. He just asked her if she could buy another ticket for her neighbor. Isabella did not hesitate. accepted.

"For the baby's sake, you can come to the classical music concert with us tonight."

"Actually, I have no interest in that stuff, but I am still very interested in being with my wife and children."

"Who is your wife? I have read your interview. She is the little fox, right?"

"Well... at least you are our daughter's mother, right? So, we are also a family of three."

Xia Naitang was silent for a while, no longer discussing this issue with him, and instead said: "It's getting late, let's go."

"what?"

"Go visit old Mr. Kirstein."

"Didn't you just say that you wanted to take a walk in London?"

"When I was studying for my PhD, I had already visited the city of London, but I had never been to the suburbs of London. I just stopped by this time." Xia Naitang said unhurriedly, and then looked at her gently. The slightly bulging belly said, "Baby, she wants to go too, right?"

Chen Yu also smiled. Toffee was still the same arrogant person as before, talking what she meant.

You obviously want to be with yourself, but you still don't admit it.

Then, the two of them left the hotel, took a special car sent by the London branch, and drove towards the suburbs.
