Start with a fake university

The flight from domestic to Switzerland takes about ten hours.

Ding Yue and a group of six people took the flight from 9 am Yancheng time and arrived at Zurich, Switzerland, Europe, it was already around 7 pm Yancheng time.

however.

Since Switzerland is in the East Zone 1 and Xia Country is in the East Zone 8, the time difference between the two places is about seven hours.

In other words, 9 am in Xia Guo is 2 am in Switzerland.

After Ding Yue and his colleagues from Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences arrived in Zurich, Switzerland, it was around 12 noon.

"After flying for ten hours, is this Switzerland still daytime?"

After Huang Youjie got off the plane, he was a little confused for the first time.

He did not consider the time difference between the two places.

At this time, Xu Bin slapped Lao Huang's head: "Are you stupid, don't you have a time difference?"

"Yes, yes, forgot."

Hearing this, Old Huang nodded quickly.

After slept on the plane again, Ding Yue felt quite energetic after arriving in Zurich, Switzerland.

The problem of jet lag does not seem to be a big problem.

The other five people are in the same situation as Ding Yue.

"Principal Ding, I remember Switzerland from the Eastern District? And our Xia Guo is in the Eastern Eighth District, which means there is seven hours away from our Xia Guo, so the current time is Swiss time... .at noon?"

Wen Ruohan counted it seriously.

Ding Yue glanced at Wen Ruohan, the girl looked cute and cute with a serious look on time.

There is still some distance from the airport to the downtown area of ​​Zurich, but Wen Ruohan has already made preparations and contacted the hotel to have a special car to pick him up.

After all, it is a five-star hotel.

In addition, before the trip, Wen Ruohan had already exchanged a large amount of Euro currency for President Ding, which could be used for spending and shopping in Europe this time.

Soon, the hotel's special car came, a total of two, and Ding Yue's six people went to Zurich city.

The city of Zurich does not sound like it is not very famous in Europe?Compared with Paris, London, Berlin, Prague, etc., it seems to be less famous in China.

In fact, Zurich, as the largest city in the Swiss Confederation and the political, economic, cultural and transportation center of the country, is also the richest city in Europe. Zurich has been rated as one of the most livable cities in the world by UN-Habitat for many years. .

Here, Zurich has concentrated the headquarters of more than 120 banks around the world, more than half of which are foreign banks, so it is also known as the "European billionaire city" and one of the world's largest financial centers.

After arriving in the downtown area of ​​Zurich, Ding Yue found that the Limmat River was the boundary here, and the west bank should be the old city.

The east bank is the new city.

The hotel where Ding Yue and others lived is located in the Xincheng District.

After arriving at the hotel, Ding Yue's six people settled in the luxurious five-star hotel. Since there was no need for a presidential suite at all, Ding Yue only lived in an ordinary executive suite.

But the price is not cheap, but this amount of money is nothing to Ding Yue.

"Principal Ding, the suitcase is here for you, then I'll go back to the room first." Secretary Wen Ruohan put Principal Ding's suitcase in place and was about to leave.

"Okay, you can take a rest after you go back. Jet lag."

Ding Yue nodded.

However, Wen Ruohan shook his head and said: "Well, Principal Ding, I slept again on the plane, and I feel that there is no need for jet lag."

Just after Wen Ruohan's words fell, Huang Youjie and Xu Bin also came by at the door of Ding Yue's room.

"Just arrived in Switzerland, don't you rest?"

Ding Yue looked at Huang Youjie and Xu Bin in full of energy.

It seems that everyone slept on the plane. Now in Switzerland, although the time is only 12 noon, everyone is not sleepy at all, but very energetic.

The competition time of the ACM International College Student Programming Contest will be at 2 o’clock tomorrow afternoon, Swiss time. If you count this way, if you continue to sleep and rest now, you may not fall asleep at night, and it will be difficult to participate in the competition the next day. Up.

Thinking of this, Ding Yue frowned slightly, looked at Lao Huang and A Bin, and asked: "Should we go out for a stroll?"

"Right on my mind!"

Huang Youjie nodded excitedly.

Xu Bin also nodded: "I discussed with Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen. Today we will go out for a good stroll, take a good rest in the evening, and then face the ACM competition tomorrow!"

"That's all, let's go!"

Ding Yue saw that Xu Bin and his computer team had already planned the arrangement, so he immediately agreed to go out for a stroll.

Wandering around for an afternoon, and then coming back to have dinner and rest early in the evening, it was perfect.

"Hehehe, do you want a travel guide to Zurich."

At this time, Wen Ruohan was also excited, picked up the phone and waved it.

Before the trip, Wen Ruohan had already prepared a travel guide about Zurich, Switzerland, and even the entire Switzerland and Europe.

"Student Xiaowen, good job!" Ding Yue gave Wen Ruohan a thumbs up.

I have to say that his personal secretary is really careful and serious. Ding Yue can't remember how many times he has praised Wen Ruohan.

When he first asked Wen Ruohan, a student majoring in secretarial studies, to be his principal secretary, Ding Yue didn't know much about it. He thought it might take Wen Ruohan several years before he could use it easily.

Unexpectedly, after only more than a year, Wen Ruohan was already a mature secretary to the principal.

"A Bin, call Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen, let's go!"

Ever since.

The six people from Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences left the hotel and, under Wen Ruohan's careful guidance, took the urban public transportation and began to experience the richest city in Europe and the most livable city in the world.

According to the strategy prepared by Wen Ruohan, the old town of Zurich is a place to experience not to be missed. You can reach the old town of Zurich by trolleybus.

"This is the Gothic style of architecture, right?"

Walking on the streets of Zurich’s old town, Huang Youjie looked around, and occasionally saw a few European beauties. The buildings here are obviously different from those in China.

When he walked to a building, Old Huang couldn't help it anymore, and quickly called Wen Ruohan to take pictures in front of the building.

"Hey, hey, Xiaowen is my personal secretary." Ding Yue glared at Lao Huang and jokingly said, "I will charge you for taking pictures of you."

Lao Huang was already immersed in various poses for taking pictures, and he ignored Ding Yue at all.

Ding Yue found that traditional craftsmen and antique dealers, bookstores and flower shops gathered in the old town of Zurich. At the same time, there were also jewelry and fashion boutiques.

Obviously, the best way to visit the old city is to walk. The streets here are not the same as the streets of domestic cities. The ground is paved with cobblestones. It passes through the city and stops in every street. Sometimes the streets are very different. Quiet, and it's really suitable for posing when there is enough light.

Walking down a street, Wen Ruohan was quickly attracted by a jewelry store.

"Principal Ding, can I go in and have a look?"

Wen Ruohan asked Principal Ding for instructions.

After all, she is the only girl who is more suitable for visiting the jewelry store, and it will obviously take a while to visit the jewelry store. You have to ask Principal Ding if they can wait for themselves.

Ding Yue nodded with a smile after hearing this.

So Wen Ruohan rushed into that jewelry store.

In this richest city in Europe, even though it is an old city, there are still many jewellery and fashion boutiques. Various well-known brands are also everywhere. The consumption of wanting to come here should not be low.

After about three to five minutes, Wen Ruohan walked out of the jewelry shop just now in despair.

"Stop shopping?"

Ding Yue asked Wen Ruohan who was downcast.

"It's so expensive!"

Wen Ruohan said a sentence that many young people in today's society often say when they face consumption.

"This trip to Europe, you do many things for everyone. Let's do it, this principal will reward you. You go in and choose a piece of jewelry you like, and I pay the bill."

Ding Yue smiled faintly and said to Wen Ruohan.

Wen Ruohan immediately beamed with joy when he heard this, and asked in amazement: "Principal Ding, really?"

"Huh huh? When did the principal say something?" Ding Yue shrugged.

"Yeah! Long live Principal Ding!"

Wen Ruohan instantly rekindled his excitement and joy, and then rushed into the jewelry store.

In the end, Wen Ruohan chose a piece of jewelry worth about 500 euros, which is equivalent to about three thousand five thousand yuan.

When Ding Yue walked into the jewelry shop to pay, he realized that the piece of jewelry that Wen Ruohan chose was actually very cheap in this shop.

"Student Wen Ruohan, there are obviously better ones, why did you pick a 500 Euro jewelry?"

After walking out of the jewelry store, Ding Yue couldn't help asking Wen Ruohan curiously.

In this case, a girl who is more vain may choose a piece of jewelry that is thousands of euros or even more expensive.

"I think this one is very good-looking, and I also like it very much. It's 500 Euros, Principal, it's very expensive!"

Wen Ruohan said simple and delighted.

Ding Yue couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.

This girl is quite nice.

Wandering around in the old town of Zurich and experiencing the alternative urban scenery here, Ding Yue and everyone unknowingly came to the riverside.

This river should be the Limmat River that accompanies the old city.

By the river, there are tourists interacting with the swans by the river, which is quite interesting.

"You said that if you lived here, how comfortable would it be?"

"This is the wealthiest city in Europe. It would be uncomfortable to live here without money."

"Hahaha, thinking about it this way, in fact, I think it's pretty good in China."

"Yes, yes, right, we also have many cozy cities in Xia Country, with great mountain and river scenery. This is Zurich, in fact."

"By the way, Chen Jun, which city do you want to live in in the future?"

"I want to go to Shu City, where the pace of life is slower, how about you?"

"I want to go... Actually, I want to buy a villa in a quiet place, and then I have nothing to do with software and programs. How comfortable were those days."

Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen, two computer science students, walked along the Limmat River and chatted.

"I think classmate Ouyang Chen, your idea is pretty good." After Ding Yue heard it, he naturally joined the chat: "I will work hard in the future. The money for a villa will actually be earned soon. Owning your own villa, the time technology is also advancing, will it not be beautiful to work remotely in your own villa in a quiet environment?

Ding Yue felt that it might not be difficult for Ouyang Chen to realize this wish.

His computer skills are very good. Xu Bin told Ding Yue about this, otherwise he would not choose him to form a team to participate in the ACM International College Student Programming Competition.

Ding Yue obviously wants to keep a computer talent like Ouyang Chen for his own use.

After he joins his Feiyue Group and develops awesome software programs, making money will not be difficult for Ouyang Chen.

"But when I go to work in the future, how can a company let programmers not go to the company to work remotely at home every day."

Chen Jun reluctantly shook his head and sighed.

In China, programmers in the computer industry, in addition to working at the company during the day, working overtime, and returning home at night, they may also work overtime at any time, which can be described as miserable.

It's hard to think of working remotely from home as you like.

Of course, except for the special circumstances of last year.

"In the future, in our Feiyue Group, the outstanding computer talents can work remotely anywhere they want."

Ding Yue looked at Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen and said with a smile.

Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen listened, and they were full of yearning for President Ding's Feiyue Group.

All the students studying at Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences know that Feiyue Group is the group company behind Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, and it also belongs to President Ding.

The benefits of Feiyue Group are even more explosive, which is also known to many students.

Because the first batch of students who entered the Feiyue Group was the one from the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Although they are manufacturing medical and health robots in the Feiyue Group, their benefits are still far higher than those of similar machinery design and manufacturing companies.

"Principal Ding, what you just said can really be achieved? If you work in our school's own company after graduation, you don't need to check in from 9 to 5 every day?"

Chen Jun asked Principal Ding excitedly.

Ding Yue smiled calmly and nodded: "Yes, in fact, as long as you have equipment for tasks like computer programs and software, where is it different?"

"Principal Ding, I heard that Feiyue Animation Studios have been on vacation after they finished "Big Hero 6" and they are still on paid vacation. Is it true?"

Ouyang Chen also asked curiously.

The company treats its employees too well, right?

You should know that working overtime in most companies in China has basically become the norm, and even someone said that 996 is a blessing, programmers and other 007 have long been commonplace.

However, Feiyue Animation Studio, which many students majoring in animation at Wucheng University of Arts and Science have joined, actually took a vacation from September to December, which is not too cool.

Feiyue Animation is a department of Feiyue Group. Seeing the big from the small, it can be seen that President Ding’s Feiyue Group is really a good place to go.

It's just that Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen didn't know whether President Ding's Feiyue Group could recruit computer graduates.

"Of course, Feiyue Animation Studios and their side, this time is considered a big success, it is normal to take more time off."

Ding Yue replied, then looked at Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen, and asked, "Where do you two want to work after graduation?"

"Silicon Valley!"

"Zhongguancun!"

For college students studying computer science, places like Silicon Valley and Zhongguancun are undoubtedly their dream destinations.

"Very good." Ding Yue praised Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen's employment goals after graduation.

but!

Silicon Valley and Zhongguancun may not be the best places for Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen.

"Have you considered staying?"

Ding Yue looked at the two suddenly and asked: "The school is also preparing to build its own high-tech industry, and it needs talents in the computer field like you."

Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen are just like Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei from the Mechanical Department. Of course, Ding Yue must be in his hands.

Such outstanding students will inevitably be technical talents in the computer industry in the future. They will play a very important role in Ding Yue's development of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences in an internal cycle.

"Principal Ding, you just said...after we graduate, let us stay?" Chen Jun widened his eyes and said, "Actually, I am willing to join."

Ding Yue couldn't help but glance at Chen Jun.

Unexpectedly, this young man was so active, and he could see that he should belong to the kind of "iron fan" of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences.

"I am also willing. In fact, I really want to work with Director Xu to develop software programs." Ouyang Chen also nodded and said.

Seeing the two students express their opinions, Ding Yue nodded with joy: "Okay, well, then I will represent Feiyue Group in advance and welcome you to join."

"what's the topic?"

At this time, after Xu Bin finished teasing the swans by the river, he came over and asked curiously when Ding Yue was chatting with Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen.

"Recruiting talent."

Ding Yue just responded to Xu Bin's four brief people, and then walked towards Lao Huang and Wen Ruohan: "The old town is finished, let's go and see today's highlight."

"The highlight?"

Xu Bin couldn't help but froze for a while, and muttered, "What's the highlight?"

"What do we do?" Ding Yue turned his head and looked at Xu Bin and asked.

"Come to participate in the ACM International College Student Program Design Competition." Xu Bin replied.

"Uh, I mean, our Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences...is a university. Since we are in the richest city in Europe, we must not go to see the university here."

"You mean!"

When Xu Bin heard the words, his face suddenly showed joy, and then excitedly said: "ETH Zurich!"

Ding Yue smiled slightly and nodded.

"ETH Zurich, what kind of funny is this? Is there our Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences good?"

Wen Ruohan heard the name of the university mentioned by Director Xu not far away, and couldn't help asking Huang Youjie next to him.

"puff!"

Huang Youjie just drank a sip of water and it burst out immediately.

"What's wrong with Huang?"

Ding Yue just walked over, and when he saw Lao Huang spit out water, he asked curiously.

"Just now... the secretary of the text asked, ETH Zurich, is there any good at Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, hahaha!"

Lao Huang couldn't help it, and laughed out loud.

Wen Ruohan looked blank, wondering what was going on: "Could it be...this Zurich Federal Institute of Technology, is it amazing?"

Obviously, Ding Yue could see that Wen Ruohan didn’t know ETH Zurich, because the name of this university is really not that easy to remember. Compared with Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial College, Nanyang Technological University, it is a real mouthful. Some.

"Classmate Xiaowen, haven't you heard of ETH Zurich?" Ding Yue asked Wen Ruohan, looking at him.

Wen Ruohan really shook his head very honestly.

Wen Ruohan can't recognize so many universities in China, let alone universities around the world, Wen Ruohan has not studied it.

"Speaking of the top three universities in Europe, which three do you think can enter?" Ding Yue asked Wen Ruohan again.

"Well, Cambridge? Oxford? These two colleges and universities are definitely possible, right?"

"Yes."

Ding Yue nodded.

"Well, what about the third one?" Wen Ruohan was stunned, because speaking of the world's famous universities in Europe, Wen Ruohan can only think of Cambridge University and Oxford University.

A smile appeared at the corner of Ding Yue's mouth, and he stretched out his hand to pat Wen Ruohan's head and said, "This third one is ETH Zurich."

"so smart?"

Wen Ruohan was instantly stunned when he heard this.

This university, which I have never heard of, can actually be tied with Cambridge and Oxford?

It's incredible!

"In the QS World University Rankings, Oxford University ranked fourth in the world, and Cambridge University ranked seventh in the world. Do you know where ETH Zurich ranks?"

Ding Yue asked with a smile again.

"I know I know, ETH Zurich is sixth!" Ouyang Chen stepped forward excitedly at this time.

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue turned his head and glared at Ouyang Chen.

"Wow! Number six in the world!" Wen Ruohan was dumbfounded.

This is beyond Wen Ruohan's imagination just now, because Wen Ruohan just heard President Ding say that ETH Zurich can be ranked among the top three universities in the world in Europe with Cambridge University and Oxford University. How can it be ranked in the top 20 in the world? ?

I didn’t expect it to be ranked sixth, which is even higher than the University of Cambridge. It’s terrifying!

"The ETH Zurich has always been called the number one university in Europe, showing its strength!"

Xu Bin explained to Wen Ruohan.

"At ETH Zurich, too many have won the Nobel Prize, Fields Medal, and Turing Prize. Einstein graduated from ETH Zurich!" Ding Yue patiently informed Wen Ruohan.

hiss!

Wen Ruohan couldn't help taking a breath.

Who doesn't know Einstein!

Actually graduated from this university?

No wonder this university is so powerful. I actually asked if this university has our Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences.

This is not a question of whether it is too powerful or not, it is simply a slap!

Ding Yue saw that Wen Ruohan was so surprised, and then smiled: "But in the future, our Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences may be even better than the Zurich Federal Institute of Technology."
