Zhang Wenxing looked through Lu Zhou's code framework and nodded approvingly from time to time.
Meanwhile, Yuan Haizhou, who was also browsing on the computer next to him, turned black with anger. It was because anyone knowledgeable in the field could see the practicality of the main framework written by Lu Zhou.
After Zhang Wenxing finished reading, he spoke up, "Not bad, young man. I can see that your technical skills are solid. The design of this program framework shows your understanding and skills. It's clear that you've spent a lot of time contemplating it."
Lu Zhou naturally felt delighted. As the saying goes, outsiders watch the excitement while insiders look at the doorway. The fact that he received praise from the old associate dean indicated that Lu Zhou's skills had reached a high level. "Thanks to my alma mater's nurturing, I wouldn't have this foundation without the cultivation of my alma mater. When I graduated, I once attended a lecture by the dean on the forefront of cloud computing. Later, I chose to work at a cloud computing company because of that class."
Zhang Wenxing, upon hearing Lu Zhou's words, also felt pleased. However, he had been in the field for decades, so how could he not know that Lu Zhou was taking advantage of his satisfaction to gain more praise? "Oh? There aren't many companies specializing in cloud computing business in China at the moment. Where did you work before, young man?"
Lu Zhou had some understanding of the situation and, fortunately, he had indeed joined Huiteng after graduating because of Associate Dean Zhang's cutting-edge course. So, he straightforwardly mentioned Huiteng's name.
Zhang Wenxing nodded again, and a hint of joy appeared between his white eyebrows. He then smiled and said, "So it's Song's company. That kid called me a couple of days ago, saying that the company had lost a key member and it was a significant setback. So it was you!"
Lu Zhou felt a bit awkward. He didn't expect that the boss, Song, turned out to be his direct senior brother. "Then, Dean, what about the entrepreneurship base?"
Zhang Wenxing waved his hand, "Xiao Yuan, approve it for this young man! If he doesn't get approved, not many will."
Yuan Haizhou, who had been neglected on the side, felt suffocated. But when an academician spoke, as a department director, he couldn't continue suppressing Lu Zhou and had to reluctantly agree.
Afterward, Zhang Wenxing stood up to leave and said to Lu Zhou, "Alright, take your application and go get the key. If you encounter any technical problems, you can come to me for advice."
"Thank you, Dean!"
Lu Zhou also stood up, intending to support Zhang Wenxing out of the office. But Zhang Wenxing waved his hand, "I'm not that old yet. Young man, work hard. When you need servers, go buy them from Xiao Song and ask for a discount. The old dean's influence still has some use."
Then Zhang Wenxing laughed heartily and left the office.
Lu Zhou couldn't help but feel moved. He had never encountered this kind of friendly style from the previous timeline's associate dean. He glanced at Yuan Haizhou, whose face had turned somewhat dark, and couldn't help but mutter, "We're all hardworking gardeners and teachers of the people. Why is there such a big difference?"
After that, Lu Zhou obtained the key by clarifying the details and left the administrative building of the college to head towards the Student Affairs Office.
Thanks to Yixian University's work-study program, the scene inside the Student Affairs Office was completely different from the administrative
building. There was only one teacher there, and the rest were mostly student cadres involved in work-study programs.
Lu Zhou found the corresponding office desk, where a short-haired female student was diligently organizing some documents. When she noticed Lu Zhou approaching, she took the initiative to ask, "Hello, fellow student. How can I assist you?"
Lu Zhou smiled faintly and said, "Hello, I have applied for the entrepreneurship base venue. Here are the application documents."
The girl looked at Lu Zhou's smile and suddenly became stunned. She felt a bit hesitant to meet Lu Zhou's gaze. She took the documents from Lu Zhou, verified their accuracy, entered the information into the computer, and then went to get the documents signed by the teachers in the office and the key.
After a while, the girl returned to her desk and handed the key to Lu Zhou with both hands. "Senior Lu, here you go. Your key. The venue is in Zhu Yuan 305."
Lu Zhou took the key but became a bit puzzled when he heard "Zhu Yuan." "Thank you. But isn't Zhu Yuan the male dormitory building?"
"Yes, Senior. Because the previous entrepreneurship base venues were all taken, the school allocated the subsequent approved venues to Zhu Yuan. Each floor of Zhu Yuan has two or three vacant student studios. The school decided to use them as part of the entrepreneurship base. Your application is the first one to be approved for Zhu Yuan."
After listening, Lu Zhou understood. When he was in the student union before, he occasionally had meetings in those studios. They were around 50-60 square meters in size and could accommodate around ten people for office work. The school aimed to make better use of the space and allocated it as part of the entrepreneurship base.
"Okay. By the way, I wanted to ask about posting internship recruitment notices on the campus bulletin board for second and third-year students. What's the procedure for that?"
The girl took out an application form from a file folder and handed it to Lu Zhou. "Senior, fill out this form and give us the recruitment poster. In principle, each application can only be posted for a maximum of two weeks. After that, you'll need to submit another form to us."
Lu Zhou took the form and said, "Okay, thank you."
The girl smiled sweetly. "You're welcome, senior."
After Lu Zhou left, the girl waved to her classmate at the nearby desk and whispered, "Wow, Xiaoyan! That senior just now..."
Meanwhile, Lu Zhou headed to Zhu Yuan 305 to check the situation. He also remembered that Fang Qiang had returned to campus today, so he called him and asked him to wait at room 305.
When he arrived at 305, Fang Qiang was excited. "Holy shit, Lu Bro, this is amazing! They approved it right below my floor. It only takes me two minutes to get to work. This is so fortunate!"
Lu Zhou chuckled. "What's the rush? Did you give up on the job you found earlier?"
Fang Qiang patted his chest. "Of course not, I have to follow Lu Bro and enjoy the benefits."
"Alright, there's no need to reject the other opportunity so quickly. We still have several months. But you can keep working here until graduation."
Opening the door to 305, the room was as Lu Zhou remembered—not large but sufficient. The school had provided a whiteboard, a large desk, and about ten office desks and chairs.
Fang Qiang looked around and nodded repeatedly. "Yeah, not bad, not bad. Yixian is quite generous. The equipment is sufficient, although they are a bit stingy when it comes to providing computers."
Lu Zhou chuckled. "A dozen computers would cost tens of thousands of yuan. It's not that easy to get. It's more troublesome to go through the process than to buy them with money. After we have lunch, I'll transfer 50,000 yuan to you. In the afternoon, you can go to the computer market and get eight computers and
