1970s Gangster Couple NOT MTL

The moment they considered the potential prospects that quantum computing could achieve, the top echelons immediately gave it unprecedented attention. The day after the research and development was completed, the senior leadership instructed a celebration banquet to be held for the project team led by Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao was, unsurprisingly, the star of tonight's celebration.

Everyone involved in this project was no ordinary person, which also meant that those who could participate were not young. Amidst a group of old scientists who were either over fifty or even had white hair, Xiao Xiao, a young girl as fresh as spring, was particularly eye-catching.

By the time she arrived, most people were already there.

Tonight, only those involved in the quantum computer project were present, and without any reservations, having completed the project, they gathered in groups, some reflecting on what they had achieved over the past six months.

An elderly man with graying hair said, "Before meeting Teacher Xiao, I never believed that there could be someone so intelligent in this world. What I've learned from Teacher Xiao in these six months surpasses what I've learned in most of my lifetime."

"Exactly," another person added excitedly.

Others were fantasizing about the future prospects of quantum computing, getting so excited at times that they couldn't help but gesticulate wildly.

Quantum computing is a revolutionary breakthrough that will undoubtedly change history. Those involved in this project considered themselves extremely fortunate.

At that moment, Xiao Xiao arrived.

In truth, she didn't want to come. Having been cooped up in the laboratory these days, now that she finally had some free time, she wanted to spend it having a good conversation with Wang Wei on the sofa.

However, Professor Wang insisted that she come, saying that the leaders had specifically organized this celebration banquet for her.

After giving it some thought, considering that protecting Wang Wei and her younger sister also depended on the government, she decided to attend.

As soon as Xiao Xiao entered the venue, someone shouted, "Teacher Xiao is here," and the previously lively venue suddenly quieted down.

"Teacher Xiao."

"Teacher Xiao!"

"Teacher Xiao, you've arrived!!!"

As she made her way in from the entrance, people spontaneously made way for her. Calls of "Teacher Xiao," filled with excitement or gratitude, followed her.

Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded at them, "You are all my seniors; there's no need for such formalities. Please, take your seats."

"Exactly, everyone should just eat and drink as they please; Xiao Xiao is under my care," Professor Wang and Professor Xu declared, positioning themselves on either side of Xiao Xiao like two generals, leading her directly to the main table.

"Some people are just too shameless, like old Xu and old Wang. Just with the little knowledge in their bellies, they dare to claim Teacher Xiao as their student!" someone commented disdainfully, not appreciating the overt closeness Professor Xu and Professor Wang seemed to display with Xiao Xiao.

They were calling her "Teacher Xiao," while these two old guys shamelessly claimed her as their student, as if they were her ancestors. It was utterly shameless!

Of course, nobody took these honorific titles to heart. They respected Xiao Xiao's knowledge enough to willingly call her their teacher. As for Professor Wang and Professor Xu, it was their good fortune to have become Xiao Xiao's teachers from the start. What was irritating was seeing Professors Wang and Xu making a show of their closeness to Xiao Xiao in front of everyone.
