A love-struck Silicon Valley AI billionaire x a naturally shameless, unconventional-minded research genius and soon-to-be associate professor
When Meng Yan came to see Chen Junchuan, all he wanted was a set of data. Chen Junchuan, however, gave him equipment he wouldn't have to share with anyone, several thousand dollars' worth of ergonomic chairs, a Cybertruck, and a marriage certificate he somehow signed without quite realizing it.
Chen Junchuan thought he was supporting a poor student: smart, handsome, full of promise, and already thinking about switching to computer science at such a young age.
That is, until the day Chen Junchuan went to pick him up after class and discovered Meng Yan at the lectern. In the corner of the projected slide was the course title: Stanford University, Introduction to Cognitive Science. Two hundred students sat in the lecture hall. After class, someone even asked when Professor Meng planned to start taking students once he got tenure.
Chen Junchuan: ?
Chen Junchuan: ???
On the day the latest AI model, Nexa 3.0, was released, Meng Yan stared at his computer in silence for a long time. The innovation he'd been researching for six months had just been independently confirmed halfway by the model.
The next day, he showed up at the reception Chen Junchuan was attending. Chen Junchuan thought this was where their love story began. Years later, he would realize that everything he'd gone through had felt like an academic revenge plot devised by the youngest soon-to-be associate professor around.
