Wen Zhixia accepts compensation for calling off her engagement and starts working at a research institute.
That very day, everyone gossips about her, openly or behind her back:
Her fiance dumped her in public, and she acts like nothing happened. She even has the nerve to come work as a researcher!
Wen Zhixia couldn't care less:
What fiance? Men will only slow down how fast I can publish an SCI paper!
She boldly declares in front of the entire institute that she
is determined to become a top-tier researcher!
Not enough chip processing power? She'll build her own.
No open-source framework? She'll lay the foundation herself.
Foreign tech monopolies? Then she'll break them!
Everyone used to call her crazy.
Later, they were copying her papers on their knees.
Everyone who looked down on her
ended up dutifully citing her in their references.
"She wielded code like a plow, cultivating an age of intelligence in the barren wilderness of technology."
"First place will always belong to the East."
