After watching Jordyn and Beck leave, Trevor and Wynn also got into their car and headed to the restaurant.
A few minutes after they arrived in their private dining room, Zachary also arrived.
“Mr. Newman.” Seeing Zachary push the door open, Trevor and Wynn both stood up to greet him.
Zachary showed no surprise upon seeing Wynn.
Wynn politely reintroduced herself, “Hello, Mr. Newman. My name is Wynn Locket. We met before at the technology exhibition-”
“I know.” Zachary’s expression remained neutral as he briefly shook her hand.
After he had sat down, Wynn took the seat beside him and said, “I greatly admire you. I’ve always hoped for the opportunity to meet you in person and discuss the AI industry face–to–face.”
“Mm.”
At that moment, Trevor’s phone buzzed. He stood up and said to them, “I need to take a call. You two go ahead and talk.”
Wynn nodded.
After Trevor had stepped out, Wynn picked up the menu and handed it to Zachary. “Mr. Newman, shall we order first and discuss things over dinner?”
Zachary pushed the menu aside and said, “No need for now.“‘
Wynn paused, slightly caught off guard.
Before she could react, Zachary asked bluntly, “You want to be my student?”
Wynn didn’t expect him to be so direct. But she wasn’t intimidated by the fact that he was one of the top figures in the AI field.
With confidence and composure, she admitted, “Yes. I have a strong interest in AI and hope to study under you to further improve myself.”
Since she had come to meet Zachary, she had naturally prepared in advance.
After speaking, she took out her laptop and said, “May I show you the project I developed for my PhD?”
Zachary scrolled through her work, reviewing the data. After examining a few sets of figures, he commented in an indifferent tone, “For a PhD dissertation, it’s certainly above average.”
Hearing this, Wynn’s smile deepened, and she felt even more confident.
Just as she was about to speak, Zachary let go of the mouse, shifted his gaze away from the screen, and asked, ” Did you complete this project this year?”
“Yes.”
“That’s all?”
Wynn hesitated for a moment, unsure if he was satisfied and expecting more impressive work from her, or if he was unimpressed but willing to give her another chance.
However, she had always been a top student at her university, had won numerous awards, and her PhD advisor

had spoken highly of her.
It was worth noting that her advisor was a highly influential figure in Andostan’s AI research community and had even participated in several of the nation’s aerospace projects.
His praise carried significant weight.
Thinking of this, Wynn regained her composure and said, conducted a technical analysis of the AI products showcased at the last technology exhibition. Would you like to hear about it?”
“Go ahead.”
Wynn then began an in–depth technical discussion on an autonomous vehicle exhibited at the event, focusing on its three core aspects of perception, planning, and control.
She spoke for over ten minutes.
During this time, Trevor briefly returned, only to say that he had another important call to take.
A while later, just as Wynn was about to continue speaking, Zachary suddenly looked up and said, “That’s enough.

Wynn immediately stopped.
Zachary stood up and gave his final assessment.
