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 .
