No More Layovers for a Love That Won't Land novel Chapter 141

“Mr. Nolan.”

Upon seeing Nolan walk in through the door, both Matteo and Raven stood upib greet him.

Upon seeing Raven, there was no surprise on Nolan’s face.

Raven politely introduced herself again, “Hello, Mr. Nolan. My name is Raven Brown. We met before at the technology exhibition-”

“I know,” Nolan replied, his face neutral, extending his hand to shake hers.

Once Nolan sat down, Raven took the seat next to him and then said, “I have always admired you, and I’ve been hoping for an opportunity to meet you, to discuss the AI field with you face to face.”

Nolan simply responded with a brief “Mm.”

At this moment, Matteo’s phone rang. He stood up, saying to Nolan and Raven, “I’ll step out to take this call. Please, continue your discussion.”

Raven nodded.

After Matteo left, Raven picked up the menu and handed it to Nolan, saying, “Mr. Nolan, let’s order first and then

chat while we eat?”

Nolan pushed the menu aside, saying, “Not yet.”

Raven paused, not sure of what he meant. Before she could react, Nolan directly spoke, “Do you want to be my

student?”

Raven hadn’t expected him to be so direct.

Nolan was straightforward, and despite his status as one of the top figures in the AI field, Raven wasn’t intimidated. Calmly and confidently, she admitted,

“Yes, I am very interested in the AI field, and I hope to learn from you to achieve even greater progress.”

Since she had come to meet Nolan, she had prepared well in advance.

She then took out her computer and said, “Let me show you the product I developed when I graduated with my PhD.”

Nolan scrolled through the mouse and reviewed her graduation project.

After going through a few sets of data, he said in a low voice, “As a graduation project, it is indeed much better than

what most doctoral students present.”

Upon hearing this, Raven’s smile deepened, and her confidence grew. She was about to speak when Nolan let go of the mouse, his gaze shifting from the computer as he asked, “Is this what you completed this year?”

Raven answered, “Yes.”

“Nothing else?”

Raven hesitated, unsure of whether he was satisfied with her work and expecting more highlights, or whether he wasn’t satisfied but still wanted to give her a chance.

However, she knew she had consistently ranked at the top of her class, received numerous awards, and her doctoral advisor was highly praised.

Her advisor was a significant figure in A Country’s aerospace program, having participated in several space missions. The praise she received from her advisor carried considerable weight!

So, she had ample confidence in her expertise.

With that thought, her mind settled, and she said, “I conducted a technical analysis of the exhibits from the last technology exhibition. Would you like to hear it?”

“Go ahead.”

Raven then began to explain the technical details of an autonomous car exhibited at the previous exhibition, focusing on its core aspects of perception, planning, and control.

She spoke continuously for over ten minutes, during which Matteo returned briefly to take another important phone call.

As Raven was about to continue her explanation, Nolan suddenly looked up and said, “That’s enough.”

Raven paused.

Nolan stood up and gave his final evaluation: “Your fundamental knowledge is fairly solid, but it’s not quite up to my standards for accepting students.”

Raven froze for a moment, then bit her lip.

This wasn’t the answer she had hoped for.

Nolan moved toward the door, about to leave, when Raven quickly stepped forward and asked, “Mr. Nolan, what do you think I should do to improve?”

Nolan paused for a moment, then coldly replied, “Do more research, and pay more attention to new developments

in the field.”

“You really are quite capable,” Matteo said. “I think his advice is very reasonatitle”

Raven paused.

She realized that she had indeed been slacking off in terms of profesional kuumieige and hatut been keeping up with new developments in the field.

Nolan must have noticed that she hadn’t been putting enough effort or fors fano ker suties, and felt that her attitude toward her profession wasn’t serious enough Perhaps that’s why he decided not to take her on as a mufent

Thinking that it wasn’t a question of her ability but rather her attitude towards the profession, Raven’s mood lightened a lot.

Matteo said, “You can try again next time.”

Raven smiled. “I will.”

She believed that as long as she corrected her attitude, with her professional skills, it wouldn’t be difficult to pass Nolan’s standards next time.
