Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

Jiang Nian looked into Ling's eyes, which were filled with pure longing, and her heart stirred slightly.

His words, though seemingly simple, always carried a sense of dread.

If I didn't know he was simple-minded, I would really be afraid that he would be a terrifying killing machine.

No wonder the lab always sends him over to keep an eye on things.

Because Zero really needs his intervention.

He softened his tone, as if guiding a child who was truly curious about the world:
"The meaning of strength is not the increase of one's own power, but the power that comes from protection, protecting the people you love."

Jiang Nian felt that what he said was somewhat hypocritical, but it was indeed the most suitable development direction for Zero.

He absolutely cannot go down the path of war.

Ling seemed to understand, but was puzzled as she tried to think through Jiang Nian's words: "Protecting Father, and Professor Li, Dr. Wang, and the others? And those who won't hurt me?"

"Yes."

Jiang Nian nodded affirmatively, feeling somewhat gratified.

Zero does not mean there is no sense of right and wrong, but rather that there is a need for guidance.

"Discerning who deserves protection is itself a skill that needs to be learned."

In the following time, Jiang Nian continued to discuss with Ling what behaviors are good and what behaviors might harm others.

This was also his main purpose in coming to the laboratory.

In this way, they can make Zero their most suitable ally, thus avoiding the influence of subsequent organizations.

Ling listened with utmost concentration, occasionally asking some naive yet insightful questions.

His learning ability and speed of comprehension secretly alarmed the experts in the observation room.

I never expected him to be so capable.

What surprised them even more was that, under Jiang Nian's guidance, Zero's own energy fluctuations remained at an exceptionally stable and gentle level.

It was even more stable than in any of their guided experiments.

It's clear that Ling has a lot of trust in Jiang Nian.

The 30-minute meeting time was up quickly.

"Father, will you come to see me again next time?"

Before leaving, Zero pressed herself against the glass, reluctant to part.

"Yes, as long as you cooperate well with the professors and doctoral students," Jiang Nian promised.

He knew that Zero couldn't completely get rid of him yet, and for safety reasons, he also had to come and check the experimental data.

"I will!"

Ling nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with anticipation.

After the meeting, Jiang Nian walked out of the observation room.

Bai Yongxu and the two experts immediately came forward.

"Incredible!"

Dr. Wang looked at the data report in his hand, his tone filled with amazement.

“During the entire period just now, the energy resonance coefficient of zero remained stable! There was not a single fluctuation.”

"Consultant Jiang, your very existence is the best stabilizer and guide for him."

These researchers work day and night on various scientific research findings.

This was solely to improve communication with Zero and prevent him from going down a dangerous path.

Professor Li nodded in agreement, saying, "From what I can see, his trust in you is absolute. This kind of guidance based on emotional connection is more effective than any of our pre-set programmed plans."

Bai Yongxu patted Jiang Nian on the shoulder, everything was understood without words.

Zero has always been a difficult hurdle for them to overcome, and the system puts them at a certain level of vigilance.

Only Jiang Nian was different.

He is the key to unlocking everything, and the only one who can control Zero!

He knew that Jiang Nian had once again taken on an unexpected and heavy responsibility, and had done it even better than he had imagined.

After leaving Xuanwu Base, Jiang Nian returned directly to the city center.

During this period, he focused more on the post-production follow-up of "iPartment" and also began preparing for the launch ceremony of Xingcheng TV.

Wei Zheng would communicate with him almost every day about the progress.

From editing rhythm and special effects to dubbing and mixing, nothing is too small.

Although Jiang Nian doesn't directly get involved in the specific technology, he always manages to offer insightful opinions from the perspective of audience experience and comedic effect.

This is also why Wei Zheng was happy to come and find him.

In the past, Wei Zheng wouldn't have done it so frequently.

However, the explosive popularity of Love Apartment on the internet gave him a sense of crisis.

He was a perfectionist by nature.

I also know how dangerous it would be if public opinion reversed online if I couldn't handle the situation.

Therefore, he needs professionals to help him make the right decisions.

Jiang Nian is the most suitable candidate.

"Teacher Jiang, the opening theme song is decided!"

Two weeks later, Wei Zheng called excitedly.

"Following your directions, we found a young, independent band whose work is energetic and catchy."

"Moreover, the main creators themselves are fans of 'iPartment Diary,' and their understanding of the show's style is particularly insightful! I've sent you a sample to your email; please listen to it!"

Wei Zheng was somewhat agitated; not long ago, he had been feeling rather troubled.

But things are different now, and the final problem has finally been solved.

Jiang Nian opened her email, and a dynamic and youthful melody began to play.

Although the lyrics and choreography details are slightly different from my memories of my past life, the joyful, quirky yet heartwarming spirit is still very similar.

The hit song is finally online.

"Great, let's use this one."

Jiang Nian affirmed.

The soul of this drama is being perfectly reproduced little by little.

The version Wei Zheng provided him was almost identical to the one from his previous life, and he began to look forward to seeing just how much of a stir Love Apartment would cause online.

At the same time, Xingcheng TV and Guangmang Video also launched their publicity campaigns.

Teaser trailers, character posters, behind-the-scenes footage... wave after wave of materials have been released, continuously igniting online anticipation.

Everyone was already very interested in this, and now we can finally see the finished product.

"It's here! After waiting for so long, we can finally see the final product!"

"Is this line going to work or not? It's been hyped up online for so long, I hope it won't end up being a bad show."

"It shouldn't be that bad. It's said to be a very creative work, and with Jiang Nian overseeing it, it's unlikely to be terrible!"

At the same time, the lead actors also ushered in the first peak of their careers.

Various variety show invitations and commercial endorsements poured in.

Tang Youyou sent a message to Jiang Nian, her tone both excited and apprehensive: "Teacher Jiang, I'm suddenly getting so many job offers, I'm a little overwhelmed... I'm afraid I won't do them well."

Although she already had a certain degree of fame before.

They're much better than the newcomers, but seeing so many invitations still catches them off guard.

Is this the kind of treatment a second-tier celebrity like her should receive?
Jiang Nian remained calm and composed: "Don't worry, you're good enough for her."

Not just Tang Youyou, but he knew that every actor in the Love Apartment cast of his past life had top-notch acting skills. They all deserved this honor!
The day of the grand opening ceremony has finally arrived.

That evening, the Xingcheng TV studio was brightly lit and filled with stars.

The audience was filled with media reporters, lucky audience members, and industry guests.

Exciting clips from the sitcom "iPartment" played on the giant screen, eliciting bursts of laughter.

As one of the most anticipated TV dramas right now, their production is truly impressive.

They even specifically allocated prime-time slots to them.

Jiang Nian met Yang Mi, who was dressed to the nines, in the backstage dressing room.

She looked radiant in an elegant yet playful dress.

Normally, Yang Mi wouldn't need to come to this stage, since she's just a guest star.

However, she had a good relationship with Wei Zheng and the others when she made a cameo appearance before, so she's coming back now to help them gain some recognition.

"It's rare to see you attend an event so formally."

Yang Mi looked at Jiang Nian, who had changed into a simple, fitted suit, and a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes. She smiled and teased him.

At this moment, Jiang Nian had concealed all his sharpness, yet he possessed a calm and composed demeanor that made him impossible to ignore.

However, they were not impolite people; they knew they weren't the main characters this time.

Therefore, the clothes they wear are not so flamboyant, but rather more low-key and composed.

We can't let Wei Zheng and his team steal the spotlight.

"Since it's an important moment, we must take it seriously."

Jiang Nian smiled slightly.

Wei Zheng and the lead actors were also backstage, each one both nervous and excited.

Hu Yifei, unusually wearing a dress, awkwardly tugged at the hem of her skirt.

Zeng Xiaoxian kept adjusting his bow tie in front of the mirror, muttering to himself.

Everyone here is a newcomer, and it's their first time in this kind of setting.

Being timid is normal.

Seeing Jiang Nian enter, everyone seemed to have found their pillar of support and immediately surrounded him.

"Teacher Jiang, I'm so nervous!" Chen Meijia clutched her chest. "There are so many people down there!"

"Keep a calm mind." Jiang Nian's gaze swept over everyone, his tone calm yet firm. "Remember, you are here to share your heartfelt creations and your joy."

"Besides, everyone has already recognized your work and acting skills, so what are you still worried about?"

Jiang Nian helped them relax.

The grand ceremony has officially begun.

Amid the host's introduction and enthusiastic applause from the audience, director Wei Zheng led the seven main actors of "iPartment" onto the stage.

Under the spotlight, these young people shone brightly, instantly igniting the atmosphere.

All the spectators also cheered.

I'd only ever seen them in live streams before; this is the first time I've seen them in person.

Next, Yang Mi appeared as a special guest, bringing the atmosphere to a small climax.

She shared anecdotes from her cameo appearance and praised the atmosphere on set and the professionalism of the actors, eliciting screams from the fans in the audience.

"...And speaking of this drama, we have to mention a very special person."

Yang Mi changed the subject, turning her gaze to the backstage entrance, her voice filled with sincere respect.

"He was the first to discover the potential of this project and provided unreserved support during the most difficult times. He is also a pillar of strength for all of us in the creative team."

"Let's give a warm round of applause to welcome Mr. Jiang Nian, the honorary advisor of 'iPartment'!"

The audience erupted in applause, filled with curiosity and anticipation.

The name Jiang Nian, along with the various legendary stories of "iPartment," has long been shrouded in mystery on the internet.

Jiang Nian slowly walked onto the stage under the spotlight.

"It's Jiang Nian! It really is Jiang Nian! He's really here!"

"I was surprised when I heard Jiang Nian would be here, but I didn't expect him to actually come!"

"It's a pity Jiang Nian didn't have a cameo role in the show, otherwise the three fans would be overjoyed. With his acting skills, it's such a shame he doesn't have a role!"

Jiang Nian didn't exchange many pleasantries. He took the microphone and glanced at the audience:

"I'm very happy to stand here and witness the launch of 'iPartment' with everyone."

"When I first saw this script and met director Wei Zheng and this group of young actors, what I saw was pure creative passion and the genuine vitality of young people."

"I believe that what moves me will also move the audience."

"iPartment is not just a comedy; it's more like a heartwarming story about youth, friendship, and finding a sense of belonging in the city. It has laughter and tears, the troubles of growing up, and the simplest joys."

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

There were no lengthy speeches; the words were concise yet sincere and powerful.

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause once again.

Following this, under the guidance of the host, Jiang Nian and Yang Mi had a relaxed and enjoyable interaction with the lead actors.

Although Jiang Nian doesn't talk much, every time he does, it always brings laughter.

The natural rapport he shared with the actors was also conveyed to all viewers through the camera.

The launch ceremony was a complete success.

That evening, the first two episodes of the first season of "iPartment" premiered simultaneously on Xingcheng TV and Guangmang Video.

The viewership ratings and online views skyrocketed!
Almost without any suspense, Love Apartment topped the trending search list with overwhelming force.

"I'm dying of laughter! Zeng Xiaoxian is so cheeky yet so adorable!"

"Hu Yifei is so handsome! My Queen!"

"Lu Ziqiao is a complete maverick when it comes to flirting!"

"Chen Meijia is so cute I could cry! Tang Youyou's acting is amazing!"

"Guan Gu's amazing accent, hahaha! Poor Zhang Wei!"

"The plot is so fast-paced, and the jokes are frequent yet not awkward. It's been a long time since I've seen such a great show to watch while eating!"

"Is this the drama that Jiang Nian has been watching? It's really addictive! Once you start watching, you can't stop!"

The film received rave reviews online, and various memes and screenshots of classic lines spread rapidly like wildfire.

Love Apartment became a phenomenon overnight, attracting nationwide attention.

The number of social media followers of all the main creators, including Wei Zheng, Hu Yifei, and Zeng Xiaoxian, has grown exponentially.

Their phones were ringing off the hook, and they received a flood of congratulatory messages.

True success has arrived.

Jiang Nian sat on the sofa in the villa.

Looking at the overwhelming praise online, seeing Wei Zheng's excited, incoherent voice message, and the ecstatic expressions of the lead actors flooding the group chat.

A genuine smile slowly crept onto his lips.

This group of people really did it!

He knows that there is still a long way to go.

There will be a sequel to "iPartment", and the main actors will face new challenges and opportunities.

But at this moment, enjoying this joy and success is enough.

He picked up his phone and replied in the "iPartment" cast group chat:
"Congratulations everyone, you deserve all of this. Let's continue walking together on the road ahead." (End of Chapter)
