Huayu 2021: Isn’t he in the technology field?

Chapter 1: First Deviation

"I dont go."

"Why? You're free anyway, so wouldn't it be nice to participate in a variety show to kill some time?"

"Why would I choose to be surrounded by cameras when there are so many other fun things to do?"

"I'm not interested. Go find someone else. I'm not suitable for variety shows."

"What's not suitable? I think you are very suitable!"

"Ah……"

"Old Jiang, don't smile at me. If you smile, I'll be reminded of the unbearable past when you dominated me in college!"

"Wei Ge, since you already remember everything, there's no need to waste any more words."

"I repeat! Don't call me Viagra! Please call me by my English name, Tom!"

"Oh, Wei Ge, let me reiterate, I will not agree to this."

"Oh my god...!"

Yang Wei looked at Jiang Qing who was calm and composed opposite him, and with his hands on the table, he felt so angry that his teeth were itching, but he didn't dare to say anything harsh.

During those years in college, he had always lived in Jiang Qing's shadow!
He is obviously older and Jiang Qing is the youngest in their dormitory, but he has always been acting as the leader.

There's nothing I can do about it, he's so good at everything.

"Okay, Wei Ge, I know you're anxious, but don't worry, let's talk calmly."

"I don't mind you tricking me into coming to Beijing this time. As long as you don't mention the variety show again, we can just treat it as a get-together today. I'll rest in Beijing for one night and return to Luyang early tomorrow morning."

"How about it?"

Jiang Qing looked at Yang Wei, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and spoke slowly with a leisurely smile on his face.

"Old Jiang~"

"Brother Qing~"

"Can I call you brother?"

"Just give me a hand, ok?"

"This project is related to whether I can continue to live a life of idleness and wait for death in Penguin. You can't just stand by and watch me die!"

"My brother Qing~"

Yang Wei leaned over and grabbed Jiang Qing's right hand on the table, crying and sobbing.

He was already thin, and his eye sockets were sunken due to staying up late. His current appearance was very consistent with his name.

Jiang Qing frowned, pulled his hand out forcefully, his face full of disgust.

"This is a public place, please pay attention to your image."

"And I've told you many times that even though I'm handsome, you shouldn't have any ideas about me."

"I'm not gay!"

Jiang Qing glanced at the guests around who were looking over and warned in a low voice.

This is the Starbucks next to the hotel where he stayed. It is two o'clock in the afternoon and it is very crowded.

There are nearly 30 people in the store which is less than 100 square meters, which is considered a relatively large flow of customers after the epidemic.

In the past two years, with the rise of Little Blue Deer and the impact of the epidemic, Starbucks has closed hundreds of stores in China and its influence is far less than before.

After Yang Wei made such a commotion, many people looked at them with strange eyes.

wrong……

Girls over there, what's the meaning of you smiling while holding your phones?
I'm glaring at you, and you're still taking pictures!

"Only a fool would think of you, but I'm a real man!"

"Your feelings have faded! You wouldn't even bother asking me for a favor. Have you forgotten all the bad relationships I helped you avoid back in school?"

"How can you stay in the lab so peacefully without me?"

"Who brings you food every few days?"

"I often sign for you..."

Yang Wei began to recount all the old events from college one by one, his expression filled with grief.

"Stop."

Jiang Qing raised his hand calmly and said slowly, "You helped me block those bad peach blossoms, but it seems you also benefited a lot, right?"

"Have you ever lacked a girlfriend during your four years in college?"

"It's true that you send me food every few days, but everyone knows that you have bad intentions towards Senior Sister Li Ziwei from our laboratory."

"Besides, you always buy double. Isn't that a loss for you?"

"besides……"

Jiang Qing's rebuttals one after another made Yang Wei's tearful expression gradually fade away, and his head lowered lower and lower, almost buried under the table.

"Alright, alright, why bring up the past?"

"Just tell me whether you will help me or not!"

"I'm counting on you anyway!"

Yang Wei interrupted Jiang Qing before he finished speaking, looking like a rogue.

"Isn't uncle a Penguin executive?"

"You didn't want to continue your postgraduate studies because you wanted to come back and just eat and wait for death. Why are you so enthusiastic now?"

Jiang Qing picked up the warm latte beside her and took a sip, looking at him curiously.

"Don't mention it. I'd like to keep playing badly, but my grandfather doesn't want me to. He says, 'How can a university graduate like me just sit around and wait for death?'"

"He previously assigned me to the technical department of Penguin Video, but I found it too tiring, so I transferred to the variety show department to just do some supporting work."

"It was fine at first, but as the years went by and I gained more experience, the old man used his connections to get me promoted to Director of Production Management."

"Not long ago, my boss asked me to participate in the new variety show Taohuawu. The old man gave me a strict order, saying that Mr. Sun above is very concerned about this project. I don't want to continue to live a life of idleness and wait for death. This show must be done well."

"Now the other leaders have recommended their own candidates, and I am the only one who has not made any moves yet."

"I don't interact with many people in the circle, so this is why I think of you."

"My brother Qing!"

After explaining the whole story, Yang Wei threw Jiang Qing a flattering glance.

"Hold it back, I'm afraid of vomiting."

"I don't quite understand. Since this is a variety show, you should go find those celebrities. Why are you looking for me?"

Jiang Qing looked at him with a puzzled expression, his fingertips habitually tapping on the table. Before his reincarnation, he hadn't paid much attention to the entertainment industry, let alone variety shows. His impression of the Spring Festival Gala still lingered on the days when Uncle Benshan was on.

"This variety show is a little different from previous ones. It's not limited to celebrities in the entertainment industry. Currently, we've invited guests like Su Mang from the fashion industry, artist Chen Chenchen, and designer Ou Ou."

"The goal is to bring people from different fields together and create new sparks."

"Otherwise, why would I think of you, my brother Qing!"

When Yang Wei heard that Jiang Qing was a little curious, he quickly explained.

"The careers of the people you mentioned are all more or less related to the entertainment industry. I deal with data and code all day long, so I have nothing in the world of entertainment."

Jiang Qing shook his head and laughed, thinking that Yang Wei was really incomprehensible.

Yang Wei immediately became anxious when he heard this, and moved closer to him with his hands on the table.

"Brother Qing, you've been busy with your work these past few years, paying no attention to the outside world at all."

"We have a show on Penguin called Heart-Stirring Offer, which is a showcase for elite students from various universities. It's been very popular and has been running for several seasons."

"Everyone's really interested in this kind of academically gifted and good-looking amateur these days. I've shown your resume and photos to the rest of the production team, and everyone agrees that you're very qualified. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to lie... ahem... please come over here!"

Yang Wei almost told the truth, but quickly changed his words.

Jiang Qing glanced at him with a smile, but didn't care.

"I'm not interested in variety shows, and I don't like having my every move scrutinized."

Without thinking too much, Jiang Qing rejected him again.

"you……!"

Yang Wei widened his eyes, and was at a loss for words when he saw Jiang Qing, who was unmoved.

At this moment, a light bulb suddenly flashed in his mind and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Brother Qing, you played an indispensable role in the fact that the third generation of our HKUST's "Jia Jia" caused a sensation in the industry."

"Now many people in the industry think that you have entered retirement early, but from what I know about you, you will never just sit back and relax like this."

"You are Jiang Qing!"

"You should be busy with the thing you told us about before, right?"

"Ok?"

Yang Wei raised his eyebrows at him, a sly smile in his eyes.

Jiang Qing pursed her lips and looked up at him silently.

This kid really knows him well enough.

"Old Four, look!"

"We have the big name in sketch comedy, Song Dandan, on our show."

"There are also veteran actors like Shu Qi and Zhou Jie."

"There are also singers like Wang Sulong and artists like Chen Chenchen."

"By the way, there are also young actresses. Who knows, maybe you can... hehe..."

"Ahem... stop glaring at me and get back to the topic!"

"Anyway, being able to interact with so many people from different fields might actually be helpful for the research you're doing."

"From what I understand, its growth requires more than just computing power and data."

"Furthermore, since college, you've been non-stop, starting your own business, preparing for graduate school, and then taking the doctoral exam. I know you're almost in a semi-retired state now, spending all your time and energy on your research. Perhaps you could stop and take in the scenery along the way. You might find something unexpected."

"The setting of our variety show is very novel. Who knows, you might find new fun in it."

Yang Wei spitted everywhere and kept on coaxing him.

Unconsciously, the way he addressed Jiang Qing had changed from "Brother Qing" to "Old Jiang".

"But the company..."

Jiang Qing frowned slightly, with a look of confusion on his face.

Although he knew that Yang Wei said so much just to get himself on his variety show, when he thought about his research bottleneck, he suddenly felt that what Yang Wei said made sense.

It wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

"Aren't Zhao Quan and Zhang Bin watching over the company? Besides, how many times a month can you go to the company now?"

"Can……"

"Hey, Old Jiang, this show won't take more than a month to record. Just treat it as a vacation. You might even get something unexpected, and you can help your buddies along the way. It's a win-win situation, killing three birds with one stone. Why not?"

Yang Wei raised three fingers and said expectantly.

"Less than a month?"

"Yeah!"

Hearing the relaxation in Jiang Qing's tone, Yang Wei nodded rapidly, his eyes unable to conceal the excitement.

"Sure?"

Jiang Qing pointed a finger at him and confirmed again.

"That's right!"

Yang Wei promised firmly.

"Okay, I promise you."

Jiang Qing finally gave in and made the first decision to deviate from the plan since his rebirth.

"Old Jiang! I knew you wouldn't ignore me!"

"Tonight, I'll take you on a wonderful tour of the Forbidden City! Eat, drink, and have fun!"

Seeing Jiang Qing finally relent, Yang Wei slapped his thigh and said excitedly.

"You tricked me into coming to this variety show this time, so you're going to have to pay for it today."

Jiang Qianli glared at him and said unhappily.

“It’s packed!”

Yang Wei patted his chest and promised.

Seeing this, Jiang Qing smiled and turned to look at the sparse pedestrians outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

I figured since it was less than a month, I might as well just treat it as a vacation.

Entertainment?
How can the code be interesting?
