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

Chapter 10 Letting go
At half past six in the morning, the sun had not yet risen completely. The entire Taohuawu was like a sleepy beauty, still immersed in a sweet dream, gently embraced by a layer of light mist.

Jiang Qing's biological clock forced him to wake up from his sleep. He sat up and shook his head. After he woke up a little, he got out of bed and started washing up.

He was not satisfied with Thirteen's answer yesterday and discussed with it for a long time about how to respect the master.

After quickly washing up, Jiang Qing methodically changed into a light and breathable short-sleeved T-shirt and trousers, put on a smart watch for timing, and walked out of the room to start his morning jogging journey.

After walking out of Room 8, he ran at a steady pace along the winding path along the edge of Taohuawu.

The breeze blows by, bringing with it the unique fresh scent of the morning, mixed with the fragrance of flowers and plants, which is refreshing.

Jiang Qing's steps were steady and powerful, each step was firm and even, as rhythmic as a drumbeat.

After one lap, his forehead was slightly sweaty, but his breathing was only slightly rapid.

After finishing his morning run, Jiang Qing returned to Room 8. The golden sunlight shone on him through the window glass, outlining his well-defined muscles through his sweat-soaked white T-shirt. His muscles were not as exaggerated as those of a bodybuilding coach, but he faintly exuded a sense of strength.

Seeing that no one had gotten up yet, Jiang Qing decided to make breakfast for himself.

When Jiang Qing walked into the kitchen, he found that the refrigerator was empty, without even a trace of the smell of home. There were also no ingredients in the huge cupboard. The deserted scene made him shake his head helplessly.

"Brother Zhang, where can I buy ingredients?"

Jiang Qing looked up at Zhang Long, who had run a lap with him and was still panting and filming.

"There's a supermarket outside prepared by the production team, but there might not be anyone there at this time."

Zhang Long calmed his breathing and responded.

Looking at Jiang Qing who looked relaxed in front of him, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Are the physical fitness of young people so good nowadays?
"Then please tell the staff, Brother Zhang, I need to go shopping."

After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Qing decided to go to the program team's supermarket to buy some things.

After receiving the confirmation reply, Jiang Qing went out again and came to the supermarket under the guidance of Zhang Long.

When they arrived, staff were already present.

In the supermarket, Jiang Qing picked out eggs, bought milk, and also picked up some daily ingredients.

Soon, he returned with a full load.

When he returned to Room 8, seeing that no one had gotten up yet, Jiang Qing started to make breakfast for himself.

Two poached eggs and a cup of hot milk make a simple breakfast.

While eating breakfast, Jiang Qing habitually opened his mobile phone to read the morning news and began his leisurely breakfast time.

On the other side, the director team was gathering in a room for a morning meeting.

The main person in charge was Ike Hara, the chief director and producer, assisted by Xie Dikui, the chief screenwriter Zhou Chunan, and a group of directors, photographers, post-production team leaders, etc., who sat around the long table. Some staff members had no place to sit, so they stood against the wall with their notebooks in their hands.

More than 20 people were crammed into a space of about 40 square meters.

"Director, I think it was a bit inappropriate for Jiang Qing to directly state the reason for joining the show yesterday. Should we cut that part?"

After a few topics were discussed, a female director raised her hand and made a suggestion.

"I think it's okay. Many viewers like to watch guests who like to speak the truth."

Another staff member objected.

"But Jiang Qing also rejected the script we arranged for him on the show and refused to accept our character creation for him. This is an uncontrollable time bomb."

"My suggestion is to give him fewer shots and share his shots with others."

Seeing some objections, the female director continued to list Jiang Qing's problems and offered suggestions. "I think Jiang Qing's behavior is actually a highlight. When everyone else is obeying Teacher Song Dandan, he responded differently and remained polite."

"He's not from our circle, and he's a young PhD student. USTC is a prestigious university, so his words and actions are consistent with his status, and this reaction feels more authentic."

At this time, another staff member spoke up to argue.

"But if he later on..."

"dong dong"

The female director wanted to continue to refute, but was interrupted by a sudden sound. Turning around, she saw the chief director Ikehara tapping the table with his hands, staring at her.

"Stop arguing, let me say a few words."

After noticing that everyone was looking at him, Ikehara spoke.

Then the whole room quickly became quiet.

"Jiang Qing was recommended by Director Yang. Everyone here has seen his resume, which is quite impressive."

"Ever since our Penguin-produced Heartbeat series went online, many viewers have been interested in handsome academic masters like Jiang Qing, and there is a considerable audience group."

"Another point, you have to understand. Director Yang went to great lengths to invite them to participate in the program. It's not that he personally values ​​our program that much."

"Just like Dr. Jiang said, he's just here for a vacation. Even if we deliberately reduce his footage, he won't care."

"The audience isn't stupid. What if after the show airs, the audience likes Jiang Qing's casual performance, but then finds out that he has fewer shots and starts making a fuss?"

"Who among you is responsible for reducing his footage?"

"That's it for now. Reality shows are all about us providing them with a simple script."

"What kind of persona you want to establish and how you want to present yourself is entirely up to you."

"Perhaps, Jiang Qing's performance may cause unexpected effects."

Looking around at everyone present, Ikehara expressed his thoughts.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the others naturally stopped objecting and nodded in agreement.

The meeting then continued and was announced to be over after about half an hour, and everyone left.

After a while, only Chi Yuan, Xie Dikui and Zhou Chunan were left in the room.

"Director Chi, are we really just going to leave Jiang Qing alone?"

After seeing the door closed, Zhou Chunan looked at Chi Yuan and asked.

"There's an uncertain factor that might produce unexpected results. Let's wait and see."

Ikehara thought of Director Yang's father, who was a senior executive of the head office, and responded casually.

Anyway, with so many guests, he didn't think one person could have much influence, but he had to give face to Director Yang.

As for Jiang Qing, what's there to care about with a good-looking doctor?
"Ok."

After hearing what Chi Yuan said, Zhou Chunan and Xie Dikui beside him looked at each other and said no more.

At the same time, after breakfast, Jiang Qing returned to his room to check the progress of recent projects. He stopped only after receiving a message from Wang Sulong. Then he simply tidied up his desk and got up to go out.

He's going to an appointment.
