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

Chapter 265 True Understanding

Another week has passed in the blink of an eye.

In late December, the air in Luyang was bitterly cold. Withered yellow sycamore leaves swirled and fell to the ground, only to be swept up and tossed aside by the howling north wind.

As dawn broke, the Lighter film crew's bus and equipment vehicles drove into the Wuwen Technology Park in a grand procession, slowly stopping in front of the main building.

"My God! This...this is Mr. Jiang's company?"

Zhao Zhiwei was the first to jump off the bus, wrapped his down jacket tighter around himself, and looked up at the huge butterfly-shaped building in front of him, his mouth agape as if he could fit an egg in it.

He subconsciously swallowed the word "倾" and changed it to "总", as if this way of addressing it would be more in line with the architecture in front of him.

The cold morning light outlined the futuristic streamlined silhouette of the Wuwen Technology Building. The huge diamond-shaped glass curtain wall reflected the cool daylight, and the four large characters "Wuwen Technology" on the top shone brightly in the morning light, giving off an invisible sense of oppression.

Zeng Keni followed closely behind, and upon seeing this, her eyes widened in shock, and she gasped.

Wow...this is so sci-fi! It feels like stepping into a movie!

She subconsciously rubbed her hands together, and the white breath she exhaled quickly dissipated in the cold air.

Cui Yuxin and Qian Didi also squeezed to the front. Cui Yuxin pointed to the Wuwen Building's highly designed exterior and exclaimed in amazement.

"I saw it in short videos before, but I never imagined it would look so amazing in person! How much did this building cost?"

"Money? The key is the design, the grandeur..."

Qian Didi shook her head, her eyes filled with shock.

"Jiang Qing, who usually eats boxed lunches with us on set, goes over lines with us, and seems so easy to talk to... is the owner of this place? The contrast is too surreal!"

Her words expressed the sentiments of everyone on the crew.

The usually low-key, easy-going, and unpretentious Jiang Qing was now revealing his identity and background in a very impactful way, the sense of reality was too strong.

If the film crew hadn't used his company's location for filming, they probably wouldn't have experienced this strange contrast at all.

Zhang Jingyi was the last to get off the bus. She was wrapped in a thick, long white down jacket and had a soft, off-white scarf around her neck, revealing only her bright eyes.

This wasn't her first time here, but standing before this building that seemed to come from the future again, the feeling of amazement mixed with a touch of pride was still fresh and intense.

She looked up at the building, her clear, bright eyes reflecting the shimmering light of the glass curtain wall, and a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

This place was created by Jiang Qing!

Just then, the revolving glass door slid open silently.

Jiang Qing appeared at the doorway.

Today he wore a well-tailored dark gray cashmere coat over a simple black turtleneck sweater, which made his figure appear even more upright.

What's striking is his extremely short buzz cut, which looks particularly rugged and neat in the cold air. Paired with his deep-set features and calm eyes, he exudes a composed and powerful aura.

This image almost perfectly matches Li Xun's powerful aura later in the script.

Upon seeing everyone, he immediately put on a warm smile and greeted them loudly in the direction of the bus.

"Welcome to Wuwen Technology."

The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly pierced through the morning chill.

Zhao Zhiwei was the first to react and exaggeratedly jogged over.

"Oh, Mr. Jiang! Boss Jiang! This place of yours... is amazing! Please don't take it to heart if I was a little disrespectful to you before!"

He excitedly wanted to pat Jiang Qing on the shoulder, but halfway through his outstretched hand, he felt it wasn't quite right. Instead, he rubbed his hands together, his expression a mixture of excitement and slight restraint.

Zeng Keni and the others quickly surrounded them, chattering away.

"Teacher Jiang! This building is so cool!"

"We can really film here? That's fantastic!"

"It feels like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden!"

……

Jiang Qing smiled and waved her hand, her tone still amiable.

"Don't be so polite, it's cold outside, everyone please come in."

He stepped aside, his gaze naturally sweeping over the crowd and landing on Zhang Jingyi, who was standing a little behind him.

Their eyes met briefly in the air.

Jiang Qing's eyes held a questioning smile, as if to say, "How does it feel to do it again?"

Zhang Jingyi smiled, wrinkled her nose playfully at him, and mouthed a silent response.

"Can I say something bad?"

Then he couldn't help but laugh, his bright eyes filled with genuine admiration.

Jiang Qing's eyes were filled with a smile, and she nodded to her almost imperceptibly.

Filled with amazement and curiosity, the group followed Jiang Qing into the building.

A warm atmosphere instantly enveloped their bodies, a stark contrast to the frigid outside. The bright, spacious, and incredibly high-ceilinged lobby once again drew gasps of amazement from the crowd.

Wow! This floor... it lights up when you step on it?

Zeng Keni looked in amazement at the smooth, mirror-like floor tiles beneath her feet, which clearly reflected her image.

"The temperature is just right, it feels so comfortable!"

Qian Didi clicked her tongue and sighed.

Several young stagehands couldn't resist taking out their phones to secretly take pictures.

Chen Duo immediately stepped forward, smiling as he guided the group.

"Please follow me, everyone. The filming area is on the third floor, and it has been reserved. This is the elevator."

Everyone nodded nervously in agreement and followed him toward the elevator area.

While waiting, a slight buzzing sound came from above.

Everyone looked up and followed the sound, and saw several sleek drones, resembling silver birds, gliding smoothly along their designated aerial tracks, carrying out patrol or transporting small items.

"Those are our logistics drones, responsible for the rapid delivery of small items inside the building."

Chen Duo explained with a smile.

Cui Yuxin couldn't resist waving at one of the machines.

"Hey, brother!"

The drone didn't react at all and glided away smoothly, eliciting a burst of good-natured laughter from the crowd.

The elevator doors opened, revealing a spacious interior with spotless mirrored walls.

Everyone filed in, and the elevator ascended smoothly.

Through the transparent walls of the elevator car, people can clearly see the internal structure of the building.

In the open-plan office area, young employees dressed in comfortable casual clothes sit at stylish workstations, with complex code and data streams scrolling across huge curved screens.

The rest area is surrounded by greenery, with some people sitting in egg-shaped chairs with their eyes closed to rest, or sipping coffee and having quiet discussions.

There were even figures riding balance bikes, carrying documents, quickly shuttling between different areas.

"It doesn't feel like going to work, it feels like living in some kind of futuristic technology exhibition hall."

Zhao Zhiwei muttered to himself unconsciously, his eyes filled with amazement.

Zeng Keni noticed the curious looks from the employees.

"Teacher Jiang, your employees are all looking at us!"

Jiang Qing smiled.

"Young people are naturally curious, so we don't need to worry about them."

Everyone nodded in understanding.

Being there, they couldn't help but become reserved, finally truly feeling the insurmountable chasm between Jiang Qing and them.

The elevator arrived at the third floor.

The corridor design is also futuristic, with soft linear lighting guiding the way.

The wall is a huge flexible screen, currently displaying Wuwen Technology's groundbreaking achievements in the field of artificial intelligence. The flowing light and shadow and dynamic images are visually striking.

The filming area had been set up in advance.

This was originally a multi-functional conference hall with ample space.

The unique technological elements of Wuwen Technology, such as the smart control panel embedded in the wall and the streamlined ventilation design, have been retained, which perfectly matches the futuristic setting of "LP Company" in the drama.

Liu Junjie, along with the director of photography and other key members of the production team, quickly got to work, directing the lighting and setting up the equipment. The other crew members also began to get busy.

The employees of Wuwen Technology were clearly curious about the film crew that had intruded into their daily lives.

A large number of people quickly gathered in the open office area and corridors surrounding the filming area.

They stood or sat, watching the busy film crew from afar, occasionally whispering among themselves, their faces filled with excitement and curiosity.

Some people recognized Zhao Zhiwei and Zeng Keni, while others pointed at Zhang Jingyi and Jiang Qing and whispered excitedly.

Although everyone maintained a polite distance, the inquisitive and curious gazes still enveloped the entire filming set in a special atmosphere.

"It feels like being watched in a zoo."

Cui Yuxin whispered to Zhao Zhiwei, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Ma Ke, on the other hand, seemed quite pleased.

"Come on, people are watching the celebrities, we're at most... well, the celebrities' followers."

He deliberately puffed out his chest.

Zhang Jingyi sat on her chair, while Fangfang helped her with her hair and makeup. She felt their gazes and subconsciously looked up, only to meet Jiang Qing's eyes again.

He was discussing a scene setup with Liu Junjie, his expression focused, but he seemed to always sense her gaze. When she looked over, he would naturally look back at her, his eyes asking if she was comfortable.

Zhang Jingyi gently shook her head at him, indicating that she was fine, with a smile on her lips.

Jiang Qing nodded knowingly and continued talking to Liu Junjie.

This silent, tacit understanding was something only they themselves knew in the chaotic film set.

Twenty minutes later, filming officially began.

During breaks in filming, Zhao Zhiwei and the others completely let loose.

"No way, I have to check this out! This background is amazing!"

Zhao Zhiwei pulled Zeng Keni along and found an angle where they could see the park view through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, then asked his assistant to take a picture.

He struck an exaggerated "pointing out the country" pose, while Zeng Keni made a cute peace sign.

"Post on Weibo! I absolutely have to!"

After taking the photo, Zhao Zhiwei immediately took out his phone.

Cui Yuxin showed great interest in the smart coffee machine in the rest area that could automatically create various latte art patterns according to instructions.

"I want to try it! I want a kitten design!"

He awkwardly tapped on the touchscreen, eliciting good-natured laughter from several employees nearby.

When the coffee machine actually "spit out" a latte with a clear kitten pattern printed on the milk foam, Cui Yuxin exclaimed with delight and quickly took a picture.

Qian Didi couldn't resist getting moving and took many atmospheric photos in a corridor filled with dynamic light and shadow codes.

Soon, their Weibo accounts were updated one after another.

Zhao Zhiwei: "Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden! No, I mean, visiting the Future City! Thanks to @Jiang Qingjiang's LP company for providing the venue! This place... is absolutely amazing! (Photo: An exaggerated selfie of myself standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, pointing out the scenery, with the Wuwen Technology Park in the background)"

Zeng Keni: "What's it like filming in Teacher Jiang's technological kingdom? I felt like a country bumpkin who'd stumbled into a sci-fi movie~ But the environment was really amazing! (Photo: A selfie of her holding a cat-themed latte art coffee, with the futuristic Star River Cafe in the background)"

Cui Yuxin: "Friends, take a look at what high technology looks like! Coffee can be customized now! Thanks to Brother Jiang for showing us the world! (Photo: Close-up of the coffee machine and his surprised expression)"

Qian Didi: "The light and shadow tunnel~ Filming here creates an amazing atmosphere. (Image: A profile of her in the code light and shadow corridor)"

These updates instantly ignited the internet!

"Wow! Is this the interior of Wuwen Technology? This is so cool! It's like a science fiction movie!"

"Zhao Zhiwei, that pose of yours is hilarious! You dare to boss around President Jiang's territory?"

"That coffee Zeng Keni is holding! It's like a frothy kitten! I want the same one! Is Wuwen still hiring? Looking for people who can drink coffee!"

"Didi's photo has such an amazing atmosphere! Is this really an office building? Are you sure it's not a science and technology exhibition hall?"

"I'm so envious! The film crew actually got to shoot a movie inside Wuwen Technology! Jiang Shen is so generous!"

"This is the office environment I've always dreamed of! Look at other people's break rooms, and then look at my cubicle... I'm crying!"

"Jiang Qing's company... I only knew it was impressive before, but now that I've seen the inside, I realize just how amazing it is! This is exactly what I imagined a tech company to be like!"

"The crew of 'Lighter' is really giving us great perks! Looking forward to the scenes with LP Company! This environment is so fitting!"

"Where is Jiang Qing himself? We want to see CEO Jiang appear on camera! We want to see the buzz-cut tycoon inspecting his tech empire!"

……

The topics "Wuwen Technology's internal environment exposed", "Lighter film crew moves into Wuwen", and "Envy Zhao Zhiwei and Zeng Keni" quickly became trending topics.

Netizens were amazed by Wuwen Technology's futuristic and human-centered interior environment, and their understanding of Jiangqing Technology's emerging elite became more concrete and intuitive.

This is the young unicorn company leader who is truly at the forefront of technology and has created an extraordinary working environment.

At the same time, there is even greater anticipation for the storyline of "Lighter and Princess Dress" unfolding in such a cool environment.

On set, filming proceeded smoothly.

Sitting in front of the monitor, Liu Junjie praised the environment provided by Wuwen Technology.

"This is fantastic! The quality and atmosphere are a hundred times better than the venues we found before!"

The people around them all voiced their approval.

In the filming, when Jiang Qing, dressed in a well-tailored dark suit and sporting his signature buzz cut, stood in a technologically advanced real-life setting and recited his lines to the camera, his aura was natural and required no deliberate acting.

He is the master of this place.

Zhang Jingyi appeared in the camera wearing a neat business suit, her high heels making a crisp sound on the smooth floor.

She strode forward with swift, decisive steps, her gaze fixed firmly on the tall, imposing figure at the office doorway ahead.

"Good! Jingyi's eyes are on point! Keep it up! Let's go!"

Liu Junjie directed operations from behind the monitor.

Perhaps she was walking too fast, or perhaps she wasn't used to her new high heels, but as she approached Jiang Qing, Zhang Jingyi's ankle twisted almost imperceptibly, causing her to lose her balance and instinctively let out a low gasp.

Just when she thought she was about to embarrass herself and mess up, a hand steadily supported her elbow.

The force was just right, preventing her from falling without appearing abrupt.

It's Jiang Qing.

He was originally facing away from the camera and towards the office, but seemingly sensing her unsteadiness, he turned around very naturally and reached out to support her.

His movements were so fast that it seemed like just a part of a script.

Eyes facing each other.

Jiang Qing's eyes held a hint of inquiry, but Zhang Jingyi clearly saw the fleeting genuine concern deep within them.

She steadied herself, quickly adjusting her expression back to the somewhat stubborn one she had in Zhu Yun. Using Jiang Qing's arm for support, she stood up straight and quickly recited a line from the script in a low voice.

"It's nothing, I was just walking too fast."

Then he withdrew his arm without leaving a trace.

The whole process was smooth and natural, as if it were part of the story.

"Cut! Great! That little interlude was added naturally! That's a wrap!"

Liu Junjie was very satisfied; Jiang Qing and the other person performed with great chemistry.

The clapperboard fell, and filming was paused.

Zhang Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Jiang Qing beside her, still feeling lingering fear.

"That scared me to death, I almost embarrassed myself."

She raised her hand to tidy up a strand of hair that had fallen onto her cheek in her haste.

Jiang Qing looked at her with gentle eyes and a soothing smile in his voice.

"It's alright, no serious injury. Just walk slower next time."

His gaze lingered on her slightly flushed cheeks for a moment, then naturally shifted away, looking at Liu Junjie who was walking over to discuss the next shot.

But that moment of concern was clearly conveyed.

This scene was captured by several sharp-eyed employees of Wuwen Technology and crew members on the sidelines. They exchanged ambiguous glances and had smiles on their faces as they watched the drama unfold.

The online discussion about "Mingyun Xunhuan" is likely to be fueled even more.

The day of shooting passed quietly amidst busyness and novelty.

As the golden light of dusk streamed through the massive glass curtain wall and bathed the entire floor, the day's filming finally came to an end.

The staff began packing up the equipment.

Zhang Jingyi changed back into her down jacket, walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and looked out at the park bathed in the golden light of the setting sun.

After Jiang Qing finished dealing with some company affairs, he saw her in the distance and walked over to stand side by side with her.

"are you tired?"

He looked out the window and spoke softly.

"Thankfully, we filmed here. It felt like I was having a really cool dream."

Zhang Jingyi turned to look at him. The afterglow of the setting sun cast a warm golden hue on her profile, and her deep, bright eyes reflected the glow of the sunset, sparkling brightly.

"This place is wonderful, and the sunset is especially beautiful."

Her tone was filled with genuine admiration.

Jiang Qing followed her gaze to the Wuwen Technology Park, which he had created, and then turned his head to look at her face, which was illuminated by the sunset and exuded a free and romantic atmosphere.

"Ah."

He responded with a smile, then turned his gaze back to the window.

"You can come anytime you want in the future."

Zhang Jingyi paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something as she came back to her senses, and nodded slightly with a smile.

"Okay."

Jiang Qing turned her head to meet her gaze.

Their eyes met, and they both lowered their eyes at the same time.

Inside the Wuwen Building, the intelligent lighting system automatically illuminates soft light strips as the light dims, outlining lines full of technological sophistication.

The hustle and bustle of the day gradually subsided, but the pulse of Wuwen Technology continued to beat steadily and powerfully.

After a day of filming in this futuristic environment, the crew members embarked on their journey home, filled with awe and countless moments to share on social media.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in Hengdian World Studios, another exciting show is unfolding.
