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

Chapter 359 Cross-Circle Shock, Jiang the Keeper
The days that followed seemed to be muted, entering a state of tacit, peaceful tranquility.

Liu Haocun's sudden intrusion that day was like a spark thrown into a deep pool; the ripples were quickly smoothed out by the tacit understanding that Jiang Qing and Chen Duling had deliberately maintained.

They reached a silent agreement to never mention that name, Zhou Ye, or anyone else who might stir up trouble.

That minefield was deliberately avoided.

Jiang Qing's promise to Chen Duling also transformed into the ever-burning stove fire in the kitchen.

It was as if he wanted to make up for the weight she had lost during the past six months on set, bit by bit, with delicious food.

In the early morning, soft-boiled eggs are served with toasted whole wheat bread, drizzled with a little honey.

Lunch was an incredibly delicious mushroom and chicken soup, served with a refreshing stir-fry of seasonal vegetables.

Dinner was even more varied, ranging from squirrel-shaped mandarin fish from Jiangnan to Mapo tofu from Sichuan.

Of course, it's the mildly spicy version.

Some rabbits can't eat any spicy food at all.

Occasionally, he would also make a new Western-style steak with red wine sauce; in short, he always tried to make delicious food in different ways.

Time flows by quietly.

In October, the autumn colors gradually deepen in Luyang.

Chen Duling stood in front of the bathroom mirror, pinched her noticeably fuller cheeks, and then looked down at her waistline.

She cupped her face in front of the mirror and made an exaggerated, mournful face.

Oh no, it's really round now!
The actress's workplace injury hadn't fully healed when the zookeeper's feeding was just too good.

"Jiang Qing!"

She shuffled to the kitchen door in her slippers and launched into a tirade against the busy figures inside.

"Look at you! You've made me a little fatso! From today onwards, I'm going to control my diet! Strictly! Control! It!"

Jiang Qing was carefully flipping the golden-brown fried tofu in the pan with chopsticks when she heard this. She didn't turn her head, but just chuckled softly.

"Where have you gained weight? You're just right. You used to be so thin, it looked like you'd fall over in the wind."

"I do not care!"

Chen Duling walked over and angrily slapped his strong arm, making a crisp sound.

"You're doing this on purpose! You want to raise me until no one else wants me, so I can only rely on you, right!"

Jiang Qing then turned his head and looked at her angry yet somewhat arrogant appearance, and couldn't help but smile.

He picked up a piece of freshly fried tofu, sizzling with oil, blew on it, and brought it directly to her lips.

"Want to try some? It's freshly bought braised tofu, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside."

Before my eyes, the golden, crispy shell and the enticing aroma of soybeans...

Chen Duling subconsciously swallowed, her mind locked in a fierce battle between reason and appetite.

Ultimately, appetite won by an overwhelming margin!
She quickly opened her mouth and snatched the source of the evil in one bite, panting as it burned her. Even as she ate, she continued her accusations.

"Ugh... It's so hot! Jiang Qing, you're so mean!... Mmm... It tastes good... But you did it on purpose!... Ouch... It's hot!"

She mumbled a complaint, her cheeks bulging.

Jiang Qing was almost overwhelmed by her adorable, contradictory behavior.

He raised his hand and used his fingertip to wipe away a bit of oil from the corner of her mouth.

"Eat slowly, no one will take it from you, there's more in the pot."

Chen Duling was so charmed by his gentle actions that she could only glare at him again, but there was no anger in her eyes, only a sweet and endearing reproach.

During this period, she truly felt the changes in Jiang Qing.

Very good!
She's so good at sweet-talking people!
How could she bear to leave the beautiful dream woven by this man?
It's so good it makes you want to... fall for it!
The peaceful life in Luyang was just one corner of the storm.

While Jiang Qing and his partner were enjoying their time together, the tech and entertainment industries in October were experiencing a series of upheavals because of the name "Wuwen Technology".

In early October, a piece of news exploded like a drop of boiling oil in the film and television industry.
iQiyi, Tencent Video, and Kuzi Video, three leading video platforms, almost simultaneously announced the official launch of an AI-powered script selection system customized and developed by Wuwen Technology, which is already in practical use!

The news caused an uproar in the industry!
An unnamed executive from the iQiyi platform couldn't hide his excitement in a private conversation.

"The efficiency improvement is tremendous! In the past, manual initial screening of a massive number of submissions was exhausting, and there were still bound to be some gems missed. This system has exceeded expectations in terms of the accuracy and speed of the initial screening! Several promising projects have already been quickly identified and entered the in-depth development process."

The content manager of Tencent Video also revealed this at a small-scale industry sharing session.

"The system has a strong ability to perform preliminary analysis of market preferences, policy risks, and story structure, which greatly saves us time and costs in the early stages of assessment, and the internal feedback has been very positive."

There has been no news from Kuzi Video, but the fact that they have announced several projects in preparation speaks volumes about the underlying reasons.

The platform was overjoyed, but another group of people couldn't sit still.

Renowned screenwriter Wang Hailin was the first to speak out on Weibo, publicly tagging Jiang Qing.

"Mr. Jiang, if I may be so blunt, is your AI screening system a step forward or a stifling force for the industry? Can a cold algorithm understand the complexities of human nature? Can it comprehend the nuances of art? If this continues, screenwriters will be forced to conform to the machine's standard answers, severely suppressing their creative passion and originality! Ultimately, the entire film and television industry will suffer in terms of content quality!"

His statement quickly garnered support and reposts from many fellow screenwriters, and topics such as #AIScriptSelectionSystem# and #JiangQingMovedTheScreenwriters'Cheese# quickly became trending topics.

However, this has created two distinct polarizations online.

Most ordinary netizens applauded the move.

"I support Dr. Jiang! It's long overdue to use technology to improve efficiency! Haven't these platforms bought enough lousy scripts before?"

"Exactly! Improving the quality of scripts is a great thing! Dr. Jiang's contributions will be remembered for generations to come!"

"The machine screening process first eliminates obviously shoddy works and those that plagiarize or borrow ideas. Then, human screenwriters do the final selection. It's a win-win situation! What do truly good screenwriters have to fear?"

"It's good to put some pressure on the screenwriters. Stop working in isolation all day and write something that the audience really wants to watch! Well done, Wuwen Technology!"

"Jiang Qing is truly amazing! As expected of a top figure in the tech world, he's a master at curing inefficiency in all industries! I support him!"

The war of words raged on, with Wuwen Technology and Jiang Qing's names firmly occupying the center of the discussion.

However, before this wave subsided, an even bigger shock followed.

On October 16, JD.com officially announced that its smart warehousing system developed in cooperation with Wuwen Technology has completed a comprehensive version upgrade. The new system has achieved significant breakthroughs in sorting efficiency, error rate control, and energy management, reaching the expected goals.

JD.com has paid Wuwen Technology RMB 1.2 million for this upgrade, as per the agreement!

One stone caused a thousand waves!

1.2 billion!
This is not just a huge number, but also a strong endorsement of Wuwen Technology's ability to implement its technology and its commercial value!

This means that JD.com will pay a corresponding amount every year to maintain and upgrade this system, while Wuwen Technology only needs to provide technical support.

Tech media and financial news sections were instantly flooded with this news.

"Wuwen Technology", "Jiang Qing", "1.2 million", and "intelligent warehousing system" became the hottest keywords.

Industry insiders are amazed by the depth of Wuwen Technology's technological prowess in the field of smart logistics, which has convinced giants like JD.com to willingly invest real money.

Before the shock had subsided, just over a day later, on the morning of October 18, Fosun Group held a press conference, where Chairman Guo Guangchang personally announced a major piece of news.

Fosun Group's healthcare sector has entered into a deep strategic partnership with Wuwen Technology!

Fosun will officially introduce the AI ​​diagnosis and treatment assistance system developed by Wuwen Technology for RMB 10 billion, and will jointly establish an "AI + Healthcare" joint laboratory with Wuwen Technology to explore the application of artificial intelligence in core areas such as precision medicine and new drug development!
10 billion!
Medical AI!

Joint laboratory!
The combination of these three keywords is far more powerful than previous script selection and storage upgrades!

If previous collaborations were limited to entertainment and logistics efficiency, this time they have directly entered the core field of medical and health care, which is a matter of life and death and has extremely high technical barriers!

The entire medical community was shaken, and the level of discussion and public attention it sparked was nothing short of a major earthquake.

Numerous medical experts, industry analysts, and technology observers have joined the fray, analyzing and discussing the system's principles, potential value, and the industry transformation it may bring. Within just half a month, Wuwen Technology has dropped bombshells in three distinct fields at an astonishing pace, each time triggering phenomenal discussions and industry upheavals.

Its breadth and depth of technology, as well as its strong commercialization capabilities, have completely overturned the outside world's perception of this young company.

The top ten trending topics on Weibo were once dominated by topics related to "Wuwen Technology".

On Douyin, there are countless analytical videos, popular science videos, and even meme videos about Wuwen Technology's three collaborations, with views often reaching millions.

On Zhihu's trending topics list, questions such as "How to evaluate Wuwen Technology's recent three-pronged attack?" and "Can Wuwen Technology's AI diagnosis and treatment system really change the medical industry?" have generated extremely heated answers and discussions.

Professional investment institutions also reacted quickly upon hearing the news.

After comprehensively assessing the formidable technological strength, cross-industry penetration capabilities, and enormous future commercial potential demonstrated by Wuwen Technology's three major collaborations, several top investment banks and valuation agencies quickly updated their valuation reports on the company.

On October 20th, a screenshot of a report from a well-known international valuation agency went viral in financial circles: based on the latest market performance and future expectations, Wuwen Technology's latest valuation has reached 45 billion yuan!
450 billion!
An unlisted technology company!

This number was like a super nuclear bomb, instantly pushing all previous discussions to their peak and causing a second shock across the entire internet!
From tech media to financial channels, from social media platforms to everyday conversations, "Wuwen Technology" and "Jiang Qing" have become absolute phenomenon-level terms.

"My God! 450 billion? Jiang Qing is only 26 years old, right??"

"To correct you, he's 27 years old (by the traditional Chinese age reckoning)!"

"This is the real tech upstart! What were those app developers compared to him? Compared to them, Jiang Qing is practically a bug in the system! It's like a game-changer!"

"I'm so jealous, everyone else's 26th birthday..."

"Is Wuwen Technology still hiring? I'll even sweep the floor! I just want to experience Jiang Shen's overflowing intelligence up close!"

"Jiang Qing is like a male protagonist from Jinjiang Literature City come to life! Young, handsome, with an insane IQ, and he built a multi-billion dollar empire from scratch... (screams)"

"Wake up, upstairs! That's my husband (doge emoji)"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Jiang Qingdu is apologizing to me!"

"Whose urine is yellow? Wake them up!"

"A group of terrifying perverted women..."

Public opinion was in an uproar.

Jiang Qing's image was further deified.

A double PhD from the University of Science and Technology of China, the most handsome founder of a multi-billion dollar technology company, his crossover acting sparked phenomenal discussions, and he gained countless fans in variety shows... These labels combined have created a near-perfect image of "someone else's child".

His name has become the latest synonym for an extraordinary life.

However, the spacious apartments in Binhu Shuangxi offer a respite from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows is the dazzling night view of Luyang, while inside, warm lights illuminate the space.

On television, the financial channel host was broadcasting in an excited voice.

"Wuwen Technology's valuation has surpassed the 450 billion yuan mark, making its founder Jiang Qing the most watched tech upstart of the year..."

The backdrop features a composed profile of Jiang Qing giving a speech at a technology forum.

Chen Duling sat cross-legged on the soft carpet, leaning against the sofa, holding a small bowl of grapes that Jiang Qing had just washed.

She looked at the radiant man on TV, defined by countless halos and numbers, then turned to look at the man in the kitchen, wearing a gray apron and intently tending to the clay pot.

The Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup, which he had started preparing that afternoon, was simmering in a clay pot. The complex aroma wafted out, making one's mouth water.

He was frowning slightly, carefully skimming off the foam, as serious as a scientist operating precision instruments in a laboratory.

The stark contrast made Chen Duling burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Qing didn't turn around, and casually asked.

"Laughing at you."

Chen Duling picked up a bright green grape and popped it into her mouth, its sweetness melting on her tongue.

"Everyone outside is practically worshipping you like a god, Mr. Jiang with a net worth of 450 billion! And what's the result? Mr. Jiang is diligently working as my caretaker at home, figuring out how to make the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup even richer. Tsk tsk tsk..."

Jiang Qing then turned off the heat, put the lid on the clay pot, wiped her hands, and walked over.

He looked down at the smiling girl on the carpet, deliberately putting on a stern face.

"What? Mr. Jiang cooked himself, and Teacher Chen isn't satisfied?"

"Satisfied! Extremely satisfied!"

Chen Duling nodded quickly and handed over the bowl of grapes with a fawning expression.

"Mr. Jiang, you've worked hard. Would you like to try some?"

Jiang Qing didn't take the bowl. Instead, she bent down and, using her hand, took the grape that Jiang Qing had just picked up from her fingertips.

Chen Duling felt a tingling sensation in her fingertips, her face flushed slightly, and she scolded him in a coquettish voice.

"Hey! I just wanted to tease you, so I'm showing you!"

"It's mine now."

Jiang Qing straightened up, chewing slowly and deliberately, a mischievous smile in his eyes.

"Want some? There's more in the pot."

"Jiang Qing!"

Chen Duling pretended to put the grape bowl on his head.

Jiang Qing smiled and dodged away, then sat down on the carpet next to her, her legs casually bent.

He picked up the remote and turned off the noisy financial analysis on TV, leaving only the soft bubbling sound of the clay pot in the living room.

The night outside the window deepened, and the room was quiet.

"It's incredibly noisy outside."

Chen Duling leaned on his shoulder and whispered.

She was referring to the $450 billion valuation, which was the subject of widespread media coverage.

"Ah."

Jiang Qing simply responded casually, put his arm around her shoulder, and pulled her closer to him.

"Just numbers."

His tone was neither smug nor arrogant, but rather as calm and ordinary as drinking cold water.

It's as if the 450 billion that shocked the entire internet is just as important as the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup they're making right now.

Chen Duling leaned against him, feeling the steady heartbeat coming from his chest.

The turbulent waves of the outside world and the glitz and clamor of the world of fame and fortune are all shut out by this small world.

She felt incredibly at ease.

No matter how turbulent the outside world is, no matter how uncertain the future may be, at least for this moment, "President Jiang," who is admired by countless people, is her caretaker who belongs to her completely.

She reached out and gently poked his strong arm muscles, whispering sweet nothings.

"Pastor Jiang, is the soup almost ready? I'm hungry."

Jiang Qing lowered his head and placed a light kiss on the corner of her forehead.

"Yes, Teacher Chen. Dinner will be served immediately."
