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

Chapter 410 The Mad Wang Cherishes
In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The relaxed atmosphere that had just been there vanished in the blink of an eye, replaced by a subtle and tense stillness.

The twinkling lights on the lake outside the window still shimmered, reflecting off Wang Cheran's face through the glass, making her expression appear uncertain.

She seemed to need time to process this sudden, blunt question.

Or perhaps they are quickly considering how to respond.

The air seemed to thicken, and all the sounds and light focused on the two people standing face to face.

Jiang Qing didn't urge her, but patiently waited for her to continue, her gaze calm.

He watched as a series of complex emotions flashed quickly across her eyes: surprise, hesitation, and a hint of panic at having her secret exposed.

But in the end, it all settled into calm.

Wang Churan took a slight breath, raised her face, and met Jiang Qing's gaze again.

This time, the look in her eyes was no longer just the adoration of a fan for their idol, but something deeper and more complex.

Instead of answering yes or no immediately, she bit her lower lip and asked softly in return.

"Jiang Shen, why...why would you ask that?"

His voice was lower than before, with a slight tremor, but his eyes did not dodge, as if he wanted to read the true intention behind Jiang Qing's question from his expression.

Jiang Qing looked at her approach of neither admitting nor denying, but instead throwing the question back at her, and a half-smile appeared on her lips.

He wasn't swayed by her question; instead, he continued to look at her with eyes that seemed to see through everything.

"From your repeated appearances in places you shouldn't have been, to bringing me food that suits my taste today, and then answering questions about the origin of this address so fluently... I'm shocked. You acted so naturally and so thoughtfully. This doesn't seem like a spur-of-the-moment fan behavior; it's more like a carefully planned... approach."

His gaze swept over her slightly tense body lines, and he softened his voice.

"I'm just curious, what do you ultimately want after going through all this trouble? Or rather, what kind of response do you hope to get from me?"

As Wang listened to Jiang Qing's clear and logical analysis, the color drained from Wang's face, but her eyes grew increasingly determined.

Her hands, which were behind her back, were clenched into fists so tightly that her nails dug deep into her flesh, and the stinging pain kept her awake.

In fact, by this point she already understood that once suspicion began with someone like Jiang Qing, simple denial or feigning ignorance was no longer meaningful.

I took another deep breath.

Wang raised his head in alarm, looking directly at Jiang Qing. The panic in his eyes had completely faded, replaced by a burning intensity that seemed to be a desperate gamble.

"Yes."

She finally spoke, her voice clear and strong.

Although his voice trembled slightly, it was unusually certain.

"Jiang Shen, you're right. I do like you. Not the kind of liking a fan has for an idol, but the liking a woman has for a man."

Once the words of admission were spoken, she felt much more relaxed.

She took a small step forward, closing the already short distance between them, and looked up at Jiang Qing with a burning gaze.

“Jiang Shen, I started paying attention to you from the moment you revealed your identity in Peach Blossom Village. Later, I specifically went to learn about all your past experiences and followed every step of Wuwen Technology’s progress. The more I learned, the more attracted I became to you. Everything about you fascinates me! I know that this may seem silly or crazy to you, given the huge gap between us and the fact that you may have other people around you.”

As he finished speaking, Wang Churan's eyes dimmed for a moment, but quickly regained their fervent light, and his tone became even more determined.

“But I just can’t control myself! I want to get closer to you, to know more about you, to…stand by your side. Even just watching from afar, or like now, being able to occasionally bring you food or say a few words to you, would make me very happy and content! I know I’m not good enough for you, and I’ve never asked for any title or promise…”

Her voice carried a humble earnestness, yet also revealed an undeniable stubbornness. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Jiang Qing, as if trying to etch every subtle reaction of his at this moment, seeking some possibility.

"Jiang Shen, I like you, that's my own business. I never expected any response, I just... I just didn't want to stay completely hidden in the shadows anymore, letting you always see me as a fan. Do you... understand?"

Her voice trailed off with a slight sob, but her eyes were unusually bright, revealing an almost obsessive fervor, despite her best efforts to conceal it with her docile appearance.

Jiang Qing listened quietly to her finish speaking, her face showing little emotional fluctuation.

He didn't respond to her confession immediately, but instead thoughtfully observed the changes in her expression, looking at this young and beautiful girl who was now displaying such complex and intense emotions in front of him.

He saw the adoration, humility, persistence, and even fanaticism in her eyes, but this time, he decided to stop beating around the bush and confront her with the harshest reality.

Jiang Qing looked directly into Wang Churan's hopeful eyes, her expression serious.

"Cran, thank you for your honesty. I also have to be honest with you. I feel your affection, but my situation may be very different from what you imagine."

He spoke directly and bluntly, without any euphemisms.

“I have girlfriends, and more than one. I’m not a faithful person in relationships, let alone a good match. The person you see now may be glamorous and have a filter on you, but in terms of my personal life, it’s a mess, even... chaotic. I’m not worth your investment of your feelings.”

These words were like a bucket of ice water poured over her; Jiang Qing clearly intended to draw a line and shatter her unrealistic fantasies.

As expected, Wang Churan might be taken aback, hurt, or even feel that her idol image has collapsed, and eventually give up.

However, Wang's reaction was completely beyond his expectations.

The blush that had risen on her face from the confession did not fade; instead, it became even more pronounced. A strange light flashed in her eyes—not disappointment or anger, but rather… an expression of extreme excitement.

Jiang Qing frowned, realizing something was wrong.

Instead of retreating, Wang Churan took a small step forward, staring intently at him.

"I know! Jiang Shen, I guessed long ago that there might be more than just Ye Zi! I knew it!"

Without the slightest hesitation, they were filled with an excited sense of "just as expected," or even "just what I wanted."

"But so what?"

Her voice suddenly rose, carrying a kind of reckless obsession.

"I don't care! I really don't care how many girlfriends you have! You are Jiang Qing! You are so outstanding, so dazzling, like the sun! How could the sun only shine on one person?"

Jiang Qing was stunned for a moment, her mind going blank for a second.

This……

Wang Churan's speech became rapid, and his eyes burned with fervor.

"As long as I can stay by your side, as long as I can see you occasionally and talk to you, I'll be content! Really! I don't need any title, I don't need you to belong to me alone! That would be too selfish and unrealistic! I just need a corner in your heart, a small place!"

She became more and more excited as she spoke.

What made Jiang Qing's eyelids twitch even more was what she said next.

Wang Churan seemed to have fallen into some kind of self-hypnotic frenzy, her tone becoming unusually sincere and even carrying a strange sense of consideration.

"Jiang Shen, I can... I can try to like the people you like! Ye Zi is cute, Meng Meng is interesting, and... there are other people too. As long as you like them, I can try to like them and get along well with them! I will definitely not cause you any trouble or make things difficult for you! I will be very good, very, very good!"

As she spoke, a look of longing appeared on her face, as if she were describing not an absurd scenario of sharing a boyfriend, but a paradise she had always dreamed of.

This completely illogical and outrageous statement left Jiang Qing, who was used to seeing all sorts of things, speechless and filled with an indescribable sense of astonishment.

He looked into her frighteningly bright eyes, filled with hope and an almost religious fervor.

This goes far beyond the admiration of ordinary fans, and even surpasses the usual sense of tolerance. It is a deep-seated obsession, expressed in a seemingly extremely humble and submissive way.

Jiang Qing opened her mouth, but found herself at a loss for words.

He had never encountered this situation before.

Any rational advice seems pale and powerless in the face of such near-mad fervor.

His prepared words of distancing himself from her became meaningless in the face of her shocking declaration. An eerie silence fell over the living room.

Only Wang Churan's slightly rapid breathing and her eyes, still fixed on Jiang Qing and filled with infinite longing, silently spoke of her twisted love that she could not refuse.

Looking at the stunningly beautiful and well-proportioned girl in front of him, Jiang Qing realized for the first time that Wang Churan's so-called affection for him might be far deeper, more obsessive, and even more... dangerous than he had imagined.

This is no longer something that can be easily dismissed with a simple "let nature take its course"; he needs to re-evaluate this seemingly well-behaved fan.

The silence lasted for several seconds.

"It's getting late, I'll have someone take you back to your hotel."

Jiang Qing spoke with a complicated expression.

In this situation, there's no need to waste any more words.

This time, Wang Churan did not show the slightest disappointment. Instead, as if she had received some kind of tacit approval or recognition, she smiled brightly and nodded vigorously.

"Okay! I'll do whatever Jiang Shen says! I'm leaving now, you should get some rest too, you've had a hard day."

She walked briskly to get her bag, and as she reached the door, she turned back again, her eyes still burning with passion.

"Goodnight, Jiang Shen. Everything I just said was serious, very serious!"

After saying that, she reluctantly opened the door and left.

The door closed, and Jiang Qing stood there, motionless for a long time.

Wang Cherish's last words seemed to still linger in the air.

He raised his hand and rubbed his temples, feeling an unprecedented sense of unease.

This girl is definitely not as well-behaved and sensible as she appears on the surface.

The room became quiet again.

Jiang Qing stood in the center of the living room and glanced at the clock on the wall; it was just past eight o'clock in the evening.

He went to the study, turned on his computer, and prepared to deal with some backlogged emails.

Almost simultaneously, the phone started vibrating continuously.

He glanced at it and saw that the company's group chat was flooded with messages.

"The white paper has been released!"

"The website is experiencing a surge in traffic, and the technical team is maintaining the servers."

"Number one trending topic on Weibo!"

"Striving for third place globally, aiming straight for first!"

"Topped the trending list on TikTok..."

Jiang Qing opened Weibo and, sure enough, saw a bright red "Explosive" sign following the entry for "Wuwen Wanxiang Technology White Paper".

At 8:00 AM sharp, Wuwen Technology's official website and blog released a 120-page technical white paper, detailing the core technical aspects of Wanxiang, including the GRPO optimization method, MLA architecture design, data distillation technology, and engineering implementation solutions.

Within just ten minutes, the Weibo post was forwarded over 30,000 times, and the comments section was buzzing with discussion.

"Holy crap! This is purely technical sharing! Wuwen's vision is truly amazing!"

"Although I don't quite understand it, it seems amazing! So this really does mean doing more work with less computing power?"

"+1 to the comment above. After reading the white paper, I feel that Wanxiang's success is not due to piling on hardware, but rather to the extreme optimization of algorithms and engineering!"

"As an AI engineer, I can only say that Wanxiang's technology roadmap is too clear, and every step is in the right direction!"

On Zhihu, the question "How would you evaluate the Wuwen Wanxiang Technology White Paper?" quickly became a trending topic.

A user verified as "Head of AI Lab at a major company" wrote: "After reading the white paper, I must admit that Wuwen's breakthroughs in algorithm innovation and engineering optimization are revolutionary. They not only proposed a completely new reinforcement learning paradigm, but more importantly, they achieved a complete closed loop from theory to engineering implementation. The value of this white paper is no less than that of a top conference best paper."

Another computer science professor commented: "What surprised me most was Wuwen's improvement in training efficiency. According to the white paper, they trained Wanxiang with computing power equivalent to one-third of the industry average, outperforming all existing open-source models. This means that the threshold for large AI models has been significantly lowered, and more small and medium-sized enterprises and research institutions will have the opportunity to participate."

Meanwhile, the response abroad was equally enthusiastic.

Numerous experts, scholars, and companies in Silicon Valley are closely following Wuwen's developments, especially the technical white paper that Jiang Qing mentioned at the press conference.

They wanted to see if Jiang Qing's words at the press conference were exaggerated.

Soon after, the first group of people who had read the white paper began to speak out.

On Twitter, an OpenAI researcher posted: "Just finished reading Wuwen's technical white paper, and I must admit that their innovations in model architecture and training methods exceeded my expectations. In particular, the GRPO method provides a completely new approach to solving the sparse reward problem in reinforcement learning."

A DeepMind engineer shared and commented: "The data distillation technique mentioned in this white paper is impressive. If their method is indeed as effective as described, the cost of training large-scale models could be reduced by an order of magnitude."

The official account of Stanford University's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory posted: "Wuwen Technology's technical white paper demonstrates China's innovative capabilities in the field of AI. We look forward to conducting academic exchanges with Wuwen and jointly promoting the development of AI technology."

Even the usually low-profile Yoshua Bengio stated on his personal account: "I greatly admire Wuwen Technology's open-source spirit, and the few-shot learning optimization method mentioned in the technical white paper is worth studying in depth."

These evaluations from top international institutions and industry leaders further confirm the significance of Wanxiang's technological breakthrough.

That night, the entire tech industry was destined to be sleepless.

Whether in China or abroad, in academia or industry, everyone is discussing Wuwen's technical white paper.

It's not just a technical document, but more like a manifesto, announcing that the development of AI technology has entered a new stage.

Jiang Qing, who was at the center of the storm, had just turned off her computer and was about to wash up and rest.

My phone lit up; it was a message from Jiang Nan.

"Bro! The white paper is getting a fantastic response! Our school's professors are all discussing it in the group chat!"

Jiang Qing smiled and typed a reply.

"go to bed early."

"Okay, bro! You should go to sleep early too!"

Putting down her phone, Jiang Qing walked to the window and looked at the night view outside.

The city lights still shine brightly, and under these lights, countless people are excited, discussing, and planning for the future, all in anticipation of unseen technological breakthroughs.

Technology changes the world.

And Wuwen is striding forward on this path.

My phone vibrated again; it was a message from Wang Chiran.

"Jiang Shen, I saw the white paper received a fantastic response! Congratulations!"

He glanced at it but didn't reply.

This girl gave him so many surprises today.

After yesterday's incident, and with the year-end approaching, Sister Meng and the others have all returned to their respective film crews or homes.

Zhang Wen also sent a message saying that she accompanied Xiao Ye back to her maternal grandmother's house in the mountain city. The girl seemed fine, but she was quieter and often spaced out by herself.

As for Wang Churan, after today's conversation, she should obediently leave tomorrow.

Thinking of Wang Churan, Jiang Qing suddenly pictured her obsessive and fanatical gaze, and a sense of uncertainty arose in her heart.

It should...be, right?
