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

Chapter 421 Demanding an explanation, holding a handle

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Wuwen Technology officially started construction.

Although the festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year has not completely dissipated, Wuwen Park has returned to its usual bustling scene, even more vibrant than before the holiday.

Wang Churan did not leave Luyang immediately.

Just like before the New Year, she got up on time every morning, prepared a simple breakfast, ate with Jiang Qing, and then went out to the company with him.

Without a question, she once again became Jiang Qing's unofficial assistant.

The first thing I do every day is to tidy up Jiang Qing's desk and brew her a cup of tea at just the right temperature.

When Jiang Qing is busy, she will sit quietly to the side and look at the script that the company has just found for her.

When she saw that Jiang Qing had been working for too long, she would remind him to take a break and have some water.

She wore simple and elegant work clothes, with clean makeup and proper demeanor, and moved around the office area of ​​Wuwen Technology, responding to every curious glance with a friendly smile.

Gradually, the employees who hadn't stayed on duty years ago but had heard about it went from initial surprise to eventually getting used to it.

Some even joked privately that Secretary Wang was becoming more and more skilled at her job, and Assistant Chen might be about to lose his job.

When these words reached Chen Duo's ears, he looked at Wang Churan, who was busy taking care of Jiang Qing's life in an orderly manner, and a trace of worry flashed through his mind: "Is my job in jeopardy?"

Of course, it only lasted for a moment.

He knew best that Wang Churan handled more of the details of daily life and simple administrative tasks, while Jiang Qing still relied entirely on him for the core operational and strategic decisions of the company.

Some private discussions inevitably mentioned other actresses who had previously worked at the company, especially Zhou Ye and Meng Ziyi, who had quite a few supporters within the company.

However, most people believe that given Jiang Qing's current situation, it would be perfectly normal for her to date any female celebrity.

Now that the person appearing at the company is Wang Churan, who once claimed to be a fan of Jiang Qing at the Wanxiang press conference, it means that those who appeared before may already be a thing of the past.

But nobody cared.

Given President Jiang's wealth, isn't this perfectly normal?

The news quickly spread online, sparking much speculation.

However, at present, the mainstream discussion is not about these gossips.

Since the official commencement of construction, an indescribable atmosphere of excitement has permeated Wuwen Technology.

The employees naturally saw the astonishing valuation of Wuwen Technology circulating online.

Although the specific figures vary, everyone knows in their hearts that their company is a potential stock that has one foot in the ranks of top technology giants, with unlimited potential for the future.

This sense of pride, along with the personal development opportunities and potential rewards that come with the soaring company value, fuels everyone's enthusiasm and makes them work exceptionally hard at their tasks.

The progress of Wanxiang Ecosystem has far exceeded expectations, resulting in an exponential increase in business volume.

Each department was like a tightly wound machine, operating at high speed.

Correspondingly, the talent shortage has become apparent.

The Human Resources Department has begun a rapid expansion plan, with multiple departments, including technology research and development, market operations, and ecosystem cooperation, all expressing significant staffing needs.

When approving the expansion plan, Jiang Qing specifically emphasized one point: academic qualifications are an important reference, but not the only standard, much less the highest standard.

He demanded that the human resources department and heads of various business departments focus their assessments on candidates' practical abilities, technical skills, problem-solving skills, and teamwork spirit. They should be willing to recruit talents who may not have impressive academic backgrounds but are truly innovative, have potential, and are willing to delve into their work.

"What we need are soldiers who can fight and fight tough battles, not bookworms who can only take exams."

Jiang Qing said this at a high-level meeting.

This strict requirement was rigorously implemented, ensuring that Wuwen Technology could maintain control over the quality of its talent even during its rapid expansion.

After a long day of intense work, Jiang Qing would return to Binhu Shuangxi with Wang Cheran.

Back home, Jiang Qing would take off her suit, change into comfortable loungewear, go into the kitchen, tie on an apron, and begin preparing dinner.

Wang Cheran, like a happy little bird, hovered around him, helping him wash vegetables, chop and prepare them, and handing him the necessary seasonings. She chattered about the interesting things she saw at the company that day, or shared some of the discussions she had heard about Wanxiang.

Jiang Qing was mostly a listener, occasionally shaking her head and laughing at her interesting descriptions, or giving a few simple explanations about the technical issues she mentioned.

After dinner and tidying up, Wang Cheran would gravitate towards Jiang Qing.

Or they might snuggle together on the sofa watching TV, with her almost entirely nestled in his arms.

Or you could lean against him and listen to him tell you interesting stories about the technology field.

Sometimes we simply do nothing at all, just quietly lean against each other and enjoy the tranquility after a busy day.

Jiang Qing also quite enjoyed her unreserved dependence and entanglement.

Wang Churan always showed her enthusiasm to him without reservation. Her wholehearted attitude was enough to satisfy any man's desire to be needed and admired.

In addition, in Binhu Shuangxi, the sofa in the living room, the desk in the study, the carpet in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and even the kitchen island that is bathed in morning sunlight... many corners bear the marks of their intimate and romantic moments.

Time slipped away quietly in this fulfilling and regular life, and before we knew it, it was the last day of January.

That evening, Jiang Qing and Wang Churan, as usual, finished their day's work and drove back to Binhu Shuangxi together.

The car came to a stop, and the two got out and headed for the elevator.

Wang Cheran was excitedly telling Jiang Qing about the interesting things that happened at the company that day, speaking at a brisk pace.

"That Engineer Liu from the R&D department is really something else. He gets all red in the face when he argues, but as soon as the meeting ends, he's all over people, arm in arm, pulling them aside to discuss technical issues..."

Jiang Qing listened with a smile to her sharing and watched her vivid little expressions.

He was the first to push open the door and enter, bending down to change his shoes.

His gaze casually swept across the entryway, but when he looked toward the living room, he suddenly stopped.

In the center of the living room, a red figure sat prominently on the sofa.

She crossed her arms over her chest, her bright and beautiful face framed by pouting rosy lips. Her large, exquisitely made-up eyes were fixed on him, her expression clearly showing annoyance.

At this moment, Wang Churan followed Jiang Qing into the house, changing her slippers while talking.

"So, you know, STEM guys can be pretty cute sometimes..."

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly noticed that Jiang Qing's movements had stopped and that the atmosphere was strange. She subconsciously looked up and followed Jiang Qing's gaze into the living room.

When her gaze fell on the face of the red figure in the center of the sofa, she was stunned for a moment.

Who else could be sitting on the sofa but Meng Ziyi?

She was clearly dressed up carefully today.

Wearing an eye-catching red halter-neck mini dress, her skin appeared as white as snow. The hem of the dress draped down to her upper thighs, outlining her tall and graceful figure, with a tempting cleavage subtly revealed at her fair chest.

Two long, straight legs were elegantly crossed, and she wore a pair of high-heeled sandals in the same color scheme.

Her shoulder-length short hair was styled in a fluffy and fashionable way, and her makeup was exquisite, especially her full lips, which were painted with bright red lipstick. She looked radiant and dazzling, like a blazing flame.

At this moment, Meng Ziyi also turned her gaze to Wang Churan, coldly sizing her up.

Wang Churan was only stunned for a moment before a bright, unreserved smile spread across her face, and she greeted him in a familiar tone.

"Mengmeng! What brings you here? When did you arrive? You didn't even tell me beforehand!" The tone was natural and warm, as if she had just suddenly met an old friend she hadn't seen in a long time.

However, seeing her acting as if nothing had happened, and especially seeing her going home with Jiang Qing so naturally after get off work, Meng Ziyi's anger flared up even more!

She just finished filming "Shangyuan Jinxiu" this morning, and without even attending the wrap party, she rushed to catch a flight to Luyang.

Wang Cheran's post on WeChat Moments on New Year's Eve, and the innocent-looking emoji that followed, really infuriated her. She's held a grudge about it ever since!
Seeing Wang Churan's reaction, Meng Ziyi secretly curled her lips, thinking to herself that this brat had a good mentality.

At the same time, she subconsciously began to observe the other person's attire.

Wang Churan was dressed in a low-key black business suit today. Because she was going to the company with Jiang Qing, her attire was very conservative, and her makeup was very simple, which contrasted sharply with the fiery red halter dress she had specially chosen.

Hmph~ I'm still prettier!

With a slight pout, Meng Ziyi shifted her gaze from Wang Cheran and refocused it on Jiang Qing, who was still standing in the entryway.

This jerk of a man is both lovable and infuriating!

Meng Ziyi stood up from the sofa, and in her high heels, she rushed to Jiang Qing in a few quick steps. Without saying a word, she buried her face in his chest, wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, and pressed her face against his chest.

"Jiang Qing! You womanizing bastard!"

She raised her face, looked up at Jiang Qing, her beautiful eyes filled with grievance, her voice both coquettish and reproachful, revealing a strong sense of accusation.

"Tell me! What's going on between you and her? Why did she come back with you? You even brought her home for the New Year! I haven't even met your parents yet! I'm going to bite you to death!"

Jiang Qing was knocked back half a step by her. He looked down at the girl throwing a tantrum in his arms, a hint of helplessness on his face, but no annoyance in his eyes. Instead, he smiled.

He reached out and gently patted her back, soothing her in a gentle tone.

"Alright, Mengmeng, stop fooling around. Didn't I explain to you before that Chu Ran's family is abroad? It would be so lonely for her to spend the New Year alone, wouldn't you say?"

"But you can't...you can't just let her into the house!"

Meng Ziyi persisted, clutching Jiang Qing's shirt collar with her fingers, continuing to vent her frustration.

"You already have me, and Tongtong... and... humph!"

She was about to speak when she thought of Zhou Ye, a pang of guilt crossed her mind, and she didn't continue. She just let out a loud snort to express her dissatisfaction.

Seeing her jealous expression, Jiang Qing knew that she had to appease her.

He leaned close to her ear and whispered soothingly in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Don't be angry, sweetie. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you."

Meng Ziyi felt his warm breath brushing against her ear and heard his gentle tone. Her anger subsided by half, but she still pouted, pretending to be reserved.

"Who cares if you cook..."

Although he said that, his tone softened considerably.

Jiang Qing chuckled to himself as he saw her softened attitude.

This girl is so easy to coax, and after her experience with Tongtong last time, she is obviously more accepting of Churan than others.

He glanced at Wang Churan standing to the side, and a thought struck him.

"You guys chat for a bit, I'll go to the kitchen to see what ingredients we have and prepare dinner."

As he spoke, he gently pushed Meng Ziyi away from his embrace slightly, gave Wang Churan a "I'm leaving it to you" look, and then turned and walked towards the kitchen, leaving the living room to the two girls.

Meng Ziyi watched as Jiang Qing slipped into the kitchen, paused for a moment, then stomped her foot in dissatisfaction, but didn't chase after her.

She turned her head and her gaze fell on Wang Cheran again. Seeing that she still had that smiling look on her face, she couldn't help but cross her arms again, let out a soft hum, and raised her chin slightly, striking a pose that said, "I'd like to see what you have to say."

Wang Churan knew Meng Ziyi's personality all too well.

I know she has a temper that comes and goes quickly, and she's a little willful and arrogant, but she's not a bad person. She's just straightforward and can't keep things to herself.

Seeing her like this, Wang Churan didn't care at all. Instead, he took the initiative to walk forward, affectionately took Meng Ziyi's hand, and led her to sit down on the sofa.

"Okay, Mengmeng, don't be angry~ Have you eaten? Are you tired from the journey? How's filming 'Shangyuan Jinxiu' going? Has it wrapped up yet?"

He posed a series of questions, his tone both concerned and natural.

Meng Ziyi was pulled to sit down by her. Looking at her affectionate smile and listening to her caring words, the remaining anger in her heart could no longer be expressed, but she still pretended to be indifferent on the surface.

"I came here right after filming wrapped up, and I haven't even had a meal yet."

The tone was firm.

"That's perfect. He's gone to cook. You know his cooking skills better than I do. Eat more later."

Wang Churan smiled and replied, then picked up an orange from the coffee table, peeled it skillfully, and handed a segment to Meng Ziyi.

"Try it, it's quite sweet."

Meng Ziyi subconsciously took it and put it in her mouth, the sweet juice spreading in her mouth.

She chewed on an orange, looking at Wang Churan. The awkwardness in her heart finally eased a lot, but she still couldn't help but ask a question.

"Hey, tell me the truth, what's the situation between you and Jiang Qing? You've been at his house the whole Chinese New Year?"

Wang Churan looked at her curious yet slightly resentful eyes, smiled, and instead of answering directly, asked her a question in return.

"Mengmeng, what about you and him? How far have things gone?"

Meng Ziyi was momentarily speechless at the question, a hint of unease flashing across her face, before she quickly regained her composure.

"I...of course I...I was first!"

"Yes, yes, you were first."

Wang nodded readily, then handed over a segment of orange, her tone slightly like she was coaxing a child.

"So Mengmeng, please don't be angry with me anymore. You're the older sister, you always have been, and you always will be. Be magnanimous, okay?"

She spoke half-truthfully, but her eyes were sincere.

Hearing her show of weakness, Meng Ziyi felt a little strange, but seeing how good her attitude was, the slight resentment in her heart gradually dissipated.

She wasn't the type of person to hold grudges for long, especially against close friends.

"I've always been your older sister..."

She muttered something under her breath, then took the remaining orange from Wang Cheran and popped it into her mouth, as if accepting her reassurance.

In the kitchen, Jiang Qing took ingredients out of the refrigerator while keeping an eye on the activity in the living room.

Hearing the two girls' conversation gradually become more peaceful, and even occasionally a few soft laughs, he smiled slightly.

He shook his head and began to focus on the ingredients in his hands, thinking about how to cook more of their favorite dishes tonight.

In the living room, Wang Churan and Meng Ziyi chatted about recent gossip in the entertainment circle, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

Jiang Qing suddenly wondered how she should sleep tonight, or... um?
