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

Chapter 428 The True God Descends, Like a Wolf and a Tiger

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence, as if even the background music had been paused.

All eyes, whether on the celebrity guests sitting in the audience or the spectators in the surrounding stands, were focused on the figure who wore a simple dark suit but exuded a remarkable aura.

The next second, a deafening roar suddenly erupted!
"Jiang Qing?! It's Jiang Qing!"

"That's right! It really is Jiang Shen!"

"My God! What's he doing here?!"

"The River God! It's the River God!"

"Am I seeing things? Tell me this isn't a dream!"

"Wow, today was definitely worth it..."

The person who arrived was Jiang Qing.

When his figure was clearly projected onto the stage screen by the live broadcast director who had regained his senses, the entire Mercedes-Benz Arena seemed to have been hit by a depth charge, exploding with a deafening roar!

The stands erupted in cheers, screams, and incredulous shouts, creating a massive sonic torrent.

Many audience members even jumped up from their seats in excitement, craning their necks and waving their arms, trying to get a better look.

The originally orderly scene was thrown into a frenzy by Jiang Qing's unexpected appearance.

After a brief pause, the live stream comments erupted like a volcanic eruption, densely packed and almost completely obscuring the screen.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Who did I just see?!"

"Jiang Qing?! Why is he at Weibo Night?! There wasn't a single word about it beforehand!"

"Holy crap! What a huge loss! I should have stayed up all night to vote and go to the event!"

"Ahhhhh! Jiang Shen! The living Jiang Shen!"

"Help! How could he come! There was no prior warning!"

"What a spectacle! Weibo Night really won big this time! They actually managed to get this big shot involved!"

"Cao Guowei personally went to greet him! What kind of treatment is this? Is there any other celebrity in China who receives this kind of VIP treatment?"

"Hey, wake up! That's Jiang Qing, not your idol! He's a tech giant who's chatting and laughing with Jack Ma, Pony Ma, and Li Keqiang!"

"Exactly, it's an honor for Weibo that they can come. Isn't Cao Guowei's attitude clear enough? His face is all smiles!"

"Wow, he looks absolutely stunning in that suit! How can such a simple style look so elegant on him!"

"This scene is even more exaggerated than the appearances of those so-called top celebrities before!"

"Nonsense! Just think about Wuwen Technology's current valuation! He could become Asia's richest man at any time!"

"Forget about men supporting women, this is the true descent of a god!"

"Wow, he's so handsome and tall in person, amazing..."

The shock wasn't limited to the audience at the venue and netizens watching the live stream; it was equally intense among the celebrity guests.

The celebrities, producers, and directors in the front row, no matter how big their names were, all had surprise on their faces at this moment. They started whispering among themselves, and the murmurs spread quickly.

"Jiang Qing? What brings him here?"

Liu Yifei's eyes widened slightly, and she subconsciously adjusted her skirt.

She recalled her brief interaction with Jiang Qing at a previous Penguin event, but back then, although he was also a remarkable tech upstart, he was far less influential than he is now, where a casual gesture can attract worldwide attention.

If I had known, I should have been more proactive back then.

Yang Mi's red lips parted slightly, quite surprised. Then, a glint flashed in her fox-like eyes as she raised her hand to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear and smiled charmingly.

This is truly a moving treasure trove!

Hu Ge and Liu Sisi, who was beside him, exchanged a glance and saw the same surprise in each other's eyes.

Why is this person here?

Huang Xiaoming had already adjusted his expression, revealing a warm smile, ready to step forward and greet everyone at any time.

Although he had always taken the initiative to befriend Jiang Qing and valued his future, he never expected that Jiang Qing could achieve this level in such a short time; it was simply astonishing.

Fortunately, he maintained a good relationship with the other party.

Sitting in the back row, Tian Xiwei covered her mouth the moment she saw Jiang Qing's face clearly. Her big eyes were filled with unbelievable surprise, followed by a hint of resentment, and she couldn't help but mutter under her breath.

"You scoundrel! You came without even saying a word!"

A knowing smile flashed across Li Yitong's crescent-shaped eyes. She gently nudged her with her elbow and teased her in a low voice.

"Hey, Tian'er, your husband's pulling a surprise attack."

Tian Xiwei blushed and gently bumped her arm.

"What do you mean, 'my man'... that's not it!"

But her big, blinking eyes, fixed on Jiang Qing, had already betrayed her true thoughts.

Li Yitong smiled slightly, and seeing her self-deceiving appearance, she didn't tease her any further.

Her gaze shifted to Jiang Qing's direction, her crescent-shaped eyes shimmering with tears.

This little brother is indeed mischievous.

Wang Churan gripped her skirt tightly with her hands on her knees, and the moment Jiang Qing appeared, she lost all composure, her face filled with surprise.

She gazed at Jiang Qing, who was surrounded by Cao Guowei and others. Her chest heaved violently, and a burning light surged in her eyes. She tried her best to remain calm, but her slightly trembling lips betrayed her inner excitement.

Zhang Jingyi was also surprised by Jiang Qing's sudden appearance. She was stunned at first, then her pupils widened in surprise, and the corners of her lips unconsciously turned up. Her whole person seemed to be instantly lit up.

That guy is really something, he didn't let a single word out.

So you've almost finished with what you're currently doing?
Have some free time?
Dilraba appeared to be the most composed, casually tossing her hair and looking curiously towards the entrance, just like many others present.

However, only she knew how many beats her heart skipped when Jiang Qing appeared.

She had to exert every ounce of her strength to maintain that proper appearance.

They hadn't seen each other for a long time. Last month, she had an event in Luyang, but Jiang Qing was busy meeting with his superiors, so she could only sensibly avoid bothering him.

I'm so happy to see him here now.

Hu Lianxin, who was sitting in the sixth row, straightened her back almost instantly, and her eyes became extremely ardent.

She gazed at the figure surrounded by admirers, then suddenly remembered something. She quickly checked her outfit before relaxing and revealing a confident smile.

She was thinking to herself how she should please Jiang Qing if he needed her to serve him today.

This is so sudden; I didn't bring any of the battle outfits I bought before...

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, each with their own thoughts, Jiang Qing smiled and walked to the front row, accompanied by Cao Guowei and others.

Wherever it passed, it was like Moses parting the sea.

Whether they knew him or not, the artists around him all stood up, their faces showing respect, flattery, or admiration, and bowed to greet him.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang!"

"Mr. Jiang, I have long admired your name!"

Good evening, Mr. Jiang!

Jiang Qing nodded in response to each one, her attitude was easygoing and she had no airs at all.

Even so, he still made everyone who greeted him feel an invisible pressure.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

The name Jiang Qing is no longer just a simple name.

It represents the power at the very top of the pyramid!

Just then, someone in the audience reacted first and shouted at the top of their lungs.

"The Cycle of Destiny!"

This sound was like lighting a fuse, immediately triggering a chain reaction.

"Li Xun! Look here!"

"Look, Princess! Zhu Yun is there!"

"The Cycle of Destiny!"

The cheers grew louder and louder, and many audience members stood up excitedly, pointing to where Zhang Jingyi was.

Jiang Qing paused slightly, following the direction of the sound, and glanced with a smile at the bustling audience. Then, his gaze swept across the crowd and landed precisely on Zhang Jingyi, who was sitting in the fifth row.

Across the throng of people and the flashing lights, their eyes met in mid-air.

Their eyes met, and they both saw a hint of amusement in each other's eyes, as if they had been teased.

Zhang Jingyi's face broke into a big smile, and her eyes, which fans call "eyes that know how to love," were sparkling as if they were filled with starlight.

She raised her hand and waved playfully at Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing also smiled, a smile that was more genuine and gentle than the polite one she had given earlier.

He also raised his hand and waved in Zhang Jingyi's direction.

"Wow—!" This interaction instantly pushed the atmosphere to another climax!
The cheers almost pierced the sky.

The live stream chat went absolutely wild!

"Aaaaaah! They interacted! They interacted!"

"The Destiny Ring is real! The after-sales service is so sweet!"

"Li Xun and Zhu Yun appeared together at the Weibo Night event! I'm so happy!"

"The way Jiang Qing looks at Zhang Jingyi! So gentle!"

"Wow! They have such great teamwork!"

"I could ship this couple for another ten thousand years!"

"A tech giant and a rising star—I've already imagined a whole idol drama in my head!!!"

"The Fateful Ring is too sweet..."

Amidst the uproar, Jiang Qing calmly withdrew her gaze. Her eyes swept over the direction where Tian Xiwei, Wang Churan, Li Yitong, and Dilireba were, without lingering for a moment. It was so quick that it seemed like an unintentional glance, and no one except them noticed.

But Tian Xiwei and Wang Churan couldn't help but feel a little envious when they saw Jiang Qing and Zhang Jingyi's perfectly synchronized interaction.

Tian Xiwei pouted and muttered softly.

"What's there to be so smug about?"

His voice was full of resentment.

Wang Cheran lowered her eyes, concealing the fleeting gloom in them, and clenched her hands on her skirt even tighter.

Li Yitong and Dilraba both remained calm. Li Yitong had long seen through it all, while Dilraba was good at hiding her emotions.

Jiang Qing was led by Cao Guowei to the right section of the first row, where she sat down in the empty seat next to Cao Guowei's own seat.

Jiang Qing had already instructed us to keep a low profile.

Even if he tries to be discreet, Cao Guowei can't possibly actually seat him in a seat behind the first row.

Everyone then realized that the much-anticipated empty seat was actually reserved for Jiang Qing!

Many people were puzzled when they noticed that Cao Guowei wasn't sitting in the Central area today, but now the answer is finally clear.

As soon as Jiang Qing sat down, he seemed like a giant magnet, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Even the stage lights seemed to dim a bit because of his presence.

As soon as he sat down, Liu Yifei, Yang Zi, Huang Xiaoming, and others who were not far from him stood up and came over to greet him.

"President Jiang, I didn't expect to see you here."

Liu Yifei spoke gently, with just the right amount of politeness, yet without appearing distant, and her smile was generous and appropriate.

"Teacher Liu, it's been a long time."

Jiang Qing stood up, gently shook hands with her, and smiled warmly.

Huang Xiaoming seemed much more familiar with Jiang Qing, warmly patting her shoulder and speaking in a teasing tone like an old friend.

"President Jiang, it's been quite a while since we last met!"

Jiang Qing turned her gaze to him, her smile becoming more genuine.

"Brother Xiaoming, it has indeed been a while since we last met."

He had always had a good impression of Huang Xiaoming. The other party was very good at maintaining appropriate boundaries and had been showing goodwill since their first meeting. He also took good care of Zhou Ye and Zhang Ruonan during the recording of the show.

When it was Yang Zi's turn, she had a bright smile on her face, but her demeanor was more reserved than usual.

Although she got to know Jiang Qing through Meng Ziyi and they were considered friends, she still couldn't help but feel a little reserved now that their statuses were worlds apart.

"Mr. Jiang... Hello. It's been a long time."

They even subconsciously used honorifics.

Jiang Qing noticed her unease and took the initiative to tease her in a lighthearted tone.

"Teacher Yang Zi, it's been a while, have we gotten a little estranged?"

Yang Zi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her smile became much more natural.

"Hey... isn't it because you, President Jiang, are here at such a high level that I'm naturally nervous?"

Jiang Qing smiled and gave her a light tap.

Seeing that he hadn't changed much from before, Yang Zi finally relaxed and grinned.

As they were talking, Reba stepped forward.

"Mr. Jiang, hello, it's nice to see you again."

She extended her hand proactively, her smile bright, revealing no flaws whatsoever.

"Yes, Teacher Reba is still as charming as ever."

Jiang Qing grasped her hand, and in the instant their eyes met, he quickly glanced at her attire and gave her a meaningful look.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Jiang. I am truly honored."

Reba remained expressionless, but she tightened her grip on his hand slightly, lightly scratching his palm with her fingertips before releasing it and gracefully withdrawing her hand.

These subtle actions were carried out discreetly and naturally, and no one knew about them except themselves.

However, Yang Mi, who had been keeping an eye on Dilraba, noticed their interaction.

I didn't see the movements, but I could clearly see the exchange of glances.

She greeted Jiang Qing after Reba, smiling broadly.

As soon as she turned around, Yang Mi couldn't wait to lean close to Reba's ear, her foxy eyes gleaming with gossip, and she lowered her voice.

"Honey, is something going on between you and Jiang Qing? Hmm?"

Reba's heart skipped a beat, but she pretended to be clueless.

"Sister Mi, what are you talking about? What could possibly be going on between me and President Jiang?"

Yang Mi looked her over with a half-smile, his eyes conveying a "I don't believe you" attitude, his smile mocking.

"Really? But just now I felt... the way you two were exchanging glances was a little different."

Dilraba tried to remain calm, her smile feigning ease.

"You've got it wrong, Sister Mi! He's someone from the farthest reaches of the world, what could he possibly have to do with me?"

Yang Mi smiled and didn't press further, but her knowing look told Reba that she definitely didn't believe her.

On the other side, Tian Xiwei watched Jiang Qing surrounded by people chatting and laughing from afar, and pouted unhappily, muttering to herself.

"Hmph, they're really living the high life..."

Li Yitong couldn't help but smile, and leaned close to her ear to tease her in a whisper.

"What? Tian'er, aren't you going to go say hello to your [ordinary friend]?"

Tian Xiwei's face flushed, but she stubbornly continued to argue.

"No way! Who wants to say hello to him! He didn't even tell me he was coming!"

Looking at her contradictory expression, Li Yitong's crescent-shaped eyes narrowed into slits, and she smiled like a cat that had just stolen some fish.

She knew Tian Xiwei too well; this girl probably secretly wanted to pounce on her.

At this moment, Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan, who were sitting not far away, were feeling extremely uneasy.

Their fans had previously launched a large-scale smear campaign against Jiang Qing. Although their team tried their best to distance themselves and apologize afterward, Jiang Qing's side did not explicitly express forgiveness, which caused their resources to be damaged during that period, and many of their jobs were also affected.

Upon seeing Jiang Qing in person, both of them felt a chill run down their spines, fearing that Jiang Qing might still remember their old grudges. Their gazes towards him were filled with awe and unease, and they both shrank back, trying to minimize their presence.

Almost everyone at the scene was paying attention to Jiang Qing, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

He was constantly surrounded by whispers and murmurs, a mix of emotions including excitement, curiosity, envy, and awe.

The female celebrities present exchanged glances, their eyes filled with undisguised longing as they looked at Jiang Qing.

When a person's wealth reaches a certain level, it comes with a filter.

After all, Teacher Ma has people praising his good looks, and a group of people are vying to call him "Dad".

Let alone Jiang Qing?
Looking at the ravenous eyes of the female celebrities on the scene, as if they wanted to devour Jiang Qing whole, Wang Churan and the others couldn't help but feel a strong sense of vigilance.

This man was too dazzling, like a giant magnet, attracting all the attention and covetousness of those around him.

It's really worrying!
Amidst the lively atmosphere that had been boiling over due to the river's tilt, time quietly ticked towards 7:30.

The stage lights suddenly dimmed, leaving only the stage area illuminated.

As the rousing opening music began, the grand ceremony was about to officially commence.

Only then did everyone's attention finally shift from Jiang Qing back to the grand ceremony that was about to begin.

However, everyone knew in their hearts that no matter what awards were presented tonight, no matter who performed on stage, the figure sitting in the front row was destined to be the most eye-catching uncrowned king of Weibo Night tonight.

His unexpected appearance had already stolen all the limelight.
