Full charm points, inherit game assets

Chapter 712 Coming-of-Age Ceremony, Kidnapping
8:40am.

Shenzhen, Qianhai Free Trade Zone.

The morning sun on a winter morning, with its unique clarity that comes with the bay, bathed the futuristic building complex in its light.

The plaza outside the Future Convention Center in the core area of ​​the Innovation Center is bustling with activity and lively sounds.

Financial journalists and tech bloggers from all over the world, armed with all sorts of cameras and microphones, stood ready.

In the center of the square, a huge LED spherical screen is playing a visually striking promotional video for the "Next Generation Smart Hardware Ecosystem Summit".

The dazzling light and shadow effects attracted many people to stop and watch.

Along both sides of the road, rows of holographic projection display boards with a futuristic feel stand tall.

Above is a concept image of the first generation of AR smart glasses from [Xuanji Light Realm], as well as a grand vision for the future spatial computing ecosystem.

At the entrance of the venue, staff members dressed in uniform dark blue uniforms were well-trained and were guiding the guests from various countries who were arriving one after another in an orderly manner.

Several black luxury vans, guided by security personnel, slowly pulled up in the VIP drop-off area, which was covered with a red carpet.

“Click—click—”

The car doors opened one after another.

Ren Mingyuan, carrying his briefcase, was the last to get off the bus.

He straightened his sharp suit and tie, looked up, and gazed at the magnificent, modern, and well-designed buildings around him, a sense of awe welling up within him.

This is the famous Tangyi Precision Innovation Base.

A mecca that brings together a large number of top-tier technology companies that have been incubated or strategically invested in by Tangyi Precision.

From [Guangyan Technology], which is developing next-generation LiDAR, to [Chuangqing Semiconductor], which focuses on consumer-grade chips, and now to [Xuanji Optical World], which is being given high hopes...

Every name here represents the forefront of the industry.

As someone who has worked in the technology industry for many years, I am very happy to be here in person to participate in such a top-level summit that brings together the world's leading wisdom and resources.

He was naturally extremely excited.

The group met at the end of the red carpet.

Led by Chairman Wang Le'an, they walked along the VIP passage toward the strictly security-checked C2 entrance.

As soon as Wang Le'an and his group appeared, many familiar entrepreneurs who had also chosen to arrive at this time greeted them with smiles.

They greeted him warmly.

"Chairman Wang! It's been a long time! You look better than ever!"

"Haha, Mr. Li, you're the same!" Wang Le'an laughed heartily and shook hands with the other party firmly. "The last time we met was at that semiconductor industry forum in Chuncheng, right? It's been almost half a year in the blink of an eye."

He patted his handsome son Wang Yubo on the shoulder and introduced him: "Yubo, this is Mr. Li Xiangdong from the well-known memory chip company [Huaxin], Mr. Li."

Wang Yubo immediately stepped forward and bowed slightly. "Mr. Li, hello. I am Wang Yubo from the Intelligent Manufacturing Division of Yuanjian Technology. I have long admired your name."

"Yu Bo, right? I've heard Chairman Wang mention him several times. He always says that like father, like son, and he's truly a promising young man with a handsome appearance!"

"You flatter me, Mr. Li. I still have a lot to learn from you and other senior colleagues."

……

Amidst the greetings and entourage of the crowd.

Wang Le'an, accompanied by his son, chatted and laughed all the way through the security checkpoint of Guest Channel C2 and entered the magnificent and futuristic venue.

Signing in, receiving guest badges, taking group photos in front of the summit backdrop...

Amidst the flashing camera lights, reporters' questions rose and fell.

"Chairman Wang, has your company also brought any new project collaborations to this summit?"

What are your views on the future prospects of AR smart hardware?

"The AR industry is at a golden inflection point before its explosive growth, and [Xuanji Light Realm] is undoubtedly the most noteworthy core variable. We, [Yuanjian Technology], have deep experience in precision manufacturing and supply chain management, and we very much hope to have the opportunity to participate in the future ecosystem construction of [Xuanji Light Realm] and contribute our own strength."

……

The spacious and bright main hall was bustling with people.

Throughout the venue, there are technologically advanced display booths showcasing the latest technological products from Tangyi Precision and its ecosystem partners.

From industrial machine tool models with nanometer-level machining precision to medical robotic arms capable of performing high-precision sterile surgery, and flexible screens that can be bent and folded at will…

Each exhibit represents the cutting edge of the industry, attracting many guests to stop and watch, and to exchange quiet conversations.

Industry leaders, top investors, media reporters, and energetic entrepreneurs mingled together.

This creates a bustling yet sophisticated panorama of life.

Wang Yubo stayed close to Wang Le'an throughout, interacting and exchanging pleasantries with business partners and his father's network of contacts.

He always wore a composed and appropriate smile, handling situations with ease.

She perfectly plays the role of an excellent successor.

Ren Mingyuan, who was following at the very back, seemed somewhat reserved.

He would occasionally chime in with a comment, but mostly remained silent.

The reason he was qualified to enter through the VIP channel with a big shot like Wang Le'an was entirely because of Wang Yubo.

Back when Winwin Technology was in its Series A funding round, the first entity they contacted was the strategic investment department of Yuanjian Technology.

What they valued was the industrial resources that [Yuanjian], as a leading domestic supplier of intelligent manufacturing equipment, could bring to them in the upstream supply chain.

Wang Le'an also had a positive outlook on the future of the smart home industry, so he made a bold move and had his son, who was seeking to prove his independent capabilities, personally lead the investment in [Win-Win Technology].

This is one of the few personal investment experiences that Wang Yubo can show off to the outside world.

This time, whether [Win-Win Technology] can successfully obtain the official ecological cooperation qualification with [Xuanji Light World] depends entirely on the coordination, introduction and endorsement of [Yuanjian Shares].

In return, he would need to play the role of a straight man at the social reception following the summit, highlighting and emphasizing the young master Wang's wise decision and unique vision in this investment.

If we fail again this time...

The performance-based agreement signed with the Series B investors may indeed trigger the buyback clause.

In the end, these founding team members who signed personal joint liability guarantee agreements will have to pay a heavy price for it.

He simply couldn't afford to lose.

Thinking of this, Ren Mingyuan's heart involuntarily quickened.

Just then, a slight commotion came from not far away.

From the discussions of those around me, I could vaguely hear keywords such as "Xuanji Light Realm" and "Ecological Strategy Department".

Zhao Qihang, the strategic vice president of Yuanjian Group who had been keeping a close eye on the surroundings, immediately stepped forward and came to Wang Le'an's side.

He whispered a reminder: "Chairman Wang, Yu Bo, the people from [Xuanji Light Realm] have arrived."

Wang Le'an's eyes sharpened, and he looked in the direction of the sound.

A team of men and women, dressed in suits, walked out of the C2 entrance. They exuded a powerful aura and all looked like industry elites.

The leader was an Asian man who looked to be around forty years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and had a calm and capable demeanor.

"Mr. Zhao, what is this...?" Wang Yubo asked in a low voice.

Zhao Qihang explained, "The person leading the group is Michael Chen, the newly established director of the Ecosystem Strategy Department at [Xuanji Light Realm]. He is an American of Chinese descent and the former head of strategic partnerships for Google Greater China. He was just poached by Tangyi Precision last month. The people next to him should all be employees of the Ecosystem Strategy Department."

He is the Vice President of Strategy, and before this summit, he had thoroughly researched the backgrounds of all the key figures.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yubo and Ren Mingyuan's hearts jumped.

Ren Mingyuan, in particular, suddenly became breathless.

The Ecosystem Strategy Department is, without a doubt, responsible for communication and cooperation within the software ecosystem.

This was the most important and desired target of his trip.

He looked at the group of people who were the center of attention, his eyes filled with eagerness.

However, he also knew that, given his status, if he rashly stepped forward in this situation, he probably wouldn't even be able to exchange a few words, let alone have an in-depth conversation.

His gaze involuntarily drifted to Wang Yubo beside him.

Wang Yubo immediately understood and whispered, "Chairman Wang, this is a rare opportunity. Why don't Mingyuan and I go over and get to know Director Chen?"

Wang Le'an pondered for a moment, his gaze lingering on Michael Chen for a few seconds.

Finally, she slowly nodded: "Alright. Let's go say hello together."

[Yuanjian Technology] Although the main goal of this visit was to discuss cooperation in the hardware supply chain, the future software and hardware ecosystem will inevitably be deeply integrated, and we will have to deal with this department sooner or later. It is always good to establish contact in advance.

Moreover, he knew that his son alone wouldn't carry much weight.

You might even say the wrong thing because of your youthful arrogance and offend people instead.

Upon hearing Wang Le'an's agreement, Wang Yubo and Ren Mingyuan both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They followed closely behind Wang Le'an and Zhao Qihang, waiting patiently until the group of people who had been exchanging pleasantries with Michael Chen dispersed, before they quickly walked up to him.

"Director Chen, hello." Zhao Qihang stepped forward proactively, his face displaying just the right amount of enthusiasm and respect, and extended his hand first. "I am Zhao Qihang from Yuanjian Group. We met briefly at an industry cocktail party in Silicon Valley before. I wonder if you remember me. This is Mr. Wang Le'an, the chairman of our Yuanjian Group."

"Hello, Chairman Wang, General Manager Zhao, it's a pleasure to meet you." Michael spoke fluent Chinese with a standard business accent, and politely shook hands with them. "I've seen your company's data, and Yuanjian's strength in the field of precision manufacturing is impressive."

"Director Chen, you flatter me." Wang Le'an greeted him in return. After exchanging a few pleasantries about the summit arrangements, he gestured to the two people behind him.

Wang Yubo immediately stepped forward and gave a smooth self-introduction.

Ren Mingyuan followed closely behind, respectfully handing over his business card with both hands, bowing slightly, his tone full of respect.

A female employee following behind Michael's eyes flickered almost imperceptibly after hearing the names Wang Yubo and Ren Mingyuan.

He then looked down, picked up his phone, and quickly sent a message.

Ren Mingyuan seized the opportunity and began to concisely and highlight the layout and technological accumulation of [Win-Win Technology] in the field of smart home, as well as the huge potential for cooperation with the [Xuanji Light World] ecosystem.

Michael listened patiently, nodding occasionally, his manner polite but always maintaining a professional distance, without showing any obvious interest or commitment.

Seeing this, Wang Yubo quickly chimed in, trying to emphasize the potential industrial synergy that the cooperation between the two parties might bring from the perspective of Yuanjian Group.

Wang Le'an, on the other hand, was intentionally observing his son's performance and did not interfere in the matter. He simply listened quietly with a deep gaze.

Two minutes later, the atmosphere became slightly awkward.

During their conversation, the young female employee standing behind Michael suddenly stepped forward and gently reminded him, "Director Chen, President Shen has already arrived at the venue."

“Okay.” Michael’s expression immediately became more solemn. He turned to Wang Le’an and the others, and smiled apologetically. “Excuse me, Chairman Wang, General Manager Zhao. Our leader has arrived, and we need to go over and meet with her immediately to report on our work.”

"Oh?" Wang Le'an's eyes flickered, and he asked casually, "May I ask which senior executive from the [Xuanji Light Realm] has arrived?"

Michael smiled. "This is our new Chief Ecology Officer, Mr. Shen, who is also the direct supervisor of our Ecological Strategy Department."

Upon hearing the title of "Chief Ecosystem Officer," the expressions of Wang Le'an, Wang Yubo, Ren Mingyuan, and others present all changed slightly.

In the organizational structure of modern technology companies, the Chief Ecosystem Officer is usually a core executive at the SVP (Senior Vice President) level. They can report directly to the CEO and even have direct access to the board of directors.

Especially at today's summit themed "ecology," the importance and influence of the Chief Ecosystem Officer of [Xuanji Guangjie] are self-evident.

For these supply chain and application companies eager to enter the [Xuanji Light Realm] ecosystem, this General Manager Shen undoubtedly holds immense initial screening and recommendation power.

Ren Mingyuan's heart leaped into his throat, his breathing became more rapid, and his eyes were filled with tension and anticipation.

The summit lasts for three days, but real opportunities for cooperation and negotiation often come in the closed-door meeting or through targeted invitations on the third day.

At this moment, if we could get to know the Chief Ecosystem Officer of [Xuanji Light Realm] beforehand, even if it's just to become acquainted with her and hand over the project information of [Win-Win Technology] to her, we would undoubtedly gain a huge advantage.

An opportunity is right in front of you!
Wang Yubo took a deep breath and said, "Director Chen, if it's convenient for you to introduce us to this General Manager Shen?"

Michael raised his eyebrows, about to refuse.

The female employee next to him suddenly smiled and said, "This is also the first time that Director Chen is meeting President Shen in person, so he may not be very familiar with him yet. How about... I take you all over? I am Zhou Li from the administrative office of [Xuanji Light Realm], and I happen to be in charge of receiving Director Shen at this summit."

"Oh? That's wonderful! Then I'll have to trouble you, Ms. Zhou!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yubo was overjoyed and immediately gave the understanding female employee what he considered to be a charming and bright smile.

He felt good about himself, believing that his handsome appearance and status as the heir to Yuanjian Group had won the favor of this young female employee, who was willing to help him.

Ren Mingyuan clenched his fist tightly, his face showing barely suppressed excitement and anticipation, and his gaze towards Zhou Li was filled with gratitude.

Seeing that Zhou Li had taken the initiative to handle the matter, Michael Chen didn't say anything more, but simply nodded noncommittally.

The group followed Zhou Li through the bustling crowd and headed towards the pre-meeting exchange area near the entrance of the main hall.

Before we even got close, we saw that the place was already packed with people, and several reporters from top domestic financial media outlets were standing on the perimeter, holding microphones and recording pens.

"Mr. Shen, could you please tell me the specific technical requirements and cooperation process for [Xuanji Light Realm]'s proposed open ecosystem cooperation?"

"As the newly appointed 'Chief Ecosystem Officer,' could you share your views on the future ecosystem of deep integration between AI and AR hardware?"

The surroundings were somewhat noisy, and flashes of light went off from time to time.

Through the gaps in the crowd, one could see the back of a slender, elegant woman surrounded by a crowd in the center.

Ren Mingyuan paused slightly, feeling for some reason that the figure seemed strangely familiar.

However, he didn't think much of it. After all, this was a critical moment for him, concerning the life and death of the company, and he had to be fully focused.

"Excuse me, everyone, could you please make way?"

Zhou Li spoke politely, and with her status as a staff member and her skillful techniques, she led Wang Le'an and the others smoothly through the crowded throng to the innermost core area.

At close range, the figure that had previously only been glimpsed became much clearer.

Wang Yubo and Ren Mingyuan stared at the familiar curved outline and were both stunned.

This……

Just as they began to have doubts, Zhou Li stepped forward and stood beside the woman.

He bowed slightly and reported in an extremely respectful tone, "President Shen, the colleagues from the Ecological Strategic Cooperation Department have arrived."

Immediately afterwards, the woman who had been the center of attention slowly turned around.

A well-tailored women's suit, paired with a crisp silk shirt, adorned with a subtle yet exquisite diamond brooch at the collar, and a name tag signifying her identity hanging on her chest.

Her long, jet-black hair was pulled up, revealing her smooth, full forehead and graceful, slender neck.

Her fresh and pretty face was adorned with impeccable professional makeup, her eyes were bright, her expression was confident and composed, and a perfectly timed smile played on her lips.

At this moment, everyone is surrounding the moon in this atmosphere.

She exudes a unique aura that blends sexiness and beauty with power and authority.

And the moment I saw her face clearly.

Wang Yubo and Ren Mingyuan's pupils suddenly contracted, their bodies stiffening on the spot, almost unable to believe their eyes.

Shen Yuyan?! President Shen…

The Chief Ecology Officer of the [Xuanji Light Realm]?!
How can this be? !
Michael Chen stepped forward, bowed slightly, and greeted him in a tone that was a mixture of respect and probing: "Mr. Shen, hello, I am Michael Chen from the Ecological Strategy Department."

"Hello, Michael, it's a pleasure to meet you." Shen Yuyan smiled and nodded, her tone calm.

The other core employees from the ecological strategy department behind Michael also stepped forward to greet him respectfully: "President Shen!"

Shen Yuyan responded to each of them with a smile and exchanged glances.

With every gesture, the composure and understated authority befitting a core executive were on full display.

As she said, she has always been a big-game player.

The more grand the occasion, the more composed she became.

Just then, Zhou Li, who was standing next to Shen Yuyan, stretched out her arm and gestured to Wang Yubo and the others who were still standing there, "President Shen, these are representatives from Yuanjian Co., Ltd. We hope to have the opportunity to get to know you."

Wang Le'an was the quickest to react. Although he was shocked by the other party's youth, he showed no emotion on his face. "Hello, President Shen. I am Wang Le'an, Chairman of Yuanjian Group."

"Hello, Mr. Wang, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Zhao Qihang quickly stepped forward, his face beaming with smiles: "President Shen, I've long admired your name, it's an honor to meet you! I'm Zhao Qihang from Yuanjian Group."

"Hello, Mr. Zhao." After exchanging pleasantries, Wang Le'an turned his gaze to Wang Yubo and Ren Mingyuan, who were standing behind him in a daze, and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

What happened? It failed us at the crucial moment!

He had many business partners or old friends around him, and Wang Yubo's behavior made him feel very embarrassed.

Shen Yuyan also stopped talking, her gaze lightly falling on the two faces filled with shock, and the corners of her mouth slowly raised into an elegant arc.

As she moved, everyone around her turned to look.

Inquisitive and curious gazes shone upon them like spotlights.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

The color drained from Wang Yubo's face at a visible speed.

My gaze met hers from afar in the air.

He saw the emotions in her eyes.

Mocking. Contemptuous. And there's an undisguised condescension.

That was the gaze of someone in a superior position, carrying an air of condescending superiority and control.

Even at the Investors' Night in Shanghai last time, he had never felt such a humiliating blow.

But he had to admit that Shen Yuyan was indeed qualified at this moment.

Ren Mingyuan's throat tightened, his lips parted slightly, but he couldn't make a sound.

He had considered the possibility of Shen Yuyan retaliating, but his biggest concern was Rongliu Capital, a massive capital institution.

But he never expected that he would meet her here today, in this capacity.

He turned his head with difficulty and glanced at Zhou Li, who was still smiling.

I instantly realized that this was a deliberate arrangement by the junior student.

In other words... she's going to take revenge.

Thinking of this, his limbs and bones became stiff and cold.

He knew that he and Win-Win Technology were doomed.

Shen Yuyan, sitting opposite, was trembling slightly with pleasure. Goosebumps spread from her arms to her neck, and even her breasts seemed to have grown larger.

This is what it feels like to be in power!
This is the sweetness of revenge!
Wang Yubo, who once wantonly humiliated her and trampled on her dignity.

Ren Mingyuan, who once betrayed her and used her hard work as a bargaining chip to scheme against her.

At this moment, at such a top-level summit.

With just a glance from her, she could silence them like two plucked quails shivering in the cold wind.

And this... is just the beginning.

Next, you will live in endless fear.

Ren Mingyuan, your "Win-Win Technology" will soon be finished.

Wang Yubo, you're not getting away either.

...

Looking at this bizarre scene before me.

Wang Le'an, a seasoned veteran of the business world, immediately sensed something was wrong, and his face instantly darkened.

He turned his head and whispered, "Yu Bo."

His tone wasn't harsh, but it carried an undeniable authority and suppressed anger.

Wang Yubo shuddered, jolting awake from his chaotic thoughts.

I felt the piercing gazes around me.

A tremendous sense of humiliation welled up inside me.

The humiliating words he had spoken to Shen Yuyan back then now bounced back like boomerangs, striking him mercilessly.

But he knew he had to say something, otherwise...

He opened his mouth with difficulty, "President Shen..."

However, Shen Yuyan ignored him and turned around cleanly.

She gracefully straightened her suit sleeves and said in a calm and collected voice, "Excuse me, everyone, we should head to the reception desk now. It's time for the media interviews; we can't delay any longer."

After saying that, she stepped forward.

The high heels made a crisp "clack-clack" sound on the smooth marble floor.

With a distinct rhythm, it is both cold and deadly.

The crowd surrounding her immediately dispersed, following her away like a tide.

Wang Yubo and the others were left where they were.

At this moment, something deep within Shen Yuyan's heart was deeply touched.

She had always looked down on Lin Muxue.

In her eyes, Lin Muxue was all show and no substance, vain and superficial, obsessed with flaunting brand names and a glamorous exterior, just to cover up her deep-seated inferiority complex.

But when she rose from the bottom, was granted power by the Tang and Song dynasties, and truly stood on this higher dimension forged by ambition and ability, she fulfilled a certain desire in her heart.

Only then did she dare to truly confront the darkest, most unacknowledged corner of her own heart.

In fact, she and Lin Muxue are the same kind of people.

Hidden beneath the surface is a deep-seated inferiority complex and fear that is difficult to eradicate.

They used "beauty" and "success" as armor, and with diligence and desire, resisted the contempt of fate inch by inch.

Even now, she can still clearly remember many scenes from her childhood.

She remembered her father's face, which was filled with a humble smile, when he was rudely driven out of his stall at the market.
She remembered her mother, in order to recover a small debt, carrying a heavy basket of vegetables, chasing after the supplier's back as he pleaded for leniency in the pouring rain.

She remembers even more the little girl who huddled in a corner on a rainy night, listening to the adults sighing.

These deeply moving images not only influenced her values ​​but also shaped the foundation of her life.

They have an almost pathological obsession with power and being respected.

That's why she resisted those superiors who tried to use money and status to take advantage of her, hating them to the core, but lacking the courage to truly confront and scold them.

Therefore, she desperately craved Tang Song's power and security, yet at the same time hoped to be respected and valued in his presence, desperately trying to maintain her pitiful pride and self-esteem, constantly torn between these conflicting desires.

Therefore, she never dared to face her deepest longing for pure love.

For her.

This summit is not just a change of professional identity, but also a true coming-of-age ceremony.

……

The second floor, the VIP room with the best view.

The thick soundproof glass shuts out all the noise from downstairs.

Ouyang Xian Yue withdrew her gaze, a subtle, enigmatic smile in her eyes.

Secretary Chen cautiously inquired, "Ms. Ouyang, should we call Assistant Shen up to report to you on the work?"

“No need.” Ouyang Xianyue picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said, “Make a detailed record of Shen Yuyan’s performance today, as well as her words and actions at the summit, and then send it to President Tang.”

Tang Song had previously told her that this summit was a "test" for Shen Yuyan, and that she should not interfere.

Since he has spoken, she will absolutely not interfere.

Therefore, even if Qin Yingxue wanted to contact her, she wouldn't interfere.

“Okay.” Chen Jing paused, then continued, “There’s one more thing. Ms. Anne Kate is also in another lounge on the second floor. She just sent someone over to say she’d like to see you.”

"Oh?" Ouyang Xian Yue chuckled upon hearing this. "Go tell her that I'm very busy today and don't have time during the summit. If she's really sincere, she can stay in Shenzhen for a couple more days."

"clear."

Ouyang Xian Yue put down his teacup and asked casually, "By the way, when will Professor Jiang You Rong officially join the [Xuanji Light Realm]?"

"It's still uncertain," Secretary Chen replied truthfully. "Director Jin's opinion is that the specific start date and job assignment will have to wait for President Tang to make the final decision."

"I see."

Ouyang Xian Yue nodded slightly and said nothing more.

But her fingertips tapped the warm, smooth Ru kiln teacup twice, slowly and deliberately.

What truly unsettles her at this moment is her upcoming private meeting with Su Yu tonight.

Thinking about this, she found herself getting uncontrollably nervous.

Perhaps... he felt that he had ultimately let this female celebrity down.

They had known each other for many years, and their personal relationship had always been good because of their connection to the Tang and Song dynasties. She admired Su Yu's talent and perseverance, and Su Yu respected her in return.

But now, he has decided to get involved himself.

Whether the initial intention was to check and balance Jin Weixiao, or it stemmed from an irrepressible selfishness, the essence was that she was competing with Su Yu for the same man.

This was something she found incredibly difficult to talk about.

Even if it's incredibly difficult to say, she's determined to take that step.

She wanted others to know that she was also going to enter the adult entertainment industry.

……

11 o'clock in the morning.

Yancheng Normal University, faculty apartment.

The underfloor heating was on full blast, making the room warm and cozy, with a lazy, drowsy atmosphere filling the air.

Jiang Yourong, dressed in comfortable and loose loungewear, sat cross-legged on the soft shaggy carpet in the living room, leaning against the sofa.

They were watching the live broadcast on the TV screen with great interest.

On the screen was the official live stream of the "Next Generation Smart Hardware Ecosystem Summit" held in Shenzhen by Tangyi Precision.

Accompanied by majestic background music, one after another, renowned figures in the tech industry took to the stage to share their forward-looking views on future technological trends.

From Huawei executives outlining their 5G+AI integration strategy to Tencent's vice president describing the grand vision of "true interconnectivity"...

Every topic she discussed hit the nail on the head regarding her area of ​​expertise, making it a fascinating read for her.

On the low table in front of her was an exquisite fruit plate, which contained not only bright red strawberries but also several cream puffs with a rich, milky flavor.

While listening to the speeches of the bigwigs in the live broadcast, Professor Jiang would occasionally reach out and pinch a plump cream puff, then put it in his mouth.

The blissful sensation of the crispy outer layer and the cool, sweet cream bursting in your mouth is truly delightful.

She has basically completed all the handover procedures with the school, and her teaching duties for this semester have also ended.

She can now officially enter a "full-time" state and enjoy a long vacation without the pressure of KPIs.

As for the job at [Xuanji Light Realm], although the position has been confirmed, the specific start date and job details have not yet begun.

It's fair to say she's currently on a perfect "paid leave."

Very comfortable!
Of course, despite the leisurely atmosphere, deep down, things weren't entirely calm.

After so many years of comfortable, semi-comfortable life within the system, I suddenly have to return to a high-speed, elite-filled, and high-pressure top-tier technology company.

To be honest, she felt both nervous and secretly excited and expectant.

However, her official start date still needs to be finalized by Tang Song.

According to Director Jin's previous statement, "When Tang Song needs your assistance, you can go with him to complete the formal onboarding procedures, directly enter his core team, and become his confidant."

I wonder... when he will contact me?

at this time.

"Ding-dong-ding-dong-"

The doorbell rang suddenly.

Jiang Yourong propped herself up on the sofa, walked to the door, and glanced outside through the video doorbell on the wall.

He is Wang Hengbin, a new male teacher in the School of Computer Science.

He is handsome, cheerful, and reportedly single, making him very popular with female teachers and students at the college.

Moreover, they lived right upstairs from each other, and their relationship became quite good.

As she opened the door, Jiang Yourong greeted everyone with a gentle smile: "Good morning, Teacher Wang. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Looking at the voluptuous and beautiful female professor in front of him, Teacher Wang's eyes lit up, and he said warmly, "Professor Jiang, are you free at noon? I'd like to invite you to lunch."

Jiang Yourong paused for a moment, then smiled somewhat embarrassedly: "What a coincidence, Teacher Wang. I'm currently on a diet, and I plan to make myself a simple low-fat meal at home for lunch. I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself if I eat out."

Teacher Wang was clearly well-prepared, explaining with a smile, "Actually, I prepared this Chaoshan beef hot pot at home myself. I'm from Chaoshan, so this is my specialty. The beef tenderloin was freshly cut this morning, and the beef balls are also handmade, so they're very authentic. Eating beef is mainly about getting protein, and we're eating it the traditional way, so it's light and healthy, and you don't have to worry about calories."

Chaoshan beef hot pot?! Hanging tenderloin?! Handmade beef balls?!

Jiang Yourong's eyes lit up.

This is one of her favorite things!
She's been eating low-fat meals a lot lately in order to lose weight, because she's really craving them!

The beef is so tender it melts in your mouth, and the broth is sweet and nourishing…

Just thinking about that taste made her mouth water.

"This..." She swallowed hard, her eyes wavering, almost nodding in agreement.

"Buzzing—"

The phone I was holding suddenly vibrated.

[Tang Song: "Teacher Jiang, are you there?"]

Jiang Yourong's heart skipped a beat. She quickly looked up and said rapidly, "Oh dear, I'm so sorry, Teacher Wang! I suddenly have something very urgent to deal with! I really can't go. Next time! Next time I'll treat you! Excuse me!"

After saying that, without waiting for the other party's reaction, she slammed the door shut with a crisp "bang".

The smile on Teacher Wang's face outside the door froze instantly, her hand holding the phone hung in mid-air, and she looked completely bewildered.

house.

Jiang Yourong leaned against the door, her heart still pounding wildly.

She quickly unlocked her phone, opened the WeChat message, and replied rapidly, "I'm here!"

"Buzzing—"

The other party responded almost instantly.

Tang Song: "Teacher Jiang, I regret to inform you that your prized student, Qian Lele, is now in my hands. Come to Yanjing Tiancheng after 3 PM this afternoon to redeem her."

[Tang and Song Dynasties: Photo.jpg]

The background of the photo is a room with extremely luxurious decoration.

The subject of the photo is none other than her well-behaved and diligent student, Qian Lele.

Her sweater was deliberately pulled down to her shoulders, and her hands were symbolically bound with rope.

Her innocent and pretty face was flushed, and she was trying her best to make an exaggerated expression of horror.

Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were wide open, filled with a distress signal.

The scene is both funny and cute.

Jiang Yourong: "..."?
