Since we are both reborn, of course I would choose the rich woman!

Chapter 157: Lu Yao's Secretary (6k subscription required)

The bright and soft moonlight was like a piece of light and thin gauze, falling on Lin Yongzhen's equally bright and fair skin.

The two most beautiful things in the world complement each other at this moment.

But this quiet beauty was ruined by the criss-crossing scars on Lin Yongzhen's back.

Between the two beauties, the scars make Lin Yongzhen's back look like a loess plateau washed by rain for thousands of years, or like an ancient battlefield that has experienced thousands of years of wind and frost. The quiet beauty thus reveals a sense of solemnity and faint sadness.

Lin Yongzhen lay beside Lu Yao, showing the scars on her back openly: "It's ugly, isn't it?"

Lu Yao smiled and said, "No."

These scars on Lin Yongzhen's back are like the cracks on ice-crack porcelain, or the damaged armless Venus sculpture. The originally flawless objects have become more worthy of appreciation due to the acquired defects.

Lu Yao spoke slowly while stroking the scar on Lin Yongzhen's back.

Lin Yongzhen smiled faintly: "I understand why there are so many women around you. It's really comfortable to get along with you."

Lu Yao never felt disgusted with Lin Yongzhen because of her past. He was only wary of her because of her identity and intelligence. This vague vigilance made Lin Yongzhen feel more respected.

Lin Yongzhen closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, mumbling, "I put all my earnings in the first half of my life into Rong Zong, so Rong Zong was confident in leaving me by your side."

Lu Yao raised his eyebrows: "About how much?"

Lin Yongzhen gave an exact figure: "1,674,918,571, plus stocks of 16 companies and 31 properties."

Lu Yao smiled and said, "You remember it very clearly."

Lin Yongzhen turned sideways and looked at Lu Yao: "You don't seem very surprised."

Lu Yao pouted and said, "I'm a little surprised. How could there be so few?"

There are only 31 properties. For someone of her level, she should have at least 31 kilograms of property certificates.

Lin Yongzhen turned over and said with a smile: "These are all my own. I have also told Rong Zong everything else I know. By the way, Rong Zong also said that he would give me a new identity. What do you think my name should be?"

Lu Yao smiled and said, "I think Lin Yongzhen sounds pretty good."

Lin Yongzhen smiled and said, "Actually I don't like this name, but if you like it then I will continue to use it."

It’s no wonder that Lin Yongzhen is such a powerful woman.

She is really good at using all kinds of details to bewitch people. There is even a special term for this kind of people called "emotional hacker", which means that they will use various techniques to hack into other people's emotional systems and continuously increase their own weight in other people's emotional systems.

Through observation over the past few days, Lu Yao discovered that Sister Wang was getting better and better to Lin Yongzhen, and their relationship seemed to be getting closer and closer.

The heartache Sister Wang showed when she occasionally looked at Lin Yongzhen was obvious.

Therefore, she should have opened her wounds and shown them to Sister Wang again. Even tonight, Lin Yongzhen had been trying to hack into Lu Yao's emotional system.

If a boy of similar age to Lu Yao had come here, he would have been seduced by Lin Yongzhen.

Lu Yao propped his head up with his arms and said softly, "Then do me a favor."

Lin Yongzhen replied: "You say."

Lu Yao: "Don't use tricks on me. If you really want to stay with me, be honest and truthful. If you wear a mask for too long, it will grow into your flesh and blood."

Lin Yongzhen was silent for a moment this time, and then he sighed: "I apologize to you for too long, it has become a habit."

After saying that, she showed a somewhat sad but well-behaved smile: "I will pay attention next time."

Tsk~
Lu Yao felt a little annoyed watching Lin Yongzhen's performance. Even though he had ten years of experience studying abroad and had met many people and even more ghosts, he couldn't tell whether this woman was acting or not.

He couldn't understand why Rong Nianqing wanted to keep her by his side.

After several thoughts flashed through Lu Yao's mind, he said, "Okay, you should go back to the bedroom. It will be embarrassing if Sister Wang wakes up."

Lin Yongzhen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sister Wang is sleeping soundly."

Looking at her smug little expression, you can tell that she must have some tricks to help you sleep.

The plot was heading in an unspeakable direction. It also made Lu Yao more wary of Lin Yongzhen.

So when Lin Yongzhen put her arm around Lu Yao's shoulder again and asked him if he really wanted her to go back, Lu Yao firmly gave an affirmative answer.

Looking at Lin Yongzhen's tall and graceful back, Lu Yao couldn't fall asleep, so he took out his phone and sent a message to Rong Nianqing: "Are you asleep?"

After a minute or two, Rong Nianqing didn't reply.

Lu Yao continued to send messages: "Wake up."

"I can not sleep."

Two minutes later, Rong Nianqing sent a message back: "???"

"You can't sleep so you come to disturb me?"

"Aren't the two of you at home enough to chat with you?"

Rong Nianqing was quite grumpy when she woke up, but this was a natural reaction as she and Lu Yao became more familiar with each other, so it was a good thing.

She quickly adjusted herself and sent a message asking, "What's up so late?"

Lu Yao asked, "I don't understand why you put Lin Yongzhen on my side. I have to be on guard against her all day long. It's very tiring."

Rong Nianqing replied: "You don't have to guard against her, she wants to retreat."

Lu Yao understood that many things cannot be achieved overnight just because you want to advance, and it is even more difficult to retreat overnight if you want to. Both advancement and retreat require timing and measure.

With Rong Nianqing's affirmative reply, Lu Yao felt relieved and understood Lin Yongzhen's true intention.
——Advance, retreat, and then hide.

Perhaps one day in the future, on a sunny afternoon, Lin Yongzhen will just wrap herself in her most commonly worn coat and go out, and never come back again. This kind of interpersonal relationship where the ending is known in advance is quite sad.

Lu Yao replied to Rong Nianqing: "I'm fine, you go to sleep."

Rong Nianqing didn't reply to the message, probably because he was still trying to fall asleep.

……

Ever since Lu Yao and his team took the initiative to make a show of force, the situation in Shangnan has become turbulent. These are information that ordinary people simply cannot know. Every day, Rong Nianqing would copy a briefing that had already been made public in the circle.

Under Rong Nianqing's operation, many bigwigs have voluntarily confessed many things to save their lives after being captured, and even recovered a large amount of overseas development funds.

Thanks to the information provided by Lin Yongzhen, Rong Nianqing and his team made smooth progress, and could even be said to be unstoppable.

Days passed, and Lu Yao continued to work from home. It was not until more than 20 days later that Rong Nianqing finally sent a message: "Are you free today? I'll pick you up and have a chat."

Lu Yao has been bored at home for so long that he can't wait to go out for a walk: "I have so much free time."

Rong Nianqing quickly drove her shiny black MPV to the downstairs of Lu Yao's residence. When they finally got in the car, Lu Yao said with a refreshed look, "Let's go to an open area and do it instead of staying in the house."

May in Shangnan is just the right time of the year. The temperature has warmed up significantly, but it is not too hot. Everywhere you go, you can see flowers blooming and birds singing.

Lu Yao has been staying in the house for more than twenty days, watching the scenery of Shangnan gradually turn green.

Rong Nianqing also understood and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go sit by the river."

Taking Rong Nianqing's MPV, Lu Yao followed to a teahouse by the Shangnan River. On the terrace overlooking the river, Lu Yao lay in a comfortable chair, feeling the gentle breeze by the Shangnan River and the bright but not hot sunshine. He seemed to be slowly recovering his vitality.

Rong Nianqing was watching from the side and secretly laughed: "It seems that you have been holding it in for more than 20 days."

Lu Yao let out a long sigh: "You called me out today, is it because you have figured out the matter of Shangnan?"

Rong Nianqing shook her head: "We have the advantage, but it is not easy to kill the centipede completely. The remaining cleaning work will still take some time."

"I know you can't stay in the house anymore, so I found something for you to do."

Lu Yao asked: "What's the matter?"

Rong Nianqing raised her wrist and glanced at it: "It's almost time, they should be here too."

Not long after she finished speaking, a man and a woman came towards Lu Yao together. The man and woman were wearing formal and even old-fashioned suits, and they were obviously official people.

Rong Nianqing stood up and shook hands with the other party, then introduced them to Lu Yao: "These two are from the National High-tech Development Group. This gentleman is Wang Shan, and this lady is Lu Xiaoyi."

After introducing Lu Yao, Rong Nianqing introduced the two people: "This is Lu Yao, and he wrote the plan."

Wang Shan, one of the two men and women, immediately came over and shook hands with Lu Yao enthusiastically. "Mr. Lu, I read your business plan. Although it does not involve specific technologies, the framework is far-sighted. Many people in our group found it enlightening."

Wang Shan exudes the aura of a science and engineering man, so he is particularly enthusiastic towards Lu Yao.

Lv Yao couldn't stand the enthusiasm of the academic community and said with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment. I just have some rough ideas. I don't have any idea about the technical details."

Wang Shan said with emotion: "Technology is easy to study, but imagination is hard to come by. Many technologies that have had a profound impact on modern times originated from a wild idea."

Lu Yao is not a scientific researcher. Wang Shan said it seriously, but I don’t know if he believes it from the bottom of his heart or if he is just complimenting him for the sake of Rong family’s face.

Seeing this, Rong Nianqing came out and said, "Let's sit down and talk in detail."

The young girl, Lu Xiaoyi, also smiled and said, "Yes, everyone should sit down first."

Sitting back at the table, Lu Yao took the initiative to pour tea for the other three.

Lu Xiaoyi clinked his hands on his teacup and said thank you, then smiled and said, "Boss Lu, Boss Rong gave us the plan, and our team thought it was very feasible after reading it, so we have a proposal."

"For this project, President Rong and we will jointly invest. President Rong will invest 50%, we will invest 30%, and President Lu will invest 10%."

Lu Yao frowned instinctively.

But Lu Xiaoyi immediately said, "Although you have contributed the least, you, Mr. Lu, will be responsible for the implementation of the specific project. So you will own 30% of the shares in the company, and you will be responsible for the specific affairs. Mr. Rong will own 50% of the shares, and we will only own 20%."

"In addition, we can provide everything you need, but the premise is that we have the exclusive right to use any results of this matter in the future, and you are not allowed to authorize others to use them without our consent."

This was expected. Lu Yao's plan not only detailed the application of AI in daily life in the future, but also detailed the impact of AI on future battlefields and even the international situation.

There must have been research on these things.

But in 2014, let alone the prospects of AI, even the AI ​​models were still in the stage of confusion and exploration.

The budget invested in this area is actually not that much.

Anyone who has been in charge of a household knows that money is needed for everything in daily life. Food and drink cost money, and going out costs money. Even if you just stand there and don’t understand anything, there are still various costs that are sunk.

If this is the case for a family, what about the situation for a country?

Under the premise that the prospects are unclear and even the direction of scientific research is a bit confused, the proportion of domestic investment in AI research is actually very small, especially since a large number of people still believe in the creed that "it is better to buy than to make".

Lu Yao's plan is equivalent to pointing out a specific scientific research direction for this project.

As for why Lu Yao was asked to take the lead, it is actually easy to understand.

First of all, this plan was made by Lu Yao, so he must have a clearer understanding of the direction and stages of this thing than anyone else.

Secondly, Lu Yao is on Rong Nianqing's side. With Rong Nianqing's background as endorsement, many problems are easy to solve, and coordination between different departments can be smoother.

Never underestimate the importance of taking the lead.

Many large companies have strong market foresight, money, resources and talent, but they are prone to failure no matter what they do.

Just like the behemoth Baidu, its market acumen is unique. Whether it is food delivery, group buying, short videos, or driverless cars and AI, they are able to perceive business opportunities ahead of the market and invest real money in research and development.

But every time Baidu finds the right opportunity, it always fails to break out.

The reason for this is not because Baidu lacks technology, funds or talents, but because they lack a true navigator and are unable to break down the barriers of departmental walls, so many things are delayed again and again and ultimately come to nothing.

Meituan has Wang Xing, so Meituan is Meituan.

Pang Donglai has Yu Donglai, so Pang Donglai is Pang Donglai.

The most important person in a group often determines the genes of this group. That person is also the greatest asset of the group. This is the so-called "man proposes" and it is also what people often say "it is easy to get thousands of soldiers but difficult to get a good general".

Although Lu Yao doesn't understand technology, he has a future-seeing cheat, so he knows better than anyone what to do in what time period.

Lu Yao knows better than anyone whether AI has a future and what the future is like. It is precisely because he has seen the dawn of the future that he is the most determined person.

Rong Nianqing felt this determination from Lu Yao and helped Lu Yao convey this determination, which led to the arrival of Wang Shan and Lu Xiaoyi.

When Wang Shan and Lu Xiaoyi arrived here, it meant that the matter was basically finalized, and even the equity ratio was carefully calculated by them.

Sitting here and talking with Lu Yao now is just to give Lu Yao face and make Lu Yao feel that he is involved, and the conditions offered by Wang Shan and Lu Xiaoyi are indeed generous enough.

So after listening to it, Lu Yao smiled and said, "I have no objection to this."

Lu Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Then let's go back today and draft a contract for the specific matters of the joint venture. When it's done, please review it together."

Rong Nianqing and Lu Yao nodded together: "No problem."

Lu Xiaoyi looked at Rong Nianqing and Lu Yao: "Well, do you two have any ideas for the name of the company?"

Rong Nianqing looked at Lu Yao.

Lu Yao also looked at Rong Nianqing.

Rong Nianqing smiled and said, "How is Hua Zhi?"

This is the usual way of naming in their family.

Lu Yao thought for a moment and smiled: "This sounds too purposeful. How about calling it Internet News?"

Rong Nianqing laughed and said, "Why does it feel like the name of an Internet communications company? And this name should have been registered."

Lu Yao said: "We just want to give the outside world a wrong impression. We also want to announce to netizens that we are conducting research in the field of communications, and in essence, AI is an integrated and intelligent way of communication."

Wang Shan nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Rong Nianqing thought for a moment and said, "Then let's call it 'Huada Network News'. This one probably hasn't been registered."

Lu Yao also agreed: "That's it."

Lu Xiaoyi had no objection at all. She would not object even if the name was called "Cybertron Technology".

After noting this, Lu Xiaoyi put away his briefcase and said, "Mr. Lu's plan stated that the future AI array will not only need to consider issues such as data storage, heat dissipation, and computing power, but will also require a massive amount of energy as a supply."

Lu Yao nodded and said, "Yes, the end of the AI ​​volume is about energy."

In fact, the domestic energy supply is not insufficient, and Guodian will become the enterprise with the best and most complete security in the future.

However, the energy required to train AI is still huge, and even requires the energy supply of an entire region. The energy consumption given by Lu Yao is very expensive considering the electricity generated in 2014.

However, the demand for energy does not need to be met immediately. Lu Yao only said in the plan that there should be enough room for expansion for the future AI center.

It was obvious that the team members brought by Rong Nianqing had carefully considered and studied Lu Yao's plan.

This time, Wang Shan said, "According to the business plan you gave me, there are not many places in China where such AI centers can be built. We have listed some places for you to review."

As he spoke, Wang Shan took out a document that listed many alternative AI center data construction centers.

For example, Tara Beach in Qianzhou Province and Qingzhou Province, Luoma Lake in Suyu City, Bulk Province
After comprehensive consideration, Lv Yao pointed to Luoma Lake in Suyu and said, "I personally think this place is more suitable."

In fact, the most suitable place is Taihu Lake, which is developed enough and has a large pool of talent, but there is already a top-secret project under construction there.

Lu Yao had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and build an AI data center in the north of Bulk Province.

Although it is located in the north, the land price in Suyu is very cheap at this stage, and it is not far from the talent concentration areas in the country. As long as the salary is high, there will still be many people willing to come here to work. Moreover, in a few years, high-speed rail will be built in Suyu, making travel between the north and the south very convenient.

Being close to Luoma Lake can provide sufficient heat dissipation conditions for the server room.

The most important thing is that Suyu is very close to Lianyun City, and Lianyun has sufficient energy supply.

Wang Shan smiled and said, "Actually, that's also my favorite place."

Lu Xiaoyi smiled and said, "After we finish discussing the specific site selection and other matters, we will update you on the information."

Rong Nianqing followed up and said, "You better hurry up. Our CEO Lu has been very bored recently. You should take them away from Shangnan as soon as possible."

After leaving Shangnan and staying with Lu Xiaoyi, Lu Yao no longer had to worry about his safety. He could also take this opportunity to implement the preliminary construction of the AI ​​center.

Lu Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Then let's hurry up here."

After seeing off Lu Xiaoyi and Wang Shan, Rong Nianqing and Lu Yao returned to the terrace.

Rong Nianqing said: "That Wang Shan will be the technical director of the AI ​​Center in the future, and Lu Xiaoyi will be the supervisor of the AI ​​Center."

Lu Yao asked: "Miss Lu's background is not simple, right?"

Rong Nianqing asked back: "How did you figure that out?"

Lu Yao said with high emotional intelligence: "You have an extraordinary demeanor."

Rong Nianqing smiled speechlessly. This guy really has the ways of the world ingrained into his bones.

She admitted, "This is very important. If you have someone like Lu Xiaoyi working with you, many communication problems will become simpler. If Lu Xiaoyi can't solve it, then come to me."

"By the way, Xiaoxi will go with you. I can't leave, and she can represent me."

Lu Yao was amused. Was he afraid of being bullied?
He smiled and said, "Thank you. By the way, you said before that Lin Yongzhen is fine. She also asked me to be my secretary. What do you think?"

Rong Nianqing smiled and said, "If you want to hire her, then hire her. This is your problem."

After saying that, she stood up neatly and said, "Let's go back. I'll take you there."

Lu Yao chased after him and asked, "What about Sister Wang after I leave? Will she continue to stay at home?"

Rong Nianqing smiled and said, "After Xiaoxi goes out with you, Sister Shu will move to Xiaoxi's house and live with me."

Lu Yao: "You really have been living with Xiaoxi all this time."

Rong Nianqing asked back: "I think it's very convenient."

……

Following Rong Nianqing's car back to Sister Wang's apartment, Lu Yao couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. When he knew that he was about to leave the apartment, his mood finally improved a lot.

While having dinner together in the evening, Lu Yao announced at the table that he had hired Lin Yongzhen as his personal secretary.

Sister Wang had no objection to this. Instead, she looked at Lin Yongzhen with satisfaction. It was obvious that they had had very in-depth and frank communication during the days they slept in the same bedroom.

Then Lu Yao said, "I will probably have to leave Shangnan in a few days to do other things. Ayong, you come with me."

Sister Wang immediately raised her eyebrows.

Lu Yao looked at Sister Wang and smiled, "Then you will move to Xiaoxi's place and live with President Rong for a while. You should try your best to eat, live and travel with President Rong. If President Rong goes out for business, you should wait for him to come back and pick you up."

There is no problem with security at Huasheng Life Plaza, and there is no problem with security at Gan Xiaoxi and Rong Nianqing's residence, so as long as Sister Wang follows Rong Nianqing closely, safety can be guaranteed.

Rong Nianqing is such an insightful person that he will definitely take Sister Wang's emotions into consideration, and occasional entertainment is definitely necessary.

Even if you can't take care of it, there will be someone following you.

Lu Yao gave her a lot of instructions, and the little bit of emotion that had just risen in Sister Wang's heart immediately disappeared without a trace. In addition, the current situation was quite special, so Sister Wang showed an understanding smile: "Yes."

"I'll wait for you to come back."
