Chapter 1127: Chapter 441: Fake Ling
The sky outside the window was dark, the city’s neon lights illuminating the night sky.
“Tap tap tap—”
The sound of keyboard typing was particularly clear in the quiet room.
Liu Qingning’s fingers paused on the keyboard, then continued typing:
“In our high school, it was a closed boarding system. Starting from the second semester of the first year, he often brought me some fruits and snacks, saying that his family sent them to him and he couldn’t finish them.”
“Later, I found out that he secretly bought them with his own living expenses, which often left him hungry. His family’s financial situation was quite average, but you know how young boys care about their image at that age. I just pretended not to know and slowly started having meals with him.”
Liu Qingning: “At that time, I was very popular in school, and the cafeteria ladies took good care of me. Every time I went to get food, I’d get more food than others, one serving was enough for both of us.”
…
Liu Qingning looked at the time, it was already past ten o’clock. She sighed softly and typed: “It’s already so late without realizing, sorry for taking up so much of your time, let’s stop here for today, goodnight.”
[Wen Ruan: “Goodnight, thank you for your story. He never told me about this.”]
After closing the laptop, Liu Qingning sat in the chair, her gaze somewhat out of focus.
Only the slight hum of the air conditioner and her somewhat heavy breathing remained in the room.
By the time she snapped out of it, her eyes were already damp with tears.
She raised her hand to wipe the tears away, stood up, and paced to the floor-to-ceiling window.
The night view of Shen City Bay was still dazzling, the distant lights reflected on the sea like a scattering of diamonds on black silk.
She let out a long sigh, as if trying to breathe out all the knots in her chest.
Tang Song had been away from Shen City for 20 days.
She had been with Qingning Technology for half a month now.
This recent period was indeed her busiest days, and she deliberately immersed herself in work.
She needed this period to settle herself, to cool down from anxious emotions.
It wasn’t until tonight, having a little free time, walking alone by the sea for two hours, that she mustered the courage to add Wen Ruan on WeChat.
The main reason for telling Wen Ruan about her past with Tang Song was to first eliminate the hostility in the other’s heart, for easier future interactions.
She wanted to know the Tang Song in Wen Ruan’s heart, and she wanted to explore the stories that happened between them.
If possible, she still wanted to try to win back her Tang Song.
Apart from interacting with Wen Ruan emotionally, she would also delve deeper into Qingning Technology, striving to become a true manager.
After working for this period, she finally truly understood the full picture of this company.
It could be said, she was greatly shocked.
This company was the core achievement of Smile Holdings’ AI strategic plan launched in 2018.
Acquiring 12 AI technology companies globally, completing technical integration in 2020, and formally establishing Qingning Technology in Shen City.
Today, Qingning Technology boasts a formidable team of scientists, 12,000 AI patents, equipped with supercomputing clusters and a quantum computing lab, with technical strength enough to disrupt the entire industry.
However, at present, Qingning Technology mainly serves enterprises and has not exported many application products externally.
And being backed by Smile Holding, Meditation Capital, and TY Precision, it completely doesn’t need financing, nor has it ever had a specific valuation.
So its social reputation is not very prominent, far from being as high-profile as OpenAI.
But based on the multimodal omnipotent engine effect she has seen, she can be 100% certain that in 2024, the AI field will be overturned by Qingning Technology’s technological achievements.
This will be a trillion-dollar future.
Every time she thought about this moment, she would be boiling with enthusiasm.
Although it’s not yet publicly disclosed, she knows Tang Song holds 3% equity in Qingning Technology, which will be an unimaginable asset in the future.
She hopes to help Tang Song gain his rightful interests in this process.
She also hopes they can walk together.
Clenching her fists, Liu Qingning turned and headed towards the bedroom.
Clenching her fists, Liu Qingning turned around and strode towards the bedroom.
…
September 8th, 2023, Friday, overcast turning to light rain, 24~26°C.
In the morning, when Tang Song opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Lin Muxue’s exquisite and sculptural face.
The distance between them was only a few centimeters, audible breaths.
Staring at her face for a moment, Tang Song lowered his head, kissed her cheek, and swiftly got out of bed, with a charming smile on his face.
Just then, a crisp system notification sound rang in his ear.
“Ding! Congratulations Player, the halo effect has been activated, and you have triggered an extra critical hit reward.”
“Ding! You have obtained a special item [Attractive Man’s Throat Lozenge].”
Tang Song instantly broke into a beam with joy.
Speaking of which, it has been more than 50 days without triggering a critical hit, with a 2% probability, it was indeed due!
With light steps, he headed to the walk-in closet, opened the system warehouse, and checked the reward details.
