"Brother Jiang Cheng, you go ahead, I'll leave later.
Because of excessive drinking, Major General Xiang Dong slurred his words a bit while greeting Jiang Cheng, and then turned back to chat with the two leaders.
Jiang Cheng didn't reply much, just smiled, then got into a prearranged Audi car and returned to the Sheraton Hotel.
And just like that, the night passed.
As for the reporters who had intercepted Jiang Cheng at the Sheraton Hotel for interviews earlier, they were thrilled and had already published the articles they wrote after interviewing Jiang Cheng.
The next day, Jiang Cheng got up very early in the Sheraton Hotel.
As usual, after waking up, he went to have a decent breakfast and then started browsing some news on his Transparent Phone.
Huh, why are there so many news articles about my interview? Did those reporters publish them yesterday?" Jiang Cheng looked at a news notification on his Transparent Phone, clicked it open, and found that social media platforms like Tieba and Weibo were flooded with news about his interview.
Wangyi News: "Yesterday, we were fortunate to interview Mr. Jiang Cheng, the developer of the smog-curing bacteria. Due to his research achievements, many people surely admire him, and residents of northern cities might even feel grateful to him. Generally speaking, smog-curing bacteria is the largest breakthrough in smog control since the 21st century and a killer solution to the smog problem, with epoch-making significance.
Regarding the invention of smog-curing bacteria technology and Qing Tengsu technology, Mr. Jiang Cheng, chairman of Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company, we at Wangyi News are also honored to have conducted an interview with him, and below is a summary of the interview content."
Reporter: "Mr. Jiang Cheng, what changes do you think your development of smog-curing bacteria will bring to the world?"
Jiang Cheng: "I feel that the smog-curing bacteria I developed is the most meaningful achievement in the biochemical field this year. The structure of the smog-curing bacteria itself has very distinct differences from the structure of bacteria in today's biological world. It uses toxic particles as the nutrients it needs for growth, and sulfur dioxide as the raw material needed for respiration, which can offer significant reference points for research on microorganisms globally.
As for solving the smog issue, I personally think the achievement of the smog-curing bacteria is more meaningful." Wangyi News' report, using objective language, pointed out the significance of smog-curing bacteria for smog control very rationally, and even speculated on the positive impact its promotion would have worldwide.
Logically speaking, if this article had merely casually recounted the ordinary interview content, it wouldn't have caused much of a stir, at most just attracted some attention because of Jiang Cheng.
But unexpectedly, this report actually made the installation count of Wangyi News on various mobile app stores increase by an order of magnitude.
The reason lies in the mischievous remarks Jiang Cheng made during the interview.
As for solving the smog issue, I personally think the achievement of the smog-curing bacteria is more meaningful.
I don't have the time, nor the interest to accept any Turing Award.
These two sentences are filled with a strong sense of pretentiousness, much like Ma Yun's previously mocked online statement, "The biggest mistake of my life was creating Alibaba," or a certain tycoon's statement, "Young people can set a small goal first, like earning a billion," which suddenly went viral.
Although Jiang Cheng might not have thought much when he said these two sentences, merely expressing what he felt, in the eyes of those internet jokesters, these two sentences were not just ordinary words, but two "words of wisdom" spoken after Jiang Cheng's success.
The first is, "As for solving the smog issue, I personally think the achievement of the smog-curing bacteria is more meaningful." This fundamentally negated the public's idea of the success of the smog-curing bacteria's development.
From Jiang Cheng's words, they can understand that the essential meaning of this sentence is: solving the smog issue is a simple matter with minimal significance.
Whereas the smog-curing bacteria developed to solve the smog issue itself is far more important, serving as a specimen for numerous microbiologists worldwide to study diligently, and a source material for research around the clock, with extremely significant implications for the development of microbiology.
The second is: "I don't have the time, nor the interest to accept any Turing Award." This fundamentally negates the existence of the Turing Award, seemingly somewhat disdainful of the Turing Award committee, and further implies Jiang Cheng's contempt for what is considered the Nobel Prize in the field of computing: the Turing Award, causing who knows how many researchers in the field to grind their teeth in anger.
That's the Turing Award, the most sacred award in their minds, something many computing experts are eager to win, often pursuing a subject just for a nomination, yet Jiang Cheng can't even find the time to accept it, and additionally, he's uninterested. Is there anything more pretentious than this?
After many media outlets or push notifications reported Jiang Cheng's interview, a "Jiang Cheng effect" quickly swept through, as Jiang Cheng is not only handsome but also undeniably a genius, with many people following him closely. Now his interview content has exploded onto the scene, naturally garnering countless people's attention.
There was even a Jiang Cheng meme that appeared on Tencent's chat software Q-Q, with the base expression taken from when Jiang Cheng was being interviewed.
At that time, even though he was rushing to the Diao Xie Tai National Hotel, his expression remained extremely calm, yet his words carried a decisive tone, making it perfect for creating memes. Coupled with his two extremely pretentious remarks, they filled Q-Q groups and daily chat conversations with a series of memes about him.
As for 'Your mother sells you out,' I personally think considering whether you lack love has more meaning."
As for borrowing money from you, I personally think considering whether you can avoid borrowing has more meaning.
As for your ugliness, I personally think my handsomeness has more meaning.
Various memes appeared on major chat software and social media platforms, and the term "Jiang Cheng quotes" undoubtedly became the hottest topic at that time again.
It's only the second day, but because of the intense attention on Jiang Cheng, his memes have already gone viral, and although they didn't excessively alter his handsome face, they still made him a bit embarrassed.
Seeing a report that also featured his meme and was even edited with two ears added as a spoof image, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but laugh.
