"Could it be that... you like me?"
... ...
Recalling the dialogue behind the scenes, Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and touched his nose, then put his hands on the steering wheel.
"Master, why am I so charming?"
He forced himself to hum, but then his expression became embarrassed again. He reached out and turned on the music in the car, trying to hide the embarrassing emotion in the noise.
That girl Xia Shiyu's face is very thin, and it's the kind of thin skin that can be broken by a poke. Even if you always have a cold face, temperature and thickness are completely different things...
The atmosphere at that time was a bit subtle. The girl's mouth was half open and closed, completely sluggish, and the expression on her face was obviously shaken.
However, at this moment, an untimely phone call came, and the loud ringtone of the mobile phone broke the delicate atmosphere. Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then took out his cell phone and prepared to hang up. Xia Shiyu had come to her senses at this time, then quickly passed by Jiang Chen with her head lowered and escaped out of the door.
... ... Well, maybe the call came at the right time, otherwise he really didn't know how to get out of the situation.
To be honest, he himself didn't know what his attitude was towards that girl Xia Shiyu. Well, although I had imagined her in my mind a long time ago, I don't seem to have any thoughts about it now.
Maybe the mentality has changed
Jiang Chen shook his head, getting rid of those weird thoughts in his mind.
Just then, the phone suddenly rang again.
After a pause, a wry smile appeared on his face.
There was no point even hanging up the phone at this moment, so he sighed, pressed the connect button, and then hung up the Bluetooth headset.
However, the voice coming from the other end of the phone made him stunned again.
Wang Zhiyong
... ...
All in all, Jiang Chen is now driving to the home of Wang Dehai, the municipal secretary and committee member of Wanghai City. The old man whose life he saved wanted to invite him to dinner to express his gratitude.
However, the timing of the call was very particular. The call came right after the press conference, which made Jiang Chen feel unnatural. But since it was an invitation from the City Secretary and Secretariat, and it saved his life, it probably wouldn't be a bad thing. So he just muttered a little in his heart, and then drove the car honestly.
The environment is very elegant, and there is nothing particularly luxurious, but this level of greenery is definitely rare in Wanghai City. The security guard at the door seemed to be a retired veteran. It could be seen from the vague and chilling air on his body that this guy should have retired from the border area.
It can be seen that the identities of the people living in this community are not simple. Even if you are rich, not everyone can be a neighbor of the city secretary, right
After parking the car downstairs, Jiang Chen walked upstairs and knocked on the door.
The door opened quickly, and what came into view was a young and beautiful face.
"Are you here? Come in quickly, my mother wants to thank you." Wang Xinran smiled at Jiang Chen.
"Huh? Don't you live on campus?" Jiang Chen smiled and looked at Wang Xinran with some surprise.
"Today is Saturday. Could it be that Chairman Jiang is so busy that he can't even remember the date?" Wang Xinran said with a playful smile.
Uh, I'm not at work anymore, I really can't remember.
As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Chen was warmly received. He was so flattered that he felt a little embarrassed. After all, although he was saving people in the first place, his motives were not very simple. But no matter what his starting point was, he finally got Wang Dehai back from the Lord of Hell.
In addition, what surprised him the most was that the old man Wang Dehai was different from the kind of silent and high-ranking official in his impression. There is no majesty in his movements, as if he is just a kind old man, an elder of the Wang family. After meeting Jiang Chen, he called him "Xiao Jiang" very affectionately. And Jiang Chen was also very polite and directly addressed him as Uncle Wang.
Wang Dehai's wife is a kind-hearted old lady who enthusiastically serves Jiang Chen, a junior. This actually made him feel a touch of home after having been wandering for many years.
Wang Zhiyong is also very interesting. He kept dragging Jiang Chen to drink at the dinner table, but he drank himself down because of his poor drinking capacity. Then he started talking nonsense when he was drunk, and his sister helped him to the room where he snored. .
He can be regarded as a person of temperament. Jiang Chen still has a good impression of this kind of person who doesn't play dirty tricks.
As for Wang Xinran, she is quite lively. She had been asking about Future Man 1.0, and told Jiang Chen that he had topped the list of the top ten outstanding alumni of Wanghai University, becoming the youngest person to ever top the list.
It's just that this kind of list is only for the circle and has little influence. Which student is interested in things like the school newspaper now
In response to her question, Jiang Chen did not reveal any special news, and basically said the same thing as mentioned in the press conference.
In addition, although he was talking to Wang Xinran, it was Wang Dehai's reaction that he secretly observed.
What is this political boss’s attitude toward Future Man 1.0
support? Or keep it

After dinner, Wang Dehai called Jiang Chen to his study.
"Sit wherever you want, don't be nervous, I just want to have a casual chat with you." How could Wang Dehai not see Jiang Chen's uneasy look, so he smiled kindly and invited Jiang Chen to take a seat.
"Haha, Uncle Wang, you're welcome." Jiang Chen smiled and sat on the sofa nearby.
At this moment, he didn't dare to pretend to be a charlatan. All the smart people in the Celestial Dynasty were in this official position, let alone high-ranking officials like Wang Dehai. If you want to fool him, the difficulty is still a bit too high. No matter how good your acting skills are, you will still show your flaws.
Just be careful and don't say too much.
However, Jiang Chen was overly worried.
Wang Dehai didn't ask much about how he cured his rabies, but just chatted with him about old memories with a smile.
"My rabies may have been branded in the 1960s. I was still young at that time, my father was beaten, and I was bitten by the dogs released by those crazy people. I remember it seemed to be on the leg. It’s such a big scar. Originally, I thought that after so many years, it would not get sick anymore, but it turned out that it still happened, haha.”
Wang Dehai also smiled and stretched out his hand to show his size.
Jiang Chen also smiled when he saw this, but did not answer.
He knew that the elderly liked to tell these stories about the past to the younger generations. At this time, just listen. What they needed was not comfort or praise, but just a silent audience.
Although he didn't know what Wang Dehai's plan was, from his attitude of treating Jiang Chen as a junior rather than a subordinate, Jiang Chen could roughly judge that the old man's impression of him should not be bad.
Later, Wang Dehai also told many things about that year, and he listened to them as stories.
Until the end.
"... Now, we are finally strong. Okay, okay, okay!..." Wang Dehai said in a recalling tone, saying "good" three times in a row, and then looked at He looked at Jiang Chen meaningfully.
The main event is here.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but secretly cheer up, waiting for the central boss to speak.
"Xiao Jiang, do you think it's feasible to apply artificial intelligence in military industry?" Wang Dehai said casually as he took a sip of tea.
really.
With almost no hesitation, Jiang Chen spoke.
"This will bring a disaster to the country and even the world." He said righteously.
"Oh?" Wang Dehai looked at Jiang Chen with slight interest, waiting for his next words.
"Artificial intelligence is not human after all. If the life and death of human beings are left to machines to decide, all it takes is one procedural error, which may lead to irreparable disaster. After all, the law cannot restrict a piece of code."
"Oh? But if artificial intelligence soldiers are allowed to go to the battlefield instead of flesh-and-blood soldiers, wouldn't this save unnecessary bloodshed?"
"No, there are definitely only a few more people who have died." Jiang Chen had a wry smile on his face.
Wang Dehai's eyes flickered slightly, waiting for Jiang Chen's next words.
Since the old man came to discuss it with himself, it was clear that there was still room for maneuver on the matter. It seemed that even the top management had not reached an agreement on this matter. After all, there are too many vested interests involved. Regardless of whether it can be realized, for example, if artificial intelligence replaces soldiers, how many LAs will have to be laid off? How many people would it take to shut him up
Not to mention domestic, I'm afraid foreign spies will have to keep an eye on him.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
"Since Uncle Wang mentioned bloodshed, I would venture to ask, does this mean that our country will have a war in the near future?"
"Of course not, but there are always clowns who do some tricks." Wang Dehai raised his eyebrows, then said lightly with a smile.
"Does Uncle Wang know what will happen if a cheap, efficient, and powerful weapon comes out?" Jiang Chen asked cautiously.
"Arms race? That is when the technical strength is equal..." Wang Dehai waved his hand carelessly.
"Then here's the problem," Jiang Chen spread his hands with a wry smile, "and I can't come up with that kind of thing at all. As I mentioned in the afternoon press conference, Future Man 1.0 is just a A program that can respond logically and operate the mobile phone on behalf of the user if the user grants permission. Just like in7, although it is easy to use, you can't expect it to operate both C and robots, right?"
"Can't we make some improvements? For example, make it compatible with the fire control system." Wang Dehai seemed unwilling to give up and asked.
"I don't know anything about these military equipment. If I want to figure it out, I'm afraid I have to start from scratch... In addition, in a practical sense, what the country needs most now is a scientist, someone who may lead the future." Where is the 'Bill Gates' of 10 years?" Jiang Chen looked seriously into Wang Dehai's eyes.
Wang Dehai should not push too hard, after all, the nominal "development team" is overseas.
While saying this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He has even begun to think that if the relevant departments want to take action against him, he will leave here and go overseas directly. There are still 400 million US dollars lying in Swiss banks, where can't we make a comeback and live happily
Wang Dehai was also staring at Jiang Chen.
But soon, the old man's eyes relaxed, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip with a smile.
"You have the same idea as me, so don't be so nervous."
Hearing these words, Jiang Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. To be honest, if the day came that he had to leave, he would really be reluctant to leave.
"As for artificial intelligence, I won't hide it from you. In fact, we have been working on it, and other countries are also working on it. Although it is not a major project, a lot of money has been invested, but no results have been achieved. ." As he spoke, Wang Dehai glanced at Jiang Chen meaningfully, "Some people even said that you should actively cooperate and hand over your technology. Do you know what I said?"
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Uncle Wang must have a far-sighted vision than them."
Wang Dehai laughed, and then looked at Jiang Chen meaningfully.
"You guys are very naughty... I told them, you are all stubborn! If you do this, who else will dare to use your technology here? You are driving all the talents away!"
There were still words left unsaid, but he understood.
Their technical team is overseas, and even if you control a person who puts it on the table, what if you force everyone outside to become an unfriendly force, or even directly provide them with higher-end technology? If it's not unique to one company, what's the use of having this technology? Comparing technology digestion speed with others
"Thank you, Uncle Wang." Jiang Chen couldn't say anything at this moment, so he could only say with a strange expression.
He didn't understand what Wang Dehai meant when he said this. Show favor to him? Who does it represent? Or is it just a return of favor
"No need to thank me, I'm not the only one who can help you. That old guy from the Zhou family is more anxious than me," Wang Dehai smiled meaningfully, then took a sip of tea, raised his head and glanced at Jiang Chen and said, "Their family is responsible for the military intelligence project, with an annual budget of 500 million."
Jiang Chen understood instantly.
Just as he guessed, even the top is not monolithic. No, in other words, they are monolithic when it comes to common interests, but once it comes to those cakes that have been divided into their own hands, the situation becomes complicated.
Otherwise, how could those relevant departments wait until he held a press conference and not take action? I'm afraid that as soon as Future Man 1.0 comes out, all the trouble will come.
Once the world's spotlight shines on it, it's too expensive to tamper in the shadows. This involves a posture issue. Now it is somewhat difficult to retain talents. If we do this again, I am afraid that we will drive away talents.
What's more, the focus now is not to be strong, but to be stable.
"I just want to ask one more thing, what is the possible value of Human 1.0 in the military industry in the future? Tell the truth." Wang Dehai looked closely into Jiang Chen's eyes. The somewhat old eyes were a bit more majestic than the easy-going one at the beginning.
Now is not the time to enter the field of military industry, which involves too many people's cakes... Jiang Chen's mind was racing, and then he quickly and firmly answered Wang Dehai, a deputy national-level cadre - Wang City Secretary and Secretary.
"zero."
Wang Dehai nodded, and then a smile appeared on his face.
"Then, in my capacity as Wanghai City Secretary and Secretary, I wish you to make great contributions to the economic development of Wanghai City! I look forward to 'Future People Technology' making even more proud achievements in benefiting people's livelihood. !”
Jiang Chen was stunned when he heard this, and then he smiled sincerely.
"must!"
Is this a hint not to reach outside the civilian realm
The old man Wang Dehai is not trying to persuade me, but testing me. I'm afraid that the Wang family and the Zhou family are wearing the same pants...
Thinking of this, even though he was confident, Jiang Chen still felt his hands and feet feel cold.
He actually dreamed of one day entering the military industry with future technology, but now it seems that he really thought too much.
Will Wang Dehai help him? He must have helped. The Zhou family didn't come to him directly at the first time, fearing that he would be involved.
But will he return Jiang Chen's favor for the common interests of the Wang family and the Zhou family? I'm afraid not, because this is no longer one person's business. I'm afraid if Jiang Chen showed a little interest in developing the military industry just now, or that there is room for imagination in the military industry for Future Man 1.0...
Wang Dehai may not know how to do anything, but that Zhou family will definitely not let him go.
At that time, should we coerce the hand over the technology and then smear it with groundless charges, or should we just do it without even bothering to get the technology...
Of course, the final result will definitely be that Jiang Chen runs away, but it is probably rare for him to come back to his hometown.
As for whether it is beneficial to the country
Haha, if you really care so much, you probably won't be so greedy.
Sure enough, all the smart people in the Celestial Dynasty are in this court.
Those who worked hard and made great achievements in ancient times died on the battlefield, while those who learned from the past and the present finally hid in Dai. If knowledge is sold to the emperor's family, the noble will be dead early.
Fool, it is better to stay away from smart people...
Jiang Chen didn't express anything on his face, but after leaving Wang's house, he slowly took a deep breath.
He suddenly realized that these past few days were simply more tiring than in the apocalypse.
"What a shame. You're putting yourself before the horse after playing so hard, aren't you putting the cart before the horse?" Jiang Chen shook his head with a self-deprecating smile, and then walked towards his Maybach.
Whether he was overthinking or not, he always felt that Wang Dehai was probably unreliable.
Favors are like banknotes, one is less expensive to use, and more troublesome than banknotes, because the prices of things you buy are clearly marked, and you can at least know how much money is left in your pocket after buying things.
The only good news is that there will not be much policy resistance to Human 1.0 in the future, and the danger has been eliminated in the bud.
But, is this favor finally repaid
If it counts.
Maybe it's time to consider building a back road or something. ;
