Yi Kun helped Du Ruo into the back seat of the car, and she fell over, unresponsive.
"Duruo?"
She frowned in pain: "Huh?"
"Do you want to throw up?"
She shook her head and closed her eyes.
Yi Kun asked Fu Jing to drive the car to Du Ruo's residential area. The corridor was narrow and couldn't accommodate three people walking side by side.
Yi Kun said: "You take her bag up and knock on the door. 603."
"Oh." Fu Jing responded and ran upstairs.
Yi Kun picked up Du Ruo horizontally and carried him up to the sixth floor.
He Huan welcomed him out and was taken aback: "What happened?"
"Drink too much, where is her room?"
"there."
Yi Kun went in and put her on the bed, she rolled over and lay still on the bed. Yi Kun turned her over, her cheeks were flushed, and she was panting heavily.
He Huanhuan was unhappy and said, "What did you do, let her drink so much wine!"
Fu Jing explained: "It has nothing to do with Mr. Yi, it's something else—"
Yi Kun looked at He Huanhuan: "You take care of her at night. If you need anything, call me."
After all, it was inconvenient, so he didn't stay long and left with Fu Jing.
After leaving the community, I saw a black Mercedes-Benz parked by the side of the road. A car worth more than three million yuan is incompatible with the chaotic living environment around here. The car windows were pitch black, and it was impossible to see the figures inside.
Yi Kun ignored it and left.
He Huanhuan fetched water and wiped Du Ruo's face and hands, fearing that she might be busy at night, so he climbed onto her bed and slept next to her.
In the middle of the night, Du Ruo hesitated to get up. He Huanhuan woke up in a daze: "What's wrong?"
"I want to throw up." She muttered in pain.
Huanhuan quickly helped her go to the bathroom.
She was cleaning the toilet, vomiting profusely, vomited tears and snot all out. After rinsing his mouth, he still had no strength, so he knelt on the ground and gasped for air.
Huan Huan caressed her back and wiped her face with a tissue: "Now you know how uncomfortable it is, right? You deserve it! You don't have to drink so much to show off. What are your subordinates doing? They block the boss from drinking. Look at you..."
With a "snap", Du Ruo closed the toilet lid.
She rested her elbows on the lid, propped her forehead with her hands, scratched between her eyebrows with her fingers helplessly, covering her eyes, and her jaw trembled slightly.
He Huanhuan stopped talking, and saw her pale lips trembling, gradually shrinking, and two tears rolled down her cheeks from her palm.
"Don't, don't, don't..." Huanhuan touched her back to comfort her, "I love you so much, I didn't hurt you."
Tears were streaming down her face, her shoulders trembled.
"It's all right." Huanhuan hugged her and patted her head, "I know you've worked hard, so don't drink anymore, don't drink anymore."
After coaxing her for a while, she helped her back to the room and lay down. Just after turning off the light, she climbed back to bed and lay down again. In the darkness, Du Ruo said softly:
"Jingming is back."
He Huanhuan's eyes widened suddenly, his mouth was tongue-tied, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
Du Ruo whimpered softly: "I did it on purpose, to see if he would love me."
He Huanhuan was at a loss for words, and racked her brains to enlighten her, but she heard her sadly say: "But I love him very much, very dearly."
Huanhuan rolled her eyes: "He was born rich in the second generation, so he needs your love?"
No one answered, only heavy breathing.
Huanhuan went to take a closer look, and Du Ruo fell asleep again. What I just said was probably drunk.
She sighed in her heart, committing a crime.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Du Ruo woke up on time and got out of bed light-headed.
He Huanhuan said: "Yi Kun said you don't have to go in the morning."
"It's okay." Du Ruo rubbed her head and smiled silly, "I thought I was going to catch a cold, but it seems like I've had a good drink."
"fart."
When Du Ruo came back from washing, Wali was wandering around.
She painted lipstick on the mirror, Huanhuan asked: "Do you remember what you said last night?"
"What words?"
"Tell me to send me five thousand yuan in red envelopes."
Du Ruo glanced at her through the mirror: "Are you dreaming?"
Huanhuan laughed, hugged the pillow and went out.
…
Yi Kun heard the knock on the door and raised his head. Du Ruo walked into the office, wearing a white sleeveless shirt and royal blue trousers, neatly tidied up.
"No rest in the morning?"
"It's okay." Du Ruo sat down, "I was thinking about Wanxiang, not Chunhe's contract."
"I've contacted Fu Jing over there. No problem." Yi Kun said, "Don't worry about sales in the future. The people in the sales department should be self-reliant. Even if the superiors are required to come forward, they will all be handed over to Wu Zhengbo."
"I didn't care at first, but this time it was Guo Hongfei who came looking for me..." Du Ruo was displeased and stopped talking.
"I heard that Guo Hong was fired."
Du Ruo was surprised: "Why?"
Yi Kun glanced at her: "I don't know."
Du Ruo frowned and thought about it, it was just a personnel change in the acquisition case.
In September, the temperature drops and autumn is here, which is the best time for Beijing. The exhibition of artificial intelligence technology products for small and medium-sized enterprises in the city kicked off at this time.
Yuanqian's booth was handed over to colleagues in the sales and marketing departments. Du Ruo took the opportunity to wander around the exhibition area to see what new technologies other companies had.
There are people coming and going in the exhibition hall.
She received a call from He Wang on the way, saying that they were also coming to the exhibition and would have coffee together later.
Du Ruo agreed, and after the appointment, go to the Yuangan exhibition area to gather.
At the other end of the exhibition area, Jing Ming, several vice presidents and senior executives of the company visited each exhibition area to learn about the market.
I looked around, but didn't see anything interesting.
Walking beside him, Chen Xian said, "There are still good and bad. Many companies currently have only one concept and plan, and the blueprint is beautifully designed. I don't know what it will be like to actually implement it."
Yang Shu said: "As for the few 'results' just now, the quality is inferior and the technical standards are low. Heh, are they at the level of college students?"
Jing Ming walked forward with his hands in his pockets, without saying a word. After six years, the atmosphere of technological innovation in China has improved, but compared with foreign countries, the gap in research and development level is really...
I think back when I went to exhibitions in the United States, every small workshop had new ideas and breakthroughs. Now I glance at the crowded gathering in front of me. What else is there except impetuous excitement
"Let's go." He didn't have time to waste time here, but in a blink of an eye he saw the name "Yuan Qian" on the sign at the entrance of the passage.
He paused, turned and walked in the direction of the arrow. After taking two or three steps, I ran into someone I used to know head on.
A group of managers from Pengcheng followed behind Dong Cheng, walking like an emperor inspecting. The two groups of people met in the not-so-spacious aisle.
Dong Cheng was quite surprised when he saw him, and said with a smile, "Jingming? Why did you go back to China?" He turned around and introduced to the people behind him, "This is Jingming, who was famous in our autonomous driving field six years ago."
What happened back then was a shock, who didn't know? Everyone smiled at Jingming in a coping manner.
Yang Shu, Chen Xian and the others frowned in displeasure, but Jing Ming remained calm.
Dong Cheng smiled and said, "This is today, come to participate in the exhibition?"
"Come and stroll around." Jing Ming replied.
"You haven't been back to China for long, have you been looking for a job? If you don't mind, come to our Pengcheng Automobile. You also know that I look at strength and don't care about the past."
The corner of Jingming's lips curled up: "I haven't done it for many years, I'm already unfamiliar with it."
Dong Cheng raised his eyebrows, he didn't know whether it was sarcasm or pity, and said: "What can I do now?"
Jing Ming: "Open a small company to dawdle."
"Name?" Dong Cheng said, "There is an opportunity to cooperate and cooperate."
Jing Ming looked back at Chen Xian, who handed over a business card.
Dong Cheng took it with a smile, his expression changed.
Chunhe Technology
A company that has been in the limelight recently does not do unmanned driving, but it almost monopolizes the elite suppliers in this industry. In the past six months, how many high-quality partners of Pengcheng have been acquired by Chunhe, resulting in a soaring purchase price and a sharp drop in profits.
Chen Xian smiled at the right time and said, "This is the president of our Chunhe Technology."
Dong Cheng's attitude changed, and he smiled again: "I just said that there is a chance to cooperate. Mr. Jing is indeed young and promising, and we have known each other for many years. When will we have time to drink tea together?"
Jing Ming said: "Let's get together again." After speaking, he walked away.
Passing by, the smile on his face withdrew.
Yang Shu asked, "A former opponent?"
"Adversary?" Jing Ming snorted disdainfully, "He still can't be called."
In recent years, Pengcheng company has successfully listed on the market by relying on the research and development of low-end driverless cars, but it has also attracted a group of professionals to do projects through the listing. Although the cars produced are still more gimmicks than practicality, they have also become a relatively well-known driverless car company in China. There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings.
What a great irony.
He pulled the collar of his shirt impatiently, and walked to Yuan Qian's exhibition area in a short while. The men and women working there were in neat suits, and Yi Kun's style hadn't changed at all over the years.
He snorted coldly in his heart, and walked in. Other acquaintances were there, but he didn't see Du Ruo.
Wu Zhengbo, Li Qinghe were all surprised, they didn't expect him to return home.
Yi Kun still had an iceberg face.
Because of what happened at the wine table last time, Chen Xian and Yang Shu were not very good at talking.
The atmosphere was weird and embarrassing, but Jing Ming was the only one who walked up and down calmly, looking at their exhibits and materials seriously. Look here, look there, don't talk, don't ask questions, and don't leave.
Yang Shu also looked carefully. This exhibition is a mixture of pearls and gravel, but this stem is indeed a pearl.
She asked Yi Kun: "Vice President Du, how was that day?"
Yi Kun: "She's fine."
Yang Shu didn't say much, and glanced at Jingming, who was looking at the product very intently.
He picked up a brochure and asked Yi Kun: "I'm very interested in your machine vision system, who can I talk to?"
Ask knowingly.
Yi Kun: "The vice president in charge of this area is not here."
Jing Ming: "Give me her contact information."
Yi Kun didn't answer.
Looking at each other, both of them are very rude.
At this time, Du Ruo's laughter came from outside: "There is no need to be so disappointed, right?"
"Very disappointed." He Wang said, "What are the things in here?"
Wan Ziang: "Can you keep your voice down?"
When Jing Ming heard their voices, his face changed instantly. He put the documents back in his hand, and fixed his back to them for a second without moving.
Du Ruo ran in to get the bag: "Brother, let me take a leave of absence and go have a cup of coffee." When she turned her head and saw Yang Shu and Chen Xian, she was taken aback, picked up the bag, and turned her head slowly.
Beside the showcase, Jing Ming also turned around.
He Wang Wanzi Ang Tu Zhiyuan was stunned at the same time.
They stared at each other for three or four seconds, too shocked to say a word.
"You... you..." He Wang scratched his head and said anxiously, "Why haven't you come to see us for more than half a year?!"
Jing Ming didn't speak, as if he had nothing to say. He glanced outside, frowned imperceptibly, and wanted to leave.
Du Ruo saw it at a glance, and immediately said, "Jingming, let's go drink coffee together!"
Jing Ming looked back at her.
Du Ruo smiled: "It's not easy to talk in this place, we haven't seen each other for a long time.... Let's go."
He was silent for a moment, and finally walked outside.
Yang Shu watched them leave and frowned. Think about it, and said to Chen Xian: "You follow and have a look, if there is anything unusual, tell me immediately."
Chen Xian: "OK."
…
The hand-ground coffee was served on the table. Five people sat around the table. Jing Ming was half-slumped in the sofa chair, resting his chin with his hand, staring at the coffee cup, and did not speak.
The others drank their coffee and were speechless.
Six years apart, now that they meet suddenly, their thoughts are blank. strangeness? familiar? emotion? rusty? Mixed emotions, don't know where to start.
Wan Ziang was the first to break the silence: "After returning to China for so long, what are you doing?"
Jingming glanced at him briefly: "Chunhe Technology."
Except for Du Ruo, everyone present was quite surprised.
He Wang suddenly laughed excitedly: "You're not bad, kid. Do big things in silence!"
With his smile, the awkward and unfamiliar atmosphere just now seemed to melt instantly.
Tu Zhiyuan was also happy for him, and said: "Chunhe Technology is soaring, I was a little skeptical before, but if you are the boss, your strength is probably higher than the outside world guesses."
Wan Ziang also said: "I think Chunhe's actions during this period are all concentrated in the field of AI and robotics. Are you going to vigorously develop in this area in the future?"
He Wang smiled and said, "That's needless to say, as I said before, Jingming will definitely return to unmanned driving. Fuck, we-"
"I don't have that plan." Jing Ming said.
He Wang was taken aback. The atmosphere that had warmed up a moment ago suddenly cooled down.
"Creative enterprises have a high risk of return and feel tired. If you want to be a high-end large-scale comprehensive supplier, you must first control the core links and manufacturers in this field. The most lacking in this industry is refined products. Whoever owns it will monopolize it. , whoever has the right to bid." He sounded like a philistine businessman, and after he finished speaking briefly, he didn't seem to be interested in chatting, so he asked, "What have you been busy with in the past few years?"
The three men on the opposite side obviously haven't recovered from their senses, and they don't quite believe that what Jing Ming said just now came from Jing Ming's mouth.
Du Ruo helped to answer: "He Wang is still working on AI, and still wants to do... unmanned driving."
Jingming didn't stop the turmoil, and actually gave advice: "In addition to doing research and development, we should also pay more attention to researching the market and find companies and enterprises with strong capital to attract investment."
He Wang: "Market? Investment?"
Jing Ming: "It is not the so-called prospects, products, or technology that determine the life and death of a company, but cash flow. Capital will not talk to you about feelings. They only pursue security, benefits, and returns. Feelings, ideals, are like ivory towers." The fantasy inside. Don’t be too naive. If you want to develop well, find a reliable funding source. Or if you do well, I can consider buying you.”
He Wang looked at him, his eyes became puzzled, incomprehensible, even unfamiliar.
No one said a word.
He Wang suddenly let out a speechless laugh: "What did you mean by that?"
"what do you mean?"
"What monopoly, bidding, funding? You... how did you make it look like you've changed?"
Jingming asked back: "After six years, I have changed, isn't it normal?"
The air suddenly became tense, and Du Ruo said anxiously: "Speak well. Jingming, don't make such a look—"
Jing Ming's face turned cold: "Do you think you know me well?"
"The original dream—"
"How old are you? Now that you're talking about your dreams, you still haven't woken up in college?!"
Du Ruo trembled and fell silent.
He Wang was annoyed: "If you don't mention your dream, then mention Li Wei—"
Jing Ming: "Don't mention Li Wei to me!"
Suddenly quiet.
His face turned pale, his chest heaved, and he tried to calm down and said: "I'm still busy, so I'm leaving first."
He got up to leave.
He Wang blushed with anger and wanted to leave.
Du Ruo appeased: "He Wang..."
"Stop it." He laughed self-deprecatingly, "I'm so stupid, still thinking about Prime's unfulfilled dream, waiting for him to come back, but he has long since forgotten all about it."
"No." She grabbed him and explained, "I think he just hasn't..."
"Stop defending him!" He Wang interrupted, "You heard what he just said. He used what he once believed in as a tool to make money! Du Ruo, let me ask you, aren't you tired from work? Hmm? No rest on weekends Why do you work overtime for more than 13 hours every day? Why do you insist on developing a more accurate vision system when you can easily make money? Isn’t it because you feel ashamed? Isn’t it because you actually doubted whether the Prime No.2 crashed in the first place? See that wall?!"
Du Ruo's eyes sparkled.
Wan Ziang couldn't bear it anymore and tried to dissuade him: "What hope..."
"It's the same with you! The sensing system also has your share." He Wang opened his hand and pointed at him twice, "Why do you spend your own money to do research instead of going to such a good job in other places? There is you far away!
Is it something wrong with the braking system you are responsible for
I also wondered if there was a bug in the AI program, and she couldn't stop because of something I did wrong! These years I..." He tapped his fists in the air a few times, his eyes were red, "I can't do anything else. If this matter is not resolved, Li Wei will not be given an explanation. I can't pass this hurdle! But Jingming, he forgot. Forget it all. "
"Prime didn't disband six years ago. It disbands today."
