In the end, An Ruyou did not tell Bai Keke the truth. Perhaps she was truly disappointed, and did not ask him about the cause of his death. The entertainment circle was like a clock that did not know when to stop. It continued to operate as if it was on its own.
Occasionally, the nostalgic show would pull Wang Yihuan out to stir up some trouble, but most of the time, people had forgotten this person who was once active. They only looked forward. Perhaps it was for profit, or perhaps it was reality.
Sometimes, he thought that Wang Yihuan's life was also a tragedy. From the very beginning, this tragedy had been brewed, and many years later, he had almost caused his child to repeat the same tragedy. He was a moth, living in the morning and dying in the evening.
Bai Keke stayed at home every day, watching TV or shopping. They no longer talked about their past with tacit understanding, pretending that nothing had happened.
"Miss, it's time to repay the debt."
Maybe there was even a credit company's phone number. Every time they called, Bai Keke would lower his head to look at the ring on his hand.
On the day of the judgement, An Ruyou and Ye Yi made a trip to the cemetery. No one knew if it was a coincidence or something, but Wang Yihuan's tombstone was right behind Wang Dujuan's tombstone. Flowers on the altar table, and pictures of him with her head printed that the little girl liked, were probably sent by fans.
Wang Yihuan had no family, so no matter how much the fans loved him, they would not love him for a lifetime. Very quickly, there was no one to help him fix the weeds beside the tombstone. An Ruyou and Ye Yi had tidied up the weeds, and even bought a pot of cactus.
Today was the opening day of the Ann's Branch, and also the day that the Ann's Branch and the He Clan officially started working together.
An Ruyou and Kong Xiaomi were both dressed in beautiful clothes, and Zhang Minzhi had also brought her wife and daughter over. The most eye-catching person might be Lin Minghe, even though he wasn't wearing a suit, but a clean shirt and black coloured pants, he had also attracted the attention of the reporters present. They surrounded him and interviewed him, wanting to know how the person who suddenly appeared got the green eyes of the He clan all of a sudden.
Seeing that Lin Minghe was not afraid of the stage, and was smiling and talking to them, An Ruyou was not willing to go over. She went to the pastry area and found it hard to choose from the cute little cakes on the table.
"What would you like to eat?"
An Ruyou didn't even turn around, "You seem to like scaring people."
"Not bad," He Chengyu said as he placed a piece of plain and plain red velvet cake on An Ruyou's plate on the shelf.
"Hmm, I hate flashy things." An Ruyou made a disgusted expression while looking at the cake on the plate, "If you don't eat it, you're dead for sure."
"If it doesn't taste good, then give it to me." He Chengyu also picked up a plate.
"Do you talk to girls like that often?" An Ruyou was a little disgusted.
He Chengyu laughed, revealing two rows of pure white teeth, "Are you jealous?"
An Ruyou glared at him and went to find a drink for herself.
"Hello everyone, welcome to this season's cooperative event," a host said, "This season's cooperative theme is science and technology. Presumably before coming here, everyone already has a basic understanding of the elites who are working with He family, the first is the familiar one, An Ruyou, Miss Ann, from Ann's, architectural families, they have been doing well since they entered the industry, they are truly a rare talent, before, she led the Ann's staff, successfully took over the dam project, and then built the city's first ceramic museum, which in terms of art and leisure, has reached an unparalleled height. This time, she had led her branch company and established a business they had never been in before. Furthermore, she had received praise from many of her experts and friends during the blind auditions. The other person is the popular Dr. Lin. He came to He Dynasty with the results of her many years of research and collaborated with He Dynasty. She brought great honor to them.
The host's words caused thunderous applause from the audience. Everyone felt honored to be able to witness a strong and powerful team together at the scene.
"Has Miss Ann thought of creating other industries recently?"
An Ruyou picked up the microphone and replied to the reporter's question, "Right now, my goal is to do a good job with the project in front of me, the game industry, as everyone knows, I also only have a small understanding of it, and have just met. If I were to explore other industries so quickly, wouldn't I be gulping down everything I have?
A reporter asked, "Before knowing the results, did Miss Ann ever think that this project would be able to smoothly connect with the He family?"
"To be honest, I didn't think that my original plan was to find an investor and expand the project before trying to get in touch with He family. I didn't expect my results to be twice the result with half the effort. I was also very surprised."
Another reporter asked Lin Minghe, "I heard that you have always been working in the area of research. Regarding your collaboration with He family, will you be participating in the market?"
Lin Minghe said, "If the company needs me, I think I will be able to participate. A good project, especially a cooperative project, does not rely only on the leaders, everyone who participates is extremely important. Furthermore, to be able to personally witness their own products being put into production and finally going into thousands of homes, I think they should be very happy."
"Gen Ho, which one of these two cooperation projects do you prefer?" A reporter asked an awkward question, while he himself was still feeling pleased with himself, thinking that it was a very honorable thing to ask He Chengyu.
Little did he know that this exposed his inexperience.
He Chengyu leisurely picked up the microphone, "If you want to say that I don't like any project, that's impossible. As an entrepreneur, I definitely prefer batteries because it can bring me a lot of income. Furthermore, as long as we promote it, we might be able to change the world. With regards to the game, He Chengyu, as a normal person, has a huge preference for it. Every boy likes to play, and I am no exception.
This kind of sensitive topic, no matter which one He Chengyu said it was, no matter how much of an explanation he gave, people would criticize him. However, he had an idea and split himself into two different angles, saying it like this as if it was as if he was expressing that he liked both of them but did not seem to be perfunctory.
Everyone present praised He Chengyu's performance just now.
Perhaps it was because the reporter from before had set an example, but the next question became much more relaxed. The questions asked by the reporters began to focus on the foreground, and with the help of researchers, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
The end of the reporter's question segment will be the product showcase segment.
The He family had always been magnanimous towards new products. They had the confidence to afford it. Even if they showed their semi-finished products to the market, they did not believe that anyone would do better than them.
The part of the showcase should have been done by Zhang Minzhi, but he said that he was not used to being watched by so many people, so Kong Xiaomi chose to do it instead. "Today, I'm going to bring you a different world."
Kong Xiaomi moved her mouse and pressed the start button.
All the lights in the room were suddenly extinguished, and as everyone was panicking, a beam of light shot down from above their heads. Gradually, more and more beams of light were being cast down, as if from a crack in the sky to the light of the world.
"We will use the most advanced three-dimensional projection technology to show everyone the city that is hidden in the computer," Kong Xiaomi continued. "Here, we are all residents, now, my job is to display, move my mouse, and my job will become a writer or a doctor. In this city, everything will be under your control."
Kong Xiaomi's words made the crowd boil over, they reached out their hands, holding onto the light of the void in their palms, or turned around and entered a small house, with all the furniture, and the dandelion at the door. A child stretched out his finger as if it had just touched a dandelion, and the dandelion exploded, and the seeds, like parachutes, slowly flew away into the distance. People followed the dandelion without noticing that the city around them was fading. It was like a dream.
"This is the world that we can create. We hope that everyone can enter into their own world and create the city that you dream of." Kong Xiaomi's words were very persuasive, and everyone was excitedly exchanging their experiences. The four main creators also walked into the crowd to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this city. "From experiencers, you can see what your work looks like more objectively." This was what An Ruyou had told them on the way here.
Men, women, and children couldn't wait to share their thoughts.
Lin Minghe didn't feel like he was being ignored or something like that. Instead, he naturally picked up the questionnaire and walked into the crowd.
This is called teamwork. A team has people who can lead the way, while a team has people who can help them. You can't just say that it's necessary to lead the way; teamwork is the key to victory.
He Chengyu looked at the scene in front of him and felt extremely gratified in his heart. He had always been confident in his judgement, but even with such confidence, he never thought that it would be so popular.
In the eyes of the older generation, the game had almost no words of praise. It was time for people to change this old mindset.
On the surface, He Chengyu looked to be sweeping through the audience, but only he himself knew who he was chasing after.
An Ruyou had worn a peacock green top today, matching with a black short skirt. That was grand and formal, this kind of color, that ordinary people wouldn't dare try, was added to her beauty. A private person like He Chengyu suddenly realised that he was actually very happy that An Ruyou was able to work with him.
"Maybe I care about her a little!"
He Chengyu's greatest strength was that he would be frank. Only by being honest with others would he be able to understand his own heart and make the best choice. At this moment, He Chengyu was very clear what he was thinking and what he longed for in his heart.
After the press conference ended, He Chengyu went to find An Ruyou, "You were great today!"
