"There is indeed a lot of research in this area abroad." Father Jiang said with a smile: "Their artificial intelligence research and development environment is good."
"That young man is from Jiuchuan!" The old man smiled. He looked around the venue and saw someone with sharp eyes. He greeted: "Come on, let's go and say hello! I saw him!" "
The young man stood in the corner as if hiding away.
But he was also like a star emitting gravitational force, constantly attracting people. There was a buzz of people in this small corner, chatting eagerly with him.
The old gentleman and others were about to squeeze in, "Xiao Huo! Come on, come on, let me introduce it to you. This is one of the earliest companies in our country to conduct artificial intelligence research!"
The crowds retreated on both sides like Moses parting the sea.
In the middle of the crowd, a young man with a smile on his face gently shook his wine glass, sparkling even more dazzlingly than the crystal lamp above his head.
Huo Jiuke.
Zhao Xuchang's body became stiff every inch.
He remembered what Mrs. Jiang said just now. The crisp suit was like a soldering iron, burning him all over.
He clearly saw Huo Jiuke's eyes lingering on him for a moment, which was profound.
The old gentleman quickly noticed the subtlety of the atmosphere and asked, "Do you know each other?"
Huo Jiuke curled his lips and smiled.
Before he could remember to speak, Father Jiang's face was covered with cold sweat and he said awkwardly: "There is some connection..."
The old man had been in the industry for so many years, and he could tell at a glance that the way Huo Jiuke looked at the girl from the Jiang family was unusual.
He smiled and retreated quickly, "Then you guys talk first, I'm going to find an old friend!"
The remaining people looked at each other in confusion, and no one spoke.
The Jiang family couple are brainstorming.
They consciously did not feel sorry for Huo Jiuke, but they did break off the engagement when he was in decline... Huo Jiuke went to start a business abroad, and now that he has returned to glory, it coincides with the Jiang family's business. At this time, the Huo family has withdrawn. , Huo Jiuke is the life-saving straw of the Jiang family!
Just in time... Chanchan and the Huo family broke off their engagement.
Mr. Jiang coughed and said, "Well...Jiu Ke, we just met a few days ago. Why didn't you tell me earlier? Uncle can be happy for you in advance."
Huo Jiuke raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "It's not an extraordinary achievement. It's not as good as the achievements of seniors like Uncle Jiang. It's not worth showing off."
His words were tactful, polite and yet intimate. Father Jiang immediately relaxed a lot, "Then do you juniors want to have a chat?"
Huo Jiuke pondered for half a minute, his eyes falling leisurely on Lingchan's hand holding Zhao Xuchang's.
He said: "It may not be convenient today..."
"Let's talk."
Lingchan interrupted him.
The girl was dressed in gorgeous clothes, her eyes were smiling, and she was looking at Huo Jiuke intently, her eyes were full of light and tenderness.
Huo Jiuke paused and said, "Okay."
He agreed anyway.
…
The three of them found a secluded lounge.
Zhao Xuchang's face was pale and his eyes were weak. He didn't know what he was thinking, as if he was going to run away as soon as Lingchan let go.
This is not okay.
Ling Chan tightened her arm and firmly grasped Zhao Xuchang's hand.
Huo Jiuke turned around and looked at the two people who were close to each other. His smile disappeared at some point, "Chanchan, does he want to be with us too?"
"Of course." Lingchan held Zhao Xuchang tighter, "This is very necessary!"
Huo Jiuke looked calm. He walked into the room first and sat on the sofa, with his legs crossed and his body leaning back. This was a rather distant body language.
"I don't see the need."
Huo Jiuke said calmly.
Lingchan pulled Zhao Xuchang to sit on the sofa nearby and introduced with a smile, "Mr. Zhao Xuchang Zhao is now the chief engineer of our company!"
"Mr. Huo, let me introduce myself again. I am Jiang Lingchan, the general manager of Suzhen Intelligent Company. Hello."
Ling Chan smiled and stretched out her hand generously, looking high-spirited and full of confidence.
Just one year.
She has become a completely different image from Huo Jiuke's memory.
The little girl who lazily said she didn't want to work hard finally grew up, but he was forced to be absent.
Huo Jiuke's expression was calm, and his eyes were like the sea surface surrounded by waves, so calm and depressing that it was scary.
"Hello." He said calmly, "I think I don't need to introduce myself again."
The two shook hands.
It is no longer the sticky and sticky grip of the fingers when I was young, but now it is like a dragonfly touching water, holding it for a moment and then politely letting go.
Lingchan smiled and tugged at Zhao Xuchang, "Then let Engineer Zhao introduce our company to you in detail."
Zhao Xuchang took out a tablet and inserted the USB disk, and large blocks of code came out. He stuttered when he first spoke, and Lingchan gently shook his forearm as if to comfort him.
Huo Jiuke carefully observed the two people opposite.
They seemed familiar, had close physical interactions, and had a good rapport.
After receiving Lingchan's encouragement, Zhao Xuchang's speech became more and more fluent. He finished quickly and glanced at Lingchan as if asking for praise.
Lingchan gave him an approving look, and then asked, "Mr. Huo, do you have any suggestions?"
Huo Jiuke didn't listen to a word. But he smiled and commented gently: "It's a very good idea, but it's a little immature. You can think about it more carefully and polish it."
Lingchan nodded, "Thank you for your suggestion, we also want to..."
She enthusiastically told Huo Jiuke her business plan.
Huo Jiuke lowered his eyes, looking tired, "...can you ask Mr. Zhao to go out first?"
"I have something to say and want to talk to Miss Jiang alone."
He looked at Zhao Xuchang, as if he had interrupted Lingchan accidentally.
Zhao Xuchang went to see Lingchan.
Lingchan smiled at him and said, "Go and play by yourself for a while while I chat with Mr. Huo."
With a click, Zhao Xuchang gently closed the door as he left.
In the lounge, Lingchan and Huo Jiuke looked at each other.
"It seems that you have grown a lot in the year I have been away." Huo Jiuke said slowly.
Lingchan smiled and said, "I just think I should be more independent."
Even her parents do not love her without reservation and wholeheartedly.
There was silence for a moment.
The two people who were once childhood sweethearts and talked about everything now sit together, looking at each other, speechless.
Huo Jiuke's social diction, his meticulous and considerate high emotional intelligence, and his ability to lead conversations seemed to have gone away from him. He sat stiffly and said after a long time: "I didn't expect you to come to this banquet."
He's not ready yet.
"Are you feeling guilty?" Lingchan tilted her head, "You have a hand in disrupting the wedding banquet, right?"
"Yes." Huo Jiuke had nothing to deny. He said quietly, "I can't possibly watch you marry someone else."
"Can I only be yours?" Lingchan asked.
"You can only be mine!" Huo Jiuke repeated categorically.
Quiet again.
Lingchan said slowly: "I haven't seen you for a year...you still haven't changed at all."
She raised her eyes, her eyes slightly sarcastic, "It really disappoints me."
I originally thought of an English name for Xiao Huo, but I was afraid that everyone wouldn't be able to remember it. Oh, forget it, just a name is fine!
