After Two Lifetimes I Was Reborn Back Inside A Book

Jiang Chen raised his head and looked at Shi Fengyue quietly.

He said lightly: "It's true to say that, I do have some curiosity about you."

Shi Fengyue leaned forward slightly, resting his chin with one hand, his thick eyelashes reflected on his pupils, and only one person was reflected in his eyes: "It seems that we all need to get to know each other better."

Jiang Chen looked directly at his scrutiny hidden under the banter, and slightly curled his lips: "Curiosity is curiosity, and there is no need for a deeper understanding."

Shi Fengyue: "Why?"

Jiang Chen: "Does Doctor Shi like to get to the bottom of everything?"

Shi Fengyue: "Only things that interest me."

Jiang Chen bent his eyes: "Even if your interest will affect other people?"

Shi Fengyue said without hesitation, "Yes."

Jiang Chen leaned back, the smile in his eyes had faded, and his tone was calm: "This is the reason."

Shi Fengyue put away his smile, but Jiang Chen's face remained unchanged. When the four eyes meet, the air in the coffee shop seems to be torn into two worlds: stagnant and noisy.

Moxi looked at the latte spraying from his nostrils on the left, Li Nanfeng who was wiping his clothes after coughing piercingly, and the dark-faced He Qianmin and the innocent-looking He Qianyu who blinked on the right. Shrunk back, trying to minimize his sense of existence.

The waiter carried the plate and placed the drinks that Moxi and the others had just ordered one by one.

"Second brother." He Qianyu pulled He Qianmin's sleeve and said, "I want to eat your cake."

He Qianmin pushed the matcha mousse in front of him to He Qianyu, glanced at Shi Fengyue's face, picked up the question book on one side, opened it and said to Jiang Chen, "Brother, give me this question again." Tell me."

Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes to look at the question, and soon began to speak seriously to He Qianmin.

A coffee table seems to be divided into two worlds, one side is the three of He Qianmin who are studying hard, and the other is the three of Shi Fengyue who keep silent.

Li Nanfeng finally wiped his clothes clean, as if he couldn't sense the atmosphere in front of him, he said with a smile: "Jiang Chen, your grades should be very good."

He Qianmin glanced at him coldly: "What do you mean is good? My brother has always been number one in the entrance examination."

"So good?" Li Nanfeng seemed to be interested, and asked: "I heard from Moxi that you plan to study computer in the future? What direction?"

"AI." Seeing that someone eased the atmosphere, Moxi quickly answered for Jiang Chen: "Now there is no such direction for undergraduates in China. It is a choice after graduate school. Jiang Chen University can choose computer or mathematics."

"AI?" Li Nanfeng smiled and said, "Our company has been researching and developing this recently. When you graduate, you can work in our company."

Jiang Chen raised his eyes: "I don't know what the current research direction of Mr. Li's company is?"

"Currently the voice system on the mobile terminal is the most invested." Li Nanfeng said: "We are also planning to develop a face recognition system. Several small technology companies have produced finished products, but I am not satisfied with the effect, so it is hard to say. We are very likely to independently develop a face recognition system, but it is hard to find scientific researchers, and booking one in advance now can be considered as a reserve of talents for the future, Jiang, are you interested?"

The pen was twirling rapidly between Jiang Chen's fingers, he closed his eyes and pondered, and asked after a few seconds: "Mr. Li wants a mature face recognition system, are you planning to buy it out?"

"Of course not." Li Nanfeng folded his hands on the table and said with a smile: "The AI ​​market is not mature now, and even the mature scientific research results need to be improved with the development of the times. What I want is not a single result. It’s the people who are responsible for the R&D results, or the team, and only when there are people in the team can our company always stand at the top of the industry.”

Jiang Chen: "Excuse me, may I ask where Mr. Li is qualified?"

"The Reed Smith Group."

After turning the pen, Jiang Chen raised his eyes: "Li De?"

Li Nanfeng curled her lips: "I am the general manager and head of the R&D department of Reed Smith."

Li Nanfeng, Li De...

For the first time, Jiang Chen took a serious look at the seemingly cynical young man in front of him. Unexpectedly, the only old enemy in the book who could compete with He Qianjian was also the only one who made He Qianjian suffer countless falls but could only suffer from being dumb. , sitting opposite him.

That novel is not so much a novel as it is more like a biography written from the perspective of a bystander. There are very few ups and downs and psychological descriptions in the book, and it is more about the things the protagonist He Qianjian has done. elaborate.

Jiang Chen knew all the things He Qianjian had done, but he couldn't know the details of how he did one thing, because most of the time in the book it only described the reason why He Qianjian did one thing and how he did it. As a result, the intermediate process and the mental journey between him and others are very little.

He Qianjian's mental journey will be described in detail only when he encounters matters related to two people, one of whom is Jiang Chen himself, and the other is Li Nanfeng.

Therefore, Jiang Chen was deeply impressed by Li Nanfeng, who made He Qianjian extremely jealous, and the Reed Group, which brought great pressure to He Qianjian. He had thought that he might meet the enemy's enemy if he had the opportunity in the future, but he didn't expect this meeting to come so early.

"What?" Li Nanfeng asked, "Surprised?"

Jiang Chen nodded, and chuckled lightly, "I'm really surprised."

Shi Fengyue raised his eyes, and his eyes lightly slid over Li Nanfeng.

Li Nanfeng coughed and said, "After you graduate, you can come to our company. When the time comes, you can come to me without an interview."

Jiang Chen tapped his fingers on the table, thoughtful.

"I have a business I want to discuss with Mr. Li. When is Mr. Li free?"

Li Nanfeng: "What business?"

"Speech system and face recognition."

Li Nanfeng was stunned for a rare moment, then stepped back, looked Jiang Chen up and down, and teased: "You don't mean to say that you have mature research results in your hands, do you?"

Jiang Chen nodded, and looked at him quietly.

The young man's calmness made the smile on Li Nanfeng's face gradually fade away. He sat up straight and said with a smile, "Using a normal person's way of thinking, your age is really not convincing, but who asked me to have a ten-year-old girl next to me?" A man who held three patents at the age of five, so—I would like to give you a chance to make an appointment to talk about this cooperation, but let’s make it clear in advance that friendship belongs to friendship, and the result depends on what you have in your hand.”

Jiang Chen stretched out his hand, and the corner of his mouth lightly curled up: "You can see it now."

Li Nanfeng's eyes fell on Jiang Chen's mobile phone with a slide button in his palm.

"This phone?"

Jiang Chen put the phone in the middle of the coffee table, long pressed the phone for hands-free, a few seconds later, a mechanical male voice sounded:

— "Dylan, do you need help?"

Li Nanfeng's eyes widened suddenly, and the gazes of the others quickly focused on the center of the coffee table.

Li Nanfeng looked at Jiang Chen, his voice was a little excited: "What is this?"

Jiang Chen put his finger between his lips, and said, "Please help me open the photo album."

Within seconds, the phone screen changed from the home page to the photo album.

The voice on the phone asked, "Do you need help retrieving the photos?"

From the corner of his eyes, Jiang Chen saw He Qianmin who looked surprised and excited, and said with a smile, "Please help me find Qianmin's photo."

"During the search, there are one photo of He Qianmin. Do you want to open it?"

"Open."

He Qianmin pursed his lips sullenly and showed aggrieved photos of brushing hot pot on the screen, and in the steaming mist on the side, there was Jiang Chen looking at the camera with a smile on his face.

He Qianmin's ears turned red instantly, and he reached out to pick up his phone, "Brother! Who took this picture? It's so ugly!"

"It was taken by Shen Xu." Jiang Chen betrayed Shen Xu without hesitation.

"I knew it was him!" He Qianmin quickly clicked the delete button, hesitating for a long time with a dark face, but he didn't press it. This seemed to be the first photo of him and his brother. He hesitated for a moment, and sent the photo in the form of MMS sent it to my phone.

Li Nanfeng tried his best to suppress the excitement surging all over his body, but his eager voice inevitably leaked a bit: "Is the system or chip in your mobile phone developed by yourself?"

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes: "Voice system and face recognition system, the model of this phone can't carry my latest system yet, this is only the initial version."

"It's just the original version..." Li Nanfeng stood up straight, put his hands on his head and walked back and forth in the aisle several times, then he turned around and walked back to the coffee table quickly, and asked with his hands on the table, "How do you plan to cooperate? "

"You have seen some of the results now." Jiang Chen glanced at Yang Yun who was coming from the opposite road, and said, "Let's make an appointment to discuss the details."

Li Nanfeng could no longer hide his impatience: "I have time now, let's talk today!"

Jiang Chen smiled: "Today is not suitable."

"Why?" Li Nanfeng said without hesitation, "What's the matter with you? I'll help you solve it."

Jiang Chen tilted his head, motioning him to look behind him.

Yang Yun pushed the door and entered, walking towards this side with a smile.

Li Nanfeng paused, and belatedly realized that now is indeed not the time to talk about cooperation. However, he will fly abroad tomorrow, and this trip will take at least five days before returning home. If we don’t discuss this matter immediately, we will settle it. After signing the contract, he can't travel with peace of mind.

Because, he understands better than anyone else that once the technology in Jiang Chen's hands is known, what a storm it will cause. He is afraid that when he comes back, let alone soup, he won't even be able to eat scum.

Jiang Chen knew Li Nanfeng's worries. This was the reason why he hadn't let go of what he had before and didn't find someone to cooperate with. After two lifetimes, he knew very well how unpredictable the research and development results would be if it fell into the hands of untrustworthy people. influences.

Even now, when he chooses to cooperate with Li Nanfeng, he still doesn't think Li Nanfeng is a trustworthy person. However, as far as the present time is concerned, Li Nanfeng is the best choice compared to others.

"You can rest assured." Jiang Chen said, "I have no plans to disclose the results to the public for the time being."

Jiang Chen's certainty made Li Nanfeng calm down. He wanted to ask something, but when he thought about the time of the occasion, he turned his words back: "I'm on a plane early this morning, and I'm going on a business trip abroad for a few days, next Wednesday at the earliest. Come back, that day happens to be He Qianyang's birthday, I have to attend, so how about we meet at He's family's party then?"

Jiang Chen: "I can wait—"

"Xiao Chen is also going to Qian Yang's party?" Yang Yun happened to hear Li Nanfeng's last words, and said pleasantly: "Great, Auntie will ask the driver to pick you up at your home."

Getting in touch with He Qianmin and his family in advance has disrupted Jiang Chen's plan. Before he really came of age, he wanted to avoid getting in touch with more of He's family as much as possible, but in this case, it would be inappropriate to repeatedly refuse.

"Thank you, auntie, but there's no need." Jiang Chen swallowed the refusal: "I can go by myself when the time comes."

Yang Yun smiled softly and said, "Then Auntie will be waiting for you at home."

"Then it's a deal." Li Nanfeng heaved a sigh of relief.

Jiang Chen nodded: "See you then."

Seeing that they have a good relationship, Yang Yun politely invited Li Nanfeng and the three of them: "It's time for dinner, let's have dinner together."

"No." Thinking of the cooperation that I don't know if it will be possible in a few days, Li Nanfeng now wishes to fly back to the office to explain everything, and use a minute as an hour. He hurriedly got up and said, "Thank you, Aunt Yang, but I still have something to do at work and I need to go back immediately."

Seeing that he was really anxious, Yang Yun said empathetically, "Go to work, and come to my house for dinner when I have a chance."

Li Nanfeng confirmed the appointed time with Jiang Chen again, then took Shi Fengyue and Moxi, who had a blank expression since Jiang Chen's cell phone made a sound, strode away.

Watching Li Nanfeng and the others leave, Jiang Chen also stood up: "Aunt Yang, I..." As soon as he started talking, the phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, Jiang Chen instantly burst into a smile. He apologized softly, stepped aside and picked up the phone.

Yang Yun's gaze followed Jiang Chen involuntarily, and what he saw was his side face with lowered eyes and a slight smile, and his gentle and clear voice came into his ears.

"mom."

— It was his mother who called.

"What a good day today, you actually made braised meatballs."

—Jiang Chen likes to eat braised meatballs.

"What cake? The shop across the park?"

"Okay, I will pay attention to safety, but it's not appropriate for me to go back so early on the anniversary of you and Dad?"

— With such an intimate and casual tone, he should have a good relationship with his parents.

"I see, I'll be back soon, bye."

Jiang Chen hung up the phone, turned around and met Yang Yun's gaze. He paused, ignoring the strange feeling in his heart, and smiled lightly.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, my mother has already prepared my dinner, and I can't have dinner with you."

Yang Yun had already guessed it, but when he heard Jiang Chen say this, he still felt a little disappointed in his heart: "Since your mother has already prepared dinner, let's have dinner together next time, do you want Auntie to send you back? "

"No need." Jiang Chen declined politely, "This place is very close to my house, and I also need to help my mother buy some things, just walk back."

Yang Yun could only nod: "Then be careful on the road."

Jiang Chen smiled, and after saying goodbye to the He Qianmin brothers and sisters in a warm voice, he turned and left the coffee shop.

Jiang's house is indeed not far from here. If you don't take the road, you only need to pass through a park and walk seven to eight hundred meters along the street to reach the community where Jiang's house is located.

Holding a cake in one hand, Jiang Chen walked around the bamboo forest in the center of the park, and occasionally stopped to watch the night view, taking it easy and leisurely. Although walking through the bamboo forest will be closer, but today is the 20th anniversary of his parents' marriage, and he wants to give them more time for the two of them.

At the end of the bamboo forest is a lake shrouded in moonlight. The melodious sound of the zither came, following the ripples and flowing quietly. Jiang Chen stopped and looked in the direction of the sound. After a while, he followed the softer and softer sound. , Walking through a short path, in the middle of the open space suddenly, stood a young man playing the violin.

The young man didn't notice the outsider's arrival, and skillfully changed the position of his fingers on the strings, his eyes were gentle and clear, and the sound of the piano was full of longing.

Jiang Chen stood where he was, and couldn't help but stop and listen.

At the end of the song, the boy lowered his head and stroked the piano in his hand, his profile under the moonlight was quiet and lonely.

Jiang Chen didn't want to disturb him, so he left lightly. Before he walked out of the path, he suddenly heard a suppressed sob. go back.

A clean handkerchief appeared in front of him.

The boy squatting on the ground raised his head in a daze, and it took a few seconds for him to react. He hurriedly wiped away his tears, stood up and said, "Thank you, no need."

Jiang Chen took back the handkerchief: "I heard you playing the violin when I passed by just now, and I couldn't help listening to it for a while longer. I'm sorry if I disturbed you."

After apologizing, Jiang Chen nodded slightly, turned and left.

"Wait." The boy called to stop him.

Jiang Chen turned his head, looking puzzled.

You Jiuyu tightened his grip on the violin, his ears turned red, and his voice was dry with tension: "Can you listen to me playing another song?" The eyes said word by word: "I want to try, how does it feel to have an audience."

Jiang Chen walked to the bench beside the open space and sat down, said with a slight smile, "I'm looking forward to it."

The young man's eyes followed him, accidentally met his smiling eyebrows, and turned his eyes away. He took a deep breath, rested his left cheek lightly on the chin rest, closed his eyes and started playing.

At the end of the song, the boy opened his eyes, his anticipation clearly visible.

Jiang Chen truthfully told his feelings: "It's very nice. Although I don't know much about music, I can hear Si Lian from it."

"Missing...?" The young man didn't know what he thought of, and he lowered his eyes and said nothing. After a while, he looked up at the night sky and said softly: "If you are not in a hurry, can you listen to three more songs? Every time before, The people I miss will listen to me play five pieces."

"certainly."

The boy turned his head and smiled, lowering his eyes and playing.

Three pieces of violin music with completely different styles flowed from his fingertips. When it was over, Jiang Chen still had something to say.

The young man smiled shyly, sat down beside Jiang Chen, and carefully put the violin into the case.

"Thank you, for the first time in ten years, someone listened to me playing the violin."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "It's my honor."

The young man looked up at the sky, and said softly, "It's my honor to hear you play the piano. In fact... For a moment just now, I thought you were the person my mother sent to comfort me."

Jiang Chen also raised his head and said with a smile, "She must be using her way to comfort and support you where you can't see."

The boy's eyelashes trembled, and he turned to look at Jiang Chen. For some reason, facing a stranger, he suddenly had the desire to confide in him: "My mother is a violinist..."

The teenager's mother was a very famous violinist when she was alive. She played all over the world all the year round, but unfortunately passed away in a car accident on the way back from a performance. The father, who loved his mother deeply, did not want to be hurt by the scene, and since then he has not allowed anything related to the violin in the house, including the sound. Since then, he has never practiced the piano at home, and only brought his violin to this park to practice every time he misses his mother, day after day, and it has been ten years now.

Jiang Chen's voice was calm and gentle: "Have you never thought about talking to your father?"

The young man smiled wryly and shook his head: "Father thinks that I don't have the talent to play the piano. In his eyes, no one in this world can match the music played by my mother. Of course, I also think so..."

"Does your mother feel the same way?"

The young man was stunned, turned to look at him, and after a long time, said: "My mother once said that I was the most talented violinist she had ever seen, but that's just a mother to a child..." His voice gradually lowered, his expression was gloomy .

"Your mother is not only a mother, but also an excellent violin player. You should trust her to be fair and professional in her evaluation, and the most important thing is..." Jiang Chen turned his head and smiled: "Tonight's These violin pieces are the most beautiful and touching music I have ever heard."

"Really?"

Jiang Chen pursed his lips and smiled slightly: "Of course."

The young man stared at him in a daze, until Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows suspiciously, then he quickly looked away: "Thank you, thank you, and your comfort..."

"What I'm telling is the truth, not just consolation." Jiang Chen glanced at his watch, and placed another buy-one-get-one cake next to the young man: "The reward that touches people's hearts, I believe you will have more viewers in the future. I should go, see you later."

The young man's eyes fell on the cake box. From the corner of his eye, Jiang Chen had already walked out of the open space. He hurriedly stood up, chased after him, and called him: "May I know your name?"

Jiang Chen looked back and smiled slightly: "Jiang Chen."

"My name is You Jiuyu." You Jiuyu walked up to Jiang Chen, looked him in the eyes, stretched out his hand and said, "Nice to meet you, Jiang Chen."

Jiang Chen held his hand, said with a slight smile, "I am also very glad to meet you, You Jiuyu."

The author has something to say: You Jiuyu has been in the outline and character design for a long time, and finally came out.

He can be regarded as a supporting role with a lot of roles in the back. If he talks too much, it will spoil the story. In short, the doctor doesn't like him very much.
