Praise You
Ye Yuanyin just received the company's beta version of the healing software on his mobile phone. Maha designed the logo to look like a dolphin jumping out of the water with its head held high.
The opening screen showed the sounds of dolphins accompanied by the surging sea. Maha said complacently, "Dolphin sound waves have a certain therapeutic effect on children with autism. This is our fifth draft. Do you think this image is better than the wheat field and starry sky?"
Ye Yuanyin nodded in agreement and asked, "Can I talk to it?"
"Of course," Maha said, "You can talk to it more often. After continuous training, it will become more useful."
"Can you tell me anything?"
"certainly."
Ye Yuanyin felt a vague sense of worry. Healing is essentially a very personal psychological activity. When people share their most vulnerable inner wounds with a machine without empathy, it means granting it the right to explore the bottom line of human nature and ethics.
"Maha," Ye Yuanyin looked at him and confirmed again, "I know you don't like Ji Quan, and I don't like her either. But she said something, and I still want to ask again, is Xiao Ruan's matter really okay? Also, is your financial situation really that bad?"
Zhang Chang felt awkward and uncomfortable at her questioning. He gave an awkward laugh and asked, "Why? Do you want to back out?"
"No. I just think we should give it some more thought."
"It's okay," Maha said with relief, "Mr. Shen has already thought of what you're thinking about. We have a professional legal advisory team, so there won't be any problems. Don't worry."
She looked him straight in the eyes, her tone a gentle reminder, perhaps a warning. "If anything goes wrong with this project, it won't just be you who will suffer. It'll also be me, the person who made the decision out of concern for me, and the millions of users behind it... None of us will be immune."
"Xiao Ye," Maha stopped her, suppressing his dissatisfaction, his voice already filled with anger. "If the project fails, President Shen will only lose an insignificant pawn in his business empire. As his future wife or lover, you will lose nothing. As for me, the person directly responsible for this project, I will be judged by everyone, lashed out, and even fired... I will bear more pressure than you all."
"This project has become a part of my life. Its failure actually represents my failure. I am inextricably linked to it, do you understand? That's why I value it more than anyone else. If you don't understand the effort I've put into it, please don't deny it, because I want to see it successfully launched on the market more than anyone else."
She quickly apologized to him, "I'm sorry."
Zhang Chang smiled helplessly and said meaningfully, "You—are becoming increasingly adept at weighing the pros and cons."
That's not a good adjective. It seems to be saying in disguise that she has learned to calculate and evaluate, and has completely deviated from her origin and original intention.
"What do you want to persuade me?"
"How can I advise you? I just envy—and regret that I'm not a woman."
"So, you look down on me? Are you like everyone else, thinking that my current situation is entirely due to my luck, or because of my natural gender advantage?"
Maha looked at her, his frank eyes filled with uncontrollable offense. "Yes, I sometimes think that way. After all, we have the same background, and my education is no worse than yours, but the opportunities we get are worlds apart. Can you deny that?"
"No." Because of the friendship they had in Jiutao Village where they had fought for a common goal, Ye Yuanyin was very frank with him. It was the first time for her to analyze her inner thoughts so objectively with others.
"I used to think the same way as you. If someone looked at me with prejudice, my first reaction would be to rush to explain and deny the convenience they brought me. But later I stopped thinking that way. Because it was a fact that I liked that person. When I realized that he would also be hurt by my overly sensitive reaction, I made up my mind to change."
"Being with him, what can I do that won't be changed by everyone's prejudice? Being with him, what can I change with my abilities? This is what I need to think about now."
Ye Yuanyin looked him straight in the eye and said, "In my opinion, excessive self-esteem can come from inherent inferiority, but excessive inferiority is not a sign of self-esteem. I didn't make any mistakes. I just fell in love with someone who happened to have the ability to change the fate of some people."
Zhang Chang was silent, and his silence meant that he was also thinking about the meaning of her words.
“I have no ill will towards the project.”
Ye Yuanyin said calmly, "I just wonder, as we strive to change the world with technology, shouldn't we also look at those who are sick from a humanistic perspective?"
"I've lost the most important person in the world to me, twice in a row. Even therapists can become ill from the pressure they feel, let alone children who haven't received systematic psychological training. The human mind isn't as strong as we think. But I'm slowly getting better, so the human mind isn't as fragile as we think."
"Once we launch this app, we'll be facing the pain and trust of countless individuals and families. Do we have the right to judge all these wounded hearts? Do we have the ability to do our best to help them? We can't just launch this app to make money, right?"
Zhang Chang already understood the meaning of her words.
However, no one expected that when KZ Technology held its first product launch conference, it encountered a situation that was even more difficult than they had imagined.
The reporters bombarded the entire release team with their cameras and rifles. Because of Xiao Ruan's death and the interview with his family, KZ Technology was branded as an "unscrupulous company", "profiting from the blood of left-behind children in rural areas", and "seeking fame". Ye Yuanyin was also labeled as "murderous healer", "KZ's fatal choice", "using AI to cover up a blood debt", etc. The reporters had smug smiles on their faces brought by the explosive traffic, but their words were deadly.
As the report spread, people became even more shocked and emotional.
That afternoon, various posts exposing the entire creative team and the capital behind it appeared on the Internet. Various big Vs made detailed and logical analyses, making the already tense situation even worse.
Chen Dian'an had heard of these incendiary marketing tactics and had already secured a public relations team. When cyberbullying attacks occurred, the default golden window for handling them was 2-5 hours. The KZ public relations team was the first to speak out and was organizing relevant personnel to report and delete posts regarding the rumors.
He also specifically instructed Secretary Ma to disconnect Ye Yuanyin from the Internet and prevent her from seeing the negative news.
But that is just an attempt to cover up one's own mistakes.
There is no wall that is impenetrable, and soon her information spread throughout the entire Internet.
"A sophisticated egoist who has forgotten his roots," "Keeping a mistress since college," "Interfering in the marriage of a senior executive of the Shen family," a new round of smear campaigns is coming with great momentum...
When a person is defined by the public as having "made a mistake," it's as if everything about her past, present, and future is wrong. Her family of origin is wrong, her parents' upbringing is wrong, her every move is wrong, and even her existence in this world is a mistake upon a mistake.
Secretary Ma looked at the negative comments that were spreading like a virus in the monitoring background and looked at Chen Di'an with concern. He asked, "Boss, is the team's estimate too optimistic? Should we start a second plan?"
"No need." He gave orders decisively. "It's not time yet. The fish haven't bitten yet. Wait a little longer. As for Xiaoye, have them keep an eye on her. Some irrational people might come to our house and cause trouble these days. Don't let her get hurt."
"receive."
Chen Dian'an's assessment was correct; the situation was far more complex than he'd imagined. Besides reporters, a number of self-media bloggers seeking to capture traffic also flocked to the scene, completely swarming the area below her apartment complex.
Ye Yuanyin thought, fortunately Yaya was sent abroad by him, otherwise the two of them would not even be able to leave the door. The adults could bear it, but what about the children?
Shen Di'an cut off the internet at home and even confiscated her phone. It was as if he had anticipated someone would cause trouble at this critical juncture. But thinking about it, it was obvious that Shen Yuheng would never let go of such a good opportunity.
Apart from taking medicine on time, Ye Yuanyin spends the rest of her time painting. It is rare that she works harder than when she was studying.
The security personnel arranged by Chendi An would drive in and out from the underground parking lot. The only one who could enter the room was a girl with a strong build, a silent and sharp personality, and looked very difficult to mess with.
Ye Yuanyin asked: "What's going on outside?"
"Everything is fine."
"How is he?"
"very good."
"What about the company?"
"Sorry, I'm not in charge of that business."
After two or three days of this confusion, the female security guard received a call and said, "Ms. Ye, Mr. Shen asks you to go to the underground parking lot."
She was like someone who was released from a dark room. Just after she walked out of the elevator and took a few steps, she was splashed with paint by a woman wearing a mask. The paint was bright red and as glaring as blood.
The female security guard was furious at the time. This was an insult to her entire career.
Several photos of Xiao Ruan's death were thrown at Ye Yuanyin. They were blurry screenshots of the scene released by the police. Although blurry, they were still photos without any cover, bare, cold, and without any sign of life.
"You murderer! Do you have any conscience?! Bitch!"
When Ye Yuanyin first saw those photos, the intense impact of the images was overwhelming. It was a living being, a person whose memories had overlapped countless times with hers.
She felt palpitations.
With the increase in security personnel, the attacker was subdued and fell to the ground. Ye Yuanyin was taken away from the scene under the protection of a female bodyguard and she got into a black nanny car.
Looking up, the person sitting inside was Chu Jinxi, who was wearing sunglasses and wrapped herself tightly.
"Why is it you?"
"Hey, Xiaoye, wipe it quickly."
Chu Jinxi asked the driver to drive faster.
Ye Yuanyin wiped his eyes with a towel, the redness left on his face was not easy to wash off.
"Thank God," Chu Jinxi stroked her face and said fearfully, "I was so careless! Fortunately it wasn't sulfuric acid or oxalic acid - if you were hurt, Chen Yan would kill me."
From what she said, it wasn't Yan Dian's intention to come and pick her up.
"Fourth Aunt..." Ye Yuanyin looked at her questioningly and said, "I don't know if I can still call you that now? Where are you taking me?"
Chu Jinxi gave her a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, they're one of us."
The next second, Chen Dian'an called.
Chu Jinxi knew what he was going to say and what he would blame her for. To avoid any complications, she decisively hung up the phone and urged the driver, "Time is urgent, Master, please hurry up."
Ye Yuanyin was nervous, but he tried his best to pretend to be calm on the surface: "What on earth are you going to do?"
