"No work badge required?" Xiao Yu asked in confusion.
Mr. Guo paused. "I remember Xiao Liang told me before that every company that moves in here gets some special treatment. Since you're Yan Yu's boss, you probably don't need a work badge. When you came here before, did Xiao Liang give you a full-body scan?"
"...Yes." Xiao Yu: At that time, he thought the other party was checking him to see if he had any dangerous items on him.
"That's right. That machine is Qin Tian's latest technology. Once it is scanned, it will remember your physical features. Others need to swipe their cards, but when you pass by, it will automatically verify." As Mr. Guo said this, he excitedly pulled Xiao Yu to the machine in the lobby to enter the elevator.
Sure enough, when the old man walked over, the baffle on the machine opened.
Mr. Guo went in first, and the barrier immediately dropped. When it was Xiao Yu's turn, the barrier rose again. Xiao Yu didn't feel any scanning or anything else.
"Technology is really getting more advanced these days!" Mr. Guo exclaimed. "I heard that at the Qintian Group, they have this kind of machine installed right in the lobby. Everyone who enters is recorded. If someone else visits, the machine will even identify them, checking their identity online for verification. Is that true?"
Xiao Yu was dumbfounded: "Uh, is that so?" He didn't know. It was his first time there and he had never encountered anything like today.
Mr. Guo: "I heard it's true, it happens in every department."
Xiao Yu thought carefully. He had been working at Qintian Group for about a month (not counting the time he was unconscious), and he really hadn't noticed what Mr. Guo was talking about. But, was Qintian Group really that powerful in 2013?
The smartphones on the market weren't as smart as they are now. Reading novels wasn't as good as today's MP4s, and the internet was still 3G. If such a device really existed, it would surely have to have all sorts of intelligence that was superior to what's currently available, as well as high-performance chips.
I wonder if Qintian Group has any chip-related industries?
I heard that Qintian Group's headquarters in the imperial capital has more than one Qintian Building? Never mind, it has nothing to do with him.
Before the two of them entered the elevator, Liang Shuhua quickly walked out of it. Seeing Xiao Yu and Mr. Guo together, they immediately greeted them with smiles on their faces.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao, for asking you to come here during your busy schedule. The thing is..." After Liang Shuhua welcomed him into the elevator, she immediately and quickly explained the reason why she asked Xiao Yu to come to attend the seminar.
After hearing this, Xiao Yu was so embarrassed that he wanted to pick his ears: "You said the company's first work was Xiao Yuer's "The Immortal Supports the Top"? "
"Yes," Liang Shuhua said. "Xiao Yu'er is currently one of the most popular writers on Qimingxing. His first novel about cultivating immortals, published in 2009, is hailed as the forerunner and representative work of the genre. After much consideration, we decided to adapt his novel into an anime. Of course, the main reason is that he's already quite famous, and his novels have been popular for a long time, which will be of great benefit to our future revenue."
Xiao Yu: If you weren’t such a good actor, I would think that you knew my identity and were deliberately praising me in front of me!
"...But Xiaoyuer has always been very mysterious. It's said he's still a student and doesn't want to show up in public. And Qimingxing isn't willing to reveal his true identity. Several of our playwrights don't write online novels. They're hoping to find someone who does to offer guidance. Another important reason is that this writer, when signing a contract with Qimingxing, requested that he oversee the scripts for his work when it's adapted into an anime. He even announced this on Weibo, stating that if he can't oversee the anime, film, or television adaptations of his novels, he'll publicly announce on Weibo that he'll discontinue them."
"..." Xiao Yu looked at Liang Shuhua with a strange expression, thinking: You know that Morning Star is mine, and you know that I am writing a novel, but you don't know my pen name?
While Liang Shuhua was speaking, the elevator had arrived at the station.
Xiao Yu followed Liang Shuhua and Mr. Guo out of the elevator, and the interior of Yanyu Technology was as quiet as ever.
Mr. Guo was not very interested in the content of the conversation between the two. He looked at Xiao Yu, then at Liang Shuhua, and made a gesture to leave first.
"Mr. Guo, please go and get busy." Liang Shuhua said politely.
Mr. Guo nodded to Xiao Yu and left quickly.
"Mr. Xiao, what are your thoughts on the novel adaptation?" Liang Shuhua saw Xiao Yu remain silent, and then saw Guo Laotao's movements. Suddenly, she remembered the saying "literati look down on each other" and was suddenly awakened. She had just praised Xiao Yu'er so much. Would Mr. Xiao be unhappy? After all, this was said to be a superstar novelist earning tens of millions annually.
It’s his own company, but the first animation he adapted is someone else’s?
If this gets out in the future, won't people point at my nose and scold me for being not as good as Xiaoyuer?
Liang Shuhua: ...So, she guessed wrong? Xiao Yu'er isn't Mr. Xiao? It's all Su Lin's fault. No matter how much she asked, he wouldn't reveal Mr. Xiao's pen name. The senior executives at Qimingxing were also stubbornly stubborn.
"What do you think is the reason why online novels are so popular, Mr. Liang?" Xiao Yu asked.
Liang Shuhua paused, looking at Xiao Yu's face, which seemed a bit serious. She thought to herself: This guy wouldn't really do that, would he? Should she say that intellectuals really look down on each other, or that she was incompetent as a director?
“Convenient, fast and cheap?”
Xiao Yu: ...
Xiao Yu belatedly remembered that it was now 2013, and perhaps people's understanding of online novels was not as widespread as he had imagined a few years later.
But Director Liang, as an external publicity director, you can't possibly know less than others, right?
So she was testing him?
