Chapter 43 Chapter 43 The show begins!
The next morning, the innovation conference started on time.
The venue is set up in the banquet hall of a five-star hotel that can accommodate 10,000 people, which is very classy.
The crystal chandeliers above the head weave a dazzling curtain of light, and giant LED screens surround it.
At this moment, a promotional video for this year's International Virtual Reality Innovation Conference was playing on the screen. Guests in formal attire entered the venue in order, and dense crowds of media reporters occupied every corner of the back row.
It can be seen that all sectors of the industry attach great importance to this innovation conference.
At the beginning of the conference, the chairman of the organizer gave a brief welcome speech, and then entered the keynote speech session.
Lu Yu was the first keynote speaker. The person in charge of the meeting, Tan Xiong, handed him the laser page-turning pen and adjusted the microphone.
Under the stage, Cheng Wu Ju raised one corner of his mouth, revealing a sinister smile, and exchanged malicious glances with Cheng Xiao Yong beside him.
"The show is about to begin!" he said excitedly in a low voice.
Cheng Xiaoyong sat up straight and put on his 100-degree myopia glasses, just to enjoy Lu Yu's embarrassment and the high-definition, uncensored "little movie" in the PPT.
The two brothers were full of anticipation, as if waiting for the New Year's bell to ring, but they did not expect that after Lu Yu came on stage, he directly closed the PPT that Tan Xiong had opened for him just a second ago.
“I use my own computer.”
A sharp voice came out from the microphone, and Tan Xiong's face changed instantly. Not only him, but also Cheng Xiaoyong and Cheng Wu Ju's faces in the audience suddenly turned dark.
Tan Xiong watched Lu Yu produce a business notebook from his arm like a magic trick, and he felt like a fecal stone was stuck in his throat.
He swallowed hard and said, "Mr. Lu, your PPT has been copied to this computer intact. You can use it directly. Why bother..."
"You're talking too much." Lu Yu interrupted him, unplugged the device adapter cable and connected it to his business notebook.
“…”
Cheng Yi sat in a seat at the edge of the front row of the venue, watching Lu Yu complete the keynote speech flawlessly, with a slight wave of emotion in his heart.
He is now like an old father who has worked hard and is looking at his promising goose.
Lu Yu didn't believe in metaphysics, but he trusted his assistant and asked him to bring his own computer. At last, his good intentions paid off.
At the end of the speech, applause broke out in the venue, like surging waves, one higher than the other.
Lu Yu came down from the podium under the watchful eyes of the crowd, with the lights gathered above his head, shining like a galaxy.
Cheng Yi clapped along with everyone else, then looked at Cheng Xiaoyong and Cheng Wu Ju who were not far behind him.
The two men's faces turned ashen and their mouths were twisted with anger, especially Cheng Lao Er, who looked as if every hair on his head was on fire and was about to explode.
The carefully planned show failed to go off as planned. Lu Yu's speech won unanimous praise from industry leaders. Cheng Lao Er left the table in anger. When he came out, he accidentally tripped over a chair leg and nearly fell flat on his face.
Cheng Yi saw his embarrassment and took a deep breath of energy to save all living beings.
He sincerely hoped that his second brother could lay down his butcher knife and become a Buddha right away.
Otherwise, sooner or later Lu Yu would kill him on the spot.
Lu Yu's keynote speech was very successful. After the morning meeting ended, many media reporters rushed to interview him.
"Hello, Mr. Lu. Today, virtual reality technology is becoming more and more mature and has been widely used in all walks of life. How long do you think this virtual reality craze will last?"
"A long time." Lu Yu said.
"Mr. Lu, can you please tell me why you insist on not using the computers provided by the organizer? Do you not trust them?"
Lu Yu: "I updated the PPT."
"Mr. Lu, your competitor is Chengsheng Group. Mr. Cheng Xiaoyong is also here today. Would you consider forming a strategic partnership with him to form a strong alliance?"
Lu Yu raised his eyes, his gaze lightly swept across Cheng Xiaoyong's back not far in front of him, and then fell on Cheng Yi who was a few meters away, his tone slightly deep.
"No. Their technology is backward and their ideas are outdated. I don't think there is any need for cooperation..."
This interview was broadcast live.
Cheng Xiaoyong and Cheng Wuju's faces were completely distorted, with smoke coming out of their heads, as if they were two vengeful spirits who had eaten evil beans.
"Damn it, was Lu a sewing machine in his previous life? How could he be so good at pulling down others!"
"It's also possible that he was born in the Bagua formation. Old Yin and Yang is forcing him."
"I'm so mad, so mad!! I'm so mad that my breasts are going to grow!"
"Don't give birth. Wait for me to stab him at night and curse him to marry a man in this life!"
Neither of the two brothers attended the buffet lunch carefully prepared by the organizer.
To be more precise, both of them were seriously injured and neither of them could eat.
But Cheng Yi was unaware of this and was still searching the world for his two brothers. After walking around for quite a while, only a few vegetables and a pair of grilled wings were put on the plate.
Lu Yu appeared behind him at some point, and frowned slightly as he watched the young man looking around.
"Just eat, don't dwell on meaningless things."
"Ah?" Cheng Yi came back to his senses in a daze, not understanding what his boss was talking about for a moment.
From time to time, people passed by them and greeted Lu Yu. Some even actively provided emotional value, saying that listening to his keynote speech was like opening the door to a new world, intoxicating the body and mind.
As Cheng Yi listened, he put his doubts aside for the time being, and felt that in such an atmosphere, he also needed to contribute some flattery.
"Boss Lu, that's enough," he curled his eyes at the man, "give others a chance to live, don't be so outstanding."
Lu Yu turned his head and looked at him, raising the corners of his mouth in an imperceptible arc, then retracted his gaze and used a chopstick to pick up a Boston lobster for Cheng Yi.
“?!” Cheng Yi was shocked.
Then, a serving of tender beef with black truffle was added to the plate.
Cheng Yi was really embarrassed this time: "No, no... Mr. Lu, I can do it myself."
"This hotel's specialty is baked lobster and black truffle beef, followed by three-shredded whitebait soup. You can try it."
After Lu Yu finished speaking, he signaled to the waiter next to him to give Cheng Yisheng a bowl of freshly prepared whitebait soup, then turned and left.
Cheng Yi was left staring blankly at his back, not coming to his senses for a long time.
No way, in public, is the aloof boss "pampering" him?
It's too much of a Jinjiang male lead, there are people whispering to them beside them...
The lunch ended in a peaceful atmosphere.
In the afternoon there will be a roundtable discussion on virtual reality technology.
Hundreds of elite leaders held free discussions in a non-public meeting.
Lu Yu went to attend the meeting and Cheng Yi returned to his room alone.
His boss didn't assign him any work, but he wasn't idle either.
The morning's work was not finished yet. He held Lu Yu's business notebook, logged into his mailbox, and sent an email to the leader of the organizer of this conference.
His tone also imitated Lu Yu, but it seemed that he tried a little too hard.
Mr. Liu Ping,
I received a report from an anonymous person in your company, saying that someone from the conference organizing team maliciously tampered with my PPT in order to embarrass me. This is a great disrespect to an elite person!
I hope you take this matter seriously, it's not a joke. During the meeting, I am very busy. If you have any feedback, please contact my smart and resourceful assistant. I look forward to your reply.
Cheng Yi deleted the original email as soon as it was sent successfully. Within 5 minutes, his cell phone rang and the number showed that the caller was Liu Ping.
He cleared his throat and waited for the ring to last seven or eight seconds before answering the phone.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, Assistant Cheng, right? I'm Liu Ping, the general manager of Nanrui Group. Oh, I didn't expect that Mr. Lu..." Liu Ping's tone sounded a little anxious. "Assistant Cheng, would you mind talking to me in detail?"
Cheng Yi thought that was so convenient.
He started to make up stories again, fabricating a story in which an employee slipped a note under the door of his company's room to report the incident. Fearing that it sounded too outrageous, he also accused their company of "excessive deception among colleagues."
After hearing this, Liu Ping believed it to be true and thought he had offended Lu Yu. He was so anxious that he almost cried.
Cheng Yi comforted her carefully: "As long as we find out the truth, everything will be fine. You don't have to worry. You must know who is the general manager of the conference affairs group and who has the right to hold all the guest PPTs."
"The keynote speech this morning just ended, and I asked someone to quietly get the PPTs copied on the computer. I saw it at a glance, and I knew it was important to copy them to the conference affairs team's computer, not the original submitted version..."
After ending the call, Cheng Yi relaxed and waited for the result calmly.
He was not worried about accidental injuries at all. Judging from the fact that Cheng Laoer left the table in anger during the conversation, he and Tan Xiong must have done something bad.
It just failed.
Thanks to this clever little guy.
Liu Ping acted quickly. After the call ended, he immediately called the second person in charge of the conference affairs group and asked him to package up all the guests' PPTs copied on the computer and send them to him.
He and two other technicians rushed to check the PPT after receiving it, and were immediately blown away by the result.
The fourth page of Lu Yu's PPT originally had a short video introducing the latest 3D technology, but it was maliciously tampered with to become a short movie full of gay love.
The scene was so shocking to the eyes and the sound was so offensive to the ears that Liu Ping and the two technicians were so embarrassed that they almost broke their toes and felt like cauliflower was about to grow on their bodies.
"What a sin!" Liu Ping wiped the sweat from his forehead and cursed, "No wonder Mr. Lu said this was disrespectful to him. To me, it's more than disrespectful, it's an insult!"
"Fortunately, Lu Yu was very observant and didn't let such dirty things leak out, otherwise I would have been beheaded and maybe even taken to the police station."
Liu Ping set up a special investigation team to conduct a secret investigation and hurriedly replied to Lu Yu's email.
The words were filled with guilt and a solemn promise that a result would be given within 48 hours.
If it was really Tan Xiong who did it, he would be fired from his position and banned from the industry. As soon as the Innovation Conference is over, he will go to Mr. Lu to apologize and ask for forgiveness.
Cheng Yi looked at this long email of nearly 800 words and couldn't help but feel pity. The subordinates cause trouble and the boss takes responsibility. This boss is considered responsible.
He deleted the email and poked Liu Ping, whom he had just added on WeChat two hours ago.
[Cheng Yi]: Mr. Liu, our Mr. Lu has given me full authority to handle this matter. Please contact me in time if there is any progress.
[Cheng Yi]: In addition, Mr. Lu said that you are already quite old, so there is no need to come to apologize. We do not abuse the elderly, we only punish bad people.
Lu Yu was completely unaware of Cheng Yi's private "investigation".
During the tea break in the roundtable meeting, he sent a WeChat message to Cheng Yi.
[Lu Yu]: What are you doing? If you're bored, you can use my room card to go to the top floor cinema to watch a movie.
After a while, the dialog box popped up a reply
【Cheng Yi】: Not boring, a very interesting night market in H City
Lu Yu did not reply.
The roundtable meeting ended on time at 6 pm.
The chairman of the largest listed company in H City came personally to invite Lu Yu to attend a cruise dinner in the evening.
This is his private party, and only big shots are qualified to participate. He only invited less than 5 people out of the nearly 100 guests present.
However, Lu Yu refused.
The other big guys were very curious. Is there any itinerary that is more high-end than a cruise dinner?
Lu Yu said calmly: "I'm going to the night market."
Others: “……???”
After leaving the venue, the elevator reached the 27th floor. Lu Yu did not return to his room, but directly rang Cheng Yi's doorbell.
"...What? You're not going to the cruise dinner but to the night market?" Cheng Yi thought his boss was crazy, "Who is at the night market?"
Lu Yu looked at him: "Don't you want to go?"
Cheng Yi: “?”
No way, he just made it up and his boss took it seriously.
"Well, you may not be used to that kind of place," he advised kindly, "Although it has a lively atmosphere, it is also very noisy and bustling, and people may spit or even urinate everywhere."
"?"
"Oh, I mean the kind of kids who can't hold it in any longer and the adults at home let them do it anywhere."
Lu Yu nodded after listening: "I understand. It's not unacceptable."
Cheng Yi: “…” It’s strange, why is the boss so stubborn?
He couldn't refuse, so he packed up and followed Lu Yu out the door.
The elevator slowly descended from the 27th floor. He took out his cell phone and began to search for the most prosperous night market in H City.
"It's five or six kilometers away from the hotel. We can take a taxi, a bus, or a motorcycle taxi."
"What are you riding on?" Lu Yu asked.
"A motorcycle taxi, the kind where one person hugs another," Cheng Yi imitated the way of riding a motorcycle taxi, using gestures to explain to him, "You hug me, I hug the driver, and the three of us work together..."
"Let's go together." Lu Yu replied.
Joke from hell.
Cheng Yi: “…”
Mo's proposal was denied and the topic ended there.
The elevator gradually slowed down and stopped with a ding when it reached the 20th floor.
The elevator door opened, and Cheng Yi looked into the eyes of the three people standing outside.
Cheng Xiaoyong, Cheng Wuju, Tan Xiong...
Damn, what kind of damn fate is this!
Cheng Yi suddenly felt a little breathless. There was a voice in his head telling him not to say hello to his elder and second brothers, not even to glance at them. If he wanted to keep a good reputation in front of Lu Yu, it would be best for him to ignore all his relatives.
The eight of them stared at each other for three seconds. As the elevator door was about to close, Cheng Wu Jue raised his nose and snorted, "Wait for the next one. The air in this one is not fresh."
Cheng Yi thanked God in his heart that he had never had such a deep affection for Cheng Lao Er.
Looking at Tan Xiong and Cheng Xiaoyong again, they both moved to the side and chose to follow Cheng Wu Ju.
Cheng Yi was glad that he had survived this small disaster. Just as he was about to lower his head and press the door closing button, a hand came over from the door with a "swish".
Like a horror movie.
"!!" He was startled and almost jumped onto Lu Yu who was standing next to him.
Cheng Xiaoyong, the star of the "horror movie", squeezed in from the elevator door with a big head and asked Cheng Yi out of the blue, "Which room do you live in?"
“…”
Cheng Yi suspected that his elder brother forgot to bring his brain with him and asked such a stupid question.
His current identity is "undercover". Can an undercover agent talk casually to his accomplices? !
And he asked such a sensitive question right at the beginning.
While Cheng Yi used sharp eyes to denounce his elder brother's idiotic behavior, he was quickly weighing in his mind how to respond appropriately.
However, before he could open his mouth, a magnetic sound came from above his head.
"He lives in the same room with me." Lu Yu said.
Cheng Xiaoyong: “……?”
Cheng Yi: “……???”
