<…Artificial Intelligence will be the prevailing trend in the progression of modern society. For the growing tech industry, authorities expressed their high regards. On the other hand, for the artificial intelligence program available on the market, authorities are in the process of completing the necessary regulations to protect the interest of the people and corporations…>
Renren news report.
The government media authority did not report extensively on the details of Future 1.0 as they focused on the bigger picture in regards to the current state of artificial intelligence. They reported mainly on the regulatory environment. However, CTV did praise highly about the outstanding performance of Future 1.0.
The local media was all over the place with their reporting, so Jiang Chen didn’t place too much emphasis on it. Besides, he cared more about the government media’s stance because it often hinted on the perspective the authorities would take.
But now, after the conversation with Wang Dehai, there was no need to pay attention to it.
Jiang Chen, lying on the bed, turned off the domestic news and commanded Little White to pull up the current foreign news.
<Dictator – the next Steve Jobs in the Tech Industry?> (BBC)
[Mhmm, that was what I had planned.]
<Artifical Intelligence and privacy, Truth or Lie?> (CNN)
[The truth was presented to you, it’s up to you to believe it or not.]
<2014 Most Attractive Men> (Mode)
[Did something weird just appear.]
Jiang Chen judged each headline as he continued to scroll through each one before throwing his phone to the side. Just as he was about to go back to the apocalypse, his phone suddenly vibrated.
He picked up his phone. It was Robert who had sent him an email.
<Hi! Buddy, you really transitioned?>
Jiang Chen smiled as he could imagine his shocked look. That guy’s jaw probably dropped to the ground when he saw the guy he knew on the news.
<Of course, please call me the president of Future Technology now. You? Are you still doing the same thing?>
<No, no, no. The FBA invited me twice to chat already. After finishing the Baton guy, I stopped. Please call me producer now :P>
The Baton guy was probably the insider who sold him out. But Jiang Chen didn’t bother with Robert’s business as he would just ask Robert to take him around when he does go to Los Santos. For now, he had no reason to leave the country.
[Of course, who could predict the future.]
Just as Jiang Chen was about to put his phone down again, the phone rang.
Xia Shiyu?
”Hello? Do you miss me?” Lazily, Jiang Chen picked up the phone.
”Are you not coming to work today?”
She cunningly reacted to her superior’s harassment.
Jiang Chen nodded, pleased with the reaction, and continued.
”I have already given you the permission on the specific tasks, can you not let me be a relaxed billionaire?”
”Mhmm. If you have time today, drop by. I had a feeling that you were about the leave for a long time. I still have some things that I need you to decide on.”
Jiang Chen was shocked.
[This girl is psychic, how did she know I was about to leave.]
Jiang Chen sat up from the comfort of his bed.
”Wait, I’ll be there soon.”
－
Different from the usual emptiness, Future Technology’s headquarters already began to feel busy. Because of the need for people, training was halted and people learned on the job.
The employees apparently recognized the president as they cheerfully greeted him.
Jiang Chen smiled and didn’t interrupt their work. Instead, he walked directly towards Xia Shiyu’s office.
”Eh, what do you think is the relationship between the president and Miss Xia?” The cute girl at the front desk poked at her colleague.
”What. If Miss Xia heard you, she'd cut your bonus. Hehe, but if I would guess, it’s not that simple.”
He had knocked before he was given permission to come in with ”Please come in.”
”Hmmm? You are here?” Xia Shiyu’s tone was rather stiff as she dodged his eyes.
A forced smiled appeared on Jiang Chen’s face. [Is it because of yesterday? If it is awkward from now on, it will be problematic…]
He didn’t know why he asked that question.
