Chapter 261: Chapter 180 Jiang Jiang Likes Him

Qi Xingzhou spoke in an even tone, yet Jiang Ning’s heart was far from calm upon hearing him.

What was Qi Xingzhou saying?

That VR smart program, he developed it?!

Fortunately, Qi Xingzhou wasn’t beside her at the time, or Jiang Ning might have been unable to resist taking apart his clever little head to study it, to see what it was made of.

Everyone has the same head, so why is his so brilliant?

Jiang Ning took a deep breath to steady her emotions.

No wonder the Qi family members had contacted her before the show started filming, telling her not to be afraid.

No wonder Qi Chen had told her that the show had investment from the Qi family.

She had not expected that the primary backer behind the scenes was right by her side!

The feeling Jiang Ning had at this moment was akin to one she had experienced in a game she used to play: she had cautiously protected a fragile little seedling throughout the game, only to find out at the very end that the seedling was the instigator of everything.

Jiang Ning: "..."

She opened her browser and searched for the VR equipment partner of the "Survive for 30 Days" show; she quickly found the result: Changzhou Technology Experimental Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Qi Corporation, part of Qi’s independent research and development department. Although it had only been established for a mere three or four years, it had already developed many smart products and applied for national patents for several research findings. Its smart products even once became a best-selling boost for Qi Corporation’s sales. It wasn’t that other companies hadn’t tried to poach them, but the research department of Changzhou Technology had always been shrouded in mystery...

Changzhou Technology Experimental Co., Ltd.

When Jiang Ning saw this name, her expression was already choked up.

Could it be any more obvious?

No wonder Ji Shuang had told her during their first meeting that the products Qi Xingzhou had developed for Qi Corporation were selling well.

She had thought Ji Shuang saw Qi Xingzhou with a benevolent mother’s halo, but all the signs had been there all along.

Jiang Ning sighed, "How is your little head made, to be so clever?"

At the age of ten plus, he aced the middle school math exam; in his twenties, he developed a VR smart system that was beyond the reach of ordinary people. No matter how you look at it, it’s perfect.

Qi Xingzhou’s ears twitched, picking up that Jiang Ning was praising him.

His eyes first registered some confusion, then he couldn’t help feeling happy.

Although he didn’t know why Jiang Ning was praising him, if Jiang Ning praised him it must be because she liked him!

Qi Xingzhou looked at the colorful book lying at his feet.

He had been reading it seriously these past two days, and although he didn’t quite understand it, it didn’t prevent Qi Xingzhou from understanding the language on the surface.

The female lead in the book often praised the male lead for being smart!

Jiang Ning had just praised him.

Both his ears had heard it.

The expression on Qi Xingzhou’s features, so sharply defined, came alive, his eyes shining brightly, and even his voice couldn’t help but lift, "Jiang Jiang is smart too."

He liked Jiang Jiang very much.

...

News on the internet changes in the blink of an eye.

Song Ranran cut a segment of surveillance footage she had been watching over and over for the past two days and posted it on TikTok.

She was looking for someone.

Yesterday, after she and her husband came home from work, they learned from her mother-in-law’s hesitant demeanor that their son had fallen from the third floor!

Song Ranran was startled and immediately wanted to take her son to the hospital for a check-up.

Then her mother-in-law told her that she had already taken her son for a check-up that afternoon and there was no problem.

Watching her lively and bouncing son in her arms, Song Ranran, having recovered from the shock, couldn’t help but doubt whether her mother-in-law was intentionally deceiving her.

Her son was just over one year old. If he had really fallen from the third floor, how could he be unharmed?

Then, she learned the whole story from her mother-in-law.

Song Ranran’s husband was also startled.

Moreover, it wasn’t just her mother-in-law who said so—familiar neighbors and vendors also exclaimed the boy’s good luck after seeing the couple.

With so many people telling the couple that their son had fallen from the third floor and been saved, they had to believe it, whether they wanted to or not.

The couple went about their tasks: one took their son to the hospital for a through range of tests while the other went to nearby shops to review surveillance footage.

Bad news: Her son had indeed fallen from the windowsill!

Good news: Hospital examination results revealed no serious harm.

Song Ranran, watching the surveillance footage, felt her heart leap every time she saw her son crawling onto the balcony, even though she knew he was saved later.

Of course, she was even more grateful for the young woman who happened to pass by the street, noticed the danger her son was about to encounter, and caught him with her bare hands.

For the past two days, Song Ranran and her husband had specially taken time off to stay at home. They took the surveillance video and asked the neighbors, but no one recognized the girl in the footage.

Clearly, the lifesaver was not a resident from the neighborhood.

From the surveillance, it was clear the person had left after saving the child, apparently considering the act just a daily good deed.

But to Song Ranran and her family, this daily good deed was an immense kindness, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that she saved their little family.

Therefore, Song Ranran decided that no matter what, she had to find the lifesaver from the surveillance footage and thank her in person!

Searching online was the quickest and most convenient way!

Song Ranran posted the trimmed surveillance video online and briefly described the incident that happened the previous afternoon.

She wasn’t a Douyin influencer—her account only had a few videos of daily life, and her followers were also just twenty or thirty, most of whom were relatives and friends from real life.

To get more people to notice the video, Song Ranran directly spent ten thousand yuan to boost its popularity.

After paying, she sat on the sofa with her son in her arms, eyes glued to her phone, and clearly noticed the view count on her video skyrocketing in an instant.

[Holy cow, holy cow!!!]

[Damn, catching a kid barehanded?!]

[Good heavens! This girl is so brave!! Seeing that the child was about to fall, she didn’t think twice and just dashed to catch him with her arms! If she hadn’t pulled it off, her hands would’ve been ruined!]

[Too risky! From such a height, she managed to catch the child perfectly!]

[Ahhh, I’m getting goosebumps from watching this]

[Please, please, the poster must find her! Thank her properly, without her, the child would have definitely been in grave danger]

[Sending three little flowers to the poster]

[This girl must be a martial artist, look at the way she caught the child, and the way she used inertia to rotate her arm and body in a circle after catching the child, not only lessening the gravity on the child but also greatly reducing the impact on her body]

[I think I know who she is! I took a photo with her that day!]

[Who, who? Did the case get cracked so quickly?]

[Hmm, let me sift through my album and compare.]
