Chapter 224: One stone stirs up a thousand waves
After the product session, HEART-C5.0 became the focus of discussion. Naturally, Liang Weining, who represented Xizhou Technology, was invited to the stage by the host politely.
First there was the closing presentation, and then there was the first speaker.
The organizers really gave Xizhou enough face.
Since the medical rehabilitation line was revitalized last year, the name "Liang Weining" has become familiar to the industry. However, most people still have the impression of her in the traditional industrial field.
So her appearance on stage today will undoubtedly refresh the outside world's perception of this little girl.
At least, even she herself did not expect that it only took two years from tearing off the label of "secretary" to having her own name, and then to the current "special guest".
Everything seems simple, but in fact, it is not easy.
Indeed, at this moment, there are countless pairs of eyes watching her, from industry giants to media reporters and start-ups.
No one can predict what kind of effect the content of the following speech will cause, and what level of questions and doubts she will be greeted with.
As the person on the stage adjusted the microphone, the applause from the audience gradually died down until it became completely quiet.
The girl had done some homework on her speech etiquette beforehand, and from an observer's perspective, she seemed calm and composed, not showing any nervousness at all.
As for the opening remarks, Liang Weining finally decided to improvise.
Her eyes fell towards the audience and she spoke slowly: "When I received the invitation letter from the organizer, my first reaction was to check if there was any mistake in the name column."
In an occasion filled with big names, the humble attitude that is indispensable for a rising star was clearly displayed by this director.
Just the next moment, the person on the stage changed the subject.
She continued, "After thinking about it carefully, I feel that the probability of error should be very small. There are many people with the same name as me in the country, but it seems that there is only one Liang Weining who witnessed the birth and launch of HEART-C."
As soon as he finished speaking, several technology giants in the front row smiled at the same time.
Liang Weining's perfect expression management also subtly softened her expression.
The atmosphere was not as serious as imagined. In fact, everyone's emotions were moved by the little girl and they began to slowly get into her story.
"Two years ago, like many other students, I left school with my dreams. At that time, there were two options before me. Either I follow my father's wishes and return to my hometown to take the civil service exam. Or I stick to my original intention and stay in Hong Kong to prove to my parents that I can do it. Obviously, I chose the latter without hesitation."
At this point, Liang Weining paused and smiled helplessly: "But in fact, my so-called original intention was just because I invested heavily in a stock, and I had less than 200 yuan on me, so I had no money to go back."
It may be exaggerated, but it is an indisputable fact.
A representative of a start-up company in the audience asked which stock it was specifically.
Young people’s focus is always very clear.
Liang Weining calmly said the stock code. The questioner quickly took out his phone to search. After getting the answer, he looked up and asked in surprise: "China Hong Kong Group?"
The speaker remained silent for two seconds and admitted it generously.
"That's right. My entire fortune depends on this, so I can't afford to be careless. So later, I became the chief secretary of the China and Hong Kong Directors' Office."
This time, the audience burst into laughter.
"Unfortunately, after two years at China Harbour, all I seem to have seen are fallacies." Liang Weining made his ambitions public in a lighthearted manner, "For example, if you don't want to be the director's secretary, you're not a good investor."
Without waiting for the audience's reaction, she went straight to the point and naturally talked about HEART-C's five-year plan for the future.
"From preliminary diagnosis in the early stage to auxiliary treatment in the mid-term and even rehabilitation monitoring in the late stage, we can completely realize a comprehensive medical structure and meet 90% of daily health needs. Some people may ask, if everything is handed over to AI, won't doctors be collectively unemployed?"
Liang Weining's words successfully brought everyone back to their senses.
The balancing of AI and human interests has always been a controversial social topic.
She doesn't think she can offer any unique insights, but she can only make one statement: "No matter what version it evolves into, it will not and cannot take anyone's job away. Because starting in the spring of next year, HEART-C will officially withdraw from the AI medical market."
What, delisting?
After a period of silence, the scene suddenly fell into chaos.
It was like the deafening sound of an explosion. When the shocking words came out, everyone thought they had heard it wrong.
Until some media came to their senses and took the lead in holding the microphone and asking loudly: "Is the sudden announcement of HEART-C's withdrawal from the market related to the medical accident that occurred in a nursing home in a neighboring city at the end of last year, or is it another problem with product quality?"
"China and Hong Kong invested a lot of money in product research and development, but now they are withdrawing. Did they receive any inside information about the change in the industry trend?"
"It is rumored that the former CEO of Xizhou Technology was deported for masturbation. Is the delisting of HEART-C related to this?"
Reporters came one after another to ask questions, each word was sharp and each sentence hit the point, and the scene was lively.
Liang Weining remained calm throughout, standing straight in front of the podium, as if he had anticipated the consequences of a huge uproar.
What is Mr. Chen doing at this moment? Is he watching the live broadcast?
Will you be angry?
What awaits her, understanding or anger?
There is probably no other director in the world who is as bold as her. Liang Weining couldn't help but give herself four words: ungrateful.
As my thoughts came to an end, the atmosphere in the audience had reached its peak.
Holding the microphone with his hand, Liang Weining spoke slowly: "Ladies and gentlemen, each speaker only has 20 minutes."
This means that there is limited room for everyone to play.
Hint to them not to talk about topics unrelated to the product, otherwise it would be a waste of public resources.
A summit, unprecedented chaos. And all this just started from an idea.
Next, the organizer stepped in to maintain order. Liang Weining adjusted his mindset and answered reporters' questions in an orderly manner.

At the same time, in the port area.
In the cold twelfth month of winter, Taiping Mountain is shrouded in mist and warm sunshine. From a distance, its majestic outline on the horizon looks like a crawling, silent giant beast.
It was almost eleven o'clock, and the study was unusually quiet. If you passed by from outside, you could faintly hear the occasional sound of papers being flipped, and the clear and crisp voice of the girl in the video.
When the housekeeper knocked on the door and entered with the medicine, the chairman was standing in front of the bookshelf with his back turned, flipping through foreign translations and making notes on them with a pen.
The smell of medicine was strong, and Chen Song frowned slightly. He raised his hand to signal Uncle Yuan that he would be excused today.
According to usual practice, not taking medicine means that he intends to have a drink at noon.
Since he retired to the second line, the chairman is rarely seen in such a refined mood.
It's inevitable to be curious.
The butler put down the tray and silently glanced at the tablet on the desk.
The video is still going on. The girl is wearing a simple business suit and speaks clearly. Facing the cameras and cannons of the reporters, she responds calmly with a smile. Her every word and action seems to be at ease. Secretly surprised.
The chairman stayed in the study for a whole morning just to watch the junior’s speech?
He did not overlook the fact that this young man was none other than the marriage candidate favored by his eldest young master.
Last time I was on the phone, I heard the housekeeper in Pok Fu Lam called her Miss Wei Ning.
Liang Weining.
A very scholarly name.
As I was thinking this, I heard the chairman casually ask, "What time is your flight this afternoon, Boss?"
Think briefly.
The housekeeper said, "Around four o'clock."
"If you're not busy, ask him to come back some time."
After saying this, Chen Song walked to the desk with the book in his hand, paused for two seconds, lowered his eyes and glanced at the tablet, and slowly instructed: "Notify the group's vice president of human resources and draft a letter."
The butler didn't know what the specific content was, but he could see that the chairman was in a very good mood today.
Years of experience only provide a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg.
It seems that in this stalemate between father and son, the white piece has finally won a game.

On the other hand, after the summit, Liang Weining declined the organizer's invitation to a banquet and drove directly to the company.
As soon as she stepped into the office, Alina knocked on the door and came in hurriedly. "Everything is in chaos now. The department's front desk phone is almost blown up."
"If you feel annoyed, just unplug the phone line."
"I don't dare to unplug it. Special Assistant Xu called me a few minutes ago and told me to remind you to keep your phone open before 8 o'clock tonight."
"Whose order?"
Alina was speechless.
Boss, you're asking this question even though you already know the answer.
Eight o'clock.
Based on this calculation, the flight should be around four o'clock in the afternoon.
Looking at the desk, Liang Weining reached out for the phone and pressed and held the power button.
“Is there any high-end restaurant nearby suitable for team building?” she asked.
fine dining
Based on her memory, Alina quickly named several stores.
It’s not far from the company, so after eating, I can return to Xiangyue Mansion before eight o’clock.
There was silence for a while, and then the phone kept ringing with calls. One call ended and another started.
The professionalism of those media outlets is admirable.
"You can set it up to block unknown numbers." Alina spoke at the right time. Even though she had a thousand questions in her heart, she didn't say anything at this critical juncture.
Although I don’t know why the product was suddenly withdrawn from the market.
However, the impact of delisting is almost a fatal blow to the boss.
As a subordinate, Alina racked her brains but couldn't understand why Liang Weining would personally kill her hard work at its peak on the eve of the branch company's performance report.
That’s a project with a market value of over 10 billion yuan.
Just say no?
What she was more concerned about was whether the boss had obtained the personal signature of the top person before making this decision.
If not.
I dare not think too deeply about it. If I continue to think about it, it will become a horror story.
That night, Liang Weining hosted a dinner for all colleagues in the department in his personal capacity. It was ostensibly a team building event, but some sensitive old employees could sense that it was a farewell dinner.
Saying goodbye means leaving.
They didn't know where the boss was going.
As the glasses clinked, everyone laughed and talked happily in the soundproof private room, looked forward to the future at a young age, and sang "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" over and over again.
Liang Weining discovered that these little kids can be quite crazy sometimes.
You can sing if you want, but why do you suddenly hug her and cry?
"."
I feel so scared.
To relieve the inexplicable tension, I drank one cup after another, but it seemed that I could not get drunk no matter what I drank.
It was not until about 7:30 that the screen of the mobile phone next to me lit up and I received a private message from Assistant Xu.
[Has arrived in Beijing, will be downstairs at the restaurant in ten minutes. ]
? ?
The air hits the pause button.
Liang Weining was stunned for two seconds and asked: [He came to pick me up? ]
Without waiting for anyone to react.
He quickly hinted: [Let the driver go around a few more times, thank you so much! ]
【.】
Xu Zhou's expression paused and he subconsciously looked at the central rearview mirror.
In the back seat, his husband sat with a calm expression, his eyes closed, resting.
In this situation, dare to do something small.
I'm afraid you're looking for death.
Before the end, I will try to update daily (but the number of words cannot be guaranteed). Thank you for your waiting, post~
