Chapter 54 Unexpected
Jiang Guier picked up her phone and saw the words "biological mother" on the screen. She hung up without saying anything.

The phone rang again.

Lu Qing saw this but pretended not to care and said, "Your mother cares about you. It's okay, don't worry about me being here. Go ahead and answer the call."

"Excuse me." Jiang Guier greeted them, picked up her phone, and got up to go outside.

"Mom, what do you want?" Her tone wasn't very friendly when she answered the phone.

"I heard you're going abroad to study. You've decided to study overseas." Jiang Yun's simple statement shattered Jiang Guier's preparations for a proper conversation.

"I'm not going to study abroad, Mom, just give up on that idea. Your lackeys have already tattled on you so quickly." Her tone was sarcastic. Even if Qian Xin and Lin Wan had turned against her, she would definitely do what she decided.

"You've really grown wings. You have to take responsibility for your actions." The voice coming from the phone receiver was like shattered ice; Jiang Yun's tone was icy and dangerous.

Jiang Guier almost subconsciously moved her phone closer to her ear. She leaned against the wall, her fingertips gripping the edge of the phone case tightly, tense and strained.

"Mom, I'm already at the airport and about to board. We can talk about anything when I get back."

She spoke in a low voice, yet it carried an unyielding toughness, her eyes slanted upwards, like a cat ready to pounce and retaliate at any moment.

“I heard you’ve been getting close to the boy who helped you fix the letters last time, someone who can barely support his studio and has to deliver food.”

Jiang Yun had someone investigate and learned about Jiang Guier's recent movements. Shen Huaizhou's personal information had already been placed on her desktop.

"Mom, what's wrong with Shen Huaizhou delivering food? He's creating his wealth with his own hands. Why do you look down on him? Didn't you also start from nothing and succeed through your own hard work? What? You've been a boss for so long that you look down on hardworking young people? You're being too condescending."

Originally, Jiang Guier did not want to have a conflict with her mother, but the words spoken about Shen Huaizhou were too harsh. As the only person who was helping her now, she could not tolerate Shen Huaizhou being slandered.

She said firmly, "I am an adult and can take responsibility for my own actions. If you have nothing else, I'll hang up now; it's time to board."

"you dare!"

"Beep beep...beep beep..." The busy tone on the phone immediately turned the usually composed Jiang Yun's face up.

Jiang Guier shoved her phone into her pants pocket, wiped her eyes, and went into the bathroom next door to wash her hands. She was still a little teary-eyed from her emotional outburst.

She tried to calm herself down, taking deep breaths, but her slightly red eyes and still tense jawline couldn't help her relax quickly.

A few minutes later, she went outside and saw Lu Qing walking over.

She went up to him and asked, "Is Mr. Lu leaving?"

Lu Qing observed her for a moment, "Yes, that's right, it's time to board. I'll take this opportunity to introduce you to my team."

She led Jiang Guier toward the team, where they saw seven or eight young people in dark gray shirts talking amongst themselves.

"Ms. Jiang, let me introduce myself. My team includes algorithm engineers specializing in model training, a hardware team, and a logistics team. This trip to Taiwan was mainly at the invitation of a Taiwanese technology company to collaborate on AI large-scale model computing power. Um, I apologize in advance, but after learning your name, I asked my senior colleague and learned that your mother's company is developing intelligent medical research and development, and we hope to have cooperation in the future." Just now, seeing the unpleasant look on Jiang Guier's face when she received the call from her mother, he took advantage of Jiang Guier's phone call to tip off Shen Huaizhou, greatly exaggerating the situation. That's how he learned from his senior colleague that one of the top figures in their industry is someone's biological mother.

Upon learning this, Lu Qing was even more impressed with Shen Huaizhou. He was indeed her senior brother. She had originally thought he was just someone her senior brother liked, but she never expected that he had such a powerful background.

He suddenly realized that perhaps his senior's days of delivering takeout were coming to an end.

Lu Qing decided that he must cultivate a good relationship with Jiang Guier so that they could collaborate in the future. This would allow his company's research and development to be implemented and generate profits as soon as possible, making everyone happy.

"AI big model? I've heard that's very profound, involving computing power, which is a completely incomprehensible term."

Jiang Guier's eyes lit up. She was very curious about the new field of knowledge. Her mother had previously hoped that she could learn and read more. "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, I don't know much about my mother's company. If you need anything, I'll ask for you next time."

Lu Qing was secretly delighted. "It's okay, no need to ask. I'll give you a simple explanation of what computing power is."

Lu Qing took out his tablet and randomly opened a computing power architecture diagram. "Computing power is crucial. You need to calculate and build a distributed cluster properly, otherwise data transmission latency can reduce efficiency by half."

The last time he sought Shen Huaizhou's help in an emergency was in this very situation. His senior brother handled it with ease, while his team struggled for so long. It's infuriating to compare people like that.

Sometimes, hard work can be crushed by talent.

Seeing Jiang Guier's puzzled look, he thought for a moment and said, "I may have used too many technical terms just now, and my explanation was a bit too profound for the average person to understand. Let me give you a simple analogy. For example, when you transfer a large file on your phone, if the Wi-Fi is a little slow, it will lag terribly. If the communication of the computing cluster can't keep up, the model training can be so slow that it can drive you crazy."

He led Jiang Guier towards the boarding gate.

"so complicated."

Jiang Guier stared at the densely packed content on the tablet, her brows furrowing. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly. "What you were saying earlier about distributed clusters, computing power, and efficiency—it all sounded like gibberish to me. Thank you for trying so hard to make me understand, but I think I'm still missing something." She gestured with her hand.

"Normal people would do this; it's something that requires a certain level of understanding."

Lu Qing didn't take it seriously and began boarding the plane as he spoke.

After boarding the plane, he deliberately switched seats with someone and sat next to Jiang Guier. After sitting down, they started chatting.

"Let me tell you, my senior brother is an expert in this area. If you don't understand anything, you can ask him later. You two are familiar with each other."

"Your senior brother?" Jiang Guier looked somewhat confused. "Who is he?"

"Shen Huaizhou?" Lu Qing was also somewhat puzzled. "You don't know him?"

"Shen Huaizhou? Is he your senior brother?" Jiang Guier's pupils dilated.

She had been wondering how the two knew each other, but it turned out they were fellow disciples.

Then why is he... delivering food?
