Chapter 947: Daily Life

July in Lin'an is very hot, but today a fine, drizzling rain drifts through the sky, so naturally, it is not hot. However, the dampness of the rain does not make one feel much more comfortable; perhaps for some, it is even more unbearable.

Thin mist rises on both banks of the Qiantang River. A-Gou pants with its tongue out, sprinting on all fours, its long golden fur rippling in layers, even its ears flapping back and forth. Finally, it finds relief, sitting down on the ground with a thud, stretching out its long tongue to pant and wheeze, too lazy to move any further.

It is its misfortune to have such an owner. It looks resentfully at the person not far away practicing boxing, unable to help but snort; truly, a dog's life is full of hardship, woof...

Wang Yan naturally ignores A-Gou's thoughts. Every time the dog finishes running, it stares at him with wide eyes, as if trying to make him feel so pitiful that his conscience would awaken, urging him to stop torturing the dog so much and let it enjoy some canine comfort. Other people's dogs are willing to tear up the house or be active, but not this one; it only wants to lie down.

Ignoring A-Gou's resentment, Wang Yan, who is more dog-like than the dog, performs two sets of boxing with agile movements. Finishing his practice, he sways as he walks toward home...

Wang Yan

Attributes: Strength 34

Agility 34

Constitution 34

Spirit 119

Unallocated Points 5

This is his current attribute panel. On this trip, he newly obtained five free attribute points; the previous five points were added to Spirit as usual.

As for skills, naturally, there are no major changes, other than having learned many more musical instruments. He kept his word; later, when he had nothing to do, he practiced quite a few. He knows all the common ones, basically all at LV3 level, enough to cultivate his sentiments...

He and Wei Lan have already moved to a new home. The grade of the new residential complex far exceeds the previous one; the internal landscaping is quite beautiful, and there is even an owners' clubhouse. However, all the flashy things are useless, as he doesn't go anyway.

His status and position in the real world are already quite high. Moreover, with the massive construction of the Huludao general zone, involving a huge investment of over a trillion, his role can be called pivotal. Of course, he does not participate in much of that, focusing solely on selling his "great strength pills" and conducting research. He doesn't even spend much money, and he has no other hobbies. Every day, he is either at work or staying at home with his wife, remaining quite detached, as if he truly does not care about worldly affairs.

The front door's facial recognition system is very sensitive. Wang Yan leads A-Gou out of the elevator, and seeing no one following behind, the door automatically opens slowly. After the man and dog enter, it slowly closes.

There is also an anti-theft mode. After all, with such slow opening and closing, if there were a strong person following behind, or a villain taking advantage of the situation to enter, that would be bad. Therefore, once a stranger is identified, it will only open a little, allowing people to enter and close the door quickly. This, of course, involves very complex logical judgments and tests the product quality, as the various transmission structures have a great impact.

Changing into slippers at the entrance, he gets a towel to wipe A-Gou's fur, which was dampened by the rain, and uses a wet wipe to clean the dirty dog paws. After busy work like this, he finally enters the room.

Turning past the entrance foyer, he sees A-Mao lying on the cat tree in front of the window, tail sweeping back and forth as it stares outside in a daze.

Wang Yan changes his clothes and then starts making breakfast. This is considered a benefit of a large house; he is clattering downstairs, but Wei Lan cannot hear him upstairs, so it does not affect her rest.

Today's breakfast is Western-style: sandwiches, fruit salad, fried eggs, milk, steak, and a pile of other messy things.

After finishing the meal, he does not wake Wei Lan, but carries the food to the dining table and eats by himself. Wei Lan is currently seven months pregnant, and for various reasons, it is a time when she is prone to sleepiness; she is always tired all day, but she also cannot sleep well.

Watching Wang Yan start to eat, the two little things, A-Mao and A-Gou, run over, looking on eagerly. A-Mao sits there, meowing.

Wang Yan smiles, not engaging in empty conversation, but just stretches out a finger to point at the automatic food bowls for A-Mao and A-Gou by the wall. The next moment, the machine operates, and food falls down with a clatter.

This, of course, is achieved by cameras placed in several corners of the room, capturing actions, analyzing intentions, and finally executing. It is complex, but also quite easy to use.

There are quite a few cameras, microphones, sensors, etc., inside the house. This is a necessary concession for intelligence. Only by seeing and perceiving can one understand what a person wants to do and provide feedback.

However, the confidentiality is also very good. External hacking is impossible, and internal personnel do not have permission to view it. The image and sound data are all on Long Teng's cloud, or the home cloud platform purchased by the customer. Unless the customer copies and sends it out themselves, there is absolutely no possibility of leakage.

Moreover, the video itself has masking, which cannot be removed by ordinary means because it has gone through several layers of encryption. Ordinary PS, although it can modify or erase the mosaic, can be identified.

Only Wang Yan himself has the permission to view it without any scruples, and he obviously has no interest in that. In general, it is the safest. If he is unwilling to make it public, no one can break his defenses.

As for that automatic cat and dog food machine, it is, of course, developed by their company, and there is nothing strange about it; it is the same as other brands. If one must say it is different, it is that the quality is higher, and it has entered their own smart home system, running smoothly. If one must say another difference, it is that it sells for a high price.

Many of Long Teng's projects are based on the purpose of improving the quality of life and facilitating the lives of customers. Families with pets naturally have to be considered. Especially now, the consumption power of pets is really high, and people who keep pets are naturally willing to spend money.

A-Gou is not in a hurry, first going over to drink two sips of water before starting to eat. A-Mao, however, is quite active. Hearing the movement, it stands up with a start, quickly gets off the tree, and stops in front of its bowl with a tail-flicking drift, crunching away at its food. A-Mao is introverted outside but quite active at home, chasing A-Gou to beat it up all day. Its activity level at home is quite good, and it is the most active in eating.

Occasionally, Wang Yan will cook for A-Mao and A-Gou, mainly to enrich their tastes. However, obviously, most of the time they eat cat and dog food. Wei Lan bought a pile of messy things, with many varieties, stacking up a cabinet.

Thus, one person, one dog, and one cat start their breakfast just like that.

They all eat very quickly...

Wang Yan goes to add water for the two little things again, then takes a shower and changes into the clothes Long Teng issues to employees, which he always wears. When he comes out again, Wei Lan is already sitting at the dining table eating. She is fiddling with a tablet, eating her meal in big mouthfuls.

"How did you sleep?"

"It's okay, carrying such a big belly, it's uncomfortable no matter what..." Wei Lan says quite melancholically, and "ah-woo" finishes the remaining fried egg in one bite, "Your level seems to have improved again."

"As long as you like eating it."

In the previous world, the further he went, the more relaxed he became, with nothing to do, so he started cooking again, which is why his level improved a bit more. Wei Lan eats the food he makes three meals a day; it is normal for her to notice such an improvement.

"Oh my, how could I not like eating it? Not to mention your level is high, not worse than the master chefs outside. Even if you, President Wang, cook yourself, it has to be delicious even if it isn't. A boss as big as you, still cooking for your wife every day, I guess you are the only one. Sometimes I think about it and it feels unreal."

"Should I go out and find two pretty girls instead?"

"You dare." Wei Lan grinds her teeth, "See if I don't scratch you to death."

Wang Yan walks over, pinching Wei Lan's shoulders and neck: "Hurry up and eat your meal, letting your imagination run wild early in the morning. Just hold on a bit longer, there are only two more months, it's an imminent matter."

"Sometimes I feel it passes too slowly, but when I think about it again, I feel it passes quickly. You tell me, it's only been two years, how big the changes are. In two more months, I'm going to be a mom; I didn't even dare to think about it before."

"In another two years, the child will be running all over the ground. Nothing stays the same. You just think too much; what can you do by thinking back and forth? In the end, you still have to adapt and go with the changes. Hurry up and eat." Wang Yan lightly taps Wei Lan's head with his knuckles.

Rolling her eyes at Wang Yan, Wei Lan continues to eat, scrolling through her tablet.

"Let me tell you, you have to participate in the establishment of the bank, and you have to pay attention to the development of the payment system; I don't understand these things."

"Hmm, I have a plan."

"In addition, our translation software is quite easy to use, and the user growth is high. NetEase, Baidu, and other translation software, large and small, are not very friendly to us. Also, because of the advantages of our artificial intelligence technology language module, as well as the performance of our smart home products including Easy-Translate and Smart-Echo, it has affected domestic and foreign related companies like iFlytek, and they are not very friendly to us either. Then there are those doing smart homes..."

"Cutting off someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents; it would be strange if they were friendly. I am not willing to fight them for the market, and I haven't really fought for it. After all, we sell expensive products, replacing the market for high-end products, and suppressing parallel imports. But artificial intelligence is our key core, and they are all related industries, so it is normal to be affected."

"Let them be affected. We can't stop developing our own things just because it affects them. Besides, what can they do to us? If the technology isn't good, it isn't good; saying more is useless."

Before finding alternative work, Wang Yan will not target express delivery and logistics, because that involves tens of millions of jobs, affecting tens of millions of people in the families behind them. However, for some companies and factories, the unemployment of a few people does not give him any psychological burden.

Because those unemployed people will soon find work again, and there is no major impact; his company will even absorb quite a few talents. Furthermore, he ultimately cannot affect the people behind the lowest-priced products; he only affects products that are neither here nor there, with poor technology, poor quality, and no cost-effectiveness. This is the market economy: survival of the fittest.

Either it's cheap and as good as possible, or it's good. The former is cost-effectiveness, the latter is quality; Wang Yan does quality, and he does high-end.

"It's nothing more than smearing, what other methods can they have besides that? Let the legal department pay attention, and sue all those who maliciously attack. Cooperate with the public security organs again, and maybe we can destroy a few groups of internet trolls."

Wang Yan speaks lightly, then turns to ask, "Can you still go to work? You must not force yourself; I've said it many times..."

"The body is the capital of revolution; there is no need to force yourself to work. If you can't do it, just don't do it." Wei Lan takes over the conversation, waving her hand, "I really can do it; it has no impact."

"Anyway, you pay attention yourself; you can work while staying at home. Doesn't our company have many pregnant women? When the belly gets big and it's inconvenient, they all work at home."

"I know, I even handled a few who were slacking off at home. We are already so lenient, and the work isn't heavy, yet they still deal with it like that; why bother? But you can't find our kind of treatment anywhere in the country. And it's not just women; men are the same. We've handled quite a few; they always want to find loopholes. The more lenient we are, the more they think about getting such a high salary without doing any work."

"Why are you getting angry as you talk? What are you angry about? In this world, besides bosses, executives, and various people with hope for advancement, no one wants to work; it's so normal to want to get something for nothing. They have already left the team and paid the price; it's quite good."

The price is actually quite serious, because it is an abnormal resignation, and Long Teng is now a well-known large company, so their next job will not be easy to find. Moreover, Long Teng has party affairs, and the authority is very great. If they are party members, they can be warned, punished, expelled, etc., and recorded in their files; if they are not party members, it can also be recorded in their files, accompanying them for life. At the very least, they have no hope of taking the civil service exam in the future.

Wang Yan has always been very reasonable. If you do something wrong, you have to pay a corresponding price. He also never punishes without warning. In the company's rules and regulations, what is wrong and what the punishment is are written clearly. To avoid no one reading the rules and regulations, the human resources department specially opened a course to explain the rules and regulations during orientation training.

He is already so reasonable, just so everyone can work more easily and have time to live well, but what people want is all to live well. Therefore, knowing the consequences but still violating the company's rules and regulations, what else is there to say? Naturally, he would rather pay more compensation and fire them. Regardless of gender, regardless of whether they are pregnant, the company does whatever the law stipulates; this is very fair.

This is not the company monitoring employees. An incorrect work attitude and not working hard will be reflected in the work results. If you can't do it well, then naturally there is a problem. But in fact, there are also many people who are very efficient. When others are slacking off, they easily finish their work, and they are either staying at home or playing everywhere all day, without any impact, which is naturally very good...

"They even got more money."

"If there are no accidents, that is the largest sum they have earned in their lives. Why bother with that? We have to be reasonable, and even more, we have to follow the law. Is that okay now? Hurry up and eat, drink the milk."

"Don't want to drink."

"Drink half; it's good for the fetus's development. Although our nutrition isn't bad, drink a little to show you mean it."

Wei Lan picks up the cup, "ton-ton-ton" drinks half. Wang Yan doesn't say much, casually takes it over, drinks the remaining half, and puts it on the small cup washer by the kitchen sink. With a few "woo-woo-woo" sounds, it is clean.

This was originally included with the house, quite high-end, with all kinds of messy things. The house has two floors and even a small internal elevator. In fact, this elevator was also a consideration for renting this house, just to facilitate Wei Lan going up and down.

Wei Lan eats and goes to wash up and change clothes. Wang Yan eats the food Wei Lan left downstairs, washes the plates and bowls, sits with Wei Lan for a while, teases the cat and dog, watches the morning news, then goes downstairs, drives the car to the company, and starts a new day of production and life... ===== CHAPTER 948 =====
