Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

Chapter 950: CCTV Report: Xiao He Technology Company Exposed!

However, what Xiao He and Ling Hui Entertainment and the others did not expect was...

Although the incident of Xiao He and his companions being attacked abroad has been deliberately downplayed, and complex topics related to international wars have been avoided as much as possible, the novel ”The Root of Calamity” has been promoted to attract attention.

To their utter surprise, it was CCTV that brought the topic to a climax once again.

Although the central media had indeed spoken out for Xiao He before for various reasons, Xiao He did not expect that after so long, he would still be so fortunate to be widely reported on.

He didnʼt even appear in CCTVʼs news reports—yet Xiao Heʼs name was everywhere in those interview videos.

Every passenger who experienced this incident praised Xiao He and his team.

The interview scene was comparable to a massive fan-driven praise event. Even the reporter holding the microphone couldnʼt hold back, and netizens watching the news couldnʼt hold back either, jokingly saying that the official account had also become a fan of Xiao He. This news was practically a Xiao He promotion column, and it felt like this series of interviews was created entirely to promote Xiao He.

Thereʼs a saying, isnʼt there?

I made these dumplings just for this dish of vinegar!

This even led to the creation of a meme.

The meme depicts a chubby middle-aged man gesturing wildly and speaking excitedly, while the reporter in front of him stares at the man in disbelief.

At the very bottom of the image is a line of small text: 【When you want to aggressively promote and self-promote, be like:】

Netizens laughed out loud when they saw this meme and promptly saved and used it.

Well, Zong Jiwei probably never imagined that at the moment of the interview, he would one day become a cyber symbol, and his emoji would be permanently circulated on the Internet.

Of course, in this news report, the reporter did not simply report these things.

Most importantly, in later reports, the CCTV host actually took the initiative to mention Heguang Technology and the Xiaohei AI technology that Heguang Technology possesses!

When Xiao He saw this news, he was a little dumbfounded.

”What the heck? How did they get in touch? I donʼt think I did anything wrong. Why are we suddenly talking about this?”

Xiao He immediately sat up straight, not understanding why CCTV had suddenly mentioned his company.

”According to the reporterʼs investigation, Mr. Xiao, this enthusiastic citizen, is currently running a technology company related to the AI ​​industry.”

”Their latest product, AI map navigation, boasts numerous advanced features. It has already been widely applied in domestically developed drone rescue technology and has played a crucial role in numerous rescue operations across the country. For this purpose, we specifically invited Professor Wang Tianhua from the National Academy of Sciencesʼ AI R&D Special Project Team...”

Xiao He squinted and took a closer look, and realized that this Professor Wang Tianhua, who suddenly had a name, was none other than Engineer Wang, whom he often saw.

Then, Engineer Wang picked up the microphone and began to talk at length about their Xiaohei AI technology, then discussed the map navigation and positioning system, and the XI upgrade system they would be collaborating on in the future...

As he recounted his story, the reporter joined in with exclamations of amazement.

Xiao He was completely dumbfounded.

No, when you were promoting this, did you ever think that I myself didnʼt even know you were going to promote this?

Moreover, he was very low-key this time. He only used the system urgently to identify the location of the criminals and automatically plan a safe navigation route when he was leading everyone out of the airport.

After escaping, he did not publicize the system, nor did he take all the credit for it. He simply said that he was lucky and that he led everyone to choose the right path and successfully escaped.

The result was unexpected—

Good grief, official account, you actually betrayed me?

Clearly, after this incident, some people who knew Xiao Heʼs situation gave him a push.

Regardless of whether they used AI technology to escape in the first place, they must be related to it.

As for whether it was the Qian family or the research institute, Xiao He could no longer be sure.

After all, Wang Gong has already made a public appearance to be interviewed by reporters and helped promote their technology company, so what else can he say?

Sure enough, after the evening news was officially broadcast, not only was Xiao He himself dumbfounded, but netizens were also dumbfounded.

【Huh? Xiao He and a tech company? How are they connected? And even a sect elder came forward to endorse him. Itʼs obvious the authorities are extremely fond of him. What has he done to deserve this?】

【If this news hadnʼt had the CCTV logo, I would have almost thought it was a fan-made story. Is the reporter definitely not a fan of Xiao He? All I saw from beginning to end was the phrase ”Xiao He is awesome!”】

【Are you sure this isnʼt just a coincidence of names? Although Brother Xiao and his group also got off that flight, maybe itʼs another kind-hearted citizen with the surname Xiao?】

【Thatʼs unlikely. The interviewees all specifically mentioned celebrities and their teams. On this flight, the only celebrity team that came up was Xiao Geʼs group. If it wasnʼt Xiao Ge, who else could it be?】

【It seems like we have to go through this every year, and every time someone still doesnʼt know that Brother Xiao graduated from a prestigious university with a degree in computer science. Has this really become obscure knowledge? Brother Xiao and his team donʼt do any marketing or promotion, so itʼs impossible for people not to know this every time.】

【No, I know Brother Xiao graduated with a computer science degree, but itʼs hard to find a job these days, so I thought thatʼs why he became an actor.】

【So whatʼs the stock code for HeGuang Technology? Can I buy it?】

【Well, you can forget about it then. I checked immediately, and HeGuang isnʼt a publicly listed company; it doesnʼt have any publicly traded shares.】

【Damn it! I missed the chance to buy merchandise related to my idolʼs stock!】

【Wow, the person upstairs is really something! Youʼre buying stocks like theyʼre merchandise?】

Netizens were abuzz with discussion. What surprised them most was that Xiao He had secretly started a technology company behind their backs. The official explanations and the enthusiastic talk from the research instituteʼs tech leaders about the Xiao Hei AI system made the netizens feel a sense of unreality.

Xiao Heʼs phone was ringing off the hook, forcing him to activate the protection function and have the system automatically filter out the calls to avoid disturbing his peace.

Only one personʼs call successfully came through.

”Hello?”

Xiao He glanced at the phone before answering it.

”Boss, youʼre finally back in the country!”

Xiang Chuan shouted excitedly from the other end of the line, ”Whatʼs going on in the news? Our companyʼs phones have been ringing off the hook, and my cell phone has been ringing non-stop. I barely managed to get a chance to call you!”

”Ahem, who are you?”

Xiao He coughed lightly and asked in confusion.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then he couldnʼt help but explode, roaring, ”Boss! Iʼm Xiang Chuan, the general manager of your He Guang Technology Company!!! Iʼve been managing the company for so long, and you donʼt even bother to look at the monthly financial statements I send to your email. You even contact Mr. Dai Bai directly when you need to contact the company. Donʼt you remember I exist?”

To be honest, it was a little heartbreaking to say those words.

Xiao He subtly moved the microphone away slightly, chuckling to reassure her, ”Of course I know who you are. Itʼs been a while since we last contacted each other, so let me reintroduce you! Besides, doesnʼt this just prove that I trust you completely with the company in charge? Iʼll also be asking you for help this time. Please come to Beijing and attend some upcoming tech business events on my behalf...”

The other side fell silent once again.

”Boss, I just got back to Shanghai.”

Xiang Chuan was truly exasperated with his boss, who was acting like a hands-off manager. He said very tactfully, ”Iʼve been away from the company for quite some time now. There are a backlog of contracts in Shanghai that I need to handle personally. I might be a few days late before coming to Beijing. So, it would be up to you, boss, to handle these negotiations in person these next few days. Is that alright?”

”Huh?”

This time, Xiao He really went through it in his mind and realized he hadnʼt noticed it before.

Xiang Chuan could only earnestly explain his incredibly demanding work schedule over the past few months:

”Boss, you went to Hong Kong not long ago and you called away Professor Dai Bai, one of our companyʼs most important core researchers. Later, several other important researchers were called to Hong Kong by you. So I can only continue to work hard to recruit people on the technical side.”

”Then one day, Professor Dai asked me to go to Hong Kong to help them sign a contract and discuss technical cooperation there, so I went to Hong Kong with him and talked with the investors and partners there for half a month...”

”Later, Professor Dai and his team went back to Beijing with the people from the research institute. So I was asked to go to Beijing to discuss cooperation projects with the research institute and the restoration center. After finishing all the cooperation projects in Hong Kong, I immediately flew to Beijing to handle the work there—I just landed in Shanghai yesterday.”

Looking out at the darkening sky through the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, Xiang Chuan couldnʼt help but wipe away a tear as he finished speaking: ”Thereʼs a lot of work piling up here in Shanghai too, and Iʼm simply overwhelmed.”

Xiao He: ”...”

Well, hearing this, this capitalist who was supposed to be a hands-off manager really felt a pang of heartache.
