Chapter 889 The Entertainment Industry, The Original Female Lead Killed by the Transmigrator (55)
Jingyan, on the other hand, chose to devote herself to the field of technological innovation, which is full of challenges and opportunities, after graduation, which was unexpected by everyone.
Jingyan had suitors since junior high school because of her good looks, but all of them ended up disappointed. Although she was not yet an adult in her original form, her mind was already mature; it was just that her physical form was still that of a cub.
Because her cultivation level was high enough from birth, she could change her form according to her will after transformation. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, her growth rate was normal, but she had never been enlightened in matters of the heart.
As she grew older, her appearance became more and more outstanding. Although she looked more like Xiao Yun's body, she actually combined the best features of both her parents.
Many people thought she would enter the entertainment industry and follow in her parents' footsteps. After all, she was truly blessed with good looks and a beautiful singing voice. She was also skilled in many musical instruments and proficient in calligraphy, painting, and music.
She was a goddess-level figure in college. Whenever there was a gala performance or a stage play, she was always the one who received a standing ovation and was the headliner. Even when professional school students came to compete, she could easily crush them.
Her performances were recorded by her classmates and uploaded to the internet, where they became very popular for a long time. So everyone thought she would go down this path. But as soon as she graduated, she plunged into scientific research and development and even produced a number of patents.
Xiao Yun originally thought that now that the children were grown up and the company was handed over to them, she could finally relax and enjoy life in this world.
After all, the main storyline of this world revolves around the entertainment industry, which is why she opened an entertainment company to serve her own people, not to build a huge business or become the richest person in the world.
But now that her daughter is making such a fuss, she can't lie down anymore and has to get moving.
My daughter chose this profession; if she excels too much, she'll attract unwanted attention. It's not just abroad; there are people in China who will stop at nothing for profit.
Sending her to a research institute could avoid this, since she would be protected 24/7. But she didn't want to hand her daughter over to the state.
Firstly, I'm reluctant to leave. There's so much to do at the public research institute. When I'm busy, I don't even have time to eat. It won't be easy to see each other in the future. I also have to mentor students, and I can't help but mentor them even if I don't want to.
But people vary, and who knows what kind of character a student is? How many students have betrayed us?
Secondly, this child is not an ordinary person. She has too many secrets. Even the smartest and most perceptive person cannot guarantee that they can keep everything perfectly secret. Let alone a child who has only been in this world for twenty years, there is absolutely no need for her to create trouble for herself.
Of course, she couldn't work in someone else's private research center either, and she didn't want her daughter to suffer under someone else's thumb, so she had no choice but to start her own business again.
Xiao Yun used funds from his personal account to set up a technology company for her and even bought land to build a research center.
This tech company made money almost as soon as it opened, because it had the finished products that Jingyan had researched before, and all the necessary permits and licenses were in place, so it could be produced and sold immediately.
The next step is to use Jingyan's existing research results to make money, which will then fund her later projects. Once the previous one is phased out, new research results will emerge...
Jingyan formed her own research and development team while she was in school, and the members were all her classmates and alumni.
These people were all recruited by Jing Yan herself, and she used various methods, even resorting to underhanded tactics.
One of the geniuses was Tang Jing, her classmate. Tang Jing originally planned to start her own business after graduation, but in order to recruit her, Tang Jing not only offered her a high salary and shares, but also used her beauty to lure this ambitious young man into working for her.
Of course, she didn't use her beauty to seduce him; she used her younger brother, Jingrui, because the other party was a woman.
To win over talent, he even sold out his own younger brother; that's truly unbelievable.
Fortunately, Jingrui was willing to do it, otherwise, who knows how things would have ended up.
When Jingrui met Tang Jing through her arrangement, he fell in love with her at first sight. Tang Jing was not only highly intelligent and a rare talent in scientific research, but also a beautiful woman with a great figure.
Jingrui was initially reluctant to go on a blind date with his sister, but he was immediately smitten and fell for her. Before Jingyan could even ask him to seduce her, he eagerly chased after her.
Fortunately, his appearance was to people's liking; otherwise, he might have lost both his wife and his money.
Of course, Jingyan is quite thorough in her actions; she doesn't act haphazardly. She investigated Tang Jing's preferences for the opposite sex before making her move.
Moreover, she didn't mistreat her younger brother either. Not only did she find him a capable wife, but she also gave him shares in the tech company, allowing him to enjoy dividends without lifting a finger.
Jingyan had informed Xiaoyun and Xiaoyu about this beforehand, because she was afraid they would be angry that she was risking her brother's life.
Actually, the child was overthinking things. Xiao Yun had no opinion on the child's marriage or love life. As long as the child liked it, that was fine. As long as the other person wasn't a terrible person, she generally wouldn't interfere.
Having lived through so many worlds and raised quite a few children, she has long since developed her own set of experiences.
Moreover, children's rebellious phase is not limited by age. Sometimes, even if they don't really like someone, they may have just developed a liking for them or become attracted to them. But as soon as their parents intervene, they suddenly become deeply in love and wish they could follow them to the death.
If you don't interfere and let them develop freely, they will soon discover each other's shortcomings and realize that they are not suitable for each other, and breaking up will be inevitable sooner or later.
As long as the other party doesn't set a trap for her child and lead them astray, she lets the child discover things on their own. Of course, although the children she gives birth to in each world have different personalities, what remains constant is their intelligence.
Even if a smart child is fooled, the effect is limited, and they can quickly realize what's going on, so she never worries about these things.
As for Jingyan, she wasn't worried at all. Even if she was mentally mature, she was still a baby in body and couldn't possibly fall in love or get married in this world.
So when she said she wanted to be single, neither she nor Xiao Yu reacted at all; they even spoke up for her.
However, Xiao's parents were very anxious. They were quite traditional and felt that a girl's life would be complete if she had her own family. It wasn't that they wanted her to find someone to rely on, after all, Jingyan was so capable that she could start a company at such a young age. Who knows who would rely on whom in the end?
But being alone is always lonely. After the parents and elders pass away, and the younger brother has his own family, there will be no one to talk to when you come back. A nanny or someone else is never as reliable as family.
Jingyan wouldn't talk back to her elders, and she knew their intentions were good for her. So when her grandparents were talking, she would laugh and interrupt, leaving the two elderly people helpless.
As time went on, people gradually got used to it. After all, Jingrui had several children and so many younger relatives; surely one of them could take care of this aunt.
The elderly couple lived a comfortable life in their later years, and thanks to the physical enhancements Xiao Yun had given them, they remained healthy and lived to be over ninety years old before passing away.
The two elderly people passed away on the same day. After having lunch as usual, they went back to their room for a short rest, but they never woke up again.
To depart this world peacefully and without pain is, in the eyes of many, a fortune that many others yearn for but cannot attain.
By then, Jingrui's oldest child was already a teenager, and he had even met several of his great-grandchildren. They truly had no regrets.
As for Xiao Yun and Xiao Yu, they lived to be over ninety years old in this world before leaving with Jing Yan.
They were waiting for Jingyan, because she was sure she would leave with them. But they couldn't bear to leave her too early, so they waited until they were in their nineties.
Jingyan was already over seventy years old at that time. She created the illusion that she had died suddenly from an illness. Then the elderly couple pretended that they could not accept the bad news and also passed away. The three of them left together.
They left so gracefully that Jingrui, the old man, almost cried his eyes out.
Suddenly, his parents and sister were gone. Although his wife, children, and grandchildren were all around him, he still felt abandoned and left behind.
It took him a long time to recover. For the first few days, he wouldn't eat or drink, and seemed determined to go with them. His wife gave him a good scolding, and only then did he start to cheer up a little. It took him several years to recover.
After Jing Yan passed away, her will was revealed, in which she donated her private research center to the country.
When the country actually took over, they realized what a heavy donation it was, containing blueprints for mechs and spaceships! And those with warp drive systems at that.
The national leadership was shocked and immediately organized a top-notch research team to study these drawings.
Then we arrive at a surprising conclusion: it's entirely feasible!
These blueprints are sufficient to build the product using existing national materials, without the need for forging or searching for new materials.
As research progressed, the nation gradually mastered the technology to manufacture mechs and spaceships. The entire world was abuzz with excitement, and humanity's technological level experienced a qualitative leap.
They also discovered that these so-called scientific research gurus underestimated those who run private technology companies. Xiao Jingyan's technology company was very large and had always been very successful, but it had always focused on civilian applications, so it had not attracted the attention of higher authorities.
No one expected that he was such a brilliant genius. It seems we need to pay more attention to the talents in schools and conduct more industrial surveys. Maybe there are other hidden gems out there.
Some people just don't understand why, given her abilities, she only handed over her belongings after she died. Was she worried about being targeted? Did she not trust the country to protect her?
After all, many scientists in the past were persecuted, so much so that they later had to be protected in order to conduct research in peace, and during this time they could not contact their families.
As a result, while many people are willing to sacrifice and dedicate themselves to this cause, many others have also backed out because of it.
I suppose Xiao Jingyan felt the same way; she was afraid of losing her freedom, so she kept hiding her talent.
If we had known she was this capable, she could have set any conditions she wanted. Besides, many years ago our country was strong enough that we weren't afraid of other countries coveting our territory. If they dared to come, we would have chopped off their hands!
If she had cooperated with the country earlier, these things could have been developed many years sooner.
Of course, it's no use thinking about these things now, but it's not too late. Other countries have long had ideas about spaceships, and some have even built them, but they can only fly around Earth and can't go into outer space because the fuel can't be consumed without being replenished for a long time.
But with a warp drive system, things are different. Spaceships with this capability can travel to more distant star systems in a short time, allowing them to explore outer space.
Other countries have already behaved themselves, so China is not afraid of being targeted by others and announced it as soon as it was completed.
Foreigners and Chinese people were fine, just a little incredulous and excited. It was the younger generation of the Xiao family who couldn't hold back first. Even Xiao Jingrui was stunned. They really didn't know that their sister/aunt/great-aunt was so amazing that she could even build a spaceship!
Although I always give them some novel high-tech toys and tell them not to take them outside, this is a spaceship! A spaceship that can jump! And they only found out now! My sister/aunt/great-aunt kept it a secret for too long. I wonder if my parents/grandparents/great-great-grandparents know?
Xiao Jingrui's son and grandson inherited his and his wife's high intelligence, and are particularly interested in science and technology. When they learned that the spaceship was made by their aunt and great-aunt, their first thought was not curiosity or a desire to ride in it, but rather a desire to study and learn about it.
Knowing how amazing their aunt/grandmother was, they insisted on following her around to learn from her, and they wouldn't leave even if they were scolded or beaten!
It's a pity, the person is already gone, thinking about it now is no use...
After leaving this world, Xiao Yun and her family of three didn't rush to the next world to do missions. Instead, they went to the interstellar orc world, reunited with their goddaughter Wang Shu, and stayed there for a few more years.
Wang Shu has already successfully transformed into a dragon. Now she is a red fire dragon, and she looks so beautiful. Her scales are all fiery red, which makes Jing Yan very envious.
Wang Shu collected all the scales that had fallen off over the years and gave them to her godmother and sister as gifts. She knew that her godmother loved such bright and shiny things. If she didn't know that her godmother's true form was a nine-tailed celestial fox, she would have thought that she was also a dragon.
Xiao Yun and her daughter happily accepted it. The scales not only had the aura of the dragon race but also the fire element. They were crafted into jewelry-style magical artifacts that were both beautiful and practical.
Xiao Yun already had quite a few golden scales given to her by Xiao Yueyue, and now she has added red ones. She wonders if there will be other colors in the future.
Now she's the mother of two dragons. With their aura, she might attract even more dragons in the future. No, not two dragons, but three! She also has a godson named Yunlong!
Although it was a dragon born from the nation's destiny, it was still a dragon, and its color was a golden hue with purple undertones. I wonder what it would look like if it actually existed, and whether its color would change.
