Do you have a photo of the former hospital director?
Yi Jinbai shook his head, "I don't have any now, but there should be some in the orphanage. I've seen them before, but I don't know if they're still there now."
"The event is over, let's go take a look."
The problem that had troubled Jiang Shuiyun for so long now seems to finally have a glimpse of what's going on.
Yi Jinbai frowned slightly, tugging at Jiang Shuiyun's sleeve with some concern, "What if the old dean and your teacher... are really the same person?"
Jiang Shuiyun hugged Yi Jinbai reassuringly, "Then we'll go find my teacher and ask her for clarification. It's okay, no matter how dramatic it is, it's impossible for us to be biological sisters. I've already done the paternity test."
Yi Jinbai couldn't help but laugh. Her heavy mood was greatly relieved by Jiang Shuiyun's words. Yes, even if there were things they didn't know, so what? No matter what happened, they would still choose to be together.
"Let's go down the mountain for lunch. I heard there's some kind of fish here that's really delicious. Shall we try it?"
Jiang Shuiyun glanced back at the ancient tree, Yi Jinbai placed the red silk in his hand on the tree, and the two left hand in hand.
After they left, a gentle breeze blew by, and the red silk ribbon bearing the names Sui Yu and Yi Yunmu fell to the ground where it had been.
At the same time, a child dressed in plain clothes walked from another direction, carrying a bamboo basket. He walked to the tree, tied another red ribbon with the names Yi Jinbai and Jiang Shuiyun written on it to the tree while standing on a stool. After tying it, he clapped his hands, sat on the stool, took out a peach from the bamboo basket, took a bite, and said, "Mmm, sweet."
The trip to the Temple of the Matchmaker was just a minor incident and didn't stop Jiang Shuiyun and Yi Jinbai from continuing to play and stroll around. On the day of the event, the two arrived at the event venue on time.
"Professor Jiang, Professor Yi, we're old friends," the person in charge greeted the two with a smile. "Thank you both for taking the time to come."
You're too kind.
Jiang Shuiyun and Yi Jinbai went straight backstage and were resting when there was a knock on the door of the lounge. When they opened the door, they were surprised to see Shen Fu.
"Mr. Shen, it's been a long time."
Since Jiang Shuiyun left, the two have basically not seen each other, but they have kept in touch quite often, since they are in a cooperative relationship and communication is essential.
After spending a long time with him, Jiang Shuiyun felt that Shen Fu was a very good person, a principled businessman, and a good partner.
"Professor Jiang, Teacher Yi."
Shen Fu greeted them as he entered, and after the three sat down and tea was poured, they chatted for a bit before Shen Fu brought up the important matter.
"Professor Jiang, I wonder if your company has any plans to continue developing holographic games?"
Shen Fu brought it up himself, saying that the Star Wars experiment was undoubtedly a success, officially ushering in the era of holographic games, but there can't be only one holographic game.
However, the core technology is all in Jiang Shuiyun's hands, and no one can do anything about it unless she speaks up.
Jiang Shuiyun looked at Shen Fu and nodded. "To be honest, it's already in production. Mr. Shen, would you be interested in continuing our collaboration?"
“It’s our company’s honor,” Shen Fu said without any further ado. “Professor Jiang, actually, there’s something else I’d like to discuss with you.”
"President Shen," Jiang Shuiyun poured tea for Shen Fu, "Regarding cooperation and company matters, President Shen can just go directly to Yun Yi. I'm just a hands-off manager. Besides, given the relationship between our two companies, as long as there's cooperation, your company will definitely be given priority. President Shen, please rest assured."
Shen Fu shook his head with a wry smile. "Professor Jiang, to be honest, I deliberately bypassed Yun Yi to come see you. Yun Yi is a headache to talk about. When I offer the lowest possible solution and give you the greatest benefit, he feels that I treat him like a child and make things convenient for him in every way, and he complains to me. When I offer the normal solution, he has to negotiate repeatedly to fight for even greater benefits. I really get a headache just looking at him now."
Jiang Shuiyun trusted Shen Yunyi, and Shen Yunyi did not disappoint Jiang Shuiyun's trust, especially when it came to cooperating with the Shen Group. He was meticulous in everything he did to strive for the greatest benefit for the Jianghu Group. However, he did not want to be taken care of by Shen Fu as before, so he was extremely conflicted and caused Shen Fu a lot of trouble.
Jiang Shuiyun was both amused and exasperated by the situation. "I'll go talk to Yunyi about this."
Shen Fu put down his teacup. "This is only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. I know that because we've always treated Yunyi like a child, he's always wanted to prove himself. Yunyi has indeed impressed me. I have to thank Professor Jiang for this. So now Yunyi only listens to you, Professor Jiang."
"What does President Shen mean?" Jiang Shuiyun realized that Shen Fu had come to talk to her not about company cooperation, but clearly about Shen Yunyi.
"I plan to hand over all the projects that Shen's Group and Jianghu Group are cooperating on to Yunyi. I believe he can do a good job. I hope Professor Jiang can help me persuade him."
Jiang Shuiyun was somewhat surprised by Shen Fu's words, but upon reflection, it made sense. Just as she trusted Shen Yunyi, Shen Fu and Shen Yunyi were brothers, so of course she trusted and understood him even more. Rather than going back and forth like this, it would be more convenient to leave everything to Shen Yunyi and cooperate with him.
"I will. Mr. Shen has really gone to great lengths to be a good older brother to me."
When Jiang Shuiyun agreed, Shen Fu breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Jiang Shuiyun would have many concerns and had already thought about what conditions to offer, but he didn't expect Jiang Shuiyun to agree so readily.
"Thank you, Professor Jiang. There are three brothers in my family. Our father is getting old and what he wants most is for the family to be harmonious. We can't count on our second son, who passed away suddenly. We can't let our third son follow in his footsteps."
Being the eldest brother is really not easy for Shen Fu. The second brother is never obedient and is always away from home, running as far away as possible. The third brother, who was originally the most obedient, has also started to rebel as he grows up. He has to handle everything at home and at work, and he is really overwhelmed.
Jiang Shuiyun listened, feeling sympathetic but also somewhat puzzled. "President Shen, you don't need to manage everything for them. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings... that's the gist of it."
“That’s what my father thought. He didn’t care about anything from childhood to adulthood. I raised my second and third children single-handedly, but I didn’t manage them well either.”
Shen Fu and Jiang Shuiyun chatted for a few more minutes before parting ways. Jiang Shuiyun saw him to the door, closed it, looked at Yi Jinbai, and couldn't help but shake her head, "Raising children is really difficult."
Seeing Jiang Shuiyun's concern for others, Yi Jinbai couldn't help but laugh, "Then when you have children, won't you be worried to death?"
Upon hearing this, both of their expressions froze. Jiang Shuiyun moved closer to Yi Jinbai, hugged the blushing Yi Jinbai, and rubbed Yi Jinbai's belly. "Jinbai, when do you think we can have a child?"
"Shut up!"
The two were arguing when there was another knock on the door. When they opened it, they found it was the Miracle Team.
"Captain, Sister Jinbai!"
As a star team in Star Wars, Team Miracles will naturally be invited to this event.
It's been almost half a year since Jiang Shuiyun retired and left, and they've finally reunited.
"They all performed very well."
The people around him were chattering. Jiang Shuiyun knew that the Miracle Team had not disappointed him since he left, so he naturally praised them.
After recounting the past, Yao Yao Ling looked at Jiang Shui Yun with shining eyes, "Captain, have you tried holographic mode? Really holographic?!"
The holographic mode of Star Wars has only been tested internally, and today's event is the first time that others have been able to experience it. The members of the Miracle Team are also extremely excited and couldn't help but ask Jiang Shuiyun in advance.

Chapter 82
Seeing their expectant looks, Jiang Shuiyun deliberately kept them in suspense, "Why don't you experience it for yourselves later and you'll find out?"
"It's going to be a live broadcast later. What if we're too inexperienced and make a fool of ourselves?"
The venomous snake also chimed in, trying to elicit information.
Jiang Shuiyun pretended to think for a moment, "The initial holographic game still retains some of the manual operation, so it seems that the difference won't be too big."
Seeing that Jiang Shuiyun was really about to speak, everyone listened with wide eyes, but after listening for a long time, nothing more came of it.
"Then what?"
The Apostle of Slaughter couldn't help but press for answers.
"And then?" Jiang Shuiyun stood up, holding Yi Jinbai's hand. "Then the event is about to begin, get ready to go on stage."
As soon as Jiang Shuiyun finished speaking, Xi Rong rushed in from outside the door, hurriedly greeted them, and brought these living ancestors back. They were the first to go on stage and should already be waiting backstage.
Yi Jin waved Jiang Shuiyun's hand, "Then I'll go too?"
"Wait a minute," Jiang Shuiyun pulled Yi Jinbai aside, glancing at Lei Yu standing beside her. Lei Yu handed her a square box.
Jiang Shuiyun opened the box in front of Yi Jinbai, and inside lay a gemstone necklace as smooth as clear water. The gemstone in the very center was particularly striking, as if it could be painted, its top crystal clear and gradually turning into a pale pink below, perfectly matching the dress Yi Jinbai was wearing today.
When did you start preparing?
Yi Jinbai was pleasantly surprised. She didn't even know when Jiang Shuiyun had prepared it for her, even though the two of them had been together for the past two days.
"We had someone prepare it a long time ago, but it just hadn't been delivered yet. It's perfect timing, it's arrived now."
As Jiang Shuiyun spoke, she took the necklace out of the box and put it on Yi Jinbai. The precious but not flashy gemstone necklace accentuated Yi Jinbai's slender and fair neck, making her look like she had washed away all artifice and was ethereal and otherworldly.
After putting all the matching jewelry on Yi Jinbai, Jiang Shuiyun told Yi Jinbai that he could go and prepare.
As the countdown to the event began, live streams on various platforms instantly filled up with viewers, becoming a hit both domestically and internationally. Numerous streams were rebroadcast, demonstrating unprecedented popularity.
Yi Jinbai stood in his designated spot behind the large screen, adjusted his microphone, and quietly waited for the countdown to end.
The moment the countdown reached zero, the curtain slowly opened with Yi Jinbai's clear voice. Then the host and the invited team appeared. The appearance alone wouldn't be particularly amazing. What was amazing was that all the characters in the game also walked out with them, stood on the field, and greeted everyone in a lively manner. They could even interact with the team members, and there was not a trace of artificiality.
Not to mention the viewers watching the live stream, even the team members who were kept in the dark and unaware of the situation were almost dumbfounded. They then had a great time playing with these holographic images and almost went too far.
Everyone who was supposed to appear made their appearance. Yi Jinbai appeared in the palm of the most powerful game character, but this did not affect her singing at all. Her voice remained steady and penetrating, perfectly matching the content of the game.
Everyone surrounded Yi Jinbai, and countless magical beasts descended from the sky, circling around him before rising with a sacred halo.
At the very end of the song, a deafening roar erupted, and Yi Jinbai was lifted to the highest point. Countless flowers and grasses bloomed on the hideous game character beneath her feet, and a giant planet appeared behind her.
Amidst countless gasps of amazement, the planet froze, and the entire scene transformed into a real-life version of the Star Wars homepage.
The opening was absolutely unprecedented; it stunned everyone with just the opening sequence, and at the same time, the number of viewers watching the live stream continued to rise.
When the host announced Jiang Shuiyun's name, the scene and the live broadcast room erupted in cheers. Amidst the exploding fireworks, Jiang Shuiyun walked out.
As the pioneer of the holographic era, the creator of this holographic game, and a former e-sports star, Jiang Shuiyun's significance to this game is immense. Her appearance can be described as a game-changing surprise.
After a few brief pleasantries with the host, it was time for the part everyone was most looking forward to: a hands-on demonstration of the holographic game.
The holographic version of Star Wars has undergone many changes, just like before, but the core elements remain the same.
Jiang Shuiyun sat in the gaming chair, opened the game, and in an instant, the entire stage was plunged into darkness, and then suddenly lit up again. It felt exactly like being in the game. The immersive experience was beyond words; they were truly in the game.
"This is amazing!"
Team members who also entered the game exclaimed in amazement.
In this astonishing game, Jiang Shuiyun once again demonstrated what absolute dominance means. Almost all of her actions were perfect, and her combat prowess was on full display as she effortlessly dispatched everyone else in the arena. She also tried to explain the game's controls to everyone, but of course, it was all in vain, since no one could actually do it.
After the game demonstration ended, the stage returned to its original state. Jiang Shuiyun and Yi Jinbai had essentially completed their tasks. After the host expressed his gratitude, Jiang Shuiyun took the initiative to walk over, hold Yi Jinbai's hand, and the two walked off the stage together.
[Isn't this outrageous? I have to watch a game stream and be bombarded with PDA?]
[Let me express my envy out loud. What's the point of all this drama? Does it even affect the other person?]
Professor Jiang's favoritism is truly blatant!
I must say, Professor Yi is truly beautiful! I'm starting to feel a bit like Professor Jiang...
[Don't run! Professor Jiang is coming with a knife!]
