Chapter 0160 New Heights
The cold snap of deep winter has finally dissipated.
City A has welcomed the beginning of spring.
The harrowing incident at the abandoned warehouse was resolved in the fastest and most efficient manner.
Wang Qiang is suspected of kidnapping, extortion, commercial espionage, and tax evasion.
Multiple offenses will be punished concurrently.
What awaited him was a long and seemingly endless period of imprisonment.
Aurora Technology went bankrupt completely, leaving not even a signboard behind, becoming nothing more than ashes in the business world.
The details of the kidnapping case have inevitably been revealed by the media, revealing only the tip of the iceberg.
Public opinion was in uproar.
The public, who were initially hesitant about Limitless due to the "plagiarism controversy," have now become staunch supporters.
"A desperate counterattack" and "the light of technology" have become Limitless's new labels.
A week later.
The "Muse" AI art creation system has been officially released.
The press conference was an unprecedented success.
On the first day of its launch, the product was downloaded over ten million times, and the server capacity was expanded several times.
It is powerful and aesthetically pleasing.
It completely overturned the industry's perception.
The capital market gave the most direct response.
Limitless's stock price soared like a rocket, hitting the daily limit for several consecutive days.
A ride to the dust.
Everything has settled down.
Jiang Ci won a complete victory in this battle.
……
Three months later.
Nasdaq.
A clear chime rang out, broadcast via satellite to financial channels around the world.
Limitless successfully went public.
Jiang Ci's net worth doubled again overnight, exceeding 100 billion.
He was twenty-three years old.
It has officially shed its "tech upstart" label.
He became the true and unshakeable business tycoon of City A.
Wherever he appears, he is always the center of the spotlight.
Those capitalists who once looked down on him and tried to suppress him can now only look up to him.
And Wen Ning.
They did not retreat into the background under his enormous halo.
As the chief art architect of "Muse", she submitted the painting "Vitality" and its subsequent series of derivative works to the International Digital Art Biennale in Paris, France.
That is one of the most prestigious competitions in the global art world.
The result is no suspense.
"Vitality" won the highest honor, the Gold Award.
At the awards ceremony.
Wen Ning stood on the podium, dressed in a smart black fitted suit.
She did not bring a translator.
He delivered his acceptance speech in fluent French.
Confident, composed, and radiant.
It did not rely on Jiang Ci's capital operations.
Pure overwhelming strength.
Domestic media outlets were in an uproar.
The headlines of both the finance and entertainment sections were dominated by these two people.
Those who once mocked her as a "pretty face," a "gold digger," and someone who "slept her way to the top" have completely disappeared.
Instead, there was an overwhelming flood of praise and amazement.
[Wen Ning, a renowned young artist.]
This is the new title given to her by major media outlets.
No longer with any prefix.
She is no longer "President Jiang's mysterious girlfriend" nor "the Zhou family's down-on-her-luck heiress".
She is Wen Ning.
Netizens are going crazy over this.
[A powerful couple! This is the ultimate love story!]
One is a tech tycoon, the other a genius painter. Even novels wouldn't dare write something like this!
Evenly matched! A perfect match!
She finally used her paintbrush.
They carved out their own path in this steel jungle.
It grew full, plump wings.
……
May.
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
A joint celebration banquet for the launch of Limitless and the gold medal win of "Vitality".
As night falls, luxury cars gather.
Countless media outlets aimed their cameras and microphones at the end of the red carpet.
A black Maybach slowly came to a stop.
The car door opened.
Jiang Ci stepped out of the car.
He wore a dark blue bespoke suit, exuding a powerful aura, as cold and aloof as a god.
Meanwhile, the other car door opened at the same time.
Wen Ning got down.
She wasn't wearing one of those white dresses that symbolize fragility today.
She also didn't wear that aggressive red dress that symbolized a break.
She wore a minimalist, starry black haute couture evening gown.
Her long hair was styled in an updo, revealing her slender and graceful swan neck.
His eyes were clear and his confidence was strong.
Jiang Ci walked around the front of the car and stood beside her.
He didn't put his arm around her waist with the possessiveness he used to.
He didn't let her act like an accessory, clinging to his arm.
He simply stood beside her.
He tilted his head slightly and looked at her.
Wen Ning also turned his head.
Eyes facing each other.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
In that one glance.
Gone are the previous feelings of probing, unease, guilt, and almost pathological possessiveness.
There is only pure pride and an appreciation of equal strength.
They stood together.
They are like two trees growing side by side.
Roots intertwine underground, leaves touch in the clouds.
"Let's go, Wenzhou University artist."
Jiang Ci spoke in a low voice.
His voice was filled with undisguised pride and amusement.
"Yes, Mr. Jiang."
Wen Ning's eyebrows and eyes curved.
They started walking at the same time.
No one is in the lead, and no one is behind.
Under the spotlight.
Amidst a barrage of flashing lights.
They stood shoulder to shoulder.
Step by step, calmly and confidently, they stepped onto the pinnacle stage that belonged to them.
