41: Chapter 41 The entire internet is in tears; the glorious name actually means this?
"Time flies too fast."
"In the blink of an eye, the little girl who once wore pigtails is about to get married."
"To be honest, Dad isn't ready."
"Dad wishes you could grow up a little slower, wishes I could tell you in person..."
The man paused.
He looked at his daughter and made that most profound gesture.
From the phone came that confession, twenty-seven years late:
"Dad... loves you."
Then, he turned to the groom, his expression becoming serious.
"I've cherished this daughter for twenty-seven years."
"Now, I'm handing her over to you."
"You must treat her well, don't let her suffer any grievances, and remember to come home often."
Finally.
He walked to the microphone, no longer using the phone.
Instead, he opened his mouth and, using vocal cords that had long since atrophied, emitted a few muddled, hoarse, yet deafening syllables:
"Wish... you... both... hap... pi... ness!"
The image froze at the moment the father and daughter embraced and wept.
The screen faded to black.
Leaving only a line of white text:
[ Guanghui Technology AI Accessibility System ]
[ Let Love, Speak. ]
Inside the Mingzhu Grand Theater, there was dead silence.
Then, suddenly.
It was unclear who started clapping first.
"Whoosh—"
The applause, like a tsunami, instantly swept through the entire venue!
It wasn't polite applause.
It was heartfelt, full-effort clapping!
In the front row of the media section, a female reporter's makeup was already ruined by tears, but she didn't bother to wipe it, clapping desperately while crying.
Lei Jun also secretly wiped the corner of his eye with the back of his hand.
He turned his head and looked at Lu Li on stage; his eyes no longer held just admiration, but a deep sense of respect.
Making a phone isn't hard.
Anyone can stack hardware.
But to be able to lower one's head while pursuing commercial interests and pay attention to those tens of millions of voiceless minorities.
That is vision!
That is the demeanor of a great master!
The head of Samsung's China region also wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes with a handkerchief and said to the executive next to him in English:
"This is the same philosophy as our 'Heart of the World' series; he is a competitor worthy of respect."
The executive looked shocked; he had never heard this Korean praise anyone, yet now he was actually praising Lu Li.
Hmm, he acknowledged in his heart that this Korean was a good one.
The live stream comments, after a brief pause, went completely wild.
[Wuwuwu! I'm crying to death! That 'Dad loves you' was too powerful!]
[This reminds me of watching commercials on the children's channel when I was little, 'Mom, wash your feet, I'll tell you the story of the little duck.']
[Wuwuwu, I grew up watching public service ads like this!!]
[You can call me a loser, but having grown up watching ads like this, I definitely wouldn't do anything bad; my values are upright to a fault!]
[I'm hearing-impaired, my hands are shaking as I type... Thank you Guanghui Technology, really, thank you!]
[Damn it, I came to see a phone, not to get my tears scammed! But I'm definitely buying this phone! Don't stop me!]
[Who said Lu Li doesn't understand technology? This is what real technology is!]
[Don't worry everyone, I've already knelt down and kowtowed three times to the designer of this feature, I did it on behalf of everyone!]
[Is this a phone launch event? It's teaching other manufacturers how to be human!]
Lu Li stood in the center of the stage.
He didn't seem carried away by the applause of the audience.
Looking at the teary eyes below, he said softly:
"To develop this sign language recognition and voice restoration system, Guanghui Technology invested hundreds of millions in R&D funds."
"Some people asked me, is it worth it for a feature that doesn't make money?"
Lu Li smiled.
His smile was warm and firm.
"I think it is worth it, because—"
"May the glory of technology serve every working person equally."
"This is not just my personal philosophy, it is the philosophy of Guanghui Technology!!"
Whoosh—
The whole venue erupted; the impact of Lu Li's words was no less than throwing a splash of water into a boiling wok.
Offstage, Su Qingxue sat there with her hands folded on her lap.
She didn't weep like others.
She just quietly watched the radiant man on stage, her eyes filled with pride and tenderness.
This was her husband.
The man who usually lounged on the sofa playing video games, yet behind the scenes, held up the sky for countless people who had lost their voices.
At this moment, she thought Lu Li was incredibly handsome.
She also instantly remembered that no wonder Lu Li had been filming commercials a while ago; she had thought it was a promotional ad for Guanghui Mobile.
She hadn't expected it to be a public service ad for the accessibility feature.
Chen Shuyu was even more exaggerated; she was crying so hard that her shoulders were heaving:
"Is the accessibility feature Brother Lu talked about actually this much of a tear-jerker? Damn it!"
But she quickly remembered, what was the deal with the insurance bought that day?
It seemed she hadn't seen it yet; was Lu Li still holding back something big?
Qin Ya didn't come to the launch event, but she watched this scene from the general manager's office at Smart Vision.
Her gaze was firm; Lu Li's philosophy coincided with hers.
In fact, the feature demonstrated this time was something she had stayed up all night to have the lab develop based on Lu Li's Smart Vision AI formula.
This feature seemed free, but it was constantly elevating the brand's value and the brand's vision.
In other words, this was an invincible advertisement.
It seemed like a lot of money was spent, but as long as the new phones sold out, it was all worth it.
"Turning cold code into warm emotion..."
"Lu Li, just how much more do you have hidden in that brain of yours?"
At the launch site.
Lu Li didn't give the audience too much time to calm down.
He knew very well that after being moved, he should strike while the iron was hot, lay out the entire concept, and make the users unable to get enough once again.
"Snap."
A crisp sound.
Lu Li snapped his fingers.
The screen behind him instantly switched, the warm atmosphere immediately replaced by a cold sense of technology.
[Scene Recognition]
[Professional Care]
[Sign Language Translation]
"In the future, Guanghui Technology will continue to focus on the accessibility field."
"But today, there is another feature that has already been implemented on every guanghui 7 series phone."
Lu Li walked a couple of steps to the side and pointed at the big screen.
"We call it—Guardian."
On the screen, a real-life surveillance video appeared.
A stormy night.
A food delivery rider was riding an electric scooter when, due to the slippery road at a turn, both person and vehicle crashed heavily.
The helmet hit the curb.
The person instantly stopped moving.
The rain was pouring down, the surroundings were pitch black, and no one was passing by.
In this situation, if not discovered in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The hearts of the entire audience tightened instantly.
