"Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company acquiring the magazine office? It doesn't make any sense at all, they're completely unrelated. Why did he acquire it?" someone said speechlessly.

"The real BOSS of their company is Jiang Cheng. Could it be that because we rejected his paper not long ago, he decided to acquire the publishing house to forcefully publish his paper in our magazine...?" someone voiced a very absurd, yet ironically realistic guess.

Everyone was speechless upon hearing this. However, upon closer thought, this guess seemed to be the most accurate, as if it were indeed the case!

Everyone looked at each other.

One of the people who had previously criticized Jiang Cheng's paper as nonsense stood up and said, "If that's the case, then I'll resign too!"

"Yes! I'll resign too! Resigning in protest!" someone else said.

The intern, Luo De, listening to these words, couldn't help but feel a bit enlightened. The mysterious Eastern genius he admired, Jiang Cheng, truly had a unique personality. Just having his paper rejected led him to directly acquire their magazine publishing house?!

This was truly a laughable yet lamentable outcome!

However, this didn't hinder Luo De's admiration for Jiang Cheng from growing even more!

And because the editor-in-chief resigned, Luo De wasn't terminated but continued to stay at the Technology Magazine, even transitioning directly from an intern to a permanent position... In a way, it was a blessing in disguise?

The acquisition of the magazine publishing house also became quite a topic in the industry. After all, this was the Technology Magazine, a long-established publication that had been around for decades—nearly a century—accompanying many through long years!

Technology Magazine had its days of glory and also faced times when it almost went out of business but managed to endure and eventually reached this point, successfully regaining its former fame, even becoming more famous than before.

Such a legendary magazine being acquired by a foreigner undoubtedly sparked considerable discussion!

Reportedly, many editors at the Technology Magazine's publishing house opposed the acquisition and resigned in protest!

Two-thirds of the editorial team at Technology Magazine's publishing house left directly!

This action earned the admiration of many and also became quite a topic of discussion.

This news soon reached Jiang Cheng's ears, but he seemed unconcerned.

Let them resign; for the Technology Magazine, what it lacks least is editorial talent!

As a world-leading magazine publishing house, though not very profitable, its reputation was first-rate. Many dreamt of technology and wanted to become editors there!

In the industry, countless people were desperate to join Technology Magazine to develop their careers!

Now that so many have left Technology Magazine, more spots have opened up, naturally allowing more people to come in.

Of course, Jiang Cheng knew that this new group of people might be of varying quality, but it didn't matter; time is the best testing machine—under strict system and review, only truly talented people would be retained.

Even if it indeed caused some impact, it was nothing serious!

This was Jiang Cheng's perspective.

However, many in the industry, especially some die-hard tech readers in the United States, believed that Technology Magazine was doomed after hearing about the changes in the editorial department... that this path wasn't sustainable at all!

A magazine isn't something that can so easily thrive and develop!

When Jiang Cheng's paper was officially published, such voices grew ever louder!

......

For those focused on this field, Jiang Cheng's paper, which was previously rejected, seemed like a huge joke!

Completely absurd, unrealistic conjectures!

Lacking any real evidence!

Yet despite this, the paper arrogantly dismissed every foundational theory established in the industry, as if slapping everyone in the face!

Anyone with some knowledge could see that this paper was outrageously arrogant!

Such an error-ridden yet outrageously arrogant paper was so boldly published on the front page of "Technology" magazine and introduced with a considerable number of pages, making it seem like the most grotesque and absurd joke of the 21st century!

Many scientists in related fields couldn't help but stand up and express their stance, heavily criticizing Jiang Cheng.

And naturally, this incident attracted attention from many news media.

Thus, the speeches of these scientists in related fields were published by these news outlets.

Such headlines appeared—

Various media outlets published such headlines on the front page.

These U.S. local media finally seemed to find a scandal involving Jiang Cheng, aiming to pull this unprecedented god-like genius down from the pedestal! To make him realize that speaking doesn't make everything, and he's not limitless!

Doing such laughable things was just unbelievably foolish.

For a time, the media that praised and supported Jiang Cheng not long ago turned their focus, targeting Jiang Cheng—media often act as the weathervane, changing with the wind.

In fact, the situation became somewhat significant, not only in the United States but also in the United Kingdom, Japan, France, and even some media in Huaxia expressed their views.

There was once a saying that the Earth in the 21st century isn't as big as it seemed, and should be called a global village. The current situation is probably like that; Jiang Cheng said such words at the entrance of the village, and the entire village knew instantly.

The views of countries around the world were varied, with some media keeping neutral, truthfully recounting the ins and outs of the event, while some leaned towards Jiang Cheng; of course, these might be sycophantic, but Huaxia's local media naturally sided with Jiang Cheng, regardless of right or wrong.

However, most media still leaned against Jiang Cheng—after all, Jiang Cheng's paper was overly radical, with too many mistakes.
