AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
Digital CNY wallets will become a channel through which relevant personnel at the two universities receive their salaries. Relevant personnel must first open and upgrade their wallets; Nantong University also requires separate wallets for salary cards and performance-pay cards, while Yangzhou University has arranged account-information retrieval and salary payment testing.
Why it matters to readers
This shows that digital CNY wallets are being used for the specific scenario of salary payments at universities, but the source text concerns only Nantong University and Yangzhou University; it cannot support inferences about implementation at other universities or on a broader scale.
If you are relevant personnel at either university, you should pay attention to the arrangements for wallet opening, upgrading, and testing; for ordinary readers, this is a case of a digital CNY payment scenario in practice, and does not represent investment returns or price changes.
