After breakfast, Wen Bai went upstairs to change into his going-out clothes before heading downstairs.
He looked around the room and found 575 missing. He remembered telling 575 that he would be going out soon…
He walked straight to the door and pushed it open.
As expected.
Within a few minutes, 575 had already started Wen Bai's black sports car from yesterday, which had dark wing patterns, and parked it by the roadside.
The tall and handsome robot was already standing beside the car, quietly waiting for its master to get in.
Wen Bai felt that having such a household robot was truly hassle-free.
The two drove to the research center.
This time, Wen Bai did not notify Director Li and Old Zhang in advance.
575 thoughtfully dropped Wen Bai off at the main entrance of the research center, then drove off alone to park the car.
Wen Bai stood at the entrance waiting for 575.
He also took out his phone to call Old Zhang and ask where he needed to find them.
Because Wen Bai had been daydreaming during their discussion, he actually had no idea what specific tasks he was there for today or what the procedures would be.
However, it couldn't be too difficult.
Standing at the entrance of the research center, Wen Bai did not notice that while he was on the phone, someone was hiding behind a tree not far away across the road, watching him.
The person saw Wen Bai standing alone and looked around. There were only a few pedestrians on the road.
He then walked out and took a few steps forward, about to cross the road towards Wen Bai, when he saw a tall man walking towards Wen Bai with his back to him, one step ahead of him.
The person immediately stopped in his tracks and froze, incredulously witnessing Wen Bai being escorted into the research center by the tall man with careful protection.
-
Entering the research center.
His phone rang, its sound echoing through the empty corridor.
Wen Bai quickly answered the call.
A hurried, solicitous, and cautious voice from Director Li sounded on the other end: "Mr. Wen, have you arrived? Why didn't you inform me, Xiao Li, so I could come and pick you up! This research center isn't huge, but it's quite easy to get lost. Wouldn't getting lost waste your valuable time?"
Director Li, who wasn't usually so proactive, had spontaneously mastered the art of "smoothness" in front of his benefactor, Mr. Wen.
Wen Bai walked forward expressionlessly, his voice flat and cold, "No need, I've already contacted Old Zhang."
"I see," Director Li's voice sounded a bit disappointed. He saw himself as Mr. Wen's most capable subordinate at the research center. How could he let Mr. Wen feel troubled!
He continued to advocate for himself: "Old Zhang has too many responsibilities today, and it's inevitable that he can't attend to everything. If there are any areas where he can't provide adequate assistance, please contact me directly for anything Mr. Wen needs in the future. You know my professional capabilities."
"Mm." Wen Bai did agree with Director Li's work efficiency.
As soon as Wen Bai arrived at the designated venue, Director Li followed shortly after.
From a distance, Wen Bai saw Old Zhang busy in the crowd. It was indeed as Director Li had said; he was very busy, always on the go.
Wen Bai swept his gaze.
There were also many researchers in white coats today.
However, today everyone stood in an orderly fashion, without excited screams or people holding up their phones, craning their necks to find someone and take pictures.
They were holding documents and other items.
575 stood to Wen Bai's left, and Director Li consciously walked to Wen Bai's right, helpfully explaining, "These people are the 'actors' for today. Although they are all technical staff, they will need to cooperate and be in the scenes as required."
Wen Bai nodded.
He scanned the area. Female director Liu Liu wasn't there, which was good.
Gou Zhe had changed his hair color again, sporting a dazzling yellow today, which was quite eye-catching.
Gou Zhe's back was to him, and he seemed to be holding something, doing something unknown.
At this moment, Gou Zhe was indeed busy holding something.
He was holding a selfie stick with a phone mounted on it, and on the phone screen, his enlarged face was directly in focus.
Gou Zhe was live-streaming.
On the phone screen, bullet comments were scrolling up rapidly.
Some were playfully typing, "Checking in, checking in~ arrived late~," some were praising Gou Zhe for being as handsome as ever today, and others were curiously asking all sorts of questions.
Gou Zhe's magnetic voice rang out, "Hmm? What am I doing? I'm visiting the robot research center today~"
Gou Zhe smiled and casually picked out questions he was interested in from the rapidly scrolling bullet comments to answer.
"Yes, the largest manufacturer, here to see the robots."
"Mm~ I've eaten, mm? A beautiful young lady robot?"
Gou Zhe chuckled, "Not only are there beautiful young lady robots, but you'll also see handsome young boy robots later. Hmm? They've already appeared? Where?"
Gou Zhe answered questions with a smile, teasing, "You change your mind so quickly. Just now you said I was handsome and loved me, and now you've spotted a handsome young boy. Let me see who has captured your attention..."
Then, Gou Zhe saw through the phone's camera feed Wen Bai's face appearing in the top right corner of his large face. Naturally, his own robot, accompanying Wen Bai, was also there.
The shot showed a profile. Wen Bai was looking at something, with no expression, appearing somewhat cold.
His front face was a cute doll-like face, but due to his nose bridge and eyes, his profile looked exceptionally delicate. With this expression paired with his delicate profile, he now appeared even more noble.
The tall and handsome robot standing behind him was looking down slightly, its pair of sapphire-blue eyes gazing at him with undivided attention, oblivious to everything else.
The bullet comments were still frantically scrolling, saying it was two young boys...
Some were already asking if the one with blue eyes behind was a robot, and others were saying if the one in front might also be a robot.
The already fast-scrolling bullet comments now seemed to be rushing upwards like mad, making it difficult for Gou Zhe to read the text.
Everyone was still shouting, asking Gou Zhe to move the camera closer so they could see more clearly.
The staff nearby quickly noticed the trend in the bullet comments.
More and more people were typing "young boys" in the bullet comments.
Old Zhang also noticed at this point.
He remembered that Mr. Wen strongly disliked appearing in public.
He immediately instructed the staff to clear the screen of bullet comments mentioning "young boys."
Keyword filtering was also implemented.
Gou Zhe also started to change the subject: "It's not time to visit the robots yet! You're already thinking about young boys. Aren't you here to see me? How can you even think about other people..."
