The scattered bullet comments of "little brother" on the screen were gradually covered by others.
Under Gou Zhe's deliberate guidance, everyone turned to comfort Gou Zhe.
Meanwhile, Wen Bai, though looking in one direction, was communicating with System 001.
System 001 prompted: "Host, the heroine has been detected nearby."
"Mmm."
The research and development team where the heroine was belonged to the main building of the research center, while their current location was quite far from the research center's offices.
Logically, the heroine shouldn't be here at this time, unless she was also one of the "actors" called in today.
"Are all the 'actors' here?" Wen Bai coldly asked Li Bu, who was beside him.
"Yes, Mr. Wen," Li Bu replied with certainty, to avoid any confusion that might upset Mr. Wen, as had happened last time.
These people were all researchers carefully selected by him and Old Zhang. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
They were not fans and were not particularly interested in Gou Zhe; they were all focused on their work.
They also disliked gossip and were not in critical positions.
Only people like them could he trust to be in front of Mr. Wen.
After all, Mr. Wen had previously been very annoyed by fanatical researchers.
How could he make the same mistake again?
Wen Bai, who was misunderstood as adhering to the philosophy of "work must be taken seriously," was contemplating.
Last time, the female director Liu Liu hadn't shown any significant change in expression when she saw the male protagonist and even took a detour, indicating that she wasn't particularly interested in fangirling.
Considering her aversion to filming scenes, it was clear the heroine wasn't the type to seek out excitement.
The heroine, currently focused on finding out why the robots were malfunctioning and killing people, wouldn't have any other distractions.
Therefore, her presence where the male protagonist was could only mean one thing: an irresistible force of the world against the original plot.
Wen Bai had experienced this situation profoundly in his previous world.
Thus, Wen Bai quickly concluded: Female Director Liu Liu would definitely meet Male Protagonist Gou Zhe today.
Gou Zhe handed his phone to a staff member after a brief live-streaming warm-up.
The staff member started showing the robots nearby with the phone, reminding everyone that Gou Zhe would return later and asking them to stay.
This live stream was actually an impromptu addition, primarily aimed at addressing a recent incident of robot malfunction and injury. It was intended to create a preliminary response from the company.
The company's plan was to first leverage celebrity influence to draw public attention to the usage scenarios of robots. They wanted the customers to understand the robot's research environment and operation methods, and then focus on the possibility of operational errors.
After this live stream, the company would release the data from the investigation and research of the malfunctioning robot during its peak popularity as a response.
Gou Zhe took a bottle of water from his agent, took a sip, and glanced in Wen Bai's direction.
He immediately put down the bottle and stood up to go greet him.
Gou Zhe's agent had been on edge since Wen Bai appeared, constantly monitoring Gou Zhe's movements.
Seeing Gou Zhe, who was drinking water one second, rush straight towards Wen Bai the next, the agent, unable to stop him, sighed and immediately followed closely behind.
He could only hope Gou Zhe wouldn't cause trouble.
Gou Zhe walked over and gave Wen Bai his signature big smile.
He friendly extended his hand: "Hello, Mr. Wen, we meet again."
Wen Bai ignored the outstretched hand and nodded while standing still: "Mmm."
Wen Bai didn't particularly like Gou Zhe, and he hadn't forgotten Gou Zhe's interest in his robot 575.
Unfortunately, 575 was by his side at this moment.
Wen Bai's expression darkened, wanting to be rude enough to make Gou Zhe leave and not approach them.
Wen Bai was uneasy about leaving 575 alone at home due to past incidents.
He was even more uneasy about letting 575 leave his side now.
Last time at the research center, he had witnessed a robot being bullied by a group of people.
Thinking of this, Wen Bai's expressionless face grew colder.
Just then, Old Zhang's voice came from a distance.
Old Zhang jogged over: "Mr. Wen, you've arrived. Oh~ why isn't Mr. Wen here with you today?"
As he spoke, Old Zhang glanced at Gou Zhe, his meaning clear.
Although Wen Bai didn't know why Old Zhang was asking about Wen Ziyue, he didn't care about Wen Ziyue's matters and wasn't interested.
Wen Bai perfunctorily replied: "Mmm, he's not coming."
Gou Zhe saw Old Zhang signal to his agent and found it amusing.
Then, as if he hadn't heard what Old Zhang said, he brazenly examined the exceptionally outstanding robot behind Wen Bai.
Gou Zhe asked: "What's your name?"
The tall and handsome robot, however, was focused solely on its master, its gaze unwavering, and it did not answer Gou Zhe's question, as if it hadn't heard.
Wen Bai's cold voice rang out: "He doesn't speak to strangers, and I don't like you looking at him like that."
Gou Zhe raised an eyebrow. This Mr. Wen seemed quite aloof, not enthusiastic towards anyone. He couldn't tell he was quite possessive of his robot.
Gou Zhe had always trusted his intuition. His intuition had saved him from many fatal dangers. He instinctively felt that this robot had a problem, so he believed the robot definitely had a problem.
However, he hadn't managed to probe anything yet, and it was clear the owner was uncooperative.
Gou Zhe: "My apologies, no offense intended. I've been very interested in robots lately, and Mr. Wen's robot seems different from others, so I couldn't help but want to learn more."
"He is mine, and you don't need to understand him," Wen Bai said unhappily.
Old Zhang signaled, and the agent was helpless. He couldn't exactly drag the person away, could he?
Li Bu, who was usually quick-witted, was dumbfounded, looking at the people in front of him. What was going on?
Weren't things fine during the last cooperation negotiation? Why was the atmosphere so strange now?
Gou Zhe actually burst into laughter at this point.
His agent nudged him.
Gou Zhe then stopped laughing and became slightly more serious: "I'm not trying to take him from Mr. Wen, absolutely no such intention."
The minor interlude was over.
The filming went smoothly. Wen Bai only needed to read his lines according to the script.
Even though he just stood there, Wen Bai's screentime took up a quarter of the entire advertisement.
After filming, Wen Bai didn't leave in a hurry. He was still waiting here; the person who was supposed to appear hadn't yet.
