Oxygen +6
Xu Liang woke up suddenly, and saw the dim ceiling. A thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. She raised her hand to wipe it, and felt a little thirsty.
Xu Liang slowly sat up. The internal organs in her heart were hitting her chest wall at a rather fast frequency. She took a deep breath and secretly sneered: Qi Yu's physical fitness is really too poor.
She opened the door and went to the living room. The cold water rolled down her throat, and her body finally calmed down.
Xu Liang slapped his face again, trying to regain his consciousness.
After calming down a little, Xu Ying was about to go back to her room, but as soon as she turned around, she bumped into Qi Yu who was coming out of the room.
The worst thing is——
He was only wearing a bath towel, the not-so-long cloth barely covering his naked body. His hands were leisurely wiping his wet hair, and the water droplets slid down his collarbone and disappeared without a trace.
When he saw Xu Jing, he was also slightly stunned.
"Aren't you asleep?"
Xu Liang didn't answer. The tips of her ears felt hot and she didn't know whether she should look away.
This is obviously her own body, why does she feel so uncomfortable looking at it?
"You...you...you took a shower?!"
Xu Liang finally managed to utter these words. His tone was dry, with Qi Yu's coldness, yet also inexplicably a hint of panic.
Qi Yu hung the towel around his neck, walked around Xu Liang, and poured himself a glass of water. Xu Liang smelled the cedar scent coming from him, and his eyes moved slightly.
The fragrance that originally belonged to her became somewhat unfamiliar after being tainted by Qi Yu's scent.
"Did Mr. Xu never take a shower before?"
Qi Yu shook the water cup, raised the corners of her lips, and spoke teasingly in her voice.
“…” Xu Liang really had no reason to refute, but he just felt awkward.
When she thought about the fact that it was Qi Yu who bathed her body...
Never mind, it doesn’t matter.
There is nothing we can do right now, and she has already washed it, so there is no loss.
Qi Yu placed the empty cup next to hers and was about to return to his room, but he stopped in front of her and seemed to stare at her face for a long time.
Then Xu Jing heard his own voice ringing in his ear: "You blush at your own body?"
“…” Xu Liang took a step back cautiously, tensing her muscles to maintain composure. She raised her chin and said without flinching, “This is your body’s subconscious reaction. I can’t control it. You should reflect on yourself!”
As soon as the last word fell, Xu Liang disappeared in front of him.
In the empty living room, the only sound was the door slamming shut.
Xu Liang wrapped himself in the quilt dejectedly, but he felt even more thirsty now, his throat was so dry that he even—
There was also an unusual and uncomfortable flame burning beneath my body...
She didn't want to look down, so she took several deep breaths and finally felt a little relieved.
Qi Yu is such a pervert!
…
The next morning, Qi Yu arrived on time for the meeting on Xu Liang's behalf.
However, Xu Liang still didn't completely trust him, and asked Qi Yu to keep the voice call on her throughout the whole process.
She was sitting in Qi Yu's car, listening quietly to the conversation on the other end.
Mr. Zhang's tone was very kind. "President Xu, Yian Technology actually has plans to acquire us, but Yikang has always valued Tongxin very much, and we have also shown our full sincerity. I think we can sign the contract directly, right?"
Hearing this, Xu Liang felt something was wrong.
Although selling Yikan quickly is their current need, isn't it too hasty to sign the contract right after meeting?
Her voice came from the receiver. Through the screen, the sound was not so clear, but it directly hit the point: "Mr. Zhang seems to be in a hurry?"
Qi Yu also noticed it.
Mr. Zhang seemed stunned for a moment, then chuckled dryly: "It's useless to keep it in your hands after it's been abandoned for so long. Selling it early will save you from wasting resources."
"That's right." Qi Yu paused for a moment and then continued, "But since Mr. Zhang is willing to give up 5 points, I wonder if he would be willing to give up a little more?"
Xu Liang didn't understand what Qi Yu meant.
However, Mr. Zhang's attitude had already explained her: "So what is Dean Xu's expectation?"
Qi Yu said without hesitation: "How about giving up three more points?"
There was another moment of silence.
But after a moment of silence, Mr. Zhang readily agreed.
"Okay, three points is three points!"
The voice call was cut off by Qi Yu here.
“No…” Xu Liang wanted to call back, but the other end seemed to have turned on Do Not Disturb, and there was no response for a long time.
Helpless, Xu Liang had to send him a message.
"Why did you hang up? Didn't we agree that I had to listen to the whole thing?"
"You didn't do anything bad, did you?"
"Hello!!"
It's still deserted.
Xu Liang waited for another five minutes, but still no news.
Feeling a little irritated, she was about to get off the car when Qi Yu called.
Xu Liang tutted, his tone tinged with anger: "What do you mean by hanging up on me?"
Qi Yu on the other end explained calmly, "I just felt that there was no need to listen to it when we sign the contract. Does Mr. Xu really not trust me?"
Xu Liang got out of the car and slammed the door shut, intending for the person on the phone to hear.
She sneered: "Just based on your casual behavior of hanging up the phone, do you think you can be trusted?"
Without waiting for Qi Yu to answer, she continued, "But I can understand. After all, Mr. Qi prefers intelligence, so it's understandable that he behaves like a humanoid, don't you think?"
“…”
Qi Yu didn't know whether he couldn't think of anything to say in response or if he really didn't care, so he said nonchalantly: "I have already signed the contract for you. I hope Mr. Xu will do what he said and attend Yian's meeting on time this afternoon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Liang cut off his call.
Things like this naturally have to be give and take.
…
This was Xu Liang's first time here. Although she didn't know the way, she straightened her back and calmly followed the signs to find the elevator.
Qi Yu said his office was the innermost one on the 32nd floor.
There were not many people around at the moment. She entered the elevator and was about to press the floor button when the voice assistant popped up on the screen.
Xu Liang shuddered slightly, and his fingertips trembled slightly.
A mechanical voice echoed through the empty elevator: "Welcome aboard Yian Elevator. Please tell Xiao An which floor you wish to visit or press the keypad directly. For flights above the 30th floor, please enter your face within the facial recognition box." Once the elevator door closes, please do not forcefully open it. In the event of an emergency, please press the emergency button or call Xiao An immediately.
“…”
Facial recognition in elevators?
This voice assistant is also scary.
As expected of a tech geek, the shadow of technology can be seen everywhere.
Xu Liang rubbed his hands together, calmed himself down, and then bent down. Only then did Qi Yu's face appear in the facial recognition frame.
After successful recognition, the button on the 32nd floor automatically lights up.
She took another step back and pursed her lips——
This technology seems to be quite good when used in elevators.
Perhaps because he had already seen the sense of technology in the elevator, after seeing that the door of Qi Yu's office also had dynamic facial recognition, Xu Liang didn't think it was so strange.
But just as she came in and sat down, Qi Yu's assistant swiped his card and came in: "Mr. Qi, here are the meeting materials for this afternoon. Please take a look in advance."
Xu Liang remembered that Qi Yu said his assistant would bring her the information and she just needed to familiarize herself with it.
Xu Kyung said, "Oh," and then said, "Okay, I understand."
The assistant didn't rush out and continued to report: "And the new smart nursing bed you approved last time has been delivered to the smart community. It is expected to be used by all the elderly in the community tomorrow."
New smart nursing bed?
"Does this bed have any special function?" Xu Liang asked subconsciously.
But the assistant looked at him puzzledly: "Mr. Qi, you..."
Realizing he'd spoken too quickly, Xu Liang quickly made amends, "I...I haven't slept well these past couple of days, so I'm a little forgetful. If you repeat it back, it'll serve as confirmation."
The boss spoke, and the assistant naturally obeyed. "Compared to previous nursing beds, the new nursing beds have upgraded bedside guardrails to automatic guardrails. They all use alternating air pressure mattresses, voice assistants that regularly remind the elderly to turn over to prevent pressure sores, and sensor night lights at the edge of the bed to prevent the elderly from falling when getting up at night."
These are just the new features.
Xu Liang had heard of smart nursing beds before, but few nursing homes had promoted them, the trial data was not very comprehensive, and the cost was high, so she didn't know much about them.
Unexpectedly, Qi Yu has already been fully popularized in their retirement community.
It turns out that he dares to think and do.
But is he really not afraid of problems?
The assistant's words quickly cleared up her confusion: "Mr. Qi, these are the data results of the smart nursing bed last month. The error rate of the detection indicators is getting lower and lower, and the prediction rate of the elderly's behavior is getting higher and higher."
The beautiful data report appeared in front of Xu Liang. The last line showed that the indicator detection error rate decreased by 3.1% compared with the previous one, and the behavior prediction rate increased by 2.7% compared with the previous one.
The glimmer of hope that rose in my heart was instantly extinguished.
It turned out that the purpose was to obtain new experimental data.
No wonder he's willing to risk it all.
Xu Liang slammed the folder down, his tone completely cold. "Alright, I get it. Get out of here."
The assistant hadn't figured out the situation yet, let alone why his boss was angry. In order to avoid taking his anger out on him, he left in disappointment.
Xu Liang bit her lip, and a slight pain was transmitted to her nerve endings. She opened the data report again.
My eyes swept across the first line and finally stopped at the two lines of conclusion.
She just felt bad.
The reason why she thinks humanistic elderly care is better than technological elderly care is that she believes that humans are better able to perceive other people's emotions and understand the behavior of the elderly better than so-called intelligence.
Technology can make predictions, but people are dynamic and ever-changing, not static "dead" data.
If these delicate and cold machines accompany the elderly through their later years, how can they feel happy in their old age?
Xu Liang closed the file again and placed it on the pile of documents on the table.
However, the file simply slid down, and the folders underneath it followed suit, all scattering on the ground.
Xu Liang sighed, bent down to pick it up, and stacked the folders together again.
But when she picked up the last folder, a page of paper fell out from the gap. She was about to put it back when she saw a few handwritten words on the page -
Car accident? Zhang Qilin? Yikang?
