Chapter 49: 49 Promotes the relationship between him and his sister...
At this press conference, Song Yu also specially organized a question-and-answer session for reporters just before the cocktail party began.
The venue manager arranged a lounge for Song Yu to conduct the interview. In the brightly lit lounge, Song Yu sat on the sofa, and Lova sat beside her like an old friend. All the cameras were aimed at them.
"Ms. Song, Luowa's appearance is that of a young woman, and she looks very similar to you. Was she designed based on your appearance?"
"It's true that the model is made of my face, but it's not me now, it's me when I was a teenager."
"You as a teenager? That means that when you were a teenager, Lowa's appearance was already determined, right?"
"Yes, I decided to make robots when I was a teenager. Over the years, I have been working towards this goal step by step. Fortunately, hard work pays off, and I have succeeded."
"Ms. Song, the press conference was so successful. Who do you want to thank the most?"
"There are so many people I want to thank," Song Yu said with a smile, not without humor. "The successful launch of Lowa wasn't my credit; it was the result of the combined efforts of all the members of our R&D center. I was just a publicity guy, so I didn't help at all, but I got all the publicity."
"Ms. Song, you're quite humorous. I heard that Lowa's listing was your first performance report since joining the Song Corporation. With such good results, will you soon be joining the Song Corporation's board of directors?"
Song Yu thought for a moment before speaking. Her answer was very modest. "I'm a senior this year and haven't graduated yet. I'm just an intern at Song Corporation. As a newcomer in the workplace, I still have a lot to learn. It's too early for me to join the board of directors, even if my father is the chairman."
"I didn't see Mr. Song and Mrs. Song at the press conference today. Did they not come to the press conference?"
"My parents are watching the live broadcast at home, so it's no different from being there in person."
"Why didn't they come to the press conference? Are they confident in you?"
The real reason was that if Song's parents attended the press conference, it would alarm many people. They were too lazy to mobilize a large number of people and simply stayed at home to watch the live broadcast. However, Song Yu's words certainly couldn't be responded to in this way, although on the other hand, they did have great confidence in Song Yu.
"Yes, my parents trusted me very much, so they handed the entire press conference over to me. Fortunately, I did not disappoint them."
After Song Yu finished speaking, Luo Wa beside him reminded him, "Ru Ru, I have to interrupt you. The cocktail party is about to begin."
"Okay, Lowa, thank you for the reminder. How are you feeling today?"
"Excellent!"
Song Yu and Luo Wa exchanged a few simple words as if they were chatting about family matters.
She did it on purpose, deliberately placing Lowa next to her during the interview, when all the media cameras were focused on her. Many media outlets were broadcasting the event live, so how could she not take advantage of such a great publicity opportunity? She deliberately brought the topic to Lowa and interacted with her, just to get more media exposure.
After Song Yu and Luo Wa finished their interaction, they stood up and said, "Sorry! The cocktail party is about to start. How about everyone move over and have a drink? I ordered some pastries from Xu Ji. Everyone's been busy all day and must be hungry. It's nice to have something to fill your stomach."
Song Yu spoke very politely, and the media outlets that frequently cooperated with the Song family also gave him face. They put away their cameras, and everyone followed Song Yu to the cocktail party, chatting and laughing.
"Ms. Song, your speech was really interesting. I was just here to work and had no interest in this robot. But after listening to your introduction, I immediately ordered one. I'm afraid it will be too late to order it."
The person who was speaking was the head reporter of a new media newspaper that has been very popular recently. He has a wide network of contacts and has connections everywhere. He is particularly good at digging up news and has many fans. He is a major shareholder in his own newspaper, so he has no pressure to buy a robot.
As Song Yu walked, he said, "Yes, it really depends on grabbing. We only have 200 spots for the first launch. If you're late, you really won't be able to grab one. Subsequent mass production will also depend on the feedback from this launch."
The party was filled with elegant clothes and people from all walks of life. Inside and outside the door were two different worlds. Stepping inside was like stepping into a luxurious world.
The crystal chandeliers shone like falling stars, and the scent of various high-end perfumes and wines mixed together. Men and women, holding crystal clear champagne glasses, gracefully shuttled among the crowd, some talking loudly, while others whispered softly.
The room is full of handsome men and beautiful women, glittering jewels and gems, and the extravagance and decadence are overwhelming. Who can say that this is not a place of fame and fortune?
Song Yu is also one of them. This is her home turf. She is high above everyone else and the one everyone wants to talk to.
After becoming an adult, many things are no longer black and white, right or wrong. This is the helplessness of adults.
In this game of fame and fortune that relies on personal connections, even if it is just pretense, Song Yu will finish it with a smile on his face.
This was her helplessness, but she had to do it.
-
Zhou Ci rushed back in the early morning.
At this time, Song Yu had already washed up and fallen asleep.
He came back without disturbing Song Yu. He went straight back to his room, took a shower, changed into pajamas, and then came to the door of Song Yu's bedroom.
Holding the door handle and pushing it down gently, Song Yu's bedroom door opened.
Song Yu never locked her bedroom door before sleeping, which showed her unconditional trust in Zhou Ci. Zhou Ci made her feel so safe. In her eyes, Zhou Ci was her own brother. Who would be on guard against their own family at home? She never thought Zhou Ci would hurt her.
Zhou Ci entered Song Yu's room and closed the door gently. He sat on the edge of Song Yu's bed and looked at Song Yu through the dim light of the bedroom night light.
He didn't intend to do anything, he just hadn't seen his sister for several days and missed her very much.
Especially when he received a WeChat message from his sister, asking him when he would be back and saying that she missed him too and that she was not used to him not being at home, he missed her even more and his longing was out of control.
The contract hadn't been finalized yet, and he had a meeting with the other company tomorrow morning, but he just couldn't let it go. He was worried about her, so he took the latest flight back just to see his sister, and then took the earliest flight back. He didn't even want to bring his fatigue and coldness to her, so he took a shower first.
Song Yu slept until midnight when she suddenly woke up. She struggled to open her eyes and felt a shadow at the head of the bed. She rubbed her bleary eyes and looked carefully. It was actually a human figure...
She screamed "Ah" in fear, her scalp went numb, and she opened her mouth to call for help.
Zhou Ci didn't wait for her to shout, he rushed over, turned on the light with his left hand, and covered her mouth with his right hand: "Sister, it's me!"
The lights suddenly turned on, and Song Yu blinked, still a little confused. "Aren't you in S City?"
Her mouth was covered, and her words were unclear, but Zhou Ci still understood, "I missed my sister. I happened to forget to bring a document that I need for a meeting tomorrow, so I rushed back overnight."
He was lying about taking the documents, but he was really thinking about his sister. However, Zhou Ci knew he couldn't say that. It was not the time to confess yet. If he really said that, his sister would be suspicious of him and might even keep her distance from him. Then he would lose more than he gained.
"Are you going back tomorrow?"
The palm of his hand was itchy, and it was his sister's soft and elastic lips that were moving. The place where their skin touched felt like an electric current passing through, numb and he couldn't help but tremble slightly. This feeling was so strange, but inexplicably comfortable. Zhou Ci didn't want to let go of her hand.
"I have to leave early tomorrow morning." Zhou Ci spoke slowly, his eyes fixed on Song Yu. He looked serious and persistent, like a hunter waiting in the dark for an opportunity. "I won't be able to stay at home for long."
With her mouth covered, Song Yu felt a little uncomfortable. She looked at Zhou Ci with her big eyes, trying to signal him to let go, but she found that Zhou Ci's eyes were blank. She didn't know what he was thinking and didn't see her hint at all.
She didn't care about anything else and directly took action, pulling Zhou Ci's hand down. Her breathing immediately became much smoother. Song Yu felt comfortable and had the leisure to care about other things: "There are only a few hours left, kid, don't waste time here, go back to your room and sleep, you won't be able to sleep for a few hours."
The warm touch in his palm disappeared, and Zhou Ci felt a little lost. He didn't want to leave, he just wanted to stay here until dawn when he had to leave.
He looked at Song Yu eagerly, and used his most common, pretentious tone that Song Yu would definitely soften: "I don't want to go. I haven't lived here for several days. It's dusty and dirty everywhere!"
"Is that so? That's indeed something I didn't think through." Song Yu looked towards her room and said hesitantly, "Little friend, if you don't mind, you can sleep on the sofa in my room for a few hours. Auntie just changed the sofa cover today, it's very clean."
Zhou Ci's eyes were bright, and he shook his head: "I don't mind, as long as my sister doesn't mind my noise."
Song Yu casually said, "What's the fuss?"
She yawned and shrunk back into the quilt: "I still have a quilt in my closet. Auntie just washed it and put it away today. You can take it yourself. I won't get up."
Zhou Ci stood up: "Sister, just lie down, I'll get it."
After Zhou Ci brought the quilt out of the cloakroom and spread it on the sofa, Song Yu dimmed the bedside lamp and said, "Go to sleep! You have to get up early tomorrow, and I'm sleepy too."
"Good night, sister!"
"Yeah, Aang!"
Song Yu fell asleep quickly. She always went to bed early, got up early, and had a good sleep quality.
Zhou Ci listened to the slight noise coming from Song Yu's side, but he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
This was the first time he slept in the same room with Song Yu. Although they did not share the same bed, they were more intimate than ever before.
He was very excited, his heart was beating fast, and his body was hot. He was sweating profusely, and there was a place that was swollen and uncomfortable.
Fortunately, his sister was sleeping soundly and could not hear any movement from his side. He endured for a while, but his body was too hot to bear. Finally, he could not help getting up and went to the bathroom outside to take a cold shower. The stimulation of the cold water made his body calm down.
Unfortunately, the cold water in City B in winter can freeze. No matter how good Zhou Ci's physique is, he cannot withstand such cold water and successfully caught a cold.
When he got up in the morning, he had a slight cough. Seeing that his face was red and he looked listless, Song Yu touched his forehead and found it was a little hot, so he looked for an ear thermometer to take his ear temperature.
"Sister, I'm fine. Just take some fever-reducing medicine."
Zhou Ci was in a hurry to catch a flight and couldn't stay at home for long. He took some antipyretics at home and asked Song Yu to take him to the airport.
Song Yu was still worried and kept observing his condition along the way. "Are you really okay?"
Zhou Ci comforted her, "It's nothing serious."
When they arrived at the airport, Song Yu accompanied him to the boarding gate and handed him the fever-reducing medicine. He reminded him, "Little boy, when you're done with your work, you still have to see a doctor and remember to take your medicine."
Zhou Ci took the medicine and looked at Song Yu's red nose from the cold. He couldn't help but reach out and hold her in his arms, rubbing her nose. "I know, I will definitely listen to you, sister. I'll go see the doctor and take your temperature after I'm done. You have to be well at home, sister, don't let me worry."
"I'm already so old, I'm much less of a worry than you." Song Yu put her arm around his back and patted him, trying to comfort him: "Okay, okay, sister is already so old, I can't let you hold me casually anymore, otherwise people will misunderstand me."
Sister smells so good, hug her tightly, Zhou Ci is reluctant to let go, "I'm not afraid of being misunderstood, sister?"
"I'm scared. It's nothing special for me, but I'm worried it might affect you. What if you get used to hugging me and your future girlfriend misunderstands?"
Zhou Ci tightened his grip, "No."
"Won't?"
"My girlfriend in the future will definitely be as beautiful and kind as my sister, and her heart will be as good as hers. She won't misunderstand such things."
The airport announcement urged passengers to board the plane, and Zhou Ci had to let go of Song Yu. He was reluctant, lowered his head and begged for a promise: "I'll be back in a few days, can you come to pick me up at the airport?"
After the robot went on the market, Song Yu's workload became much lighter. She thought it would be no problem to squeeze in and pick up the phone, so she nodded and said, "Okay!"
Zhou Ci smiled. When he smiled, his deep eyebrows and eyes were all relaxed, and he had a kind of stunning charm like the warm sun in the cold winter. Song Yu liked to see him smile, and he also knew how to smile in a way that could make Song Yu dazzled.
"Sister, I'm leaving."
"Okay, safe. Have a safe trip. Send me a WeChat message when you land."
Zhou Ci tried to hold back, but when he couldn't help it any longer, he hugged her and quickly let go. Under Song Yu's confused gaze, he walked in, looking back every few steps.
However, he played too hard this time and his body couldn't take it. He could feel the fever getting worse when he landed. By the time he managed to finish the morning meeting, his face was already red with fever, his breath was scalding, and he couldn't even stand steadily.
The assistant who came with him saw that something was wrong and immediately arranged for a car to take him to the hospital.
Zhou Ci didn't expect his condition to be so serious. When he entered the hospital, the doctor wouldn't let him leave and arranged for him to be hospitalized and given injections to reduce his fever.
There are some benefits to being sick like this.
Seeing that everyone else was in the hospital, the boss of the cooperative company came to the hospital to see him. The contract was not too strict, and the final procedures were negotiated directly in the hospital, so Zhou Ci could go home early.
Besides, how could Zhou Ci not make good use of this ready-made excuse of being sick and asking for comfort?
For him, the opportunity to further strengthen his relationship with his sister has come.
