Chapter 9
Shu Jinye was playing basketball when the store manager's work report came to his terminal.
He drank a bottle of mineral water in big gulps, and the clear water rolled from the corners of his mouth all the way to his Adam's apple which slid up and down.
Shu Jinye looked down and was dazzled by the new book design.
"Why does this look a bit like an ancient book in history?" He sat on a bench nearby.
Interstellar people have a high awareness of paying for intellectual property rights. Shu Jinye was very interested in this design and approved it immediately.
The store manager didn't let Jiang Chen wait too long and quickly called the person in charge to sort out the contract.
Not long after entering the store, Jiang Chen didn't realize that he had signed a contract casually.
He exchanged contact information with the person in charge.
He usually practiced calligraphy and composed poetry in the ancient tomb. The calligraphy and painting rice paper in the tomb were well preserved and had not been damaged over the years, but they would quickly weather as soon as they were taken out of the tomb.
He also wanted to buy some empty notebooks and pens.
The blank notebooks here are not cheap either, costing several thousand star coins each.
Jiang Chen bought a bunch of them at once.
Customizing a book also takes time, so he made an appointment with the clerk to pick it up in a few days.
"Mr. Jiang, how long do you think it will take for you to send us the design for this book cover?"
"I'm not very good at using the terminal. If you're in a hurry, I can draw it for you right now."
"That's great."
The clerk brought out the design screen, but Jiang Chen said he didn't know how to use it. He sat behind the antique desk, holding Xiao Zhuang in one hand and taking out a pen with the other hand and started writing and drawing on the newly bought notebook.
The shop assistants were all amazed at the way he wrote with such fluent strokes, which made him look like a banished immortal plucking the strings of a musical instrument. The final design drawing on paper was like a work of art.
"Okay." He tore off the pages he had drawn.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Jiang, please take care."
Xiao Zhuang had fallen asleep when he came out of the bookstore. He didn't know that his father had taken him to another custom shop.
When leaving, Jiang Chen got lost again while following the navigation. He looked very upset. He had just learned how to use the navigation for a long time, so how could he get lost again?
Jiang Chen wanted to take a taxi back directly. There were many pedestrians on the pedestrian street, but there were no taxis passing by on the road.
He didn't know where to go, even though the navigation indicated the pick-up point was right where he was at the moment.
No aircraft are allowed over the main urban area, and all transportation is underground. Jiang Chen is right above the underground pick-up point.
He listened to the navigation voice again: "Arrived at destination."
It was clearly the destination, but there were no cars nearby, and Jiang Chen was a little anxious.
A patrolling guard happened to pass by and found Jiang Chen holding the child. He looked anxious like a poor little rabbit that had lost its way.
"Excuse me, sir, what's the situation here?"
Jiang Chen turned around in shock, and he couldn't hide the panic in his eyes.
The guard was stunned by Jiang Chen's beauty. He softened his tone and asked, "Sir, are you lost?"
"Yes, I can't find a ride." Jiang Chen's interstellar language had a strange accent, but his voice undoubtedly sounded quite pleasant.
"Are you from out of town? Please come this way." The captain of the guard took the initiative to show him the way and escorted him to the underground pick-up point.
"Thank you." Jiang Chen thanked him.
Finally found the place to take a taxi, but Jiang Chen didn't expect it to be underground.
The captain of the guard looked at the little zombie in Jiang Chen's arms. The little zombie was holding the Mech Warrior tightly in his hand. He smiled and said, "My son likes Mech Warrior too."
"Yeah…"
"Yes, since we are so destined to meet, can I have your contact information, sir?"
The guard had never seen anyone as handsome as Jiang Chen, and he subconsciously said something to flirt with her.
Jiang Chen looked at the guard in front of him. He didn't want to reveal his contact information casually, so he quickly made an excuse, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. Sorry, my car is already here."
He immediately stopped a car and left quickly.
The father and son lived in a very remote place, so the driver only agreed to take them to the village entrance.
Jiang Chen didn't want to expose his home to the public, so he agreed without thinking.
He and Xiao Zhuang are unfamiliar with the place and are not from this world. He doesn't want to get involved in unnecessary trouble. He just wants Xiao Zhuang to grow up safely.
As a result, they lived here for half a year without any friends and rarely went out.
Xiao Zhuang slept all the way and when he woke up again he found that he had arrived home.
He was dry and comfortable.
When Jiang Chen came back, he had already helped Xiao Zhuang wash his body and changed him into clean pajamas.
At this time, the washed kindergarten uniforms were hanging in the laundry room.
The first thing Xiao Zhuang did when he sat up was to look for his father.
Dad was debugging the holographic TV in the living room.
Jiang Chen felt that the screen of the terminal used by Xiaojiang to watch cartoons was too small, and it was not good for Xiaojiang's eyesight, so he had to use a bigger one.
"Dad." Xiao Zhuang crawled to Jiang Chen and threw himself into his father's arms, then hugged his father's face and kissed him.
Jiang Chen also hugged Xiao Zhuang affectionately and kissed him.
"Want to keep watching MechWarrior? But Daddy won't turn it on."
Jiang Chen has been studying it for a long time, but just can't open it.
Xiao Zhuang shook his head, "Xiao Zhuang doesn't know either."
"Little Zhuang, why not try it?" Jiang Chen handed over the remote control.
He randomly pressed a button on the remote control in Jiang Chen's hand, and soon the picture started playing.
Jiang Chen was surprised and didn't know where the little zombie was pointing.
Xiao Zhuang was also a little confused, but when the animation started he was quickly attracted by the plot.
The characters' dialogues in the cartoon were spoken very quickly and Xiao Jiang couldn't quite understand them, but he could roughly understand them through the pictures.
He sat in front of the TV, holding the teddy bear, and was fascinated by it.
Jiang Chen smiled with relief, as long as the child likes it.
He placed the packed cake on the display stand. The cake with a missing corner looked really good in the transparent box on the stand.
Jiang Chen took out the terminal and took many videos and photos of the little zombie who was watching TV attentively. It must be said that the interstellar era also has its advantages. It can record the growth of children from an early age.
He opened the kindergarten's special software to see if the teacher had assigned any homework in the class group.
However, it is already eight o'clock in the evening and the group is still quiet.
Since he had nothing to do, Jiang Chen sat on the sofa and began to learn how to use the terminal.
It is indeed inconvenient to travel when living in the deep mountains and forests. In the afternoon, he downloaded a shopping app to see if he could buy a means of transportation.
This way it would be more convenient to pick up and drop off Xiao Zhuang every day.
The interstellar car has an automatic driving system, but you also need a driver's license. Jiang Chen only knows how to ride a horse and he doesn't have an interstellar driver's license yet.
He looked at the operating procedures of the flying car in the usage details. Just watching the video made his head hurt, not to mention the pile of traffic knowledge.
"It would be nice to have a housekeeper..."
In the past, he didn't have to worry about these things himself.
The idea of hiring a housekeeper became stronger and stronger, but he didn't know where to recruit one now.
He immediately used voice consultation, and the terminal's intelligent voice gave pertinent advice.
He took out the paper and pen he had just bought and wrote down the steps.
"Excuse me, do you want to hire a human or AI butler?" This made Jiang Chen feel troubled again.
There are too many uncertainties in human life. The experience of being asked for contact information by a guard on the road today made Jiang Chen feel a little uncomfortable.
If he hired a human, his mind would be unpredictable and there might be other problems, which might even expose his and Xiao Zhuang's identities as not being from this world.
AI is highly obedient and will never do anything that is not allowed. After listening to the terminal's intelligent analysis of the advantages and disadvantages, he immediately decided to have an AI robot butler.
Terminal intelligence sent him a lot of resumes of robot butlers, which were varied and in various forms.
Jiang Chen doesn't have high requirements. He just needs to be able to drive and clean the house. He and Xiao Zhuang don't need to eat, so they can be said to be very easy to raise.
After choosing and choosing, he finally chose a chubby mechanical pink bunny-headed butler.
After paying the advance salary on the platform, the pink bunny head knocked on the door in less than an hour.
"Are you my new master?" The cute pink bunny head at the door floated in the air.
Jiang Chen nodded: "Hello, Mr. Rabbit, please come in."
"Master, just call me Pink Rabbit..."
"OK."
"Excuse me, Master, is there anything I can do now?"
The little zombie who was watching TV turned around and saw the pink rabbit. He then ran to his father's legs.
"Dad, what is this?"
"He is our butler."
[The flying bunny is so cute, and he can talk, so cool.]
He clapped his hands, which was what the little zombie would do when he was in a good mood.
Pink Rabbit was surprised for a moment, and a childish voice appeared in his receiver, which was naked praise, even though no one was talking just now.
"Hello, Mr. Butler~"
Pink Rabbit looked at Xiao Zhuang and didn't expect that the little master of this family was so polite. Many children in the families he served before were naughty and not likable at all.
"Hello, young master." The pink rabbit shook in the air.
Jiang Chen thought that since Fen Tu was the steward, he should be given a place to stay. The steward in the Dongqi Palace was treated very well.
Of course, he would not neglect Pink Rabbit. Since she was his housekeeper, she should be respected accordingly.
"Master Butler, we have many empty rooms. Please choose any one and stay in it."
"What? Can I have my own room?" Pink Rabbit couldn't believe it.
Although AI robots are considered citizens of the Federation, they have been looked down upon by many humans for thousands of years. Humans have a rigid mindset that AI should serve humans. Even though AI citizens now have self-awareness, many low-level AI citizens cannot enjoy the treatment that humans deserve, and some even live worse than pets.
Pink Rabbit suddenly felt his chip being severely burned, and his voice was choked: "Thank you, Master."
"I can start working right away."
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "You don't have to be so reserved. There's only Xiao Jiang and I at home, and we don't have any special requirements. You just need to ensure the safety of the villa, do the housework, and be responsible for driving. For the rest, just treat it as your own home." Then Jiang Chen handed a bank card to Pink Rabbit.
"You can use this card to buy anything for your family."
"Is that really all?"
Pink Rabbit couldn't believe this was true. He didn't expect to find such an easy job. In his previous job, he had so much to do every day that he didn't even have time to recharge. Moreover, his owner was so generous that he directly gave him a bank card.
"Yes, Xiao Zhuang has to go to school during the day, so I'm home alone."
"By the way, can you drive?"
"Of course I will."
"That's great." Jiang Chen immediately placed an order for a flying car at the terminal and could pick it up tomorrow.
"Then I'll trouble you to drive the car back tomorrow."
"No problem!" The pink rabbit spun happily in the air.
After briefly introducing some precautions to Pink Rabbit, Jiang Chen carried Little Zhuang to the ancient tomb to rest, as Little Zhuang had to go to school tomorrow.
Jiang Chen did not allow the pink rabbit to enter the ancient tomb. The pink rabbit watched its two masters walk into the basement.
He exclaimed what a wonderful life this was. Not only was his salary higher than before, but his boss was also kind and nice. He was making a lot of money.
He chose a side room with the best view, and then took out his luggage from the space. After working for so many years, he finally had his own independent room. Pink Rabbit was so moved that she burst into tears on the soft big bed.
That night, the pink rabbit was full of energy and went to the 8S store to pick up the new car before its owner got up.
When Xiao Zhuang and his father came out of the basement early in the morning, they saw a delicious breakfast on the dining table.
Jiang Chen was surprised for a moment, "I'm sorry, Mr. Rabbit, I forgot to tell you yesterday that you don't need to prepare meals for us."
"This...?" The pink rabbit was puzzled as to how there could be humans who didn't eat?
"Don't worry about that."
"OK."
"The car has been picked up, and now it only takes 20 minutes to get from home to kindergarten."
"This is so convenient." Jiang Chen sighed. It turned out that having a housekeeper could save him a lot of worries.
"Then I'll trouble you from now on, sir."
"It is my duty to serve my master. Please wash up here, young master."
Little Zhuang obediently followed the pink rabbit to the bathroom. He was very curious about the flying rabbit housekeeper, but he didn't try to catch it directly like other naughty kids did. He just looked at it carefully.
Pink Rabbit felt a little embarrassed by being stared at. He smiled and said, "Little Master, do you need my help?"
Xiao Zhuang shook his head. He brushed his teeth and washed his face by himself every day.
He dragged out a footstool, stood in front of the sink, and began to take care of himself.
Pink Rabbit looked at the well-behaved appearance of the little zombie, and the bad memories in his memory emerged. Many of the children in the families he had served before were spoiled and usually acted bossy towards him. There were even children from several families who picked off his parts on the first day, and in the end he didn't even get any compensation.
He looked at the little zombie who was brushing his teeth seriously.
There is no harm without comparison.
What kind of fairy little master is this?
