Spying on military intelligence
There was a moment of silence in the huge laboratory.
After a long time, a voice with strange fluctuations in the electromagnetic waves sounded:
"Yan, what are you doing?"
Mu Qingyan opened her mouth, wanting to let him go, but in the end she rested her forehead on his back and said honestly:
"Are you angry... I'm sorry..."
The embraced body stiffened for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
Her arms were pulled apart, and Kins turned around, locking eyes with her.
"Yan, don't say that. If my actions just now have hurt you, then I should be the one to apologize."
"Because of the First Law?" Mu Qingyan's tone was a little unhappy. "I told you, Kins, you don't need to care about that at all. You can express your wishes freely, and I will care about your emotions. This is normal. There is nothing -"
“Yan…”
The lips were pressed by the cold fingertips, and Kins' light brown eyes seemed to have regained their smile.
"You know, I'm not bound by the Three Laws, so 'not wanting you to get hurt' is my own wish. Although, I don't know if I should call it...will?"
Over the years, Mu Qingyan almost forgot his teacher's ideas which were so far ahead of their time.
He was probably the only person at that time who truly regarded mechanical bodies as living things, which is why he did not implant the positron potential of the "Three Laws" when creating Kins.
Therefore, those laws that are almost like the stamp of thought for all robots are just regarded by Kins as a kind of "common practice".
"So you just..."
"I'm glad to hear you say you 'care' about my emotions. Maybe there's something wrong with me, but it's definitely not anger. Yan, I will never be angry with you, so I guess I can only attribute it to - 'current imbalance caused by insufficient energy'."
Mu Qingyan listened quietly and instinctively moved closer, as if trying to see something.
As expected, Kins's gaze and expression remained flawless.
"But if you really want to comfort me, why not let your clever brain work while I'm recharging my batteries? I'd be happy to dance with Yan so we don't get stepped on, okay?"
…
Although until the night of the dinner, Mu Qingyan's number of mistakes remained around 12.
Fortunately, her dance partner is York, who is also not good at this. It is still unclear who will step on whom, so she is not worried at all.
After all, right now, she should be worried about how to get some inside information about BI from the host of the dinner, David Dai, VP (Vice President) of Infinity Asia.
Coincidentally, this Mr. Dai is Ye Wanning's uncle.
I have to say that Infinity's employees are treated very well. The layout and design of this villa from the inside out are much more luxurious than York's home in Palo Alto, California.
"After all, I am your subordinate and colleague. If I don't go and talk to that VP, perhaps you will become the protagonist of the dinner." Mu Qingyan joked.
"Oh Yan, stop joking. I don't think Mr. Dai and I know each other. I'm just here tonight to act as a human standee, or, what do you call it, the 'gigolo' next to the sugar daddy, right?"
"...Brother, where did you learn all this..."
Before she could finish her complaints, a graceful figure walked out of the main house and waved to her.
Ye Wanning was wearing a white strapless evening gown tonight. The soft and flared fishtail skirt made the girl look more romantic and charming.
"Qingyan, you are so beautiful today..."
Mu Qingyan was very happy to see that the other party was no longer as defensive and hostile as he was in the past few days.
"Ms. Ye is the one. Thank you for the invitation."
"No, Qingyan, don't be so formal. I told you I want to apologize to you this time. You must forgive me. I must have been confused at that time—"
"Wanning——"
Mu Qingyan held the girl's hand,
"Okay, it's all over. How about you introduce me to the guests here? Otherwise, York and I won't be familiar with the place, and it will be too awkward."
A joke finally changed the topic. Ye Wanning briefly greeted York and led the two inside.
The magnificent main hall has been decorated. In the center is a dance floor made of transparent alloy and nano-fiber optics. As the guests move around, the light and shadow change like flowing water.
The huge dome is naturally a holographic projection technology, and the exquisite reliefs and murals around it show extraordinary artistic charm, complementing it.
With the added bonus of the robots' high-end service level, the host's identity and status are naturally demonstrated everywhere.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, miss."
Mu Qingyan accidentally bumped into the autonomous intelligence that was shuttling back and forth. After hearing the calm apology, she waved her hand, then raised her eyebrows and confirmed their grades and models with her old friend beside her.
"Well... the batch from 16 months ago, the Optimus Prime series, quite commemorative. It can be seen that this VP may be a loyal fan of Dustin..." York said, stroking his chin.
Before he finished speaking, a cold voice sounded behind him:
"You two have good taste."
Ye Wanning smiled and greeted the person:
"Qingyan, let me introduce you. This is my cousin, Jennifer Dai Jinning. Believe me, you two must have a lot of topics in common!"
Mu Qingyan was indeed stunned for a moment.
This Miss Dai's temperament was completely different from Ye Wanning's. Her gaze and expression were not as kind and gentle as the latter's.
The smooth black hair that fell to her waist, coupled with the black long dress that was not overly decorated but showed its value, gave her a unique ethereal and cold air.
Somehow, this feels familiar.
"Just call me Jen. Hello, Miss Mu, I've heard of you for a long time, and today I finally have the honor of meeting you."
"Yan." Mu Qingyan nodded and began to introduce herself according to the etiquette. "This is York, my good friend. It is our honor to be invited here."
Dai Jinning turned around, her gaze lingering for a moment on that rather exotic face:
"This gentleman seems to be very knowledgeable about Infinity products. I wonder where he is employed?"
Before anyone could answer, Ye Wanning took her arm and said:
"Qingyan, York, my cousin graduated from graduate school a year ago and started working at Infinity headquarters. She was recently assigned to the European branch. This is a rare vacation she's back from, so my uncle is going to throw her a welcome party no matter what!"
Dai Jinning didn't show any special expression at all because of these compliments:
"My father and I have always been very pleased with the robots we use at home. Truly, they're Dustin's personal creations, so naturally, they're flawless. However, their appearance isn't much different from the designs previously created by our CTO, Mr. Stanson. How did you spot that, Mr. York?"
Mu Qingyan was asking the same question and looked over with interest.
Mr. Stanson, who was genuine, just shrugged after hearing this:
"Oh, nothing. I just thought those guys seemed to have Dustin's arrogance. I was just making a wild guess. Please don't be offended, ma'am."
These words seemed to reveal dissatisfaction with the only boss. Mu Qingyan knew there was something hidden, so he sighed helplessly and stopped asking questions.
But it’s a different story when it falls into other people’s ears.
Even though the man in front of him looked quite impressive, he actually dared to look down on the genius who monopolized the European and American robot manufacturing industry for no reason. Dai Jinning's cold expression instantly became a bit ironic.
"Dustin has been the focus of the entire industry since he was young. Now his career has reached its peak, almost unmatched. Compared to his tricks of tampering with other people's phones, I think he does have the capital to be arrogant. Mr. York, what do you think?"
York raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
Although the small program does not have much technical content, it is still quite rare that it can be easily discovered by others.
He was about to say a few words of praise when a familiar voice suddenly interrupted him.
"What are you talking about? You look so happy?"
Ye Wanning reacted the fastest, moving lightly in front of the man.
"Achi, you're here!"
"You only see your sweetheart, but not your uncle?"
Mu Qingyan turned around and looked at the deep and teasing bass voice.
——David. Dai?
The middle-aged man was tall and had a cheerful expression. Although his hair and brows had some wrinkles, he still couldn't hide his former charm. He was joking with his niece with a bit of doting, which was in line with her imagination of the image of an elder who loved his children.
Ye Wanning felt a little embarrassed by what she said. She first lifted her skirt very gracefully, bent over, and called out "Uncle", and then quietly took the hand of another man next to her.
She was very happy that she was not rejected.
"Achi, Qingyan is here with Mr. York. He's also her dance partner tonight. Shall we go over and say hello? ...Achi?"
Yan Chi's eyes passed over her lightly.
How could she not guess the direction of his gaze?
But it was the elder who spoke first:
"Qing Yan? Could this be the recently famous Miss Mu? She certainly has the credentials. But Miss Mu, you're getting entangled with someone else's fiancé for no reason. At such a young age, you're still causing so much trouble. Aren't you a little too hasty?"
“Uncle——”
"Mr. Dai——"
Yan Chi and York spoke at the same time.
Before he could say anything, he was stopped by the person involved.
Mu Qingyan walked over calmly and nodded politely:
"Mr. Dai, I'm honored to be invited. As a senior executive at Infinity, you should be able to identify and appoint the right people. I won't elaborate on what happened a few days ago. This time, I'm here to sincerely seek your advice. As you know I'm about to join Shen's, please forgive me for asking, as a junior, whether Infinity would consider technical cooperation with BI in the Asia region?"
"Ms. Mu, you're just a small operations director. Even if you go to Shen's, it's not your turn to ask this question, right?"
"Oh, is that so? Then I wonder if I can ask Uncle Dai~"
Mu Qingyan was stunned——
How could she forget that this little ancestor is coming too!
