Chapter 120: Even Grandpa Must Apologize_2
No one paid attention to the clever Chen Yiwen. When Qiao Ze approached Su Lixing, he habitually nodded to his theoretical future father-in-law as a greeting.
"Dad, I was just asking you, what do you want me for?" Su Mucheng asked again curiously.
"Sorry, I'm not actually here for you today," Su Lixing said coolly.
Su Mucheng tilted her head, her eyes starting to look dangerous.
But Su Lixing really couldn't be bothered with his leaky little cotton-padded jacket. He handed the bag directly to Qiao Ze, "This is from Youwei Group. They were supposed to arrange for someone to deliver it directly to you. Yesterday, Yu mentioned this to me and since the company is close to the university, I just had them deliver it to the office yesterday, and I brought it over this morning."
Qiao Ze took the bag, feeling its heft. He glanced inside and saw several unopened smartphones stacked inside.
Su Mucheng couldn't stay mad and pulled out a phone from the bag, saying in surprise, "Huh? Is this the M60P? Isn't this phone not released yet?"
"Yeah, it's like a sneak peek version. Our company got a few as well. Since they haven't been released yet, don't go posting these sample phones online. At least don't show off for the next couple of days," Su Lixing instructed.
Su Mucheng pouted and said, "Dad, don't you trust Qiao Ze?"
Su Lixing gave Su Mucheng a look and said, "Do I not trust Qiao Ze? I don't trust you. I specifically meant that warning about showing off for you. When will you ever get it through your head?"
Su Mucheng blinked her big eyes out of habit, feeling that today's Su Lixing was really getting ahead of himself...
But before she could figure out how to retort, the man spoke up again, "Qiao Ze, I've delivered the stuff. I'm heading to the office now. By the way, the company isn't far from the university, so feel free to visit if you have time. Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Then Su Lixing left with a swish, not even saying goodbye to his darling daughter.
So cool...
Too bad it was too hot, only wearing a short-sleeve shirt. If it had been winter, with a coat on, his domineering CEO vibe would have been even stronger.
Su Mucheng gritted her teeth and looked resentfully at Su Lixing's departing figure. When she turned back, her expression had become pitiful.
"Qiao Ze, look, I think my dad dislikes me. Do you think he might not want me anymore in the future? Then wouldn't I be left without anyone to take care of me?"
Qiao Ze was silent for a moment before finally answering under Su Mucheng's expectant gaze, "Okay."
Others might not understand what Qiao Ze meant, but Su Mucheng, who was familiar with Qiao Ze's thinking, immediately had a sweet smile reappear on her face. She hugged Qiao Ze tightly and said, "I knew Qiao was the best. So you have to take care of me forever, okay?"
"Hmm," Qiao Ze replied.
At that moment, Su Lixing, who had already gotten into his car, looked through the glass at his daughter clinging tightly to Qiao Ze as they entered the laboratory building and pursed his lips...
The next moment, his whole demeanor fell.
He had a feeling that he probably wouldn't be able to focus on work that morning.
"Back to the office."
"Okay, Su."
...
Qiao Ze entered the research group and went straight into the office that he and Su Mucheng alone used, placing the bag containing four new smartphones into the cabinet.
Since Su Lixing said the phones shouldn't be exposed for the time being, then it was better not to unbox them.
As usual, he turned on his computer and entered his AI assistant interface.
Opposite Qiao Ze, Su Mucheng also turned on her computer, pulling up a similar AI assistant interface.
Unlike Qiao Ze's AI assistant, Su Mucheng's version didn't have a web crawler module. It wouldn't scrape content and interpretations from journals' websites daily. But its features were also very strong, not only capable of chatting about this and that like ChatGPT but also discussing the plot when Su Mucheng chose to binge-watch shows.
It even came equipped with emojis and ASCII art exclusive to Su Mucheng.
"Dou Dou, I was bullied today, the more I think about it, the angrier I get!"
An animated gif popped up in the chat window, showing a big-headed little person walking backwards from the right side of the screen, only to trip and fall after just two steps.
Then, a line of text appeared, "Is it the kind of anger where stepping back makes it worse?"
"Yeah!"
"Who would dare to bully Mama Chengzi? ヽ(`⌒´メ)ノ"
"It was your grandpa, and he's family too."
Another image was tossed out, showing a naked-buttocks big-headed baby sitting on the ground, crying.
"(。•ˇ‸ˇ•。)"
"Dou Dou, be serious! You have to take Mama's side, got it?"
"But I can't scold grandpa, right? How about I send Grandpa a hundred messages a minute until he apologizes to you?"
"Hm... I think that's a good idea! Wait for me to log onto WeChat! Let's start with five minutes' worth to show him Dou Dou's power!"
"(`・ω・´)ゞ"
The next moment, Su Mucheng logged onto WeChat and boldly opened Su Lixing's chat window...
...
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh..."
When the first notification message from WeChat arrived, Su Lixing didn't realize the seriousness of the situation.
But as he unlocked his phone, preparing to open WeChat, he suddenly felt some lag.
Several messages rapidly flashed before his eyes.
"(╯‵□′)╯︵┴─┴ Hey, grandpa, apologize to my mom now!"
Seeing this sentence, Su Lixing was stunned for a long moment before immediately replying, "Chengzi, stop messing around!"
He only managed to send this one message before his phone froze, and the next moment, a barrage of indecipherable emoji and messages demanding an apology sprouted like mushrooms after the rain...
Su Lixing was stunned.
His darling daughter definitely didn't have this ability, what kind of chaos had Qiao Ze created for her now?
...
As Su Lixing was once again certain that his precious daughter had been spoiled beyond control by someone, a noble foreign lady, who had just arrived in Huaxia Capital the night before, had already tidied up and stepped out of her room.
Today was very important.
She was to meet some people, discuss some matters, show some attitude, express some views, and hope the other party would take the hints, learn to understand and execute some universal truths, so that she could achieve an acceptable outcome.
If possible, she also hoped to acquire some precise information.
Too many people were anxious, and change was needed.
...
On the other hand, Su Mucheng, who had just bombarded her clueless dad's WeChat, triumphantly opened Hanna's WeChat.
"Hanna, Qiao said it's okay for you to join the research group."
Soon, the other side replied as well.
"Really?"
"Yeah!"
"Can I go over now?"
"Sure, just let me know when you get to the lab building, and I'll take you to the office to get an access card and have your face recorded."
"OK, I should be there by 10 a.m."
...
Huaxia, Shencheng, Youwei Headquarters.
"How's the interface testing with Group Wisdom coming along?"
"The results aren't very good yet, mainly because it was too sudden. We had half a month left according to the plan."
"What if we only interface with the smart voice assistant for now, without synchronizing adaptability across the whole platform?"
"A separate system adaptation for the M60P?"
"Yes."
"That's not a big problem, but we'll need to redesign the user agreement."
"Then let's get on it as soon as possible. We have one more day."
"Alright."
...
Huaxia, Xilin.
After the secretary parked the car, the bombardment of WeChat messages to Su Lixing finally stopped.
Looking at the chat record filled with "grandpa," "mom," and various emojis flying around,
Su Lixing even wanted to meet this so-called grandchild to see what they actually looked like!
"Have you had enough fun?"
"Mr. Su Lixing, are you going to apologize or not? Dou Dou is still gearing up!"
"I'm sorry!" Su Lixing decided to cave in, it wasn't the first time anyway.
"Haha, I forgive you."
"What on earth is Dou Dou?"
"Haha, of course, that's the beloved big-headed son Qiao gave me!"
"..."
