Chapter 822

After entering the shop she saw that it was a place around tens of square meters wide and there were four tables placed inside. The kitchen was just right behind the hall, which was blocked by a glass wall. One could see the clean kitchen from the outside.

There was currently a middle-aged man standing inside the kitchen wearing a chef’s uniform while wearing a mask and cooking up some dishes.

At the sight of the guests, he quickly extinguished the fire and trotted out to say hello.

“Mr. Tang, you’re here.”

He quickly said to the young man who led them inside, “Wu Guang, quickly clear a table for Mr. Tang to sit down at.”

After that, he asked, “I wonder what the two of you want to eat? I’ll go prepare it right away.”

“Just cooking us a few home-cooked dishes will do.” Mr. Tang then said, “Pour another cup of fresh coconut juice for Little Zi.”

“Ok, you guys can sit down first. I’ll go and cook the dishes right away.”

As soon as they took a seat, Lu Jingye was brought in from outside.

“Mr. Tang.”

“Little Lu, come over and have a seat.”

Lu Jingye walked over to Zi Yi’s side and sat down.

After the three took their seats, Wu Guang served them tea and coconut juice before he left.

Mr. Tang started to talk. “It’s more convenient to talk here. The boss here is my former subordinate and those outside here will keep watch to prevent others from coming in.”

Zi Yi lifted the cup of coconut juice.

It was newly opened coconut juice and it tasted very fresh.

Mr. Tang’s expression suddenly turned serious as he said to the two of them, “People from the embassy of Country D came to me today. They revealed that many of Little Zi’s robot technologies are similar to the core technology of their Super AI robots. They want us to give them an explanation as soon as possible or they will sue you in the international court.”

Upon hearing what Mr. Tang said, her movements paused for a second. She gave a scoff and continued drinking her juice.

On the other hand, Lu Jingye’s expression turned cold. “What’s the evidence they provided?”

Zi Yi took out a phone from Lu Jingye’s pocket and quickly swiped around.

Mr. Tang looked at their expressions and said, “They captured someone on their side and claimed that the person was sent by Little Lu.”

Zi Yi soon found the answer. “They’re claiming that the core technologies of my robots were stolen by the Lu Family’s secret guards sent by Ah Jing. Most importantly, the person they captured admitted that he’s from the Lu Family’s secret guards.”

Speaking of this, she returned the phone to Lu Jingye.

He quickly looked at what was reflected on the screen.

Zi Yi scoffed and said, “In my opinion, they are unable to find any reason to frame us and so, they randomly pushed someone out to claim that they’re from the Lu Family’s secret guards. It’s such a piece of untenable evidence and aren’t they afraid that we will expose it easily?”

Mr. Tang looked at Lu Jingye. In fact, that was what he had thought so too.

Lu Jingye’s expression became even more serious as he said, “The face of the person they caught was indeed a captain of the Lu Family’s secret guards. He died in Country A last year when he was on a mission with Yunxiao.”

Zi Yi narrowed her eyes. “It seems like they came prepared. If my guess is right, this person should be a clone.”

Mr. Tang’s expression also turned serious. “Clone? In that case, Country A and Country D have joined forces?”

Zi Yi and Lu Jingye looked at each other.

In fact, both of them had guessed who the culprit was behind this.

It was that male worm along with his children.

Mr. Tang looked at Zi Yi and asked, “Little Zi, do you have any countermeasures?”

“We’ll first get them to take out the evidence before anything else. Since Country D claims that we stole their core technology, then we’ll let them see that their core technology is nothing significant in my eyes.”

Zi Yi’s words were a little arrogant, but Mr. Tang was a little excited when he heard that.

“Do you mean it?”

Zi Yi nodded her head.

Mr. Tang smiled. He took a sip of water to calm down his internal excitement. “In our country, the development of robots is decades behind that of several other counties. Ever since I took over this task, my biggest dream is to surpass them one day and stand out from the crowd. If Little Zi can really achieve that, it’ll be fantastic.”

Mr. Tang felt that he was a good judge of character and knew how to win over people’s hearts. Zi Yi’s weakness was Lu Jingye and similarly, Lu Jingye’s weakness was her. As long as he treats them sincerely, they will naturally be the country’s greatest help.

…

Country D’s speed of doing things was very fast. They had already submitted the documents of arresting Lu Jingye and Zi Yi, and extracting them to their country.

However, China had suppressed it.

Their reason was that Zi Yi and Lu Jingye also have the evidence to prove that they did not steal any of Country D’s technologies.

Thus, both sides were in a stalemate.

This matter was yet to be known to the public and the outside world was very calm.

Lu Jingye still continued going to work while Zi Yi continued heading to the Robot R&D Center every day.

One day, Leader Li came looking for Zi Yi during lunchtime once again.

She said to Zi Yi, “I checked with Mr. Tang and indeed, he knows of your information and there’s no need for me to record it again. Miss Zi, I’m sorry. I didn’t know about it.”

“It’s fine.”

The five men seated across from them would occasionally steal glances at Leader Li. However, they were not as excited as they were the first time as they had come to believe that Leader Li was married.

However, Leader Li’s appearance was too lethal for these otakus. Engineer Chu’s blood surged to his brain and he asked, “Leader Li, are you married?”

The moment Engineer Chu asked this question, the other four engineers looked at her with a burning gaze.

Zi Yi looked at Engineer Chu in surprise and at the same time, she focused on Leader Li’s face.

Unexpectedly, Leader Li answered frankly, “I’m not.”

Following that, she even provided an explanation. “I’m too busy with work to get married.”

The moment the engineers heard her, their eyes suddenly lit up.

It seems like they still had a chance.

However, Zi Yi had the impulse to hold her forehead.

The reaction of these people, who seemed as though they had never seen a woman before, was really obscene.

Leader Li didn’t seem to feel their scorching gazes at all and she asked them, “Several of the materials your team requested to be ordered have been completed. I will be making a trip over tomorrow and you can send someone to go with me.”

The engineers made eye contact with each other and each one had the thought of going.

Leader Li left after she finished conveying what she wanted to convey. However, when the engineers returned to the research building, there was an undercurrent surging.

Engineer Meng was the first to speak. “We are all single and we’re all interested in Leader Li. How about this, let’s have a PK. Whoever wins will go tomorrow.”

“So be it. For someone like Leader Li, I’m the only one that deserves her. We will be the perfect combination of a beauty and a brave warrior.”

“Ahh…”

“I am the oldest!”

“You can even be her father.”

“I’m the most handsome!”

*Vomits*

…

The friendship established between them was broken just like that.

Zi Yi sat there and watched the drama.

Since they were going to compete with each other, it would definitely be related to making robots. She was not worried that they might get into a fight.

Even if they do get into a fight, she would only remain a bystander and watch the show.

Just then, Engineer Yang said, “In that case, let’s compete to see who can make a robot in the shortest time possible. Zi Yi shall be the referee.”

The moment Engineer Yang said that, everyone turned to look at Zi Yi.
