Chapter 33: Man Versus Robot

Wei Zhou was stunned. Su Yan’s words were like steel needles piercing into his ears. Before he could regain his senses, Su Yan had already disappeared from his line of vision.

“Damn it!” Wei Zhou growled. Ever since he was born, this was the first time someone dared to scold him in his face. He could not accept it.

Taking out his phone, Wei Zhou called his secretary, Li Rong. “Tell Wan Xing that the project is on hold!”

With that, Wei Zhou hung up the phone. There was nothing he could do about Su Yan, so he could only vent his anger on someone else. On the other end of the phone, Li Rong was at a loss. She did not know who had offended Wei Zhou again.

Su Yan stormed back into the restaurant with an ugly expression on her face. One could feel the chill she was emitting from five meters away. She was still angry although she had scolded Wei Zhou. On seeing Su Yan like this, Tang Yitong instantly became an obedient little quail again. She didn’t dare to provoke the angry Su Yan.

“You’re still eating? Do you know how fat you are?” Su Yan looked at Tang Yitong and said angrily.

Tang Yitong looked at the cabbage in her bowl and was speechless. She was 1.7 meters tall and weighed only 80 pounds, but she was called fat. She wanted to die.

“Little Yan Yan, don’t be angry. Cinnabar Mole also left. I can tell that she doesn’t have a good relationship with Wei Zhou. At least, it’s obvious that Wei Zhou doesn’t like her,” Tang Yitong said weakly.

Su Yan glared at her and looked at Meng Jingzhan. “Little Meng, are you full?”

Meng Jingzhan nodded, indicating that he was full. Su Yan picked up her bag, stood up, and walked out. She was enjoying a good meal, but Wei Zhou had ruined her mood completely.

Seeing that Su Yan and Meng Jingzhan were about to leave, Tang Yitong looked at the remaining delicacies on the table. She secretly picked up a sweet prawn and stuffed it into her mouth before hurriedly chasing after them.

Just as they left the door, Chai Xingyu walked towards them. He handed the car keys to Su Yan and said, “Rising Emperor Technology Company will be going public in the middle of next month. Are you free to participate in the event?”

“I’m not free. You can just go in my stead,” Su Yan refused.

“Uh... Okay,” Chai Xingyu said with a bitter smile. He had been friends with Su Yan for more than 20 years. Naturally, he could tell that Su Yan was in a bad mood. He could only find another time to talk about it later. The company’s going public was such a big deal. It’d really not make sense if Su Yan, the major shareholder, did not go...

“Little Yan Yan, then Xingyu and I will make a move first. Little Meng will be in your hands. Mwah!” After blowing a kiss at Su Yan, Tang Yitong pulled Chai Xingyu and left.

Seeing that Tang Yitong was taking advantage of her again, Su Yan said angrily, “Keep up your reckless acts! Who knows, you might be photographed by the paparazzi one day!”

Tang Yitong was shocked. She quickly put on her sunglasses and looked around. When she realized that no one was secretly photographing her, she heaved a sigh of relief and quickly got into the car and left. She had been secretly photographed last month and had spent millions to suppress the matter.

...

In the villa, Su Yan collapsed on the sofa. Meng Jingzhan was talking to the robot expressionlessly. It was as if two robots were talking to each other. Since Meng Jingzhan had not joined the company, the company did not arrange a dormitory for him yet. Su Yan could only shelter him in her own home for one night until arrangements were made.

“Little Meng, there are two rooms at the corner of the first floor. You can choose either one. The second floor is my private territory. Don’t go up and peek if you have nothing to do,” Su Yan said lazily as she lay on the sofa.

“Okay!” Meng Jingzhan nodded in agreement. His ears turned red uncontrollably.

The robot, Xiao Xiao, walked over and blinked its big, cute, LED eyes. “Little Meng, are you sick? Xiao Xiao can hear that your heart is beating very fast.”

Meng Jingzhan was stunned. The next second, his entire face turned red. He stole a glance at Su Yan and realized that she was looking at him with a teasing look. He hurriedly turned his head and stared at Xiao Xiao.

“Do you believe that I will dismantle you?” Meng Jingzhan threatened.

“Warning, someone is threatening Xiao Xiao. According to the robot’s safety agreement, without the owner’s permission, any threat to Xiao Xiao’s existence can be eliminated by Xiao Xiao at its discretion,” As Xiao Xiao’s tender voice rang out, a cylindrical pillar extended out from its mechanical body.

A few electric arcs flashed with the buzzing sound of electricity.

Meng Jingzhan: “...”

The next second, Xiao Xiao charged toward Meng Jingzhan. Meng Jingzhan turned around and ran. The villa was in chaos. Su Yan laid on the sofa, laughing as tears flowed down her face. Her depressed mood was instantly swept away.

“Sister Su, quickly give the order to stop it!” Meng Jingzhan dodged while calling for help.

“Hmph, it’s your fault. Settle it yourself. Who told you to bully Xiao Xiao?” Su Yan said ruthlessly.

Without waiting for Meng Jingzhan to continue speaking, Xiao Xiao went past the sofa and rushed towards him again. Meng Jingzhan was so scared that he ran away. Looking at his hilariously panicked back view, Su Yan muttered to herself, “This young fellow is interesting!”

The war between man and robot lasted for half an hour before Su Yan ordered Xiao Xiao to calm down. She arranged for Meng Jingzhan to go into the bathroom to take a shower, then she carried her bag and left the villa.

This afternoon, she had to meet someone. She had an important investment project to discuss, so she could only leave Meng Jingzhan at home. However, with Xiao Xiao accompanying him, he would not be too lonely.
