He Bai didn’t stay at Cheng Liu’s house for too long, and left after applying the medicine for her. He had been shocked by her lack of interest in her boyfriend, and made fun of her some more before going back.

Cheng Liu now had a deeper understanding of her boyfriend’s current indifference to her coaxing.

She was truly in the wrong.

After this profound introspection, Cheng Liu turned around and went to the study room, printed out the quarterly summary report, and went to bed after reading through it.

Early the next morning, Cheng Liu got up and went to the office.

Shenyin was a technology company specializing in artificial intelligence, almost solely created by Cheng Liu.

Shenyin Technology’s AI projects achieved impressive results in recent years, and it entered into several successful partnerships in various sectors. Thus, Cheng Liu’s net worth has risen again and again.

Starting this year, Shenyin Technology was preparing to enter the field of self-driving cars. Yesterday morning, Cheng Liu went to an R&D lab owned by a car company in G City, which was a place specially designed for the research of self-driving technology.

It didn’t work out very well.

Nowadays, the auto industry was interested in conducting autonomous driving research and it’s going down two paths. Some car companies are cooperating with AI technology companies—like Shenyin Technology—to adopt the latter’s AI systems into their cars. On the other hand, some car companies were powerful and had deep pockets, and were poaching people left and right to develop their own in-house systems.

However, no matter which car company was mentioned, so far, none has developed L4 level autonomous driving technology.

The reality is that there was still some way to go to achieve full automation.

Cheng Liu stood in Shenyin’s R&D room, looking at the experimental machines. Her company was ahead in solving key technical barriers.

“The car company in G City sent an email.” He Bo, standing beside Cheng Liu, handed over a tablet. “The contract expires next month, and they are not going to continue their partnership with us.”

Cheng Liu took the tablet and scrolled with her fingertips, quickly reading the content of the email. There was not much emotion on her face. “They can’t afford it anymore.”

After the last experimental test failed yesterday morning, except for her, everyone present looked extremely ugly.

It can be estimated that the executives of the car company held a meeting after Cheng Liu left, and finally decided to suspend the R&D funding of the autonomous driving project.

Seeing the faces of those executives at the scene yesterday, Cheng Liu already had a premonition in her heart, so she wasn’t too surprised by this development.

“There are two other car companies in G City, which are about the same size, and one of them has an even better R&D department.” He Bai raised his hand and pushed his rimless glasses. “Do you want me to contact them? “

Cheng Liu returned the tablet to her chief assistant. “No hurry, we will focus on making a complete breakthrough against our technical barriers before deciding which car company to cooperate with.”

She turned her head to look at He Bai, and her eyes lingered on his glasses for a few more seconds than usual. “Besides, it’s not only City G that has car companies. I remember that City S also has a big car company.” 

“Okay, then I’ll talk to them about the termination of the contract first.” Then He Bai raised his eyebrows and said something not related to work, “Why does Boss Cheng look at me like that today?”

“You changed your glasses,” Cheng Liu affirmed.

Not only did he change into a new pair of glasses today, but he also wore a black suit with excellent texture and a dark red, patterned tie, which made his shoulders seem wider and his legs longer, showcasing him as a gentle and handsome man.

The light from the R&D room fell from above and shone on He Bai. Standing here, he looked like a male model who had just finished a runway show, a natural clothes horse.

Not only today, if Cheng Liu ever observed carefully, she would find that he never wears the same suit twice in a row, not to mention how many pairs of eyeglasses he has.

“It’s rare for Boss Cheng to notice that I changed my glasses,” He Bai said with a smile. “It seems that this pair of glasses look better than the others.” 

Cheng Liu turned to He Bai and gave him a strange look. “It’s the frame of your glasses from last night. It was too bright—it looked like two big light bulbs at first glance.”

The arc of He Bai’s lips froze in place. “…Why didn’t I hear you mention it last night?”

“I saw that you were very happy wearing it, so I didn’t mention it.” Cheng Liu slowed down, raised her hand and patted her chief assistant on the shoulder, “I can handle the flashlights of the media, let alone a mere pair of glasses.”

“…”

Two. Big. Lightbulbs. On his face!

Every word punished the heart.

Chief Assistant He grabbed the railing, closed his eyes hard, and took a deep breath. “Thank you for your consideration.”

When he opened his eyes again, Cheng Liu had already walked away.

…..

A workaholic like Cheng Liu, even if there was nothing wrong with the company, she would not leave early. She could stay in the company 24 hours a day.

But today was a little different—because Cheng Liu received a message from her boyfriend at ten o’clock.

Boyfriend: [Come pick me up at eleven. ]

Cheng Liu was listening to a department manager make a progress report when she received this message.

She was sitting behind her desk, flicking a black pen in one hand, occasionally scratching the tip of the pen on her sleeve without caring much about it. With her other hand, she was casually flipping through the progress report handed over by the department manager, and she just as casually glanced at the phone on her desk, lit up with a new incoming message.

She immediately sat up straight.

The boyfriend took the initiative to find her!

She must not be ignored this time, she must meet all the requirements of her boyfriend!

The department manager was talking incessantly, and seeing Cheng Liu’s sudden movement, he thought he had hit the point, and his voice became several degrees louder.

Cheng Liu looked at the time and raised her hand to signal the department manager to stop. “I understand, you go back first and we’ll talk next time.” 

“Huh?” The department manager was firmly urged out the door and had to leave mid-sentence.

Cheng Liu looked down at the WeChat message. Thinking of her boyfriend sitting in the dim light of the private room last night, her heart began to pound again.

She sat upright and hurriedly replied to her boyfriend: [Okay!]

In order to express her resolve, she also sent a salute gesture.

Then Cheng Liu stood up, ready to leave early.

The Shenyin Technology offices were a little far away from Wenxing Community. Since she, Cheng Liu, has decided to be a good girlfriend, then she must not be late.

Chief Assistant He’s office was right outside Cheng Liu’s. He raised his head and saw her pushing open the door with her backpack on, and automatically asked, “Where are you going?” 

Her itinerary was, of course, arranged by He Bai. There were no appointments she needed to go to at this time.

“Nothing to do today.” Cheng Liu walked out quickly, “I’m going to find my boyfriend.”

He Bo was stunned, and it wasn’t until Cheng Liu had already disappeared outside the door that he slowly realized what she just said.

Haven’t you always been indifferent to your boyfriend? What happened this time?
