Chapter 671: Cartoon Character! (2)

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Planting trees for the benefit of future generations.” Zhou Chao understood this principle well, and for a moment, he fell into deep thought.

He wasn’t sure how long he had been lost in thought, but Zhou Chao felt the water in the bathtub turning cold, and his thoughts snapped back to reality.

After getting dressed and grabbing his phone, Zhou Chao came downstairs only to find Lin Wu already preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

Glancing at the time, it was only about 8:15 in the morning. “When did you come over? Why so early?”

Busy with his tasks, Lin Wu turned around upon hearing Zhou Chao’s voice. “I just got here a while ago. Boss, breakfast will be ready in a few minutes!” “Alright!” Zhou Chao nodded and sat down at the dining table, taking out his phone from his pocket to play with Xiao Guo.

After all, curiosity got the better of everyone, and he wanted to learn more about Xiao Guo’s functions.

Hearing the voices coming from outside, Lin Wu occasionally peeked out, wondering who Zhou Chao was chatting with on his phone. His expressions varied widely.

“Could Boss have found a little cutie outside?” A crazy thought flashed through Lin Wu’s mind.

“Probably not, the voice sounds childish!” For a moment, Lin Wu was also puzzled, various thoughts flashing through his mind.

Soon, the meticulously made poached eggs by Lin Wu were ready. Unable to contain his curiosity, Lin Wu carried the poached eggs and hurried towards the dining room.

Lin Wu placed a plate of poached eggs in front of Zhou Chao and glanced at his phone.

“Lin Wu, what are you peeking at!” A childish voice came from the phone, startling Lin Wu.

“Boss… what… what is this?” Lin Wu finally saw clearly. The person… no, it should be the cartoon character speaking was exactly the one on Zhou Chao’s phone screen.

He could be absolutely sure that this wasn’t a voice call or anything of the sort. “I’m not a cartoon character! I, the great Xiao Guo, am an artificial intelligence created by Brother Chao himself. Hmph, if you make me angry, watch me give you a hard time!” Xiao Guo put its hands on its hips, looking proud through the screen.

“Artificial intelligence?” Lin Wu exclaimed incredulously.

“Don’t be so surprised, let’s eat breakfast first. Xiao Guo, you should rest!” Zhou Chao rubbed his ears. Lin Wu’s shout just now was indeed a bit too loud.

Lin Wu also realized that he had been a bit out of line, so he smiled apologetically. But the shock in his eyes didn’t diminish, and he kept glancing at the phone on the table from time to time.

Zhou Chao didn’t pay much attention to Lin Wu’s small movements. After all, anyone else would probably react similarly. Thinking back to his own performance in the early hours of the morning, he was no different from Lin Wu.

After breakfast, Zhou Chao played with Shoufu for a while. When Lin Wu finished cleaning up the kitchen, they both left directly.

Lin Wu, who was full of questions, had been looking hesitant to speak since they left the house.

“If you have something to ask, just ask. There’s nothing you need to feel embarrassed about between us!” Zhou Chao smiled.

Hearing this, Lin Wu quickly asked, “Boss, is that thing really artificial intelligence? Is it as powerful as those in science fiction movies?”

“I’m not a thing! You are!” A somewhat annoyed voice came from Zhou Chao’s phone.

“Alright, Xiao Guo!” Zhou Chao gently tapped his phone and said.

“Hmph!” A childish voice sounded, and Zhou Chao’s phone screen went dark.

“Xiao Guo is indeed artificial intelligence. It’s more powerful than most artificial intelligence in those sci-fi movies. If we add some hardware to it, Xiao Guo can roam the entire network.”

With a touch of pride on Zhou Chao’s face, he knew that Xiao Guo was created by his own hands.

Zhou Chao smirked mischievously, “Yeah, don’t badmouth it behind its back. Xiao Guo is omnipresent!”

“Oh, I see, Boss!” Lin Wu, who had watched many sci-fi movies, had already imagined Xiao Guo appearing on every electronic device in his mind.

Twenty minutes later, the two arrived at the headquarters by car. The headquarters of Dragonfly Group had moved from Jinmao Tower to a new building.

This was Zhou Chao’s first official visit to the newly constructed headquarters, although he had been here before, he had never gone inside.

As soon as Zhou Chao and Lin Wu entered the gate, they were stopped by the card-swiping access control machine.

“Do you have your ID?” Zhou Chao turned to Lin Wu and asked.

“Boss, if you don’t have it, how could I?” Lin Wu shrugged helplessly. Who knew there would be this thing at the company headquarters?

Fortunately, there were patrolling security guards in the lobby, and Lin Wu, as the head of the company’s security department, was known to the staff.

“Director Lin!” A patrol team leader quickly ran to Lin Wu’s side.

“Open the door for us, and by the way, which floor is President Ling on?” Lin Wu didn’t say much, he just asked the team leader to open the access control.

“28th floor!” The team leader quickly took out his own ID card to open the access control. Zhou Chao and Lin Wu didn’t stay long and went straight to the elevator.

As they watched the two enter the elevator, the security team leader breathed a sigh of relief.

“Team leader, isn’t the person in front of Director Lin the Boss?” At this moment, a security guard approached and asked softly.

“It should be. I didn’t expect to meet the Boss today!” The team leader was also a little excited. He would have something to brag about when he changed shifts later.

At this time, Zhou Chao and Lin Wu had already arrived at the 28th floor by elevator. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they felt a refreshing sensation.

To the left of the elevator was a leisure and entertainment area. Zhou Chao noticed that the facilities in the entertainment area were quite comprehensive, offering everything from food and drink to entertainment.

“Boss!” Ling Chen’s secretary appeared beside them at some point.

Zhou Chao withdrew his gaze and said to the secretary beside him, “You came at just the right time. Take me to Ling Chen’s office!”

“Boss, please follow me!” The secretary bowed slightly and gestured with her right hand.

Upon arriving at Ling Chen’s office, they saw him sitting at the tea table brewing Longjing tea. There were three cups on the table, apparently he knew that Zhou Chao and his team had arrived.

“Boss, you’re finally here. This is freshly brewed pre-rain Longjing tea!” Ling Chen stood up excitedly and exclaimed. He had been wondering how to spend these past two days, constantly thinking about the artificial intelligence system.

“No need to be so attentive without reason, either you’re up to no good or you’re stealing. That’s not your style, Ling Chen!” Zhou Chao looked at Ling Chen teasingly.

“I’m just thinking about the Boss…” He was about to say more, but seeing the secretary still standing nearby, he quickly swallowed his words.

Ling Chen waved his hand at the secretary, “You can go out first. I’ll call you if I need anything!”

Once the secretary left, Ling Chen rubbed his hands excitedly, “Boss, let me see the artificial intelligence you created!”

“What’s the rush? I haven’t even finished my tea. Take it easy!” Zhou Chao slowly sipped his tea from the cup.

Seeing Ling Chen’s eagerness, he seemed restless, as if he had a cat on his mind, scratching away.

Ling Chen and Lin Wu exchanged glances, both feeling a bit helpless as they sat down at the tea table to drink their tea.

It wasn’t until Ling Chen and Lin Wu had drunk about four or five cups of tea that Zhou Chao finally set down his tea cup.

“Seeing how eager you guys are, I’ll let you have a good look today!” With that, Zhou Chao got up and walked towards the desk.

He took out his phone from his pocket, plugged in the data cable, and directly connected it to the computer.

As Zhou Chao operated, Xiao Guo was transferred from his phone to Ling Chen’s office computer.

“Xiao Guo, come out!”

As soon as Zhou Chao’s voice fell, the computer’s built-in speakers played the sound of fireworks, and the screen was filled with fireworks.

“With a loud bang in the sky, here comes Xiao Guo, shining brightly! Where’s the applause?” A cute cartoon character appeared on the screen in front of everyone.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Chao covered his eyes directly, never expecting Xiao Guo to be so self-centered..
