    “Don’t mind him, let’s just head out,” Sylvia said dismissively.


    Sylvia wasn’t keen on bringing Ingrid along anyway. If Ingrid slipped up at this moment, it would be


    ideal. They could seize the opportunity to dismiss her, saving themselves from any potential trouble


    down the line.


    Juliet nodded in agreement and joined Sylvia in getting into the car, ready to head to the tech


    company.


    When they arrived at the techpany, their host was already waiting at the entrance. Frank’s


    company seemed to be doing quite well. It was said that Sylvia’s visit had prompted him to


    personally greet them.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Waiting outside, Frank greeted Sylvia and Juliet with a smile upon seeing them, introducing them to


    thepany before leading them inside.


    Since thepany was involved in smart development, heading to the development department


    revealed many interesting things, bothrge and small, infused with artificial intelligence, all


    incredibly intriguing.


    “This rm clock is quite something. Besides its basic function, we’ve integrated artificial


    intelligence into it. So, the way it wakes you up every mo..ing is quite personalized. If you don’t get


    up after the first rm, the second time it might resort to nagging you, or even other tactics,


    depending on how early orte you wake up.”


    Juliet toyed with the rm clock, setting a time, and soon enough, it started ringing, followed by the


    AI’s nagging mode.


    The AI was indeed relentless, almost never repeating itself for about three minutes and delivering


    its message rapidly, leaving no room for interruption..


    “Oh my goodness, making this thing! It’s like torture, isn’t it? It’s terrifying,” Juliet. eximed,


    relieved that she had only set one rm. With this rm clock, she wouldn’t fear oversleeping in


    the mornings anymore.


    Frank chuckled before moving them along to a doll. It was evident that this doll was also embedded


    with an artificial intelligence system.


    Resembling a teddy bear, this doll was capable of intelligent conversations with people, more like a


    nanny–typepanion doll.


    “This doll is designed for children. Have you considered promoting it?” Sylvia inquired.

    “Of course, we’ve already started promoting it. Currently, we’re in the process of upgrading the


    system. It’s updated frequently, as technology evolves rapidly. We have to keep updating


    to maintain our market share.”


    After all, they were in the business of tech development, and staying at the forefront of technology


    was their mainpetitive advantage.


    Sylvia nodded in understanding. As they explored the development department further, they came


    across various items, starting with small toys and progressing torger objects, all incorporating Al


    systems.


    Overall, these Al systems were impressive. Sylvia couldn’t help butpare thispany to theirs,


    recognizing that their technological development was superior. Coboration wouldn’t be a bad idea


    if it came to that.


    “Recently, our Ivan Group has been considering AI development systems. Do you have any interest


    in coborating?” Sylvia asked directly as they exited the development department. Over the years,


    Frank’spany had indeed partnered with manypanies, but most of them weren’t involved in


    Al.


    There were also some tech developmentpanies, with whom they had coborated on specific


    projects, but they hadn’t directly integrated their systems.


    Frank understood Sylvia’s intention from her words. They wanted to coborate on


    development.


    “I have no objections, but I need to see if what you’re doing aligns with what we’re doing. If not,


    even if there’s potential, we may not be able to coborate.”


    “You’re right. Our AI direction mainly focuses on healthcare. Yourpany’s healthcare AI system


    seems impressive. We could coborate deeply on that.”


    “To be honest, ourpany’s uing direction isn’t in healthcare. The AI system we’ve


    developed isn’t perfect yet, and it has only undergone one test. However, if your standards are high,


    we could share information and borate, not toy their cards on


    the table.

    “Oh, by the way, a friend of mine ising over today. Hispany is also quite good. Why don’t


    we meet? There might be an opportunity for coboration,” Frank suggested.


    Sylvia and Juliet exchanged a nce. They both knew who Frank was referring to. But, being in his


    company, they didn’t refuse. Soon enough, they came face to face with Cyril and Ingrid.


    Yes, Ingrid was apanying Cyril. When he saw Sylvia, he seemed uneasy, avoiding eye contact


    with her.


    Sylvia nced at him briefly before retracting her gaze. Was Ingrid here to meet Cyril today?


    “He’s my friend,” Frank said, unaware of the rtionship between Cyril and Sylvia. Although they


    did have some contact privately, Frank was unaware of Cyril’s marriage. He simply thought that


    pulling Cyril in would make the coboration between the three parties more stable. But as they


    faced each other, Frank felt that something was off.


    “Um, do you two know each other?” Frank nced between Cyril and Sylvia, noticing Cyril’s intense


    gaze fixed on Sylvia, as if he couldn’t look away.
