“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 tech company, 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.

Waiting outside, Frank greeted Sylvia and Juliet with a smile upon seeing them, introducing them to the company before leading them inside.

Since the company was involved in smart development, heading to the development department revealed many interesting things, both large and small, infused with artificial intelligence, all incredibly intriguing.

“This alarm 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 alarm, the second time it might resort to nagging you, or even other tactics, depending on how early or late you wake up.”

Juliet toyed with the alarm 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. exclaimed, relieved that she had only set one alarm. With this alarm 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–type companion 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 main competitive advantage.

Sylvia nodded in understanding. As they explored the development department further, they came across various items, starting with small toys and progressing to larger objects, all incorporating Al systems.

Overall, these Al systems were impressive. Sylvia couldn’t help but compare this company to theirs, recognizing that their technological development was superior. Collaboration 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 collaborating?” Sylvia asked directly as they exited the development department. Over the years, Frank’s company had indeed partnered with many companies, but most of them weren’t involved in Al.

There were also some tech development companies, with whom they had collaborated on specific projects, but they hadn’t directly integrated their systems.

Frank understood Sylvia’s intention from her words. They wanted to collaborate 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 collaborate.”

“You’re right. Our AI direction mainly focuses on healthcare. Your company’s healthcare AI system seems impressive. We could collaborate deeply on that.”

“To be honest, our company’s upcoming 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 llaborate, not to lay their cards on

the table.

“Oh, by the way, a friend of mine is coming over today. His company is also quite good. Why don’t we meet? There might be an opportunity for collaboration,” Frank suggested.

Sylvia and Juliet exchanged a glance. 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 accompanying Cyril. When he saw Sylvia, he seemed uneasy, avoiding eye contact with her.

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

“He’s my friend,” Frank said, unaware of the relationship 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 collaboration 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 glanced between Cyril and Sylvia, noticing Cyril’s intense gaze fixed on Sylvia, as if he couldn’t look away.
