The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 461 Will Robots Miss Little Fish? (Part 38)

"Can't you communicate? Why is that?" Chen Qing couldn't help but ask, suspecting that the girl might have experienced something like school bullying.

“The things taught in school are too simple; they can’t keep up with my thinking,” K011 said calmly.

Upon hearing this, not only Mr. Zhong and Chen Qing fell silent, but Wang Yinghui and Feng Yuhan, who were watching K011 on the screen, also fell silent.

No, where did K011 learn to be so arrogant? They should have already blocked most of those messy forums.

Lin Huanming was looking at the small machine writing an analysis when his phone rang. He had just typed "the wording is somewhat inappropriate" when the machine started writing the analysis.

Lin Huanming initially thought it was a call from his boss, but when he saw the unknown number displayed on his phone, he frowned.

After mentally reviewing the phone call from the person named Dai Miyin and confirming that it wasn't a different number, Lin Huanming pressed the answer button.

"Hello, who is this?" Lin Huanming answered the phone somewhat perfunctorily, because she still needed to remember K011's thought process.

"Um... Hello, is this Professor Lin?" A girl's voice came from the other end of the line. The girl's voice was tentative and seemed a little embarrassed. "I am Xiao Xunlan, um... from Development Department No. 2. You should know me."

"Xiao Xunlan?" Lin Huanming frowned and softly uttered the name. "Excuse me, may I ask who you are?"

The girl opposite Lin Huanming didn't seem to expect him to ask that question.

Lin Huanming could tell from the beginning that the girl lacked confidence, and now the girl named Xiao Xunlan was clearly even less confident than before.

"Are you from Development Department 2? Which professor is supervising you? Which project are you working on?" Lin Huanming asked again, thinking that one of her colleagues must have hit a roadblock and was asking her for some related questions.

“Well… I’m the project leader,” the young woman said. “And I do have a question I’d like to ask you, but it’s not related to my current project.”

Lin Huanming was silent for a moment, then said, "Wait a moment."

Then Lin Huanming covered the phone's receiver with his hand, turned to Feng Yuhan and Wang Yinghui, and asked, "Do you know Xiao Xunlan?"

Upon hearing the name, Feng Yuhan and Wang Yinghui both looked up at the same time.

Feng Yuhan usually interacts with her peers in the company and is very kind to younger colleagues. She quickly came up with the question Lin Huanming asked about: "Xiao Xunlan? I know her, she's a genius."

"Hmm? Genius... Now that you mention it, I remember her too. She graduated from university at 15 and was recruited by our company as soon as she turned 18." Wang Yinghui, reminded by Feng Yuhan, also realized who Xiao Xunlan was, the one Lin Huanming had asked about.

"Professor Lin, was that her who called you just now?" Feng Yuhan looked curiously at Lin Huanming's hand—she knew Xiao Xunlan; the two of them had lined up together for meals a few times.

Perhaps because she was a bit younger than the others in the company, Xiao Xunlan often spent time alone.

Lin Huanming gave a soft "hmm," confirming Feng Yuhan's question, and then said, "It seems like she wants to talk to me about something."

"You need to see Professor Lin? We research companion robots, and they... if I remember correctly, they develop software, right?" Wang responded that a friend of his worked in the group led by Xiao Xunlan. He had heard his friend say several times that their group leader was very young but quite easy to talk to.

Wang responded that his friend was a software developer. Although he didn't know exactly what his friend was developing, Wang was certain that the software was not in the same field as the group of people researching companion robots.
