Chapter 48 - X-A.I. Corp

"This! This is unfair! Why should I get banned!? That fucking little girl cheated!" Han Mu wasn't going to let things end so quickly as he pointed and yelled at Shen Xia.

Shen Xia lifted her head and looked coldly at Han Mu. "Old man, you better stop now..." 

"You! What can you do to me…. Ahhh!" Han Mu found himself face first on the floor. Lilith was already restraining him with her knee on the back of his head. 

"Lilith!" Shen Xia yelled out. She did not want Lilith to get in trouble. 

"Hehe, don't worry, let her hold him down until security comes. For someone to think they can slander my future heir." Old Mo chuckled as he stepped forward. "I would like everyone here to know that third high school has not cheated. Nor have they outsourced to create this robot. It is an actual creation of his little girl and her team. Please do not make me say this again. Because if I find out anyone tries to slander them, I will be forced to ruin you." 

Old Mo's words caused a ripple through the crowd. For him to be threatening people like this meant that the little girl with the robot dog was a genius of their times. But one word did stun the crowd. 'Heir' This caused the reporters to go nuts. "Mr. Mo, what do you mean by heir!?"

"Yes, Mr. Mo, can you tell us your relationship with this young woman!?"

"Mr. Mo is she your illegitimate child!?" 

Old Mo frowned. He was about to say something when Old Yun suddenly stepped in. "If she is his illegitimate child, then what does that make her to me!? I have also decided to make her my heir as well. Are you saying the little girl was birthed between us two old men!?" 

"Pfft!" Shen Xia couldn't help but laugh, catching everyone's attention. Her smile was like a warm spring morning. Calming and soothing. The cameras quickly trained on her as she was just too captivating not to film. 

"Alright enough!" Old Mo couldn't take it anymore. "We are here for an exhibition! If you want interviews, then do your jobs properly. All these kids have worked hard! If not, get the fuck out of this hall and let these kids be judged fairly!" 

Old Mo's words were harsh, but it made everyone realize why they were here. The reporters really did not wish to interview the others after finding out such juicy gossip, but the fierce look coming from Old Mo made them shrink back and do what they should be doing.

With the crowd gone, Old Mo and Old Yun could finally hear Shen Xia.  "So lass, what do you say? We will sign everything over to you after the competition if you say yes." 

"Are you sure you are willing to sign both of your companies over to me? Because I won't give them back if you regret it afterwards..." Shen Xia was not going to pass up such a chance. She could get two major robotic companies under her name. She would be a fool not to take it! But these were still these old men's life works, so she wanted to make sure they were completely willing and wanted to offer more than just them watching her build robots.

"Yes, we both know what it means and would never ask for the companies back. Whether they live or die will be up to you." Old Mo replied with a smile. 

"Then I will accept but…. Instead of just watching me, I want the both of you to guide me as well. So if you two are willing to be my assistants, I would be very much grateful. I have no clue how to run companies, so I will need to learn a lot." This was what she meant by offering more. She wanted them to feel involved in the process and within their companies still even after they signed it over. They were both men who were at the top of their fields and ran their companies for many years. With their help, she could not only combine the two companies in one, but she could lay out the groundwork to create something never seen before in this world.

"Haha! I would be more than willing to help!" Old Mo was all smiles. This girl in front of them was trying to keep them involved so they would not have a sense of loss. 

"Me too! I will be more than happy to help as well." Old Yun was not going to be left behind!

"Then we will need two merge both companies together into a single entity. I was thinking of naming it X-A.I. Corp." Shen Xia had already thought of this name when she was working on Spot. She had already planned to make her own company. She looked up at the two old men with expectant eyes, hoping they thought the name was good. When she saw them smile and nodded their head in approval her lips curled up into a bright smile. On this day, the A.I. company that would revolutionize how humanity functioned had been created. 

As the exhibition came to an end, the results were as most would have expected. Third high school won by a landslide due to Spot, and second high school came in second. First high school was banned from the exhibition, and their principal was led out in cuffs.  There was no way the head science teacher was going to stick around, so they ended up leaving early.

But news traveled fast, and Shen Chen quickly heard about what happened at the exhibition. This made him lose all face but hearing about Shen Xia's robot made his brain begin to spin with plans. He had already made a call to those people to take care of her, but now he had to make a change of plans. He picked up his phone and made a call: "Change of plans, just kidnap her and use that new drug that just came over from the west. I will make her unable to live without it…." 

After he hung up he leaned back in his seat with a smile on his face. All the issues with the company would be easily handled once things fell into place. "Shen Xia oh Shen Xia you should have just stayed hidden. But I guess this works out.. Shen Corp will become the biggest company in the world soon thanks to that brain of yours."
