Chapter 122 - End of the Press Conference

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The robotic exoskeleton series with the smart prosthetic limbs as the main focus received very positive feedback. The subsequent alarm device also received a lot of anticipation.

After the products were introduced, everyone’s reactions were very enthusiastic. The main reason was that the principles behind the alarm device weren’t as complicated as that of the robotic prosthetics. Ignoring the overly specialized jargon, ordinary people who weren’t too familiar with the technology industry could also understand the principles behind how the alarm device worked.

More importantly, the final system of the alarm device was with the police. As long as the wearer was in danger, the alarm device would transmit the signal to the police’s terminal. The police would be able to speak to the victim directly and confirm the situation. If the victim wasn’t in a situation where they could give a reply, the police would also be able to quickly determine the victim’s location.

This time around, they did not give a live demonstration to the audience. Instead, they played the surveillance footage where the alarm device worked when Ding Chen was attacked in the company.

The surveillance camera angle could not clearly capture the true situation at that time. Fortunately, it was realistic enough for the audience to observe how powerful the alarm device was based on the people’s true reactions seen in the video.

The alarm device was a product that was a collaboration with the police. There would be the police and official media promoting it later on. Therefore, it was not the focus of this product launch. The purpose it was introduced here was just to show the media and potential partners of the company’s research and development capabilities.

Through these two products, everyone was convinced by this technology company that they had never heard of before. In just a few days, this company would be able to ride the wind and become famous worldwide.

The product launch ended successfully. The reporters surrounded Huo Tian and Bi Ying, wanting to dig up more news from these two young geniuses. Ding Chen, Old Zhu, and Si Huan were surrounded by representatives from various companies, all of whom wanted to schedule an appointment to discuss possible cooperation with them.

Huo Tian and Bi Ying managed to chase away those reporters with great difficulty and ran to the lounge. Ding Rong had been waiting for them here for a long time.

Ding Rong gave Huo Tian a big hug and kissed her cheeks and forehead excitedly. “Tiantian is so amazing. Mom is proud of you…”

After the mother-daughter pair cuddled for a while, Si Huan also came running back.

He picked up a call and beckoned to Huo Tian. “Huo Tian, we’re going to be late. Let’s go.”

Huo Tian was confused. “Huh? Where to?”

Si Huan smiled helplessly. “To attend the Si Family’s anniversary banquet with me. Have you forgotten?”

Ding Rong frowned. “Si Huan, what’s going on? I didn’t hear Tiantian say that she was going to attend the banquet with you.”

Si Huan looked at Huo Tian curiously. Huo Tian recalled that Si Huan had mentioned this matter in school before. She immediately looked at Ding Rong apologetically. “I’m sorry, Mom. I forgot to tell you.”

Ding Rong knew very well that her daughter was a muddlehead in her life and couldn’t get angry with her daughter, so she looked at Si Huan hesitantly. “Does Tiantian have to attend that banquet? I’m worried that she’ll meet those people from the Huo Family, and with Tiantian’s personality…”

“Auntie Ding, Huo Tian is indeed unaccustomed to socializing at banquets, but this isn’t a problem. She doesn’t need to be hypocritical and polite with those people.”

Si Huan first gave his assurance, then he deliberately put on a troubled expression. “Moreover, this is an important occasion. As the head of the Si Family, I need to have a female companion who can perform the opening dance with me. If Huo Tian doesn’t go, I’ll make a fool of myself.”

Although Ding Rong had never seen what kind of scene a ball held by a wealthy family was, she knew the basic principles of the world. The banquet was about to start, so it was clearly too late for Si Huan to change partners at the last minute. However, Ding Rong still had concerns. “But will Tiantian get into any trouble if she becomes your dance partner?”

Although her gaze was gentle, it carried an unrelenting questioning. Ding Rong could vaguely tell how Si Huan felt about Huo Tian, but she did not want the two of them to be labeled as lovers in the eyes of outsiders so early. This might meet Si Huan’s expectations, but it would not do Huo Tian any good.

Si Huan understood what Ding Rong meant. He smiled and said, “Auntie Ding, don’t worry. Today’s product launch will be reported very soon. As an important business partner, it’s reasonable for Huo Tian to attend the banquet with me. I won’t let Huo Tian be in any trouble.”

Huo Tian listened to them talking and didn’t know what they were talking about. She looked at the time and said unhappily, “Mom, Si Huan, how long are you guys going to be chatting for? Didn’t you say that the banquet is about to start? Why aren’t we leaving?”

Ding Rong poked Huo Tian’s forehead unhappily. “Silly girl, you won’t even know if you end up getting sold!”

Huo Tian felt aggrieved, but she didn’t dare to be as unbridled as she was in front of her uncle. She only dared to puff up her cheeks unhappily and make an angry pufferfish emoticon.

Si Huan smiled and then promised Ding Rong seriously, “Auntie Ding, I know you’re still worried that Huo Tian will meet those people from the Huo Family, but you don’t have to worry. The Huo Family won’t dare to do anything on my territory. I assure you that after the opening dance with Huo Tian, if she’s not interested in the banquet, I’ll get the driver to send her home.”

Since Si Huan had made such a promise, Ding Rong could only let Si Huan take her foolish daughter away..
