Seeing Guan Ju really begin to barbecue, Li Lian revealed a satisfied smile. She looked at the shareholders beside her and started talking about the F Corporation’s recent developments and projects.

“Ah Hai, I heard that you guys made a new technological breakthrough in the field of AI?”

After being called out by Li Lian, the shareholder named Zhang Hai immediately smiled and nodded.

“Yes, we have just made a technological breakthrough. Our research on AI models has broken through the limitations of mechanized models and we’re working toward the creation of anthropomorphic models, but…”

At this point, Zhang Hai frowned slightly, as if he had been placed in a difficult position.

Li Lian looked at him in confusion.

“But what?”

“We have encountered some technical difficulties,” Zhang Hai simply spoke truthfully. “When we were developing the anthropomorphic models’ skin, we couldn’t find the right alloy material to use.”

Hearing this, Li Lian was also a little worried.

This high-tech project was one of the two projects she was in charge of in F Corporation, and it was also the one she had invested the most money into. If this project’s research was successful, she would be able to recoup her capital within a short period of time and therefrom make huge profits.

How did the project get stuck on the key alloy materials?

“Is there any forthcoming solution?” Li Lian asked.

Zhang Hai shook his head and said bitterly, “We’re still researching our options. We’re looking for iron-nickel alloy.”

Iron-nickel alloy.

Hearing this term, Li Lian felt even more troubled.

Zhang Hai had uttered a series of unfamiliar words, which confused her even more.

At this moment, Guan Ju, who was not far away, interjected.

“If you’re using alloy materials to create the anthropomorphic models’ skin, it doesn’t have to be iron-nickel alloy. You can also use zinc plating.”

Zinc plating?

Zhang Hai’s pupils suddenly constricted, and he turned to look at her.

“Mrs. Luo, using zinc plating to replace iron-nickel alloy in creating anthropomorphic skin is a method exclusive to that big shot.”

Guan Ju nodded.

“You’re talking about Mo Ran, right?”

“Yes.” Zhang Hai sighed lightly. “Mo Ran is the top expert in the field of AI. The majority of the core and most advanced technologies are in his hands.”

This was especially true regarding the alloy problem that had stumped them. This conundrum had long been solved by Mo Ran.

Compared to Mo Ran, the progress of their own research was simply infuriating.

“Just collaborate with Mo Ran and your problem will be solved,” Guan Ju added.

In any case, although this project was Li Lian’s responsibility, F Corporation would still make a profit. In the end, the final profits would be split in a 70 to 30 ratio, with the larger portion still going to Luo Han.

As such, she was willing to help him.

Hearing her light-hearted words, Li Lian snorted coldly. “He’s a big shot in the industry. Do you think it’s so easy to get him to collaborate with us?”

Mo Ran had developed his own technology and did not cooperate with any corporation. He had the Mo family behind him, and possessed sufficient funds and strength to conduct his research. He basically owned the entire industry. Asking him to collaborate with them was equivalent to asking him to give away part of his own cake to someone else.

How could he agree to something like that?

Bai Wen, who was standing to the side, seized the opportunity and mocked her, “Everyone, don’t blame her. She’s unaware of the situation either. Her horizons are not wide enough, so she will sometimes say such foolish things.”

“Peng.” A knife was stabbed heavily into the table in front of Bai Wen.

Guan Ju’s hand was strong and half the knife had sunk into the table. The cold gleam of the knife seemed to flicker, which frightened Bai Wen, causing her to shiver.

This violent woman!

She silently shrunk back and did not dare to say anything further.

Seeing that Bai Wen had become obedient, Guan Ju then coldly glanced at the people around her.

“If I said that if I could get him to collaborate, then I can definitely do it. I’m not joking.”

Li Lian’s face darkened. “Nonsense. You can get Mo Ran to collaborate with us? Who would believe such a lie?”

Guan Ju was about to retort when a large hand grabbed her hand.

It was Luo Han.

He looked at Li Lian and spat out two words.

“I believe her.”
