Chapter 68 - What’s The Patent Registration Number?

At noon, Lu Jia’er and Su Han appeared at the entrance of a very distinctive restaurant in B City. This restaurant was neither awarded a Michelin star nor a five-star hotel. But a reservation had to be made at least half a year in advance if you were to eat at this restaurant. But many people were still attracted to it by its reputation and the business was booming. The restaurant featured AI[ 1. AI means Artificial Intelligence.] employees. Only the boss was human.

It might be a dull idea of science and engineering male majors to face AI after work even though they had to deal with them at the company, and even more so to face AI when going out for dinner!

Lu Jia’er followed a well maintained robot waiter to a room called ‘Genesis’. At the door, the robot gently pushed it open and said to her, “Help yourselves, you two!”

Jason, who was already seated inside, saw Lu Jia’er and instantly waved at her. “Professor Lu!”

Lu Jia’er and Su Han stepped lightly into the room and Jason thoughtfully pulled out chairs for the two ladies. After sitting down, she realized she hadn’t seen Jin Xiangdong so Lu Jia’er couldn’t help but ask, “Ace hasn’t arrived yet?”

Jason heard the words and laughed and joked, “Professor Lu, one day apart seems like three years, doesn’t it?”

“Su Han, my roommate and alumni, a professional writer!” Instead of giving a direct reply, Lu Jia’er introduced Su Han next to her as her face turned pink.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Jason!” Jason stood up and reached out.

However, Su Han only lightly touched his hand and quickly retrieved it. “Me too!” said she calmly.

The three talked for a few minutes, then the room door opened again, and the tall figure of Jin Xiangdong appeared in the doorway.

“Ace, making these beautiful ladies wait for you at the table it is not what a gentleman should do!” Jason complained for the two girls.

“Sorry, traffic jam!” Jin Xiangdong said and walked to Lu Jia’er’s side, pulling out a chair and he sat directly beside her.

“We have just arrived!” This action made Lu Jia’er feel happy.

Jin Xiangdong turned around and looked at Lu Jia’er, and then focused his eyes on the face of Su Han. “I have finally seen Prince Charming!” Su Han said excitedly before he could speak.

Lu Jia’er had heard her words and she couldn’t help but looked askance at her. Was this person right here the one she had known as Su Han? Was she always cold and aloof before people?

“I’m flattered! You are Su Han, the roommate of Erer, aren’t you!” Jin Xiangdong was very calm.

Erer! When Jason and Su Han heard this form of address, they were dumbfounded while Lu Jia’er’s cheeks blushed.

“Erer? When did the two of you confirm the relationship?” Jason asked with surprise.

Jin Xiangdong didn’t give a reply to his question, but gave a concise warning, “It’s a patent owned by this individual. Any use by others is forbidden. There will be consequences to bear for any infringement!”

Jason was speechless and could not digest this information for a while. Was this person the one he had known as Ace? How fulsome!

“What’s the patent registration number?” Jason joked.

Jason expected that Jin Xiangdong couldn’t answer the question. However, he recited a sequence of numbers, “ZL20XXXXXXXXXX.1!”

The three people next to him were struck with astonishment, especially Lu Jia’er, who couldn’t believe it. Did he actually apply for a patent?

“You almost convinced me!” Jason laughed.

“Check it yourself!” Jin Xiangdong gave a concise reply calmly.
