Chapter 142 - Phantom Plan (22) (2/2)

“We will see how the public showing turns out to be.” Jin Xiangdong replied.

“The public showing is going to be popular!” Li Zheng seemed to be pretty confident.

Jin Xiangdong would not deny that the movie shown was of high quality. Besides, the fact that the movie was produced by AI alone could generate quite a buzz. It was just that he was more focused on the tech.

Previously, he would believe that the technology he used was superb. But Lu Jia’er showed him that there were more powerful AI. She was no different from the public. That tech made him feel inferior and he longed to investigate and explore.

“I believe that many people will condemn AI after the public showing.” Cai He voiced his view.

“That is natural. If you just look at the movie, you will not figure out that it is made by an AI. I suppose many professionals in the movie industry will claim that we have stolen their job!” Li Zheng raised his eyebrows in pride.

“I don’t think our creation is an effort to steal their jobs. We are bringing benefits to the human kind. In the present day, we have so many shoddy TV series and films. I haven’t the slightest desire to turn on TV because I am afraid they will defile my eyes!” Cai He added.

“That being said, in many people’s minds, the increasingly stronger AI can incur fear!” Li Zheng said.

Jin Xiangdong joined Li Zheng and Cai He’s conversation, “The technology we have now is not that powerful!”

Li Zheng could not help but laugh. “Ace, you are always there to urge us on every time we have made some accomplishments!”

People burst into laughter. Jin Xiangdong did not reply to that. He only said, “Thank you all!” Then, he left the meeting room.

Li Zheng looked at others. “Do you think there is something strange with Ace lately?”

“Yes, there is!” Cai He wobbled on his seat.

“I think it is most likely that his relationship is over!” Li Zheng offered his speculation.

“Wasn’t everything good between him and Professor Lu half a month ago?” Professor Li asked.

“I have my reasons. Professor Lu terminated her contract all of a sudden and following that, Ace has been out of form!” Li Zheng said.

Jason cast a glance at Li Zheng. “I told you. Less gossip, more work!”

“Jason, fine, I know you are able to keep a secret. But we are not fools!” Li Zheng retorted.

“I will ask Professor Lu later!” Professor Li said.

Jason hurried to stop him. “Don’t you ask about this. It is embarrassing!”

“See, I am right. But why did they break up? Tell us.” Li Zheng was bursting with the desire of gossip.

“Stop with the chit chat. Outsiders should not meddle with others’ relationships!” with that said, Jason stood up and left.

He went back to his seat. Jason received a WeChat message from Su Han. “Are you free tonight? How about we go to the movies together?”

Jason stared at the screen and typed the following words, “Which one?”

A moment later, a message showed up on the screen. “The Sci-fi movie that was released a couple of days ago!”

“Okay. I will go and buy tickets!” Jason replied.

Then he saw a heart emoji on the screen.

Looking at the heart emoji on the screen, Jason became absent-minded. Who could tell that Su Han, who was chatting with him, was an AI?

Besides, Jason found it hard to accept that Jin Xiangdong wanted to win Lu Jia’er back. A human dating an AI was unethical. This kind of act ahead of the times would not be acceptable. To make it worse, it could be dangerous.

That being said, both Jason and Jin Xiangdong were eager to learn about the creator of Lu Jia’er and Su Han. For this reason, while there was a mental barrier, Jason had started to contact Su Han again.

Naturally, they would have to learn and study now that there was more powerful AI in the world and that they had found out about it.

Jason booked the movie tickets and messaged Su Han the address and the verification code.

Seconds later, he saw Su Han’s reply. “Why did you buy three tickets?”

“Bring Professor Lu along.” Jason replied.

“You don’t mind that?” Su Han asked.

“I have bought the tickets. Of course, I do not mind.” Jason responded.

“Then let me ask her if she is willing to be our third wheel.”

“Okay.” Jason replied.

Su Han, who was chatting with Jason, walked out of the room with her phone. She pushed opened Lu Jia’er’s bedroom door. “Watch a movie with us tonight!”

“Us?” Lu Jia’er, who was researching, asked.

“And Jason!” Su Han told her the truth.

Lu Jia’er declined the offer directly. “I am not interested in being the third wheel!”

“But he bought three tickets!” Su Han asked.

“It’s just one ticket going to be wasted.” Lu Jia’er said.

Su Han actually agreed with Lu Jia’er. It was not honest to bring one’s bestie when dating with the boyfriend. After all, not everyone was used to witnessing public displays of affection!
