Chapter 73: Moonlit Manacles (1/2)

As his emotions calmed down, Xiao Yu took a cushion out from the cage to put under his butt. Then he used a stand to prop up the iPad so that he could continue to watch the broadcast comfortably.

This iPad model was known for being portable. Its size was very close to the Mini, but even so, it was still a bit too heavy for Xiao Yu. There was no way he could physically get the iPad up on his own. When Yan Jin realized this problem, he bought Xiao Yu an automatic stand. All Xiao Yu needed to do was press a button on the side and his iPad would be propped up, making it convenient for him to watch videos.

Actually, it should be noted that this kind of stand was industrial grade. It was not meant to be used to prop up an iPad at all. But for Chairman Yan, who had become an inventor just to make life easier for his beloved pet, this small detail was not worth mentioning.

As for the soft cushion… he could only say that Chairman Yan had been purchasing an increasing amount of toys =_=.

Because he was distracted by Chu Ge earlier, Xiao Yu missed a small segment of the broadcast. Right now, the reporter was already moving around inside the venue.

The venue opened at noon¹.

The crowd continuously poured into the venue, very quickly filling up the 150,000 square meter exhibition hall.

“Members of the audience, here we have the Autumn Release Conference’s biggest booth. This is the debut of the interchangeable exhibition booth style at the release conference. Only the corporations placing in the top three can use this booth as well as the large projection screen. Right now, City N’s RGL Corporation is being exhibited…”

Xiao Yu already knew about the interchangeable booth from his past life, so he didn’t feel like it was anything surprising. But right when the camera changed its angle, Xiao Yu saw an unexpected face.

Perhaps instead of unexpected, the more appropriate term to use might be bizarre – – because that was the face that Xiao Yu used to see every morning in the mirror during his past life.

Yes, Xiao Yu was looking at himself.

That feeling was abnormally strange and caused Xiao Yu to shudder.

In his past life, he worked extremely hard on SI’s Autumn Release Conference. Before the start of the exhibition, he was still verifying all sorts of matters up until the last minute. It was not unreasonable that he could have left a bit late, and was thus captured on camera as a result.

It was just that, since the human Xiao Yu had stayed in the venue the entire time, there was a possibility that Yan Jin would bump into the human Xiao Yu.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu felt a little guilty.

It wasn’t long before he felt that he was worrying over nothing. Yan Jin was not the type of person who would go and strike up a conversation with the designers from the rival corporation. In his past life, nothing out of the ordinary happened during this event. In this life, with all the precautions he took, it was even more unlikely for something unexpected to happen.

Not to mention, even if they did end up talking with one another, it was not like anything would come out of it.

As soon as Xiao Yu thought of Yan Jin, he heard a notification alert. He opened up his QQ to take a look, and as expected, the notification came from Chairman Yan.

[Grey-white SS]: What are you doing?

Xiao Yu almost sent out “just watching the Autumn Release Conference”, but luckily he remembered what Chu Ge had said earlier. In order to prevent Yan Jin from feeling too proud of himself, he purposefully skirted around the subject.

[Fishy]: Watching a video.

[Grey-white SS]: What video?

[Fishy]: Just a random one.

[Grey-white SS]: Where’s Chu Ge?

[Fishy]: He’s in his room, not sure what he’s doing. This morning he bullied me, hn.

[Grey-white SS]: Hmm? He went that far? I’ll help you scold him.

Yan Jin didn’t have any doubts over the truthfulness of Fishy’s words. He didn’t even ask Xiao Yu how he was bullied before simply clicking on Chu Ge’s avatar.

[Grey-white SS]: What are you doing?

[Chu Ge]: Don’t bother me, I’m watching the Autumn Release Conference.

[Grey-white SS]: Why are you watching it? Can you understand what is going on? lookingdownonyou.jpg

[Chu Ge]: Dammit. Whether I understand or not, what does it have to do with you? If Fishy can watch it, why can’t I?

[Grey-white SS]: Oh? So Fishy is watching the Autumn Release Conference…

Chairman Yan raised the corner of his mouth, feeling pleased.

[Chu Ge]: That’s right, you’ve only been gone for a few days and he’s been thinking of you. Do you feel moved? If you do, then quickly go stand in front of a camera so that we ordinary folks can feast our eyes on your image.

[Grey-white SS]: It won’t work. Everyone’s attention is captured by the mysterious designer’s work. Even if I were to go back right now, the cameras wouldn’t bother filming me.

[Chu Ge]: Go back? Where are you right now?

[Grey-white SS]: On my way to the airport.

[Chu Ge]: Huh? You’re already coming back? This is just the first day. You’re not planning to take charge of the upcoming few days?

[Grey-white SS]: Everything is accounted for. What reason do I need to stay?

[Chu Ge]: I’ll say, as the chairman, don’t you think you’re being careless with your responsibilities?

[Grey-white SS]: Hah, a chairman who has to do everything himself isn’t a good one. I believe in my subordinates’ abilities.

[Chu Ge]: Bullshit, which other chairman would leave on the first day of such an important event? Y-y-you … You miss Fishy don’t you?
