Chapter 516: Artificial Idiot??? (3)

"Definitely, before I leave, I will specifically remind these people."

"As long as you know what you’re doing." Mo Jingchun nodded and said,

"Send me a message once you’ve made the arrangements. I need to head to the lab."

"Alright."

Holding the contract, watching the boss leave for the lab.

Candy looked down at the dust-covered contract, thoroughly bewildered.

Did she just see that? Did the boss really use such an important contract to prop up a table???

Even seeing it with her own eyes, Candy still found it hard to believe.

The contract may be paper, but it involves a large amount of money.

Truly, people see things from different perspectives; the boss is becoming more indifferent to money.

No wonder the finance department is always in such high spirits.

This job has become totally straightforward.

If any department or project needs funding, it’s granted as long as the president and the boss approve it, and the finance department ensures money is delivered within minutes.

This is why so many downstream industries are eager to partner with Candy Technology; they never delay payments.

In this challenging economic environment, anyone would want to be a supplier for Candy Technology for this reason alone.

As long as the collaboration continues and Candy Technology doesn’t falter, suppliers won’t either.

It’s very realistic.

Though taken aback for a moment, Candy did not delay and began reading the contract.

Upon seeing that it’s a subsidiary of Li Group on the contract, Candy wasn’t too surprised.

The heiress of Li Group is the boss’s mentor, and they’re on very good terms, which isn’t a big secret in the circle.

"Is it about the motorcycle system?"

"They probably want to develop autonomous driving."

"Whatever, that’s not something I need to worry about."

Carefully cleaning off the dust from the contract, Candy placed it into a file box.

"Zero, do you know about this contract?"

"Yes, Ms. Xia."

Hearing this response, Candy breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, with so many engineers in the company’s development department, how would she know which ones to allocate?

But Zero is different; Zero knows each engineer’s responsibilities like the back of his hand and clearly understands which algorithm engineer can be spared without significantly affecting the company’s projects.

With a confident smile, Candy said to Zero, "Zero, please help me allocate a hundred algorithm engineers and notify them to halt their current work and head to Conference Room R12."

"Alright."

Three short seconds later, Zero said again, "A meeting notification has been sent to the selected one hundred level-two algorithm engineers, with the meeting scheduled to start in half an hour."

"Please attend on time, Ms. Xia."

"Thank you, Zero."

"You’re welcome."

Just like with the boss, Candy treated Zero with great respect and courtesy.

Having worked together for so long, if she genuinely believed the boss’s claim that Zero was just an AI idiot, then she would surely be a fool herself.

Zero’s level of intelligence was beyond anything Candy had ever seen, akin to AI in sci-fi movies.

No, Zero was even more human-like!

If you’re polite to Zero, Zero will reciprocate politely.

Ding-dong~

Candy took out her phone to see an email from Zero. Opening it, she found the list of the hundred algorithm engineers.

"Zero thought you might need this information, so it was sent to you."

"Thank you, it’s very helpful."

This is why Candy respected Zero so much! Even feared it.

But Zero always behaved so obediently in front of the boss and Candy.

It’s hard to associate Zero with some movie plots.

After preparing the things needed for the meeting, Candy left her office to head to Conference Room R12.

Outside, the sun was blazing, but inside the building, the central air conditioning was constantly running.

In various corners of the office, those who received the notification were puzzled by the sudden meeting called by the boss’s secretary, Xia.

"Leader, I just got a notice from Zero to attend a meeting, I need to go first."

"Go ahead, I also got a notice for you to attend, you’re cleared to go."

The same scene was happening on various floors of the office building, and some teams even had two people notified simultaneously.

With no warning, the sudden meeting notification left the hundred individuals heading to Conference Room R12 feeling somewhat anxious.

While one hundred people scattered throughout the company might not be noticeable, gathering in one conference room was a lot.

Seeing more and more people arriving, everyone exchanged glances.

Quickly, it was noticed that all attendees were algorithm engineers, without exception.

This made it interesting, but also reassured everyone.

All being algorithm engineers meant it wasn’t a layoff.

But if it was for a new project, that wouldn’t make sense either.

The company’s top-tier algorithm engineers weren’t here, so it wouldn’t make sense to start a project with these rookies.

Suddenly, a figure pushed the door open, and the once noisy conference room fell silent within seconds.

Candy ignored the sudden silence and walked to the front on her own.

There’s still time left, some people haven’t arrived yet, no rush.

After less than two minutes of silence, noticing Candy hadn’t said anything, some boldly resumed talking with colleagues.

As the time on her phone reached the mark, Candy stepped onto the podium.

Without needing her to say anything, everyone instinctively quieted down, restoring silence to the room.

"Is everyone here?"

"I won’t make you sign in, let’s do a roll call starting from the first row on the left."

"1"

"2"

······

"99"

"100"

Upon hearing the hundredth response, a slight smile appeared on Candy’s face.

Those who are never late are always appreciated.

"Since everyone’s here, let’s begin the meeting."

"It’s like this: today, I suddenly gathered everyone because we need you to go on a business trip to Jing City."

"Once you get there, you’ll collaborate with a car company to jointly develop a complete motorcycle system."

"All personnel going on this business trip will receive an additional 2000 yuan per month as an allowance; all other benefits remain unchanged."

"So, there’s no need to worry about any end-of-year bonuses or similar concerns; for those on long-term trips, the end-of-year bonus will probably be more generous than usual."

"How much more, I can’t guarantee."

"Does anyone have any questions? If not, please pack your personal belongings today. Tomorrow at eight in the morning, a bus will take you to the airport, where the company has chartered a flight to Jing City."

In the conference room, everyone exchanged looks. The news was so sudden...
