Xu Jia slowly put down her phone, her expression suddenly turned blank. After a long while, she reluctantly looked at her medical health robot, Big White.
"Jiajia, what’s wrong?" A roommate noticed that something was off with Xu Jia and quickly approached her.
"I’m currently scanning the health status of my owner. I detect a decrease in dopamine secretion and a depressive emotional state. Friendly reminder from Big White: You can do what you like to cheer up. Keeping a happy mood is essential for good health."
Big White’s voice suddenly chimed in.
Then Big White opened its arms and gave its owner, Xu Jia, a big hug.
"Wow, Big White is so warm!"
Seeing this, the roommates were all envy. They wished they could also be hugged by Big White .
However, Big White’s programming only allows it to behave towards its owner. Unless you own a Big White medical health robot, you wouldn’t get to enjoy this treatment.
"Thank you, Big White. Big White, go give my roommates a hug too, heeheehee." After getting a hug from Big White, Xu Jia’s mood seemed to improve slightly.
Hearing her roommates say they also wanted a hug from Big White, Xu Jia commanded her medical health robot to go and give her roommates a hug.
Big White, adorable and naive, turned around and walked towards Xu Jia’s roommates.
"Ladies, I’ve encountered a difficult decision. Can you give me some advice?"
Xu Jia decided to listen to her roommates’ opinions, as she had a great relationship with them.
"What’s up?" A curious roommate asked.
"I have been advertising with the Rentang Medical Technology Group lately. Just now, President Xu of Rentang Medical Technology Group called me, wanting to buy my medical health robot, Big White."
Xu Jia shared the situation with her roommates and added: "President Xu also said that if I’m unwilling to sell, Rentang Medical Technology Group would basically no longer collaborate with me on advertising in the future."
"What?" One of the roommates was very surprised upon hearing this.
"Jiajia, this...this is forcing you to sell, right? Currently, all your ad collaborations are with Rentang Medical Technology Group, you rejected all other advertisers."
"Jiajia, how much is President Xu offering?"
"One million." Xu Jia answered.
"My god, one million!" A roommate couldn’t help but exclaim after hearing the price.
One million was an astronomical figure for ordinary students.
"But Jiajia must be very reluctant to sell Big White. After all, Big White has been with us for so long, it would be too bad if it was sold." A roommate made an emotional argument.
"But that’s one million! And if she doesn’t sell, Jiajia won’t be able to continue advertising with Rentang Medical Technology Group."
"Hmph, it’s not a big deal to not advertise with Rentang Medical Technology Group. We can find other advertisers."
"Exactly, I’ve never really liked Rentang Medical Technology Group anyway. You must have heard of the controversies they were involved in before."
"Indeed, if it weren’t for the hefty fee, I would’ve suggested that Jiajia stop taking Rentang Medical Technology Group’s ads."
In just a few sentences, the roommates just made Xu Jia even more indecisive.
"I feel like Rentang Medical Technology Group was setting a trap for Jiajia right from the start when they asked her to advertise."
Suddenly, a roommate started formulating a conspiracy theory.
However, this conspiracy theory actually seemed quite logical and believable, intriguing the roommates: "Explain?"
"Think about it. Rentang Medical Technology Group started by giving Jiajia such a high advertising fee, running an ad almost every few days. Now they tell her that if she doesn’t sell Big White to them, they will stop giving her ads. Isn’t it obvious?"
The roommate who suggested the theory explained.
"Yes, exactly, I feel the same."
"That Rentang Medical Technology Group is such a bad company, isn’t it?"
"So what should we do? It’s one million. Jiajia, maybe you should sell?"
"If she sold Big White, Jiajia would definitely regret it."
Some of the roommates supported Xu Jia selling Big White, after all, Rentang Medical Technology Group had offered one million.
Some roommates did not, because Xu Jia had formed an attachment to Big White, and they felt that the tactics used by Rentang Medical Technology Group were downright despicable.
After hearing her roommates’ opinions, Xu Jia was still struggling with the decision.
After a long period of hesitation, Xu Jia picked up her phone and spotted Wen Ruohan, the secretary of Principal Ding of Mist City Arts and Science University, whom she hadn’t texted in a while.
"Should I ask Xiao Wen for her opinion?"
Since Xu Jia found making a decision to be so difficult, she decided to seek advice from Wen Ruohan.
After all, her medical health robot, Big White, was initially a gift from Mist City Arts and Science University.
