Since her car was still not repaired, Lu Jia’er could only travel around by taxi these days. Today’s destination was the BUA Building within the City B Science Park.
The BUA Building was a high-rise with an advanced cultural concept. It was not only the headquarters of BUA Technology, but also a new landmark in City B.
Lu Jia’er occasionally passed this area though she never bothered entering. Today was the first time she walked into the building. From the moment she entered the gate, she felt like entering a new world. It was very different from her university teaching environment. High-tech cultural concepts all jumped into her sight.
Lu Jia’er sent a WeChat message to Jin Xiangdong as she was approaching the reception desk. “Ace, I’m here!”
After a few seconds, she received a reply from Jin Xiangdong. “Let the front desk arrange a receptionist to bring you up!”
The beautiful girl at the front desk learned that the visitor was Lu Jia’er, she immediately arranged a lovely robot as a guide to show Lu Jia’er around.
“Madam, please!” the robot said facing Lu Jia’er.
Lu Jia’er, who had gotten along with Amy in the past few days, became well accustomed to facing a robot. Then she followed the robot toward Jin Xiangdong’s office.
In the elevator, the robot gave a brief introduction to the technology and culture of BUA. Lu Jia’er further understood the functions of R&D, operation and innovation in this building.
The elevator went up floor after floor. It finally stopped at the 56th floor and the elevator door slowly opened.
Jin Xiangdong entered her line of sight wearing a white shirt and a pair of black suit trousers, clean and decent.
As Jin Xiangdong saw Lu Jia’er in a light blue dress, his eyes became brighter, and he felt as though her appearance was similar to that of a mermaid. Smiling at her, he said, “Professor Lu, welcome to BUA!”
Lu Jia’er again felt that she was being treated dearly by Jin Xiangdong, as he had come to receive her in person. Afterward, she left the elevator with the robot. “Sorry I kept you waiting!”
“You came just in time. Please!” said Jin Xiangdong with a faint smile.
The robot left automatically, and Lu Jia’er followed Jin Xiangdong toward the office. On the way, many people cast their gaze on her.
Lu Jia’er’s swept the area with her eyes. This was the office section for senior management of BUA but it had been designed to be open-plan. The top managers were men exclusively. They all examined Lu Jia’er with their eyes out of curiosity.
Lu Jia’er had talked with Jin Xiangdong in the office for about half an hour before she signed a confidentiality agreement.
After signing the agreement, Lu Jia’er put down the pen and stared at Jin Xiangdong with her hand reaching out. “Mr. Jin, I appreciate your support and consideration in the future!”
He gently held her hand and corrected. “You can call me Chief Engineer at work. After work, call me Ace as usual!”
Chief Engineer, Principal Engineer! As Lu Jia’er heard this title, Lord and Master Top[1.The two expressions share the same pronunciation in Chinese.] suddenly occurred to her. Lu Jia’er was not a Fujoshi but Yaoi was well received nowadays, especially among young female students. She already knew a good deal about it as she communicated with them.
As it turned out, he was a true Lord and Master Top. Jin Xiangdong had arranged a small meeting for Lu Jia’er.
BUA’s AI project’s R&D team consisted of 9 members including Lu Jia’er, who was the only woman. Lu Jia’er felt that she had entered the territory of men.
Regardless of their shapes, they all wore white shirts and black suit trousers. Their style was similar to that of Jin Xiangdong. An ordinary person might find it difficult to tell them apart from one another, but Lu Jia’er had instantly remembered each one by listening to the inner voices of each individual.
“Ace’s luck has finally asserted itself. What a beautiful female professor he managed to recruit!” a man, a little over 30, sighed on his mind.
Lu Jia’er knew that he was Jason, Deputy Program Manager of the R&D team.
The man seated to the right side of Jason looked at him with a glance and uttered an overlapping sound, “Yes, it has. Our team is no longer a bachelor group!”
