451: Unusual smell

In the spacious office, several people stood casually.

Understanding that Su Yue would certainly not budge, Yu Qing came before Wang Ye with an awkward smile.

"President Wang, there is a profit connection between us. How about I buy the copyright usage rights from you? What do you think..."

Without the copyright, Yu Qing could not use the robots they manufactured.

Originally, Yu Qing thought that if he offered a sum of money, Wang Ye would comply.

However, he did not expect Wang Ye to have completely become Su Yue's person.

Wang Ye came before Su Yue, his face serious: "General Manager Su, do you think we should release the copyright?"

Su Yue looked at him, subtly sensing his interest, and shrugged nonchalantly: "We are just investors, not responsible for operations."

Whether they agreed or not was their internal issue; Su Yue had no reason to join the discussion.

Wang Ye originally wanted to press further, but who knew Su Yue had returned to his desk, completely unwilling to answer his question.

Just then, Yu Qing walked beside Wang Ye and reminded him again: "I have quite a few hotel resources in my hands."

The ultimate destination for robots was hotels. He felt that by offering such bait, Wang Ye would definitely be tempted.

However, he did not expect Wang Ye to shake his head: "Sorry, I am not willing to let you use my copyright."

Yu Qing looked at Wang Ye with surprise, completely not expecting Wang Ye to resist his monetary temptation.

Yu Qing was about to continue persuading Wang Ye when, unexpectedly, Su Yue walked up to Yu Qing: "Do you take me for non-existent?"

Trying to poach his people on Su Yue's territory was somewhat excessive.

Yu Qing watched as Su Yue came before him, his face turning extremely pale.

He did not dare to cause trouble for Su Yue here, only pointing at Su Yue's location: "You are impressive, we'll see."

As he just reached the office door, Su Yue's voice came from behind, reaching his ears.

"You no longer have the robot usage rights. I require you to return all the robots by tomorrow."

Hearing Su Yue's implicit intent to cut off all possibilities, Yu Qing turned back, gave the two a deep look, and left.

As soon as the person left, Wang Ye quickly came before Su Yue: "General Manager Su, aren't we being too excessive?"

In his opinion, Yu Qing did not place the robots in the hotel for no reason; he had paid a considerable fee.

Su Yue looked at Wang Ye's subtle hint of hesitation and sneered: "Yu Qing could potentially impact us in the future."

The most outstanding feature of the three hotels under Far View (Yuantu) Investment was the robots; many people came specifically for the robots.

Once other hotels had the same service, many people would choose hotels with lower prices.

At that time, the hotels under Far View (Yuantu) Investment might collapse.

Of course, Su Yue could not control Wang Ye's thoughts, as the factory where he worked had always been operated by him.

After listening to Su Yue's lengthy explanation, Wang Ye scratched his head: "Although I don't understand the specifics, I will listen to you."

In his eyes, Far View (Yuantu) Investment was his benefactor, and no one could possibly act against their own benefactor out of thin air.

In just a few seconds, Wang Ye seemed to remember something, pointing outside: "If there's nothing else, I'll be going."

The Virtual Industrial Park had not yet been completed, and he had no desire to stay outside all the time.

Su Yue shrugged nonchalantly and watched Wang Ye leave the office.

As all projects were being prepared intensely, Su Yue unexpectedly found himself with a period of free time.

He went to Lan Zijun's office alone, a smile on his face: "Have time to go see them at the hospital?"

The reputation of Digital Future City relied entirely on the person in the hospital. They could not ruin the whole situation over some minor issues.

Hearing that Su Yue wanted her to accompany him to the hospital, Lan Zijun checked the time on her phone: "I'll go with you for a walk."

Now, Lan Zijun could represent Far View (Yuantu) Investment, while Su Yue could represent Digital Future City.

Soon, the two of them were sitting in the car.

Su Yue glanced in the rearview mirror and chuckled: "See if any reporters are available? We need... some candid shots."

Although he did not say it explicitly, Lan Zijun understood and laughed heartily: "No wonder others can't outplay you."

If a large number of reporters suddenly appeared at the hospital, outsiders would definitely think the reporters had received information in advance.

But if their photos were taken candidly, outsiders would have no right to speak.

Online public opinion was very important to Far View (Yuantu) Investment; they had to control the rhythm of the netizens.

In just half an hour, Su Yue brought Lan Zijun to the entrance of the hospital.

At this time, several reporters were lying in the grass, perfectly capturing photos of the two of them.

Through the reporters' news embellishment, Far View (Yuantu) Investment and Digital Future City were portrayed as responsible positive images.

Since they had already paid a considerable amount of money last time, the patient's family did not ask for compensation this time.

Su Yue and Lan Zijun stayed in the hospital for half an hour, then found an excuse to leave.

Before they could even get into the car, Su Yue's phone in his pocket rang.

He looked at the number on the screen, his brows slightly furrowed: "What does Liu Long want with me?"

In his opinion, Far View (Yuantu) Investment's recent focus should be on the virtual industry chain, and they should not be concerned with the hotel's operating status at all.

Now that Liu Long had called him proactively, it was clear that there was a minor issue with the hotel.

Seeing that Su Yue was hesitant to answer the phone, Lan Zijun got into the car first.

Although they were in the same company, Lan Zijun knew that Su Yue was hiding some things from her.

Su Yue watched Lan Zijun obediently get into the car and sat in the driver's seat with a helpless expression.

Regardless, she was the Boss of Far View (Yuantu) Investment, and Su Yue had no reason to hide things from her.

He slid open his phone and glanced at Lan Zijun in the back: "General Manager Liu, what can I do for you?"

Liu Long sensed that Su Yue was being a little distant this time, understanding that Su Yue might not be convenient to talk.

In just a few seconds, Liu Long's tentative voice came through: "Is Yu Qing with you?"

Su Yue subconsciously glanced at Lan Zijun and shook his head repeatedly: "Yu Qing has already left. President Lan and I are at the hospital visiting a patient."

When Liu Long learned that Su Yue and Lan Zijun were together, he quickly said: "Don't misunderstand, I thought Yu Qing was there."

Lan Zijun looked at Su Yue with a speechless expression and took the phone: "What do you need? Just say it."

Their time was precious, and there was no reason to stay here any longer.

Liu Long heard the impatience in Lan Zijun's words and quickly said: "We accidentally found out that Yu Qing owns a hotel."

Back when Yu Qing worked at their hotel, he learned a lot.

Now that he had left the hotel, he used his savings to open a new hotel.

When Su Yue learned that Yu Qing had opened a hotel outside, he slightly furrowed his brows: "He also needs to make a living, is there a problem?"

In his eyes, although Yu Qing had left their hotel, he had the right to do any work he believed was right, as they no longer had a superior-subordinate relationship.

Liu Long took a deep breath and continued: "I saw our same model of robot in their hotel."

Before Su Yue could say anything, Liu Long's voice came again: "Yes, it's not the robot we have the patent for."

This time, Su Yue began to feel nervous and glanced in Lan Zijun's direction: "It seems we need to go take a look."

Lan Zijun nodded slightly: "I won't go. You handle this matter."

As the Boss of Far View (Yuantu) Investment, she felt she had no reason to manage project matters.

Otherwise, if outsiders photographed her, they would definitely make a big deal out of it, thinking that Far View (Yuantu) Investment had a new direction.

Su Yue looked at Lan Zijun once again shifting the responsibility onto him and agreed with a speechless expression.

In just half an hour, Su Yue drove the car to the Far View (Yuantu) Investment building and dropped off Lan Zijun.

Su Yue then drove the car to the entrance of Muxin Hotel, wanting to quickly understand the information about that hotel.

Just then, Liu Long happened to come out, and the two met face to face.

Su Yue looked at Liu Long with surprise: "Where are you going? Do you have the hotel's information?"

Hearing that Su Yue needed the hotel's information, Liu Long quickly transferred the information from his phone to Su Yue's phone.

Since that hotel did not allow them to view the code on the robots, they had no idea who the robot manufacturer was.

Su Yue was unwilling to waste time, took his phone, returned to the car, and opened all the files.

In just a few minutes, Su Yue read through all the information and took a deep breath: "The functions are actually the same."

In his eyes, if the robot's functions were exactly the same, there was a very high probability that the robot was a replica.

Suddenly, Su Yue seemed to think of something and called Wang Ye.

As he predicted, Wang Ye was helping them assemble equipment at the Virtual Industrial Park and was not focused on the robots at all.

Su Yue took a deep breath: "Start urging the robot dealers now and tell Yu Qing to return the robots as soon as possible."

Because his tone was very tense and urgent, Wang Ye quickly contacted those people.

As they expected, Yu Qing delayed for a whole night and only sent the robots to the factory the next day.

Su Yue knew that there were replicas of their robots in the hotel, so he immediately took Wang Ye back to the factory.

Wang Ye looked at Su Yue with surprise: "All the robots have been inspected by our workers, and they are all normal."

In his eyes, if the robots could operate normally, there should be no damage.

However, Su Yue was not asking him to check the robots' normal operation, but to see if the robots had been disassembled.

Although Wang Ye's thinking might not keep up with Su Yue's, his execution ability was top-notch.

In just one or two minutes, he carried a box to the robot, wanting to carefully inspect the parts on the robot.

Since he had personally overseen the assembly of all the parts, he could tell if there was even a slight problem with the robot.

However, before he could even take out his tools, his peripheral vision caught sight of damaged parts on the robot.

Wang Ye turned his body to face the robot and lightly tested the flexibility of the parts with his hand.

Instantly, he understood, his eyes widening sharply: "This... what exactly is going on?"

Su Yue watched as Wang Ye confirmed that the robot had been altered, taking a deep breath: "The robot... was disassembled?"

Wang Ye nodded repeatedly: "Yes, the parts on it are damaged. I believe someone has disassembled the parts on it."

If it weren't for the damaged parts on it, he might have overlooked it.

Upon learning that the robot had been disassembled, Su Yue pointed towards the robot: "See if your code has been stolen."

The code was written independently by Wang Ye alone. If someone copied it, he believed he could definitely tell.

However, Wang Ye smiled bitterly with helplessness: "If the code is changed even slightly, it becomes that person's original work."

At this point, Su Yue had basically concluded that the robots in Yu Qing's hotel were likely replicas.

However, they had no evidence at all, so there was no reason to accuse them of stealing their robots.

Just then, Su Yue's phone in his pocket rang again.

Su Yue subconsciously looked at the number and found that the call was from Lan Zijun.

He knew that Lan Zijun usually did not call him unless she genuinely needed his help.

To prevent others from knowing the content of the call, Su Yue took his phone and walked to the window.

Lan Zijun watched as Su Yue answered the call and pondered for a moment: "I'll send you some information, take a look."

Since she could not make a decision, she felt that she needed Su Yue to make the choice for her.

Su Yue agreed with a surprised expression and hung up the phone.

In just a few seconds, the file was sent to Su Yue's phone.

Su Yue looked at the file on his phone, his brows slightly furrowed: "Virtual Arcade?"

He had never expected that a Virtual Arcade was about to open recently, which meant this company was competing for their business.

Suddenly, Su Yue's gaze fell on the robots, and his mind already sensed danger.

Su Yue walked up to Wang Ye: "I want to ask how long it will take for the Virtual Industrial Park to open?"

When Wang Ye heard him ask about the Virtual Industrial Park, he pondered for a moment: "If I have enough time, it can be tomorrow."

Currently, he was just lacking the time to assemble the equipment.

As long as he had time to assemble the equipment, he believed it would not take more than two days to officially open.
