Huo Zheng keenly noticed that his thoughts had been revolving around that young man whom he had just met for the first time, which made him feel extraordinarily weird, and also slightly uneasy.
Is it because He Yunzhou's Xiaojiabiyu style has never been tried before, so it feels novel
Otherwise, it would be really hard to explain how much he cared about that man.
Or maybe it was because of the fortified wine he drank before...
Thinking of this, Huo Zheng silently added a physical examination schedule to his afternoon schedule. On the other hand, in order to get himself back on the normal track, Huo Zheng quickly put himself back into his work.
"Stop talking nonsense. Li Yu, let's get down to business. The third batch of test results of the 'CALO' system has come out, please pass it on to me."
Li Yu was chattering before, but when he heard Huo Zheng's words, his voice fell silent instantly.
He scratched the back of his head, then nodded dryly.
"Yes, all the results are out."
The moment the voice fell, a gleam of light flashed, and the electronic report of the test results and the clear projection of all the charts appeared in front of Huo Zheng, as well as Li Yu sitting in the distant Huo Group building.
Huo Zheng glanced at Li Yu, who gave him a very ugly smile.
Compared with many of his peers, Huo Zheng's life trajectory is quite different - he is not the so-called rich second generation who can squander money at will, eat, drink and have fun, or go abroad to learn art, live a happy life in leisure and wealth .
The situation of the Huo family is special, Huo Zheng must have his own strength in order to ensure the continued operation of the Huo family no matter what. Of course, the many projects he has executed before have proved his ability. And what he is currently hosting is the most important project of the Huo Group - "CALO".
"CALO" can be called a full smart home system.
Although there have been many electronic life products on the market under the banner of smart home systems before "CALO", in Huo Zheng's view, those childish and clumsy voice-controlled electronic toys are completely different from the "CALO" he designed. Something of two concepts. "CALO" is not a simple foolish system that controls the lighting, air-conditioning and curtains. It itself constitutes the whole concept of "residence". Without any redundant actions or instructions, it will automatically analyze the owner's own physical condition and combine extremely complex data analysis to build the most comfortable and perfect living environment for him. The complicated and boring housework and cleaning work will be done by "CALO". It can be said that when a house is implanted with "CALO", all the needs of the owner of this house will be met without paying any extra Energy or labor.
The project itself is very operable, and has a very rich profit return, and the research and development and income of subsequent products are also very considerable. It is precisely because of this that even in the past few years, the research and development of the entire "CALO" project needs to "swallow" a terrible amount of funds every year, and the group still has great expectations and support for this project...
However…
"While a substantial improvement over previous results, this report did not meet our expectations."
Li Yu smiled wryly and said to Huo Zheng who was staring at the data and charts with a stern face.
What the two discussed was the actual use evaluation of "CALO" before it went on the market. The first evaluation was conducted two years ago, at that time they all thought that "CALO" would pass the evaluation soon and enter the market successfully.
But until today, two years later, when the results of the third test came out, Huo Zheng still didn't get the data he wanted.
His eyes quickly scanned the subjective ratings of the testers, both the short-term testers and the long-term testers gave the highest ratings for the actual use experience of "CALO".
“…the data collected by the physiological hormone testing equipment we installed under their skin is not optimistic.”
Li Yu said dryly.
"The human brain may deceive itself, but the body cannot."
Huo Zheng took his words and said.
Then he tapped on a certain data and brought it to the front.
"You call this situation 'not optimistic'?!"
Huo Zheng spoke to Li Yu with a strange calmness.
The series of hormonal changes in the data showed that all the people who used the "CALO" system entered a state close to mild depression at the end of the test. And the psychological status test they accepted later also proved this point.
Li Yu let out a long cry of despair, then he grabbed his hair and turned to Huo Zheng, with helplessness written all over his face: "Okay, change the preface, I think the result is terrible. The specific explanation is ——You and I are almost finished! Oh, yes, you may be okay, after all, you are the flesh and blood of the Huo family, but I think that after this project becomes obsolete, Mr. Huo may secretly arrest me and take me to Shentang...
Amidst the constant nagging of his friends, Huo Zheng continued to look at the various reports on "CALO", his brows furrowed more and more tightly.
"No one has figured out what the problem is? Theoretically speaking, 'calo' should be the most advanced and complete system on the market. How did this damn result come about?!"
Huo Zheng couldn't hold back, and cursed.
"Forehead… "
At this moment, Li Yu spoke hesitantly.
Huo Zheng raised his head suddenly and looked straight at him: "What do you want to say?!"
"I think..." In Huo Zheng's impression, there were always some heartless friends, and at this moment, he showed some embarrassing expressions, "Well, do you think that, that, the 'calo' system might be Is it too much of your style to be so depressing? You see, it’s hard, cold, and not popular at all—”
"Didn't you equip it with a humanized mode to solve this problem? Designer Li." Huo Zheng's expression darkened, "I think it is already popular enough, by the way, if I find you next time Tampering with calo's system mode in my house without authorization... you will regret it."
Li Yu rolled his eyes.
"Please, I'm just doing the last salvage measures for our project that is about to die! Fuck, I just hope that you, Huo Zheng, Mr. Huo, Boss Huo, you can be a little, that is a little..." Li Yu stretched out his hand, Huo Zheng gestured in front of the tiny gap between his index finger and thumb, "...you can become more human! I wanted to complain when I tried 'calo' before. God, when I was with it , as if living together with you. Not to mention happiness, the system is simply something that makes people feel depressed!"
Huo Zheng sneered.
"First, what you tried was only the initial model of 'calo', which indeed has too many deficiencies, but don't forget, those parts that make you feel uncomfortable have been changed by yourself. Second, I have already According to your bad idea, to live in this damned ghost place to experience the so-called "ordinary people's life", but it turns out that this has no effect. Thinking of the farce last night, I can only express regret All your proposals are as bad as ever—"
"Hey, Mr. Huo, to interrupt you, can you please take a look around yourself? You call this 'the life of ordinary people'? You just moved your snail shell from a seaside villa to an ordinary commercial housing complex. That's all. You've lived outside for so long now, I'm afraid you haven't even stepped into a real ordinary person's house!
Li Yu mercilessly made a sharp mockery.
Ordinary people's homes
Food, chubby cats, messy furniture, and the man's gentle eyes that seem to be dripping water... Fragmented images flashed through Huo Zheng's mind.
"Of course I have."
Huo Zheng responded straightforwardly.
"..."
Li Yu got stuck in an instant.
After he paused for a moment, he looked at Huo Zheng suspiciously: "You are lying, right?"
Huo Zheng had already found his own rhythm at this time. He briefly described to Li Yu the decoration and atmosphere of He Yunzhou's house in his memory, and used some language skills to make him sound really familiar. The living room that stayed only for a short moment.
"...Oh, yes, there are also cats." Huo Zheng pretended to be casual and said, "Everyone has cats in their homes."
Li Yu choked for a long while before opening his mouth quietly.
"You... haven't been cheated by someone?"
Huo Zheng turned around suddenly, and gave Li Yu a rather cold look.
"Unfortunately, I'm afraid I'm not as stupid as you think."
…
Hours had passed to finish the heady and rather bleak work.
Huo Zheng decisively shut down the entire communication system before Li Yu started talking nonsense again.
In an instant, the friend's holographic projection and layers of data maps disappeared in the air.
The room became extremely quiet and dead in an instant.
Huo Zheng sat still on the sofa for a moment, his high-speed brain fell into a long-lost blank.
After the test results of the CALO system came out, Huo Zheng could already foresee what kind of troubles he would face next, and although Li Yu acted foolishly, Huo Zheng could still keenly sense the frustration and hesitation that the other party couldn't hide.
[Peace of mind, happiness, warmth, the place where CALO is located is your most comfortable home.]
Huo Zheng called out the advertisement written by the marketing department when the CALO project was first put into research and development. He looked at the line quietly and sighed.
"Relief... Happiness..."
Huo Zheng repeated mutteringly.
He really doesn't understand, although "CALO" is already so perfect, but still can't bring people a sense of happiness
Just thinking of this, Huo Zheng involuntarily turned his thoughts to that young man with a gentle smile.
In that dilapidated little house, when eating the breakfast made by the other party... that feeling...
Huo Zheng moved his mind slightly, took out his phone and opened WeChat.
As mentioned before, his account was set up purely to meet his physical needs, so most of the "friends" added to it are also his bed partners.
Those people probably knew this too, so all the pictures and text displayed in Moments all exuded a strong atmosphere of invitation.
It is precisely because of this that among those circles of friends who are either straightforward or tactful, the content posted by the young men who just exchanged WeChat this morning is particularly conspicuous.
[A small boat shakes and shakes:
Eat well today too!
Beef.jpg Lamb.jpg Chicken breast.jpg
Mussels.jpg Tenderloin.jpg Chicken Drumstick.jpg
Egg.jpg Saury.jpg Lamb liver.jpg?]
In the dark brown and light brown muscular selfie, what He Yunzhou posted was a real picture of flesh.
Even though it was somewhat bloody, Huo Zheng couldn't help but click on each picture and look at it seriously.
"Pfft, really... Is this going to be a banquet for me?"
Seeing those carefully prepared rich meat products, Huo Zheng only felt that He Yunzhou was really silly and cute in this respect.
He has never met such a clumsy person before. He just made an appointment to have a meal in the morning. Those bed partners who are familiar with the routine and know the interest will choose their clothes carefully and wait for the "dinner" after dinner , but He Yunzhou would only foolishly show off fresh and rich ingredients in Moments.
This behavior was really tasteless, but Huo Zheng found that he liked it very much, and even his mood, which was extremely heavy before, suddenly became lighter.
