Master, I Need Charging - Chapter 18: Is There Something Wrong With Them?

The smile on Cheryl’s face turned a little rigid. “Hehe… I’m afraid that’s not possible, Ms. Shen. This robot model was personally customized according to Director Chen’s requests. She may not fully satisfy all your needs. RK still has many other models available, and they are all well-received products. You can choose one among them…”

Shen Xinran was not patient enough to listen to her as she waved her hand. “I don’t want any other model. The one I want is the one he is using.”

Yu Qinglan asked Cheryl, “Do you have more of the same model in the inventory?”

Cheryl’s smile became even more forced. “… Since it is a personally customized model, of course, there is only one.”

Yu Qinglan was caught in an awkward situation, but seeing Shen Xinran’s unhappiness, she couldn’t help but speak up to Cheryl, “But Xinran needs it urgently… He has such a big company with almost every kind of robot available. How about just letting his little sister have this one?”

… Let?

Do you think this is like a charging cable? Something that you can randomly give away and buy for yourself later?

Cheryl’s expression became even more subtle…

“Auntie Yu… This robot model, from the blueprints to the final product, was all personally created by Mr. Ace. He spent three months on it. It is definitely incomparable to those mainstream robots. You could say that this robot includes our company’s finest technology and craftsmanship… Moreover, it is still in its debugging process. If Ms. Shen likes it, how about waiting for a while? When the model is stabilized, the company will begin its mass production.”

Yu Qinglan was almost 50. She wasn’t clear about the new technology, and she didn’t know much about the craftsmanship and technology needed to build robots. Seeing how prudent Cheryl was, she hesitated for a moment before responding, “Things are made to be used by people. This model is just a little more expensive, that’s all… Xinran needs it urgently. Could you just follow what I said and pass on the message to him, if… if he really doesn’t agree to this…”

Yu Qinglan furrowed her eyebrows and let out a soft sigh before continuing, “Let’s just take it as us borrowing it from him… We will use it for a few days and make sure to return it to him.”

She said it as if she was taking a huge step back in this situation…

……

Cheryl didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It was the first time she had met someone who acted so righteous when they were the ones requesting something. However, she was ultimately their boss’s mother. Cheryl still agreed, politely and amiably in the end. “Don’t worry, I will definitely pass the message to the director without leaving out a single word,” she appeased.

Yu Qinglan nodded her hand, pleased. She turned to Shen Xinran and asked, “Let’s go. Don’t you still have a fitting session later?”

Shen Xinran’s expression was filled with gloominess as she nodded her head indignantly. Robot or whatnot… She actually didn’t care about any of that. She just wanted to see him, that’s all…

After sending off the two ladies respectfully, Cheryl held her mouth, trying to hold back her laughter as she walked back. Lu Lu, I am here to deliver some gossip!

It was a pity that Lu Lu wasn’t in the mood right now to gossip…

She was staring at her workspace, shivering, and her expression was miserable.

Cheryl patted her shoulder from behind. “What are you spacing out for!”

Lu Lu spoke in a sobbing tone, “The devil king gave all of us a…” She pointed at a pair of car-ear hair grips on the table.

Cheryl blinked, confused. “Eh?”

“He even said that we could touch them as much as we want! Wu wu wu wu…” Lu Lu wanted to cry!

Alan, who was sitting beside them, came over with a mischievous smile. Picking up the pair of cat ears from the table, he placed them on his head and swayed his head a little. “Lu Lu, this is a privilege! The devil king must have seen how hard you’ve been working overtime recently, and decided to reward you!”

“Give them back to me quickly!” Lu Lu stood up and tried to grab the hair clip on his head.

“Don’t be so petty, let me wear them!” Alan dodged her, refusing to let Lu Lu touch them.

“Hey! Are you shameless! Why are you menfolk acting all cute!”

Lu Lu bared her fangs and brandished her claws, lunging forward! Alan dodged and avoided her. Ultimately, he was a lot taller than Lu Lu. He used all his strength to stand on his tiptoes, persistent on not returning the clip to Lu Lu as he hummed cheerfully. He failed to see any of Cheryl’s meaningful glances.

As he continued to hum, he noticed that Lu Lu had suddenly frozen in her spot… Alan turned around, his face turning white in an instant.

“Director… Director Chen…”

Chen Yuheng stood by the door to the CEO’s office with an expressionless look. He swept his gaze over to the black cat ears on Alan’s head and asked, “Do you like them too?”

“Ugh… They’re… okay…” The man instantly became a cowardly chicken.

“Then wear them all day. You are not allowed to remove them until we finish work.”

“…” Alan was instantly in a disarray. Ah!!!Would he still have the courage to meet people? Could he still have a pleasant stay in this company?

Lu Lu lowered her head as she covered her mouth with her hand. Her shoulders shook as she tried to hold back her laughter.

“Lu Lu, have you tidied up the records for the meeting that took place early this afternoon?” The devil king glanced at her…

Shocked, Lu Lu raised her head and faltered as she replied, “Not… not yet…” Didn’t they usually hand it in just before work ended?

Chen Yuheng furrowed his eyebrows. “I am heading out for lunch now. When I’m back, I hope to see the meeting records all tidied up.”

Lu Lu was utterly stunned. Ah ah ah ah!! Everyone in the company knows that you are the fastest eater!! I can’t finish it!! I can’t!! Your servant can’t do it!!

Chen Yuheng had already left with his jacket in hand…

With tears in her eyes, Lu Lu rushed into Cheryl’s embrace and cried, “Sister Cheryl! Save me!”

Cheryl supported her forehead with her hand…

Cheryl started in an instant! Pushing Lu Lu away, she hurriedly chased after the man in her high heels!

“Director Chen! Director Chen!…” She had almost forgotten about the robot matter with Auntie Yu and Ms. Shen!

She managed to successfully intercept the devil king at the elevator door!

Chen Yuheng stood at the elevator door with one hand pressing onto the ‘open’ button. His expression was one of impatience. She could almost read the words, ‘Whatever it is, say it quickly’ written on his face.

“Auntie Yu came by earlier…”

Chen Yuheng furrowed his eyebrows.

Auntie Yu?… Who?

“… She waited for you for a while, along with Ms. Shen.”

Ms. Shen?… Oh, it was Yu Qinglan.

“Next time, be clearer with your words,” Chen Yuheng interrupted her strictly.

“…” When was I unclear?

“Just say that I am very busy and have no time to eat with them.” Chen Yuheng thought that they had visited him to have a meal together. He reached out and was ready to close the elevator door.

“Eh?! No, no!” Cheryl frantically pressed her hand against the sides of the elevator door. Ignoring her current appearance, she continued, “It was not for a meal this time! Director Chen, Ms. Shen wants the robot model that you are currently using. I told them that it is a custom-made model that’s not for sale, but Auntie Yu asked if you could lend it to them for a few days if it’s convenient.”

Cheryl finished her message in one breath. Panting, she looked at Chen Yuheng as she waited for his response.

Chen Yuheng was silent. She didn’t know what he was thinking. After not speaking for a long moment, he suddenly said, “Is there something wrong with them?”

Huh?…

The elevator doors closed, leaving Cheryl stunned as she stood in front of the elevator door.

What… What did he mean by that?…

Was he asking in concern, thinking that the other party was sick and needed a caregiver-robot?… But how could that be… It clearly sounded like… he was scolding them…

Then… how should she reply to them? Devil king, could you give them a call yourself and tell them? The person who gets scolded and cursed at is always me! It’s me!! Me!!

It’s getting harder and harder to be a secretary this year!!

At the RK building’s entrance, an eye-catching pseudo gold sports car was parked. The pedestrians were all drawn to it, not just to the beautiful car, but also the stunning lady inside it.

Chen Yuheng stopped in front of the car door.

The lady in the car had wavy, curly, black hair. One could see her fiery red lips and elegant lower jaw below her sunglasses. She was dressed in a slim silver-colored female suit, suitable to show off her perfect body shape. She was hot but not slutty, and she looked capable but still graceful.

Chen Yuheng raised his eyebrows. “I thought Director Qin would be waiting for me at the restaurant.”

Qin Yu smiled and opened the car door. “I came over since it was on the way. Director Chen is very punctual. Get in.”

Chen Yuheng didn’t say much else as he sat in the sports car, which sped soon away.
