The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 462 Will Robots Miss Little Fish? (Part 39)

Having obtained basic information about Xiao Xunlan from his two young team members, Lin Huanming nodded and told them to continue their work. He then took his phone and left the office to call Xiao Xunlan.

Lin Huanming asked, "Xiao Xunlan, is that right? I remember now, what did you want to see me about? Our teams aren't working on the same thing, are they?"

“Hmm…the two groups we’re leading are indeed not going in the same direction.” Xiao Xunlan swallowed hard, pacing back and forth nervously. Then she realized that her footsteps were too loud and that Lin Huanming on the other side might have heard her, so she stopped.

Should we abandon that plan? Xiao Xunlan hesitated for a moment, but when she saw the robot in front of her, she made up her mind: "Professor Lin, I learned from other colleagues that you are researching a new type of companion robot."

“Yes, I don’t think it’s a big secret.” Lin Huanming turned to look in the direction of the laboratory.

“Yes, that’s right. I also have a robot myself.” Xiao Xunlan took a deep breath and said this through gritted teeth.

"Your robot? What's wrong with it?" Lin Huanming asked. "If there's a problem, I suggest you contact customer service instead of coming to me. I'm just a robot researcher; it doesn't mean I can fix every robot."

"Well, no, it's Professor Lin. I heard you're researching companion robots that mimic humans." Xiao Xunlan took a deep breath and finally revealed her purpose. "I'm very interested in what you're researching, so I'd like to visit your office and ask you some questions."

"I'm more curious about why you suddenly thought of contacting me," Lin Huanming asked calmly. "It must not be easy to find my phone number, since I don't appear as often as the other professors and participate in fewer activities."

“Yes, it’s not easy,” Xiao Xunlan said, then suddenly realized what she meant and quickly said, “So Professor Lin, could I go to your office to take a look at that robot?”

"What do you want to see it for?" Remembering the phone call Dai Miyin had made to him before, Lin Huanming suspected that Xiao Xunlan had also been contacted by the system Xiao Q.

“Well, it’s not necessarily the robot that we have to see,” Xiao Xunlan’s tone suddenly softened. “It’s enough if you can answer some of my questions.”

"Alright then." Lin Huanming took the phone away from his ear and glanced at the time; it was almost lunchtime.

"Are you eating in the cafeteria later?" Lin Huanming asked, putting the phone back to his ear.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes." Seeing that the person opposite her seemed inclined to talk to her, Xiao Xunlan quickly said, "I'm on the second floor... no, which floor are you dining on?"

"Me? I went back to the research building after buying lunch." Lin Huanming took the phone away from his ear again, exited the call, and sent messages to Feng Yuhan and Wang Yinghui, asking them what they wanted to eat for lunch.

"Oh, okay. Well, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the cafeteria on the first floor." Xiao Xunlan said this and then fell silent without hanging up the phone.

Lin Huanming was silent for a few seconds before finally saying, "Then I'll hang up."

"Okay, okay, okay." After Xiao Xunlan finished speaking, Lin Huanming waited a few more seconds to make sure that Xiao Xunlan didn't have anything to say before hanging up the phone.

Looking at the message bar, I saw that Wang Yinghui and Feng Yuhan had already posted what they wanted to eat for lunch.

Lin Huanming walked towards the cafeteria—he'd been sitting for so long, he needed to get some exercise.
