It was already night when the late fog arrived in Raojing.

The plane landed successfully amid lightning and thunder and the nervousness of passengers, and the sound of tires rubbing against the ground could be heard through the glass and baffles.

Chi Wu left the cabin with the flow of people, and there were still a lot of people at Raojing Airport late at night, and passengers from the south to the north could hear the greeting of asking "whether you need accommodation" along the way.

Chi Wu stood at the entrance of the terminal building to take shelter from the rain, and the ride-hailing software on his mobile phone rotated to remind that there were fewer vehicles nearby.

The lights are brilliant, and the high-rise buildings are lined up one after another, just like before.

The phone vibrates twice.

[Xun Yao: I'm off work! Did you get a taxi? 】

[Chi Wu: Not yet. 】

[Xun Yao: Then I'll come and pick you up. 】

[Chi Wu: No, it'll be there in a while.] 】

She doesn't like to trouble other people's character Xun Yao knew, Xun Yao was not reluctant, and after sending her the address again, let her call herself.

After waiting for a long time, Chi Wu leaned his back against the wall, looking at the mobile phone that kept turning in circles with some irritation, and was about to extinguish the mobile phone mailbox to prompt that there was a new email.

It's a contract.

She came to Raojing this time to negotiate a contract.

The client was a neighbor of her when she was a child, and Chi's father said that someone approached him this morning and asked her to help negotiate with the other party.

The person looking for her is called Chen Shifu, who is the original neighbor and once helped their family. Chi Wu asked his father for Chen Shifu's phone number, inquired about the situation and left for the airport.

Chen Shifu now runs a technology company, and some time ago the tender successfully tendered a smart home AI project, but it received a large number of complaints not long after it was implemented, and AI frequently had problems, Chen Shifu found that there was a problem with Party A's materials, and he wanted to reflect the past to solve the problem, but the other party insisted that the materials and production were fine, and he cut corners.

Chen Shifu did not invite a legal counsel, and consulted a lawyer to say that there were loopholes in the contract, but the other party sent elite lawyers, in case he found Chi's father.

The other company's name is "ours." ”

This company has heard of Chi Wu, which has risen in the past two years, mainly to fully automatic home intelligent AI, the price is very civilian in the same AI, and many people with elderly or children at home have purchased it.

Colleagues in the law firm have also purchased it, and the feedback is good.

Chi Wu bought the nearest flight to Raojing, and during the waiting time, she received an email from Chen Shifu, which was a contract signed by Ours with him. Chen Shifu was going to pick her up, but she refused because she didn't want to trouble.

She clicked on the email, and as soon as the interface loaded, a voice suddenly came from her ear—

"Chi Wu?"

Chi Wu raised his eyes.

The person who came was a boy, handsome, slender, and his face was surprised and delighted.

"It's really you, I just thought I was wrong." Chen Zhinan said, shouting down the steps, "I'll just say I'm not wrong." ”

Chi Wu followed his gaze, and a black sedan stopped on the side of the road at some point, rubbing the shiny body, and the two R's of the car logo overlapped.

The car window was rolled down by a third, and the man in the back seat had a three-dimensional and cold face, with a slight sideways gaze, the heavy rain and the city seemed to have become his background board, and his eyebrows and eyes were cold under the night rain and lights.

Familiar and unfamiliar.

Chi Wu was in a trance, but quickly calmed down and looked away from Xie Huaijing.

Chen Zhinan saw the ride-hailing software still spinning on her mobile phone, "Where are you going?" We'll send you. ”

"Don't bother." Chi Wu refused, "The place I went to was relatively remote and not very stoppable. ”

After saying that, the ride-hailing software prompts that the car has been called, and it is nearby, and it will arrive in one minute.

"I'll go first." Chi Wu had already seen the license plate of the taxi book, and walked into the rain with an umbrella.

The taxi stopped right in front of the Rolls-Royce, the wet ground reflected the city and her figure, and Chi Fog passed by the black car, bent down and sat in the car, never looking at the man again.

It was already late when she arrived at Xun Yao's house, Xun Yao was still wearing a mask, and when the two met, Xun Yao gave a bear hug first.

"You're finally willing to come to Raojing." Xun Yao asked, "How long have you been here this time?" ”

"It's estimated that it will take two or three days, and I will leave after the negotiation."

Xun Yao glared: "So anxious? It's all here, you just play for two more days before leaving. ”

Chi Wu smiled, didn't refuse or agree, "It's time to see the work arrangement." ”

This is a house rented by Xun Yao, with two bedrooms and one living room, and Chi Wu lives in a guest room. After washing, she turned on the computer to read the contract, Xun Yao sat cross-legged on the sofa to take care of her skin, and glanced at the interface of her computer.

"Free help again this time?"

Chi Wu: "Well, the other party turned out to be kind to our family. ”

Xun Yao was not surprised, but exclaimed when she saw ours, "The company you want to negotiate with is ours?" ”

Chi Wu looked at her with a surprised face, and stopped talking, "What's wrong?" ”

Xun Yao: "Do you know whose company Ours is?" ”

"I don't know, but no matter whose business it is, if there is a problem with the contract, there is a problem." Chi Wu said.

Xun Yao swallowed slowly, "It's Xie Huaijing." ”

Chi Wu was stunned, and then smiled, "Oh." ”

Xun Yao looked at her with an indifferent face, "After Xie Huaijing took over the family company, it didn't take long for him to establish OURS, and he has gained a firm foothold in Raojing in the past few years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a technology upstart." ”

"That's good." Chi Wu smiled and said, "I don't know how the legal counsel he hired is." ”

Chi Wu read the contract, circled the problematic places, and then turned off the computer and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, Chen Shifu asked the driver to pick her up, and his secretary also came, the woman was capable and neat, and stretched out her hand generously, "Zhang Xiao." Chi Lu, long admired the name. ”

Chi Wu shook his hand back, "Hello." ”

The place agreed by the two parties was Chen Shifu's company, and on the way, Zhang Xiao told her some information about ours and the company, and made a PPT of the situation of AI to Chi Wu.

It is a simulated AI robot, which is implanted in multiple languages, can help children with homework, and can also tell stories, the core of which is heat source sensing.

Input the elderly or children who need to be taken care of at home into the robot system, and the robot will automatically sense the person's breathing and body temperature according to the input data, and will immediately warn if there is an abnormality.

It is equivalent to hiring a twenty-four caretaker and providing twenty years of after-sales service.

It is indeed convenient for the people.

"Here we are." Zhang Xiao said.

Chen Shifu's company is located in the Raojing CBD area and rents a one-storey building. The conference room is not large, and there are people sitting on both sides, which is its own faction. Chen Shifu stood up with a smile when he saw her.

"The fog is coming, come and sit."

The late fog passed, "Uncle Chen." ”

Seeing that she respected herself so much, Chen Shifu smiled happily and introduced to her, "This is Manager He of OURS, and these two are OURS's lawyers." As he spoke, he introduced Chi Wu to the other party, "This is Chi Wu." ”

Surprise and surprise flashed in the eyes of the three people opposite, Chen Shifu asked Chi Wu to sit next to him and glanced at Zhang Xiao, who nodded at him. Chen Shifu crossed his hands in front of the table, "When the people are here, Manager He can start." ”

The man called Manager He was in a suit and leather shoes, "Wait a minute, Mr. Xie will be here soon." ”

Chen Shifu: "Mr. Xie? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the glass door was pushed open again, and the three people on the opposite side stood in unison and shouted, "Mr. Xie." ”

Chi Wu's eyes paused slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at the person sitting down opposite.

A well-ironed black suit, deep eyebrow bones, thin lips and a straight nose, and the peach blossom eyes under the long eyebrows are cold and silent.

Chi Wu only glanced at it and then retracted his gaze, flipping through the original contract between Chen Shifu and Ours.

Chen Shifu didn't expect Xie Huaijing to come, greet the other party, and introduce the words just introduced again. Chi Wu had to raise his eyes again, and the two looked at each other, but they staggered in half a second.

Chi Wu bowed slightly, "Mr. Xie." ”

Xie Huaijing didn't speak.

Seeing this, Manager He took over the conversation, "Mr. Chen, Chi Lu, you can start." ”

Because of Xie Huaijing's presence, the atmosphere in Ours obviously became low, and everyone became a little careful in their words.

Manager He concisely talked about the problems of this meeting, and the problems to be solved, and the words were to push the responsibility to Chen Shifu's company, Chen Shifu faced the problem of the lawyer on the other side of the problem has some difficulties, on the other hand, Chi Wu's face did not change, and he nodded in agreement when he heard some regulations.

"Little fog."

Chi Wu smiled, "Uncle Chen don't worry. ”

After the opposing lawyer finished speaking, Chi Wu turned to a certain page in the contract, "I just said that according to the provisions of the contract, we must inspect the materials provided by OURS in a timely manner. ”

The opposing lawyer nodded, "Yes, if there is a problem that needs to be replaced and remedied in time, but three months have passed from the signing of the contract to the delivery of materials and related technical guidance, and OURS has not received any feedback on materials and technology, which is the responsibility of the contractor." ”

Chi Wu nodded, "But we have clearly reported this situation to Ours, but we have not received a reply from Ours, and in the process of technical production, Ours has raised meaningless questions and changes to our production, causing our losses, according to Articles 776 to 778 of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China, we have the right to terminate the contract when Ours does not perform the contract, and then -"

Chi Wu turned to another page, "Article 35 of the contract treaty marks the materials provided by ours and the right to drive, and there are clear requirements for the quantity and quality of the functional AI we produce, but only the surveying and mapping and inspection are included in ours, as the contract says, the biggest reason for the problem with AI is because the technical inspection of ours is unqualified, but a substandard product is covered, may I ask, who should be the main responsibility for this?" ”

The opposing lawyer was a little overwhelmed by the question, but Chi Wu did not stop there, and glanced at Zhang Xiao, who connected the computer to the projection screen, which contained a record of their problems with ours reaction materials and chips.

"It took us a month to receive a reply to our inquiry, during which we caused a lot of damage and damaged the company's reputation, I would like to ask you, why do we need to be held responsible for the mistakes of our work because we are obviously unaware of this matter and whose interests have been damaged?"

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Manager He's forehead, and he didn't dare to look at Xie Huaijing on the side.

Chen Shifu saw that she was well-founded and well-organized, and the original uneasiness finally disappeared, and turned to look at Xie Huaijing, who was silent but coerced, "Mr. Xie, we are very sincere with ours." ”

Chen Shifu has also been a human being for so many years, and his words are up to the point.

Xie Huaijing's voice was cold and emotionless, "According to the Civil Code contract contracting, surveying and mapping inspection are the responsibilities of the contractor, lawyer Chi said that ours will pass the unqualified AI standard inspection, and will continue to sell after the first batch of AI quality feedback, what should this be called?" He raised his eyes slightly, "Knowing his mistakes and not changing them, he fills his pockets." ”

The atmosphere in the conference room instantly fell to a freezing point.

Chi Wu laughed, "If we have a problem, we will naturally bear the corresponding responsibility, but Ours tries to put all the responsibility on us and abandon the car to protect the commander." ”

Xie Huaijing glanced at her, like a floating cloud, which couldn't be more casual, "Why not?" ”

Chi Wu chuckled, "Expected. ”

“......”

The other people didn't dare to come out, and the two went back and forth, and every sentence was in order, but they always made a little unusual.

During the break, Chi Wu went to the bathroom, Xun Yao and her father sent a message to ask how she was, Chi Wu replied to the message, turned around, and met the man in the smoking area.

Xie Huaijing stood against the wall, he put a cigarette in his mouth, the silver lighter "clicked" out of the blue-orange flames, he lowered his head slightly, the smoke lingered, blurring his outline a little.

Chi Wu passed in front of him, smiled and said politely, "Mr. Xie." ”

Just as she was about to walk by, Xie Huaijing said in a cold voice, "I said, don't let me see you again." ”

Chi Wu stopped and turned around.

He still kept that posture and smoked, the scarlet between his fingers was visible, he was still that good skin, but his temperament was diametrically opposite, the only thing that was the same was the gaze that looked at her at this time.

It's the same as the last time we saw each other four years ago.
