Chapter 483: Chapter 485: The Exhibition Begins
Both returned to the exhibition area, where number three and four were now seated on two chairs, operating two computers.
The large liquid crystal LED display in the exhibition area had been turned on as well.
The display showed video footage from inside Xinghai High-tech Company Earthquake Monitoring Room, with many red circles rippling across the screen.
Numbers 003 and 004 were tapping at the keyboards, staring at the screens on their computers.
Numbers 001 and 002 looked around, as if searching for something.
At nine o’clock, the entrance to the High-tech Exhibition Hall opened on time, and journalists from around the world entered through a passageway.
...
Many big shots from Xuan Country’s business world and experts from various domestic industries came in through another passageway.
Upon entering, they began heading towards their target exhibition areas.
Like most companies at the exhibit hall, they had held a new product launch before the exhibition to attract attention.
There were many people in each exhibition area, but not many were heading to the robot exhibition area.
That’s because there usually wasn’t much to report on at the robot exhibition area, just some old stuff with new exteriors.
The journalists knew this very well, having reported on it many times.
What they wanted was news with enough pull.
Once most people had entered, Qin Hao looked towards number 001.
001 spoke to 002, “You go borrow a chair, I’ll find a speaker.”
Having said that, the two “clattered” out of the exhibition area.
002 wasn’t gone long before people around noticed: “Damn, whose robot got loose?
Those steps, and the way it turns its head, it’s too lifelike! Is it looking for something?”
Quite a few people followed 002, who quickly found a high-tech chair display counter.
Four or five journalists were interviewing there while the person behind the counter smiled eagerly, pitching their company’s product.
002 found a gap and squeezed in, walking straight behind the counter: “I’ll borrow your company’s chairs for a bit.”
Then, without waiting for an agreement, it picked up two of the newest high-tech chairs and left.
Journalists and staff from the chair company were stunned, taking a few seconds to react.
“Hey, those are our chairs, give them back!” an employee from the company called out as he hurriedly chased after it.
The five or six journalists also snapped to and chased along, “whoosh”.
The robot indeed shocked them, and their keen professional instincts told them, this was definitely going to be big news.
“Damn it, which company produced this ruffian robot?”
More and more people joined the chase, some provoked by 001, many more drawn in by the excitement.
001 was very fast, and later it stopped running. Wheels appeared under its feet, like a skateboard, making it even faster.
...
Xinghai High-tech Company Exhibition Area.
Chang Jing, seeing that 001 and 002 had not returned, said worriedly, “What are they doing? I hope nothing’s gone wrong.”
“There shouldn’t be any problem, right? What could possibly happen?” Qin Hao replied, sounding unsure, remembering 001’s character.
Meanwhile, outside the exhibition hall, several cars stopped.
Xu Jiejian and some official leaders stepped down from them.
Following them were several of the most influential news organizations, both domestic and international.
Only top-tier media could follow Xu Jiejian and his entourage for interviews.
Xu Jiejian was here with a purpose; he had been tasked by his superiors, and his first target upon entering was the Xinghai High-tech exhibition area.
The reporter from Xuan Country TV adjusted her clothes and her demeanor before saying, “Okay, we can start the live broadcast now.”
The cameraman turned on the camera.
At this moment, the satellite TV channel, the Wei Yan network, and other platforms all started their live broadcasts.
Xuan Country TV news, whether on its TV channels or online platforms, attracted a very high viewership.
This was because it was the most authoritative news organization in the country, a weathervane of public opinion, a broadcaster of policies.
The female reporter spoke with a smile, “Hello everyone, I am Jiang Xue from Xuan Country TV. We are currently outside the High-tech Exhibition Hall in Jianghai City.”
The camera then panned to the High-tech Exhibition Hall and then to Xu Jiejian and the others.
Her voice continued from the camera,
“The newly appointed leadership team of Jianghai City has just arrived here, headed by Mr. Xu.
Let’s follow Mr. Xu’s steps into the exhibition hall to check out the high-tech products of the new era, all of which are closely related to the nation and the livelihood of the people.”
