Back in her office, Liu Sisi dialed Zhou Zhichen's internal line.

She didn't drive today. After packing up the blueprints and related documents for the Hengzhou land, as well as her laptop, she set off with him.

Zhou Zhichen recently bought a new car, a black BMW X5.

After fastening her seatbelt, she couldn't resist teasing Zhou Zhichen, "Your new car is pretty good~".

"It's alright, I've been doing this for several years now, so this is a little self-reward!" Zhou Zhichen replied somewhat embarrassedly, fiddling with the navigation for a while.

“That’s true. We should enjoy life to the fullest when we’re successful, otherwise it’ll be too miserable. Right?” Liu Sisi said with a contented expression, feeling that the carriage was spacious and the air conditioning was strong.

Zhou Zhichen glanced at her, then started the car. "So, all along, I've just seemed too boring to you?"

"You? Hmm, how should I put it?" Liu Sisi rolled her dark eyes, thought for a moment, and then smiled. "Maybe at work, when communicating with people in my field, it's alright. But in private, and I hope you don't mind, I'm just a bit introverted and reserved."

"Hehe~." Zhou Zhichen chuckled softly, seemingly agreeing somewhat. He turned the steering wheel, and the car stopped in front of the exit gate, waiting to be scanned.

Just then, a black Bentley Mulsanne drove in from outside.

The figures in the other carriage unexpectedly caught Liu Sisi's attention.

That was Zeng Ziyan, and beside her was her husband.

The two seemed to be talking, and the atmosphere looked quite lively, as they both had pleasant expressions on their faces.

Liu Sisi frowned subconsciously. The BMW X5 was relatively tall, so she could clearly see their movements from above.

Conversely, Lin Xuedong was sitting on the inside of the back seat, and from his angle, it was not easy for him to see what was happening on the other side of the train.

Moreover, Zeng Ziyan kept pestering him to talk about something.

As the scanner passed and the gate opened, Zhou Zhichen stepped on the gas. The car sped off, narrowly missing the Bentley in an instant.

"Was that Mr. Lin's car just now?"

"Yes, it's him." Liu Sisi snapped out of her reverie and looked at the road ahead. She felt a pang of unease, a sense of emptiness and unease.

"Sisi, are you doing well in the CEO's office?" Zhou Zhichen had noticed something unusual between her and Lin Xuedong at the last dinner party, which piqued his curiosity. But he didn't know where to begin, so he decided to probe indirectly.

Liu Sisi glanced at him sideways, squinting, a smile playing on her lips. "Zhou Zhichen, what do you want to find out? To me, it's all just work; it's the same no matter where I am."

"No, I..." Zhou Zhichen was truly tongue-tied; he just wanted to show her some concern.

Liu Sisi wanted to chuckle at his nervous and shy demeanor. "Look at you, just ask whatever you want to know. Don't you know my personality?"

"I just wanted to check on...a colleague." Never mind, I shouldn't ask; it's too awkward.

"Thank you~, don't worry. With my carefree and easygoing personality, I can get along well anywhere." Liu Sisi understood him quite well; he was just awkward and shy around women.

At 3 p.m. sharp, they arrived at Songke.

Guo Zhenzhen ushered them into the conference room and helped them settle in.

"Miss Guo, could you please make three copies of this blueprint for me? The original size, I'll need them later. Thank you." Liu Sisi handed the blueprint of the Hengzhou land to Guo Zhenzhen.

"Okay, I'll go prepare. You guys go ahead." Guo Zhenzhen took the blueprints and turned to leave.

As they approached the conference room door, they encountered Li Songze, Xing Yi, and Su Di, who were entering together. "President."

Liu Sisi and Zhou Zhichen looked up when they heard the sound and saw three handsome men, led by Li Songze, walking in a line. The scene was quite impressive.

The two quickly stood up straight and greeted them with smiles.

"Please sit down, everyone." Li Songze, with a calm expression, was the first to sit down.

Liu Sisi thought to herself, "Why is this icy-faced guy always so tight-lipped? Can't he at least smile?"

"Where's A-Dong today?" Xing Yi raised an eyebrow and looked at Liu Sisi.

“Oh, our General Manager Lin just had to go out on business and might not be able to make it today. However, he instructed us to prepare the planning map of the training ground and a preliminary document of the cooperation agreement. We would like to discuss these two topics with your company today.” Liu Sisi slowly sat down with a polite smile.

Li Songze stared intently at her, his voice low and cold. "Where?"

"Mr. Li, you mean...?" Liu Sisi paused slightly, almost intimidated when she met his gaze. She swallowed hard, her watery eyes shimmering, and forced back her fear as she said, "Oh, the Hengzhou we mentioned last time."

At this moment, Guo Zhenzhen returned with the finished drawings and distributed them to everyone.

Liu Sisi also turned her gaze away, projected the map onto the large screen in the conference room, and used a laser pointer to explain the map on the screen.

Throughout the process, Li Songze's gaze seemed to linger on her.

It had been a week since I last saw her, and this woman seemed to be in even better shape. She remained so composed and articulate even in the face of his powerful aura...

"Lin's Hengzhou is quite suitable as a training ground. Can your 5G base station construction and network deployment keep up?" Xing Yi asked, looking at the logo on the screen.

Liu Sisi paused, turned to Zhou Zhichen and whispered a few words to him, then looked up again to answer. "If the site selection is finalized, we will apply to the telecommunications operators in Hengzhou for network deployment and arrange base station construction as soon as possible. In addition, our main control unit is expected to have a preliminary trial module ready in two months."

"Although Hengzhou covers a relatively large area, approximately 4,000 acres, it may take a considerable amount of time for telecommunications operators to build a substantial number of base stations. To align with our initial trial schedule set at six months, we suggest prioritizing some promising road sections. We should first lay out the network, install base stations, and construct some basic urban scene settings. This phased deployment will help us accumulate experience and gain more development time."

"When can we arrange for an on-site inspection?" asked Li Songze.

“Anytime is fine, as long as it’s convenient for you, Mr. Li.” Liu Sisi turned her gaze to him. “Hengzhou is only a three-hour drive from S City. If necessary, we can arrange for a helicopter ride, reducing the travel time to half an hour.”

"Hmm." Li Songze stared at her for a good half second, his deep gaze making her a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, after his initial hum, he turned to Xing Yi, his voice cool and detached. "We need to gather information on VR/AR application scenarios now. Could you set aside some time this week to take a look?"

Xing Yi glanced at his laptop and pondered for a moment. "We can arrange it as early as Thursday."

"Then please make the arrangements. Xing Yi and I will go to Hengzhou on Thursday to take a look at that place."

“Okay, Mr. Li.” Liu Sisi replied, then lowered her head and scribbled in her notebook, as if recording the matter.

Such an ordinary action, when seen in Li Songze's deep black eyes, was like a blooming blue lotus.

Liu Sisi's appearance is not considered stunningly beautiful, and she is not even as beautiful as Huang Minqiu and Ren Anran.

But that serene temperament made him feel as if he were in a poetic and picturesque world, and he would unconsciously become captivated by it.

A moment later, Liu Sisi seemed to have thought of something. She looked up at Zhou Zhichen and prompted him, "Vice President Zhou, I think it would be best if you personally introduced the preliminary design concept of the main control device."

“Okay.” Zhou Zhichen nodded, looked at Xing Yi, and said in a clear but not loud voice, “Mr. Xing, I emailed you the preliminary design drawings of our autonomous driving main control device this morning. In the early stages of the design, we will first select a model as a blueprint. It would be more suitable for your application software development team to select the appropriate configuration.”

At this point, the large screen displays a diagram of the main control system device.

It includes a main control unit, monitoring panels, robotic arms, multiple high-definition wide-angle cameras inside and outside the vehicle, monitoring radar, network transceiver antenna devices, emergency alarm devices, and so on.

“Because different car models have different performance structures, selecting one as the target will be more beneficial for software and hardware development,” Zhou Zhichen added.

Xing Yi nodded in agreement. "Okay, we'll handle that. We'll finalize it at next week's meeting."

Next, they discussed the details of the cooperation agreement.

The signing ceremony is tentatively scheduled for September, by which time the software and hardware development will be in its initial stages. Permits for the deployment of network base stations at the exercise site will be issued successively, and construction will commence as planned.

The meeting ended after working hours.

Liu Sisi followed Zhou Zhichen back to the Lin family business. The elevator arrived at the floor where the system research and development department was located, and the two then parted ways.
