Judging from Huo Yao’s reaction, Liu Qian felt that she probably did not know about the company. He promptly explained. “DO Corporation has the most advanced AI technology in the world. They are the best in the internet trade.”
Huo Yao’s lips twitched. Sure enough, he was referring to the same company she knew about.
“They provide AI security services to the most powerful countries in the world. They’re in the middle of creating their fourth-generation AI robot, so they are very interested in our AI system, especially your database. They sent an email asking about this.”
Liu Qian pointed at the mail the moment he finished his sentence.
As soon as Huo Yao heard about the reason for the email, she had an inkling of what the company wanted from them. Reading the email only served to confirm her thoughts.
“How did they know about our AI system research project?” asked Huo Yao after putting down the mouse.
“I’m equally puzzled. They simply mailed me out of the blue and asked me about it,” replied Liu Qian.
In reality, the email was sent a couple of days ago, but he only checked it today.
Initially, he suspected that it was a scammer. When he got to the contact information at the bottom of the email, he automatically called to check and confirmed that the email was legitimate.
It was genuinely from DO Corporation.
Huo Yao quietly glanced at Liu Qian. “What do you plan to do about it?”
“What kind of question is that?” Liu Qian was still reeling in joy from the company’s offer and did not have the opportunity to think deeper.
Huo Yao rubbed her brow and said, “We have to squeeze as much money as we can out of them.”
“Huh?” Liu Qian was caught by surprise. He promptly snapped out of his daze and could sense his face twitching.
Huo Yao had previously asked about monetary rewards for joining the research team, but he had forgotten about the incident.
“Nothing has been confirmed yet. We’re still working with the institute, so we have to at least finish that before we consider the offer. After all, we have signed a contract with them and there’s a confidentiality clause involved,” answered Liu Qian cautiously.
“Okay. Is that all then?” Huo Yao promptly lost interest in the conversation.
Liu Qian went speechless.
If anyone was in this position and received an offer from the biggest security company in the world, they would be thrilled by the prospect. Instead, Huo Yao only cared about money.
Liu Qian sighed depressingly. He stopped talking about the email and said, “The institute has used the revised system and confirms that there is no problem in using it.”
“Good.” Huo Yao nodded and seemed unsurprised.
“Even though it’s now compatible with their system, a few more minor adjustments are probably needed in the future. When that happens, you’ll have to go work in the institute,” said Liu Qian.
“Got it.”
Huo Yao thought about the institute’s backward technology and felt it would take more than minor adjustments before everything could be settled.

After her last class finished in the afternoon, Huo Yao sensed her phone vibrating in her pocket while she walked out of the building.
Min Yu was calling her.
Huo Yao answered the phone as she stepped out of the building.
A cool voice came from the phone. “Waiting for you outside your department.”
