Chapter 339: Photo Scandal

"Next time, let's go on a picnic!"

Liang Yan said politely, "Dad, do you want to go back to school again!"

Little Yu's sister's estate has a lake and a garden, and there are several mountains to the south; they've been everywhere. If they just want to see scenery, why a picnic?

In the afternoon, Su Yu and Liang Yan's only joy was taking photos with Mom and Dad.

Candy House, Wind Chime Hall, Conch Shell Room, Robot Plaza... they checked in and took photos at every spot.

Dinner was eaten back at the villa. After dinner, Liang Yan went home with Zhu Xueheng and Liang Lijiang, while Su Yu stood beside Ji Yan, watching her post photos to social media.

"Mom, don't post this one!"

"It's so cute!"

Yang Zhichun had been looking at photos with Su Yi, heard the voice, came over and said, "Indeed cute!"

Su Yu and the Samoyed doll were both placed in the ice house, striking the same "awoo" pose; at first glance, they looked like sister species!

"No, no, I still want it to be presentable! This is so un‑impressive!"

【And the mouth is opened so wide, it doesn't capture any of my beauty at all!】

"You're still a child; if it's not impressive, then it's not impressive!"

Su Yu just felt embarrassed, but seeing Mom and great‑grandma happy, she reluctantly put aside her shame to accompany the family.

"Then you go ahead and post it!"

【Whimper— I'm becoming a black mark!】

Seeing Su Yu's strong resistance, Ji Yan swapped the picture, replacing it with a photo of her happily laughing while holding the Samoyed doll.

Ji Yan posted today's picture, treating it as a soft advertisement for Ertongcheng, then led Su Yu upstairs to bathe and sleep.

Early the next morning, Su Yu woke up and was almost covered in Wulongcha on her face, 【What's wrong? You scared me!】

【You trended on Hot Search again last night; luckily your family has a professional PR firm that promptly used Ertongcheng's official account to clarify everything.】

Su Yu opened the Hot Search and saw #ErtongchengOfficialResponse#, the first entry being the official account's reply.

【Qingshanqu Ertongcheng】: Not a limited edition, not for sale, you can touch it! 【image】. JPG*9 Below, netizens were stirring, saying that seasoned Yeyou fans could tell Su Yu wasn't holding a real Yeyou, how could Yeyou's eyes be that big? Scrolling further, Su Yu finally saw her own Hot Search entry.

#SuYuErtongchengPrivilege# The few trending ones were likely deleted for fear her family would get sued by lawyers. The plaza was too fragmented, and Su Yu was too lazy to piece together the information, so she asked Wulongcha directly.

【Wulongcha, what privilege did I get?】

【They said you brought a real dog in for photos. They also said you tried to use the staff entrance.】

【... Everything was clarified?】

Su Yu felt so wronged! The doll was too realistic and they blamed her? 【The explanation was clear, but your hype is rising again; be careful on the way to school!】

The campus is a semi‑public area; being stopped for an interview would be bad!

Su Yu wasn't stopped on the way to school, but when she reached the classroom, A Bu Xia stopped her.

"Su Yu, is the mall in the photo yours?"

"Yes!"

Su Yu looked at the photo and didn't deny it.

"Then let me take apart those robots, and I'll put them back together for you!"

"No, you have to buy it yourself to take it apart; that one isn't a non‑sale item!"

A Bu Xia looked at Su Yu plaintively; if she could afford it, would she still ask her?

Su Yu pretended not to see it and went to the life teacher to report the matter.

"Teacher, why doesn't she think it's impolite?"

"Geniuses always have their own quirks."

The life teacher had observed Su Yu and Liang Yan for a long time and found that, in secular eyes, these two children's behaviors were fairly normal. She reported upward, recommending a warm family atmosphere for the geniuses.

"Doesn't she have money?"

Su Yu recalled that the school gave a huge subsidy. A Bu Xia also assembles machinery; she could make small gadgets to sell online and earn some money!

Before the life teacher could answer, another female voice sounded, "Research is too costly." Su Yu looked up; the speaker was Cheng Ya, A Bu Xia's robotics teacher.

"Hello, teacher!"

"Hmm, I heard your family is very wealthy?"

"Yes!"

"Are the employee benefits good and the work leisurely?"

"Compensation depends on your demands; whether it's leisurely depends mainly on the department and the schedule."

Some departments are truly busy when active, and truly idle when not.

"What kind of benefits can you offer?"

Cheng Ya ran her fingers through her hair. For a research project, she's really worried about going bald! If Su Clan's benefits are truly as good as rumored online, she could work there for a while.

Su Yu knew roughly the salary, but didn't know whether the family still needed more people.

"Hold on, I'll call and ask my family."

"Okay!"

Cheng Ya went over and ushered her students into the classroom; the previous remarks seemed offhand, she didn't care at all.

Su Yu looked at the life teacher, "Teacher, do you think Teacher Cheng Ya is serious?"

"She asked directly, so she is serious."

"Alright, then I'll call and ask."

When it comes to teachers who could flip at any moment, Su Yu naturally turned to a top‑tier external aid—her uncle—for help.

"Uncle, does the company lack geniuses in the mechanical manufacturing industry? Our teacher wants to apply, asking about benefits and free time. She seems to want a more leisurely job."

Su Xi pondered, "The joint venture with your grandfather is lacking, but it's in the robotics field; have your grandfather conduct the interview."

"Alright, thanks, Uncle!"

Su Yu called her grandfather again, clarified the actual shortage, and then said, "Teacher, if I miss Teacher Cheng Ya, please let her know."

"Alright!"

"Thank you, Teacher!"

"You're welcome!"

Su Yu continued self‑studying in the classroom, and Cheng Ya soon came out for a walk.

Su Yu stepped forward to have Ji Tianlin exchange contact information with Cheng Ya, then followed the law‑teaching teacher inside to study.

……

"Mom, what is this?"

Su Yu went to Yan Le Yuan for a patrol and saw a cute‑looking, but unidentified, plush creature.

She and Liang Yan stepped forward to tease it, and the plush's eyes suddenly flashed two beams of light, a stimulation comparable to seeing a corpse open its eyes and perform a backflip for her.

"This is a new breed of pet jointly developed by your grandfather and uncle; it only needs charging to feed, doesn't require scooping waste, can clean itself, and even connects to the internet to search jokes to amuse its owner."

"It will definitely have a market, but I wonder what the purchasing power is like?"

【There are currently no plush robots this cute!】

"So cute—how much does one cost?"

Watching the plush circle around her, Liang Yan's heart was about to melt. She also wanted to keep one.

"It depends on the type and function; each has a different price."

Considering that more contemporary young people live alone, some models are equipped with alarms and detectors that specifically scan surrounding signals, cameras, knives, etc., making solitary living safer.

Liang Yan took out her phone and opened the webpage as Ji Yan had instructed.

"Why does it still require an appointment?"

"Good night, darlings~"
