CHAPTER 381: CHAPTER 381: MANGY DOG

Rose Payne wanted to elicit sympathy from the wealthy patron, so she exaggerated her predicament.

Unexpectedly, when the patron realized she was the woman brought to court by Paige Sterling, his face changed instantly and he immediately cast her aside.

He had seen the matter online but hadn’t paid attention to Rose Payne’s appearance. Now, looking at her closely, she really did resemble that woman quite a bit.

"Such bad luck, no wonder ever since I took you in, I’ve been having misfortune!"

The patron threw a few bills at her, "Don’t come looking for me again! Treat this money as your breakup fee."

Rose Payne was at a loss, "..."

Paige Sterling, always Paige Sterling! Why even when she had fallen to this point, couldn’t Paige leave her alone, constantly haunting her life?!?

Penson was collaborating and exchanging ideas this time with a technology company from abroad, and they arranged to meet at a hotel.

At the same time, several domestic research companies were also sending people, including Apex.

Representing Apex was Henry Hale.

He smiled at Paige Sterling, "President Sterling, I hope you don’t mind?"

In such situations, how could Paige be candid?

Isn’t it all just hypocrisy? Who doesn’t know how?

Paige smiled, "I don’t mind, as long as it helps President Hale."

Henry Hale seemed very interested in talking with Paige, "I heard Penson is planning to launch a batch of products recently, different from the past. President Sterling once predicted the sales of the new products would surpass the previous robots? Could President Sterling reveal what this new product is?"

None of the people present were uninterested in what Henry Hale said, so everyone perked up their ears, curious about what exactly Penson’s so-called unique new product would be this time.

As everyone knows, Paige Sterling’s flagship product is intelligent robots.

Other products include defensive types, fitness types, and medical types.

Of course, items like Mecha and other products that can only be used for military or police purposes are never publicly disclosed by Penson.

In any case, Penson seems to have bought almost everything that can be manufactured through technology.

Penson’s most profitable is the robots, but this product has almost been perfected by Penson to the utmost. With the current global technological level and available conditions, it’s impossible to advance further.

So what exactly is this product Paige Sterling claims will surpass the sales of robots?

Paige chuckled, "In the second half of the year, Penson will focus on the pet market, naturally with new products like cats and dogs."

Everyone who heard this was quite puzzled.

Focusing on the pet market? Does Penson plan to open a pet store?

This isn’t an endeavor to open a pet store, is it?

Or is Paige Sterling just speaking casually?

Well, how could Paige Sterling easily reveal such matters? It’s just talk to not embarrass Henry Hale.

Few present took it seriously, yet Henry Hale seemed to believe it, "Is President Sterling planning to make electronic pets?"

Paige raised an eyebrow, "President Hale guessed it right."

Henry Hale, "With President Sterling’s capabilities, undertaking such small toys, isn’t it making a mountain out of a molehill?"

Paige shrugged, "I’m bored, not sure what else to do?"

She could create many things, but many are not suitable for this era, and the technological level also doesn’t allow her to make them.

This caused Paige to be a bit bored, so she started researching smaller directions, aiming to make some interesting small things to enrich material life.

Henry Hale listened to Paige’s words and suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Paige was so capable that she didn’t know what kind of tech to make, while Apex...didn’t know what they could create...

It’s a sad reality to have a rival standing at an unreachable height, yet you can’t touch them.

As Henry Hale was about to say something more, a young boy of about fifteen or sixteen ran over, looking very fresh-faced.

"God Sterling!"

His face was full of excitement, "God Sterling! It’s so great to see you!"

Henry Hale frowned and pulled the boy aside, "What are you doing?"

The boy, "What are you doing? I want to talk to my goddess, get lost..."

At this moment, a woman around thirty ran over from the entrance, grabbed the boy, "Sorry, sorry, we caused trouble for you..."

She then dragged the boy away.

The boy was unwilling, shouting loudly, "God Sterling! God Sterling!"

The woman was very embarrassed, afraid others would think her artist was an imbecile, explaining, "Sorry, our little Mason is a fan of God Sterling, he admires you greatly, he was just too excited seeing you."

It turned out to be a male star from the entertainment circle.

Paige nodded slightly.

Mason’s eyes were glowing, his goddess’s cool demeanor was too captivating!

"God Sterling, can I take a photo with you? I really like you..."

He was a bit aggrieved, "I entered the entertainment circle because of you, and before I got famous, you retired from the circle, so I never had the chance to see you..."

Being able to see Paige today was not easy.

He had been watching outside for a while, thinking he had mistaken it.

Unexpectedly, it actually was Paige Sterling.

Paige fulfilled Mason’s request, and finally, he was dragged away by his agent.

After leaving the hotel, Paige received a call from her cousin Evan Chambers and went to the Chambers Family.

The two chatted in the study, "I have reviewed the project plan you gave me. Are you sure you want to collaborate with Chambers Group?"

Paige nodded, "Given Penson’s current situation, it can’t bear the massive manufacturing engineering costs, while Chambers Group has toy factories and mature production lines. A collaboration between Penson and Chambers Group benefits both sides; it depends on what you, Evan, think."

This time, Paige planned to produce an artificial intelligence pet, with appearances not only of cats and dogs, but also ferrets, crocodiles...

Intelligent pets can adjust their personalities based on their owner’s preferences, whether you want them aloof, adorable, or mischievous. Intelligent pets can provide you that.

Moreover, intelligent pets have lifelike skin and fur similar to real pets, they can play with you and quietly accompany you when you’re sad.

There’s hardly any difference from real pets.

The most crucial part is, intelligent pets don’t require you to clean up after them or buy pet food.

Of course, some might feel that since they aren’t real, they’re soulless toys, no matter how smart, they’re just machines...

But Paige is confident that once these individuals possess an intelligent pet, their perspective will surely change.

Evan Chambers was also optimistic about the project, as with the rising standard of living, more and more people are fond of raising pets.

However, the cost of owning a pet is high, plus making time to clean up for them deters many who want a cute pet.

Now it’s different, intelligent pets can perfectly address these issues.

Since Paige is inclined towards collaboration with Chambers Group, Evan Chambers naturally had no reason to refuse.

After negotiating, they emerged from the study, and Burt Chambers happened to return home.

He was in the living room asking Mrs. Chambers for money.

Since he went to Paige, his pocket money was controlled by Paige, and he couldn’t splurge carelessly anymore.

After returning to the Chambers Family, they strictly followed Paige’s educational method, and his daily pocket money could barely buy him a lollipop.

Burt Chambers felt very poor, always very poor, feeling more like a poor soul than a second-generation wealthy kid.
