331: Chapter 331 Rejecting Extravagance and Hype, the Future Lies in the Details

Su Qingxue looked at the desktop system and said softly, "It doesn't force you."

"It just informs you."

"This is smart service."

Lu Li nodded.

"Right."

"Users can choose not to listen."

"But the system has an obligation to provide clear health information, and can even trace ingredients back to their source."

Besides displaying nutritional content, the desktop system also recommended nearby activities.

For example, the current beta-testing shops in the Future Commercial Street, the queue status for low-altitude sightseeing vehicles, and the arrival times of smart buses.

It even provided a suggestion on when to leave based on their current dining speed.

[If you plan to experience the Yonghui Smart Supermarket, it is recommended to leave in fifteen minutes.]

[Passenger flow in the eastern section of the Future Commercial Street is currently low.]

[The next queue for the flight sightseeing vehicle is estimated to be twenty-three minutes.]

Wang Peng clicked his tongue in wonder.

"It even calculates when I'll finish eating?"

Chen Shuyu said, "It's not calculating you."

"It's making a prediction based on the type of meal, the number of diners, historical average dining duration, and your current eating speed."

Wang Peng looked stunned.

"Sister Chen, you really look like a CEO now."

Chen Shuyu lifted her chin slightly.

"I am one, by definition."

Su Qingxue glanced at her and suddenly asked, "Do you have any suggestions regarding the service Robots?"

Chen Shuyu put down her drink and thought seriously.

"The basic services are already very mature."

"But we could continue to add emotional recognition."

"For example, children crying, elderly people with limited mobility, couples arguing, or customers anxious about queuing—all can be given different responses."

Hearing "couples arguing," Wang Peng immediately perked up.

"Can the Robots even break up fights?"

Chen Shuyu glanced at him.

"Not break up fights."

"It's about reducing the probability of conflict escalation."

"For example, when couples are arguing, the Robot shouldn't rashly interrupt."

"But it can recommend quiet areas through the desktop system, or remind them if they need to delay serving the meal."

"When elderly people have limited mobility, the Robot can proactively adjust its route to reduce obstacles around the table."

"When children are crying, it can switch to a softer prompt tone or recommend interactive children's projections."

"When customers are anxious about queuing, the system can transparently display the estimated waiting time instead of letting people wait aimlessly."

Lu Li listened, his eyes moving slightly.

This suggestion was indeed valuable.

It had to be said that Chen Shuyu had made great progress; she used to just be a secretary learning beside Su Qingxue.

Now, in charge of the Robot Company, she was becoming more and more like a leader, and the suggestions she gave were very valuable.

The next stage of Robot service isn't just about completing tasks.

It's about understanding the scene.

They must know when to approach, when to move away, when to remind, and when to remain silent.

Lu Li nodded.

"Write that down."

Xu Wenzhou immediately recorded it on the side.

Chen Shuyu appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly, she felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

Although she was already the CEO of the Robot Company, every time she proposed technical suggestions in front of Lu Li, she still felt an inexplicable pressure.

After all, this guy's brain was simply not like a normal person's.

Sometimes she would just propose a direction, and Lu Li could directly point out the problems that might be encountered in the next three generations of products.

This feeling was very discouraging.

Now, being able to get a "Write that down" from Lu Li already showed that this suggestion wasn't stupid.

Su Qingxue looked at Chen Shuyu, her eyes filled with a hint of a smile.

"You look like a real CEO now."

Chen Shuyu's expression stiffened.

"I am one, by definition."

Wang Peng bit into his Low-Sauce Burger and said indistinctly, "But Sister Chen used to be more like a gaming-addicted girl."

The air went quiet for a moment.

Chen Shuyu slowly turned her head to look at Wang Peng.

Her eyes were very cold.

Wang Peng stiffened and immediately lowered his head to eat his burger.

"I didn't say anything."

Lu Yaoguang was laughing uncontrollably next to them.

Su Qingxue couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of her lips.

The meal didn't last long.

But everyone had a pretty good experience at the McDonalds Future Flagship Store.

It didn't turn the so-called sense of the future into flamboyant gimmicks.

Instead, it truly settled into details like ordering, permissions, nutrition, service, queuing, Robots, and user preferences.

This was actually more convincing than grand promotional slogans.

Because ordinary people won't care about Anti-gravity cores every day.

They won't stand on flight platforms overlooking the city every day either.

But they do eat.

They do buy things.

They do take care of children.

They do rush for time.

They do get anxious about queuing, and they do get annoyed when they can't find a waiter.

If Guanghui Technology can handle these small matters well, only then will ordinary people truly feel that the future is not an empty concept, but has already entered their lives.

After finishing, Chen Shuyu looked at the service Robots moving back and forth in the store and suddenly said, "Actually, we can livestream now."

Xu Wenzhou was taken aback.

"What does President Chen mean?"

Chen Shuyu looked at Lu Li and Su Qingxue.

"The smart shop experience is already mature enough."

"High-frequency life scenes like McDonalds are easier for the audience to relate to than simply showcasing flight vehicles."

"The Xingyan S1 is still trending, and Guanghui Technology's popularity is at its peak."

"If we take the opportunity to announce the smart city, it will create continuous explosive points."

Lu Yaoguang also nodded subconsciously.

As a journalism student, she was very sensitive to the rhythm of dissemination.

Chen Shuyu's words were indeed correct.

The Xingyan S1 had just pushed female consumption, beauty technology, and personal image management onto the hot search.

Following up with the smart city now would be equivalent to expanding "personal future life" into "an entire future city."

The dissemination effect would be absolutely explosive.

Wang Peng became even more excited immediately.

"Let's livestream, bro!"

"Really."

"Just let me take my phone and film for ten minutes."

"I guarantee, the whole internet will explode."

Lu Yaoguang rolled her eyes.

"You guarantee?"

"What are you guaranteeing with?"

Wang Peng patted his chest.

"With my reputation as a future scientist."

Chen Shuyu said coldly, "Your greatest reputation right now is being a victim of the Low-Sauce Burger, and you're clearly just trying to gain followers for your own account, right?"

Wang Peng: "..."

Lu Li was not led astray by them.

He picked up a tissue from the table to wipe his hands, his tone calm.

"Self-inspection first."

Chen Shuyu was taken aback.

Lu Li continued, "The more something is prepared for public display, the less we can just look at the best side."

"The McDonalds experience is good, but that doesn't mean the whole commercial street has no problems."

"We aren't here to promote today."

"We are here to find problems."

Su Qingxue nodded.

She knew Lu Li too well.

Lu Li could be dismissive of external doubts.

He could also be nonchalant when facing competitors.

But he had extremely low tolerance for flaws in his own products and projects.

Especially for projects like this that would affect the experience of ordinary users.

In Lu Li's view, if technology is immature, it can continue to iterate.

But if you know there's a problem and are still in a rush to display it publicly, that is just stupid.
