Chapter192Â
“Ms. Chavez, if you have time, could you explain it to me? Or, ifÂ
it’s convenient, it would be even better if you could come andÂ
give me some hands–on guidance.”Â
As a leader, Vicente usually had people take care of his dailyÂ
affairs, so he wasn’t very familiar with many functions onÂ
mobile apps.Â
With his busy schedule, he didn’t have much time to study theseÂ
electronic products.Â
Hearing Vicente’s request, Harriet said, “Please send me yourÂ
address. I’ll upgrade the system for you, and it will be muchÂ
easier for you to use afterward, Mr. Leach.”Â
She could explain over the phone and then do a video call toÂ
teach him, but since the product had just entered the trial phaseÂ
and the system had been upgraded, it was more efficient to goÂ
in person.Â
That way, it would save time for both of them, and she couldÂ
also ask questions and record his feedback on the spot.Â
Chapter 192Â
For the other trial users, she and Jonas had done the same, especially for the older fathers and mothers–in–law–they hadÂ
each visited several times.Â
On the other end, Vicente laughed and said, “Sorry to troubleÂ
you, Ms. Chavez. I’ll send you my address, and please send meÂ
your license plate number so I can notify security.”Â
“Alright.”Â
Agreeing to Vicente’s request, Harriet sent him her license plateÂ
number.Â
Soon after, when she arrived at Vicente’s residential complex,Â
the security staff checked her license plate and let her inÂ
immediately.Â
Vicente didn’t live at the Leach’s mansion, but in a residentialÂ
complex near the Amberville administrative office area.Â
The complex was especially quiet and well–landscaped, withÂ
many rare, old trees planted throughout.Â
Security was also particularly strict. For non–resident vehicles,Â
not only did they have to register the license plate, but also the visitor’s information, who they were visiting, and the purpose ofÂ
the visit.Â
Chapter192Â
This time, Harriet was let in directly because Vicente hadÂ
notified them in advance.Â
She parked her car in a spot under the building, where theÂ
shade from the trees protected it from the sun.Â
Arriving at the building entrance, Harriet rang Vicente’s doorbell,Â
and the door opened immediately.Â
Everything about Vicente’s residential complex was moreÂ
dignified than others–even the buildings were square andÂ
imposing.Â
Taking the elevator up to Vicente’s apartment, Harriet foundÂ
that he had already opened the door for her.Â
Even so, Harriet still knocked on the door and greeted him: “Mr.Â
Leach.”Â
At that moment, Vicente came out of the kitchen, smiling as heÂ
greeted her, “Ms. Chavez, you’ve arrived. Please come in.”Â
Today, Vicente was dressed in light–colored loungewear, his hairÂ
seemingly freshly washed and casually brushed back.Â
His outfit made him look quite youthful, not as stern as usual.Â
Chapter192Â
But… his presence was still very strong.Â
Seeing him come out, Harriet stood at the door and askedÂ
softly, “Mr. Leach, do you have slippers or shoe covers forÂ
guests?”Â
Vicente walked over and said, “Let me look for some, but youÂ
don’t need to change shoes–just come in as you are.”Â
As he searched the shoe cabinet in the entryway, VicenteÂ
added, “Sorry, Ms. Chavez, the housekeeper usually takes careÂ
of these things. Why don’t you just come in?”Â
Seeing this, Harriet politely asked, “Then may I come in justÂ
wearing my socks? Do you mind?”Â
Vicente was amused. “Ms. Chavez, you don’t have to be soÂ
polite.”Â
Knowing Harriet’s personality, Vicente still found a pair ofÂ
unused, open–toed men’s cloth slippers from the shoe cabinetÂ
and said, “Ms. Chavez, will these do? I don’t think I’ve wornÂ
them before.”Â
“That’s fine, thank you, Mr. Leach.”Â
When visiting users‘ homes, Harriet and Jonas were alwaysÂ
Chapter192Â
very polite, trying not to cause any inconvenience.Â
Taking the slippers Vicente handed her, Harriet changed intoÂ
them and followed him into the living room.Â
Vicente must have just unpacked the product. The robot wasÂ
next to its box, and the coffee table was covered with theÂ
remote control and some removed parts.Â
It seemed he had indeed tinkered with it.Â
Approaching the robot, Harriet first turned it on and then said toÂ
Vicente, “Mr. Leach, the robot is almost out of battery. I’llÂ
charge it first.”Â
She then explained, “This robot uses Galaxy Innovations‘ latestÂ
wireless power technology, but it can also be operated with a cable. The system was recently upgraded, so I’ll update it now.Â
After the upgrade, it will be much easier to use.”Â
Listening to Harriet, Vicente asked, “Ms. Chavez, while the system is upgrading, can I step away for a bit and come backÂ
later?”Â
Harriet replied, “I’ll assemble the parts and upgrade the system. It should take about half an hour. Mr. Leach, you can go take care of other things, and I’ll explain the functions to you in halfÂ
Chapter192Â
an hour.”Â
