His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 952

Chapter 952 - A Few Days Left Until The End

"Don’t always depend on Bacon to do the most difficult tasks I assigned to your team," Lu Zihao scolded a member of his hacker team on the phone. "I know that he has made your work so much easier and more convenient but I didn’t borrow him from my sister—correction, I didn’t ’hire’ the kid to work for me so that all of you could be lazy! A fucking AI child is outperforming all of you! If you don’t get up your lazy asses, then what’s the point of paying all of you? I might as well give all your salaries to that money-grubbing rascal. He sure as hell can do all of your work and better!"

He stopped to listen to his subordinate’s apology and promise to work harder.

"You better all work your lazy asses harder or watch me teach each of you a lesson the next time I return to the headquarters. I don’t want to hear any more chickenshit whining about Bacon’s absence!"

After the phone call, Lu Zihao exhaled a long, frustrated breath. The truth was that it wasn’t only his subordinates who were wishing for Bacon to return to work as soon as possible. He also felt the same way and inwardly cursed his brother-in-law, Jin Liwei, for grounding the kid for a couple of days as punishment for some childish shit.

Although he agreed that the little devil needed a firm hand of discipline, he thought that grounding was too much of an outdated form of punishment and extremely inconvenient especially if the child was a highly-advanced AI.

The crisp cold air in the balcony helped clear Lu Zihao’s frustration. When he finally calmed down, he was able to view their situation from a more pragmatic point of view. It was a good thing that he realized this early that his hacker team was on the way of becoming too dependent on Bacon before it was too late and they became all useless.

This was an issue that he needed to rectify as soon as possible. He needed to think of a better division of labour among his hacker team so that nobody would rely too much on Bacon. His original intention for recruiting his AI nephew was to increase his hacker team’s overall level, not weaken it!

A dull headache began to throb around his brow area. He massaged it while thinking about the new development in one of the cases his group was investigating that involved his younger sister.

When Bacon woke him up through an insistent phone call in the middle of the night after he just managed to fall asleep post-coitus with Long Jinjing a few nights ago, he immediately agreed to the little devil’s request for assistance despite his annoyance at being disturbed. It concerned his sister, after all. She was pregnant and didn’t need to take up more work by herself.

Just when he wanted to rev up their investigations, however, his brother-in-law just had to ground Bacon. Damn the man for ruining his plans! But perhaps this was a good thing because it taught him a lesson not to rely too much on an AI for everything, especially one that didn’t belong exclusively to him. Borrowing the little devils’ term, he just hired a "freelancer".

The balcony door opened and Long Jinjing poked her head out. She immediately shivered from the cold.

"Nikolai, you’ve stayed outside for too long. Aren’t you cold? You’re not wearing a jacket, for goodness’ sake! What if you get sick?"

He already mastered his current body’s capacity and knew that it could endure this little bit of cold. However, he frowned after seeing Long Jinjing’s nose turn red. A second later, she sneezed.

"Go back inside," he told her.
