Moreover, by temporarily diverting Darlena, who has the power to evaluate the maids' work, Jun can take this opportunity to finish all the housework. Without Darlena watching over her, she can stumble and fall as she pleases, as long as she doesn't hurt herself.
Walking on the cloudy streets, you can feel the scorching heat from the ultraviolet rays. Fortunately, the temperature is not too hot now. Based on experience, in about a month or so, we will see a sudden seasonal drop in temperature.
"Dalena, did you come here dressed as a maid? Did you take the city cruise?" Chu Yinan led the way, having somewhat regained his rhythm of asking random questions without feeling embarrassed.
Perhaps because he knew her fierce appearance was largely due to her farsightedness, Chu Yinan suddenly felt that she wasn't so fierce after all.
"Yes, unless I'm dealing with company business, I always wear a maid outfit on the artificial island; it's also my work attire."
In fact, within just a few minutes of stepping out of the residential area, Dalena's attire had already attracted a lot of attention. Even the elderly residents passing by greeted Chu Yinan, saying, "Little Chu Yinan, why did you change your maid again today?"
Darlene herself didn't care about such things at all, and thought it was only natural to dress like this.
However, even after spending so much time with Delia and Chun on the streets, Chu Yinan still couldn't get used to these stares. At most, he would pretend not to care. He felt that the maids of Glory Island were terrifying creatures who weren't afraid of any strange looks or humiliating performances!
"Why does the young master think I came here by boat?"
"I'm guessing, because you can't park here even if you drive, and the community parking lot isn't open to the public. You said you'd be here all day, so you don't want parking to be a problem for you. The most convenient way is to take a boat. Once you leave Rongguang Island, you don't need to transfer much; you can get here directly by boat, although it takes a bit more time."
Darlena hadn't expected that the little guy's casual guess had so much thought behind it, so she followed up on the topic and got to know him better.
"Why didn't the young master think that I parked the car in a parking lot that was quite far away and then walked over?"
"Because you didn't bring your car keys! I didn't even hear the key ring."
The existence of car keys is quite funny, because iris recognition and facial recognition technologies are now quite mature, and these unlocking methods are standard equipment for cars, so it doesn't matter if you lose your car keys.
But once you buy a car, you'll still get an extra set of car keys. Why? Naturally, it's so you can show off your beloved car keys when you go out to eat with friends.
If the car is a luxury car, then the car key is equivalent to a luxury watch or handbag—a status symbol for showing off wealth. Car manufacturers mostly consider this need for prestige, which is why they still include car keys and custom keychains.
"So that's what you were thinking. You guessed right. I came by boat, but I also brought my car keys."
The black-haired maid quickly reached her hand under her skirt, her movements light and unhurried, but if you weren't paying attention, you wouldn't even notice her doing this; it was as if she were just patting the hem of her skirt.
She took out a string of keychains, all from different luxury car manufacturers, and they were different from the keychains available on the market, so they were probably custom-made.
"These keychains are very lightweight. They were custom-made for the Leffe family by the manufacturer. With them, you can pick up a car at any dealership."
Putting aside whether pulling out a luxury car keychain without saying a word is showing off your wealth, why is it possible to hide this thing in your skirt?
Chu Yinan touched the keychain in her hand; it was still warm from her body heat, a genuine item, not some projection. He was a little confused.
"Is this something you put under your skirt?"
"Yes, because maid outfits don't have pockets designed on the outside, so you can only store some essential small items under the skirt."
"I see."
Chu Yinan felt puzzled. He had crawled under Chun's skirt before and didn't seem to have seen any pockets.
Never mind, it's not important.
It's perfectly normal to find anything under a girl's skirt, even a large penis.
Darlena followed next to Chu Yinan, but was slightly behind him by half a step. This was a basic rule; even when leading the way, one could only walk in front and not side by side.
Although this young master's legs are still developing... you don't feel like you have to accommodate his pace when you actually walk with him. He walks quite fast, and his light steps look a bit like he's hopping, which is quite cute.
Suddenly, Chu Yinan grabbed Darlena's hand and pulled her to stand beside him.
"We're about to cross the street. I'll lead you. Don't worry about not being able to see clearly. The light is red now, let's wait another half a minute."
I'm farsighted, not blind...
Why does it feel like the young master thinks I'm blind?
The head maid was a little uncomfortable with someone holding her hand like this for the first time, but seeing that Chu Yinan's small hand was struggling to hold hers, she held his hand back.
"Where is the young master planning to go for a walk?"
“Let’s go to the commercial area ahead and I’ll get you a pair of glasses, otherwise your eyes look too fierce. By the way, don’t call me ‘Young Master’ anymore. Actually, you don’t need to call me that at home, just call me by my name. I’ve been calling you Darlena for a while now. If you’re in a crowded place like the commercial area and you still call me that, it’s a little… embarrassing.”
Chu Yinan looked at her very seriously, wanting her to understand that he really wasn't joking, but he wasn't sure if Darlena would agree.
She will listen to her master, but she is also very disciplined, and may not be as easy to talk to as Delia and the others.
“Shouting like that outside will cause me trouble. What if people think I’m a pervert?” Chu Yinan added.
Whether I personally care or not, the key is not to let others know!
"Okay, but it's impolite to call someone by their first name."
Chu Yinan felt she had a chance. When they went into the glasses shop, she called him "Young Master, Young Master," not knowing how the shop assistants would react.
"So just call me Xiao Chunan, like Chun does. I didn't really like this nickname before, but I'm used to it now. If you call me anything else, I feel weird."
“Alright.” Darlena stared at him, her eyes sharpening again. “Young Master, you just said that Chun calls you ‘Little Chu Nan’ in private? I didn’t mishear, did I?”
The white-haired maid, who was busy cleaning at home, suddenly sneezed and fell to the ground. The spilled water soaked her clothes, and her white silk stockings were soaked through, revealing her flesh color.
Why do I have this feeling that disaster is about to strike?
Chapter 38 Darlena (Glasses Girl Only)
"Don't worry about those details. I'm the one who told them to call me that. It would be too uncomfortable if they called me that so formally in private." Chu Yinan quickly covered for Chun. "If I told them to call me by my name and they still used honorifics, wouldn't that be the one who doesn't know the rules?"
Darlena nodded: "Okay, then I won't pursue the matter of purity."
Chu Yinan felt that he was gradually grasping the logic of his conversations with Darlene. Whenever something conflicted with the rules, as long as he emphasized, "I am the rule, and I require it to be done this way," there would generally be no problem.
After crossing the pedestrian crossing, the number of pedestrians increased noticeably. This area is still just a small commercial plaza in a residential area, but thanks to the large number of nearby residential areas, the foot traffic is not too meager.
The pedestrians were dressed in fashionable and trendy clothes. Some men had shaved half of their foreheads and grew a braid, while some women wore tight-fitting bodysuits that looked like they weren't wearing underwear or even nipple covers. The nipples on their clothes were quite noticeable. I wonder how they manage to use the restroom in those clothes.
This kind of trendy thing doesn't really resonate with people south of Chu, and they can't even understand it.
Looking at it this way, it's not strange at all that Darlene is wearing a maid outfit on the street; it's perfectly normal.
The eyeglasses store is located on the ground floor of a commercial area; it's just a short walk across the street.
Upon entering the store, the staff greeted her and offered assistance. Their gaze lingered on Dalena for a few seconds, partly guessing her profession and partly admiring her looks and figure.
"Is there anything I can do to help you two?"
"I need glasses, frames and lenses, for farsightedness," Chu Yinan said, holding the head maid's hand.
"Please sit over there, little one, we'll test your eyes." The shop assistant gestured for Chu Yinan to sit down, then went to pour him some tea.
Chu Yinan was a little puzzled. Apart from being face-blind, how do my bright eyes look like those of someone who is farsighted?
Moreover, that warm "Little friend~" really made him lose his temper.
"It wasn't me, it was her who needed glasses."
The shop assistant gave an apologetic smile, but was secretly quite surprised.
Generally, when an older woman and a younger woman come to an eyeglasses store, it's usually the parents who bring the child. But this couple looked like the child was bringing the parents. Moreover, the tall woman didn't say anything after she came in, giving the impression that she was "doing whatever the child wanted."
Darlena sat in front of the device to have her prescription checked. Actually, she didn't really need glasses. After crossing the street, she tried to persuade Chu Yinan not to help her with her glasses, but the little one insisted on coming. Considering Miss Morgan's instructions, she didn't refuse again.
However, she was also curious about how she would look with glasses. The Leffe family did not have any requirements for the servants' eyesight, but according to the general dressing habits that had been passed down, it was best to wear contact lenses.
Chu Yinan stood next to her waiting for the test results. Usually, you have to have your eyes tested first, choose the material of the lenses, and then choose the frames while waiting for the lenses to be ground.
Bored while standing to the side, he naturally struck up a conversation with Darlene: "Most people are nearsighted, how did Darlene become farsighted? Was it congenital?"
As far as Chu Yinan knew, nearsightedness could be congenital or acquired, but it was more common due to neglecting eye care. Farsightedness, on the other hand, was generally caused by incomplete eyeball development, and was more common in children, but it would gradually improve as they grew.
"Maybe? But I think it's because I used to look at guns through the scope too much."
"Oh." Chu Yinan didn't ask any more questions, sensing that the maids in the Lefie family all possessed some fighting skills.
No, that's not right. He has absolutely no combat power, and even if he did, it would most likely be negative.
The vision test didn't take too long, but the multiple tests were a bit cumbersome. After waiting for about five minutes, a staff member came over to ask about the lenses.
"What type of lenses do you need? Our store offers six grades of lenses."
Is that even a question? Of course, you should buy whatever is most expensive! When it comes to lenses, it's best not to worry about cost-effectiveness. I don't know if the most expensive one is overpriced, but you can't go wrong by buying the most expensive one.
But that would be too corny. Chu Yinan took the tablet from the clerk, looked at the menu, and wondered why the clerk said there were only six types of lenses when there were seven. Had the clerk made a slip of the tongue?
He pretended to be seriously comparing the products, pointing to the most expensive lens and saying:
"I want the one with the best... the best craftsmanship. When it comes to something like the eyes, you can't skimp on the money."
And the most expensive one isn't actually that expensive; it's only slightly more expensive than spending real money on a single purchase.
Damn it, why do I feel it's a good deal to spend money on a single purchase, but suddenly feel it's a bit pricey when buying something as practical as a pair of lenses?
The salesperson explained with difficulty, "I'm sorry, we don't have lenses made of this material. Industry regulations require us to list lenses that are available on the market on the menu, but that particular one uses a new generation of lens material developed by AI, and almost no store can obtain authorization for it."
Turing Tower even made lenses? I had no idea!
Chu Yinan glanced at the name of the lens. Outsiders might not understand its meaning, but he was very familiar with the translation of this kind of code. It usually indicated the date of development.
"These are products developed four years ago, how can they still be considered the new generation..." he muttered to himself, then sat down on the stool next to Dalena and made a phone call to Fuxi.
"Hey, can you authorize the lens? I need to make glasses for my maid sister~ the 'new generation' model that you guys issued."
Darlena, Morgan's secretary and maid, had heard some things about Chu Yinan and knew about his relationship with Turing Tower. Now, hearing Chu Yinan's quiet phone call, she looked away from the camera lens and whispered:
"Little Chu Nan, there's no need to go to such trouble."
"It's nothing, I'll whisper a trade secret to you."
Chu Yinan gestured for her to whisper. Darlena leaned down, lowering her ear so that Chu Yinan could easily touch it. Chu Yinan leaned in and whispered:
"These lenses are made using technology that my AI assistants used to work with, so it's not a hassle."
The shop assistant didn't hear what Chu Yinan whispered, but she did overhear him calling to ask for authorization.
However, I didn't take it to heart, thinking it was just a childish trick. Even in any optical shop, I wouldn't easily believe it.
Turing Tower's technology licenses are notoriously difficult to obtain. It is said that a long time ago, many industries suppressed Turing Tower's technological research. However, nowadays, those industry giants are begging Turing Tower, but they probably won't even get a reply to an email.
If they actually get the lens license, then basically all the optical shops in the lens market will have to close down. People without vision problems will all rush to buy a few pairs of glasses as souvenirs.
Two minutes later, a scream suddenly came from the workshop where the lenses were being ground. A man wearing special work goggles rushed out, shouting with overjoyed excitement, disregarding his earlier embarrassment:
"Turing Tower's AI suddenly authorized our store to manufacture 3,000 different lenses, and they'll be arriving soon! Wow! I thought it was fake news at first, but after checking, I realized it's true. I have to call my colleagues and brag about it! I'm posting this now!"
The shop assistant blinked, completely bewildered by the sudden turn of events. Rather than celebrating with the shop manager, who also handled lenses, she stared incredulously at the little boy talking to the maid.
Is this a coincidence or something...? Such valuable authorization could be obtained with just one phone call?!
