Xiaoyu's voice chimed in Katrina's mind again, this time with a new target.
"Host host! That guy with glasses is Chen Lin! When he was ten years old, he tried to impress his crush by stealing her cat and bringing it to school as his 'pet project' but forgot to feed it all day and it meowed so loudly the teacher thought someone was being tortured!"
Katrina's shoulders shook with suppressed laughter as she pretended to study the intricate patterns on her pastry plate. Across from her, Chen Lin shifted uncomfortably in his seat, his glasses slipping down his nose slightly.
"Hey Xing," Li Wei said, leaning forward with renewed interest.
"Your sister seems like she's got some good stories herself."
"Shhh!"
[Wait wait how does Li Wei die] Katrina frowned as she looked at the system screen in front of her.
[Oh no poor Li Wei dying in the water being to the sharks? Because of that two face girlfriend of his he is dating not only is his girlfriend sleeping with eight guys right now but she likes playing around. Anyway not only does she turn her back on Li Wei but also the ugly fat mafia guy to cripple him and threw him into the tea. That is how he dies. Forget it I am tired with gossip.] Katrina sighed.
Katrina walked to the bathroom and after peeing she grabbed the soap and washed her hands. Her eyes glowed slightly seeing a little few seconds of the future Katrina who was calm walked outside. Xing sat up when he saw Katrina.
[Damn it brother so called best friend will be in trouble and because of that, that is how Xing will be crippled. Just because this so called friend turn his head not caring. When brother became crippled that friend ah yes yes Alex Wong, not only did not visit brother when he was at his lowest but also humiliating him and always finding ways to make him lose hope. Such a disgusting person so disgusting. I should take my brother away from here in five minutes a fight will break out.] Katrina sighed as she shook her head and frowned how can she ask her brother to go home. She smiled brightly.
"Ah brother brother I need to go home think my period is here!" Katrina whined. Xing smiled at Katrina if he couldn't hear Katrina inner monologue he would believe she was actually in pain her acting is so good.
"Little sister Kat next time we meet we will bring presents."
Katrina eyes sparked with excitement.
"Thank you my brothers thank hehe!" Katrina said as Xing dragged Katrina away.
The Cyber Rose Technology Industry Association – TCRTIA – sprang to life on the holographic display. It was an organization founded by her, a fact that still felt surreal even after all this time. It had rapidly become one of the largest technology companies across the world, even surpassing giants like Amazon and other established tech corporations.
No one knew who the owner of this company truly was. The mystery surrounding TCRTIA's leadership was a carefully cultivated secret, adding to its mystique and power. One would be utterly shocked to discover that it was a seventeenyearold girl who owned and controlled this global empire—a girl known only as Ria, the enigmatic figurehead behind TCRTIA.
"This is one of the most powerful technologies companies! It makes cars, helicopters, rvs, trucks, sport cars, it has it all as you know we are in 2345 and we have self driving cars this a whole new life. This company is all over the world worth over 90.8 trillion. This is one of the headquarters," Xing said as he parked the car. Katrina did not say a word after all this company it was her company she was the founder of this company not shocked at all but she gasped as if she knew nothing.
The Cyber Rose Technology Industry Association (TCRTIA) building stood as a monolithic masterpiece of modern architecture, a testament to human ingenuity and ambition. Its 90 floors stretched towards the heavens, each level a testament to technological prowess and visionary design.
The exterior was crafted from seamless sheets of smoked black glass that reflected the cityscape around it like a dark mirror. The glass surfaces were not uniform but faceted, catching light at different angles and creating an optical illusion of movement even when stationary.
At ground level, a sleek plaza of polished white marble extended out from the main entrance.
At ground level, a sleek plaza of polished white marble extended out from the main entrance, dotted with sculptural benches designed to resemble abstract flower petals. A holographic display above the entrance pulsed with the TCRTIA logo a stylized cyber rose with metallic thorns its colors shifting between blue, purple, and silver.
Inside, the lobby was an openair atrium with a ceiling of reinforced glass panels that offered an unobstructed view of the sky. Water cascaded down a massive stone wall in the center, its flow controlled by invisible sensors to create mesmerizing patterns.
"Welcome to TCRTIA headquarters," a holographic receptionist greeted them as they approached the main desk.
The holographic receptionist, a sleek avatar with silver hair and glowing eyes, materialized from the air as Xing approached the main desk. Its voice was a calm, synthesized tone that filled the vast lobby space.
"Welcome to TCRTIA headquarters. How may I assist you today?"
Xing stepped forward confidently, his expensive shoes clicking against the polished marble floor.
"Good afternoon. I'm Xing Fuji, we here to buy the new computers, phones, Bluetooth earbuds, headphones, and iPad."
Xing new the first three floors customers can go other then that no one else can. Even he can't do it, only having an appointment or working can go to fourth floor.
The holographic receptionist's glowing eyes shifted toward Katrina as she stood beside Xing, her golden eyes taking in every detail of the massive lobby. The waterfall wall behind the desk cascaded down in perfect synchronization, each droplet catching the ambient light in a mesmerizing display.
"Your name please," the avatar said, its voice maintaining a perfect cadence despite the presence of two teenagers in its domain.
Xing glanced at Katrina expectantly, waiting for her to respond. The lobby was empty save for them, creating an echo chamber effect for their voices.
"She's my sister," Xing explained quickly.
"Katrina Fuji."
The receptionist's avatar flickered for a fraction of a second before processing the name.
