Andres rejected Hans's suggestion.
"I believe Maeve will definitely be the star of today."
Experience had taught him time and again that wherever she went, everyone else was relegated to the background.
Watching Anya eloquently introduce her work on screen, Andres couldn't help but ask, "Her reputation took a massive hit recently. How does she still have so many supporters in the comments?"
A washed-up internet celebrity whose dark secrets had been exposed to the world.
The fact that someone like her still had defenders truly baffled him.
Hans explained, "Sometimes, netizens have the memory of a goldfish."
"Besides, when real talent is displayed, people tend to look through rose-tinted glasses."
"Don't forget, in the tech world, Anya isn't a clueless novice. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been internally selected by the company back then."
"From what I know, she gathered a lot of enthusiasts to form private groups, and she often tutors newbies there."
"If there are people tearing her down, there are naturally people backing her up."
Hans glanced at the scrolling comments on the big screen.
"It's also highly possible that a portion of these users praising her are paid bots hired to control the narrative."
Knowing that hiring online armies was a classic Morales family tactic, Andres found Anya even more repulsive.
After a long wait, the segment focusing on Anya finally concluded.
On screen, the beautiful host, Shawna Lynn, led her camera crew toward booth number six.
As the lens shifted, it was finally Maeve's turn.
When Maeve's breathtaking, god-kissed face appeared on screen, the comment section exploded.
M116: Did I enter the wrong stream? That's an absolute goddess. Are we sure this is a tech expo and not a beauty pageant?
"I'm sure the audience at home is eager to see which of the two smart robots is more popular."
The cameraman quickly panned from Maeve's face to her exhibit.
Seeing the ultra-realistic robot on screen, the tech enthusiasts in the chat started spamming.
Physics Is Easy: Is that robot real? It looks exactly like a human.
Innocence: The robot's skin looks so soft and fair. I suddenly have a bold idea.
First Love's the Sweetest: You uncultured swines, have you never heard of simulation silicone?
No More Cola: Can someone explain why robot number six isn't doing anything? Did it crash?
Prompted by "No More Cola," the crowd finally realized something.
Compared to Anya's dynamic model, booth six's entry seemed to have nothing going for it except a superior outward appearance.
