Chapter 282: Setting a Trap
Regarding Mia’s unfriendliness, others chose to turn a blind eye, especially Sylvia, who didn’t take it seriously at all. To him, Mia seemed more like a pampered little girl from a wealthy family. Such girls didn’t need much attention in his eyes.
“Alright, guests, welcome to our show. You should already know the theme of this episode: we’re going to collaborate with a research institute. This institute is one of the top-notch research facilities, with highly skilled staff. Our task is to assist them and complete their daily tasks. Besides that, there may be additional tasks.”
After the director finished speaking, there was a chorus of groans. They were entertainers, not researchers. Making them work in a research institute as assistants felt like torture. And if they were successful in assisting, it might hinder their careers in the entertainment industry.
Some groaned, some remained expressionless, and Sylvia was one of them.
“Alright, no more talk. Let’s get started. First, let me introduce everyone.”
The director led them into the laboratory, where several people were already there to greet them. Clearly, this had been arranged in advance. Although these researchers were somewhat reluctant to have their daily lives disrupted, they had to come.
Seeing their unwillingness but still having to greet them, Sylvia couldn’t help but feel curious. How did they end up agreeing to participate? “Because we’re broke.” Ads by PubFuture
Such a simple reason. Project research requires a lot of money, and without funding, their projects would grind to a halt. Clearly, they were in a financial bind, which was why they reluctantly agreed to the arrangement by the production team. Despite their reluctance, they had to stand here and act as tools.
Sylvia glanced at Balk, feeling that all this had been planned by Balk and Bruce. They must have known they were short of manpower, so after learning about their situation, they immediately invested money and sent her over to do these things.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
“Sis, why are you looking at me like that? What I said is true. They really agreed because they’re broke. And when I got this information, the show was already being prepared. So our appearance is just adding to the mix. Moreover, if this project is successful, there will be no shortage of people giving them titles. And you’ve practically poached them. Well, not exactly poached, more like seconded, right?”
After giving it some serious thought, Balk nodded, feeling that what he said was perfectly reasonable. Sylvia’s lips twitched, but she didn’t say anything.
After all, laboratory work was not their forte, so these guests stumbled at the beginning. In order to complete a project, they had to cooperate. The laboratory staff sighed incessantly, regretting that they had allowed themselves to be so troubled for the sake of money, and they weren’t sure if today’s work could be completed smoothly.
“Hello, I’m Sylvia, and my brother is Dewitt. He sent me here to say hello to you all.”
During a break, Sylvia approached
these researchers to greet them.
When they heard Sylvia’s name, they felt a bit familiar, but when they heard Dewitt’s name, their eyes lit up instantly. They stood up eagerly and looked at Sylvia excitedly. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org Ads by PubFuture

“We know you! You’re Dewitt’s sister, right? Dewitt used to boast to us all the time about having a very beautifuKand smart sister. So it’s you! By the way, since you’re here, will Dewitt come too? To be honest, you guys have delayed our research progress.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Seeing the researchers’ excited faces, Sylvia was rare at a loss for words for a moment. Then she explained the current situation to them seriously.
“My brother is currently helping me with artificial intelligence development He used to work here and knows how capable you all are so he sent me over to communicate with you and see if you’re willing to come with me. My brother is mainly working on medical-related artificial intelligence development. Your Al projects are very impressive. If you’re willing to come with me, I
think my brother would be very happy to cooperate with you again.”

At this point, the camera was focused on the guests, but there was also a camera on Sylvia. Hearing Sylvia talking to these researchers, both the guests and the researchers were stunned.
Yes, they came here to work, so they were doing research. But Sylvia’s reason for coming here was also for work, just to poach these researchers.
“Of course, we can’t give you an answer on this right away. Let’s discuss with the director, and we’ll give you an answer tomorrow. Is that okay?” These researchers were quite tempted. Their current projects were indeed impressive, but if they could collaborate with Dewitt, it would be even better.
“Okay, we’ll wait for your answer.”
After saying this to them, Sylvia returned to her position and continued to be busy. The people around her stared at Sylvia, looking incredulous. After noticing their expressions, Sylvia turned and asked, “What’s wrong?”
The guests shook their heads and continued with their work. They knew that a reality show featuring an heiress wasn’t that simple. The main purpose was to poach talent.
