Ma Lin's massage robot was called Mina. It was a black metallic frame with a full sense of technological beauty.
Its massage capabilities were beloved by all who experienced them.
It would greet Ma Lin's visitors outside his office, expertly kneading shoulders and arms.
Guests with time to spare could lie down and ask for a back massage.
Just a few minutes of kneading seemed to fix whatever ailed them.
Naturally, it could also knead feet, providing such comfort that one felt decades younger.
Its physical structure and internal software were all designed by Rui Lan.
"This is the most outstanding massage robot I've ever produced, and the only one of its kind. It's no good at anything else, but when it comes to massages, it's peerless. I thought out of all the people I know, you would be the one who could use it, humans like these sorts of things," Rui Lan was right.
In many ways, Rui Lan was often right and had been a great help to Ma Lin in the past.
