Over the next two to three days, Celeste was fully occupied with matters related to the smart traffic project.To ensure there were no flaws in her proposal, she even went out several times for on-site inspections.In the end, she successfully submitted the bidding documents before the deadline.When Matthias received the news, he smiled and texted her. "Good job."He had also been quite busy these past few days.In addition to overseeing internal affairs and the collaboration with Fleming Group, he also attended two banquets.After the banquets, several executives from autonomous vehicle companies reached out to him.He planned to gather more information about these companies before making any decisions.In the meantime, the collaboration between YodaVision and Fleming Group was going smoothly. They had already entered the next phase of cooperation.To celebrate this positive partnership, Trevor personally invited Matthias and another partner to dinner.When Matthias replied
Celeste didn't answer that question. She had asked it many times long ago.But the truth was, this world was simply unfair.That was something she had come to understand a long time ago.So, she had long since stopped asking.Back then, she had no power to stop anything. But now—She and Matthias were both aware of the city's smart traffic project. It was indeed a solid opportunity.However, YodaVision's reputation was soaring, and they already had better projects in hand, leaving them stretched. So at the time, neither of them had planned to bid on it.But now…After hanging up the call, Celeste went online to thoroughly study the details of the project.The goal of the project was to optimize scheduling for congested urban roads using AI algorithms and to integrate traffic monitoring, signal light networks, and other modules.The technical demands of these modules might require a lot of work and strategic planning for other companies. But for her, they posed no real difficu
Isabelle's treatment plan wouldn't be ready so soon.So, the next day, Celeste went back to work as usual after a visit to the hospital.Kevin had flown in from another province to discuss business with her and Matthias.At noon, Celeste and Matthias took Kevin out for lunch.Their collaboration was already close to being finalized. So, while on the way, Matthias asked when Kevin planned to leave.Kevin smiled and said, "I'll stay an extra two days this time, because I have another business meeting tomorrow."Matthias asked with interest, "Oh? What kind of collaboration?""It's with InnovaTech."Upon hearing that name, both Celeste's and Matthias's smiles faded slightly.Kevin didn't notice their change in expression. He was unaware of the feud between YodaVision and InnovaTech.Then, he continued, "InnovaTech made a breakthrough recently. I've heard people in the industry say their future development prospects look very promising."Yesterday, Ms. Locket from InnovaTech call
Lauren knew Martha as well.After greeting her, she turned her gaze to Celeste and smiled. "You must be Cel?"It was the first time Celeste had met Lauren. So, she respectfully replied, "Yes, I am."Lauren nodded in approval and praised, "You're very good-looking."She had already been briefed on Isabelle's condition before arriving at the hospital. However, instead of hastily issuing a treatment plan, she preferred to observe and further understand the situation before making any decisions.Celeste and Betty originally planned to accompany her the whole time and invite her for lunch at noon as a gesture of gratitude.But Lauren asked them to go home, saying she would inform them once the treatment plan was ready."As for the meal," she looked at Celeste and smiled, "there will be plenty of opportunities in the future—no rush."Since she said so, Celeste and Betty had no choice but to leave for now.After leaving the hospital, Celeste returned to work at the company, and Mar
"It's nothing." Wynn smiled, then calmly glanced at her watch and said, "It's about time. Let's go."Trevor replied, "Okay."After briefly greeting everyone in the meeting room, he turned and left with Wynn.Celeste, meanwhile, continued working with the engineers.…Celeste had been worrying about Betty's health. So, she had been staying at the Rodriguez residence ever since Isabelle's medical checkup.That night, after finishing work at Fleming Group, Celeste returned to the Rodriguez residence for dinner.Just after she finished eating, her phone lit up with a new message.It was from Caleb. "I'm heading back to base tomorrow."Celeste read the message but didn't reply.Perhaps anticipating her silence, Caleb sent another message a moment later. "See you in a month."This was his way of telling her that he would start pursuing her officially once she got divorced.Celeste understood what he meant, but still didn't reply.She set her phone down and was about to flip thro
Celeste didn't say anything and walked past Trevor and Jacob into the meeting room.Many people in the room had seen her talking with Trevor at the door.However, since most of them didn't know the nature of her relationship with him, they simply assumed it was a casual greeting and didn't think much of it.But Matthias was in the know.When he saw her return, he quietly asked, "Did you have a fight with him?"Celeste shook her head. "No."Even at the peak of tension and conflict between her and Trevor, they had never fought—let alone now.Fleming Group and YodaVision had just officially begun their collaboration, so Celeste ended up spending nearly the entire day at Fleming Group.That afternoon, just after 5:00 pm, a sudden cheer erupted from the meeting room."Holy crap, it actually worked!""Huh? What happened?""Ms. Rodriguez said the model we were working on before wasn't good enough. We discussed it last week, and over the past few days, we implemented her suggestions
