Chapter 420

Author: Cloudsearcher
When Celeste saw Howard, there wasn't a trace of surprise on her face.

The city's smart traffic project was crucial to the Locket family's tech company, and yet she had swooped in at the last moment and taken it. How could they possibly sit still and do nothing?

Now that the bidding had ended and the project was in YodaVision's hands, there was no way the Locket family could snatch it back.

So, if she guessed correctly, Howard had come to see her to prevent similar things from happening again in the future.

And how would he try to persuade her?

By appealing to emotion, of course. Because that would cost nothing.

This is dragging out way too long! Answer some questions like how did Celeste trick tree or and what does miles really do, remember when he hijacked her and had been shot? I’m enjoying the story but needs more substance and if you released more chapters I might spend more money to get access!

    It wasn't just Wynn and Howard. When the other bidders saw Celeste and Matthias, they more or less realized that all their efforts had likely been for nothing.And that was exactly the case.As everyone waited, the results were quickly announced. The smart traffic project was awarded to YodaVision.Celeste and Matthias weren't surprised at all by the outcome. They had more important matters to attend to and had no intention of lingering.As the two of them walked past Howard and Wynn without even sparing them a glance, the expressions on the father and daughter's faces—which were already grim—grew even darker.Since moving to Baumond, the Locket family's company had been running fairly well thanks to Trevor's support.Because of Wynn's connection to him, many people in their social circle were aware of their company.However, that recognition was mostly limited to within their circle. They had yet to establish a solid reputation on a broader, public level.The main reason for t

"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

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
