Grace smiled and agreed. "Sure, let's find some time to talk about it."However, Matthew seemed a bit impatient.Working with Futurelink and Amirate—two of Pamore's top companies—was something he had always dreamed of.Additionally, although Byte Technologies showed some promise, it still faced cash flow issues.With the strong backing of Futurelink and Amirate, the future of Byte Technologies would undoubtedly be bright."Ms. Lewis, Mr. Fulton, since we've met today, why not find a place to discuss our collaboration?"Grace and Xander exchanged a glance, both expressing their agreement.Matthew quickly ordered, "Wayne, go to the nearby hotel and book a business suite. We'll talk over there."Wayne promptly agreed. "Yes, Mr. Thorne.""Ms. Lewis, Mr. Fulton, see you there later."With a farewell, Matthew walked away with a cheerful smile.However, Grace couldn't help but feel curious. "Xander, why does it seem like Mr. Thorne is being overly enthusiastic?"Xander answered he

When Xander saw Grace, who wasn't far away, he immediately spoke into the phone. "Let's talk about this when I get back. Let's leave it at that first."He then hung up the phone.Xander walked toward Grace. "Gracie, where are you going?"Grace took a few steps forward and waved the room key card at him. "Mr. Thorne has already arranged everything. Are you done here? Let's go there now.""Okay."As soon as Xander finished speaking, he gave a wary look behind Grace. There was nothing. It was completely empty.His eyes darkened. "Gracie, you go ahead. Wait for me at the elevator."Grace was curious. "What's wrong? Xander?""It's nothing. You go ahead." Xander gave her a reassuring look.Grace followed his gaze. "Xander, what are you looking at?"Instead of replying, he just walked over. After looking around, he didn't find anything.Xander said, "Nothing. Maybe I saw it wrong."Grace had her doubts. but she didn't think too much about it.The two of them walked toward the hot

Grace nodded, explaining, "With the vigorous development of current online technology, short videos have become a hot project."Although Amirate hasn't been involved in this area before, this is a great opportunity. This is a chance for Amirate's transformation—"Before Grace could finish speaking, Samuel directly slammed the document he held onto the table. "I disagree, Ms. Lewis."As these words were said, everyone looked at each other, speechless.Grace asked, "Do you have any questions, Director Walker?"Disdainfully, Samuel smirked. "Amirate has always focused on high-end technology industries, like nanorobots, medical devices, and mining."This is our expertise, and we achieved a good result. But now you want us to venture into a new industry. Let me ask you, Ms. Lewis. How confident are you?"With Samuel's words, others echoed, "Exactly. Ms. Lewis, hastily entering a new field is indeed a challenge for us. In case it fails, Amirate's reputation will suffer.""Ms. Lewis,

With that, most of the people in the conference room suddenly changed sides."Director Walker, what do you think?" Grace threw the question to Samuel.Samuel smiled awkwardly, his lips twitching. "Since everyone agrees with you, Ms. Lewis, it seems that this project is good. I have no objection."Grace raised her eyebrows, seeming quite satisfied with the result. So she said, "Since that's the case, let's vote by raising hands."People exchanged glances and then raised their hands one after another.Even Caleb couldn't help but make a joke. "I remember I have shares in Amirate. I can also participate in the vote as a small shareholder."With that, Caleb raised his hand.The number of votes far exceeded expectations.Grace happily said, "With more than half of the votes in favor, this project is considered approved. Amirate's talent department will be officially established today."Applause echoed in the conference room.After the meeting, when everyone left the conference roo

"With the way things are going now, doesn't it indirectly confirm my relationship with Wayne?" Grace said, just as her phone dinged. After reading the text message, her eyes darkened. Zoey replied, "If you don't deny it, the public will probably take it as confirmation of your relationship with Wayne. But this might not be a bad thing. "Aren't you trying to get into content creation and creating an account? Given the heat from this incident, you could use it to attract traffic—" Before Zoey could finish, Grace immediately rejected the idea, "No." Grace's eyes were fixed on the new text message from Wayne, which was similar to what Zoey had suggested.Wayne was also a content creator. He understood the need to use traffic from the incident. The scandal involving him and Grace had gained unprecedented attention. Although they hadn't interacted much, leveraging this hype for publicity didn't seem like a bad idea to him. Thus, Wayne also intended to neither confirm nor den
