Chapter 915 I’m Off!
These people’s influence had spread throughout Styre University. She could meet them even on her way to the cafeteria, which was a terrifying situation.
After shaking off the person, Catherine continued toward the cafeteria. Once there, she quietly sat down to eat. She knew she was being watched, but she acted freely, not feeling like someone under surveillance. After finishing her lunch, she left the cafeteria.
Back at the laboratory, Catherine messaged Cloude. [Let’s meet up!]
Soon, Cloude replied, [Sure, you pick the time and place!]
Seeing the message, Catherine was a bit surprised that he would make her pick the time and place Was it because he was generous, or he wasn’t worried she might set a trap?
Looking at the text on her phone screen, Catherine absentmindedly tapped her desk. After a moment, she had an idea. She replied, arranging to meet at a cybercafe at 7 p.m.
Once she dealt with everything, Catherine tossed her phone into a drawer and began a new round of work.
At the Red Star Laboratory, all the researchers were working overtime. Their biggest project at the moment was the development of the seventh- generation chip. However, they had been unable to overcome the crucial technical hurdle, failing to complete the final step of the experiment.
Just now, they had failed again. If they continued like this, it wouldn’t be long before the outside world discovered that they hadn’t succeeded in the experiment. With only three months left, if they couldn’t demonstrate at the upcoming conference, all their previous work would be in vain.
People were superficial. They wouldn’t see how many patent barriers they had overcome; they only cared about the results.
Upon hearing the report from the team, the head of the research group sighed helplessly. “Well, experiments always involve failure before success. If you succeeded right away, you might have worried about making a mistake! Come on, guys. You can do it!” After some encouragement, everyone felt better.
At that moment, Cory walked in. He had received an email from the Arbotte Laboratory, a renowned research facility, specifically regarding the seventh-generation chip experiment.
The team leader, Lance Broadman, immediately put aside his work and took the material from Cory.
The Arbotte Laboratory, like the Red Star Laboratory, was among the world’s top facilities, and their research directions had been similar in recent years. The sudden message from the Arbotte Laboratory’s head was definitely significant.
Without hesitating, Lance opened the email in front of Cory, afraid of any suspicion. However, Cory didn’t mind at all, knowing it was from the Arbotte Laboratory. He hadn’t even checked it before handing it to Lance. After all, the person behind the Arbotte Laboratory was so important to Branden. If she made a request, he would give the entire laboratory to her.
After opening the email, Lance carefully read the material inside and became increasingly excited. Cory noticed his change in mood and asked what was going on.
Lance, excitedly holding the email, handed it to Cory, saying, “Take a look, Arbotte Laboratory has sent us something good.”
For days, he had been unable to break through a certain question in his mind. However, upon seeing the analysis material from Arbotte Laboratory, he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment. “Cory, Arbotte Laboratory has really come to our aid. They have provided us with new solutions to the problems we are currently facing! This is of great help to us, it’s like a godsend! With the assistance of this material, we have a good chance of overcoming the current bottleneck.”
After expressing his excitement, Lance suddenly realized something was amiss. He looked at Cory, his eyes filled with concern. “Do you think this might be a scam?”
This surprise was almost unbelievable, like winning the lottery. As a laboratory, although they had not directly competed, they were technically competitors. The core information provided by Arbotte Laboratory was too valuable. How could they easily share it? Perhaps this was a trap.
With these thoughts in mind, Lance remained very worried.
Cory, seeing this, reached out and patted his shoulder. “Don’t worry. Arbotte Laboratory won’t deceive us. You can use this material with confidence!”
Seeing Cory’s confident demeanor, Lance couldn’t help but feel curious.” So, is Arbotte Laboratory also under Branden’s control?” He was surprised. If his guess was correct, it would be quite a frightening thing for a young and world-renowned president like Branden to have control over Arbotte Laboratory.
“Not exactly,” Cory said slowly.
Lance breathed a sigh of relief, but then Cory added, “Only half, because in the future, my family will be connected to Catherine’s family through marriage. At that time, Arbotte Laboratory will be considered half of the Duncan family’s assets.”
“Really?” Lance was astonished.
Cory patted his shoulder and said, ” Don’t worry. The information is one hundred percent real. I’ll go report the situation to Branden.”
“Catherine, are you going to meet that person again?” Ronin became agitated upon learning that Catherine had made an appointment with Cloude.
Catherine remained composed. “It’s just a meeting, not a showdown. Why are you getting worked up?”
Ronin frowned, looking very conflicted. “Catherine, that person is so cunning. I’m afraid he’ll deceive you. Maybe we shouldn’t go. I’m worried…”
Facing Ronin’s concerns, Catherine looked down at him with a commanding gaze. “Throughout our lives, we have encountered numerous deceitful people!”
Ronin thought about it and found some truth in her words, but before he could say anything, Catherine had already made a decision. She hopped onto her motorcycle and waved casually at Ronin. “I’m off!”
