The intranet completely crashed after Elitos Corporation was hacked, and all employees had to put in
extra labor over the weekend.
The tender conference facing the entire Sea City scheduled for the day was also moved to the
afternoon .
Adina entered the lobby and saw that the staff were busy setting up the venue, and the site was even
more grand and solemn than before.
“Mr. Daugherty, this way, please.”
Adina was guided into the conference room by the manager in charge of liaisons.
The door of the meeting room was pushed open. There were already a dozen staff members seated at
the round table. The person who wore a silver mask was sitting on the main seat. An assertive aura
surrounded him.
“Mr. Earley Wynters, Ms. Daugherty has arrived.”
After respectfully reporting, the manager in charge of liaisons gestured for Adina to enter the meeting
room.
Adina’s lips pulled up into a light smile, “Mr. Earley Wynters, how are you?”
Earley pointed to the closest seat at him and said, “Please
have a seat.”
Adina calmly walked over. Serene also pulled a chair and sat down behind Adina.
Because she was too close to Earley, Serene inexplicably felt nervous, and her palms were sweating,
but when she saw Adina’s calm face, she eventually calmed down, holding the pen and recording
calmly in her notebook.
“I’m sure Ms. Daugherty already knows why this meeting is being held today, right?” Earley spoke
lightly, his deadpan stare falling on Adina’s body. Adina said calmly, “It’s for the chip design proposal,
right?”
“That’s right.” Earley pushed the document forward.“ Ms. Daugherty’s proposal is a fantastic idea, but it
is too rough, and many details are too abstract. Hence, we can’t be sure whether this proposal is just
an idea or whether it can establish the ideal framework outlined in the proposal.” Adina spoke lightly,
“The design proposal’s framework is complete and flawless. One of my initial concepts has taken
shape, but due to time constraints, I was unable to provide the concrete details.”
Earley curled his lips with interest and said, “It has already been assigned a three months duration, so
it is not a short time.”
This tender conference notification was sent out half a year in advance to Sea City, and the details of
the tender were publicly disclosed three months prior. If Adina could only submit such a proposal in
three months, she could not be as good as he had thought. However, she was indeed superior to the
majority of individuals.
“Mr. Earley Wynters, LaStar Technology Corporation was not yet established three months ago and has
not made preparations for Elitos Corporation tender conference.” Serene said boldly, “In fact, Ms.
Daugherty began working on this proposal only on the morning of the day of the last tender conference.
She probably only finished it in about five hours.”
Earley’s eyes narrowed abruptly. Others in the meeting room were also stunned.
“Five hours to produce such a proposal?” “This proposal’s framework , although rough, is indeed very
complete. In five hours, how is it possible?”
“I heard that Ms. Daugherty is a Harvard graduate, so maybe she could be capable of such.” “However,
five hours still seems unrealistic.”
Earley casually flipped through the proposal and said indifferently , “How long would Ms. Daugherty
need to perfect the details?”
Adina mused, “I usually leave the details to our company’s staff to complete. It can be finished in about
three days.”
“Very good.” Earley nodded and gestured to the secretary behind him, “Is the contract ready? Bring it
over to Ms. Daugherty for signature.”
The contract was spread out in front of Adina in two copies. She flipped through them casually. It was a
normal business cooperation contract with standard terms and conditions and did not contain any
harsh and excessive terms, so she signed her name neatly on them.
