“Yup.”
“So how come you didn‘t tell me?” Nicole suddenly turned back to give him a sidelong glance before
continuing to walk forward.
“I’m sorry. I thought Séan had told you,” Harvey said humbly. An usher was waiting in the lobby. When
she saw Nicole and Harvey walk in, she came up to greet them.
“Miss Riddle, Mr. Ellison, this way, please.”
The usher led Nicole and Harvey to the meeting room, which was already full of people talking. Seeing
Nicole walk in, Scott came over to greet her.
“Miss Riddle , did you have a good rest yesterday?”
“Yeah. Thank you, Mr. Harmon, for your hospitality,” Nicole said politely.
“Don‘t mention it. It’s a great honor for me to have you here for the seminar. This way, please.” Scott
made a gesture of invitation and guided Nicole to the middle seat.
“Quiet, everyone. This is Miss Riddle I was telling you about.” Scott introduced Nicole to everyone.
Silence fell in the conference room as people looked at Nicole and cast admiring glances.
“Miss Riddle is not only beautiful but also young and talented.” A man praised.
“It is indeed an honor for me to have the privilege of meeting you today.”
“Yeah. I have heard a lot about you, but today I‘m finally meeting you in person.”
As everyone kept flattering Nicole, she smiled awkwardly in response, wondering if these people were
faking admiration or true hypocrisy.
“Please be seated, Miss Riddle.” Harvey, who came in with Nicole, was sitting in the corner, ignored by
everyone. He watched Nicole receive favor from everyone with envy.After the pleasantries, Scott got
down to business.
” Today‘s seminar has two themes. One is for us to discuss the development of the manned flying car
project, and the other is for you all to get to know each other. Everyone can now speak freely about the
manned flying car project and express your opinions and ideas.” Scott finished his speech and leaned
back in his chair to watch.
A man wearing glasses was the first to make a comment.”
“Let me say that manned flying cars are indeed a viable direction. According to our research on the
current market, I think that within one to two years, ground transportation will no longer satisfy people‘s
travel
needs, and manned flying cars are a necessary trend, so we should form a research and development
team and aim to have manned flying cars on the market within two to three years.”
“I agree with Mr. Wyatt. Nowadays, we travel a very short distance only to get stuck in traffic, and time
is wasted on the road. Isn‘t there a saying that time is life, and wasting time is wasting life? This is too
costly. I don‘t think that anyone can afford to waste time.” A middle–aged man put forward his opinion
in a serious and composed manner.
“I agree with what the two of them said. The streets are really jammed now, but manned flying cars are
not easily developed. Taking a step back; even if developed, supporting operation, facilities, and
supervision is also a problem.”
“What Mr. Moreno said is indeed a real problem. With our current ability, developing this project is a bit
difficult. I suggest it is better to do some projects that we are good at. That way, we can do a good job,
and we can get a return quicker.”
“Yeah, time is money. The manned flying car project will be lucky if it can pay for itself in five years.”
During the seminar, everyone talked about their opinions and views. Only Nicole kept listening without
saying a word.
After listening to everyone‘s speech, Scott looked at Nicole. “What do you think about the manned
flying car project, Miss Riddle?”
“We all know how hard it was back when we made the first atomic bomb. If we identify a goal and that
goal is right, I believe that with everyone‘s concerted efforts, we can solve all the problems one by one
as time goes by. A manned flying car is not a dream, either.” Nicole calmly expressed her opinion.
