Chapter 709 Team-Building Excursion

Catherine glanced expressionlessly at Marshall. “Professor Hartley, just tell me what you need.”

Marshall turned and handed a document to Catherine. “The Bide Cup, held every four years in Alton, is about to begin. As the highest institution in Eskana, Styre University naturally needs to participate. Due to the last project leak, our reputation was damaged. This competition is important for the school, and the higher-ups also attach great importance to it. Mr. Farrell is under a lot of pressure.”

Originally, Marshall wasn’t one to care about competition rankings. He valued experimental research projects. However, this competition held considerable weight in the industry. If the ranking in the competition is too low, it could affect Styre University’s global standing.

Ultan approached him to come up with a solution. As a teacher at Styre University, he didn’t want the school to lose face. And it was a fact that their team’s leak incident had brought a lot of negative publicity to Styre University.

Catherine understood Marshall’s meaning. She was not fond of participating in such competitions. For her, competitions were just a group of people playing a boring game.

However, since Marshall rarely made such requests, Catherine chose to agree. Joining a competition wasn’t too difficult; it would just take some effort.

Catherine stood up expressionlessly. Let me know when it’s time to depart.”

Sensing Catherine’s agreement, Marshall smiled. As Catherine was about to leave, he quickly stopped her. ” Wait!”

Catherine continued walking without turning her head. “Is there anything else?”

“I have the competition details here. Take a look. If you have time, I’ll go through the key points and analyze them with you,” said Marshall.

“No need,” Catherine said assertively, disappearing from Marshall’s office.
