Chapter 292

Alexander found the whole thing rather curious.

He'd never met Watts before; their first encounter had been at the engagement party. Yet, Watts seemed remarkably interested in VistaLink Technologies.

"Maybe I'm just... exceptionally charming?" Alexander quipped, indulging in a rare moment of self-flattery.

Elodie ignored his little joke, cutting straight to the point. "Go on, then. It's always good to share ideas with other tech people."

With that, Alexander lowered his head and replied to Watts.

Afterward, he shifted his attention to Jarrod, discussing the finer details of their joint bid.

Alexander had expected Jarrod to be rather overbearing, the kind of man who wouldn't easily give up control. To his surprise, Jarrod was approachable throughout the conversation, agreeing to every one of VistaLink's requests without so much as a raised eyebrow.

Elodie understood why.

Jarrod didn't care about how much of the military project's profits Neural

Intelligence could claim this time. His real goal was to use this opportunity to launch Neural Intelligence into the broader market, to lay a solid foundation for its future.

He was thinking long-term for Sylvie.

Of course, after this project, whether Sylvie could lead Neural Intelligence to steady success with the path Jarrod had paved that was another matter altogether.

Elodie was just as decisive. She and Alexander went over the contract, adding clauses for breach of agreement and other related liabilities.

They wanted to make sure everything was airtight: every responsibility clearly defined, leaving no wiggle room for anyone to shirk their duties.

Once the bid proposal was ready, it was time for the military's bidding conference.

The event was to be held at the Eldermere Civic Procurement Center.
