“Mr. Nolan.”

Upon seeing Nolan walk in through the door, both Franklin and Julia stood up to greet him.

Upon seeing Julia, there was no surprise on Nolan’s face.

Julia politely introduced herself again, “Hello, Mr. Nolan. My name is Julia Brown. We met before at the technology exhibition-”

“I know,” Nolan replied, his face neutral, extending his hand to shake hers.

She then took out her computer and said, “Let me show you the product I developed when I graduated with my PhD.”

Nolan scrolled through the mouse and reviewed her graduation project.

After going through a few sets of data, he said in a low voice, “As a graduation project, it is indeed much better than what most doctoral students present.”

Upon hearing this, Julia’s smile deepened, and her confidence grew. She was about to speak. when Nolan let go of the mouse, his gaze shifting from the computer as he asked, “Is this what you completed this year?”

Julia answered, “Yes.”
