Thorne chuckled. "That's right. I'm still very interested, even now."

Vesta knew well that Thorne had always been a fan of PrimeStarCUAP, that particular programming language. In fact, when she'd considered joining PrimeStar last year, Thorne was all for it. He believed she'd experience solid growth if she got in.

Maybe it was this genuine interest in CUAP's developers that kept Thorne so easygoing around Stewart Ferguson-despite the fact that Stewart, thanks to Charlene, had never exactly rolled out the red carpet for him. Stewart's frosty attitude never seemed to faze Thorne; he always just smiled and shrugged it off.

Now, Thorne said frankly, "But I've crossed Mr. Ferguson in the past. He doesn't think much of me these days. If you want his cooperation and ask me to help, I'm afraid it'll only backfire."

Nicol looked surprised but didn't press the issue. "Alright then, I'll find someone else to help."

Nicol came from a family deeply rooted in pharmaceutical research. His company's Al models had been stuck at a plateau for a while, unable to improve their success rate in antibody tasks. They wanted to use a multimodal generative architecture-combining atomic structure prediction and generation to design new antibody molecules, but they'd hit a stubborn bottleneck.

For the past six months, Nicol had reached out to several potential partners, but none of the collaborations had panned out. That was why he'd turned to PrimeStar.

Nicol's influence overseas wasn't negligible. Partnering with him would be a win for PrimeStar too, especially since both Charlene and Stewart were quite interested in this new module. After talking it over, the two set up a meeting with Nicol for the following morning.
