The Scent of 46

In Lennox’s view, Celeste was simply jealous that Wynn had taken Trevor away, which was why she was deliberately obstructing Wynn from joining YodaVision.

Celeste had neither talent nor knowledge–all she did was stir up trouble. Just thinking about it made Lennox scoff.

She figured it wasn’t just her–Trevor probably thought the same way, didn’t he?

Unfortunately, Celeste herself was completely oblivious to this. Perhaps even now, she was still smug about ruining Wynn’s opportunity.

Thinking about Wynn’s brilliance and then comparing her to Celeste, Lennox became even more convinced that the two were simply not on the same level.

Harvey sighed. “I know.” He shared the same thoughts as Lennox.

“But she just won’t listen.”

“She really is…”

She was just as stubborn as her mother.

Lennox didn’t say this out loud—after all, anything related to that person was never pleasant to discuss.

“Regarding Cuap…”

“Let’s wait until Wynn comes back and ask her about it.” Harvey was highly invested in this matter as well.

Over the years, they had poured a lot of money into the AI field, but their company lacked solid technology, so its growth had remained stagnant.

Meanwhile, YodaVision, simply because they had Cuap, could earn billions annually without doing anything. How could they not be envious?

If they could acquire Cuap’s core technology and integrate it into their existing projects, their company would likely skyrocket in value. Reaching a market capitalization of tens of billions would be easy.

Just as he was thinking about this, Wynn returned.

Seeing Harvey and Lennox, she greeted them. “Dad, Aunt Lennox, hello.”

“Wynn, you’re back.” The moment Wynn walked in, Lennox’s face lit up with a smile, her admiration and affection for Wynn evident.

Wynn nodded and sat down. “What are you discussing?”

“Cuap. Since you couldn’t get into YodaVision, what’s your plan now? Has Mr. Fleming said anything?” Harvey asked.

“Trevor said he would help me get in touch with Zachary Newman.”

Zachary was one of the top experts in the AI field in the country. It was said that he was highly valued by the government, and his whereabouts were kept confidential–ordinary people had no way of meeting him.

Matthias was one of the very few disciples of Zachary, and Quap was rumored to have been developed by Zachary himself.

Since the path through Matthias was blocked, they had no choice but to try approaching Zachary directly.

“That’s good.” Harvey smiled, though he was still a little concerned. “Matthias is Zachary’s student. If he had said anything negative about you to him, would that…”

“That shouldn’t be a problem,” Lennox said with a smile. Harvey, you might not know this, but I’ve heard that Mr. Newman values talent above all else.

“Wynn is a genius. As long as she gets a chance to meet him with her expertise in AI, she’ll definitely gain his recognition.

“At that point, it wouldn’t be surprising if Zachary makes an exception and takes her on as a disciple.”

Harvey laughed. “That’s true.”

Lennox then asked, “Did Mr. Fleming say when you might get to meet Mr. Newman?”

Wynn took a sip of water and replied calmly, “At next week’s tech expo. Apparently, Mr. Newman will be attending.”

They were, of course, aware of the tech expo. However, their company wasn’t high–profile enough in the industry to receive an invitation from the government.

But with Trevor’s connections, perhaps….

As this thought crossed Harvey and Lennox’s minds, they both looked at Wynn expectantly.

Wynn then said, “Trevor gave me two tickets, but only two…”

“That’s fine. It doesn’t matter who accompanies you. What’s important is that you must go.”

Lennox smiled. “Exactly.”
