Chapter 127

Chapter 127:

Andrew replied, “No problem. Please continue.”

The man breathed a sigh of relief. But he remained cautious as he continued, “At this moment, the development of our scientific research is our top priority. It is crucial because our country’s scientific and technological level still lags behind other countries. Promoting scientific and technological products is definitely the future, not only for our economy but also for our country’s standing. But the problem is, we are short on technology geniuses. We need to find and recruit the best minds not only within the country but all over the world. That’s why I’m planning to scout for top talents in technology abroad.”

Upon hearing his words, another man chimed in, “Speaking of which, isn’t Mr. Klein’s cousin involved in scientific research?”

The Klein family was a prestigious family with a long history in the country. Many of its members were exceptional talents in various fields. In Andrew’s generation alone, there were countless outstanding talents. Yes, Andrew was the family’s future leader. He was at the top. But the other members weren’t far behind him in intelligence.

Aside from Andrew, his cousin got the most attention because of his excellence. Andrew’s cousin had shown a knack for technology since he was a child. His first achievement was winning the championship in a robotics competition. When he became an adult, he founded his own company specializing in technological products. His company was leading in the industry nationwide.

Everyone looked at Andrew expectantly. At this time, when geniuses in technology were scarce, it would be significantly advantageous if Andrew’s cousin collaborated with them. The look in Andrew’s dark eyes was so deep that it was hard to read his mind. When everyone in the conference room saw this, they immediately understood.

In big families, conflicts were inevitable, and the Klein family was no exception. If they could cooperate, they would have done so long ago. Why would they wait until now? The atmosphere inside the conference room seemed to have dropped a few degrees. There was an awkward silence. Fortunately, someone quickly changed the topic to lighten the mood. “Then, let’s focus on finding other talents.”

They deliberated over this matter for two hours before the meeting finally ended. Then, Andrew got the chance to call Madisyn. He asked, “Who were you talking to just now?” His tone was calm but with a hint of probing and danger.

“It was Howard. Who else could I be talking to?” Madisyn replied with a smile.

Andrew raised an eyebrow. “Howard?” He sounded a little surprised. “He talked to you?”

“Of course. Why are you so surprised?”

“Well, I just didn’t expect it. He hasn’t been out and about in a while.”

“That’s right. But he’ll be out and about soon,” Madisyn replied and yawned.

“Are you sleepy? You must be tired. Go to bed and rest now,” Andrew said.

“Okay. You should get some rest too,” Madisyn said.

Then, they hung up. After the call, Andrew checked his inbox and saw several new messages. Some were from the members of the Klein family.

His aunt-in-law said, “Andrew, Corbett has recently developed an impressive product. You might be interested in investing in it. As far as I can remember, your Klein Group owns a technology company, right? Why don’t your and Corbett’s companies merge? I’m sure you will benefit a lot. You know how capable he is. He is now leading in the technology industry. If you work together, your Klein Group will definitely grow.”

On the surface, it sounded promising. But the truth was, if the two companies merged, it was very likely that Corbett would take over Klein Group’s technology company. Then, he could gradually undermine the entire Klein Group.

The other members of the Klein family had always coveted the position of successor to the company leader. So, Andrew dismissed the idea indifferently. “It’s not necessary.”

His aunt-in-law quickly replied, “Are you sure about that? This is a very good opportunity for you. Why don’t you think it over first?”

Andrew didn’t respond anymore.

Suddenly, their family’s group chat became busy. New messages came one after another, mentioning Corbett Klein.

Usually, Andrew didn’t pay attention to this group chat. He just ignored the new messages coming in. But this time, one message that popped up caught his attention as he saw a familiar name mentioned in it.

“Really? Corbett is dating someone? Oh, Tatiana? She’s a big star. I actually tried to pursue her once. Unfortunately, I was rejected. Corbett is really awesome, considering Tatiana was charmed by him.”

“Well, Tatiana is worthy of him. She is beautiful and is really good at acting. In fact, she is expected to bring home the Best Actress award this year.”

While reading the messages, Andrew was a little surprised. What a coincidence! He didn’t expect Corbett to be Tatiana’s boyfriend.

Andrew couldn’t help sharing this news with Madisyn. But actually, even if he didn’t tell her, Madisyn would know it soon.

The next day, the news about Tatiana and Corbett’s relationship hit the headlines. Some paparazzi even posted some photos of them together.

Their intimate photos of having meals and going on a date quickly spread, igniting heated discussions online.

“Wow, they look so good together! They are a match made in heaven.”

“Tatiana’s in the right age. So, it’s not surprising that she has a boyfriend. She deserves to love and be loved.”

“Yes, I agree. But I didn’t expect her boyfriend to be Corbett. I know him. He’s a genius in technology.”

“But wait! Isn’t Tatiana engaged to Howard from the Johns family? Did I remember it wrong? Can someone enlighten me?”

“You’re right. She was engaged to Howard before. But don’t you know that Howard had an accident? He was disfigured and became disabled. Tatiana stayed with him for a long time. But she also has a life of her own. She needs someone who can love and take care of her in return.”

“I sympathize with Howard and feel bad that he is alone now. But I also understand Tatiana. She has done more than enough for him. It’s time for her to be happy.”

“Very well said! If it were another woman, she would have left Howard the moment she found out he was disfigured. But Tatiana is different. She stayed with him for a long time. She’s really a good person.”

Most people supported Tatiana’s new love life. They thought she deserved to be happy after sacrificing for Howard for a long time. There were a few who disagreed, but their opinions were immediately suppressed.
