chapter 25

Eden Lichman-"Mr Reed welcome . "Michael Reed smiled . Taking a glass of wine Michael Reed  said-- "She is my Corporation's Vice-President Angela that's really remarkable for everyone."The Second floor of the banquet hall was relatively quite when Michael bring Angela upstairs a handsome tall man wearing black shirt stood up. The two men hands briefly. Michael Reed said-" Mr. Eden Lichman it's been a while."President Lichman laughed and said "Hello Ms. Angela.  you are not only beautiful but also capable. I hope that you won't mind that I put off our dinner and invited you to this in banquet instead. "Angela--" Off course not . Congratulations on 5th anniversary. I think we'll be able to work together happily in the years to come. "President Lichman smiled and asked Michael Reed "May I talk to Ms Angela privately? After all there is a chance for cooperation the person will be liaising with Ms Angela. "Michael Reed said " Sure. " Michael Reed was not surprised by this request and gave Angela a reassuring glance. He then turned around and went downstairs to network with others  calmly.Mr. Lichman--" Ms Angela I want to know why you are so confident about this cooperation? "President Lichman held a glass of wine and casually shook the liquid in the glass.Angela raised her eyebrows and said- "Mr Lichman,, the condition you gave, very sincere. I believe that you are also aware of it.  Compared to many investors there is Noone else more suitable than Reed Corporation. To put it bluntly you have the technology and I have the money.Reed Corporation don't expect to be profitable in 5 yrs . Instead we are looking at the long-term cooperation.  I believe that the next 10 yrs we will be the ones to determine the level ai development in this world. ".....Eden Lichman was not just a businessman , he also was an engineer. So he fixed the most suitable businessman partner.   Eden Lichman bowed his head and said Angela " Vice President Angela you mind participating in a three-way partnership with another company?"Angela-" Who else?"Angela didn't believe that there was a better fit Corporation than Reed Corporation. Angela felt a sudden silence in the air. Angela's heart suddenly jumped a beat. Her smile on her face, froze with just a glance. The only one who can compete with Reed Corporation in the same project was none other than Jorge Trumph.   Jorge Trumph was wearing a black suit that looked familiar to Angela. It made him seem so cold and indifferent.   Eden Lichman's eyes bounced between the two of them. He said -" I guess, I don’t need to introduce you both since you should be familiar with each other. Ms. Angela Reed our following partner is Jorge Trumph . He is also involved in this project. "  Looking at Angela's puzzled gaze,Eden Lichman chuckled and continued " that's because Mr. Jorge Trumph has been funding all of my projects."She turned to Eden Lichman with a poised expression. “I see. Since Mr. Trumph is already a shareholder in LIVIAN Corporation, I assume that he has a certain level of influence over this project. However, as long as our cooperation is based on professionalism and mutual benefit, I have no objections.”Jorge, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. His deep, magnetic voice carried a hint of amusement. “That’s quite mature of you, Angela. I was expecting you to throw a fit.”Angela shot him a sharp look. “Mr. Trumph, business is business. Personal matters have no place in it.”Jorge smirked. “Good. Then let’s make sure our partnership remains… strictly professional.” His eyes held an unfathomable glint as he took a sip of his wine.Angela thought ' I just didn't expect Jorge Trumph had set his eyes on the field of artificial intelligence for so long. 'If Eden Lichman didn't take the initiative to tell Angela this, Angela would not have been able to find out. The fact that he told her this information also proved that he genuinely wanted to cooperate with her. Although Angela was not happy with Jorge Trumph's involvement, she had a clear mind and separated her personal affairs and business well. She would not give up this opportunity.
