    Chapter 7


    “Grandmother, I came back to make a business deal with the Xavier family.” Adina opened her bag and


    took out a set of documents. She ced them on the table and said coolly, “I majored inputer


    science, and over the past few years, I did postgraduate studies in Harfard and developed a smart


    chip. It’s not sold in the market yet, and I’m currently searching for business partners. I hope that the


    Xavier Corporation may be one.” “Hmph. Adina, aren’t you tooting your own horn? Why should


    we work with you just because you asked us?” Sophia pouted in disdain. “The Xaviers own one of the


    top ten corporations in Sea City, and plenty ofpanies are begging grandpa and grandma to work


    with them, but they don’t even spare them a nce! So why should you be any different?” Madam


    Xavier was about to speak, but Richard interrupted her. He took a step forward and said, “Mom, Adina


    is my niece, and I pity her too, but we can’t do business with her just because we pity her. Right now,


    Xavier Corporation is trying to enter the IoT market. It’s tough, and we can’t bend the rules just


    because Addy needs it.” “We’ve already bought a copyright for a smart chip abroad and are about to


    enter the production stage. Why should we change our business partner just because of what she


    said?” “Come on, Adina just wants to use this partnership to get money from Grandma. It’s obvious,


    isn’t it?” “You’re supposed to be dead. Why did youe back here?” “Grandma loves her a lot. Her


    name is definitely in the will…” “She’s a Daugherty! Why should she have a share? And she even


    brought so much shame to us in the past…” The family members didn’t shy away from sharing their


    opinions. They had always been fighting among themselves, but this time, they showed a rare sense of


    solidarity. Madam Xavier had longed for her granddaughter toe back, and after four years, she


    was finally willing to do so, but she had to face such animosity from her own family. Her temper red


    as she listened to it. However, before Madam Xavier could say anything, a soft voice spoke up. Alden


    was a quiet boy, but he would not just stand by and do nothing when his mother was attacked. He took


    a step forward and looked at Richard. “Granduncle, did Xavier Corporation buy the rights for Ander


    Corporation’s MCP12?” Richard frowned. “How did you know?” “I also know that while that chip


    promises smooth operations, it’s not perfect and can’t receive manymands. However, if you use


    AMP1 and RIWE-34, it will improve the chip,” Alden stated coolly. “But if you want thepany to get a


    slice of pie in the AI market, you shouldn’t choose this chip.” He was just four and could not be seen in


    a crowd of people, but his words made the adults’ expressions change. The younger generation who


    did not work in Xavier Corporation did not understand what he just said, but Richard and many others


    did. His assistant had mentioned every single thing the boy said, and he had also thought about


    modifying the chip, but this was a new market, and even multinationalpanies could not produce


    perfect chips. Hence, Xavier Corporation could only make do with the chip they chose. The scorn in


    Richard’s eyes finally faded away. “H-How do you know so much about it?” When he was four, he was


    still ying with mud. He did not even know what smart chips were, much less how they worked.


    “Mommy taught me!” Alden said. “Mommy is known as a chip genius by Harfard lecturers. If you work


    with Mommy, you’ll have a bright future.” Adina stroked her son’s hair while feeling resigned. Alden was


    the true genius. He had been interested inputers since birth and was already a hacker at the age


    of four. Alden had helped her develop the chip. Otherwise, she would not have managed to do it so


    swiftly. Adina pushed the contract over and said faintly, “Uncle Richard, you should read the description


    of my chip in the contract first.” Richard opened the contract withplicated feelings. Then, he froze


    in ce. Xavier Corporation had spent three months and hired more than one hundred programmers to


    develop their chip, but they hadn’t managed to make one that could let them gain a standing in the


    market. Yet Adina had done it. If the smart chip she developed could really deliver as the contract


    stated, Xavier Corporation could rise to the top of the IoT market! “Addy, have you sold this chip to any


    company?” Richard asked with suppressed delight. “Not for the time being,” Adina answered in her


    usual cool voice. “I’ll sign the contract now!” Richard stated and asked for a pen. Sophia’s eyes went


    wide. “Dad, have you gone mad? Can’t you see that Adina and her b*stard are just lying to you?N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.
