Chapter 817 You Wouldn’t Burden Me
Neera was astounded to see him.
“Mr. Cox, how could it be you?” she questioned.
Grinning, Avery stood up and said, “Ms. Garcia, we have met again.”
Neera blinked. She walked over and shook his hand politely.

She stated, surprisingly, “I’ve no idea that you’re the potential business partner that Uncle Chad is
talking about.”
Avery’s eyes were filled with joy as he jested, “Surprise or disappointment?”
Neera replied, “Of course, it’s a pleasant surprise.”
Avery nodded and jokingly said, “That’s nice. I’ll feel guilty if I disappoint you.”
“Mr. Cox, you must be joking with me.”
Both sat down after exchanging pleasantries.
Avery took the initiative to get down to business.
He said, “Uncle Chad mentioned that you’re very interested in the field of artificial intelligence.
Fortunately, mypany has achieved some tiny sess in the area. If possible, the two of us could
cooperate.”
He passed her a document in the interim. It recorded the achievements of Cox Group in the area.
Neera browsed through the document and realized Cox Group’s achievements had far surpassed
those of ANXIN Group.
More importantly, hispany had developed a new energy system that monopolized many areas
of the global electronics industry.
This
guy
is being modest right now. This isn’t a small feat. Cox Group is a true giant of this field!
Once she had a better understanding of the situation, Neera was impressed.
She was, however, embarrassed at this point.
“You’re too humble, Mr. Cox. It’s challenging for others topete with Cox Group’s achievements. It’s
challenging to seed in this industry. The technology mypany is developing is still in its early
stages. Are you worried that working with us will slow down your
business?”
Avery smiled slightly; his bearing was noble.
“You’re worrying too much. Even though yourpany hasn’t advanced in this area in recent years, it
still has a leg up on thepetition with its solid foundation.
“With our coboration and sharing some insights with your team, I believe
yourpany will quickly regain the energy it once had. Besides, it’s perfectly fine for you to hold me
back. Given our family rtionship, I’m willing to back yourpany.”
The whole picture was now clear to Neera. He was doing it as a favor.
She smiled and maintained a professional demeanor.
“I appreciate your kindness, but I dislike exploiting others. Do you think it’s okay for mypany to
take a smaller share of profits and other benefits if we work together?”
Avery’s pupils darkened. He gave her a brief, intense stare before beaming broadly.
“Sure, since you asked, I’d skip the formality with you. Alright, we’ll do as you say. I’ll have someone
draft a contract and send it as soon as I return to the office. We can officially work together if you
don’t see any issues with the contract.
“Thank you for your understanding,” Neera said, expressing her gratitude. “I look forward to
working with you
Unconsciously, she got to her feet, expecting Avery to leave once their conversation was done..
Surprisingly, Avery remained seated with no intention of leaving. He dragged out the final words.
and teased, “You’re going to see me off so soon?”
“Not really,” Neera replied awkwardly, embarrassed.
She had only met him twice, and they were not familiar enough to strike up a conversation.

Avery can see through her embarrassment, but he doesn’t mind.
“Actually, there’s something I’d like to ask for your help with,” he exined.
“What can I help you with?” Neera asked, perplexed.
With a sophisticated grin, Avery continued, “Uncle Chad asked me to track down the whereabouts. of a
painting a while back. He said your aunt loved it, and he wanted to get it for her.
“I only found out yesterday that this painting is now in the possession of a wealthy man. He’s going to
auction it off tonight, so…I’d like to invite you to the event tonight. Can you do me this honor?”
