Chapter 315
Nodding, Irvin quirked his eyebrows and curled his lips into a smile, "Dictatorial?" With only a word, he
showed his untamed character. "I know, everyone here has such a high standard but little talents. And
you think only the person you rmended can carry such a huge responsibility. It''s fine by me. If you
can rmend someone more talented than Arianna to fill in the job as the project director, please do
so at any time. We will evaluate the person based on how much we''ve achieved in the Al industry
within a year, domestically speaking."
Someone then asked, "In this case, we''re not going to discuss the cancetion of Al development for
ourpany for the time being?"
Irvin nodded. "Yes, in a year, if everyone decides that Arianna is incapable, you can rmend other
people. However, I expect to achieve certain results for the Al project a year from now. Otherwise,
there''s no need to waste your breath."
"Sure!" Nerissa spoke. She looked like a strong and independent woman, no longer had the soft
temperament she had had when she was in the Granger Manor. "After all, we have already invested
hundreds of millions of dors in this Al project, and it has been going on for a long time. If Miss Reid
could show us a good result a yearter, it would be great. If she couldn''t, it won''t be toote for us to
consider the cancetion of the Al project again."
Nerissa''s words evoked reactions from the people in the meeting room. They exchanged looks and
opinions with each other, and a momentter, someone said, "Since Madam Roberts said so, let''s give
it a try. If the result is satisfactory, everyone will be happy. But if it''s not, we''ll have wasted another half
of the Granger Group''s assets. Miss Reid, we''ll need a warrant from you."
I stood up and spoke for the first time in the meeting, "If I can''t make any progress, I''ll take full
responsibility for the losses of Granger Group''s investments in the Al project for the whole year."
Someone scoffed, "Miss Reid, are you aware that you sounded like a princess leaving her pce for
the first time? The Granger Group invests over a hundred million in Al projects annually. It''s easy for

you to make promises now, but we''ll have to bear the loss when you say ciao and leave without debt."
I smiled faintly, not taking it to my heart.
Confidently, I replied, "Have you heard of Advancer Tech in Ucrebury? I''ll swear on it. If you don''t trust
me, we can sign a contract. If there''s no breakthrough in Granger Group''s Al technology after a year, I''ll
transfer Advancer Tech to Granger Group. What do you think?"
Although Advancer Tech wasn''t a big corporation, the new products that they manufactured had never
failed to meet everyone''s expectations. Therefore, the profit Advancer Tech earned contributed the
most to the Roberts Group''s annual ie.
Before he passed away, Dalton gave me Advancer Tech because he wanted Hendrix to be entangled
with me for the rest of our lives. If I ever wanted to leave himpletely, I had to terminate my position
as the legal person of Advancer Tech. And it was an extremely troublesome process.
The people in the meeting room started whispering, only Nerissa was looking at me. She said, "Miss
Reid, as far as I know, although your husband is the CEO of the Roberts Group, you don''t have the
right to manage Advancer Tech. You''re promising too much than you can offer."
I smiled softly. "Madam Roberts, I forgot to tell you that although Advancer Tech is indeed one of the
Roberts Group''s subsidiarypanies, Master Roberts had already officially given it to me two years
ago when he passed away. So, even though Advancer Tech belongs to the Roberts Group, I own the
Hearing my exnation, Nerissa''s face darkened. But she didn''t speak further.
Other people in the room also had no other objections when they heard me. If worse came to worst, the
Granger Group would acquire Advancer Tech. It wouldn''t only increase thepany''s overall
<ppetency in technology development, but it would also bring the Granger Group to greater sess.
