Chapter 1661
The executives realized that the presentation was not a stalling tactic; it revealed significant
advancement in Alex’s research and development. It sessfully addressed a fundamental aspect of
photolithography technology.
This achievement was nothing short of sensational for the entire industry.
Upon approval of the experiments and the feasibility of mass production, it could shatter the foreign
monopoly on this technology, presenting immeasurablemercial value.
The executives whose views initially aligned with Chandler’s were left momentarily speechless.
After Jasper exined everything, he summarized, “Our R&D has reached the final experimental
stage. It’s inadvisable to introduce new team members at this point. If the results of this stage’s
experiments are leaked, the repercussions will be beyond imagination.”
Everyoneprehended the gravity of the situation, given their shared industry background.
While Chandler might harbor intentions of gaining control over Vinci Rivera, the prospect of putting
shareholder interests at risk for this purpose was not a proposal anyone was willing to entertain.
The financial windfall and enhanced reputation from a breakthrough in this new technology were of
substantial magnitude, causing everyone to have concerns.
Someone voiced their opinion, “Mr. Kane, Mr. Powell makes apelling case.
Introducing someone new into the team could cause issues, and it would be a considerable challenge
to handle them.” Hearing that, the others followed suit, “I agree. Introducing anyone new at this critical
stage is risky. Let’s hold off from making any adjustments until the experimental stage ispleted.”
“Mr. Kane, our top priority should be the progress of the experiments.”
Chandler’s expression remained cold and stern as he kept his gaze fixed on Ste, his eyescking
any semnce of friendliness.
Keegan had never disclosed this breakthrough to thepany. If he had presented this trump card
during the election meeting, it would undoubtedly have caused many people to switch sides.
Chandler understood that profit is what binds the people together.
With Keegan temporarily out of the equation, this research and development achievement safeguards
his entire team. The forceful inclusion of a new member might allow Aldor and the team to exploit the
situation. This, in turn, could jeopardize shareholder interests and contribute to a potential breakdown
in trust,’ he thought.
‘It would be tough to influence Alex in light of this. Unless…
Keegan doesn’te back.’ Ste met Chandler’s eyes confidently and openly. Her gaze resembled
the confrontational look Keegan had given him before, sending an inexplicable chill down his spine.
Chandler quickly dismissed her and thought, ‘She’s just a girl relying on Keegan’s reputation to try and
make a difference. I’m sure she’s incapable of making a significant impact if Keegan never returns. I
just have to wait.’ “Given the circumstances, waiting until the experiments conclude is reasonable.
However, I propose sharing Alex’s experimental data with the senior management work group. This
way, everyone can be informed of the progress and prevent intentional dys,” he said.

Ste, notprehending these intricacies, looked at Aldor. He nodded, and Ste said, “Alright. Aldor
will be in charge of the reports.”
The shareholders voiced no objections when faced with such assurance.
After the meeting, Ste went to the restroom. On her way out, she bumped into Jackson, who blocked
the restroom door.
Now d in a suit, Jackson appeared somewhat more presentable than before, with a height not much
different from Keegan’s. However, his presence was far less powerful.
‘Keegan emanated charm and authority, while Jackson…’ Ste nced at his perpetually slouched
back and somewhat emaciated face, ‘He seems frail and weak in terms of physique and demeanor.’
