Someone disagreed with Gary. "We won't stand to gain if we wait until everyone else is already in the game.""But these live streams… Some foreign companies tried to make it big through live streams before, but nothing worked. They lost everything they had." There were also people on Gary's side."Hooper Group is just trying things out on their own platform, but we're acquiring a whole company. That's a bit of a high price to pay if we fail, isn't it?"Just then, Taylor knocked on the door and entered the conference room. He gestured for whoever was outside the room to enter."Sorry for being late." Micah Quilton, the head of Lawson Global's entertainment sector, walked in."It's fine. I was the one who called for a last-minute meeting. Have a seat," Angeline smiled while saying.Taylor walked to her and lowered his voice. He said, "Mr. Webb of the investment department says he still needs some time."Hanson Webb was the new head of the investment department and Daniel's son. He
Micah spoke quickly and confidently. As he spoke, the people who'd first disagreed with the idea fell silent."More importantly, 'Survival Island' won't have a wonky connection because it'll be streamed using Lawson Global's network. What will that tell the viewers? That our network is strong, stable, and has a wide coverage."It'll also show that our network has short latency. Won't that benefit us? Wouldn't that be a form of positive publicity for Lawson Global?" Micah was obviously excited."What does everyone else think?" Angeline asked. She started with Gary. "Why don't you start, Mr. Xanders?""Mr. Quilton may make things sound amazing, but my point still stands—we should be careful with this since Hooper Group doesn't think things will go well," Gary said.Micah looked a little nervous at his words."Does anyone else have anything to say?" Angeline asked.No one said anything."Alright, then. I can understand why none of you want to express your opinion so easily. Firstl
Robert had set his sights on Hanson partly because he felt Hanson was a pretty good guy and partly because he felt Hanson could help Angeline in her career. But Hanson didn't dare dream of being with Angeline.Angeline's phone rang as soon as the words were out of Hanson's mouth. It was Asher. Angeline had a feeling she knew what the call was about; she stopped Hanson from leaving and put the phone on speaker. "Hi, Mr. Millstone.""Hello, Ms. Angeline. Mr. Lawson Senior and Mr. Webb Senior are meeting for dinner; they wanted me to invite you to join them," Asher said cheerily.Angeline glanced at Hanson, who was smiling wryly. "Alright. Send me the time and place."She hung up and smiled amicably at Hanson. "I'm adopted, and you're the biological son. Who do you think would stand a better chance of going against their elders?"Hanson's eyes widened. He hadn't expected Angeline to be so humorous when she'd been so serious earlier. "Wait, you mean…""Mr. Webb Senior feels he owes y
Angeline had to admit that Dexter's eyes were similar to hers and Sean's. Coincidentally, neither of them were related by blood."I'm sure you've already looked into my background, Mr. Kingston. I wouldn't dare claim there was anything between us." She wiped her hands with a warm towel before pouring Dexter some tea."Have you met my nephew, Ms. Lawson? He looks a lot like Mr. Lawson, doesn't he?""Yes, but it's easy to see the differences now that I've seen him up close. His personality and demeanor aren't the same, either." She curled her lip.Dexter felt even more confident when he saw that. He smiled without responding. Instead, he pulled out a folder and handed it to Angeline. "I know you're busy, so I'll cut to the chase. I'm here today to discuss our cooperation, Ms. Lawson."She didn't open the folder. She tapped a finger on it and said, "And what would that be about? Mr. Shane and his wife met with me in Dmont, saying they wanted to bargain with me with their microchips.
Angeline had been targeting that lithography technique anyway."However, I want to leave the information at this price," Angeline said."I'm going to be in this country for three days. You can ask your technicians to prove the integrity of that!" Dexter said with a confident chuckle. "Since I'm working with you, it means I trust you."That afternoon, even though her schedule was extremely full, Angeline still made a trip to Lawson Global's branch in Cloudsville. She also made a trip to Cloudsville College so she could check out the lab.Marion and the others were overjoyed at the sight of Angeline."Why didn't you tell us that you were back? Come on, let's book a private booth at the restaurant we always go to! Did you know that it was almost going to shut down? Gregory bought the whole place!" Alva said with a chuckle."What's been up with you recently? I see you didn't bring your besuited boyfriend," Marion said as she poked Angeline's arm. "When's the wedding?"Reese shot Mari
"I heard you guys were dating before he passed," Gregory said, feeling his throat closing up. "I heard about all the horrible things my cousin did. You got drugged, didn't you? W-Was that when you did something with him?"Gregory had been there at Night Palace that day.Even though it had been dark in the private room, to the point where neither Marion nor Alva could recognize Sean, Gregory had somehow recognized him.Gregory had never thought about Angeline and Sean being together. After all, neither Marion nor Alva had brought it up in front of him since he was a guy.However, after Marion and Alva brought up the person who had helped them in Night Palace and asked about a wedding, Gregory finally sensed that something was off."How would you mistake that guy for Sean?" Angeline said with a gentle chuckle. "They just look similar. You've got the wrong guy.""Then could it be that legendary guy from Kingston Empire?" Gregory asked with wide eyes.If he remembered correctly, tha
"Okay!" Micah replied joyfully."By the way, you don't have to call me about something like this. You can make these decisions yourself, but feel free to call me if you run into any trouble," Angeline said.Micah was even more overjoyed. "Okay! Thanks!"After hanging up, Angeline washed her hands and sat down at the table. She watched Taylor setting down her lunch and exclaimed, "What a feast!"Jamie twisted open the thermos filled with chamomile tea. "Is Mr. Quilton trying to get Ingrid on the show? I heard that she's been taking jobs left and right recently. "Ever since she became Norwalk Corporation's ambassador, and after she began to gain popularity, she hasn't taken any roles in television shows. However, she recently agreed to star in two television shows. I was reading some entertainment news yesterday afternoon and read about how Ingrid's intensive job schedule is pissing off some directors."By Jamie's words, it was easy to tell that he didn't really approve of Micah i
Part of the digital innovation the chip offered was the ability to edit the footage as filming was going on, which required an extremely powerful chip. It was better for Angeline to take a look on her own than to hear someone else tell her about it.After lunch, Angeline went off to the set of "Mankind."The director brought Angeline to the monitors and explained everything to her.The actors stood in the studio with motion-tracking sensors plastered on the walls. They performed with nothing around them, but through the monitor, Angeline could see the visual effects and scenery being added on in live time through post-production.Even though it hadn't gone through proper post-production and further fine-tuning, it was already an impressive result."I remember you were involved in the filming of an overseas movie. Do you think our current chip technology can measure up to what they have over there?" Angeline asked Derek Lynch, the director of "Mankind.""I don't know much about ch
