Seeing him, the supervisor immediately yelled at him, “Richard! What gives you the right to slack off during work hours? Look at those interns with higher submission rates; they’re all diligently revising their drafts! What are you doing?! Huh? Useless!”
Richard had always been the type of top student who excelled in design but struggled with communication. After stammering for a long time, he finally managed to say something useful, “Um... I have a headhunter interested in me.”
The supervisor rolled his eyes, full of sarcasm. “A headhunter is looking for you? Then hurry up and leave!”
“But... but I still have drafts to finish...”
“Then why aren’t you hurrying to finish? What are you dreaming about?!”
Feeling a bit wronged, Richard softly retorted, “I’m not dreaming...” &nb

Check if all the people who left really went to Cortex.” The assistant was momentarily stunned, asking in confusion, “President Kensington, what do you mean?” “Get me the investigation results as soon as possible, and arrange for me to meet with Cortex’s CEO.” He said this while looking out at the fiery clouds in the sky, a hint of warmth flickering in his eyes. He added, “Don’t mention my name.” “Understood. I’ll arrange it right away.” The study was dimly lit, a habit he had developed over the years, wanting to cherish each sunset, as if that was the only way to slightly melt the frost within his heart

If you have the ability, take me to the police!”Not wanting to waste more time with this type of person, Luca knew it was quickest to send him to the police.“Call the police.

Let’s create some buzz!”Meanwhile, Vanessa was still working on the proposal, with Mariah offering suggestions beside her.“Technology needs intelligent services,” Vanessa explained confidently. “We should allow visitors to search for exhibitions through smart terminals and help them navigate to the relevant areas.”“That precision is essential,” Mariah agreed with a nod.Just then, a news report on the television grabbed their attention: “Ness Corp is the first to present its de

The two of them made quite the striking pair.It wasn’t every day that people saw such a good-looking couple, and the guests near the entrance began whispering among themselves.“Isn’t that the president of RC Group? Who’s the woman with him? I’ve never seen him with anyone before.”“That’s Vanessa Saxon, the president from the last Cortex bid. I didn’t know they were close.”As they entered the hall, a server approached with two glasses of wine.
