Charlie laughed and said, “I wanted to give you a surprise!”After he spoke, Claire ran up to him and leaped into his arms.For the past few days when Charlie was in Japan, Claire missed him day and night. Before this, she seldom had this kind of feeling. When Charlie went to Eastcliff, she also missed him but not as much as she did now. Therefore, when she saw Charlie come back, she couldn't hold back and hugged him immediately. Charlie never thought that his wife would hug him straight away in front of her parents. He felt both happy and shy too. So, he told Claire, “Darling, you should wait till we’re in our room to hug. After all, your parents are watching us.” Claire came to her senses and blushed. With shyness and fear, she said, “We just saw from the news that there was a massacre in Japan a few days ago. More than thirty people were reported dead. It’s so terrifying!” Charlie was surprised and asked, “Is this on national news?” ”Yes!” Claire

Seeing that Elaine was full of eagerness, Charlie placed the suitcase on the floor to open it. Elane, who was by the side, could not resist further. She squatted down and said flatteringly, “My good son-in-law, how could I trouble you with this. Come, let me help you!”Charlie smiled helplessly and did not object. Elaine opened the suitcase and saw a huge Boss plastic bag at the top. She could not help but ask, “Is this Boss for men?” Charlie nodded and said, “I picked a suit for Dad. Since he is the director at the Calligraphy and Painting Association, he’ll look dignified in this suit whenever he has any events to attend!” Jacob, who was by the side, was very grateful and said, “Oh Charlie. You are a good son-in-law! I’ve always wanted a suit to wear to events but have been reluctant to buy one all these while. I never thought that you would buy me one. Thank you so much!” Elaine curled her lips and threw the plastic bag containing the suit at Jacob’s feet before sh

“Darling, I bought this for you. Open it and see if you like it!”Feeling shocked, Claire asked, “You bought this for me? Darling, it’s your hard-earned money. Normally, you don’t even spend on yourself. But once you’re outside, you always buy things for me…” Elaine, who was standing beside her, quickly said, “Silly girl. Charlie loves you, cares for you, and pampers you. He’s a good man! Look at your dad, this old stingy man—since when has he ever bought me something valuable?”Jacob answered angrily, “You’re in control of the household finances. I have no money, so how could I possibly buy you things?”Elaine quipped, “Nonsense! Despite other husbands having no money too, they would still try their best to give their wives things. What about you? Don’t tell me you’ve never secretly kept some money after so many years? Don’t use having no money as an excuse.” Jacob picked up the suit that Charlie gave him and said, “I won’t quarrel over such matters. I’m going to my room to t

At this time, Claire was already moved to tears.She was also overwhelmed with emotions when she looked back on all those years that she had been married to Charlie. Back then, Claire could not understand why her grandfather had insisted on her getting married to Charlie. Her whole family had also strongly opposed their marriage but her grandfather used his sovereignty to make her compromise and give in.However, since it was a forced marriage, Claire had misunderstood the concept of a marriage from the very beginning.After getting married to Charlie, the marriage that she understood was simply for her to obey and abide by her grandfather’s request and act dutifully as Charlie’s wife. They had both continued to live together like that. It did not matter whether they were suited for each other, or whether they liked each other.Therefore, they had both been living very respectfully towards one another for a very long time. In fact, even though they were legally married, they were

Charlie knew that his wife was a very shy woman. Furthermore, she did not have much experience in this aspect. So, how would she possibly be able to tolerate Elaine’s teasing then?So, Charlie hurriedly said, “Mom, Claire is a very shy person. You should stop teasing her and making fun of her.”Elaine smiled before she said, “Claire, did you see that? Charlie is always thinking of you and looking out for you!”After she spoke, Elaine stretched a little before she said, “I am not going to chat with both of you anymore. I have to go inside and take pictures of my bracelet now. You two should rest earlier too!”As she was speaking, Jacob suddenly walked out of the elevator dressed in his new Boss suit.As soon as he saw the three of them, he hurriedly made a few turns in front of the elevator with a smug look on his face. After that, he smiled as he said, “Look! I still have some foundation, right? This suit is simply tailor-made for me. I am already in my fifties but I did not put o

If it weren’t because Charlie had overheard the conversation that Isaac had with his aunt over the phone on the way home, Charlie would have really believed that this woman on the other end of the line was really being so enthusiastic from the bottom of her heart.So, Charlie also pretended to be very surprised as he smiled and said, “Aunt! Is it really you? Why did you suddenly think of calling me?”Carmen actually did not want to call Charlie at all.In fact, she had originally passed on the order to Isaac, asking him to directly inform Charlie to go to Shangri-La for dinner tomorrow.However, Lord Wade had specifically come to look for her a while ago to ask her to personally make a phone call to Charlie.That way, it would seem as though she was more sincere. After all, Carmen and Charlie had not seen each other for so many years. A phone call in advance to get in touch with one another was also tantamount to warming up to one another in advance then. Lord Wade felt that it wo

The next day, Claire woke up early before going to the company to work.After eating the breakfast prepared by Elaine, Charlie spent the whole day thinking about Carmen.Ever since Stephen found him, the Wade family had never shown up or appeared directly in his life.As for Charlie, he really enjoyed and liked this situation where he did not have to deal with anyone from the Wade family at all.However, if Carmen was going to break the silence between him and the Wade family this time, then this could only mean that the Wade family had already begun their plan to try and win him over. No matter what it was and no matter what their intentions were, they did not want Charlie to continue remaining in Aurous Hill.Even if he were to reject and turn down his aunt’s request after meeting her today, the Wade family would not give up just like that.It seemed as though the Wade family would become a long-term trouble for him in future.***At 5.30 pm, Charlie told his mother-in-law, E

Charlie stepped into the dining area of Shangri-La.The huge dining area at Shangri-La was indeed very empty today.Most of the waiters had also been evacuated. According to Isaac, he was afraid that Carmen would get upset and frustrated if he left too many waiters working at the dining area.Charlie walked through the outer dining area before he reached the Sky Garden, which was in the center of the dining area. At this time, all eighty-eight banquet tables in the Sky Garden’s banquet hall had already been completely removed and there was only one exquisite Western-style dining table left in the center of the hall.Charlie did not even need to think about it to know that his aunt must have been the person who had instructed them to remove all eighty-eight banquet tables and chairs.So, he could not help but feel a little dissatisfied and disgusted.Although Charlie had not met his aunt yet, his aunt’s excessive and extravagant style of doing things really made him feel very disg

Neither Charlie nor the Ackers expected Yolden's insight to cover all corners.In fact, it felt like the man had a blueprint ready and was only waiting for the time to put it to use.That was why everyone was immensely approving of Yolden and wanted no other man for the job of CEO.Kaeden smiled, "Well, since everyone has agreed, let's put this to rest as soon as possible—this will be a joint investment between our family and the Wades, and Professor Hart will take the post of CEO. Let's all do our best to make this a good one!"Yolden also made up his mind, deciding that he didn't want to let slip a chance to realize his ambitions. "I'll resign from the university after my honeymoon trip. It probably shouldn't be long, and I can get involved in early preparations via teleconference."Charlie nodded. "Then, we can have Uncle Kaeden stay on schedule while I'll ask the Wades to send a representative over to sign a memorandum for the investment."Keith smiled and nodded. "You should

Charlie hadn't been born and raised in Aurous Hill, but he still started living here at the age of eight and was more attached to this place than Eastcliff.If he was going to take part in this automotive investment with the Ackers, he naturally found Aurous Hill the ideal location.Not only would it create a huge number of jobs for Aurous Hill, but it would also rake in much economic flow for the region.Yolden also nodded at his suggestion. "If the first plant is meant to cover the demand of the entire local market, there's no reason for a coastal plant. Aurous Hill stands at an intersection between the north and the south, so transportation is convenient. It's also killing two birds with one stone, as Mr. Wade is fond of the city."Charlie couldn't help but agree. "I won't lie—Aurous Hill has been good to me, and I hope to give back. Nothing's better than succeeding in that respect."Yolden spread his hands, "Heavy industries are certainly ideal to contribute to Aurous Hill's e

Yolden had actually been researching new energy for a while—in fact, it was when Tesla's first car models were produced.He was passionate about the subject and had his own opinions as well as ambitions, but he was busy teaching, so he couldn't realize any of it.But was this not a golden opportunity tailor-made for him?Seeing that Yolden was clearly interested, Charlie turned toward Kaeden, "Actually, the professor is getting married soon. There's no way we'd split up newlyweds so soon after the wedding, right? So, is it possible to set up base in Aurous Hill instead?""Not a problem!" Kaeden replied without hesitation. "Our family is planning to return to Oskia anyway, and everyone knows about Ashley and Curtis. So, why don't we invest in this enterprise alongside the Wades and have the base set up in Aurous Hill? And then bring Godot under as a subsidiary?"Turning to Yolden, he continued, "By the way, Godot's plant is already in the province—barely 100 miles from Aurous Hill,

Pausing, Yolden continued, "Moreover, the greatest advantage of AI is that it is self-conscious and has the processing power to analyze astronomical proportions of data. As car sales grow, every car owner's driving data will add precious new data to our data vault, and it will be processed by AI for even greater space of imagination."For example, kst's say I experienced a bumpiness along a certain road, and when the sensors pick up on that anomaly, the data will be uploaded to the servers along with images of the road condition in real time. The processing AI module would determine in no time at all that there was damage and label said location on the map, and then forward the data to other vehicles close to that location, sending notifications when they are close enough and providing the appropriate advice for countermeasures."Naturally, the AI can even be refined further so that it immediately warns us to slow down while uploading the data to the servers and informing any cars cl

Yolden's mind short-circuited at those words. "The most advanced AI module?!"He had been working on Wall Street for years, having invested in substantial startup tech companies as well as assisting plenty of Nasdaq tech enterprises with their IPO. That was why he especially had a sharp six sense for cutting-edge technology.It had been a while since he had gotten up the saddle, and AI had just become the trend recently, but he still paid close attention. He was well aware what applications were possible for AI modules, but he was shocked that Charlie already possessed what all the online giants were coveting!Thrilled, he quickly asked Charlie, "Can the Rothschilds resolve all the hardware and software issues? High-processing power display cards are a dime a dozen these days, and local enterprises are all planning to sell them one by one. The demand is just that high!"Charlie chuckled. "Don't worry—the Rothschilds will handle both issues for me, even the data centers. We bought i

Keith, who had been silent throughout, waved him off as he said solemnly, "Please don't sell yourself short, Professor Hart. I'm sure you can do well in this position, but it's still a matter of will."If your heart is truly set on educating future generations, then I'm sure you'd reject our offer no matter what we say."However, if you felt the slightest interest, even anticipation, for such a major project, then you really should consider our offer."We've already invested in Godot Autos for 3 billion USD and over 10 billion if we're counting in Ricebolt. But we still have 30 billion more in capital available—and that means it's 40 billion USD at play."I doubt any other global car maker can afford that much, let alone a new car maker. So, I dare say that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"Keith's words spoke to Yolden's very soul—a startup capital of forty billion US dollars was certainly unprecedented for electric-powered vehicles. Even Ricebolt had barely garnered ove

Charlie smiled. "Who, me? You'd laugh at me, but it was only after Steven found me that I learned to drive. I never bought my own car either and only had the two supercars gifted to me, and I only drove those a handful of times at best. Even now, I'm driving the BMW 5-series I bought for my father-in-law."Then, he remembered Marianne Long and said, "I did drive a friend's Tesla back to Hong Kong, but it was only for a short time, and I didn't manage to look into their so-called assisted driving system."Yolden thought about it and smiled, "But y'know… how would I describe the car, specifically? Have you heard of Mario Balotelli, the soccer player?"Every man present aside from Keith nodded—Mario had been a philosopher on the soccer field, and even those who didn't watch soccer were familiar with his name.Nodding, Yolden continued, "The way I see it, Mario has been a player with top-class hardware but third-rate software. Give him Messi or Ronaldinho's intelligence, and he'd be a

Kaeden then asked, "Well, professor, how do you suppose we overtake the competition at turning points? Or indeed, what qualifies as succeeding in that respect?"Yolden thought about it, formulating his words before explaining, "My personal understanding of the matter isn't simply to aim for turning points. Instead, it's things like staying on the inner lane of the race track and reaching the finish line faster by going where no other race car had gone before—or indeed where people never thought to go before."That's the case for new energy cars. Our fossil fuel energies have constantly lost to other countries and would always come up short. But with new energy cars, we can change the rules altogether."We can't catch up to their engine tech? Then we won't—there's no way they are masters in electric-powered engines, are they? They've spent decades on internal combustion engines and haven't the first clue about electric-powered engines."So, while everyone hasn't turned all their foc

The Ackers were really interested in Yolden's perspective.For their family, investing in the new energy automotive industry wasn't meant to make money—they simply intended to add to Oskia's strength as a manufacturer.But with Yolden's input, they had new things to look forward to.If they really could propel their business to giants like Tesla, opportunities and profits would go without saying—there was also no question that it supported and improved Oskia's local car industry and manufacturing sector.Giants in the manufacturing sector were different from online giants, as the latter often enforced a stranglehold monopoly. Before they had the monopoly, they would be offering perks and subsidies to the market, and when they gained sufficient customers and consumer faith, they would start choking the market for profits.To put it in perspective, a five-mile Uber ride would cost five bucks before, and the driver would be paid ten for it. But after Uber got the monopoly, the rider
