After pausing for a moment, the female designer said, “Besides, the boston ivies will also have particularly good heat insulation effect and sun protection. The temperature inside the house can also be lowered by a few degrees during the summer.”At this time, Helen could already see the lush appearance of the wall that was filled with the boston ivies, and she said excitedly, “That’s really great, then! I can already imagine how beautiful it would be at that time when the grass in the courtyard is also a large piece of green land coupled with the red brick walls and the green boston ivies!”The female designer nodded and said, “There will also be moss growing on the stone path in your courtyard when it rains in the summer. So, it will certainly be even more beautiful then, but you will have to pay more attention and be careful so that you do not slip when you walk.”As she spoke, the female designer looked at the time and said, “Aunt Dunn, I’ve understood all of your needs, so why
When she heard her mother’s words, Sophie was in an extremely good mood. She held her mother’s arm, and she could not hide her excitement as she said, “Mom, my benefactor called Grandpa in front of me today. Charlie told Grandpa that he was going to look for him to settle the score with him over the phone, and Grandpa was scared out of his wits…”“Is that so?” Helen could not help but ask, “Was Charlie seriously prepared to go and look for your grandfather to settle the score with him?”“Not exactly.” Sophie explained, “My benefactor felt that it would not do him any good if he were to go and settle the score with Grandpa now. On the contrary, he would only be doing my uncles and aunts as well as the Wade family a favor by giving them a huge benefit.”“Yes.” Helen agreed as she said, “There are so many people in the Schulz family who are looking forward to your grandfather meeting with a mishap as compared to Charlie. If Charlie were to really do something to him, the other members
Sophie hesitated for a moment and shook her head.She did not want to tell her mother that her elder brother had already completely switched allegiance to their grandfather’s side. After all, this was only her own speculation, and everyone had their own will. Her elder brother had made his own choice by choosing to pledge his loyalty to their grandfather, and there was no excuse for it.So, she explained, “Quinn Golding’s concert will start in a few days, and my brother will be busy during that time.”Helen nodded slightly and said, “Your brother seems to have genuine feelings for Quinn Golding.”“Yes.” Sophie said, “He has already liked Quinn Golding for a very long time, and he had always been looking for opportunities to get closer to her and confess his feelings for her.”Helen sighed and said, “That young lady from the Golding family is indeed very good, but it’s just that…”Sophie asked curiously, “Just what?”Helen paused for a moment and said emotionally, “It’s just that
When Helen heard these words, it was as if she was deep in thought as she said, “Based on your analysis, it is estimated that there is a 99% chance that the young lady from the Golding family came to Aurous Hill because of Charlie…”Sophie immediately felt a sense of panic.“I originally thought that my benefactor’s wife would be my biggest competitor. However, I would have never imagined that there would also be Quinn Golding, who is extremely popular all over the world…”“Moreover, Quinn Golding has a much greater advantage as compared to me…”“What’s more, the Golding family and the Wade family are family friends. Quinn Golding and Charlie also have a long-standing marriage contract. In comparison, I really do not have any advantage at all…”When Helen saw the lost expression on Sophie’s face, she comforted her, “Sophie, you should not think too much about this. Things such as feelings are not necessarily measured by the number of advantages. Some people might not be able to wi
When Hiroshi saw that Charlie was taking the initiative to greet him, he was immediately very flattered, and he said, “Hello, Mr. Wade! It has been a long time since we last met. I really did not expect that you would still remember me…”Charlie laughed and said, “My memory is not that bad. So, how could I not remember you?”After he was done speaking, he asked Yahiko, “I wonder how the both of you are feeling after coming to Oskia?”“Pretty good!” Yahiko said seriously, “Tanaka and I might be permanently disabled, but we are still firm in spirit. Over these few days, the both of us have been participating in various sports everywhere such as playing golf, bowling, and even swimming in the swimming pool when we had nothing to do. The doctor said that people in our situation should exercise more not just to improve our physical fitness, but most importantly, to speed up the ‘break in’ of the prostheses.”Hiroshi also nodded repeatedly and said, “The doctor said that if our physical
Yahiko felt inexplicably excited because of Charlie’s sentence that hinted that there might be a chance in the future.Although he knew that modern medicine was already very advanced, it was still simply impossible to achieve the regeneration of severed limbs.Moreover, at the moment, modern technology was simply unable to achieve a breakthrough for a one hundred percent cell recovery. This was also the reason why there would always be a scar after a wound, and why the skin would never go back to the way that it was before the injury.If there was just a slight cut on the wrist, after the wound recovered, the scar would still be there for a lifetime. So, how could it be possible for amputated legs to actually regenerate?Not to mention the regeneration of the legs, but even after the amputation of both legs, the two large scars that were the size of a bowl at the base of the thighs could not even be made to look consistent with the skin on the other parts of the body.Yahiko had a
When Charlie saw Nanako walking in, he smiled and said, “I came to see Mr. Ito, and I was also asking Mr. Ito to do me a favor.”Nanako hurriedly asked, “Then, has your matter already been resolved, Charlie-kun? Do you need my help?”Charlie smiled and said, “It has already been settled. I was just catching up with Mr. Ito.”Yahiko hurriedly waved at his daughter and said excitedly, “Nanako, Mr. Wade just told me that he might have a way to restore my legs to their original state in the future!”“Seriously?!” Nanako’s eyes widened, and she was extremely shocked and excited as she looked at Charlie and blurted out, “Charlie-kun, do you truly have a way to restore my father to his original state?”Charlie smiled as he spoke up, “There will be an opportunity to do so, but the time is not right yet.”When Nanako heard this, she was extremely happy as she said, “That’s wonderful! There will certainly be a chance if Charlie-kun says that there is a chance!”Yahiko was in a good mood,
“Zielinski Group?”When Charlie heard these words, he could not help but say mockingly, “I’ve heard of the Wade family, the Schulz family, and the Golding family, but I have never heard of Zielinski Group.”The other party immediately clamored, “I think that there must be something wrong with your brain if you have never heard of Zielinski Group before! Zielinski Group is the largest building materials group in Oskia with hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth in assets. Moreover, our young master, Tom Zielinski’s popularity in the country is not any lower as compared to Quinn Golding. He is currently the hottest male singer in the country!”Charlie nodded as he deliberately said in a complimentary tone, “Oh, that’s amazing! In that case, your young master is the male version of Quinn Golding?”The other party raised his brows before he blurted out, “Of course! Quinn Golding is a top-class female singer, and our young master is a top-class male singer. Miss Golding has a very stron
"That would be Ashley Layna Acker," Matilda replied without hesitation. "She was our age, as well as a major investor in Silicon Valley, while we were only starting to get our first clients. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the shining example in many case studies when it comes to business."Pausing, she then continued, "And she used to be your classmate, right? I remember you mentioning that in our conversations before.""Yes," Yolden sighed emotionally. "She was a classmate and the star of our generation."Matilda nodded but soon shook her head, "Wait, weren't we talking about Charlie's car company? What does that have to do with Ashley Acker?" "Here's where I let you in on a secret," Yolden said. "But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone except Paul."Matilda nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry—if it's a secret, I won't tell Paul either."Yolden scratched his head. "Actually, Paul should know. We are going to marry soon, and he's my stepson, lega
In fact, the legal department of major enterprises covered many responsibilities, the chief of which concerned intellectual property, which was why veterans were needed to lead.Additionally, Charlie trusted Matilda's accomplishments in the legal field, especially since she had worked in the United States for years.With Curtis Autos' intended expansion worldwide, that meant the legal department should also know the laws of countries abroad, ready to file or respond to lawsuits at any time. After all, competitors may use the law to impede their growth, along with the government applying unfair policies to impede their development and impact on local businesses.Moreover, Charlie considered Paul young and therefore lacking in experience, not to mention that it was not likely he would abandon his family's law firm. As such, the ideal solution was to poach Matilda for now.As for Matilda, she was still in the dark and had no idea what she was in for, asking Charlie in confusion, "Lega
Later, after Charlie told Jeremiah over the phone about the joint venture with the Ackers to establish Curtis Autos, the old man was awash with tears, especially after Charlie told him that it was Keith who suggested it. After all, Curtis was his favorite son whose death he could never really get over. Moreover, he once believed that only his family mourned Curtis while the Ackers never did, and he held a grudge over his son's passing. As such, he was surprised that Keith held such great respect toward his late son and didn't hesitate to say yes when Charlie invited him to Aurous Hill to sign an agreement with the Ackers.Still, Charlie wasn't in a hurry to arrange for a specific time, and he was going to let the Ackers sort out the human resources of Godot Autos over a few days. It still wouldn't be too late by then.Moreover, he was keen to allow the buzz to have time to grow so that the automotive industry would be astounded by the joint project between the Ackers and the Wade
Christian was the first to exclaim in approval, "Yes! Curtis Autos sounds wonderful! It has my vote!""Seconded!" Kaiden nodded, pumping the air with his right fist. "I've looked up to Curtis the most, and I absolutely agree with naming the company after him!"Jaxson was nodding too. "Me too!""Yes!" Lulu chirped.Yolden couldn't help agreeing as well. "Curtis Autos is definitely a good name!"Merlin raised his hand gingerly as well. "Quit it with your flattery already," Keith chuckled, and he turned toward Charlie solemnly. "In the end, Curtis is Charlie's father, and the final decision goes to him!"Charlie's eyes were welling up with tears—his parents had been gone for almost three decades, yet he had never thought of dedicating anything to their memory.As such, Keith's suggestion to use Curtis's name for the car company left him thrilled. After all, wouldn't his father's soul be honored if Curtis Autos rocked the country, maybe even the world?With that in mind, he nodd
Charlie also had to agree that this was an opportunity to formally reconcile the Wades and the Ackers.While he couldn't reveal himself just yet, the Wades and the Ackers had been in-laws for years. Even if they had had a dispute for the longest time, restoring good relations made sense now that the Ackers had come to Oskia, and it wouldn't arouse any suspicion.That was why Charlie agreed to it without hesitation, even making a mental note to invite his paternal grandfather, Jeremiah, to Aurous Hill.The old geezers could meet up and clear the air while deciding on the partnership.Yolden was prepared to resign as a professor as well so that he could help the Ackers and Charlie fully develop their automotive company.With a general direction planned, he asked everyone, "Since we're creating a new brand, has anyone come up with a name?"No one was feeling inspired at that moment, but that was when Lulu, who had been silent throughout, said, "Since Charlie and our family are worki
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
