Wynn quickly signed the termination agreement .
As for the compensation , she promised to pay it within the specified time in the agreement .
After receiving the news , Matthias snorted , “ She sure is quick to act . ”
The subsequent matters were handled by the lawyers . After Wynn signed the termination agreement , neither Celeste nor Matthias paid much attention to it .
Three days later , Zachary had a break , and the three of them hadn’t seen each other for a while , so they made plans to meet for a meal .
At noon , Celeste and Matthias left the office . When they arrived at the restaurant , they ran into Wynn and Trevor at the entrance .
With them was also Donald Johansen , the CEO of another local AI company .
Donald and Matthias were familiar with each other and had a decent relationship . They would often sit down and chat when they met .
Now , seeing Matthias , Donald greeted him first , “ Mr. Yoder . ”
Matthias didn’t even glance at Trevor and Wynn , responding with a smile , “ Mr. Johansen . ”
Donald also knew that InnovaTech had approached him only after terminating the contract with YodaVision .
Seeing Matthias ‘ cold demeanor toward Trevor and Wynn , Donald assumed that they had had an unpleasant fallout over the contract termination , which was why Matthias was so indifferent .
In the past , even when Matthias was cold , Trevor and Wynn would always make an effort to greet him . But this time , neither of them took the initiative to speak to Matthias .
Wynn’s gaze toward Matthias was noticeably colder than before .
As for Celeste , she still didn’t bother to look at her .
Not wanting to linger on the matter , Matthias and Celeste immediately walked into the restaurant after greeting Donald .
After taking the elevator up and entering the private room , Matthias finally said with a cold smile , “ They just terminated the contract with us , and now they’re already working with DataWing . Trevor sure knows how to make big moves . ”
Donald’s company , DataWing Inc. , was also one of the leading AI companies in the country .
Working with DataWing , in terms of collaboration fees , would likely be far higher than when they worked with YodaVision .
Celeste sat down , poured a glass of water , and said , “ Their language system was the best in the country last year ;
one else even comes close . It’s not surprising that they would turn to Donald .
no
“ Moreover , after terminating the contract with us , this is the best way for them to make up for the lost opportunity .
“ They have no reason not to choose DataWing . ”
Matthias understood this reasoning , of course . But the more he understood , the more upset he felt .
He became increasingly frustrated and said , “ So , I guess Trevor paid the termination fee for InnovaTech , right ? ”
Celeste didn’t answer .
At that moment , Zachary arrived .
When he entered the room , neither Celeste nor Matthias brought up the matter again . They didn’t want to sully Zachary’s ears with their messy issues .
Whenever they met with Zachary , they usually talked about new developments in the Al field . Given that they rarely met , this meal lasted quite a while .
It was nearly two hours before they finished their meal .
However , when they left the private room and headed toward the elevator , the door to the adjacent room opened as well .
Trevor , Wynn , and Donald appeared before Celeste and Matthias .
Before either of them could speak , Donald saw Zachary and greeted him first . “ Mr. Newman . ”
Donald was also from the AI field and had some level of recognition .
Zachary nodded when he heard his name .
Trevor also greeted Zachary , and Wynn followed suit , saying , “ Mr. Newman . ”
Zachary’s expression was cold , and he didn’t speak .
At that moment , a group of people from the other side of the hallway turned the corner and saw them . They froze for a moment , especially when they noticed Zachary was also present .
Celeste quickly withdrew her gaze when she saw it was Jorge .
Jorge regained his composure and , after glancing at Wynn , he was the first to greet Zachary , “ Mr. Newman . ”
Zachary lightly nodded , still not saying anything .
Jorge then glanced at Wynn , Trevor , and Celeste before speaking , “ Are you all here together ? ”
He had already heard about the termination between YodaVision and InnovaTech . He also heard that Wynn felt that Matthias lacked sincerity in continuing to cooperate with them .
So , even if YodaVision hadn’t terminated the contract , given Matthias ‘ attitude , it was likely that they would cause trouble in the future .
So , she agreed to YodaVision’s request for termination for long – term consideration .
However , it seemed a bit strange that they had just terminated their contract with InnovaTech and were now having a meal together .
Wynn knew what he was thinking and quickly responded to his question , “ No , we just ran into each other . ”
Jorge smiled slightly , “ I see . ”
He knew it .
Celeste and Matthias weren’t interested in continuing the small talk with Jorge , Trevor , or Wynn .
Celeste was about to speak , but Matthias beat her to it , say
Zachary nodded and was about to turn to leave when Jorge ) him , Trevor , and Wynn .
His face turned cold before he suddenly stepped forward at We met not long ago . I’m not sure if you remember me ? ”
“ I do . ” Zachary glanced at him . “ So ? ”
Celeste was about to speak , but Matthias beat her to it , saying to Zachary , “ Prof , let’s go . ”
Zachary nodded and was about to turn to leave when Jorge , noticing their cold attitude and their disregard for him , Trevor , and Wynn .
His face turned cold before he suddenly stepped forward and said , “ Mr. Newman , my father is Theodore Robinson . We met not long ago . I’m not sure if you remember me ? ”
“ I do . ” Zachary glanced at him . “ So ? ” 1
