Chapter 482
On Monday, Celeste still went to the Fleming Group for a meeting. Trevor also had an important meeting to attend, so this time, he didn’t personally go downstairs to sit in and listen to Celeste’s meeting. However, after his meeting ended, Jacob and Zeke heard Trevor ask, “Is the meeting downstairs over? Has the follow-up handling plan been sent up? If it’s here, bring it over for me.” 1 Previously, they knew that Trevor had gone downstairs to listen in on Celeste’s meetings.
Hearing him say this, Jacob and Zeke exchanged a glance, then looked at the pile of documents in front of Trevor. Trevor was leaving on a business trip tomorrow, so he had to finish processing all the documents on his desk today.” In contrast to the work discussed in Celeste’s meeting today, which would not officially begin until next month, the plan was still only in its preliminary form. Trevor could easily wait until after his trip to deal with it.
But since he had spoken, Zeke went back to the office to find —- the documents just delivered from downstairs and handed them to Trevor. Although the plan was called a preliminary draft, in reality, Celeste already had a solid grasp on the follow-up work. The report Trevor received was clear and detailed. After getting the document, Trevor went straight to the specific handling steps. The pages were full of technical jargon, most of which Jacob and Zeke couldn’t really understand.
The plan was fairly long, but after reading just a small part, they noticed a faint smile slowly appearing on Trevor’s face. 1 When reading, Trevor only skimmed for key terms. Then, they saw him reading faster and faster-eight to nine pages of content were finished in under three minutes. 1 By the time he was done, the smile in his eyes was almost impossible to hide.
2 It was clear to them that he was very satisfied with the plan Just as Jacob and Zeke were about to speak, Trevor closed the document, looked at them, and said, “They should be going to a group lunch later. Zeke, go tell them that I’ll be joining as well.” 2 Both of them froze for a moment. —- Then, Zeke replied, “Alright.” Indeed, Celeste’s group had a lunch gathering scheduled for noon.
When it was almost time to leave, Celeste and the others were just about to set off when the head of Fleming Group’s technical department, Lazarus Collet, said to them, “Just got word that Mr. Fleming will also be coming to lunch.” Celeste didn’t show much reaction. Matthias, who was also present today, pursed his lips when he heard this. Leaning toward Celeste, he muttered, “With the current stage of cooperation between the two companies, there’s no need for him to get personally involved.
What’s he coming for?” + Celeste shook her head. If he didn’t know, she naturally didn’t know either. Trevor still had quite a bit to handle, so Celeste, Matthias, and the others arrived at the restaurant and waited for a while before he arrived with Jacob later. When Trevor appeared, several senior executives and engineers from Fleming Group immediately stood to greet him.
—- After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he turned his gaze to Celeste and Matthias, took the initiative to shake hands, and said, “I’ve read the follow-up handling plan. The ideas are excellent. Thank you for your hard work.” = The senior staff from the technical department were all rather surprised to hear this. Their plan had only just been submitted, yet Trevor had already read it? That fast?
