“It’s solved! It’s really solved!”

Luca shouted excitedly, “She actually solved it!”

Jalen was slightly taken aback and frowned. “Have you lost your mind?!”

The rest of the team members also impatiently turned their attention to him.

“Luca, what are you doing?”

“What’s the matter with you this afternoon? We’ve been busy in the lab, but you disappeared. What did you solve?”

“Did you solve our core problem?”

As soon as these words came out, Luca immediately nodded. “Yes, The problem is solved!”

He dragged lalen toward his workstation and pointed at the computer. “Jalen, look! We weren’t able to solve it because we were biased. It can be done like this…”

He roughly explained the solution flow he had just understood. After he finished, the entire team was shocked.

“So it could be done like this!”

“Luca, you are impressive!”

“Jalen won’t need to resign!”

While everyone else was in awe, Jalen, who was staring at the computer, suddenly noticed the email was sent by Keira…

He was slightly stunned and looked at Luca surprisingly. “This solution is from…”

“It’s from Keira! She gave it to me last Friday, but I didn’t check it out because it was the end of the working day!”

At Luca’s words, all the team members looked at Keira in disbelief.

How could this be?

They had been wrestling with this problem for a month, was it really cracked by this young woman standing in front of them?!

Last Friday… She just started the job!

Keira stood there quietly, exuding an aloof and indifferent aura.

Amazement seemed to emerge from her eyes, and she asked indifferently, “So, this is the problem you’ve been wrestling with?”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Why did they feel like the words “that’s it?” were written all over her face?

Everyone swallowed, still finding it hard to believe. “Aren’t you just an undergraduate?”

Hearing these words, Keira said seriously, “Abilities aren’t determined by educational qualifications.”

Everyone sobered up for a moment.

After a moment of silence, someone spoke up, “I’m sorry for treating you that way in the elevator.”

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said you were earning without working. You alone did what our whole team couldn’t do.”

“I said you should learn from me, but I was really overestimating myself. You wouldn’t learn anything from us with your skills…”

“We’ve belittled you!”

Everyone here was a simple-minded researcher.

Keira knew clearly that these people only treated her that way before out of frustration.

She said lightly, “It’s okay.”

Jalen slowly walked toward her, still looking arrogant. Clenching his jaw, he extended his hand to her. “Welcome to the team.”

Initially, she was forcefully squeezed into the team due to her connections, but now, he had recognized her capabilities.

Clap, clap, clap!

There was suddenly applause at the door.

Everyone turned their heads to see the research department’s director and a dark-faced Jake walk in.

The director of the research department said, “Young people today shouldn’t be underestimated! I didn’t expect Miss Olsen’s professional abilities to be so strong.”

Jake stared at Keira, his eyes full of complicated emotions.

He certainly knew about Keira’s talent in academic fields. His affection for her over the years wasn’t entirely due to her looks, but he didn’t expect her to be able to solve the team’s core technical problem!

Such a talent would definitely fly high if given the opportunity to further her studies!

Her future achievements might not be inferior to Dr. South…

But that was in the future. In the short term, Dr. South was beyond her reach!

Jake clenched his fists, his gaze gradually becoming determined.

He desperately needed to control the research department and consolidate his position at the Horton Group. He had no time to wait for her growth.

Moreover, she was an illegitimate daughter…

He couldn’t possibly marry her, considering her status or capability.

Suppressing the hesitation, he glared at Jalen in a sinister manner. “I was actually considering letting Dr. South help you if you couldn’t finish the task in time…”

The team members’ eyes widened at the words.

“My god, Dr. South!”

“Receiving guidance from Dr. South or working with him would be my ultimate dream!”

“If I could meet Dr. South, I’d rather remain single for life!”

Listening to the reactions of the crowd, Jalen replied with a hardened face, “We won’t bother Dr. South with such trivial issues.”

However, Jake said, “Dr. South is basically our technical support. It would be right for him to lend a hand.”

Keira frowned slightly upon hearing this.

She clearly refused Isla. How did she become the technical support for the Horton Group?

Looking at Jake’s confident demeanor, Isla must have lied again!

Jake narrowed his eyes and continued. “Jalen, actually, I happen to need an assistant who knows the technique, so I considered adjusting Keira’s position. You and I are both core members of the research department. There’s no need to be at odds. As long as you agree, I’ll arrange for Dr. South to provide technical support to you right away.”

He said this on purpose, just to let the members of Group One know that as long as they gave up Keira, he could get them in touch with Dr. South!

The attraction of Dr. South to these researchers was too great.

Group One’s members would certainly oppose Jalen’s decision…

Keira’s face darkened as well, feeling extremely irritated by Jake.

She looked at the staff members on the team and saw their faces change. They understood the implications…

Everyone exchanged glances, all with indecisive expressions on their faces.

Keira’s eyes dimmed.

She just started working a few days ago. Although the team members were good to her last week, they’d only known her for a day and a half…

Jake looked at the expressions of team one’s members, knowing that his scheme to stir up strife was working. Therefore, he continued.” Jalen, do you agree to let her go now? In fact, letting Keira follow me will be better for her future…”

Jalen grimaced and firmly replied, “No.”

Keira blinked, a little surprised.

Jake chuckled. “Our company has always been very democratic. You can’t be the only one to decide on the team’s matters. If you don’t let her go, do the other members agree? Does the team really not need Dr. South?”

After he said this, everyone on the team immediately fell silent.

Jalen stood up straight, looking angrily at the team members.

Keira suddenly laughed.

She didn’t want to reveal her identity initially to avoid being harassed, but now she didn’t want to go through any unnecessary tests of humanity either…

She looked directly at Jake and said coldly, “Did you ask for my consent before using Dr.. South as a bargaining chip?”
