"Is it Miss Riddle and Mr.Ellison?" The receptionist asked.
"Yes"
"This way, please."
The receptionist guided them to the dinner venue.
Unlike the daytime seminar, there were some unfamiliar faces at the dinner.
As Nicole and Harvey made their way inside, those who knew them greeted them.
"Here we meet again, Miss Riddle." Scott came up to her.
"I'm seeing a lot of unfamiliar faces, Mr.Harmon."
Nicole looked over at the surrounding people.
"These are the local prestige families who have some business dealings with me.But you can just relax and talk to them.It is good for Riddle Corporation's future," Scott said.
Nicole smiled.
"I was impressed by your speech at the seminar during the day, and I have gained a lot of confidence.The manned flying car project is not a simple experiment.It must take someone with conviction and determination to lead the team.I was planning to lead the team myself, but something more important came up.I need to take care of it.By observing you during the day, I know you are equipped with leadership skills and have a firm belief in manned flying cars, so—"
"Mr.Harmon, are you telling me to lead the R&D team, are you?" Nicole interrupted him.
"That's right.I couldn't find a more suitable candidate other than you."
"Mr.Harmon, as you said, a manned flying car is not a simple experiment.I know nothing about R&D and really can't handle it.Thank you for your invitation."
Nicole politely refused, as she had more important things to do.
Besides, those dark forces were watching her from the dark.
With all sorts of complications that she was facing, it was a potential threat to the R&D team.Since Nicole refused, Scott could only ask her to agree in a tactful way.
"I know you don't understand R&D.In fact, you don't have to do anything.Just come over from time to time and give the team members a shot in the arm.The assistants will handle the rest for you."
"Mr.Harmon—"
Nicole was about to say something else when Harvey nudged her on the side.
"Mr.Harmon, Nicole might need a little time to think about it, since this is no small matter,"Harvey spoke up to smooth things over.
"Right.Maybe I'm too desperate.Hope you don't mind, Miss Riddle.There's no rush to reply to me.You go back and think about it.I will leave you guys to it."иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм
Scott excused himself, not giving Nicole another chance to refuse.
"Harvey, what are you doing?"
Nicole looked at him with displeasure.
"Don't rush to refuse requests from such a prominent figure like Mr.Harmon.Agree to his request first and then roll with the punches."
Harvey had been in the business world for a long enough time to know the rules.
"Let's not talk about other things.If you take part in the development of the manned flying car, there will be more opportunities for business between Riddle Corporation and Aegis Corporation.I'm sure not only Aegis Corporation but also many other companies will seek cooperation with Riddle Corporation next in the future."
Harvey seemed to have seen the bright future of Riddle Corporation.
After listening to Harvey's analysis, Nicole suddenly felt that there was really no harm in it for Riddle Corporation.
"Well, let's leave it at that."
As Mr.Harmon had already walked off to chat with others, she could only make considerations.
"Harvey, have you seen Ike?" Nicole asked, suddenly remembering what had happened during the day.
"Not yet.If I were him, I'm sure I wouldn't be here either," Harvey said.
Nicole sighed.
If it was as Harvey had said during the day, it would not be easy to find Ike again.
The two scanned the venue without finding Ike, so they came to the lounge and sat down, watching the bigwigs at the dinner talk to each other.
Just then, a voice rang out.
"Why are you two sitting here?"
Ike came late because he was tied up with something earlier.
Looking toward the voice, Harvey exclaimed, "Ike?"
"Are you glad to see me?" Ike greeted Harvey warmly.
After what happened in the experience center, he felt like they were comrades in arms who had gone to war together.
