No Wife, No Life Chapter 188
Harper smiled softly.
She'd been so wrapped up with FusionX Company that she almost forgot about Connor. She hadn't reached out, but here he was, looking for her.
Harper picked up a contract from the table and said with a smile, "I heard your company mainly deals in pharmaceuticals and medical devices. So, you're here to team up with Mr. Bailey, right?"
Manuel's research in this field was top-notch internationally, and companies like Vanguard Technologies Ltd. were eager to collaborate with them.
She directed her gaze towards Logan, who served as the chief negotiator for Vanguard Technologies Ltd."Sorry, even though your company has offered the best terms, I don't think I'll agree to collaborate with you." Harper's tone was calm but left no room for doubt.
Connor's family mainly ran medical institutions, but in reality, the company had become outdated due to its conservative approach.
To seek new opportunities, Vanguard Technologies Ltd. was participating in this financial summit.
If their medical institutions failed, Connor's possession of a noble title would be rendered utterly meaningless.
Logan's face turned grim when Harper decisively rejected their collaboration.
Vanguard Technologies Ltd. had come to Majestic City mainly to collaborate with HoloSphere Technologies and FusionX Company.
Now, with Harper's FusionX Company and HoloSphere Technologies being allies, and Harper collaborating with Manuel, rejecting their collaboration meant they had no opportunities left in Majestic City.
After saying this, Harper raised an eyebrow and looked at Connor again.
This time, her gaze was cold and filled with more hostility. "In your words, if you harm my family, I will repay in kind."
She emphasized the word "family" to remind him that Caden was her family.
Since Connor had harmed him, she would definitely retaliate.
Connor was so intimidated by her fierce demeanor that he shivered.
It seemed Harper was not just a simple beauty; she was sharp and would strike back fiercely if threatened.
Logan had nothing more to say. He sighed lightly and walked away with his people.
After they left, Harper stood up, ready to go to the restroom.
As she walked past the Lavien Group's area, she glanced at their latest proposal.
She saw many high-level executives from the Lavien Group, including Quinn and Emily, but not Travis.
It was strange that Travis, Alex's secretary, was not present at such an event.
Quinn noticed her gaze and waved as if greeting her.
But to Harper, the gesture seemed more like a provocation.
It seemed her conversation with Travis had made his position in the Lavien Group awkward.
But she didn't regret it. Travis would have to face this sooner or later; she just expedited the process.
When Travis left the Lavien Group for FusionX Company or HoloSphere Technologies, she would give him the position he deserved and ensure he wouldn't regret it.
There were also Arthur's Davis Group and Charles's Johnson Group, each with their own areas at the exhibition.
However, compared to the dominant HoloSphere Technologies and FusionX Company, their performances were markedly inferior.
After all, Harper's recent moves had been monumental; she initially launched an AI autonomous driving system, followed by a successful collaboration with Manuel in the field of bionic organ transplantation research. Each of these endeavors was a definitive leader in their respective fields, making it exceedingly difficult to compete with her company.
The financial summit in Majestic City lasted three days, during which FusionX Company and HoloSphere Technologies racked up numerous contracts.
As expected, the biggest winners were FusionX Company and HoloSphere Technologies.
Many people saw that HoloSphere Technologies' success was due to their capital and extensive international connections.
FusionX Company, on the other hand, owed much of its success to Harper's involvement.
Harper infused the company with new vitality, drawing in talents such as Manuel.
Late at night, Quinn was staring at the financial summit data on his computer, his face expressionless.
After a while, he slowly removed his glasses and rubbed his tired eyes.
Harper had brought too many changes.
He had anticipated that Harper would bring new life to FusionX Company, but he hadn't expected the company to thrive so quickly.
How could FusionX Company surpass the Lavien Group?
Quinn leaned back in his chair, sighing lightly.
After some thought, he picked up his phone and made a call. "He's just graduated and needs a job. With his excellent qualifications, getting into FusionX Company shouldn't be difficult."
After giving instructions, a sharp look flashed in Quinn's eyes.
What Alex couldn't bear to do, he could.
FusionX Company, thanks to Harper's connections, had risen alongside HoloSphere Technologies, frequently mentioned in news reports, causing their stock to soar. The company's executives were very pleased with Harper.
With the expansion of the research department, Harper needed to hire new staff for Manuel's lab. The job postings were made public on the company's website, quickly attracting many applicants.
After all, working at FusionX Company would enhance one's reputation.
Soon, the applicants' resumes were on Harper's desk.
Harper skimmed through them and noticed a name, Neal Lopez.
Her eyes blinked, but her expression remained unchanged.
She opened the file, seeing a young man with an elegant appearance and a bright smile.
"Ms. Orsini, is there something wrong with this resume?" The assistant asked, seeing her staring at the resume for a long time.
Harper knew Neal's identity; he was Quinn's spy. Being chosen by someone as meticulous as Quinn meant Neal was special. She could easily discard the resume, but she didn't.
She thought, 'If I remove Neal today, another spy might come tomorrow. It is better to keep him and feed false information.'
Harper replied, "Nothing, this person is good, and he's my schoolmate."
Harper nodded lightly, setting the resume aside. She was curious to see how capable Neal was.
Just as she was about to review more resumes, the office door opened.
Caden entered in his wheelchair.
"What brings you here?" Seeing him, Harper immediately stood up.
Caden said, "Nothing, I just wanted to see you."
Harper smiled, "Alright, let me show you the new research department. See what new ventures I've created for you?"
Harper walked over, pushing his wheelchair as they left the office.
