Manager Schwarts was well-prepared, and he had clearly documented the current network status of Williams Corp. About half an hour later, Eric set down the documents he had been reviewing."The equipment is indeed quite outdated, lagging behind the latest technology by one or two generations. Has the company never replaced this equipment before?" Eric inquired.He had expected a large conglomerate like Williams Corp. to prioritize network security and other aspects, but the information he reviewed did not reflect that.Manager Schwarts smiled sheepishly and explained, "The company doesn't pay much attention to these aspects. Whenever a device breaks, we simply replace it. Nobody really bothers as long as the network keeps running."Upon hearing Manager Schwarts' words, Eric understood the situation. The lack of attention to these issues by Williams Corp. had led to the current state of its network."There should be a central data station, right? The corporation should still have a

At Westman Technology.David received a notice from Sonnex Corp. stating that the bidding process would be a joint effort, with Westman Technology playing a supporting role. This didn't come as a surprise to David, as he was familiar with such unspoken rules. While he didn't expect to win the bid with Sonnex Corp., he had confidence in securing the project with Williams Corp.Just as David was lost in his thoughts, his phone suddenly rang, bringing a smile to his face."Come downstairs and join me in welcoming Brook Williams!" the caller exclaimed.David and Jasmine made their way downstairs, only to find that Brook had already arrived."You have something to discuss with me, asshole?" Brook asked, using his usual nickname for David.Jasmine struggled to contain her laughter upon hearing the nickname, knowing she'd face the consequences if she laughed.Maintaining a respectful expression, David replied, "Brook, I managed to get a bottle of fine wine yesterday. How about we go to

"I will return to our hometown to recuperate!" Blake said firmly.If he stayed here in Salt City to recuperate, it would only cause trouble for Eric and Elly. Moreover, the higher cost of living in Salt City was another factor to consider.Besides, Elly had very little say when it came to matters involving Craig. If Blake stayed there for some time, it would inevitably lead to conflicts between the couple.As for Eric, his company had just started, and he would undoubtedly be very busy.Hence, in Blake's opinion, returning to their hometown for rest and recuperation was undeniably the best choice.Expressing his thoughts proved challenging for Eric. He pursed his lips and said, "Dad, I have rented a house here in Salt City, and there are still two months left on the lease. You could stay there."Considering Sylvia's blunt statement to Eric on his first night there, that Eric's parents couldn't move into the Rosewood Estate, there was no need to even consider it.Eric would fulfi

Andy found himself pleasantly surprised to discover the impressive reputation his company had garnered in the industry. How was he not aware of it before?The mention of Innova Tech by the CEO of Sonnex Corp. alone was a valuable form of recognition. Regardless of the outcome of this bid, Innova Tech's name would undoubtedly become well-known.The representative from Westman Technology was also present and gnashed his teeth in frustration while witnessing the attention focused on Andy. He wondered, 'Why did Mr. Sonnex mention Innova Tech and not Westman Technology? What's going on?'Irvin took a moment to look at Andy, feeling a tinge of regret, before speaking. "There are many companies present here today, so let's begin as soon as possible." He gave a light nod at Keith, and the bidding conference of Sonnex Corp. officially commenced! -Meanwhile, at Williams Corp."Wow, what brings Innova Tech here? Did you come all this way just to witness Westman Technology secure the bid

Sylvester addressed the room, his voice commanding attention. "Just two days after we sent out the invitations, Mr. Johnson from Innova Tech arrived at Williams Corp. for an on-site inspection, where he meticulously identified numerous issues."In response to the existing problems at Williams Corp., Innova Tech provided targeted explanations and made pertinent modifications to their proposal."Compared to the proposals submitted by other companies, Innova Tech's offering was the most specific, detailed, and tailored to the needs of Williams Corp. If anyone here still suspects any foul play in this bid..." Sylvester picked up Eric's proposal and handed it to those around him, declaring, "Pass Innova Tech's proposal around for everyone to see. Once you've read it, I believe any doubts will be dispelled."The proposal was circulated among the attendees. When it reached David, he didn't even look at it. In Eric and Andy's company, it was evident that the proposal must have originated fr
