Eric said, "Andy doesn't understand any of this either, but he still managed to build the company. There are people who understand how all of this works, and you just need to oversee the company's operations."As the Innova Group grew larger, Andy also felt overwhelmed. After all, he had come from being an employee, and for their company to succeed, experienced individuals were needed.Eric added, "Moreover, this matter is not urgent. Let's see how it runs first."Eric didn't dare to guarantee unconfirmed matters. They had set up several test lines, with three of them having their firewalls. The rest were products from international giants with years of profound experience.Andy also arrived and felt somewhat excited. The transition from Innova Tech to the Innova Group marked an important phase for the company. If their first product succeeded, the future path would undoubtedly be much smoother.He and Eric believed some challenges might be ahead, but they were confident in the In
After discussing work, Eric and Andy shifted the conversation to their personal lives.Eric asked, "How's it going between you and my sister?"Andy chuckled. "Very well! Setting aside everything else, I'm now the one sending the kids in the morning. That's a significant improvement!"Andy was clearly quite content, thinking things were going well with Elly. As she had moved on from her previous failed marriage, she seemed more likely to accept him now. Plus, with his own company, he was no longer inferior to Craig as he once was.Sylvia chimed in. "Andy, have you ever thought about the future? Elly is older than you. When the Innova Group reaches its peak, your value will also rise. By then, Elly will be a middle-aged woman with two kids while you'll be in your prime. Will you still be interested in her at that time?"Before Andy could respond, Sylvia interrupted, "These are the challenges you'll face in the future. Besides, has your family given their consent? After all, Elly has
Blindly moving forward was irresponsible. Eric firmly believed she might not have noticed him if he lacked martial arts talent and hadn't demonstrated exceptional qualities to Sylvia.Sylvia sighed. "But if Andy is serious about his relationship with Elly, I hope they find happiness together."There were things Sylvia couldn't change because love could cloud judgment. Andy was in such a state right now.Craig's regrets and interference might influence the two, but Eric and Sylvia couldn't control many things. If things worked out between Andy and Elly, all they could do was offer their blessings."Well, there's nothing we can do," Eric said.In the coming days, he'd be very busy and doubted he'd have time to visit his sister. Meanwhile, Sylvia postponed her commitments to understand the Innova Group's work.-The next day, at noon.Eric received a call from Irvin, asking him to come to the Sonnex manor early. The two families would discuss Brook and Misty's major life events to
The priest from the Celestial Sage Sanctum had a commanding presence, but he wasn't the one who had conducted Orion's funeral. They all knew they were highly esteemed individuals, so their identity didn't matter much. After a brief discussion, they quickly set the wedding date for six months later.However, Brook wasn't pleased with the date. He impatiently asked, "Can't we speed things up a bit?""Be patient!" Henry scolded Brook with a stern look, then turned to Father Preston from the Celestial Sage Sanctum with a cheerful smile. "Father Preston, if there are any recent renovation needs at the sanctum, please let us know."He knew they weren't particularly interested in money. In the past, when they hired people to choose a date for the Williams residence's construction, they funded the repair of the church.Father Preston waved his hand. "Money will do. It simplifies the process."Even though it was the same for Henry, providing money saved a lot of trouble. He offered them 30
Felicia had the task of managing the entire villa, and it was quite a day's work. Luckily, the villa was spacious, and Felicia also lived there, so it wasn't troublesome.Eric walked up to the table and picked up the business cards. He glanced at them before setting them aside. The cards belonged to CEOs of listed companies and members of prominent families in King City.He couldn't even tell if these people were here for a visit or genuinely seeking medical help. He didn't want their visits but could consider those who came for medical assistance if he had time.His focus was on the upcoming cybersecurity conference. This was the Innova Group's chance to make a mark. If the Innova Group could shine at this conference, the path ahead would be much smoother.While he was deep in thought, Felicia approached. "Mr. Johnson, a young lady is here to visit."Before Eric could respond, a voice echoed. "Eric, I knew you'd return to King City!"Jessica entered without asking for permission
"You're getting cocky now," Sylvia remarked. "Have you forgotten what Hol. Thornfield said? You must remain humble."She worried about Eric becoming arrogant one day.He chuckled. "I'm just joking, you know? What's the big deal about having a prestigious family? There are plenty of prestigious families in this country."Eric was right. King City had many individuals from illustrious backgrounds. Still, even if one claimed to have a background, others often had stronger connections. Staying humble and keeping a low profile were the keys to success.-Meanwhile, when Jessica left Orion's residence, she ran into Rafael. He knew that Eric had returned to King City, so the Hernandezes had sent him over.He grinned at Jessica and said, "Ms. Watson, I didn't expect to see you seeking medical advice from Hol. Thornfield… Oh, my apologies! I should call him Hol. Johnson now!"Given Eric's medical skills, he deserved to be known as a holistic physician. He could perform Blossom Needling a
Rafael grew impatient."What's the rush?" Javier quipped, "Patience is a virtue. We should aim for one-shot success!""Yes, Dad!"Rafael admired his father's deep thinking. Everyone would be amazed when that person struck! They didn't notice that Julius was eavesdropping and had sent a message to Grace. After sending it, he wiped the record.-At Montgomery Corp.Grace immediately called Sylvia to confirm that she and Eric had returned to King City and were at Orion's place. She summoned the driver and rushed over. "Mom, what's going on?" Sylvia asked when she saw Grace's rush."I just got a message," Grace said. "It mentioned that person Rafael talked about..."Eric frowned. "Rafael just left here. The person he mentioned is probably connected to us."Grace thought the same, along with the message, which was why she had hurried over."It appears you guys don't know who that person is yet, but the Hernandezes are definitely up to something. We can't let them succeed," she
A few days later, the group went to the exhibition center. Grace didn't accompany them, but she sent several of the Montgomery family's security personnel to help the Innova Group.Some big international companies organized this cybersecurity conference. The goal was clear: research network security, find talented people, and, most importantly, show the significant influence of these major manufacturers in the field.The Innova Group's equipment was set up, and Andy had his team move it onto the site even before dawn.Usually, these conferences were for a few big international players, but this year, there was an unfamiliar name: the Innova Group.The organizers had every reason to accept their participation. Companies like the Innova Group, eager to break into the industry, were not uncommon for the organizers. Still, in the end, none of them succeeded. They hadn't even heard of the Innova Group, a small company.In the exhibition area, international manufacturers displayed vario
