Dante departed, hoping Hector would grasp his visit was to inform rather than engage in a discussion.Hector's expression darkened. He had been convinced that the construction of the three major data centers was nearly certain. Unexpectedly, a sudden turn of events introduced a new player, openly declaring that the Innova Group would undertake the project. What had happened?He recalled that Eric—the CIO and co-founder of the Innova Group—was wanted. So, why was Dante supporting the Innova Group? In his view, Dante was already lenient by not suppressing the Innova Group.Hector snorted. "On what grounds are you trying to make us withdraw?"Moreover, could the Combat Department even intervene in this matter?Hector felt Dante was overstepping, so he didn't take Dante's words seriously. Just because Dante said it didn't mean the Visionary Group would comply.-Meanwhile, as soon as Dante left the Visionary Group, he immediately contacted Sylvia. He informed her that he had notifie
At Phoenix City.Sean conveyed Sylvia's messages to Eric and Ruth.Sylvia's information was extensive, with the most crucial being that she and Lionel had obtained irrefutable evidence against Dante's false accusation. The second important piece of information was that Sylvia was preparing to take over the three major data centers, a project worth hundreds of millions through Dante.Ruth was astonished and couldn't help but exclaim, "She's truly impressive! When I first saw her, I thought she was just a pretty vase and her achievements were mainly backed by you."Ruth and Eric had been hiding in Phoenix City for some time. She was well aware that apart from Pierce, there was probably no one in the country who could help clear their names. Unexpectedly, Sylvia had already secretly taken action. Not only did she collect irrefutable evidence, but she also used Dante to develop the Innova Group!"A vase?" Eric chuckled. "She's definitely not a vase. Before we got married, she was al
"Yes!" Grace nodded. "Eric and the McClain girl are doing well over there. He was very happy when he heard your message..."She stared at Sylvia. "Are you really willing to sacrifice everything for Eric to clear his name?"Sylvia didn't know why Grace suddenly asked this question, but she still nodded firmly. "Mom, no matter the cost, I will help Eric clear his name!"Grace sighed. She knew Sylvia would answer that way. She was content with Sylvia as her daughter-in-law!After contemplating, Grace said, "This time, Eric also sent back other information. I didn't plan to let you do this initially. I couldn't bear to stop you."Eric said Dante used a video to slander Pierce, Ruth, and Eric. The video contains the voices of Eric and Pierce."Sylvia immediately understood. "Mom, Eric wants me to do a voice comparison for them?"Grace nodded. "That's exactly what Eric means. Ruth also gave me a contact number, asking me to pass it on to you. She said that person can obtain that video
Sylvia anxiously waited for the appointed meeting time.The Combat Department personnel did not disappoint her—they managed to retrieve the video where Dante slandered Eric, Pierce, and Ruth.As Sylvia received the encrypted USB drive, her hands trembled. She was determined to clear Eric's name, and this USB drive was crucial."Thank you very much!" Sylvia expressed deep gratitude. Once the voice comparison results were out, Eric would likely be able to return."Ms. Williams, no need for thanks. Please be careful. Dante's plan may not end here. I will contact you if there's any news," he cautioned.He also knew that Sylvia was crucial in clearing the names of Pierce and the others. It depended on whether they could find any issues in the video.-Sylvia handed the USB drive to Vince, gave some instructions, and asked him to proceed with the voice comparison. She had recordings of Eric, though not of Pierce, but as long as it proved that the person in the video wasn't Eric, Pierc
The revelation of which company would secure the project for the three major data centers would unfold in the coming days.The prevailing expectation was that the Visionary Group would clinch the project. Despite the unexpected rise of the Innova Group in the past two years, snatching market share from the three major international manufacturers and the Visionary Group, they were still perceived as inexperienced.The doubt stemmed from their potential lack of expertise in constructing large-scale data centers.Yet, optimism surrounded the Innova Group.Firstly, it possessed its core technology. Secondly, it had achieved success overseas. Crucially, the Innova Group was a domestic company, so choosing it for the project was deemed more reliable due to its association with data security.Concerning the Visionary Group, despite claiming to be a domestic company, it was widely known to be merely an assembly factory supported by the three giants.-The three giants and Visionary Grou
When it was the Visionary Group's turn to present, Hector exuded confidence, having long forgotten Dante's words.In his view, why should the Innova Group handle this matter when the Visionary Group clearly possessed more strength? Hector and his technical director presented their specific implementation plans together.Needless to say, the Visionary Group's core equipment came from three major international manufacturers. The Visionary Group's task was to assemble the parts they provided and then affix the Visionary Group label to them. In some core components, one could still see the logos of the three giants.The Visionary Group's presentation lasted a full two hours. During this time, Sylvia also exchanged brief words with her technical team, comparing the technical solutions of the two companies, and so on.After the Visionary Group finished, Hector provocatively glanced at Sylvia and her team. He seemed quite satisfied with their proposal, although he didn't grasp the technic
Hector froze at Alex's outburst."You can go back! Don't even think of using these tricks. Money, gifts, and dinners are all useless!" Alex said sternly.Hector quickly left. However, once out of the department, he felt something was amiss. Dinners and gifts were just normal routines. So why did Alex clearly state it? There was more to his words!He immediately understood Alex's intention.-In the evening, he parked his car at the department's entrance. Sure enough, Alex walked toward his car.Hector smiled and said, "Mr. Carter, please get in the car?"Alex had a stern face. "Mr. Feynman, I'm getting in the car because I think you are a worthy friend. Remember, this is a private matter unrelated to any official business!"Hector grinned broadly. "I understand, Mr. Carter." In fact, he didn't want to do this. Flattering people like Alex made him uncomfortable. However, the Visionary Group's technicians had mentioned some advantages of the Innova Group's solution.Combined w
In Hector's view, a woman like Sylvia was not to be trifled with, let alone provoked. Could the Innova Group achieve its current status under the suppression of the three major international manufacturers and Visionary Group without some capability? Especially when he knew that the Innova Group took over the department jointly established by the Larson family and Visionary Group!Perhaps Sylvia earned her prominent position in the Innova Group due to her outstanding business abilities. He knew that the Montgomery family wasn't the sole force behind the Innova Group—there must be a more formidable force backing them!Alex's idea of confronting them was tantamount to seeking death. Without Alex, wouldn't his money be given away for nothing?Thinking of that, Hector reminded, "Mr. Carter, the Innova Group is quite capable. We have tried several times but failed to bring down the Innova Group."He implied that the Innova Group was not to be trifled with, and a mere director should not
