Chapter101
Harriet truly admired Kelsey’s subtlety and social skills.
She was clearly showing off, making it clear that even if Harriet
didn’t help her make the connection, Ellsworth would personally
bring her over and handle things for her.
She was obviously flaunting her close relationship with
Ellsworth, yet managed to make it sound pleasant, as if she
was being considerate of Harriet.
Seeing that Harriet showed no reaction to these words, as if
she and Ellsworth’s presence was like punching into soft
cotton, Kelsey smiled again and said, “That’s not true. Once
you’ve been at Galaxy Innovations for a while, Hara, you’ll be a
star here.”
“I can tell Reginald thinks very highly of you.”
Harriet smiled again, “I’ll take that as a blessing from you, Kelsey.”
As the two chatted, Grayson knocked on Harriet’s office door
and said to Kelsey, “Ms. Graham, Mr. Barton is back.”
Chapter101
“Alright.” At Grayson’s reminder, Kelsey stood up and said softly
to Harriet, “Hara, I’ll head upstairs now.”
“Okay.” Watching the two of them leave, Harriet stared
expressionlessly at the door for a while before withdrawing her
gaze and returning to her work.
Reginald and Ellsworth’s meeting lasted until after noon. While
the employees downstairs were having lunch, the meeting
upstairs was still ongoing.
Reginald was quite surprised by Ellsworth’s knowledge of
Robotics and Automation Engineering, as well as information
technology, so they got along well.
Reginald wasn’t one for formalities or social niceties. Even
when their conversation ran into lunchtime, he didn’t have the
admin department book a restaurant, but simply had boxed
lunches brought in, inviting Ellsworth and Kelsey to eat with
him.
Ellsworth and Noel didn’t mind at all; they could eat anything, fancy or plain.
Kelsey took a couple of bites, then closed the box and tossed it
into the nearby trash can.
Chapter101
She couldn’t eat it, not even a little.
A little after one, when Reginald and Ellsworth had almost
finished talking, Grayson came to find Harriet again and said,
“Harriet, Mr. Barton and the others are heading to the lab now.
Mr. Barton asked you to join them.”
“Alright, got it,” Harriet replied. “I’ll tidy up and head out.”
A few minutes later, after Harriet had gotten ready, she met up
with Reginald and the others in the main office. Kelsey was still
all smiles, greeting her, “Hara.”
Harriet smiled in response.
At that moment, Noel greeted her respectfully, “Ms. Chavez.”
Harriet smiled and replied, “Noel.”
In the middle of the group, when Ellsworth saw Harriet come
out, he asked her, “Have you eaten?”
Harriet replied gently, “Yes, I have.”
After a brief exchange of greetings, everyone headed.
downstairs together.
Kelsey had come in Ellsworth’s car, so when they went to the
Chapter101
lab, they rode together again.
Harriet, on the other hand, rode with Reginald and Grayson.
Over two hours later, as the car drove onto the black asphalt
road by the sea, there were hardly any other vehicles in sight,
not a single person around.
Though it was called a tech park, that was a bit of an
understatement.
Because the area was so vast, with so few companies, and
surrounded by the sea, the scenery was especially beautiful.
Aside from two research institutes, Galaxy Innovations was the
only company in the area, with at least twenty or thirty
kilometers between each of the three organizations.
Galaxy Innovations was located right in the center.
After enjoying the scenery along the way, when they arrived at
the lab, each vehicle was inspected before being allowed into
the park.
When the cars stopped in front of the office building, everyone
got out one after another.
Chapter101
Looking around at the scenery and the vast, quiet surroundings,
Kelsey smiled and said, “Mr. Barton, this is really a great place.
Why don’t you work here?”
Reginald replied, “It’s too far from the city center, the commute
is too long, so we set up an office downtown. But most of the
R&D staff spend their time here in the lab.”
After hearing this, Kelsey took a closer look at the park. The buildings weren’t very tall, mostly three or four stories, but the
area they covered was huge, giving an impression of grandeur
and majesty.
This was Galaxy Innovations, after all.
No other company had such strength; after all, Galaxy
Innovations was a key high-tech company supported by the
state.
And in recent years, they had achieved great success in guidance system positioning technology, propelling domestic guidance and remote operation forward by leaps and bounds.
Of course, these achievements were rarely publicized.
Reginald himself was also very low-key.
Chapter101
After a simple equipment scan, as the group entered the
administrative building, Reginald introduced to Ellsworth, “This
is just the experimental area of Galaxy Innovations. The real
core technology is at the 949** unit. If we have the chance to
work together in the future, I can take Mr. Townsend and
everyone to see a live combat exercise.”
