My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1165

A man with glasses smiled and took to the stage.

"Today, I'm here with a presentation regarding manned flying cars. Our company has designed a chip that would bring us a step further toward achieving the dream of manned flying cars by way of incorporating the chips into the systems of modern cars, along with state-of-the-art mechanical designs."

As the man made his impassioned announcement, Nicole heard the keyword. "A chip?"

Her eyes sparkled.

She had just started developing manned flying cars, and after all the research that had been conducted, it was concluded that the chip was the magic bullet. She was already in the midst of programming the codes of the chip, but as she had never studied about it, she still needed a lot of information. Little did she know that someone in the exhibition had already produced a chip, and as Nicole was an expert in mechanical design, obtaining a chip would bring her much closer to her end goal.

Nicole's eyes lit up when she thought about this.

Ike saw the look in her eyes and grinned. "So? Time well spent, huh?"

Nicole looked at him and nodded happily before turning her gaze back to the stage.

Suddenly, Ike sighed. "Initially, I was in the process of developing a chip too. But I did not expect that this company would beat me to it. Unfortunately, we're rivals too."

Nicole did not expect that the company in question was a rival to Ike's, so she said, "Wouldn't it be nice to partner up? Why would you want to be rivals when you can both work together towards a common goal?"

Ike scoffed. "You should ask them yourself. I've sent a few people over to discuss about a potential partnership, but they would always refuse to work with anyone else. I think they're just afraid that others would steal their designs. The only thing they need is an expert to help them with their mechanical designs. They don't wish to be accessories to other companies."

Nicole immediately connected the dots; this company wanted to dominate the field as they had technological superiority. Nicole found that it was understandable, as she had encountered people of the sort as well. Knowing this, it would be very difficult to forge a partnership with them.

While she deep in thought, the man on the stage had taken his presentation a step further by introducing their chip. Noticing that, Nicole paid even more attention to what he was saying, with Ike stepping aside so as not to distract her.

Nicole was gifted. Even if the company did not want to partner up with her, she would probably still get some sort of inspiration from them, one way or another.
