Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 730

Thanks to the immense processing power of the Li Algorithm, Lillian only had to wait a few moments before the results popped up.

The second she saw the data, Lillian practically leaped out of her chair in sheer excitement.

"It works!"

Celia's eyes lit up, and she leaned forward eagerly. "Ms. Mercer, are you serious?"

Lillian nodded vigorously. "Yes! The data processed perfectly. Celia, we are cleared for the payload test flight tomorrow."

Thrilled, Celia immediately jumped up. "That is amazing! Ms. Mercer, I'll leave you to it. I'm going to go prep everything right now."

The pure joy radiating from Celia was obvious. Seeing their grueling work finally bear fruit made her happier than anyone.

The heavy weight of anxiety that had been pressing down on Lillian's chest finally lifted.

The product launch they had been organizing in tandem was almost entirely set up. Once tomorrow's test flight was successful, they could seamlessly move on to the next phase.

This time, she was truly stepping out from behind the curtain and onto the main stage.

For years, the legendary 'Li' had been idolized in the tech world. But she had always been a phantom, a brilliant mind shrouded in total anonymity. She had a massive following of devoted fans, and countless people were incredibly curious about the person behind the screen.

Previously, she had preferred to keep a low profile, content to quietly focus on her code.

But this time, for the sake of her own company, Lillian had decided to step into the light. She was going to reveal herself under her world-renowned alias.

To be completely honest, Lillian didn't feel ready.

Even though the decision had been made a while ago, now that the critical moment was actually looming, a wave of apprehension washed over her.

She had never presented herself to the public as 'Li' before. What would happen when she finally did?

Were all those loyal fans from her past still out there?

"Wait a minute, Boss, are you nervous? Is that even possible? This kind of stuff should be a walk in the park for you. You're an industry legend. When you step up to the plate, there's nothing you can't handle. How on earth are you nervous?"

"The press conference is fully prepped, and when the time comes, they're going to introduce me as 'Li'," Lillian admitted.

"We're a brand-new startup. That identity is the only thing with enough weight to anchor us in the market.

"I can't let all the blood, sweat, and tears this team has poured into this project for so long be subjected to endless skepticism or harsh market scrutiny.

"So yes, I'm basically putting my entire reputation on the line here. Of course I care.

"What, you've never seen a person get stage fright before?"

Victor chuckled. "There's no need to stress. You're betting your reputation because you have absolute faith in yourself, right? Since you're confident in the tech, why be nervous?

"Test flight tomorrow, and the day after that, we'll see you shine at the press conference."
