"Granny, I've come back to China this time to have a business talk with the Aldridge family."
Flavia opened her backpack and took out a document.
She placed a document on the table and said softly, "In these four years abroad, I've been studying at a prestigious university. I majored in computer programming and have developed an intelligent chip. This chip is not on the market yet and I’m looking for partners. I hope to cooperate with the Aldridge family."
"Humph. Flavia, you're really full of yourself. Just because you say so, we should cooperate with you?" Nicole said with contempt, "The Aldridge Corporation is a top ten conglomerate in Sandy Shores, many companies want to work with us, we're not interested in you at all! What makes you think you can negotiate terms with us?"
Julia was about to speak, but a man interrupted her. He was Flavia's uncle, Blake.
Blake stepped forward, "Mom, Flavia is my niece and I love her, but we can't favor her because of our family relation. The Aldridge Corporation is experiencing a hard time in the internet intelligent products market, we can't break the rules because of Flavia."
"The Aldridge Corporation has spent a fortune on an intelligent chip from overseas and is about to put it into production, why should we change our partner just because of what you said?"
"I guess Flavia is just trying to take advantage of this opportunity to get money from her grandmother, can't you see that?"
"Why would a dead person return?"
"Granny loves her so much, her name must be in the will...."
"Her last name is different from ours, she's an outsider. Why should her name appear in the will? That year, so many scandals happened involving her life...."
Members of the Aldridge family voiced their opinions, and the family members who usually competed with each other surprisingly agreed on this matter.
Julia was so angry that her breathing became rapid. Her long-awaited granddaughter finally came back, but was treated terribly by her own family.
However, before Julia could say a word, a soft voice spoke.
Louis had always been a quiet child.
But how could he stand by silently when his mother was getting verbally attacked by others? He stepped forward and looked up at Blake, "Blake, is the intelligent chip of the Aldridge Corporation the MCP12 produced by Ander International Technology Co?"
