Chapter 366
Wynn quickly signed the termination agreement.
As for the compensation, she promised to pay it within the specified time in the agreement.
After receiving the news, Matthias snorted, “She sure is quick to act.”
The subsequent matters were handled by the lawyers. After Wynn signed the termination agreement, neither Celeste nor Matthias paid much attention to it.
Three days later, Zachary had a break, and the three of them hadn’t seen each other for a while, so they made plans to meet for a meal.
At noon, Celeste and Matthias left the office. When they arrived at the restaurant, they ran into Wynn and Trevor at the entrance.
With them was also Donald Johansen, the CEO of another local AI company.
Donald and Matthias were familiar with each other and had a decent relationship. They would often sit down and chat when they met.
Now, seeing Matthias, Donald greeted him first, “Mr. Yoder.”
Matthias didn’t even glance at Trevor and Wynn, responding with a smile, “Mr. Johansen.”
Donald also knew that InnovaTech had approached him only after terminating the contract with YodaVision.
Seeing Matthias‘ cold demeanor toward Trevor and Wynn, Donald assumed that they had had an unpleasant fallout over the contract termination, which was why Matthias was so indifferent.
In the past, even when Matthias was cold, Trevor and Wynn would always make an effort to greet him. But this time, neither of them took the initiative to speak to Matthias.
Wynn’s gaze toward Matthias was noticeably colder than before.
As for Celeste, she still didn’t bother to look at her.
Not wanting to linger on the matter, Matthias and Celeste immediately walked into the restaurant after greeting Donald.
After taking the elevator up and entering the private room, Matthias finally said with a cold smile, “They just terminated the contract with us, and now they’re already working with DataWing. Trevor sure knows how to make big moves.”
Donald’s company, DataWing Inc., was also one of the leading AI companies in the country.
Working with DataWing, in terms of collaboration fees, would likely be far higher than when they worked with YodaVision.
Celeste sat down, poured a glass of water, and said, “Their language system was the best in the country last year;
one else even comes close. It’s not surprising that they would turn to Donald.
no
“Moreover, after terminating the contract with us, this is the best way for them to make up for the lost opportunity.
“They have no reason not to choose DataWing.”
Matthias understood this reasoning, of course. But the more he understood, the more upset he felt.
He became increasingly frustrated and said, “So, I guess Trevor paid the termination fee for InnovaTech, right?”
Celeste didn’t answer.
At that moment, Zachary arrived.
When he entered the room, neither Celeste nor Matthias brought up the matter again. They didn’t want to sully Zachary’s ears with their messy issues.
Whenever they met with Zachary, they usually talked about new developments in the Al field. Given that they rarely met, this meal lasted quite a while.
It was nearly two hours before they finished their meal.
However, when they left the private room and headed toward the elevator, the door to the adjacent room opened as well.
Trevor, Wynn, and Donald appeared before Celeste and Matthias.
Before either of them could speak, Donald saw Zachary and greeted him first. “Mr. Newman.”
Donald was also from the AI field and had some level of recognition.
Zachary nodded when he heard his name.
Trevor also greeted Zachary, and Wynn followed suit, saying, “Mr. Newman.”
Zachary’s expression was cold, and he didn’t speak.
At that moment, a group of people from the other side of the hallway turned the corner and saw them. They froze for a moment, especially when they noticed Zachary was also present.
Celeste quickly withdrew her gaze when she saw it was Jorge.
Jorge regained his composure and, after glancing at Wynn, he was the first to greet Zachary, “Mr. Newman.”
Zachary lightly nodded, still not saying anything.
Jorge then glanced at Wynn, Trevor, and Celeste before speaking, “Are you all here together?”
He had already heard about the termination between YodaVision and InnovaTech. He also heard that Wynn felt that Matthias lacked sincerity in continuing to cooperate with them.
So, even if YodaVision hadn’t terminated the contract, given Matthias‘ attitude, it was likely that they would cause trouble in the future.
So, she agreed to YodaVision’s request for termination for long–term consideration.
However, it seemed a bit strange that they had just terminated their contract with InnovaTech and were now having a meal together.
Wynn knew what he was thinking and quickly responded to his question, “No, we just ran into each other.”
Jorge smiled slightly, “I see.”
He knew it.
Celeste and Matthias weren’t interested in continuing the small talk with Jorge, Trevor, or Wynn.
Celeste was about to speak, but Matthias beat her to it, say
Zachary nodded and was about to turn to leave when Jorge) him, Trevor, and Wynn.
His face turned cold before he suddenly stepped forward at We met not long ago. I’m not sure if you remember me?”
“I do.” Zachary glanced at him. “So?”
Celeste was about to speak, but Matthias beat her to it, saying to Zachary, “Prof, let’s go.”
Zachary nodded and was about to turn to leave when Jorge, noticing their cold attitude and their disregard for him, Trevor, and Wynn.
His face turned cold before he suddenly stepped forward and said, “Mr. Newman, my father is Theodore Robinson. We met not long ago. I’m not sure if you remember me?”
“I do.” Zachary glanced at him. “So?” 1
