Chapter 413
Celeste didn’t say anything and walked past Trevor and Jacob into the meeting room.
Many people in the room had seen her talking with Trevor at the door.
However, since most of them didn’t know the nature of her relationship with him, they simply assumed it was a casual greeting and didn’t think much of it.
But Matthias was in the know.
When he saw her return, he quietly asked, “Did”
Celeste shook her head. “No.”
Juhanave a fight with him?”
Even at the peak of tension and conflict between her and Trevor, they had never fought–let alone now.
Fleming Group and YodaVision had just officially begun their collaboration, so Celeste ended up spending nearly the entire day at Fleming Group.
That afternoon, just after 5:00 pm, a sudden cheer erupted from the meeting room.
“Holy crap, it actually worked!”
“Huh? What happened?”
“Ms. Rodriguez said the model we were working on before wasn’t good enough. We discussed it last week, and over the past few days, we implemented her suggestions, from the algorithm to the data, all the way to the model structure.
“Now, the efficiency of our model has improved dramatically! The bottleneck that’s plagued us for almost two years has actually been resolved just like that!” 2
Another person added, “The alignment issue that’s been troublingus for ages also made real progress. I’ve got to say, Ms. Rodriguez is absolutely incredible!”
It was worth noting that Fleming Group was one of the top tech firms in the country. Everyone here was among the best in the industry–talent that Fleming Group had paid handsomely to recruit.

In other words, whether by public acclaim or self–confidence, none of them lacked skills.
Yet now, they truly understood that no matter how good one was, there would always be someone who was one step ahead.
Fleming Group’s tech team looked at Celeste with sparkling eyes.
One of them excitedly came over and shook her hand, saying, “No wonder you’re the first author of that paper—Ms. Rodriguez, you’re amazing!” 1
Celeste smiled and was just about to speak when she suddenly noticed someone standing behind them–Wynn. 1
Her smile faltered slightly.
Just then, the few excited engineers from Fleming Group also noticed her. “Ms. Locket? When did you get here?”
Before Wynn could speak, Bryson chuckled and said, “Ms. Locket’s been here for a while. You were all so engrossed, you didn’t even notice someone standing behind you.”
Wynn smiled but didn’t reply.
If one looked closely, they’d see that her smile seemed a little strained.
As Bryson said, she had indeed arrived a while ago.
She had also witnessed part of the process where Fleming Group’s elite engineers had eagerly sought Celeste’s input.
Wynn could follow some of their technical discussions.
But it was obvious that Celeste was operating at a level above them all.
She could identify the core of a problem at a glance and offer a solution on the spot. It was so quick that even the engineers struggled to keep up with her train of thought.
Let alone someone like Wynn…
The engineers, still excited by the breakthrough, were about to continue discussing what exactly made the breakthrough so brilliant, when suddenly Trevor’s voice cut in, “What’s with all the excitement?”
The engineers didn’t feel the need to hold back just because he was the CEO of Fleming Group.
One of them was just about to respond when Wynn interrupted them. “You’re done with work?”
Trevor gave a quiet hum and was about to pick up the earlier conversation when he happened to glance over at her and noticed her expression.
So, he asked with concern, “Why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?”
