Reborn Rich: Prices Dropped, My Savings Didn't novel Chapter 177

Chapter 177: Chapter 175: After the Bitter Comes the Sweet

"But I think saying this out loud today will boost everyone’s morale. I’ll also do my best to try and get in touch with the Goodman Group."

Hearing Cecilia’s words, the team was instantly energized, their eyes shining.

Gavin Garrett said, "The Goodman Group is the country’s leader in artificial intelligence. If they’re willing to work with us, then... then it’ll be much easier to get other companies on board!"

"We can do this. I feel like I’m ready to go again!" Maverick said, nodding.

The others grew eager as well. Cecilia’s declaration was like a shot in the arm for the team, getting them all fired up.

"Alright, let’s pair up and start making contact with various corporations. I’ll get to work on my end, too."

"Alright, no problem!"

"We still have the files from when Timothy was trying to raise funds. They’ve got the addresses and phone numbers of all the big AI companies in Lorcain. We can each take a copy and retrace the steps Timothy took for the team."

Timothy cracked a wry smile at that. He still vividly remembered the awful feeling of having doors slammed in his face time and time again.

Thankfully, those bitter days were finally behind them.

Just then, Cecilia suddenly said, "I have just one condition."

All eyes turned to her. "We are not working with the Lane Group," she stated firmly.

They had all heard rumors about Cecilia and Shawn Lane. Besides, Timothy Rowe and Gavin Garrett had once been gratuitously insulted by Walter Lane and his wife.

The entire team had a low opinion of the Lane Group.

Of course, they would respect Cecilia’s wishes.

"Right, no working with the Lane Group!"

"No problem, Cecilia. We’ll do as you say."

"I heard they insulted Timothy and Gavin for no reason. We won’t go soft on them even if they come begging to us later."

Finally, Timothy took out a small hard drive and handed it to Cecilia. "Cecilia, this is the ’key’ for the project’s program. The key is 154 digits long and split into two parts. We have one 77-digit part, and I’m giving you the other 77-digit part. The program can only be activated by importing both keys."

This was a safeguard, meant to give Cecilia peace of mind. It ensured that every successful partnership would require her personal involvement, so she wouldn’t have to worry about the team making deals behind her back.

Furthermore, the 154-digit Super Key provided a high level of security for the project, making it extremely difficult for even a hacker to crack.

Cecilia accepted it with a smile. "That’s very thoughtful of you, Rowe."

Cecilia hadn’t been back all night. The moment she walked into her dorm room, Estelle had her in a playful chokehold. "Spill. Were you out all night getting it on with Saul Thorne?"

Hearing this, Blair, who was standing nearby, frowned. "Getting it on? That sounds so gross!"

Cecilia rolled her eyes. "Hello? Didn’t I tell you I was with Rowe? The project’s a success!"

"Huh?"

Estelle let go, asking with a look of astonishment, "A success? You mean that AI project you invested in?"

Blair also perked up. "What investment? What did you invest in?"

Cecilia nodded. "It’s a success. We ran a successful test yesterday."
