Chapter 193: Chapter 191: Now This Is a Major Company

Randall Jennings nodded, then introduced the man to Cecilia Sterling and Timothy Rowe. "This is Reginald Jennings, the head of our company’s AI department."

After the introduction, he looked at Cecilia and asked, "So, regarding your project, will your senior here be the one presenting it?"

"Yes, Mr. Jennings." Cecilia smiled sheepishly. "To be honest, Mr. Jennings, I don’t know much about the technical side of things."

Randall Jennings laughed as well. "That’s alright. I’m completely clueless about it myself."

He then turned to Reginald Jennings and instructed, "Reginald, you and this young man find a separate table. You can eat and talk over there."

Reginald Jennings knew his brother preferred to eat in peace, so he nodded in understanding. He then stood up and gestured to Timothy Rowe. "Come with me."

Timothy Rowe was visibly nervous. He glanced at Cecilia, who gave him a reassuring look, which helped calm him down considerably.

After the two left for another table, the waiter began serving the food. Randall Jennings quickly beckoned to Cecilia. "Come, sit down. Have lunch with me."

Cecilia gladly took a seat, her face full of gratitude. "Thank you, Mr. Jennings, for giving us this opportunity."

"Don’t mention it. We all have to eat, after all. Whether this deal works out or not is another matter, but there’s no harm in meeting." As Randall Jennings spoke, he looked at Cecilia and remarked with a sigh, "Before my grandfather founded the Jennings Group, he also closed his first business deal over a lunch meeting."

"Still, thank you. I actually tried calling you twice before, but I couldn’t get through to you personally."

Cecilia didn’t need to elaborate. Randall Jennings could guess the details—the young woman had probably been brushed off by his assistant before she could get to the point.

He asked Cecilia half-jokingly, "So, is it a little too late, now that we’re finally meeting?"

Cecilia quickly shook her head and smiled. "Not at all, Mr. Jennings. The timing is perfect."

She then recounted the events that had transpired at the Goodman Group earlier that day, telling the story to Mr. Jennings.

After listening, Randall Jennings had a look of understanding. "So, you’re saying your project was originally supposed to go through testing and contract signing with the Goodman Group today?"

Cecilia nodded.

Randall Jennings smiled. "I’m surprised. For someone so young, you have quite a bit of integrity. You were willing to walk away from a giant like the Goodman Group."

"Mr. Jennings, did I do the wrong thing? Was I being too impulsive?" Cecilia asked. She hoped to learn from Randall Jennings’ experience in business and how to handle people.

But Randall Jennings just smiled faintly. He placed a piece of sweet and sour pork rib on Cecilia’s plate before saying, "There’s no absolute right or wrong in situations like this. No matter what you choose, you have to give something up. It’s all about what trade-offs you’re willing to make, not about being right or wrong."

If you chose the Goodman Group, you would have had to compromise some of your principles.

If you chose your principles, you had to give up the Goodman Group.

Randall Jennings’ simple words brought Cecilia a moment of clarity, untangling the knot of anxiety in her heart.

"How has your mother been recently?" Randall Jennings changed the subject, inquiring about her family.

Cecilia quickly replied, "She’s doing well, thank you for asking, Mr. Jennings. My mom started learning jazz dance recently."

"Jazz dance?"

Cecilia nodded. "Mr. Jennings, do you know how to dance?"
