Chapter 194: Chapter 192: Project Test

Reginald Jennings was also quick to act, immediately stepping to one side to make a call.

Randall Jennings picked up his napkin and wiped his mouth, then looked at Cecilia Sterling and said gently, "I noticed you barely ate just now. There’s no rush. Eat your fill here before you go. Nothing is more important than having a proper meal."

Cecilia Sterling nodded with a slightly sheepish smile. Just then, Randall Jennings slowly rose to his feet. She moved to stand as well, but Randall Jennings raised a hand, gesturing for her to remain seated. "You keep eating. I need to get some rest. I have a lot to take care of this afternoon. You can coordinate with Vice President Jennings on the next steps."

This was his habit. No matter how busy his day was, he would always take an hour-long nap at noon to recharge.

"Goodbye, Mr. Jennings."

"Goodbye, Director Jennings."

Cecilia Sterling stood up anyway, and she and Timothy Rowe politely said goodbye to Randall Jennings.

After Randall Jennings left, and before Reginald Jennings had returned from his call, Timothy Rowe finally let his excitement show. His eyes sparkled as he looked at Cecilia Sterling. "Cecilia, we’re going to partner with the Jennings Group!"

Cecilia Sterling was both happy and surprised. She was happy that things had progressed so smoothly, but surprised that it had been *too* smooth.

’Mr. Jennings is completely different from what I imagined. He didn’t show a single trace of resistance to my team or the project from beginning to end. The debt of gratitude to my mother must be a factor, but I’m still sincerely grateful for this.’

Timothy Rowe couldn’t wait to share the good news in the group chat. The moment everyone saw it, the chat instantly blew up.

Seeing everyone’s joyful messages in the chat, Cecilia Sterling felt a surge of happiness, but also a sense of relief. To be honest, taking a hard stance with the Goodman Group today had put a lot of pressure on her.

She had been worried it wouldn’t be easy to find another company willing to trust them and give them a chance.

But now with the Jennings Group, everything was back on track.

"Timothy, you barely ate anything either, did you? Go on, have something to eat."

Timothy Rowe nodded. He had been too reserved and nervous while talking with Mr. Jennings earlier, so he hadn’t had much of an appetite. Now, however, he was indeed starting to feel a bit hungry.

"Cecilia, thank you for all your hard work." Timothy Rowe said sincerely after sitting down. "What you said at our team meeting really motivated us, but I never imagined you’d deliver on all your promises, let alone so quickly."

"Whether it was the Goodman Group or the Jennings Group... honestly, without you, I don’t think we would have ever had a chance to even get a meeting with corporations of this scale. An opportunity like this for the project is a massive leap forward. It’s all thanks to you."

"We’re a team. There’s no need to say all that. Everyone has worked really hard. As long as we can secure this partnership, we all stand to benefit."

Timothy Rowe nodded, visibly moved. "Still, I just want to say thank you."

Cecilia Sterling shook her head with a resigned sigh. "Please stop. You’ve said it so many times. Message received."

Just then, Reginald Jennings returned. He casually pulled out a chair and sat down. Meeting the hopeful gazes of Cecilia Sterling and Timothy Rowe, he announced quietly, "I’ve made the arrangements. We can proceed with the test this afternoon."

Cecilia Sterling and Timothy Rowe exchanged a joyful glance. It was finally happening.

Reginald Jennings then elaborated, "The Jennings Group’s AI division is still in its early stages, so our current products are relatively unpolished. The categories we’ve dabbled in are mostly mass-market items, like smart speakers, robot vacuums, and voice-reading pens. To be honest, compared to similar products from major corporations, ours don’t really have a competitive edge."
