CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 101

Chapter 101 Not Replying to Courtney

The person who arrived was none other than Francis.

He got out of the car and glanced at Johnson, saying, "Looks like you're free today."

Johnson smiled and replied, "I was just passing by and happened to see Ms. Rossum, so I thought I'd give her a ride."

"Is that so? I actually have something to discuss with you. Let's go together."

"Sure, get in the car." Johnson smiled.

Francis looked at Lilian and took the lead in getting into Johnson's car. Lilian followed him.

Johnson didn't mind playing chauffeur for the two of them. He calmly sat in the car, started the engine, and drove slowly into the night.

"You just mentioned that you had something to discuss with me. What's the matter?" Johnson asked.

Francis leaned back and said calmly, "In the CRISPR project, I noticed that in the proposal you submitted, there's TOPSUN. What are your thoughts on that?"

Johnson said, "Oh, that was a company I discussed and selected with them. TOPSUN is quite good in electronic technology, but it's just an alternative and not necessarily a collaboration."

"We previously collaborated with their subsidiary, and this time it's their engineering headquarters. We can trust their technology."

Francis didn't say anything, seemingly lost in thought.

Johnson continued, "If you don't want to collaborate with them, I can remove their company from the proposal tomorrow."

Francis replied, "No need, there are risks in collaborating with any company for this project. My suggestion is to invest directly. Many biotech companies are researching gene editing projects now. Developing our own would not only consume time and energy but also carry high risks due to immature technology."

"Your point is valid. I will discuss this project in detail during tomorrow's meeting."

Francis nodded and closed his eyes, no longer speaking.

In the company, Francis already had considerable influence. During his years as the CEO, he eliminated most of the old-timers, especially those loyal to Everett.

Others might not be aware, but Johnson was well aware of it.

Everett distributed those shares not to treat everyone equally, but to restrain Francis.
