His brows were knitted tightly as he drummed the table with his fingers and only looked at me after a long time. “We’ve considered this possibility previously, but if we want to get involved in the AI field, we need their help. Never hire the person you doubt and never doubt the person you hire.”
Nodding, I took a glance at him. “If I can find a batch of elite local technicians and guarantee to make a breakthrough in the AI field, would you dare to give it a try?”
He froze for a moment before letting out a smile. “How can you be so sure?”
“I’m not, but I want to give it a shot!” If this project is successful, I’d probably have a way to go up against the Moore family.
After all, most of the Moore family’s success in the business world was attributed to technology.
Marcus kept silent for a moment before he nodded. “Go ahead.”
Almost all of the higher-ups of White Corporation were in the meeting room, including Sally. When she saw me, she furrowed her brows slightly, but her expression was back to normal almost immediately.
Marcus told me to take a seat, then got up to turn on the projector. “Let me introduce the person who just came in with me. This is Scarlett Stovall. I have appointed her as White Corporation’s project director, and she will be in charge of the company’s AI project from now on.”
A commotion broke out in the meeting room in an instant. Someone questioned, “Mr. White, even though the project director’s position is currently empty, White Corporation isn’t like other small companies. Not anyone can take on this role. Besides, we’re all here today to discuss if we should continue with the research on AI. We haven’t even finished our discussion and yet you have already made a decision. Don’t you think you’re being a little hasty, Mr. White?”
Marcus nodded his head slowly and raised his brows. “Am I?” He smirked, showing his unruly side. “It seems like all of you are used to being overambitious. That’s why you think the people you recommended are more competent, isn’t it? This isn’t a problem for me. If you feel that you have someone who is much more capable than Scarlett to take on this responsibility, you can make your recommendations anytime. My only goal is for AI to be introduced to our country’s market within a year.”
Someone replied, “Does that mean we won’t be discussing whether we’re continuing with the AI project?”
