Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1245

The young man smiled. Shrugging, he replied, "How would I know?"

The manager rolled his eyes. "Sir, please don't tease me. I will treat you to dinner afterwards. Please tell me what he wanted me to do."

"Pipe Organ Bay," the young man said with a grin. It was one of the most luxurious restaurants in the city.

The manager whined, "Oh my goodness..."

"Fine, I'm leaving." He got up from his seat and turned to leave.

The manager pulled him back and pleaded, "Alright. Please don't go." Clenching his teeth, he said, "Fine. Pipe Organ Bay. Just tell me!"

The man smiled and turned his head to the manager. "Charlie will not be able to make it to this meeting with the success he has right now. He has to make some real progress. So, what is the biggest shortcoming of DSS series right now?"

"What is it?" the manager asked, staring at the man blankly. He had inspected the phone himself, but he couldn't think of any shortcoming.

The young man rolled his eyes again, ridiculing the manager's ignorance. He continued to explain, "To be able to support larger games and applications, the phone would need a more powerful processor. But, it is a technical issue that can't be solved overnight. Naturally, he would think of the Z series processor." The moment he finished, the manager's eyes gleamed with realization. Smirking, the young man strode out of the meeting room.

For Charlie, a computer science genius, it wouldn't be hard to construct a powerful processor, but it would take a long time to test and manufacture. He didn't want to wait that long.

Moreover, in essence, Dragon was still part of the Dragon Empire Group. As a member of the Long Family and a candidate for the Ruler of the Dragon Empire Group, he surely wouldn't completely detach Dragon from the Dragon Empire Group. The competition between the Z series and the Z-DSS series was a stimulus for them to improve, but since they belonged to the same business body, cooperation between the two was inevitable.

A few years later, when the Z-DSS3 was released, the Z Dream series was released simultaneously. The two series established a monopoly in the hand phone market—Z-DSS, targeting the middle and lower class, and Z series targeting the upper class.

During the celebration banquet, the CEO of the Dragon Empire Group praised the two series in his speech. This laid the foundation to the long-term co-operation between his two sons, and also showed the importance of Dragon in the Dragon Empire Group.

For the banquet, Elsa was wearing a simple white gown. In the past, she would have been shy and reserved, but now, she was Mrs. Long. She elegantly attended all official occasions with Charlie Long.

Elsa's eyes were filled with pride and love as she watched Charlie giving his speech. It had been five years since they had established their relationship, but the love in their eyes had only grown through the years.

"I thought Ann was coming as well?" Olivia was wearing a sapphire skin-tight dress. Holding her glass of champagne, she looked around in search of Ann. "She didn't pick up my call."

Anna, who was in a very sexy black gown, shrugged and assured her, "Don't worry. She will be here."

"I'll step out for a minute and give her a call," Elsa said, walking towards the exit.

"I'll come with you," Olivia said. She followed Elsa, and so did Anna.

Because of some issues with Ann's family business, the four of them hadn't met in a year. Now that Ann's company was back on track, she finally had some time to meet her friends.

Though Charlie was delivering his speech, he had his eyes glued on Elsa. Charlie noticed her leaving the hall, but continued with his speech without showing any reaction in his perfect face. In the end, he announced, "I wish everyone a wonderful evening. Thank you all for coming!"

With a warm round of applause, Charlie walked off the stage. And the party began. Charlie knew that Elsa was with Olivia and Anna. She had told him that Ann would be coming as well. He wanted to give her some privacy and some much needed time with her best friends, so he didn't follow her outside.

"You don't want to let her out of your sight for even a second, do you?" Ezra teased him.

Charlie scoffed, "Have you been abandoned by Evelyn again? Is that why you are here, ruining my peace?" Charlie looked towards Evelyn, who was talking to Bess and some other women.

Ezra scrunched his nose in annoyance. "Just look at your sister. She is pregnant, yet has absolutely no restrain. And she finds it annoying when I am with her! I mean, what the hell? I am the baby's father. Why does she find me annoying?"

Laughing, Charlie shook his head. "You are on your second child. How old are you? You are still jealous of her friends."

"Hey, age has nothing to do with this. It's called romance. You wouldn't understand." Even though he was talking to Charlie, he had his eyes fixated on Evelyn, as if he was worried that she might deliver any second. "Speaking of romance and what-not, when do you plan on having a baby with Elsa?" Ezra threw a quick glance at Charlie and then returned his gaze to Evelyn. "I think mother is pretty worried."
