Angela clearly did not quite believe what Candice had just said and wanted to ask further, but Yondu came over to see Candice.
"Mr. Franklyn wants you to come with us to the lab this afternoon,” he said. “There's some data that Hanley asked for. Go pick it up."
Candice nodded in agreement, then turned to say a few words to Angela before focusing on her own work. She had spoken so confidently to Hanley about trying to bid for Redshade, so she was determined to give it her all.
Once she got busy, she did not have the time to think about her own little matters anymore, and she stayed busy until the end of the summit. Yondu came to see her, and she began to pack up.
Yondu couldn’t help but sigh. "Birds of a feather flock together. You really have the demeanor of Hanley when he first started. It's no wonder you both work in the same studio."
"I still have some things that I don't understand,” Candice said. “I'll ask Mr. Franklyn later."
Mr. Franklyn's studio would not participate in the bidding for Redshade. They mainly undertook large-scale design exhibitions, so after Candice told Hanley about her plans, he suggested that she could shadow Mr. Franklyn.
Yondu chuckled. "It's no big deal."
Candice laughed and left the meeting room with Yondu. However, after taking a few steps, she felt like someone was watching her from behind. She paused and looked back, but there was no one there.
"What's wrong?" Yondu asked.
Candice shook her head. "Nothing, I just feel like someone is watching me."
"Really?" Yondu also looked back.
Candice suppressed the strange feeling in her heart. "Maybe I'm just imagining things."
She followed Yondu to seek out Mr. Franklyn. They found him outside, but Candice did not expect to see Mr. Franklyn beside a car, with Sawyer standing in front.
She overheard Sawyer saying, "Mr. Elysian is busy right now, so he asked me to come and pick you up first and take you to the lab. He'll come to see you later."
Mr. Franklyn nodded and got into the car.
Yondu opened the door of the passenger seat. "Candice, you should sit in the front seat."
Sawyer smiled slightly when he saw Candice, and she did not feel it was appropriate to say anything in front of Mr. Franklyn.
On the way to the lab, she learned from Sawyer and Yondu that Alex would be one of the investors this time, and Mr. Franklyn had helped to facilitate this. Because Alex had also invested in Mr. Franklyn's lab.
It was inevitable for Aether to spend money to enter Solaris, and Candice did not say anything about it.
At the lab, the data set Hanley needed had to be exported from the computer. Candice watched as Yondu operated.
After Sawyer dropped them off, he went to pick up Alex. However, before the data could be exported, Alex arrived. He went straight to Mr. Franklyn and began discussing something in a low voice.
Yondu glanced at him when he had a moment. "Those who are bosses are really different. They are efficient and know how to navigate social situations.” He lowered his voice, speaking only to Candice. “Mr. Franklyn originally didn't want to accept Aether's investment, but after talking to Alex once, for some reason, he agreed."
As long as Alex wanted to maintain a good relationship, there was nothing he could not do.
Candice looked back at Yondu's screen, and suddenly heard Mr. Franklyn's voice. "Yondu, come with me to the warehouse and get a model."
Yondu responded and turned to Candice, saying, "When the progress bar reaches 85%, drag this file over.” Then he followed Mr. Franklyn to the warehouse.
