I assume everyone in this room holds at least a Master's degree. Honestly, do you feel like working for a high schooler is beneath you?"
"Before you walked in, we all assumed a boss with such aggressive vision and capital must be a seasoned veteran.
But seeing you now, I realize that age doesn't limit brilliance, and a diploma doesn't dictate ambition.
If someone as accomplished as Mr. Lance is willing to work for you, I have no doubt you are extraordinary."
The developer replied.
"Exactly. Working here doesn't feel like a step down. In fact, being selected for this team feels like an honor."
The rest of the room nodded in agreement.
Owen's presence was the ultimate anchor. He held a Ph.D. from MIT and possessed a terrifyingly successful business track record. If it weren't for his validation, Mira would have had to fight tooth and nail to earn the respect of these elite tech geniuses.
"Soren Tate, right? I have a specific project to discuss with you shortly."
"How do you know my name?"
"It's nothing. I just reviewed the top-tier graduate rankings."
Mira then addressed the room, laying out her master plan.
"The future belongs to the internet and mobile technology. And the absolute core of any mobile device is its operating system.
Western tech giants have already developed highly intelligent operating systems. It won't be long before the two biggest global players invade our domestic market.
If we don't start engineering our own foundation right now, our country will have absolutely no voice in the tech world. We will be entirely at their mercy.
If you fall behind, you get crushed. That's a universal truth, and the corporate world is a warzone.
I won't lie to you—this project will be brutally difficult. It will require years of relentless, agonizing work.
But there is no such thing as an easy, peaceful life unless someone else is bleeding to protect it.
In the past, generations fought and died so we could live in peace. Now, it's our turn.
