Chapter 320
Chase was intently watching the stage and didn’t notice her gaze.
Tanya pursed her lips and withdrew her gaze.
Jexel’s press conference this time was very successful.
When Ashley and Mr. Cox came down from the stage, they once again received a large round of applause.
The invited enterprise bosses also immediately stood up to congratulate Mr. Cox and Ashley, who came down from the stage.
Tim also immediately walked towards Ashley.
It was already imaginable what kind of sensation Jexel’s self-driving car would cause domestically and internationally.
Ashley’s net worth would soar again.

As an old friend he had known for years, Tim was genuinely happy for Ashley from the bottom of his heart. As he walked towards Ashley, he couldn’t help but give her a hug and say, “Congratulations.”
Ashley smiled:Thank you.”
Ashley’s voice wasn’t loud, so no one heard that.
The enterprise bosses present were all in the tech business, so they naturally knew the importance of talent.
Therefore, at this moment, they were even more attentive to Ashley than to Mr. Cox.
After all, such a treasure was practically a walking money tree. If anyone could poach her…
The enterprise moguls were contemplating this in their minds, but they couldn’t just bypass Mr. Cox and strike up a conversation with Ashley first. After all, this was Jexel’s press conference, and they couldn’t afford to disrespect Mr. Cox.
So, they all first offered their congratulations to Mr. Cox.
After congratulating Mr. Cox, they all wanted to chat with Ashley, but unexpectedly, Tim got there first.
Over the past six months, Ashley and Tim had often attended events or banquets together, so some of these enterprise bosses had already gotten to know Ashley.
Before, Ashley was just Tim’s girlfriend in their minds, practically having no presence at all.
Later, when Ashley’s paper caused a sensation, everyone realized that Ashley was also a talented woman.
Tim was a genius, and Ashley was his colleague, with excellent abilities as well. Everyone thought they looked somewhat well-matched.
However, once Jezel’s press conference was out, everyone realized that Ashley was not just an ordinary talented woman.
She was practically a technology genius.
It was one thing that Tim himself was a technology genius, but the girlfriend he found was a genius on the same level as him. It could be said that he had all the good things!
Many bosses on the scene were bubbling with envy.
After Tim let go of Ashley, he couldn’t help but tease, “Mr. Reed, so Ms. Jones is actually so talented, yet you’ve been hiding her all this time, that’s too
much.”
“Isn’t that right?”
Tim raised an eyebrow:”Hiding her? Clearly, you just don’t have my discerning eye.”
Everyone’s main focus right now was actually Ashley.
After exchanging a few jokes with Tim, everyone didn’t dare to neglect Ashley and very politely said to Ashley, “Ms. Jones, congratulations.”
Ashley said, Thank you.”
“Our company has other related technology projects. I wonder when Ms. Jones will be free? I’d like to find some time to chat with you in detail.”
Ashley hadn’t spoken yet when she was interrupted by another company boss,”His project isn’t really a technology project, my company’s…”
Many people surrounded Ashley and Tim, it was incredibly lively.
Chase sat still in his spot, watching all of this unfold, without moving.
Tanya sat there, clenching her hands, and didn’t move.
She looked at Chase again.
Chase still seemed not to notice her, even seemed to have forgotten her; it had been a long time since he had turned his head to glance at her.
Her face turned pale, her clenched hands tightened a bit, and she also looked at Ashley not far away.
She of course also knew what the success of this Jexel press conference represented.
The autonomous car market is only so big, and Jexel’s great success would naturally compress the market space of other companies.
If, before today, Speed’s previous technological breakthrough could give Speed a market worth hundreds of billions, then now…
Thinking of this possibility, Tanya’s heart suddenly tightened.
And what about Ashley?

Putting other things aside, if all the technologies Ashley mentioned on stage just now originated from her, she would probably be overwhelmed with various patent incomes alone, not to mention other technical dividends.
As she thought of this, Chase’s voice pulled her back from her thoughts.
She turned her head back and saw Chase glance at his wristwatch, saying, “Don’t we have other arrangements later? It’s almost time, let’s go.”
Even though she had been thinking so much, in reality, her mind was actually blank at the moment.
Hearing Chase say this, she got up and went with him to bid farewell to Mr. Cox.
Mr. Cox was still surrounded by people, and he was standing right next to Ashley and Tim.
Seeing them approach, Mr. Cox politely greeted Chase:”Mr. Sterling.”
Chase shook hands with Mr. Cox and said, “Congratulations.”
Mr. Cox smiled:”Same to you, same to you.”
Chase looked at Ashley again, and also said,”Congratulations.”
Ashley’s face was calm, Thank you.”
Chase then said to Mr. Cox:”We still have things to do, so we’ll be leaving first, Mr. Cox, everyone, let’s gather again next time we have time.”
Mr. Cox and the other business owners nodded in response one after another.
However, as everyone bid farewell politely to Chase, their gazes also landed on Tanya.
