Danny nodded with a smile, thinking that Simon would probably be astonished if he knew that Angeline was the founder of Vitality Biotech Group.
"Yeah!" Angeline said, looking at Danny.
"Mr. Reilly's offer was irresistible."
Simon smiled and said, "So, what about now? I'm still very eager to get you to join my team. Professor Sharpe said we'll need professionals in both biological genetics and brain neurology, and it's our honor to have you join us. I'll give you my best offer!"
Simon had never given up on brain-computer interfaces over the last few years. The deeper he delved into this field, the greater the obstacles he faced.
That was why he desperately wanted to meet Angeline today because he needed Angeline's help.
Noticing Simon's eagerness, Danny interrupted, "You won't be able to steal Angeline away from me!"
He thought Simon was anxious to meet Angeline because he fancied her. He didn't expect him to attempt to poach her instead.
"If you're interested, take a look at these materials," Simon said, handing his tablet to Angeline.
He had come prepared.
Angeline took the tablet, tucked her stray hair behind her ear, and carefully read the materials under the restaurant's ambient lighting.
Danny tapped on the table impatiently and asked, "Can we at least eat first?"
"Order something for me. I want to review this…" said Angeline, appearing genuinely intrigued.
Simon looked at Danny and smiled with an eyebrow raised, then picked up his glass to take a sip.
He knew that scholars like Angeline, who were passionate about research, loved challenges the most. People like her couldn't be swayed by money alone.
