She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew) novel Chapter 217

Chapter 217
Athena quickly found out that when Brandon was studying in Aeloria, his professor was Dr. Rhett Simpson.
Dr. Simpson was 58 years old and had been divorced three times. He was an authoritative figure and expert in the artificial intelligence sector and was passionate about recruiting geniuses of poor and humble background Everyone in the industry praised him as a good judge of talent.
Athena finally figured out why he liked to recruit students with no money, power, or background
That was because such students were easy to exploit, use, and easily bullied.
Now it’s time for his karma to bite, and Athena was there to make sure karma does its job.
After returning home, Athena had a good afternoon’s nap.
Then, she got up for dinner, took a shower, and drank some coffee before closing the door and turning off her phone. She sat in front of her computer and started writing a thesis.
She wrote through the night and didn’t go to bed until four in the morning.
When she got up in the afternoon, she ate her fill and took another hot bath. She then sat at her desk and ran through the thesis she’d written the night before.
“No foo bad.” Athena nodded with satisfaction. “It’s been a long time since I’ve written such a high paper.”
She sent the thesis to a few friends, who were overseas and were experts, through email.

As far as she knew, one of the experts was on vacation, one was recuperating, and the other was in seclusion doing research. They probably wouldn’t have time to check their private emails anytime soon. On another note, she wasn’t going to tell. them she’d sent them a paper.
Subsequently, she split the 10 thousand-word paper into three that consisted of thousands of words each. The focus of each paper was different, but all three were closely related topics.
Athena first used her email to send one of the short papers to Dr. Simpson
After a good night’s sleep, she passed on the second short paper to her subordinates in Uroterin and asked them to send it Dr. Simpson via email.
Another day later, she sent the third short paper to her subordinates in Arloria and asked them to send it to Dr. Simpson in
the same manner.
That was how Dr. Simpson was going to receive three papers on the same subject at different times, from different countries, and from different senders.
Would he consolidate the three papers into one, take them for himself, and publish them publicly? Athena thought for a
second
She bet that he would.
She lazily stretched her back in high spirits and yawned, picked up her bag, and walked out of the villa to have a big meal at
the restaurant.
It would be Christmas in a few days. The restaurant was going to be on holiday starting tomorrow and wouldn’t open until
December 28th.

Those who were free at home had all gone to the restaurant to help out. Athena wanted to join in the fun, too.
Brandon wasn’t at the restaurant right then but at a cafe.

He sat at the bar counter and looked at a noble-looking young gentleman, whose hair was slickly combed back and had his suit jacket unbuttoned. Brandon gazed at him sharply and spoke calmly, “So, you’re Mr. Tommy Giggs?”
Tommy was a famous young investor in the country.
What he was especially famous for was that he looked for investees and would never fund those who came to him
Up until now, he had not suffered any major losses in his investments. He had only experienced minute losses and huge profits.
Tommy sat on a high stool and crossed his legs elegantly. He played with the wine glass in his hand and smiled wilily. “You bet I am. Take a seat and order whatever you want to drink.”
Brandon took out a bottle of stout from the freezer under the glass bar and opened it. “Mr. Giggs, since you took the initiative to call me to discuss a collaboration, you must know that I just came out of school and have nothing to offer you. What do you see in me that made you want to invest in me?”
An hour ago, Brandon received a call. The person on the other end of the line called himself Tommy Giggs and said that he wanted to invest in Brandon.
Brandon came to the cafe to give it a go. He also planned to observe in the dark first. If the other wasn’t Tommy, he would leave.
To his surprise, the other party was really Tommy
Tommy took a sip of brandy, picked up an acquisition agreement, and placed it in front of Brandon. “Last week, I acquired a technology company. This technology company mainly develops and produces smart tutoring machines. As it’s not competitive enough, it’s on the verge of bankruptcy. However, this company doesn’t lack professionals and owns more that ten patents.
“What I like the most about it is that the smart robots they produce look very cute. They look like real children and small animals. They can be said to be the top in the country in terms of product appearance”
At this. Tommy shrugged and said with an exaggerated expression, “I like good-looking things, including robots,
“Every time I see those ugly robots, I wonder why can’t people design beautiful robots that look like humans. I’m willing to buy them just because their products are appealing to the eye”
Brandon didn’t say anything. As he listened, he pondered over Tommy’s intentions
Tommy continued. “I need a professional to manage this technology company and bring it back to life, expand and strengthen it, and eventually bring me rolling profits.
“And I think you have what it takes.”
Brandon shook his head. “The company is yours. If I agree to manage this company, I’ll be working for you.
“But what I want to do is work for myself. I want to prioritize my own wishes and not be controlled by others.”
“No, I don’t like to be the boss and manage people. Im only interested in being a shareholder and counting my profits. Otherwise, I would’ve taken over my family business long ago.” Tommy then shook his head and said, “I want to work with you because I want to hand the company over to you. I’m only in charge of investing. I don’t care what you do, as long as you help me make money
Tommy paused for a moment before uttering. “Of course, you’re considered a technical investor and you get 50% of the

shares.

Brandon grinned with surprise in his head and thought, This offer that Tommy is giving seems too good. If he meant what he said, it’s equivalent to giving me half of his company?
Brandon was tempted but not impulsive. His gaze landed on the acquisition agreement. “You spent 6 million dollars to buy the company. How much do you plan to invest in the future?” he asked.
“As long as the company can make me money. I don’t mind investing as much as needed. Tens of millions to hundreds of millions won’t be a problem,” Tommy replied.
The more relaxed and generous Tommy was, the stranger Brandon felt.
“You actually don’t know me well. I don’t have any experience in starting a successful business or managing a company. What makes you think I can do it?” Brandon questioned.
“I know more about you than you think,” Tommy said uncannily. “People like me have their own circles and channels of information. We also have our own criteria for judgment. I think you can do it, and that’s a good enough reason.”
Brandon smiled faintly and took a few sips of his ice-cold stout. Suddenly, he asked, “Did someone ask you to help me?”
Tommy smiled. “Is that important?”
He then looked at Brandon with a deep gaze “If I don’t answer that question, will you turn around and
immediately?”
If Brandon was obsessed with such a small matter and treated this opportunity lightly. Tommy would conclude that Brandon was not worth investing in When that happened, he would not need Brandon to reject him as he would leave first.
Brandon shook his head. “Actually, it’s not that important, but I still wish to know”
As he spoke, he thought to himself, “The fortunes that fell upon the Donovan family keeps getting bigger.
Last time, I was introduced to a job with an annual salary of about 200 thousand dollars. This time, someone wants to invest about 10 million dollars, or even up to tens of millions, in me.
If I refused this time, what would the third opportunity be? Winning a lottery of 100 million dollars?
