Chapter 914
The most important part of the event was starting soon, and several important figures were alreadyseated at the round table. This included Stefan, Frederick Yarrow, and many other powerful leaders ofthe industry.
The rest of the participants could only observe their meeting from a large meeting room outside thehall. Even the biggest sponsor of the event, Seraphina, was not allowed to attend the conference.
To start the conference, the eight industry leaders would have to press the activation button, located inthe middle of the conference table, simultaneously. This activation button was shaped like the Earthand divided into eight pieces, representing the eight regions that contributed most to the technologyindustry.
The conference was scheduled to start soon. Some people had even brought automated translators,and they counted down excitedly.
“Five, four, three, two…”
There was a long silence. Nothing had happened, and the attendees were visibly confused. Theactivation button should have been pressed by now.
“I’m sorry, everyone, I’m afraid we’re experiencing some technical issues.” Frederick Yarrow, thepresident of the Electronics Technology Association and the host of the event, suddenly announced ina panicked voice.
“Huh? Technical difficulties? What happened?”
Everyone outside the conference room was confused, and they all started discussing possible reasonsfor the delay. In the end, only the industry leaders would know what was happening, all… seven ofthem?
“As you can see, there are only seven leaders sitting here. There is still one very important memberwho is absent, and the piece they represent is second to H Group. Without them, we are unable to lightup the button, which is why this conference cannot begin yet.” Frederick then pointed at the empty seatnext to Stefan. “The person who will join us shortly is the newest chairman of KCL, someone who hasmade remarkable contributions to our industry”
Frederick inhaled deeply, then explained, “KCL is fortunate to have quite a skilled research team thatconstantly brings us many surprises, leading our industry to greater heights… This new chairman is afellow researcher too, just like their predecessor, Mr. Y. This person is also the genius who invented therenowned G6 chip! Once this chip is officially introduced to the public, it will revolutionize our currentindustry, potentially changing everyone’s lives!”
Frederick’s words piqued everyone’s interest, and the people there grew more and more curious aboutthe chairman’s identity. They didn’t really mind that the chairman was late, considering how influentialthe person was, but they were worried that the chairman might not show up at all.
“President Yarrow, everything you just said is practically common knowledge at this point. We’ve beenwaiting for so long to see who this mysterious KCL chairman is, not to hear about how great they are!We hope this legend can help lead our industry to greater heights!”
“Yeah! We just want to see who this new KCL chairman is! Can’t you use your position as the presidentto summon them here?!”
Many people were starting to feel impatient, and they started pressuring Frederick.
Frederick was feeling quite anxious as he turned to the crowd. “Calm down, everyone. I’ve alreadymade some calls to the new chairman of KCL. They might be busy at the moment, because they’re notpicking up any of my calls…”
“What? Can’t you get anything right, Yarrow? As the president of the Electronics TechnologyAssociation, you should at least be able to do this much, right? If you can’t, you should really considerresigning!”
“That’s right, you couldn’t bring over the one you were supposed to invite, and instead ended upinviting not one, but two unwelcome strays! A useless president like you should have resigned longago!”novelbin
Frederick repeatedly dialed the new chairman’s number, feeling so stressed that he was close to tears.
On the other hand, Stefan was sitting in the very middle of the conference table, looking remarkablycomposed. His cold gaze made it seem like he wasn’t involved in this summit at all.
