Ch. 1781..1785: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1781-1785

Chapter 1781

As she entered the venue with Jared, it was only then did Nicole feel somewhat at ease.

Behind them, Samuel and Spencer had arrived at the venue too and they followed closely behind the couple.

After Nicole and Jared walked into the venue, they saw the luxurious venue.

For the launch of this manned flying car, the venue was set up using a particularly avant-garde technological concept.

In the center of the crowd, Terry was briefing everyone and testing the manned flying car's various functions and abilities.

Many CEOs were gathered before the stage and they watched carefully with a look of awe in their eyes.

And Kelly was accompanying a CEO, whispering a few words with him from time to time.

Max walked up and whispered to Jared, "The man beside Kelly is the CEO of the biggest car manufacturer in Mercadia."

Nicole could also see the embarrassment on Kelly's face, and it seemed like the latter had been asking her a lot of strange questions.

Nicole was just about to go over when suddenly, a figure unexpectedly walked over to Kelly's side first.

Jared and Nicole looked at each other and there was a hint of surprise in Nicole's eyes.nove.l.e.book She knew that Ike would definitely attend the launch press conference.

But at this moment, Ike was wearing the uniform of a Johnston Group staff! Nicole raised her eyebrow and asked Jared, "When did you let him into the company?"

"Didn't we already agree to that at dinner last time? So, he got his team to join the company two days ago," Jared said somewhat nonchalantly.

Nicole frowned.

"You don't suspect anything when he wanted to join this project so proactively?"

She knew Ike somewhat, and while he was a science maniac, for him to abandon his job at Mr.Harmon's side and to join Jared's project just like that...It felt...wrong.

Ike was a man of honor who would stand by his morals and principles.So it was extremely strange.

"I've investigated, and his team had a conflict with the two who were trying to make things difficult for you.Since his team was being stepped on, he chose to leave."

Naturally, Jared was suspicious so he had this investigated first.

Nicole was silent.She too had left because of those two back then.

‘So, it's not impossible for Ike either.."

Letting out a sigh, Nicole did not say anything else.

"Got it, but be on guard."

Although Ike was not a bad person, she always felt uneasy for some reason.

"Don't worry.I know that.I won't allow him to touch any core tech for the time being."

Nicole nodded.

It seemed like Jared knew what she was concerned about.

The two then looked at the rich businessman and seeing that Ike managed to answer his questions so quickly, nove.l.e.book the CEO's expression turned somewhat approving.

Jared could not help but laugh.

"It looks like he still has some use."

Nicole's gaze was calculating.

"Ike's capabilities aren't limited to this."

Those words caused Jared to feel a little jealous.

"You seem to admire him."

Nicole sensed that this guy found an opportunity to be jealous, so she quickly added, "No, I never admired any other man.Don't twist my words."

Jared smiled and felt a little better.The two of them originally thought that they did not need to go over to speak with the CEO over there.

 

Chapter 1782

Yet, unexpectedly, the CEO's female companion took notice of Jared at that very moment.It was just an instant, but the woman seemed to have recognized him.She then smiled toward him as she walked over.

Nicole looked at the woman, dressed in an eye-catching red dress with black high heels and silver earrings, walking toward them with an aloof aura all over her.Her gaze then sharpened somewhat.

The woman's toned lines told Nicole that this woman was not any ordinary person, and it seemed like she had...some martial ability to her.

The lady walked toward Jared and Nicole with bright eyes and stood firmly before Jared as she proffered her hand.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're Mr.Jared Johnston, right? I've heard many good things about you."

Jared glanced at the lady and stretched his hand out indifferently.

"Yes, I'm him.You're..."

"The CEO of Karfeldt Incorporated.My name is Mona Mohr, and that's my father, Kyle Mohr."

The lady was extremely polite, her demeanor graceful as she exuded an air of nobility.

Nicole had quite an impression of the name Mohr and asked.

"You're from Deinsland?"

Mona could not help but glance at Nicole as she said with a smile, "Yes.How did you know?"

Nicole responded slowly with an icy look.

"The largest car manufacturer in Mercadia, the name Mohr, that only naturally means you're from the royal house nove.l.e.book of Deinsland, House Montferrat."

Mona did not expect Nicole to know the identity of their house and her gaze sharpened somewhat.

"Not many know the house we belong to.May I get your name?"

Nicole smiled.

"In comparison to House Montferrat, the Riddle family is nothing."

Mona pondered for a bit and immediately realized her target.

"Ah, so you're Mr.Johnston's fiancée.A daughter of the Riddle Corporation, the bearer of the Fire Crest."

For some reason, when Mona uttered the last few words, Nicole could sense a tinge of murderous intent in her eyes.But as it was a fleeting one, so she paid it no mind.

After all, there was no one in this world that did not want to get their hands on the Fire Crest.

"I did not think I'd meet both Mr.Johnston and the inheritor of the Fire Crest today at this press conference.My father's very interested in the manned flying car and would like to collaborate with your company.I wonder if we can talk further on this?"

Although Mona now Inew Nicole's identity, her eyes still looked in Jared's direction.

It was clear that she had a firm goal in mind and that was to speak with the person in charge of the Johnston Group.

Jared, however, smiled.

Sure, but my fiancé is the lead developer of the manned flying car's AI system.I won't be able to answer a lot of questions if she's not around.Let's meet in the guest room in ten minutes."

Mona was surprised that Nicole was the lead developer of the AI system, but she did not say anything as she smiled and replied nove.l.e.book, "Most definitely.I'll go and inform my father.See you in a moment.

After that, Mona turned around and walked to Kyle's side to whisper a few words to him.

Kyle then turned his head in Jared's direction and the two exchanged nods.

Seeing that the other party had agreed, Jared walked with Nicole to the guest room.

Nicole glanced at Mona one more time before turning around.

Sensing Nicole's silence, Jared teased her, "What are you thinking? Nicole glanced at him.

"This father-daughter pair are not ordinary people.You should be careful if you work with them."

Jared curled his lips playfully.

"You very rarely worry about my affairs."

Nicole had never interfered in his affairs, so he had no idea how much Nicole knew about the field of business, but he would always take her words into consideration.

"I was never worried about your ability."

Nicole gazed meaningfully at Jared.

"That's why I never asked anything about your company, but the Montferrat family is an ancient and massive family in Deinsland.Back then...some of my comrades died because of them..."

Nicole's eyes suddenly became forlorn, and Jared immediately realized that Nicole may have had a confrontation with the Montferrat family before.

Chapter 1783

Jared grabbed her hand.

"Though I don't know what's going on, you should know that if you don't like them or if you're uncomfortable, we don't have to work together."

The Mercadia market was quite important to Jared.

However, it could not replace Nicole's importance.He will not do anything that would make her unhappy.

Nicole glanced at Jared.She was touched by his gesture.She shook her head.

"If they're the largest car manufacturer in Mercadia, it's vital for you to work with them.My matters have nothing to do with you and getting partnerships."

Jared looked at her with seriousness in his eyes.

"Don't worry.I'll look over the details of the other party first before anything else.nove.l.e.book What's more important now is that you come first, and if you have anything you want to say, you can tell me."

Nicole knew that Jared cared a lot about her.However, it is because of this that he would put a halt to his plans.

"It's okay.It happened long ago.It's long forgotten, so it's okay.No hard feelings."

Jared surrendered, knowing that Nicole would not emphasize too much on the issue.

So he did not press on further.

The two of them entered the guest room while Kelly was showing both Mona and Kyle Mohr to the office.

"Mr.Johnston, I have long admired you.It's a pleasure to meet you in person."

"The pleasure's mine.Please have a seat, Mr.and Ms.Mohr."

Jared invited them both to take a seat.

Kyle began to speak after he settled down.

"I saw your company's manned flying car technology earlier today.I have to admit that the technology would expand worldwide and a collaboration between us would make that happen.That said, our car manufacturing company is one of the finest in the world and has over seventy percent of Mercadia's market.If you would consider partnering up, your company would be even more influential than it is now."

The corner of Jared's mouth twitched as he continued listening to Kyle's words.

'Does he think we will just provide the technology to our cars?"

"I thoroughly understand your desire to collaborate with us, but you have to know that we have our own market too.It has just expanded into Eperon.Thus we would like to not just cooperate on the technical side."

"Technical support? Do they think we're some sort of charity case? This pair is really something"

Kyle had thought far that seeking for technical cooperation would not be achieved quite so smoothly.

"I heard the Johnston Group has its own manned flying car factory, but if it were to build its own factory in Mercadia, the cost alone would be too expensive.You could use our factory for processing, provided

you can provide for your own team and core technology. nove.l.e.book After the product launch, we can have about 30% of the profits."

Though Nicole has very limited knowledge of shopping malls, knowing that the Johnston family owns the technology of the manned flying cars and asking for 30% of the total profits, it was safe to say that the Mohrs were being shameless about it.

Nicole did not speak up as it was Jared's field of expertise.

Jared took a sip of water calmly and said, "Mr.Mohr, if you really want us to cooperate with you, you ought to show us some kind of sincerity.I think you know I have a lot of people lining up to work with me.With the conditions you are proposing right now, I don't think we're seeing eye-to-eye."

Jared emphasized his last few words, directly mocking him.

Kyle immediately felt embarrassed.

Jared was younger.It was expected for him to treat Kyle with some respect.

Jared ignored Kyle completely.

"An honest person doesn't beat around the bush.My time is very valuable.There's only one condition that we can make to collaborate with you.We get to have our own team, the project funds will be funded jointly with our company having 60% of the profits.You can consider this offer and let me know."

Nicole glanced at Jared appreciatively, admiring how Jared spoke assertively without nonsense.

Kyle, on the other hand, was overwhelmed by Jared's assertive aura.

Mona, who sensed that the atmosphere was a bit tense, spoke up.

"Mr.Johnston, partnerships and collaborations are all about negotiations.These conditions can be amended, right?"

Mona smiled at Jared.Her eyes were a bit charming.

Jared glanced at her and ignored her all at once and said, "Johnston's conditions are not negotiable."

Chapter 1784

Both the father and daughter fell silent for a moment.

Mona's expression was a little stiff, noting that Jared was the first person ever to not give her attention or leave any space for her to back into.

Mona took a deep breath and smiled.

"Alright then, we hear your words and the conditions you've laid out for us.We'll get back to you soon after we hold a shareholders meeting."

Nicole snorted mentally as she watched from the sidelines.

'These were all expedient measures.For a company like the Mohr, they themselves would have the final say.The other shareholders wouldn't have any right to dictate them what to do"

As it had nothing to do with her, Nicole kept silent.

Kyle immediately understood what his daughter meant.He added, "We'll give you a solid answer after three days."

"Sure.By the way, you should be quick.Otherwise, other people would approach me with better conditions during these three days and the potential collaboration with Karfeldt would be dissolved."

Mona's expression stiffened as she saw how unwavering Jared was.

On the other hand, Kyle could only bite the bullet and agree.

"Got it."

Mona's eyes trailed to Nicole.She thought about what Jared had mentioned about the technical problems earlier.

"Mr.Johnston, I would like to know that if we agree to your conditions, will your technical team be led by Ms.Riddle?"

The sudden question had made Jared narrow his eyes at her.

Nicole raised her eyebrows and glanced at Mona.

Mona seemed to have touched a weak spot.

"You mentioned that artificial intelligence was a part of the development of the manned flying car which was Ms.Riddle's area of expertise nove.l.e.book .If you're willing to let Ms.Riddle lead the technical team, then we would feel more at ease when we work together."

Jared did not expect Mona to target Nicole.His eyes darkened as Mona continued looking at Nicole with sharp eyes as if she was waiting for the two of them to decide.

Jared thought about Nicole and how he could find a yielding solution for them both.

On the other hand, Nicole had enough and saw right through Mona's scheme.

Nicole smiled with her lips curled.

"If I were to lead the team, then will Ms.Mohr agree to Mr.Johnston's conditions?"

Mona was taken aback for a moment, knowing that Jared's fiancé was still in school and there was no way he would let her go abroad while she was still a student.

Mona just wanted to pressure Jared into giving in, not expecting that nove.l.e.book Nicole would step in to intervene.

Jared had wanted to refuse and did not expect Nicole to respond to Mona.

Immediately, Jared understood what Nicole meant and asked Mona, "Is that what you meant, Ms.Mohr?"

The sudden bombardment of questions toward Mona, left her feeling suffocated.

Mona's expression turned a little green and Kyle's face became extremely sour.

'The Mohr family is one of the biggest and most influential families in Mercadia! It would be too much for them to give up 60 % of the total profit all because of the manned flying car's technology! If they can't get their hands on their opponent's technology, they could only abide"

Both the Mohrs were in a dilemma, unable to come to a decision.

Chapter 1785

Kyle turned to look at his daughter.

His daughter was a graduate from the International School of Business, the entire Karfeldt Incorporated had relied on her for many things in the past two years.

Mona saw her father's firm look and could only grit her teeth.

"Of course, that's what I meant.As long as Mr.Johnston is able to agree to us today, then we shall seal the deal right here and then."

Mona had gone all out, she did not believe that Jared would be completely brazen about his abrupt decision making.

After all, she was very dear to him.However, Nicole burst out laughing and took the lead.

"Okay then.Congratulations to the two of you on a successful partnership."

Mona's face froze upon hearing the sentence.

"You...agree?"

‘Nicole...was she testing me earlier?"

"Of course."

Nicole raised her eyebrows and nodded with a chic look on her face.

Jared had also felt that Nicole had worked hard recently and felt that she seemed to be slowly inching her way into his world.

Jared cooperated calmly.

"Since the lady of honor has spoken, I have nothing to say but thank you in advance for your cooperation."Jared stretched out his hand in a gentleman manner which pushed Mona into the corner with no way of backing out on this agreement.She could only stretch out her hand stiffly to shake Jared's large palm.

"We look forward to working with you..."

Mona's heart stopped as she said those words.

'This is less than the initial profit we pitched for.Talk about unexpected!' As Mona thought about it, she could not help glaring at Nicole.

It's all her fault! If it weren't for her tricks I wouldn't have agreed so easily! Does she think she's that important? I bet she doesn't know anything about artificial intelligence at all.She probably bought it all! She won't gain an inch of advantage.Instead she'll end up worse! Let's see how long she'll be able to hold out"

‘Though the profit made from this is the bare minimum, I can't lose out on this piece of technology to her.I'll have to find my way and look for an opportunity to negotiate with Jared"

Kyle looked at his daughter who had agreed to the terms.He assured himself that Mona had other plans in store.

Kyle's face was sullen as he agreed along.

"Since we've all agreed, Mr.Johnston, why don't you prepare the contract? My daughter and I will be in the country for the next three days.We can sign the contract within those dates."

"Okay," Jared agreed frankly.

The entire negotiation was completely unexpected.Due to Nicole's presence, the negotiation had been concluded easily.

"Now that that's settled, we shall be off now."

Kyle did not want to stay there any longer.He was eager to question Mona about what was going through her brain.

"Take care.Bye."

Jared did not bother to send them off, so he asked Kelly to send them off as an act of courtesy.Kyle's complexion was terrible, but he had to endure it until after they left.

Mona did not miss the chance to look at Nicole with menacing eyes.

Nicole looked at the father and daughter duo and smiled playfully.

"It's quite relieving to see them so burned out."

Jared, who noticed Nicole was happy, felt elated and played along.

"As long as it makes you happy."

Jared had wanted to stretch out some flexibility in his conditions, noting that Nicole did not favor the Mohr much.

Thus, Jared was firm on refusing to let Nicole go to lead the team in Mercadia when Mona proposed so.It was surprising that Mona had agreed to their terms.

"Mona is one smart lady, she knew I was your weakness." Nicole gave Jared a cold look.

Jared smiled triumphantly.

"But she isn't as smart as you are.So tell me, why did you agree to her condition?"

‘Nicole was still in school.She definitely could not keep going back and forth between two countries." Nicole smiled.

"Have you heard of stereoscopic images?"
