Chapter 1042
The students were all astonished. Among the teaching staff of the holistic medicine college, there was actually one who seemed to have connections with the underworld. They even wondered if Eric was there to ensure their safety.Observing the students' reactions, the senior holistic physician smiled, saying, "Students, consider this your first lesson today! From now on, never underestimate anyone!"This is Professor Eric Johnson, whom we invited through various connections. It's an honor to have him as part of our teaching staff here."The students exclaimed. All the senior holistic physicians there were distinguished characters in society, yet they had to rely on various connections to invite Eric to the college?The senior holistic physician chuckled/ "Curious, aren't you? With Prof. Johnson here, our holistic medicine college has been elevated by several levels. The medical skills of all of us combined can't even match up to Prof. Johnson alone!"Eric quickly waved his hand. If

"I'd like a club sandwich, Prof. Johnson!"Prof. Johnson, I'd like steak!"Prof. Johnson, I'd also like a drink!"Prof. Johnson..."Eric finally sensed that something was off. "What's going on with you?"Sylvia smiled. "Nothing much, Prof. Johnson. Let's eat?"Eric was puzzled and kept glancing at Sylvia during the meal."What's wrong, Prof. Johnson? Don't you like the food?" Sylvia asked with a smile.Eric felt something was wrong and started feeling uneasy. "Can we... not do this?"Before Sylvia could speak, a surprised voice echoed. "S-Sylvia? Is that you?"Sylvia looked up and saw a man in his early 30s, with hair parted down the middle, approaching her.Sylvia looked puzzled. "You are..." Although she didn't quite recall this person from her memory, he felt somewhat familiar."It's me, Diego! We were in the same class at university!" Diego Martinez said."Oh..." Sylvia nodded. "What are you doing here?"She couldn't recall having a classmate named Diego during her

Sylvia glanced at Eric. "Ah, speaking of which, he is also half your colleague, a professor at King City University! He insisted on treating me to a meal, so I reluctantly agreed."Eric's mouth twitched.Wasn't Sylvia the one who suggested coming to the cafeteria?Diego was stunned at the revelation.But he had never seen Eric on the university premises before.What puzzled him even more was that Sylvia used to be known for her aloofness in university. Not only had she been maintaining a cold demeanor toward male classmates, but even female classmates had been hesitant to approach her.How could she accept his invitation unless they were quite close?But even so, inviting such a beautiful woman to the cafeteria for a meal seemed... inappropriate.Thinking of that, Diego suggested, "The food in the cafeteria is just average. There's a seafood restaurant near the entrance that receives fresh seafood every day. How about we go there?""Let's skip that for today." Sylvia shook her

Eric couldn't shake off his curiosity. Sylvia's allure had attracted many admirers.Back in high school, Eric would often steal glances at Sylvia, and it was because of her that he ended up at Salt Province University. However, he couldn't help but feel the need to aim for a better university.Sylvia responded to Eric's musings with a confident smile. "Him? My admirers could line up from King City all the way to Phoenix City!"Eric raised an eyebrow and remarked, "I must be extremely lucky then. Thank you, Ms. Williams."Sylvia snorted coldly in response and turned her head away. "I don't want to talk to you anymore! This lady wants to take a nap now, so don't disturb me."Eric and Sylvia avoided napping together because Eric struggled to keep his hands to himself. After Sylvia went to rest, Matteo called. Upon learning Eric was in King City, he headed directly to Eric's residence."Mr. Johnson, how have you been lately?""Very well." Eric poured tea for Matteo and asked, "Wha

Sylvia woke up around 3:00 p.m. When she entered the living room and saw Eric standing there, she said, "You didn't take a nap? Did I scare you?"I was just joking with you, adding some fun in case you find life boring."Eric was rather speechless. After all the emotional turmoil, Sylvia was just trying to spice up their lives a bit?!Sylvia walked over, smiling. "So, were you scared? I saw a video online and decided to try it out!""You scared me! I had no idea what you were up to!"Sylvia laughed and noticed the case on the table. "What's this? I didn't see it when I came back."Eric cast a meaningful glance and said, "Why don't you open it?"Sylvia looked puzzled. She opened the case and was shocked to see the stunning necklace. "This... This gemstone is huge!""Take a good look." Eric grinned. "Matteo went through a lot of trouble to get it. Since he couldn't find anyone to give it to, he brought it here. It suits you perfectly."Women couldn't resist beautiful things, and

Meeting Sylvia again was a rare occurrence for Diego.After Diego arranged a gathering with several classmates in King City, he invited Sylvia as well."Being too beautiful isn't always a good thing," Sylvia humble-bragged.Eric smiled. "It's inevitable. That's your capital. You could easily live off your looks, yet you choose to work hard and manage the company. You're making life difficult for others."Although Eric was teasing her, Sylvia was undeniably beautiful. While the women he knew had their own characteristics, Sylvia outshined them all when it came to pure beauty.Sylvia casually tidied up, and then Eric drove her to the gathering."What are you going to do for dinner?" Sylvia asked Eric before entering the restaurant.Eric looked at Sylvia. "I'll just grab something nearby. You go ahead."Dining alone was not an issue. At worst, he could have a simple meal.Sylvia nodded and then entered the restaurant.Five men and two women had already arrived at the private roo

Sylvia appeared content with her marriage but left a distant impression on everyone. She seldom engaged in conversations with her male classmates and rarely exchanged words with her female counterparts.Over the years, however, Sylvia had undergone a transformation. Not only had her speech become more frequent compared to her university days, but she also no longer exuded the same aloofness.Nevertheless, when she announced her marriage, it caught everyone off guard, as hardly any of them had tied the knot.Some individuals in their circle had pursued higher education abroad, while others had enhanced their qualifications locally and succeeded, such as Diego, who became a young professor.Witnessing Sylvia's evident happiness, a female classmate couldn't resist asking, "Sylvia, what does your husband do? He must be remarkable, right?"Among their classmates were those with influential backgrounds and wealth. Some had previously expressed interest in Sylvia, only to face rejection.

The Innova Group had dealt a blow to the three major international manufacturers, prompting them to consider withdrawing from the domestic market. Without the need to maintain some semblance of competition, these manufacturers wouldn't have stood a chance domestically."Kyle, is the Innova Group really that formidable?" a female classmate asked."Formidable? That's an understatement!" Kyle Brundy replied."The Innova Group now dominates the domestic market, having lowered equipment prices from the three giants."If it weren't for the Innova Group, essential network equipment items would be priced at least 20% higher than they are now."A recent analysis of the Innova Group's assets revealed that, despite being established for just over three years, its assets are estimated to exceed tens of billions of dollars!"The domestic market is worth hundreds of billions of dollars! So, the group's valuation is bound to exceed hundreds of billions of dollars sooner or later, possibly withi
