Eric, who returned before he could take two steps, was actually a little angry!Both times, he was eliminated because of Nicole.No one would believe it if she said that she did not do it on purpose.Eric’s gaze was sad and restrained as he looked at Nicole. The two of them confronted each other, and the surrounding people did not dare to watch the show and immediately ran.Nicole also wanted to follow, but Eric blocked her path.“Are you doing this on purpose?”He looked at her with a sullen gaze. His eyes reflected the sunlight. They were deep and dark, surging like a gathering storm.“Can’t afford to lose?”Nicole snorted lightly and deliberately provoked him with some disdain.She won against him twice. Her victory was already assured.She did not need him to say that he would “let her win”.Eric let out a low chuckle. “I can.”He underestimated her!Eric had never been defeated, but when it came to Nicole, he lost completely.Nicole raised her head to look at Eric. H
There was no need to mention anyone else. Eric and Grant were both on the blue team, so the red team was at a disadvantage.However, Nicole’s only target was Eric Ferguson.The wind was picking up.The sound of the wind was everywhere in her ears, mixed with the sounds of walking and running, making it difficult to distinguish between the sounds.Nicole quietly nestled in a corner and secretly took out two blue team members from behind.However, her red team also lost four members.After a fierce battle, Nicole was the only one left on the red team.Eric and Grant were left on the blue team.Nicole thought about it. In order to divert attention, she simply took off the red label on her uniform and threw it away.A blue team member was looking for her at the entrance to the woods ahead, but she did not know if it was Eric or Grant.She slowly and silently approached.Just as she was about to attack the person’s back, there was a sudden chill on her waist as a coldness envelop
Nicole and Eric, the only ones who remained, were about 15 feet apart. As soon as their eyes met, the two simultaneously raised the weapon in their hands.“Bang bang—” Two gunshots.It was just the sound.The wind howled.No one was hit.Nicole ducked and rolled behind the thick tree trunk, gasping for breath.Eric quickly rolled into the grass.He was faster. Before Nicole could take a breath, he took advantage of the situation, and the moment his gun appeared behind her, hers also came up against his abdomen.The admiration flowing from Eric’s eyes was undisguised.He was a pro, but she was more skilled.Neither gave in to the other.Nicole looked at him. “Who won?”She let her guard down and tried to negotiate the outcome.Eric’s lips curled in a smile. Taking advantage of the split-second she was distracted, he suddenly pushed aside the gun that was pressed against his abdomen with one hand. With a twist of the wrist, he used the barrel of her gun to hold her against t
Eric had strong self-control over anything that could be addictive.However, his feelings for Nicole seemed to grow stronger by the day. It seemed like he would never be able to break that addiction.Perhaps, in those five years, Nicole had already quietly taken root in his heart, but he never realized it until it grew into a huge, towering tree.It was no longer possible for him to ignore it.Nicole frowned. Just as she was about to say something, a few executives on the other side shouted at them.“Come back quickly! Which one of you won?”“It must be President Nicole. She won two out of three games.”“According to President Ferguson’s temper, he definitely won’t win the third round. How can he be so desperately trying to chase a woman?”“That’s right. Congratulations to President Nicole for her victory!”......She did not want to say anything more.Nicole and Eric went back one after the other.“Congratulations on your victory, President Nicole!”Nicole looked at them.
A trace of disdain and indifference flashed in Eric’s eyes. Ivy did not miss the trace of emotion in his face and instantly felt like her heart was stabbed.She felt a painful convulsion.Eric raised his head and looked at her.“The reason why you were dismissed from Stanton Corporation should be clear. Ferguson Corporation won’t accept an employee who can’t even pass the internship period. Also, with all due respect, don’t compare yourself to Nicole. You’re from completely different worlds.”The difference was as stark as heaven and earth. What was there to compare?His words were too straightforward, not caring whether Ivy’s self-esteem would be hurt or not. Her face swiftly paled.Even Mitchell felt some pity for her.Unexpectedly, not only did Ivy not leave, but she also stood there and looked pitifully at Eric, her fists clenched tightly.“But Old Master Ferguson said that Ms. Stanton is too strong-minded. You sent your sister and mother away because of her. She’ll only ca
Ivy saw the cold and indifferent Nicole and felt her heart turn sour. She quietly pinched her skirt and gritted her teeth in forbearance.Eric’s eyes only had warmth when she arrived.However, Ivy did not want to admit defeat and leave so wretchedly like this.At least, there was still hope for her as long as Eric and Nicole were not married.Even if she was an illegitimate daughter and a fake, as long as she was acknowledged by the Harrison family, she was the Harrison family’s Second Young Lady.Ivy took a deep breath and looked at Mitchell pitifully. “Can I borrow Mr. Ferguson’s room to wash my face?”She would stay a little longer until Nicole left. If Eric saw her inside his office, he would not be able to remain indifferent.Mitchell stood there in embarrassment. “I’m afraid not. No one is allowed to use President Ferguson’s private space. Why don’t you go to the washroom outside, Ms. Harrison?”Ivy froze. She did not expect to be rejected.Her face turned from white to
The public was both happy and afraid of artificial intelligence. It facilitated and made life convenient, but it also brought with it risks.It was not as emotional as the human mind, and it did not have eyes to see and ears to listen with.Its reason, analysis, data, coordination, and optimization constituted an intelligent yet unfeeling smart chip. It was a deadly danger if it went out of control.This was also the reason why autopilot vehicles never dominated the market after it was introduced.Humans trusted themselves more.Once trust was lost, even a 1 in 10,000 chance of danger would cause great resentment among the people.Gerard’s tone was heavy. “We’re not the first in this field, but our technology is the most refined thus far. We’ve been optimizing the system, and our AI is more sensitive, quicker, and better than others. However, we have to prepare for the worst. Do we stop it now or wait for the results?”It was clear that 90% of this accident was due to a problem
No one could make a joke out of Eric Ferguson.Public opinion and the stock market would ferment wildly in the follow-up. It was still possible to have a degree of influence domestically, but once public opinion in Europe started to ignite and attack the research being done in Mediania, it would not be as simple as resulting in losses for the three companies.It would affect Mediania’s status and image. When relevant departments intervene, it would only make the situation more difficult to deal with as their hands were tied.“Eric…”Gerard looked at Eric speechlessly as the latter stood up with an unpleasant expression and left the conference room.Mitchell packed his things from the side and shook his head.Sure enough, Eric Ferguson would not accept any kind of blow from anyone. His self-confidence was inherent.Nicole arrived at the entrance of Ferguson Corporation and coincidentally saw Ivy Harrison standing there.She looked like she was waiting for someone. Specifically,
