She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 276 It was likely that the Randolph family's complaint worked.

Brandon had received a notice from that private hospital that he could not demonstrate and recommend his company's Al products to patients in the future. They could only recommend the products to the relevant departments of the hospital through official channels. The hospital would then decide whether to try the products out or purchase them. Brandon knew that Athena had connections with this hospital. If he asked Athena for help, it would not be a problem for him to secure the hospital's cooperation.

But he didn't do that.

No matter how many connections and skills Athena had, they were all earned by her. He had no contribution to that.

He felt that he could not squander Athena's resources as he pleased just because he and Athena were family. So, he didn't push it and continued demonstrating at other hospitals.

t sure if it was the Randolph family working behind the scenes. He went to more than ten hospitals in one go, but all of them rejected him. There wasn't even a chance to negotiate. He had lived to the age of twenty-eight and endured his fair share of hardships and suffering, so this setback was nothing to him.

However, he wasn As long as he kept his composure and kept fighting despite repeated failures, that was all that mattered. Perhaps the the universe rewarded diligence. After a few more days of approaching hospitals, a large company reached out to him. "Our CEO's father saw the Al products developed by your company at a trade fair and bought two of them. He found them very useful and strongly recommended this kind of Al product to our CEO. Our CEO is passionate about charity and intends to order a batch of Al products with different functions to donate to nursing homes and shospitals. When are you available to discuss?" Brandon was thrilled. "I'm available anytime. Just set the tand place. I'll go over immediately." He brought along the technical director and marketing director to meet them.

thousand The negotiation between both parties went very smoothly. They decided to decided to order ten Al products with different functions and prices, totaling over 4 million dollars. The news spread back to the company, and everyone was overjoyed.

This was significant not only because this was the first major order Donovan High-tech received, but also because the client was a rather influential large company. They gained recognition from such a large company, enabling them to have concrete achievements and confidence when they talked about it.

Brandon was happy. Louis, who secretly set up this business deal behind the scenes, was also thrilled.

He walked into a roadside restaurant and had dinner in a leisurely manner while scrolling through his Facebook feed.

Then, he saw a photo that Maria posted in the evening, which was taken at Dichester airport. The caption read, "The month-long study has ended. I'm preparing to go home. I miss my mom's cooking a lot." "Dichester?" he said to himself. Mr. Graham was supposed to go to Dichester tonight, but the weather forecast said there would be heavy rain in Dichester, so he canceled the trip. I wonder if Maria's flight from Dichester will be canceled too.

After thinking for a moment, he called Maria, but her phone was off.

Chapter 276 He opened the weather forecastagain and checked the weather in Dichester.

ΤΟ +5 It was over nine o'clock in the evening. Dichester had experienced strong winds and heavy rain in the early evening, which had only stopped an hour ago.

The only flight to Kitmore City tonight was delayed for more than two hours. It only took off over ten minutes ago.

"With Maria's personality, unless there's a special situation, she definitely won't trouble her family to pick her up," Louis said. "By the tshe arrives at Kitmore City Airport, it'll definitely be past midnight. The subway will be closed, the airport shuttle doesn't go near her place, and I taxis are hard to find. Even if she finds one, it's not safe for a girl like her to take a taxi halone. I'd better inform the Donovan family and ask them to pick her up." Just as he was about to make the call, he felt conflicted again..

"Who should I inform? Wesley and his wife are getting on in years. I can't ask them to go to the airport to pick up Maria after they're done dealing with things at the restaurant. Jaden is in Oxhorn Village. Brandon is hosting a dinner for a major client tonight. Zayn is filming. Alaric has gone to take part in a tennis match. Arthur is free, but he usually stays until the restaurant closes, and the airport is so far from there... Should I contact Miss Donovan? If Mr. Graham finds out, I won't be the most popular person in the CEO's office anymore. finishing his meal.

While waiting for Louis, she watched a romance on her phone. At this moment, a stylishly dre dressed young couple walked out of the airport, embracing each other, and stood next to her.

The young man looked around and said impatiently to his entourage, "It's so late. Why isn't the car here yet? Call them now and find out where they are." he noticed Maria sitting on her suitcase and said with a sense of exaggeration, "Wow, this is the first tI've seen someone sitting on a suitcase. Can a suitcase actually seat people? Could it be that she is posing for a video?" Maria heard this person's voice and looked up.
