Kevin gave a detailed report on the due diligence of Genesis Creations Inc, covering all aspects from finances, future development, to shareholder changes. He really did his homework on it.
He also analyzed the prospects of all the current technological developments.
Suddenly, Dorothy heard her name being mentioned.
"Dorothy recently proposed a tech project about new cars to the Prosperity Consortium. It's now under review by the headquarters. | took a look at it, and if it's legitimate, it might just be what we need right now." The speaker was the investment director, a big shot in the Lopez Corporation.

It's a project by several university professors, led by a man named Kenneth. He holds quite a few patents and is definitely a talent.” Dorothy had a weird feeling that Everett stiffened up a bit when Kevin mentioned Kenneth, but he quickly returned to normal.
The meeting went on.
Dorothy didn't have much say in such an important meeting, so she just kept her head down and took notes.
Almost ten at night, and the meeting showed no signs of ending. However, she began to feel her stomach acting up.
If only she had eaten something earlier! She couldn't have possibly started eating in front of the camera.
Dorothy clenched her fists, trying to suppress the discomfort, but it only got worse, and she even started to sweat.
Karen, who was supposed to be out for dinner, hadn't returned yet. She must've gone on a date with some hot guy. There was no one else in the house who could have handed her some stomach medicine.
Gradually, she was sweating more, and the stomach pain was so intense that she almost lost her hearing.
Suddenly, Everett's voice rang out.
"Meeting adjourned for 30 minutes." Dorothy was relieved. She didn't even bother to turn off the camera before scrambling to find her stomach medicine.

Seeing Dorothy with the stomach medicine and a glass of water, he walked over with the cakes in his hand, "Hungry, huh? You'll feel worse if you take the medicine on an empty stomach. Eat something first, then take the medicine. I'll get you some warm water." Karen quickly chimed in, "My brother is always so thoughtful. Dorothy, go back to your room. He'll bring it to you." Because her stomach was hurting so badly, Dorothy didn't put up any resistance and obediently went back to her room.
She saw that everyone had left the meeting screen, and Everett's camera was off.
She forced a few bites of the cake, and soon Kenneth knocked on the door, water in hand, "Dorothy, can | come in?" "Sure." Dorothy looked up, gratefully accepting the water from him. "Thank you for getting me food as well." "Don't mention it. | figured you'd still need to eat even if you're working late. If Karen hadn't insisted on buying some clothes, we could've come back earlier. I'll ask her to stock up on some food, so you'll have something to eat when you're working late." Kenneth's voice was always so gentle and warm like he was incapable of getting angry.
Dorothy drank the warm water, ate some food, and took the medicine. Her stomach pain soon subsided.
Half an hour later, the meeting resumed.
Everett's handsome face reappeared on the screen. He frowned, seemingly displeased.
"From now on, everyone should eat dinner before attending evening meetings."
