GoodReadWas he talking to himself? Seeing everyone else replying with an acknowledgment, Dorothy quickly typed out her own and sent it.
The meeting lasted until one in the morning, but no one dared to yawn because the host was the President.

Relieved, Dorothy was about to turn off her camera and stretch when Everett suddenly added, "The person in charge of the new car technology project mentioned earlier, please come see me privately.” "Are you referring to Kenneth's project?" Kevin asked directly.
"Yep." "All right! Dorothy, please connect with Mr. Lopez privately.” Dorothy did not expect that surprise. Under everyone's watchful eyes, she quickly nodded, "Okay." After leaving the meeting room, she stared at Everett's personal account for several seconds, lacking the courage to request a connection.
She felt a little scared and awkward.
Earlier, she could hide behind the numerous employees in the meeting, but then, she had to talk to him one-on-one! Dorothy sincerely wished her computer would crash right at that moment.
The conflicting emotions really tortured her.
After standing up, sitting down, standing up, sitting down, repeating the cycle three times, Dorothy finally took a deep breath and sent a request.

He chose not to turn on his camera, so only his voice could be heard.
"| just took a look at Kenneth's project. The due diligence was insufficient, the mass production data is vague, and it's already starting to raise funds while still in the trial phase, which is high risk." Clearing her throat, Dorothy immediately switched to work mode, "There is indeed some risk, which | have noted in my report.
However, the majority of the project's patents have been approved by the state, which indirectly verifies its feasibility. | believe, after investment analysis, that if it passes for mass production, the return on investment will be quite significant.” "But if it fails during the conceptual phase, all invested funds will be lost." "That won't happen! Mr. Nelson told me they have already produced an actual vehicle, and not just the concept car video. And he himself is very confident in this model. He seems to have everything under control.” "Dorothy Sanchez." Everett suddenly called her by her full name, "This is work. What the company needs is a quantifiable risk reduction, not just the investor's confidence.” Dorothy lowered her head, speechless.
Indeed, she had a habit of judging the risk of a project based on her impression of a person.
"Also, what is your relationship with him?" Everett's voice was deep, with a gravelly quality, as if he were interrogating her.
She lifted her head abruptly, hurriedly explaining, "We're just friends! The time at the hospital..." "You give this project to Kevin later. Projects introduced by employees like you cannot be handled by you personally, as it's necessary to avoid suspicion.” Everett didn't let her explain but interrupted her in a businesslike manner, "Regardless of your relationship, based on what you just said, | think you're no longer able to assess the feasibility of this project correctly.” "Oh, okay, | get it." So, he only wanted to talk about work and didn't want her to explain.
