Chapter 348 There is a Meeting
Natalie's message temporarily quelled everyone's desire for her return to the big screen.
After all, Natalie didn't rely on the entertainment industry for a living; she certainly had the right to make her own choices.
This buzz quickly died down.
Natalie thought it was just talk, but early the next morning, before she even woke up, Starshadow automatically adjusted the room to daytime mode.
When she finally opened her eyes, bright sunlight streamed in through the windows, gradually warming her face.
Natalie stretched and poked Starshadow.
"You got it wrong, I'm not getting up."
Starshadow nuzzled her forehead.
"Someone's waiting for you, they won't let you sleep in!"
Natalie had no choice; her sleepiness was chased away, and she could only get up slowly.
By the time she was ready, twenty minutes had already passed.
She chose a new season's casual dress, an extremely gentle light beige color, not too long or too short, just at the knee, making her look youthful and radiant.
The people outside were already getting impatient, and Victor had checked his watch countless times.
As soon as she stepped out, Victor pulled her along.
"We need to go to the company today; everyone is waiting for you."
Natalie stared at him in surprise. Today?
When was this decided?
Victor, knowing her confusion, explained, "It's just in time for the shareholders' meeting. Some people have been eyeing your position for a long time. If you make an appearance, it'll shut down their ambitions."
Natalie immediately understood, so that was how it was.
Clark Group.
In the top-floor conference room, everyone sat upright, the atmosphere solemn and serious.
Natalie had experienced such occasions more than once, so she was used to it.
When she followed Victor in, many people's gazes turned to her with complex expressions; some were relieved, while others remained indifferent.
But the moment she walked in, applause gradually filled the conference room.
This was her first company meeting since her escape, and some faces were still familiar, while others seemed strange.
"Welcome back, Ms. Clark."
Natalie smiled, greeted everyone, and sat next to Victor.
The meeting began. In some ways, Victor was very much like Gabriel; when handling business and dealing with strangers, he was always stern and serious.
She sat there listening to the reports, disputes, or sarcastic remarks from below, her face covered with a layer of coldness.
Natalie roughly understood that Mylan's business tycoon had a major project involving domestic and international artificial intelligence.
This business tycoon was named Robert Williams. His name had never appeared on the Forbes list, and he was very mysterious; no one knew exactly how much wealth he had, but his name was always well-known in the business world.
Currently, countries were developing artificial intelligence independently, competing secretly, but there hadn't been a systematic network-like integration.
The various aspects of dispersed artificial intelligence, whether in scientific research, medicine, or home life, each have their own advantages, but no single company had been able to cover all fields and dominate.
Robert aimed to break this barrier, so countless companies in the industry wanted to become his partners and lead the cross-century industry.
Some small companies didn't have any competitive advantage; the real partners were still at the top of the resource-rich pyramid.
Clark Group highly valued this cooperation and had sent many friendly messages first, but Robert had not responded.
Clark Group's shareholder Joe Nelson wanted to push his son Billy Nelson to establish himself in Clark Group.
So, Joe wanted to hand over this cooperation project to Billy, which sparked a lot of opposition.
Everyone was talking, not giving an inch.
"How can you give such an important task to your son for practice? Are you out of your mind?"
"Even if the deal goes through, it's because Robert values Clark Group, not Billy. Isn't it too eager to take credit?"
"Billy is a department manager in our company; he does have some business skills."
