Chapter 1703


    Noticing that Gary was more ted than upset, both Jack and Wayne thought that their boss might


    have gotten his brain fried.


    Yet, they did not dare to utter a word, and so, they turned around and prepared for ss.


    Very soon, after school, Ms. Emerson strolled into the ss.


    " Nicole, please stay back for a bit." After everyone had left, Nicole walked up to the teacher.


    "Ms. Emerson, is there anything that mattered?" 1 Ms. Emerson then proceeded to ask her in a tone of


    surprise and excitement.


    "I heard that you''re aputer whiz?" She had only heard from the teacher in charge of the training


    talking about Nicole when school was almost over.


    She totally did not expect Nicole to stump Ryder! Seeing that Ms. Emerson had already discovered the


    truth, Nicole decided that she had no reason to hide it either.


    ''''Yes. I used to even enjoy it back then." Ms. Emerson was ted.


    "Why didn''t you say so earlier? I thought you were just there to make up the numbers.


    I can finally be relieved about this!" ‘Nicole is amazing and she brings nothing but glory to the ss, ''


    Ms. Emerson thought.


    "I totally did not expect you to be an expert.


    If you need any help, you must tell me, okay?" "Got it, Ms. Emerson." Nicole nodded in reply.


    Before leaving, Ms. Emerson did not forget to add, "Oh right, Ryder''s teacher was rather unhappy with


    you in the teacher''s office today.


    Let me know if he gives you grief." Ms. Emerson was no longer the trainee teacher whom she once


    was.


    Both the head teacher and the principal held her in high regard, and thus, she was not afraid of anyone


    and would not allow anyone to bully Nicole.


    Nicole felt a surge of warmth upon hearing that.


    "Don''t worry, Ms. Emerson." After that, Nicole bade Ms. Emerson goodbye and walked out of the ss.


    As the production crew had not gotten to the bottom of the matter, Nicole did not need to show up for


    filming today, and so, she nned to go home early.


    But as she walked out of school, she ran into an unexpected figure.


    "Ike, what are you doing here?" she asked in surprise.


    ‘And he is even waiting for me outside of the school''s entrance?’ Ike smiled at Nicole.


    "Didn''t you agree to bring me to the press conference of the manned flying car''sunch?" Nicole was


    taken aback.


    "The press conference hasn''t even been scheduled yet." This was a coboration with Jared, and the


    press conference was under Jared''s purview.


    If the press conference was to take ce, he would have informed her in advance.


    Ike raised his eyebrow.


    "You don''t know? It''s set for three dayster.


    But you''ve been so busy at school that I wonder if you even have time to go there.” Nicole frowned


    slightly.


    ''Yeah, I might not have the time to go there.’ "So, how about you show me a glimpse of your


    masterpiece.


    If you don''t mind, you can take me to the factory or something for a visit.


    "W Nicole stared at Ike and suddenly fell silent.


    Ike was slightly surprised.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    "What''s the matter? Is it confidential? If it''s too troublesome...


    forget about it then.” Seeing that Ike looked a little disappointed, and knowing that he was very


    passionate about inventions, she could only agree.


    " Come, let''s go.


    It''s nothing anyway." Coincidentally, she had not visited the base after Jared hadpleted it.


    She also nned to ask him why she was not informed of when the announcement date was set.


    After that, she got into Ike''s car, and the two headed to the address Jared had left her.


    Soon, the two arrived at the base.


    Nicole did not anticipate that Jared had actually built such a magnificent factory for Kelly and the


    others.


    Still, the manned flying car now had an Al installed and would undergo mass production after it had


    beenunched.


    A factory of this size was indeed necessary, or else, it would be toote for any expansions when the


    time came.


    "I totally did not foresee the scale of your development to be so much bigger than what Mr. Scott had."


    Ikemented, his eyes green with envy.


    "I wish to work at a ce like this too." Nicole shot him a nce.


    "Well, you''re shutting down your workshop, then?" Ike then sniggered.


    "I can just move my workshop over here with me, can''t I?" Nicole raised her eyebrow.


    "Dream on." As the two conversed, they arrived at the entrance.


    After dering her identity, Nicole brought Ike into the ce.


    Soon, Kelly got the news of them arriving, and proceeded to greet her.


    Seeing that Nicole had brought someone else into the premise, she was slightly taken aback, and


    when she saw that it was Ike, she immediately rushed forward.


    "Nicole, why did you bring him here?" Nicole raised her eyebrow.


    "He wanted to see the final product of the flying passenger car.” Kelly pouted a little as she came up to


    Nicole''s side and whispered, "Nicole, we are no longer working with Mr. Harmon already.


    Won''t he return and leak this to himter?" Nicole raised her eyebrow.


    "Nah, don''t worry.


    No one can steal our tech." Ike wore an awkward look on his face.


    "I can hear what you two were whispering about, you know.


    Nicole, however, calmly turned around and said, "She has the right to be suspicious.


    You''re after all still coborating with Mr. Harmon." Tke was helpless.


    "But we are friends, right? And since you guys already have the lead, what are you afraid of?" Kelly


    was taken aback.


    "He... has a point..." In any case, with the progress of science and technology, anything would be


    developed eventually, so it the question of who could develop it first was far more important.


    Nicole darted her eyes at Kelly.


    "You''re convinced now?" It was only then that Kelly realized that Nicole was concerned that she would


    worry too much about this, so she quickly said.


    "I... actually do not have an opinion on this.


    If you want to bring him inside, juste on in, Nicole." She believed that Ike and Nicole were friends,


    and so, he would not backstab her.


    Ike''s eyes immediately lit up as he looked at Nicole.


    ''''See, she agreed." Nicole gave him a nce and a coy smile in response.


    "Let''s go." Ike nodded and excitedly followed Nicole into the factory grounds.


    Seeing that Ike was like a child who had been given candy, she did not mind hispany, as he was


    indeed a tech enthusiast.


    Soon, the two came to the manned flying car''s testing department, where Terry was already in the final


    stages of testing.


    Unlike the previous ones, the current test were mainly improvements of some minute features, as there


    were no longer any major issues.


    The manned flying car was rising into the air repeatedly and entering the test track through the ss,


    and when Ike saw the Al system at work, he could not help but be amazed.


    "Goodness.


    Although I''ve fantasized about how it would have looked like, it is another thing to see it with my own


    eyes.


    Nicole, did you develop that AI system yourself?" Nicole shook her head.


    "No, I got it from a friend." Carl''s family and the Curley Corporation''s joint technology was no pushover


    after all.


    "Yes, this is really good.


    It is already difficult enough to build a manned flying car, but I totally did not expect you to install an AI


    system into it.


    This is likepleting two research projects at once.


    If this is revealed, you''ll be winning awards." However, she shook her head.


    "I''m not interested in all of that.


    The awards that wille with this research will all go to Terry." She was already a high-profile figure


    already, and she just wanted to be a student in peace.


    “Huh? What the heck? Why didn''t you ask me toe along?"
