?Chapter 422:


    When Leo Foster, the technical director at Windsoul Robots, called Marissa “boss,” Joziah tensed up. He was worried that his negligence might reveal his boss’s identity.


    Marissa mentioned that revealing her identity could bring trouble and jeopardize Windsoul Robots’ future, including their ns for an initial public offering. Yet, Marissa handled the situation with grace, offering Leo a calm smile.


    Leo and Joziah, skilled technicians trained by Dr. Finley, were among the few at Windsoul Robots who knew Dr. Finley’s real identity. The rapport between Leo and Marissa was as strong as the one she shared with Joziah. With just one look, Leo caught on.


    Realizing his error, Leo kept his cool and smiled. “Mrs. Daniels, I heard you intend to invest in Windsoul Robots and have already spoken with Dr. Finley. Should I start calling you ‘boss’ now?”


    Marissa returned the smile and said, “It’s too early for that. We haven’t finalized the details of our cooperation, and it’s not certain I’ll be a shareholder.” Leo just shrugged, smiled, and dropped the topic. Joziah quietly sighed in relief as he watched Leo smoothly handle the situation.

    Connor then turned to Marissa and whispered, “Are you nning to invest in Windsoul Robots too?” Marissa answered casually, “The household robot market is booming. I see a lot of potential and think it will be profitable to get involved.”


    Connor didn’t dwell on it and led the technical team from Windsoul Robots on a tour of the Daniels Group facilities, with Maisea, Franco, and Derek tagging along.


    The tour began in a conference room where a senior executive from the Daniels Group showcased their research and development team and capabilities. After the presentation, Connor spoke privately with Joziah.


    “The Daniels Group is deeplymitted to household robot development. We n to invest significantly in this area in theing years to lead globally and shape the industry. With such ambitious goals, we need strong technical partners.


    Dr. Finley is a top expert in this field, and we’re eager to coborate with Windsoul Robots. It’s a pity Dr. Finley isn’t here today, but please pass on my regards, Mr. Aston. If Windsoul Robots is willing to partner with the Daniels Group, be ready to support you fully.”


    Connor’s genuine and polished manner made a good impression on Joziah. Joziah found speaking with him much more pleasant than with Aottric. After Connor’s speech, Joziah responded courteously, “You can count on it, Mr. Daniels. I’ll deliver your message to Dr. Finley.”


    “Thank you,” Connor replied gracefully. He then turned to Domenic and asked, “Is everything ready?”


    “Yes, Mr. Daniels,” Domenic replied.


    Connor nodded and then addressed Joziah, “Mr. Aston, I’ll now take you and your team to visit the Robotics Research and Development Department and the production workshop of the Daniels Group.”


    “Okay, thank you, Mr. Daniels!”


    Joziah was surprised that Connor personally escorted them on the tour, showing high regard for his team. He felt quite honored. Connor first led the Windsoul Robots team to Robotics Research and Development Department One, where he introduced Franco to Joziah.


    “Mr. Aston, meet Franco Brit, the Director of Robotics Research and Development Department One. If you have any questions about this department, Franco is the person to ask.”


    Franco had been eagerly anticipating this introduction. As soon as Connor finished his introduction, Franco quickly stepped forward, shook Joziah’s hand, and said, “Mr. Aston, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” Before Joziah could reply, Franco excitedly continued, “Mr. Aston, Dr. Finley is my idol. I am a huge, dedicated fan of hers!”


    While such a statement might seem tteringing from someone else, Franco’s genuine enthusiasm made it charming. Joziah smiled and said, “What a coincidence. I’m also a big fan of Dr. Finley.”


    “Haha!” Francoughed softly and said, “Mr. Aston, we’ve prepared a gift for Dr. Finley. Could you please give it to her?” Franco then pulled a small object from his pocket. The sight of it left everyone around him astonished
