The Invincible Arthur Gardner

Chapter 97 - Collaborating to Make Progress

"Good morning, everyone!" Arthur said, striding towards the chair he was to occupy.

The five people in front of him greeted him in unison with a salute. Arthur could see the five people he

had chosen to finance their business idea. These included Sylvia, Fan Tian, and three other

individuals.

"Please, take a seat," Arthur said, his dignified manner belying his young age of only 25. Five people

followed, taking their seats nervously and facing Arthur with apprehension.

Arthur seated himself in the comfortable executive chair, his face retaining its serene and amiable

expression. A moment of silence descended as Edna, standing to his left, busied herself with the

necessary items for the upcoming interview. Finally, she took her seat in the chair to Arthur's left.

"Thank you for joining us today. To create a more familiar atmosphere and to get to know one another

better, let us introduce ourselves once more."

Arthur rose to his feet, his face composed and a thin smile lifting the atmosphere of the room.

"Allow me to introduce myself," he said. "My name is Arthur Gardner and I own a hundred percent of

this company. I have arranged for each of you to have a room, a team, and all the resources you need

to make our mutual endeavors a success."

Everyone in the room then clapped lightly, smiles slowly appearing on their faces as a feeling of relief

spread through the room. Arthur's friendly and humble ascetic had put them all at ease.

"She is Edna," Arthur continued, gesturing to Edna standing beside him with a warm smile.

"Hi, everyone," Edna said, waving her hand. "I'm the personal assistant of Boss Arthur. If there's

anything you need or if you'd like to make an appointment with the Big Boss, please feel free to

communicate with me," she said kindly, her friendliness and ease eliciting a smile from everyone.

"I hope you can all relax and get to know each other better," Edna continued. "Our big boss prefers a

warm and friendly atmosphere in the room, he's no dictator, so feel free to speak your mind. Alright?"

Everyone in the room nodded, feeling more at ease after hearing her words.

"Boss Arthur is certainly wise," one of them thought to himself, admiring the fact that even his personal

assistant had the courage to openly praise him in his presence. It was evident that Arthur was a very

approachable person who wanted to foster good relationships with those who worked for him.

Sylvia closed her eyes for a moment, savoring the elation that was bubbling up inside her. "I really like

this place, and Mr. Gardner and Ms. Edna are so friendly," she thought to herself, determined to do her

best to not let them down.

Fan Tian, who was seated between them, felt a wave of appreciation wash over him as he was treated

with respect by the esteemed Arthur—a high-ranking and wealthy individual. Arthur truly understood

the magnitude of Fan Tian's discovery, and Fan Tian was moved. He vowed to dedicate the rest of his

life to perfecting his invention. "I am truly grateful," he said.

"Please introduce yourselves," Arthur said.

perfect face, which was a mix of seriousness, professionalism, and beauty that captivated anyone who

looked upon it.

She began to speak, "Hi, my name is Sylvia. I would like to express my deepest gratitude for what Mr.

Gardner has done for all of us, especially for me. I never expected that my ideas, which others

considered crazy and nonsensical, would be met with such an open-mindedness from Mr. Gardner. He

was even willing to consider them..."

Sylvia paused for a moment and lowered her gaze, taking a slow, deep breath. She was deeply moved,

her strong and determined nature overwhelmed by the joy of knowing Arthur. She couldn't stop the

tears of happiness, and as they started to roll down her cheeks, she quickly grabbed a tissue from the

table and wiped her face in an attempt to regain her composure.

Holding back her emotions, she looked up at Arthur and said, “I want to thank you again, Mr. Gardner,

for all the opportunities you have given me. I will work hard to not disappoint someone who has helped

me to pursue my dreams and goals.”

Sylvia then smiled, bowed briefly, and sat back down. Her humble gesture was met with a round of

applause from everyone in the room.

After that, the introductions continued with Fan Tian, the creator of Artificial Intelligence technology.

Despite his typically quiet demeanor, he was able to express his gratitude to Arthur.

The other three people followed, each introducing their own business ideas.

The third business idea was battery technology that could last three times longer than the existing

models.

"Incredible!" Arthur exclaimed. "Given the advancements in technology up to now, I think battery

technology hasn't progressed quickly enough. I understand that this technology requires a lot of

resources and is costly, but I believe it will make a huge difference in the future."

Everyone in the room smiled in agreement.

The fourth proposal was for a business venture to develop a comprehensive security system that

leverages cameras to detect human behavior and provide data about whether the person is likely to

commit a crime or not. This technology was similar to what Fan Tian created, based on Artificial

Intelligence.

Arthur was truly grateful that he had recruited two geniuses in technology with the same background as

Fan Tian, providing him with a reliable team he could count on.

The fifth business idea was technology to maximize the potential of waste recycling to create products

that could be utilized more effectively. For example, using waste to create fuel, building materials, and

other useful items.

"Alright!" Arthur replied, clapping his hands lightly. "I'm confident that many issues can be resolved if

we can manage waste more efficiently, so I will back this idea until it's complete. My dream is to have a

self-sustaining city where all waste is managed and optimally utilized." His passionate and enthusiastic

response left everyone in awe of his charisma.

"Thank you all for introducing yourselves," Arthur said. "I'm confident that you are all hardworking and

independent employees. After this, Edna will show you the room you'll be working in.”

Arthur glanced around the room, and he was pleased to see the enthusiasm in every person's eyes. He

knew that he had made the right choice in hiring these people to help him build his business empire.

"And after this," Arthur continued, "I will have individual conversations with each of you to go over the

details of the business we will develop together. To start, I'd like to talk to Mr. Fan Tian."

Hearing his name, Fan Tian stood up promptly and nodded. "Yes, Mr. Gardner," he affirmed.

"Okay, I'll see you guys later," Arthur said as he strode away, followed by Fan Tian.

Edna, who was left in the room, clapped her hands once, rousing the remaining people from their

dreamy state.

"I know you're all eager to find out which room you'll be working in," she said kindly. "Now, follow me.”
