Jack’s statement was highly ambiguous. Julia's face fell. She hadn't expected Jack to bring Alice to this dinner, let
alone act so familiar with her in public. Didnt he care about her feelings? Everyone assumed they were a couple.
Alice looked at Jack. Didn't he know this was misleading? Who was “his person“?
Jack ignored her, pulling out a chair for Alice before sitting next to her. Alice noticed that was Julia’s seat. Didn't
he see?
The atmosphere bectense. Rumors circulated about Jack protecting a girl; was it the streamer Lemon
Sweet?
Julia was ignored. She said, “Jack, we're discussing the new Al project. Miss Windham wouldn't understand; she'd
be bored.”
The young man added, “Yeah, what would a streamer know about this?” This was condescending. Julia moved;
people immediately made room for her.
Someone changed the subject.”Maple Leaf won the bid, with the best technology and funding. The product will
dominate the market.”

“Thanks to Mr. Wilson's excellent judgment. My family didn’t believe in the project, but we were proven wrong.
Alice listened to the discussion about the Al project's potential. Once the product launched, Maple Leaf’s value
would double, and her inctoo.
Julia said subtly to Alice, “If you're bored, you can leave. No one will mind. Alice replied indifferently, “It's
alright.”
The young man said, “So the streamer is interested in the Al project. What are your thoughts?” Alice shook her
head. “Nothing yet. It was still early; talking about the future was boasting. The young man laughed
sarcastically.“Streamer, you can ask if you don’t understand. No need to pretend.”
The atmosphere soured. Julia pretended to drink, her eyes cold. She wanted Alice to see the difference in their
social circles.
Jack’s expression changed. Before he could speak, Alice chuckled.
The
young man stared at Alice. The streamer is laughing? Is pretending to understand funny?” “It is.” Alice looked at
him calmly.“You got the nof Maple Leaf’s new system wrong. And the performance specs you mentioned are
from the previous version.”
“That's impossible! A streamer wouldn't know this. Did you steal information from Mr. Wilson's computer?” The
young man looked at Julia, wanting to save face.
Julia said, “Jack, you should be more careful. Even if you care about Miss Windham, there are limits. The
competition is fierce. If Miss Windham leaks information...”
The young man agreed.“Don’t let a woman affect your work. This isn’t like you, Mr. Wilson.” Jack scanned the
room. “You all wanted to meet the Al project’s chief engineer? | brought her.” Silence. Julia stared at Alice,
incredulous.

The young man exclaimed, “Mr. Wilson, you mean this streamer?”
Jack nodded.“Yes.”
“That's impossible! Are you joking?““A streamer? She’s good at gaming, but how could she be the chief
engineer?”
Jack tapped the table, his gaze sweeping the room. He said, “Do you think I'd joke about this?”
Their faces changed. Jack wasn’t the type to joke, but a young female chief engineer was unbelievable.

The young man asked, “Mr. Wilson, this is unbelievable. She doesn’t look like the chief engineer.” Who would
believe this? Jack probably promoted her to appease a woman.
Jack looked at him.“You judge by appearances, which is why women swindled you.” Everyone teased him. The
young man, blushing, retorted, “That's different. | was tricked. This looks the same; we're investing with you. If
you get scammed, our investments are gone!” Alice looked at Jack; he seemed angry. She knew, apart from her
colleagues, no one would believe her. It was normal.
Jack’s expression was cold. He tapped the table.“Then the cooperation is terminated.” Julia said quickly, “Jack,
don’t be angry. It’s hard to believe. We've been friends for years. Let's make money together. No need for this.”
Jack looked at Julia.“ didn’t invite you.”
Julia's face fell. “We're friends. Can't | come?”
Alice was surprised. Was Jack defending her?
The young man cto Alice with a glass. “Streamer, you're amazing! You're good with men and code! I'm
impressed.”

Alice looked the glass.“At least | don’t pretend to know things I don’t.” Julia tried to smooth things over.“Miss
Windham, it's a small matter. Give us sface.” Alice said coldly, “Why should | give you face? Are we close?”
