Chapter 1112: Chapter 516: Returning from the Grand Dream (6)

Now Edward has become a successful person. The watch he is wearing complements Abigail’s Patek Philippe beautifully.

The elite vibe starts with the watch.

Lawrence quietly shifts his gaze and begins eating dinner.

Edward is quite chatty, and his presence ensures there wouldn’t be any dull moments.

He eats while continuing to engage in conversation with Kenneth and Abigail.

"Mr. Osborne, how is your legal case going? You’ve been working overtime day after day, it should be nearing completion, right?"

Kenneth nods, "Not bad, we’ve got some leads. I’m double-checking some records, and once everything is organized, I’ll hand it over to Attorney Henderson."

Abigail also praises Kenneth: "Mr. Osborne is indeed a leader in the AI industry and the pride of the Chinese community! I will do my utmost to help Mr. Osborne win this case!"

Edward quickly raises his glass: "Then I’ll borrow your flower to pay homage to the Buddha and toast to Mr. Osborne and Attorney Henderson! May your cooperation be successful!"

Kenneth and Abigail clink glasses with him.

Then they start discussing the application and prospects of artificial intelligence.

This is Kenneth’s area of expertise, and he begins speaking eloquently.

"AI has already been applied in many manufacturing factories. The next step is to replace all assembly line workers and achieve full AI operations in large manufacturing plants."

"These are really just basic AI applications. AI that can truly rival the human brain is still in its infancy. Now every country is increasing investment in AI, hoping to become the Prometheus that breaks through the early stages."

"Our company’s new project code name is, ’Prometheus.’"

"Why is it called Prometheus?" Edward asks curiously.

Kenneth smiles and says, "In Greek mythology, Prometheus and the goddess Athena created humans. Prometheus created the human body, and the goddess Athena infused it with a soul. Moreover, Prometheus brought fire and light to humanity during the dark ages. So, we chose ’Prometheus’ to name our project, hoping it will be the pioneer that brings light to AI."

Lawrence then puts down his chopsticks and leisurely says, "...But Prometheus didn’t end well. He brought fire and light to humanity but was chained to a cliff by Zeus and endured the pain of having his liver pecked by an eagle every day, year after year. Are you sure you want to be the Prometheus of AI?"

Kenneth: "..."

Edward immediately changes his stance, praising Lawrence: "Lawrence made a great point! Thinking too far ahead! We Chinese, we especially value good omens! Mr. Osborne, not to criticize, but your ’Prometheus’ plan isn’t too auspicious, maybe you should change the name!"

Abigail and Mrs. Foster exchange a glance but remain silent, curiously watching the undercurrents among the three.

Kenneth chuckles lightly, "Yes, Lawrence the Great Heavenly Master is right, how about you give our project a new name for good luck?"

Lawrence: "..."

She curled her lips, "Naming, huh? Sure, but my fee is quite high. Mr. Osborne, if you value me, you can contact my secretary."

Kenneth raises an eyebrow and glances at her, "Lawrence the Great Heavenly Master has finally found a secretary?"

"Yes, the job advertisement is already out, and I’ve temporarily found a temporary secretary to get by." Lawrence boasts shamelessly, though no ads are actually out.

Kenneth nods, "Okay, then I’ll queue up first. When Lawrence the Great Heavenly Master has time, think up a good name for our project. As for money, it’s not a problem."

Lawrence finally laughs.

Talking about money always brings joy.

Having a client who doesn’t haggle and is always trying to cut prices is even more delightful, worth celebrating.

...

After dinner, everyone heads to the backyard terrace to enjoy the mountain views while chatting and digesting the meal.

During the tension of the past few days’ competition, Kenneth didn’t show up at all.

It was only today that he came to see Lawrence.

Of course, he didn’t say that outright; he used discussing the legal case with Abigail as a pretext.

Meanwhile, Edward receives a call from some local buddies, asking if he wants to go out to the club tonight.

During the past few days when Lawrence was nervous about the competition, Edward went out on his own to have fun.

Today, Lawrence came back so early, he naturally doesn’t want to go out.

But those pals are also business partners, so he has to appease them. He takes his phone and walks to the end of the lawn, near the edge of the forest, to keep talking to them, hoping to dismiss them quickly.
