Chapter 14: Emily’s quest for Dr.Turner

(Emily's quest for Dr.Turner)

"Don't answer too fast, and yes, I graduated college when I was 16 years old. I promise that I will not betray you. How about I make you my partner in business to gain your trust?

You can think through this. I just think that a mind like yours is just a waste to just retire. You can inspect my company first before deciding, and I promise I will help you get your dreams come true. If you also want to get revenge on those who betrayed you, I will help you too. This is my number," Emily assured the old man while giving her calling card.

 

The old man sees the eyes of the girl in front of him glowing with sincerity; he really appreciates the offer, but he is too disappointed that he doesn't know if he can trust anyone now. But deep down, the love of science is there, and he saw the confidence of the girl, and it was her charm to trust her because of her confidence.

 

But the young girl is so bright and nice, and he doesn't have the heart to turn her down. "Well, nothing will be lost if he just looks at her company, and he has a feeling that the girl in front of him will be an amazing lady someday," the old man thought to himself.

 

He gets the calling card and smiles at Emily.

"Sure, I will think this through, and I will surely go to your company to check," the old man replied.

 

They talk for a while about the old man's ideas and Emily's ideas before saying goodbye to each other. The old man looked at Emily's back, smiled, and thought that the girl was nice and had a brilliant mind. Little did he know that in the future

Their partnership not only led to groundbreaking innovations throughout the world but also forged an unlikely friendship between the dynamic tech entrepreneur and the eccentric scientist, proving that sometimes extraordinary opportunities emerge from chance encounters on a jogging path.

 

Emily decides to go back home, take a shower, and go to her company. She needs to tell Ethan about Dr. Turner and a plan to make Dr. Turner join their company. She can't wait to tell Ethan how smart and amazing Dr. Turner is.

After a shower, she goes directly to her office, where she meets Ethan and tells him about the encounter with Dr. Turner.

 

"What do you think of him? "Emily excitedly asks.

 

Ethan, sitting chill in his office, observed Emily with amusement, much like a child witnessing their favorite cartoon character. Emily was animatedly sharing her encounter with the old man and expressing her amazement at him.

 

"Well, you just met him in an unusual way, and you suddenly asked him to join the company, and you even asked him to be a partner.

Are you not worried? You didn't even do any research on him! "Ethan expressed his concern with a disappointed expression. Ethan couldn't help but worry about the impulsive decisions of the girl in front of him.

 

Ethan looks at Emily, shaking his head, as she expresses her admiration for the scientist. Concerned about Emily's impulsive decision, he decides to conduct research on Dr. Turner to assess if it's worth bringing him into the company. Ethan opens his computer and begins looking up information on Dr. Turner.

 

"Okay, he is 54 years old and has never been married. Pssh, what a loner," Ethan smugly said. Emily rolled her eyes.

 

"He got two doctorates from a nice school, has never been arrested, and has been working for Sunrise Company since he graduated, but not anymore," Ethan said while reading on his computer.

"He seems not to get more credit for what he did; he has many achievements, but his last company did not give importance to his knowledge. What a pity," Ethan said.

 

"I know right, he is really smart. If we have him in the company, for sure he will be a great asset for us, and he is nice, so we need a plan to convince him to join our company," Emily replied to Ethan.

 

Ethan gathers information on Dr. Turner, discovering his impressive educational background and achievements. Despite initial skepticism about his personal life, Ethan acknowledges Dr. Turner's intelligence and potential as a valuable asset for their company. Emily, convinced of Dr. Turner's brilliance, joins Ethan in planning how to persuade the scientist to join their venture. Together, they strategize on presenting the opportunity to Dr. Turner in a way that aligns with his goals and interests.

 

"Ok, let's do that. We will show our ideas and future ideas. I'm sure he will get interested in this. And by the way, tonight there's a competition. Are you going to join? "Ethan asks Emily.

 

"Of course, I need to train myself, and this competition is really great to test my skills. How about you? "Emily replied to Ethan.

 

"No, I'm not going to join. I'm so busy. There's a lot of work that I need to do here. Good luck in your game," Ethan replied to Emily.
