Zach could not believe how petty Ariel was and how Chad was just letting her do all these things.
“I’ll see you around, Mr. Quinton.” Nancy decided to give up meeting Faye Technologies‘ representative that day. She gave Zach a nod and walked away elegantly.
Her pride wouldn’t allow her to yield to Ariel’s devious plan to humiliate her.
Zach stared at Nancy’s receding figure for a while. Then, he looked up at Faye Technologies‘ building. He was not even invited to the higher floors today.
Zach wanted to just leave and keep Faye Technologies out of his sight for good. However, he couldn’t possibly do that. If Zach failed to secure the patent license, It would be equivalent to him choosing to withdraw from the market instead.
Zach had a grim look on his face at the thought of that.
Nancy did not stay at Faye Technologies‘ building for too long. She knew very well that Chad must have refused to meet her because Ariel had made him do that. It would be pointless for her to waste her time waiting there,
However, Veyo Solutions might fall behind its competitors and risk being eliminated for good if Nancy failed to obtain the rights to use Faye Technologies‘ new flight control system.
Frankly, Nancy was curious about how many seasoned, professional experts Faye Technologies had working for them.
Other than the extremely capable Chad, did they also have some secret, anonymous experts on their team? After all, regular engineers wouldn’t be capable of developing and making something like their new flight control system.
After she got into the car, Nancy cast a glance at Faye Technologies‘ building. She had an icy look in her eyes.
Eventually, she called Jayson.
It took a while before he picked up the phone.
Nancy placed her palm against her forehead as she said wearily, “Jayson, Mr. Hockney refused to meet me. Their staff told me to make an appointment with Ariel, but I figured she probably wouldn’t meet me anyway. She’d probably just make me wait around for her.”
She couldn’t stand how petty the Faye Technologies team was.
Jayson replied flatly, “I see. You should head back first, then.”
Nancy pursed her lips. “About the flight control system… I seriously don’t think I can do anything about it.”
The Faye Technologies team was clearly prejudiced against her. As long as Ariel was with them, Nancy could not see any chance of them resolving this situation.
Jayson did not seem too surprised to hear that. After listening to Nancy’s concerns, he said in a deep voice, “We’ll try and think of something else.”
Ariel and Chad learned about what happened in the lobby after Laura returned and reported it to them.

Chapter 348
+25 BONUS
Ariel looked at Laura with widened eyes.
Meanwhile, Chad chuckled. “Ms. Dickens, you’re so quick–witted! I must make sure you receive your bonus for this year.”
They could imagine how irked and exasperated Nancy was having been asked to make an appointment with Ariel instead.
Ariel shook her head and chuckled softly.
Truthfully, she was not deliberately trying to shun Zach or Nancy.
However, Faye Technologies had received many visitors so far. While they had absolute say about who they could give the patent license to, Ariel had no intention of keeping the technology all to themselves or just to a few people.
Technological advancement could help empower their country’s defense sector. It would bring about numerous benefits if they could use or apply the new flight control system that Ariel made for various purposes.
By supporting and encouraging technological advancement in their country, they would also be able to improve their country’s economy and tech industry.
Ariel planned on selling their patent technology to the other companies.
She knew she had more to offer besides this new flight control system. Perhaps the system could help generate a major development in their industry. However, Ariel knew very well that she would be working on developing more advanced tools or technology.
It would not affect their company in the slightest, even if they started selling the patent license. On the contrary, they would benefit a lot from doing that.
Faye Technologies might become well recognized locally or even internationally. Moreover, they would be helping their country’s tech sector grow.
Furthermore, Faye Technologies could receive as much as a billion dollars annually just by selling the patent license.
Except for a handful of tech companies that could compete against Faye Technologies, most businesses and companies specializing in drone technology and the aviation industry would be using Faye Technologies‘ new flight control system.
Nevertheless, Faye Technologies would still keep its trump card or trade secrets to itself. By doing that, they would be able to remain a trailblazer in this field for a long, long time.
Around noon, Ariel received Colton’s phone call yet again.
