Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

A few days later.

During breakfast, Charlie casually asked about Leo’s current situation.

Ben knew that Charlie was still concerned about Penelope and Leo.

However, the current situation of Leo… was a little confusing.

Ben couldn’t help but frown.

“What’s wrong with him? Just tell me. I can take it.” Charlie looked calm.

Leo was indeed a snob.

Before he started anything, he dared to say that he wanted to establish the second Storm Group.

Now, no matter what kind of trouble he made, Charlie was mentally prepared.

Ben pondered for a moment before he replied honestly, “He gave the company a new name, Infinite Technologies.”

“It’s about time.” Charlie took a bite of his food calmly.

“After that, he announced that after completing the order in his hand, Infinite Technologies would no longer manufacture electronic devices. He wants to take the… high–tech route,” Ben said hesitantly.

This operation was really a little confusing.

Originally, the company had an established operation chain..

Although many people cancelled the follow–up cooperation because they doubted Leo’s ability, as long as he finished the orders on hand, new ones would come by naturally.

However, Leo directly announced that he would no longer be engaged in electronic processing.

He even posted several factories on the Internet, ready to sell them.

Charlie felt that the food in his mouth turned a little bitter upon hearing that. He took a deep breath and asked, “What else did he do?”

Such a small matter was not enough to make Ben show such an expression.

Ben hesitated again.

Charlie exhaled slowly. “Go ahead!”

Thinking of what Leo had done, Ben couldn’t help rubbing his temples in pain, and then said, “For some reason, he spent a lot of money to poach a programmer named Marc Roy from a subsidiary of Storm Group.”

“A lot of money?” Charlie was a little curious..

Ben nodded. “Four million dollars of annual salary for him.”

Charlie asked, “Is this programmer very capable?”

Frowning, Ben said, “That’s where the problem lies. He’s just an ordinary programmer. Although his ability isn’t bad, he hasn’t even reached the standard to work in the headquarters. He can’t be considered as expert at all.”

Charlie felt his temples throb.

“Grandpa!” Susan quickly sat over and rubbed his temples. “Maybe Leo has other considerations. Don’t worry.”

Susan couldn’t help glancing at Ben in disapproval.

He knew that Charlie couldn’t stand listening to these things, but why did he still tell Charlie?

Ben felt a little helpless.

Even if he didn’t say it, Charlie would still find out about it through other means. At that time, no one would be around to explain things to him, and he would probably be even angrier.

Charlie took a deep breath and said, “Susan, help me call Leo.”

“Okay.” Susan took her phone and called Leo.

She put the phone on speaker mode and put it on the table.

The call was quickly picked up.

Charlie said angrily, “Leo, I heard that you spent four million dollars and found a

programmer. Isn’t four million dollars not money to you? What’s wrong with you?”

Hearing this, Leo was not angry at all. Instead, he was delighted. “Grandpa, did Ben tell you about this?”

Charlie frowned. “It doesn’t matter who told me that! Terminated the contract with that person immediately. Do you hear me?”

Leo couldn’t help laughing.

Originally, he was very nervous about hiring a seemingly ordinary employee with a high salary.

But now, his heart was completely at ease.

This programmer must be very important for Ben to ask his grandfather to get Leo terminate the contract.

“Haha, Ben. I won this time,” Leo thought.

Leo immediately smiled and said, “Grandpa, tell my brother, if he wants to keep talents, don’t just think about suppressing him. If he values Marc a little more, Marc wouldn’t be so happy to follow me.”

Speaking of this, Leo said proudly, “Tell Ben not to worry. In the future, I will take good care of Marc for him!”

With that, Leo hung up.

Charlie was no longer angry, but confused.

He looked at Ben and asked, “What is Leo talking about?”

Ben raised an eyebrow. “I don’t know either.”

Was Marc a talent?

Did he suppress Marc in the company?

Leo’s thinking process seemed to be quite unique.

“Is there really something special about Marc?” Charlie asked suspiciously.

Ben shook his head. “I’m not sure.”

Charlie sighed. “Forget it. Let’s observe for a while longer.”

Charlie was in a dilemma.

Ben and Leo were both his grandsons.

Although he doted on Ben a little more, he also hoped that Leo could live a good life.

Originally, with such a company, as long as Leo had a little ability, his life would not be too

bad.

But after what he had done, the future was really unknown for him.

After Leo hung up the phone, he looked ecstatic.

He looked at Isabella happily and said, “Isabella! Grandpa just called and said that I shouldn’t have hired Marc.”

Isabella smiled and said, “Ben is anxious, but he doesn’t want to expose how much he values Marc, so he wants grandpa to put pressure on you.”

“That’s what I’m thinking too,” Leo said cheerfully, “It seems that Marc is most likely King. What’s more, when I asked him what he was planning to develop, he said that he was studying artificial intelligence!”

Isabella’s eyes also lit up. “That’s even more so. He is a true genius. As long as we give him enough support, he will definitely be able to develop artificial intelligence.”

Leo nodded quickly. He had already thought of the future where he could make a fortune by using Al.

In order to show that he attached great importance to talents, Leo especially went to see

Marc again. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Marc was a very young programmer.

His appearance and his clothes were ordinary. He had some abilities, but he was far from outstanding.

Now, seeing Leo come in person, he couldn’t help but stand up nervously.

He didn’t know why Leo would hire him at a sky–high price of four million dollars a year.

Although he had been well paid for his previous job, he had only earned about 40,000 to 60,000 dollars a year.

How many times did it increase all of a sudden?

Although Marc was a little hesitant about the sky–high salary, Leo had even given him an advance payment of one million dollars for the contract.

He would be really stupid to refuse such a good offer.

Although the contract had been signed, Marc was still a little nervous.

When he saw Leo coming over, his first reaction was to wonder if Leo regretted it.

I want

“Mr. Roy.” Unexpectedly, Leo said to him politely, “You said before that to do artificial intelligence?”

Al was just an idea that suddenly flashed through Marc’s mind. At present, he didn’t even know what his direction was.

But since Leo had asked, he could only brace himself to say, “Yes.”

“Good!” Leo applauded on the spot. “I’ll invest two million dollars first! Take the money and go build your own team. If you don’t have enough money later, just tell me. I can continue

to invest!”

Marc opened his mouth wide and looked at Leo in a daze.

He only had one thought now.

“Am I crazy?

“Or is he crazy?

“Or is the world going crazy?”

Leo thought that he had touched Marc with his words. He couldn’t help patting the latter on the shoulder and said, “Mr. Roy, don’t worry and do it boldly. No one knows better than me how talented you are. You’ve been suppressed by Ben in Storm Group all these years. It must have been hard on you. But don’t worry, I’m different from him. I’m willing to give you the biggest platform and support so that you can do whatever you want.”

Leo spoke passionately.

Marc was stunned.

He didn’t know that he had such abilities.

So much that even Ben wanted to suppress him?

Although it sounded a little strange, Marc had to admit that when Leo said that he was a talent, he felt very comfortable in his heart.

Even Marc himself couldn’t help but doubt it.

Could it be that he really was some sort of super genius, but hadn’t displayed his potential under the oppression of reality?

Leo said something else that was encouraging and then gave Marc two million dollars to build his own team.

Looking at the extra two million dollars in his bank account, Marc suddenly felt excited.

Leo had said that Marc could create the early stages of Al.

In that case, Marc would give it his all.

Marc went to set up a team seriously.

He went to his previous company to poach some people and recruited some people from college. Things were looking great for the time being.

Leo looked at Marc and felt that he had not misjudged him.

At this time, he had already sold the factory and collected ten million dollars of cash.

Now, he only had an empty shell company left.

But that didn’t matter. As long as the Al created by Marc was really outstanding, then all the sacrifices were worth it.

Leo felt that such a talent had been snatched away by him.

Ben would definitely fly into a rage.

Therefore, he was very careful to hide the artificial intelligence project from the outside world.

“Now, all I have to do is wait for the moment to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat,” Leo thought smugly.

Ben had tried to find out what Leo was doing now, but Leo kept it a secret, so Ben couldn’t be bothered with him.

As for Penelope, she came to accompany Charlie every day and kept bragging that Leo was doing the project of the century. When it succeeded, it would definitely surprise the world.

On the other hand, Charlie was very happy to be coaxed by her.

As long as Charlie was happy, Ben couldn’t be bothered to ask more.
