Chapter 233: 233. Redundant person_1

"President Jones."

He immediately nodded in greeting, but was completely taken aback by Adam Jones’s return with Elly Campbell.

Hadn’t CEO Campbell said they were divorced?

Although Greenhill Ainley was puzzled, he always had little interest in other people’s private affairs and naturally did not inquire further.

Adam Jones nodded at him and then listened to Elly Campbell ask Greenhill Ainley, "Mr. Ainley, what’s the situation at the company now?"

"Just after we reached a cooperation with GreenPro, Glory Group’s lawyers accused us of infringement. I called a meeting with the Technical Department yesterday and feel that there’s something fishy going on."

The two chatted as they walked, seemingly having forgotten the "extra" person beside them.

Elly Campbell frowned upon hearing this. "Before the cooperation with GreenPro, didn’t you go to register the patent at the business office first?"

If they had visited the business office, and since the patent had already been registered by Glory Group, there would definitely have been a prompt when they tried to register the same thing.

When Elly Campbell brought this up, Greenhill Ainley’s face showed a hint of embarrassment, "I’m to blame for this oversight. GreenPro had an urgent project that needed to be implemented promptly, so they wanted to finalize the cooperation with us as soon as possible."

"So after the Technical Department handed over the R&D results to me, I immediately sent someone to sign the cooperation with GreenPro first. We had only developed this technology a few days ago, and I thought it wouldn’t make much difference to delay the registration a little."

At this point, Greenhill Ainley’s face showed self-reproach, "I’m sorry, CEO Campbell, this oversight was my fault."

Elly Campbell shook her head, sensing something dubious from Greenhill Ainley’s words.

She stopped walking, looked at Greenhill Ainley and asked, "When did Glory Group register their technology?"

"The day after we developed ours."

This was what Greenhill Ainley was about to mention, "Before that, Glory Group, just like us, had been developing degradable material technology but also failed to develop the core technology. So, once our technology came out, we signed the contract with GreenPro. Only one day passed in between, and I didn’t expect..."

After listening, Elly Campbell narrowed her eyes and after a moment of contemplation, a profound smile appeared on her face, "That really is quite the coincidence."

She did not clarify what aspect was coincidental and then fell silent.

The driver brought the car around, and Elly Campbell got in without any intention of inviting Adam Jones.

Seeing that Adam Jones, who had been following along, seemed to have no intention of getting in the car, Greenhill Ainley was somewhat puzzled. He looked toward Adam Jones, lost in thought, and said:

"President Jones, aren’t you getting in the car?"

Elly Campbell, who had been preoccupied with company matters, only subconsciously looked up and glanced outside the car when she heard Greenhill Ainley’s words.

Seeing Adam Jones shake his head, "No need, you go on."

Greenhill Ainley then looked back inside the car at Elly Campbell, and seeing that CEO Campbell said nothing more, he said his goodbyes to Adam Jones and got into the car himself.

Elly Campbell did not know why Adam Jones had specifically come to Alaska, and she could hardly believe he had come just to freeload a meal from her.

But since he wasn’t talking, she naturally did not ask further; there was still a pile of work waiting for her to deal with, and she had no interest in meddling with Adam Jones’s affairs.

After Elly Campbell left, Adam Jones took out his phone and dialed a number, "I’m in Alaska, come see me immediately once you’re done with your business."
