BookToReadChapter 464 Anyone in her place would have struggled with what happened lately.
That said, Sylvie was undeniably capable-both in her technical expertise and her composure under pressure.
"The Neural Intelligence concept is quite mature, and it has a clear advantage in navigation systems," Alexander remarked, turning to Elodie.
Elodie nodded in agreement.
Everyone involved with Neural Intelligence was a heavyweight in the field-no one second-rate could have gotten this far, let alone landed a spot on this project.
Of course, it didn't hurt that Jarrod pulled a few strings, either.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Sylvie finished her presentation, several people in the room looked genuinely impressed.
Professional strengths aside, she clearly had a technical edge.
Next up was VistaLink Technologies.
Alexander gave Elodie a gentle nudge. "Your turn." Elodie didn't hesitate. Instead of reading from her prepared notes, she opened her laptop and spoke from the ideas she'd just jotted down her thoughts organized and articulate.
Even Naylor couldn't help but turn to look at her.
When she spoke, the data seemed to calive; every point she made was unexpectedly sharp and insightful.
He couldn't resist sending a quick message to Elias: Hey, I'm with Elodie now. She's way more impressive than I expected! Seriously, her knowledge of materials science putsto shame.
Honestly, she shines even brighter as herself than as Mrs. Silverstein. I think she's got sof the squalities you have.
Elias, of course, didn't reply.
Naylor didn't mind; he just needed to express his astonishment.
Elodie had taken the tto fully understand what the military needed, so everything she discussed struck right at the core of their concerns.
Even Harper, the lead official at the head of the table, looked a bit surprised.
"Ms. Thorne's ideas are certainly... unconventional," Harper admitted, almost in awe.
Sylvie glanced over coolly. "The vision is good, but the feasibility is clearly lacking. If subsequent experiments fail, implementing this would require a huge investment of manpower and resources. As for the propulsion system proposal, it's simply not viable-too many potential pitfalls." She didn't call Elodie out by name, but her words dismissed Elodie's concept with casual ease.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt wasn't personal-Sylvie was just being blunt. But how could Elodie cup with such unrealistic ideas? There was no hard evidence to back them up.
Just empty, idealistic talk.
Sin the room agreed with Sylvie. With their experience, they could see the risks-unless there was a breakthrough in data or algorithms, it was just too much of a gamble.
As Sylvie spoke, a few people nodded, glancing between the twa women In this area, Sylvie definitely seemed to have the upper hand-more pragmatic, more incisive.
Elodie, however, met her gaze calmly and shot back, "If you find it risky and unworkable, kable, Ms Fielding, maybe it's tyou pushed yourself a bit harder." That... caught everyone off guard. Sylvie's stare turned icy. "I'm simply speaking from a practical standpoint. Everyone here can judge the merit of Ms. Thorne's proposal. I'd appreciate it if you kept your personal feelings in check Alexander actually chuckled.
So Sylvie could question others, but Elodie wasn't allowed to push back?
Of course Elodie saw right through her. With all the recent , Sylvie was seizing this moment to assert her expertise-publicly shooting downlodie's plan, thinly veiling her mockery to make a point about their supposed gap in ability. Yn But- Elodie's voice was cool as steel. "If my ideas are so flimsy, maybe my 469 score should have woken you up by now."
