# Chapter 317: The Genius Who Came for More Than Just a Job
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 317 of "The Breaking Point of Love" – a chapter where ambition, hidden motives, and unexpected sparks collide in a high-stakes interview room.
---
The interview had taken an unexpected turn. After Celeste's impressive display of modifying Kieran's code right before his eyes, the young man had fully committed to the process. "Of course we'll continue the interview!" he declared, extending his hand with confident ease.
"Hello, I'm Kieran Gibson. Nice to meet you."
Celeste shook his hand, her expression unreadable. "I know." She already had his resume memorized.
Then came the question that hung in the air like a challenge: "So, are you interviewing me, or am I interviewing you?"
Kieran grinned, his charm radiating through the room. "Either works."
What followed was a true battle of wits. Celeste, ever the sharp evaluator, dug deep into his technical expertise – data cleaning, feature engineering, parameter tuning, and his ability to craft innovative solutions under pressure. To her surprise, Kieran matched her every question with insightful answers that revealed a terrifyingly sharp mind.
Time slipped away unnoticed. By the time they finished, Celeste had reached a startling conclusion: this man was exceptionally skilled. What made it even more remarkable was that he had only been in the AI field for a little over a year. He had switched careers entirely, yet his expertise rivaled seasoned professionals. If he maintained this momentum, the sky was not his limit – the universe was.
Closing his resume, Celeste finally asked a personal question. "Your resume says you've basically lived in Andostan since childhood. What made you decide to return to the country for your career?"
The truth was, during their entire conversation, both had been evaluating each other. Kieran had already witnessed her programming brilliance when she modified his code. Now, after their discussion, he realized her overall abilities were almost terrifyingly powerful.
Kieran answered without hesitation. "Because of your programming language, Cuap, and the latest project, Infinite-CM. Especially Yoda Vision's Infinite-CM. It made me see so many possibilities, showed me how vibrant the AI market is here. AI development in Andostan is basically stagnant compared to here."
Then, without missing a beat, he turned the tables. "Now that you're done asking questions, isn't it my turn?"
Before Celeste could respond, Kieran stood up, walked directly to her, and looked straight into her eyes with unnerving intensity. "Do you have a boyfriend? What kind of guy do you like? Do you think I'd be a good fit?"
The interview room fell silent. Other people present covered their mouths, barely stifling their laughter.
Celeste remained completely calm. "No comment." She added firmly, "Your interview is over. You can leave now."
As she stood to leave, Kieran followed, seemingly taking her exit as confirmation that he had gotten under her skin. "I can start working right away. I don't even need a salary."
Celeste ignored him completely and walked straight out the door.

That afternoon, Matthias returned and asked about the interview process. "Did you find any suitable candidates today?"
"Two of them are pretty good," Celeste replied, handing him the resumes.
Matthias glanced at them and paused instantly when he saw Kieran's name. "It's him."
Celeste looked up. "You know him?"
"Yeah," Matthias said thoughtfully. "He's the Gibson family's golden child. I heard he was doing well in finance, but two years ago, for some reason, he suddenly decided to switch fields. His family was furious – after all, they have a massive business empire waiting for him to take over." He added, "I also heard a few days ago that he ran away from home. His family's been searching for him everywhere. I never expected he would sneak back to the country."
Celeste said nothing.
Matthias glanced at the resume again. "Looks well-written. How's his actual ability?"
"Pretty good. He's only been studying for less than two years, but his skills already surpass most PhD students from top universities."
"Oh? That definitely makes him a genius." Matthias mused. "You want to keep him?"
"I'm considering it, but..."
"Worried he won't stick around?"
"Yeah." Even though Kieran seemed genuinely interested in Cuap and Infinite-CM, there were still too many unstable factors surrounding him.
"We can put him on probation first. If he's not a good fit, we can let him go," Matthias suggested.
"Alright."

Meanwhile, the moment Kieran stepped into the arcade, he became the center of attention. Handsome, broad-shouldered, long-legged, exuding an elite aura – several young women wanted to approach him, but his slightly pursed lips and distant, unapproachable vibe made them hesitate. No one dared to strike up a conversation.
Time passed. Then his phone rang.
The voice on the other end burst out excitedly. "How did the interview go? Did that Rodriguez chick fall for your charm? Don't tell me she actually believed you fell in love with her at first sight? Hahaha! You should use a few more tricks – make her so obsessed with you that she can't let go!"
Kieran's expression remained unreadable. Before he could respond, he noticed Wynn entering the arcade. Seeing her, he simply said into the phone, "I'll call you back."
"Finally found you," Wynn said, stopping in front of him. "You came back without a word – your sister and your family were scared out of their minds. They seriously thought something had happened to you." She was about to say "reckless," but when she saw his silent, slightly defiant expression, she swallowed the words.
Instead, she said, "I already know why you came back. If you return for Yoda Vision's technology, I fully support you. But if you came back because of me, and if you want to teach Celeste a lesson by making her fall for you and then cruelly dumping her to humiliate her – I don't approve of that. My conflict with her is my own. I don't want you getting involved."
Kieran stared at her face but didn't speak. He didn't ask how she had found him.
Wynn noticed his lingering gaze and chuckled, touching her face. "Do I have something on my face?"
Kieran shook his head. "No."
"About what I just said—"
"I'm leaving." Without responding, Kieran turned and walked away.
"Kieran, don't do anything reckless!" Wynn hurried after him.
But he ignored her, stepped into the elevator, and went downstairs. As he got into his car, he spotted someone sitting inside another vehicle – Trevor.
Kieran froze in his tracks.
Trevor smiled. "Long time no see."
Kieran didn't reply. He just glanced at Trevor, then turned to Wynn and said, "Take care. Goodbye." Before she could react, he had already driven off.
Wynn watched him leave, her frown deepening.

The next day, Celeste arrived at the office to find a bouquet of flowers on her desk. Before she could react, someone nearby said, "The new guy from R&D, Kieran, sent them!"
Celeste wasn't surprised or troubled. She simply said, "Got it." Then she casually placed the flowers aside and got straight to work.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:** Oh, what a fascinating chapter! The tension in the interview room was electric – Kieran's blatant charm offensive versus Celeste's icy professionalism created such a delicious dynamic. But the real bombshell came during Kieran's phone call. Is his entire interest in Celeste just a game? And Wynn's warning only deepens the mystery. Celeste's calm dismissal of the flowers shows she's not easily swayed, but we can't help wondering what Kieran's true intentions are.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars**
**Next Chapter Prediction:** Kieran won't give up easily. He's clearly determined to get close to Celeste, and now that he knows Trevor is also in the picture, the competition might intensify. Will Celeste's cold shoulder drive him to more extreme measures? And what role will Wynn's warning play in all this? The plot thickens!
