The chapter opens with Jordyn's quiet tears. She had called her mother, Celeste, again and again, but those calls were rarely returned. Even when Jordyn reached out, the response was slow, distant. In her young heart, a painful thought took root: *Everything else is more important than me.* The more she thought about it, the more her tears flowed, helpless and raw.
Trevor, ever the gentle father, couldn't bear to see her so broken. He wiped her tears with his thumb and whispered, "Your mom really is very busy with work right now. Next year—after next year—your mom's work shouldn't be so busy anymore." Those words were like a balm on a wound. Jordyn sniffled, wiped her face with the back of her hand, and turned to Celeste with eyes full of fragile hope. "Really? Will you have more time after next year, Mom?"
Celeste's heart clenched. She couldn't shatter that glimmer of hope, but she also couldn't make a promise she wasn't sure she could keep. She spoke carefully, honestly: "My work should basically be wrapped up by the end of this year, but next year there may still be other things to deal with. So I can't promise that I'll definitely have time..."
Yet Jordyn caught something in Celeste's face—a trace of reluctance, of care. That was enough. She climbed down from Trevor's arms, wrapped her small arms around Celeste, and said, "Alright then, even if that's the case, it's okay. But Mom, when you do have time, you still have to answer my calls more often."
Celeste hesitated, then glanced at Trevor. He met her eyes, expression neutral, as if to say, *Do what you want. I won't interfere.* She looked away and finally said, "I will try."
And just like that, Jordyn's sadness lifted. Children are resilient. Soon she was pulling her chair closer to Celeste, chattering happily about her last training match, showing photos on her tablet. Trevor, watching the two of them, quietly removed fish bones from Jordyn's food and served her plate, not saying a word. The meal stretched on, lively and warm, until Jordyn grew tired and sleepy. Knowing Celeste didn't have the strength to carry her, she climbed into Trevor's arms and drifted off to sleep.
Once Jordyn was asleep, the room fell silent. Only Celeste and Trevor remained. Celeste picked up her bag and stood. "I'll go now. You... take good care of her."
"Alright," Trevor said.
She left without another word. Trevor stayed seated for a while, holding their sleeping daughter, before finally rising to leave.

But the story didn't end there. Back at the Fleming Group, Trevor had an important meeting to attend, yet his mind was elsewhere. After the meeting ended, Jacob and Zeke heard him ask, "Is the meeting downstairs over? Has the follow-up handling plan been sent up? If it's here, bring it over for me."
They exchanged a glance. Trevor was leaving on a business trip tomorrow and had a mountain of documents to process today. Celeste's plan wasn't even due to start until next month—it was still just a preliminary draft. He could easily wait until after his trip. But he had spoken, so Zeke fetched the documents.
When Trevor received the plan, he didn't waste time. He skimmed for key terms, then read faster and faster. Eight to nine pages of dense technical jargon were finished in under three minutes. And as he read, a faint smile spread across his face. Jacob and Zeke could see it—he was deeply impressed.
Trevor closed the document and said, "They should be going to a group lunch later. Zeke, go tell them I'll be joining as well."
Both men froze. Then Zeke nodded. "Alright."
Indeed, Celeste's team had a lunch gathering scheduled for noon. Celeste, Matthias, and the others were about to leave when Lazarus Collet, the head of Fleming Group's technical department, announced, "Just got word that Mr. Fleming will also be coming to lunch."
Celeste showed little reaction, but Matthias leaned in and muttered, "With the current stage of cooperation, there's no need for him to get personally involved. What's he coming for?" Celeste just shook her head.
They arrived at the restaurant and waited. When Trevor finally appeared with Jacob, several senior executives and engineers from Fleming Group stood to greet him. After pleasantries, he turned to Celeste and Matthias, took the initiative to shake hands, and said, "I've read the follow-up handling plan. The ideas are excellent. Thank you for your hard work."
The technical staff were stunned. Their plan had only been submitted that morning—and Trevor had already read it? That fast?
As they settled down, Matthias received a phone call. An urgent matter at his company required him to rush back. After saying his goodbyes, Celeste looked at him with concern. "What's wrong?" Matthias patted her shoulder, bent close, and whispered, "Don't worry, I can handle it." The others at the table couldn't help but sigh at how close they seemed.
Jacob and Zeke both glanced at Trevor. They knew the real reason he was here—it was because of Celeste. But Trevor's expression was unreadable.
With Matthias gone, the conversation at the table turned to the details of future cooperation. Then Trevor looked at Celeste and interjected, "I'm quite interested in the heterogeneous solution mentioned in point three of the latest plan. If it's fully implemented, both the perception chip and the terminal performance would see significant improvement. However, the implementation difficulty is also quite high. For example, overly complex programming, fast computing units, but overly slow data transfer—all big problems requiring a large amount of cost and manpower to solve. As for the programming complexity, the AI auto-code-splitting you mentioned could address it, but the maturity of that technology is insufficient. Wouldn't that introduce even more problems?"
The technical team was stunned all over again. He really *had* read the plan. Celeste was also surprised, but she responded, "You're right, that is indeed an issue. But when problems arise at this stage, I can make a commitment in terms of computing power. We can provide a model at the hundred-billion parameter scale. As for the difficulty of toolchain integration, we can..."
The more they talked, the deeper the technical discussion went. Trevor pushed with more questions, and Celeste answered with precision and clarity. And then, something clicked. Jacob, Zeke, and the others realized: Trevor had *already* known the follow-up solutions all along. And Celeste's solution aligned perfectly with his own thinking.
At that moment, Jacob and Zeke finally understood why Trevor had smiled after reading the plan. They understood why he had come to this lunch. And they saw the way he looked at Celeste—a deep gaze, with that same faint smile beneath it. Silently, they lowered their heads.
