Chapter 257 Press Conference Tomorrow 

Maybe it was just a coincidence. 

The road ahead opened up, and she withdrew her wandering thoughts, continuing to drive.

Because the Global Hotel matter was successfully resolved, Nolan Group’s stock price quickly returned to its previous level. 

It looked like an all–around positive development. 

Eric and Alice’s operations had been elevated to a sort of divine status by many new media accounts. 

Once the stock stabilized, everyone’s life seemed to return to normal. 

Except that Chloe took leave. 

Janice sighed helplessly. “It was her husband who helped her get leave. He said she suddenly had a fever, over 102 degrees.” 

Alice nodded. “If she’s sick, let her rest properly. Give her a week off.” 

The IT department was naturally more idle when there were no technical issues. 

Plus, Alice had fixed many bugs in the Nolan Group, so maintenance was extremely simple. 

So everyone was basically free. 

Whether Chloe came or not didn’t matter much. 

Janice nodded. “Ms. Spencer, you really are beautiful and kind. Okay, I’ll tell Chloe, and I’ll help her write her leave note.” 

Alice thought for a moment. “Make it sick leave with no deduction in salary.” 

Janice was even more excited, looking at Alice as if she were seeing a living goddess. 

“All right, I’ll take care of it.” 

Chloe had been very tired recently, hardly taking any leave the entire year. This time, being sick, of course, she needed proper rest. 

Janice chuckled. “Okay, I’ll go do it right away.” 

After handling Chloe’s matters, Janice came back and thought of the recent cooperation between companies. 

“You might not know, but I heard they’re holding a press conference, and the final signing will take place under the media’s witness that day.”

Alice checked the calendar. “When?” 

“Tomorrow.” 

Janice sighed. “This time, Ms. Randall will also attend. Do you want to go and see?”

Outside, people were saying that Alice had joined the company because Eric wanted someone to replace Ruby. 

So if Alice went too, it would truly confirm this rumor. 

Of course, Janice was pleased to see this happen. 

After all, Ruby had given nothing to the IT department, even while continuously exploiting and oppressing them. 

It was exhausting. 

After Alice arrived, the IT department seemed to be revitalized. 

Previously, everyone was always thinking about their salary. 

Now, it seemed they didn’t care about that anymore; they only cared about enjoying their work. 

Of course, Janice could understand. 

Now that the work in the IT department was relatively light, and overtime was no longer required, many people chose to take on side projects. 

Naturally, their income increased. 

And everyone preferred Alice as their leader. 

The key point was, even when seeing subordinates take on side projects, Alice didn’t get angry. 

She only said that once they did their own work properly, the rest didn’t matter. 

But if they failed to do their own work properly, punishment was inevitable. 

“Is it with Jaxon Group?” 

Alice glanced at the news and frowned slightly. 

Janice explained. 

“Jaxon Group, aside from other matters, is indeed unmatched in robotics domestically. 

“Their team has mastered the core technology, and they can surely take considerable investment from within our country. 

“But once this investment goes through, the future returns will also be much greater.

“Robots are definitely the future trend.”

Although Janice was just an assistant, she was also from the IT department and naturally skilled in technology development. 

So she was optimistic about the robotics market. 

But domestic technology was indeed developing slowly, leaving outsiders a huge profit. 

Thinking of this, Alice still felt somewhat regretful. 

She nodded without saying more. 

After work in the evening, Alice walked out of the IT department, and Eric was standing not far away. 

It seemed he was waiting for her. 

“Are you about to ask me if I’m going to the press conference tomorrow?” 

Eric smiled. 

“It’s up to you.” 

“Oh.” 

Alice felt he was becoming increasingly dishonest. 

“Then if that’s the case, I won’t go.” 

After saying that, she bypassed him and walked off. 

Daniel, standing not far away, spoke to him. 

“Mr. Eric, why didn’t you just say that you wanted her to accompany you?” 

Eric’s expression darkened. 

He didn’t want to force Alice to do anything, but she was really direct. 

Daniel immediately followed her. 

“Mrs. Nolan, you have to go. 

“If you don’t, Mr. Eric will be alone there. That would seem so dull. 

“No, I mean you’ll definitely dominate the press conference with Mr. Eric. 

“Don’t you think you’re his spiritual support right now?” 

Eric rolled his eyes.

His expression darkened even further. 

The three of them got in the car.

As they passed the overpass again, Alice looked out the window, and for some reason, she remembered the elderly man who had been escorted by the traffic police before.
