Celine hesitated for a while, then asked, ” Are the things you just told me trade secrets?”
“If you ask me as a subordinate, then yes. I
f you ask me as my niece, then I can only
tell you, please make the right choice.”
After Paulson said these meaningful
words, he ended the video call.
Meanwhile, Celine sat in her study for a
long time, spaced out.
More than half an hour later, Celine called Jasper directly.
She made a choice, at least the one she thought was the right choice.
Jasper had just fallen asleep when he
received Celine’s call.
However, he had long been accustomed to
being called back to work by an emergency call at any time, so Jasper regained his vigor as soon as he got on the call.
He glanced at Wendy, who was sleeping
next to him, and stood up lightly. After
walking out of the bedroom, he said to the
phone. “It’s me.”
On the other end of the phone, Celine explained to him the whole situation as briefly as she could. Of course, she did not tell him Paulson’s theory of the chess player and abandoned pawn.
“I know, this is reasonable.”
Jasper said calmly.
“But won’t you get into trouble for revealing such important news to me?”
“Do you think I’ll get into trouble for
leaking trade secrets?” Celine asked
bluntly.
“It’s fine, you can just leave. Before this, I told you if you can’t continue to work in Colossal, you can come to find me. I can give you a position here,” Jasper said half jokingly.
“I told you I only worked for venture capital, and you don’t even have a bank. Should I go there to be your secretary?” Celine said with a chuckle.
“Who says I don’t have a bank?”
