"Yes, because we don’t plan to hire well-known actors, which will save costs to the maximum." Vera Wave replied.

The finance department director nodded.

Next, several other executives asked them some questions, and finally, it was voting time. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Kate Palmer glanced around the room, "If everyone has no questions, then it’s voting time now. Since Vera presented first, she will start the voting. Now, those who support Vera’s proposal, please raise your hand."

Having said that, she was the first to raise her palm.

The finance department director raised his hand too, followed by the design department director, sales department director...

Watching the hands being raised one after another, Kylo Sail could hardly believe his own eyes. That grand and unique idea of hers, they actually... support this newcomer, so-called humanistic feelings?!

Vera Wave looked at those hands being raised one by one, equally surprised. Beside her, Merlin Bradley, Ruben Campbell, and Wang Xiaoya all showed excitement.

Apart from Kris Cooper, all the executives sitting at the table raised their hands.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Kris Cooper, but he was just tapping his fingers on the screen, "focused" on playing his game.

Kate Palmer withdrew her gaze, smiled, and stood up, extending her palm towards Vera Wave.

"Vera, congratulations to you and your team."

"Thank you!" Vera hurriedly stood up, grasping her hand, "Thank you, thank you all... for trusting me and my team, also thanks..." Her gaze fell on Kris Cooper, who was still playing his game. She stiffened slightly, "Thanks to the president’s support, we will definitely strive to make this project a success."

"Keep up the good work!" Kate Palmer smiled and patted her shoulder, her gaze shifting to the three beside her, "You all too."

"Thank you, director!"

The three spoke simultaneously.

Kris Cooper’s voice sounded, only two words.

"Meeting adjourned."

Everyone looked at his expression and stood up to leave voluntarily. Being department leaders, they are naturally smart and can easily discern that he seems to be in a bad mood.

Hence, all executives left the room.

Kylo Sail, feeling embarrassed, had already grabbed his computer and documents and left, paying no mind to her team.

The other team members were all junior employees and naturally dared not leave first, shuffling out behind the executives.

Vera Wave glanced at Christoper Cooper, deliberately slowing down her packing movements, ending up as the last one.

Carrying her things, she slowly stood up, and slowly walked to the table, slowly passed by his side...

He must have found it inconvenient with so many people around, which is why he hasn’t acknowledged her.

Thinking this, Vera’s gaze once again turned to Kris Cooper.

Waiting for him to speak, waiting for him to call her...

Regrettably, he never lifted his head or made a sound until she walked out the door.

"Vera, hurry up!"

Merlin Bradley urged from the front, Vera turned her face, glanced at Kris Cooper from outside the door, pressed her lips, and jogged to catch up with the others.

...

...

Inside the Conference Room.

Kris Cooper’s phone vibrated again, and on the screen, his game character had died — the phone only vibrates when the character dies.

Tommy Taylor’s gaze swept over his phone, "President..."

He knew clearly that Kris Cooper wasn’t really playing the game, his mind was not on the game, otherwise, how could an expert like him possibly die?
