Chapter 1768: 427: Experiment successful, crying in regret!_4 Chapter 1768: 427: Experiment successful, crying in regret!_4 This scene caught the eye of Mandel Thompson, who slightly furrowed his brows and took a sip of water from his glass.
Marsh Hofmann was one of the few young executives at Cloud Company, a graduate of a renowned foreign electronic technology university.
Hearing this, Marsh Hofmann looked toward Mandel Thompson and then began to speak, “I have already followed nearly half of Miss Astir's work, and the content is excellent with ambitious scope, just as Miss Astir said, it has elements of both fiery youth and national righteousness. From my perspective, this work has the potential to be more transformative than 'The Secret of S'.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a buzz of discussion around the conference table.
'The Secret of S' was a blockbuster comic of the year, even recommended by famous movie stars, and it enjoyed high national popularity.
President Swantz, sitting next to CEO Cooper, then spoke, “Considering the current popularity of 'The Secret of S', if we adapt it into a game, it will also save us a chunk in advertising expenses!”
CEO Cooper nodded in agreement.
Isla Astir's work was hot too, but it was still missing something.
The others also nodded along.
Mandel Thompson narrowed his eyes, “Does anyone else have any opinions?”
The conference room was silent.
Mandel Thompson closed the file in front of him and continued, “Then we'll discuss this again tomorrow.”
“Meeting adjourned.”
After the meeting, Isla Astir received a call from her editor, “Hey, Wennie, how did it go? Did you work out the cooperation?”
“Not yet, I'll tell you about it when I get back.”
Realizing that Isla Astir was not in a position to talk, the editor immediately hung up, “Okay, I'll wait for your call tonight.”
After hanging up the phone, the editor gossiped with the chief editor.
“Bonnie, do you think Cloud Group's President Thompson has taken a fancy to our Wennie?”
Hearing this, Chief Editor Bonnie immediately became interested, “What makes you say that? Did you notice something?”
The editor narrowed her eyes, “By all accounts, only executives should be attending Cloud Group's internal meetings, so why was Wennie there? It's clear she received special treatment.”
The chief editor nodded, “If you put it that way, it does seem likely. And Wennie is quite attractive!”
The company had more than once tried to persuade Isla Astir to use her beauty as a selling point for promotion, but she had always refused!
She just wanted to focus on her comics, think about the plot, and wasn't interested in cultivating a fan base according to the usual celebrity playbook.
Too tiring!

After the meeting, Isla Astir stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the 58th floor, overlooking the scenery below.
“Miss Astir.”
Just then, a voice came from behind.
Isla Astir turned slightly and said politely, “President Swantz.”
Marsh Hofmann smiled, “Privately, you can call me by my first name, Miss Astir.”
Isla Astir was about to speak when Mandel Thompson's secretary approached from the side, “Miss Astir.”
“Hello,” Isla Astir turned slightly.
The secretary continued, “President Thompson would like you to stop by his office.”
To his office?
Upon hearing this, Marsh Hofmann gave Isla Astir a somewhat surprised look.
Isla Astir was not that kind of glaring beauty.
She was like a classical lady who had stepped out of an ancient town in the south.
The more you looked at her, the more attractive she became.
It turned out that men preferred the steady type.
Marsh Hofmann gave a faint smile and turned to leave.
As he neared the elevator, he saw a cute girl dressed in Lolita fashion approaching.
The girl had fair skin, her hair tied into two braids adorned with delicate hair accessories, looking like a little princess who had stepped out of an art photograph.
“Brother!”
This was Marsh Hofmann's younger sister, Charlotte.
“Going to see Brandon?” Marsh Hofmann asked.
Charlotte glanced at him, “You already know.”
Marsh Hofmann slung his arm around Charlotte's shoulder and guided her toward the elevator, “Don't bother, he's already got someone in mind.”
“What do you mean, brother?” Charlotte was completely stunned.
Marsh Hofmann continued, “Exactly what I said.”
Charlotte furrowed her brows slightly, “Impossible! Brandon has always been single, hardly ever interacts with girls, how could he possibly have someone in mind?!”
She liked Mandel Thompson so much, learning that he might have someone in mind felt worse than being killed.
“I'm your brother!” Marsh Hofmann wasn't one for idle chat.
Charlotte's face immediately fell.
“Who?”
All she wanted to know now was who could possibly catch Mandel Thompson's eye.
“Not from our circles,” replied Marsh Hofmann, “But rest assured, Brandon's taste wouldn't be poor.”
