***** Vol.4 Chap.34 Preparing for the evening festivities *****
After the three major patents were completed, Johan came bouncing in the next morning full of grins on his face.
JB looked at him in surprise.
“The upper management had looked over the patent applications and was extremely pleased with the writeup. They asked me to arrange for a special signing ceremony and dinner to toast our success tonight. Perhaps you can give a little speech to the management team?”
JB was flabbergasted.
“What should I say to the management team since I have never met them before?”
“Oh, the usual thank you’s and stuff like that. Nothing technical, please. We don’t want them to know too much about the technical details, just the overall accomplishments that they can understand in layman’s terms.”
“I see.”
JB was in deep thought.
“May I make a suggestion?” Johan said.
“Please.”
“Highlight the three milestones. Then share your vision of the future. After all, they are all visionaries. Sharing your vision with them would surely capture their attention.”
The suggestion was right down JB’s alley. She could certainly put on a good show with that.
This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.
“Sounds good.”
“Ok, I need to go to make sure all arrangements are made. I will be back around five this afternoon and we will go to the celebration.”
“I’ll be right here waiting.”
After Johan was gone, JB really did not need much preparation. Mentally, it took her a few minutes to review her accomplishments and her vision. She felt she must impress the management team and emphasize that she was the brain behind all the accomplishments of these milestones.
She must impress her audience that she was the one behind all the inventions and all the hard work. She alone was the one with the original ideas. Of course, she would not forget to thank PPTSB for supplying all the required datasets she needed for her research.
Satisfied with the preparation, she passed the idle time till the evening festivities by browsing for some news on the computer and came upon another article on the Global Liberators (GL).
“This is CNN correspondent Joe Shapiro reporting live from Washington.
The White House just released a statement saying that the country Qqetta in Africa had been blackmailed by the Global Liberators. The administration was given two weeks to turn over all control of the country to the Global Liberators. If the demands were not met, dire consequences will result, including possibly genocide of the entire country.
This reporter has learned that Qqetta had formally asked The United States of America for help.
Our President just released a statement from the White House saying that The United States of America will do everything in its power to aid the country.
An unnamed source in Congress was pessimistic regarding what the United States could really do.
This is Joe reporting for CNN.”
JB shook her head. She was indeed saddened by the actions and demands of the GL. But then her attention returned to her presentation.
Perhaps this is why PPTSB was moving up the time table.
She began to dream about fame and money and glory. She pictured being propelled to the forefront of science in her workshop presentation. To her, the GL was not a threat anymore. She felt confident that the more they acted, the more she would gleam as the knight in bright, shining armor to save the world.
What can the GL do? She and PPTSB held the antidote to what they could mete out to the people in South Africa.
The more she dwelled on this, the more confident she became.
