Chapter 301
As they were halfway through their meal, Moran suddenly remembered something and turned to Vesta. “Hey, by the way, PrimeStar Technologies is expanding their team. Are you thinking about giving it another shot?”
Vesta had been abroad recently, but she was already aware of PrimeStar’s recruitment drive. Truth be told, she was quite tempted. After all, PrimeStar was renowned for its cutting-edge technology, and joining them would be a great boost for her career. But… Moran, noticing her hesitation, chuckled and said, “I bumped into a friend yesterday who mentioned that Stewart Ferguson isn’t just hiring tech people; he’s also on the lookout for management staff. From what I gather, Stewart hasn’t reserved any management spots for her.” The “her” in question was, of course, Charlene Ross.
With PrimeStar expanding and restructuring, it seemed like the perfect opportunity for Charlene to secure a position. Yet, Stewart hadn’t allocated any management roles to her, suggesting he was either staying clear-headed or that their relationship might be hitting a rough patch.
Either way, if Charlene wasn’t going to have a position at PrimeStar soon, her influence there would definitely diminish. So, if Vesta was considering joining PrimeStar, now would indeed be a golden opportunity.
Vesta knew all too well about Stewart’s fondness for Charlene. At the holiday party last year, he even ignored her to focus on Charlene. It was surprising to hear they might be drifting apart. But then again, maybe it wasn’t all that unexpected. Vesta had always suspected that Charlene couldn’t keep Stewart captivated for long, and that this day would come.
She smiled subtly, saying, “Got it. I’ll find some time later to send in my resume.”
Moran grinned, throwing a playful glance at Thorne, who had been quietly eating. “You know, Thorne set up a special project at Neural Nexus Tech just for you, and now you’re thinking of jumping ship…” Thorne, helping himself to more mashed potatoes, responded, “It’s no big deal.”
Vesta knew he’d say that. Thorne had always been her staunch supporter, never putting her in a difficult position. The thought warmed her heart.
Since New Year’s Eve, Granger Harden had been swamped with work, leaving little time to catch up with Charlene. Hearing Moran and Vesta’s conversation, he remained silent.
Since both Charlene and Stewart were students of the renowned Kenton Wagner, and given that Charlene had led CUAP and PrimeStar’s latest initiatives, her standing at PrimeStar was clearly secure.
Her influence was unshakeable, regardless of any formal title. If Charlene wasn’t vying for a position openly, she might have other plans in mind…
Since the end of last
Near, Charlene had decided to devote more of her time to research. She and Stewart had mutually agreed to leave PrimeStar’s management to those best suited for it. After the holidays, Stewart had been scouting for suitable candidates, and they were close to making a decision. However, with the expansion, there was still plenty to do.
Charlene had sent her latest research findings to Kenton three days ago and was now eagerly waiting for his feedback. Just as she was pondering this, a message from Kenton popped up on her phone. “Swing by tonight.”
