Chapter 590
The worktables were covered with stacks of notes, densely filled with research annotations and calculations.
Alan’s eyes sparkled with fascination as an intense yearning welled up inside him—he longed to be part of this world.
Carney was about to step in and stop Aria from bringing Alan near the core area, but then realized she was only giving him a perimeter tour of the facility. He relaxed a little, though he still kept a close eye on them.
“What do you think?” Aria asked.
“Amazing!” Alan replied, his eyes shining with excitement.
Carney sneered as he stepped closer. “Yeah, it’s impressive. Too bad Professor Galan overgeneralized-one setback, and he just shut himself off. Now everyone’s too scared to intern early.”
He set the precedent and lost both his mentor and classmates.
But Carney didn’t regret it—he believed he had made the smart choice, and the others were real fools.
“That was our own decision-it had nothing to do with the professor!” Alan retorted. “He never interfered with our choices!”
Carney sneered, “If he didn’t interfere, would you really be too scared to intern? Too scared to pick a company? The professor’s just an old fossil!”
Hearing that, Alan was livid. “Show some respect for the professor!” he snapped. “He’s been our mentor for life!”
Adrian never actually minded if his students wanted to pursue other opportunities, but everyone was afraid of leaving a bad impression on him, so they waited until graduation to make any decisions.
He’d mentioned several times that he didn’t care, but no one listened, so he just let it be.
If Carney hadn’t unilaterally quit the team, cut off contact, and blown things out of proportion, no one would have misunderstood Adrian’s intentions.
Carney scoffed, “I’ve paid for my education—it’s only natural the professor teaches me. I’m not going to be a bootlicker like you guys.”
Alan clenched his fists and abruptly turned to Aria. “Ms. Saxon, can I join the team?”
Aria was taken aback. “You want to join the Stars Group’s Brain-Inspired Computing Team?”
“Yes!” Alan nodded resolutely. “I want Carney to see that even if I intern or work here, the professor won’t say a thing. It’s all just his wild imagination!”
Aria hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly. Smiling, she said, “Well then, let’s get the paperwork done. You’ll start as an intern, and if things work out, we’ll make it official.”
However, Alan immediately regretted saying those words.
He knew Adrian wouldn’t blame him, but he still had no idea how to bring it up.
Seeing his hesitation, Aria reassured him, “I’ll have someone get the contract ready for you to sign. Leave the rest to me-I’ll explain everything to Professor Galan.”
Carney sneered, “See? You’re all just as afraid of crossing the professor. So don’t act all high and mighty when everyone’s scared of the same thing.”

Alan glared at him defiantly and said, “I’ll sign it right now! And just watch-I’ll help the Stars Group recruit even more top
talents!”
Things had gone so smoothly that it even took Aria by surprise.
She glanced down to text someone, then said to the spectating team lead, “Take Alan to sign the paperwork.”
The team lead snapped out of it. “Sure.”
Aria then turned to Alan. “Go sign. I’ll wait for you at the entrance.”
Still fuming, Alan snapped, “Fine,” and followed the team lead out.
