Julia signed the termination agreement quickly.
As for the compensation fee, she promised to make full payment within the timeframe stated in the contract.
When Johnny received the update, he scoffed. “She sure acts fast.”
From then on, their lawyers handled the follow–up. Once Julia signed the termination, neither Maggie nor Johnny bothered to pay the matter any further attention.
A couple of days later, Nolan was on vacation. The three of them–teacher and students–hadn’t seen each other for a while, so they arranged to meet up for a meal.
That afternoon, Maggie and Johnny left the office and arrived at the restaurant. Just as they stepped up to the entrance, they ran into Julia and Franklin’s party.
Also with them was Mr. Alison, the head of Alison Group, another major domestic AI company.
Mr. Alison was acquainted with Johnny. They got along fairly well and usually had a chat when they ran into each

Alison Group was one of the top–tier Al companies in America.
In terms of deal value, this new partnership was probably double what they had offered.
Maggie took a sip of water and commented, “Their natural language processing system was the best in the country last year–undisputed. It’s no surprise they’d go with Mr. Alison. Honestly, after missing out with us, this was their best option to make up for lost ground.”
