Chapter 993 Institute Of Physics
“I’m sorry, I really can’t help you all. If your intention is to seek assistance from me, please don’t ask me out anymore.” What right do I have to speak up in Tanner Group at this point?
“Willow, what do you mean by that? We’re just asking you for a small favor. Why are you acting so haughty? Do you think you’re still the Tanner family’s precious eldest daughter?”
All of them shoved at Willow, causing her to fall onto the ground.
She looked extremely miserable at that moment.
Those people wouldn’t dare to treat her that way in the past, but now, just about everyone had the courage to step all over her.
“Let’s go! She obviously can’t help. Who does she think she is anyway? If it weren’t for her, Sophie’s reputation wouldn’t have been tarnished.“
“You have a point. If I were Sophie, I would want to kill her. There’s no way I’d ever listen to her.”
The few girls left, not even sparing a glance at Willow on the floor. Since she couldn’t be of help, they wouldn’t associate with her in the future..
Willow picked herself up from the ground and hid to the side, not wanting Sophie to see her in such a wretched state.
No matter how miserable she was, she simply didn’t want Sophie to see it. If Sophie were to see me like this, she would just laugh at me.
Willow returned home dispirited. She didn’t know what the point of her continuing to live was.
She used to think she could marry into a wealthy family, but now, her reputation was ruined. None of the prestigious families would accept her.
In her current state, even if she were willing to be someone’s mistress, no one would even want her.
When Caleb arrived home, he saw Willow in her depressed state.
“What’s wrong with you, Willa? Did someone bully you?” Caleb was now very busy at the Institute of Physics. Although the tasks he undertook were simple, he was already delighted to be able to do what he loved.
As he was too busy, he didn’t have the time to care about Willow.
“Caleb, I feel that living is so exhausting.”
Caleb furrowed his brows. Why would she have such thoughts?
“Willa, everyone will eventually feel tired as long as they’re alive. You’re in that state of mind because you don’t have a goal. Finish your university education and find something you’re interested in to do instead of overthinking, all right?”
“Find something I’m interested in to do? What can I do now? Caleb, I want to join Tanner Group.”
“Willa, Sophie is in charge of Tanner Group now. The relationship between you two has never been good, so if you join the company, you’ll only be more unhappy.”
The Tanner Group of today was not the same as before. Everyone was desperate for a chance to collaborate with the present Tanner Group.
Willow was inept in everything, so what could she do even if she secured a position in Tanner Group? “Caleb, all I want is a chance. Is that too much to ask for? I wish to turn over a new leaf.”
“That’s enough. Stop thinking too much. Prioritize finishing your education at the university, all right?”
Willow didn’t respond.
She felt utterly disappointed. She thought Caleb would help her, but all he did was tell her to finish university.
Caleb then went to the Institute of Physics. Unexpectedly, he stumbled into Sophie there.
“Soph, why are you here? Did you come to see me?” Caleb knew Sophie was the University of Medicine’s student, so it didn’t make sense for her to be there.
“The director is looking for me, so I came over. Caleb, are you adjusting well here?”
Although he was admitted into his desired Institute of Physics, she hadn’t had the chance to ask if he was adapting well.
“I’m doing fine here. Everyone treats me nicely.” Life at the Institute of Physics was hectic to begin with.
Everyone was occupied with their own tasks, but the director took exceptional care of him. Perhaps that was why everyone else was also nice to him.
“Okay. I’ll let you get back to your work, then. I’m going to see the director now.” The director seemed to have a problem that he couldn’t solve, so he asked her to come over and take a look.
However, those were confidential matters that couldn’t be disclosed to others.
“Okay. Go ahead. Let’s have dinner together when you’re done.” He had been wanting to treat her to a meal.
“All right.” The current Sophie was much more easygoing. Caleb figured it was because of her relationship with Tristan.
Sophie headed straight to the director, Ross Campbell’s office.
“Mr. Campbell, may I know why you called me over this time?” Sophie cut to the chase upon stepping into the room.
She preferred to get straight to the point in everything she did, as she wasn’t fond of beating around the bush
Ross handed her a folder
“We’ve been researching a new type of fighter jet recently, but we encountered a problem with the calculations, and I was hoping you could take a look”
The big shots at the Institute of Physics were all stumped, which was why Ross thought of her
“Okay. I got it. I’ll give it a try after I go back.” Sophie hadn’t seen the specific details yet, so she wasn’t sure whether she could figure it out. Still, no matter what, she would do her best.
“All right. Don’t feel too burdened. We just want you to give it a shot.” Ross didn’t put too much on her. After all, Sophie was still young, and her major was medicine.
“Okay.”
“Didn’t you mention last time that you wanted to treat me to a meal? You haven’t forgotten about that, have you?” Ross said jokingly.
“How could I forget? Let’s do it tonight, then.”
“Tonight it is. Bring your brother along. He’s been performing well lately. It seems he really benefited from his time abroad. After he becomes more familiar with our environment, he can join our core team.” The Tanner family’s genes are indeed outstanding to have two exceptional descendants like them.
“All right. Thank you, Mr. Campbell.”
“What are you thanking me for? I should thank you for introducing such a talent to join my team.” Caleb was undoubtedly skilled.
That night, the trio had dinner together. Caleb didn’t expect he would get the chance to share a meal with Ross.
Ross couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of Caleb’s tense demeanor.
“Young man, there’s no need to be so nervous. I’m not going to eat you.” Ross was stern at the Institute of Physics, but that was because of the serious nature of their work. In private, he was actually a very affable person.
“Mr. Campbell, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I really enjoy working here.” Despite the endless need to pull all-nighters at the Institute of Physics. Caleb was genuinely passionate and fond of his work.
“Just focus on doing your job well, and don’t overthink. You can prove your worth with your ability.” Ross didn’t hold any expectations for Caleb initially, but he had changed his mind now. This guy is a real talent.
“Mr. Campbell, let me offer you a toast.” Caleb raised his glass and drank the content in one gulp. He was truly grateful to Ross for granting him that chance.
Sophie didn’t speak much but could keep up with any topic Ross brought up. As he began to know Sophie better, Caleb realized how capable his little sister was and how broad her knowledge base was.
There were things Ross talked about that even he, a physics student, couldn’t follow, yet Sophie could, not to mention being able to hit the nail on the head consistently.
