My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 1703

Noticing that Gary was more elated than upset, both Jack and Wayne thought that their boss might have gotten his

brain fried. Yet, they did not dare to utter a word, and so, they turned around and prepared for class.

Very soon, after school, Ms. Emerson strolled into the class. "Nicole, please stay back for a bit."

After everyone had left, Nicole walked up to the teacher." Ms. Emerson, is there anything that mattered?"

Ms. Emerson then proceeded to ask her in a tone of surprise and excitement. "I heard that you're a computer

whiz?"

She had only heard from the teacher in charge of the training talking about Nicole when school was almost over.

She totally did not expect Nicole to stump Ryder!

Seeing that Ms. Emerson had already discovered the truth, Nicole decided that she had no reason to hide it either. ’

Yes. I used to even enjoy it back then."

Ms. Emerson was elated. "Why didn't you say so earlier? I thought you were just there to make up the numbers. I

can finally be relieved about this!"

'Nicole is amazing and she brings nothing but glory to the class,' Ms. Emerson thought.

"I totally did not expect you to be an expert. If you need any help, you must tell me, okay?"

"Got it, Ms. Emerson." Nicole nodded in reply.

Before leaving, Ms. Emerson did not forget to add, "Oh right, Ryder's teacher was rather unhappy with you in the

teacher's office today. Let me know if he gives you grief."

Ms. Emerson was no longer the trainee teacher whom she once was. Both the head teacher and the principal held

her in high regard, and thus, she was not afraid of anyone and would not allow anyone to bully Nicole.

Nicole felt a surge of warmth upon hearing that. ' Don't worry, Ms. Emerson."

After that, Nicole bade Ms. Emerson goodbye and walked out of the class.

As the production crew had not gotten to the bottom of the matter, Nicole did not need to show up for filming

today, and so, she planned to go home early.

But as she walked out of school, she ran into an unexpected figure.

"Ike, what are you doing here?" she asked in surprise. 'And he is even waiting for me outside of the school's

entrance?'

Ike smiled at Nicole. "Didn't you agree to bring me to the press conference of the manned flying car’s launch?"

Nicole was taken aback. "The press conference hasn't even been scheduled yet."

This was a collaboration with Jared, and the press conference was under Jared's purview. If the press

conference was to take place, he would have informed her in advance.

Ike raised his eyebrow. "You don't know? It's set for three days later. But you've been so busy at school that I

wonder if you even have time to go there."

Nicole frowned slightly. 'Yeah, I might not have the time to go there.'

"So, how about you show me a glimpse of your masterpiece.

If you don't mind, you can take me to the factory or something for a visit."

Nicole stared at Ike and suddenly fell silent.

Ike was slightly surprised. "What's the matter? Is it confidential? If it's too troublesome... forget about it then."

Seeing that Ike looked a little disappointed, and knowing that he was very passionate about inventions, she could

only agree. "Come, let's go. It's nothing anyway."

Coincidentally, she had not visited the base after Jared had completed it.

She also planned to ask him why she was not informed of when the announcement date was set.

After that, she got into Ike's car, and the two headed to the address Jared had left her.

Soon, the two arrived at the base.

Nicole did not anticipate that Jared had actually built such a magnificent factory for Kelly and the others.

Still, the manned flying car now had an Al installed and would undergo mass production after it had been launched.

A factory of this size was indeed necessary, or else, it would be too late for any expansions when the time came.

"I totally did not foresee the scale of your development to be so much bigger than what Mr. Scott had." Ike

commented, his eyes green with envy. "I wish to work at a place like this too."

Nicole shot him a glance. "Well, you're shutting down your workshop, then?"

Ike then sniggered. "I can just move my workshop over here with me, can't I?"

Nicole raised her eyebrow. "Dream on."

As the two conversed, they arrived at the entrance. After declaring her identity, Nicole brought Ike into the place.

Soon, Kelly got the news of them arriving, and proceeded to greet her.

Seeing that Nicole had brought someone else into the premise, she was slightly taken aback, and when she saw

that it was Ike, she immediately rushed forward. "Nicole, why did you bring him here?"

Nicole raised her eyebrow. "He wanted to see the final product of the flying passenger car."

Kelly pouted a little as she came up to Nicole's side and whispered, "Nicole, we are no longer working with Mr.

Harmon already. Won't he return and leak this to him later?"

Nicole raised her eyebrow. "Nah, don't worry. No one can steal our tech.”

Ike wore an awkward look on his face. "I can hear what you two were whispering about, you know.

Nicole, however, calmly turned around and said, "She has the right to be suspicious. You're after all still

collaborating with Mr. Harmon."

Ike was helpless. "But we are friends, right? And since you guys already have the lead, what are you afraid of?"

Kelly was taken aback. "He... has a point..."

In any case, with the progress of science and technology, anything would be developed eventually, so it the

question of who could develop it first was far more important.

Nicole darted her eyes at Kelly. "You're convinced now?"

It was only then that Kelly realized that Nicole was concerned that she would worry too much about this, so she

quickly said. "I... actually do not have an opinion on this.

If you want to bring him inside, just come on in, Nicole."

She believed that Ike and Nicole were friends, and so, he would not backstab her.

Ike's eyes immediately lit up as he looked at Nicole. "See, she agreed."

Nicole gave him a glance and a coy smile in response. "Let's go."

Ike nodded and excitedly followed Nicole into the factory grounds.

Seeing that Ike was like a child who had been given candy, she did not mind his company, as he was indeed a tech

enthusiast.

Soon, the two came to the manned flying car's testing department, where Terry was already in the final stages of

testing.

Unlike the previous ones, the current test were mainly improvements of some minute features, as there were no

longer any major issues.

The manned flying car was rising into the air repeatedly and entering the test track through the glass, and when Ike

saw the Al system at work, he could not help but be amazed." Goodness. Although I've fantasized about how it

would have looked like, it is another thing to see it with my own eyes. Nicole, did you develop that Al system

yourself?"

Nicole shook her head. "No, I got it from a friend."

Carl's family and the Curley Corporation's joint technology was no pushover after all.

"Yes, this is really good. It is already difficult enough to build a manned flying car, but I totally did not expect you to

install an Al system into it. This is like completing two research projects at once. If this is revealed, you'll be winning

awards.

However, she shook her head. "I'm not interested in all of that. The awards that will come with this research will all

go to Terry."

She was already a high-profile figure already, and she just wanted to be a student in peace.

Huh? What the heck? Why didn't you ask me to come along?
