Chapter 864: Chapter 518: So Trivial Matters_1
In the previous tiline, Harrison Clark set the conference date for July 16, 2020, giving only seven days from the initial notification to the actual eting.
This schedule was extrely rushed.
True scientific experts are rarely idle, with their schedules full of commitnts, so even if their travel expenses are reimbursed, they can’t simply drop everything and attend.
At that ti, Harrison’s tight schedule of seven days between notification and eting caused headaches for many people.
Who could refuse an invitation from the author of “The Madman’s Conjectures Collection,” a genius who proposed dozens of epoch-making technological innovations in just a few months?
However, so people were just too busy and couldn’t free up their ti, so they had to send a student as their representative.
...
But what the scholars didn’t know at that ti was that Harrison Clark’s tight scheduling was ant to screen participants.
At that ti, he was only focused on selecting people for the Salvation Association.
To get strangers to believe his theory about the millennium’s End Tis, they had to trust him unconditionally and treat his words like divine revelations.
Such people would drop everything, no matter how pressing, when they heard his call.
This is why he was able to accomplish so much in just one month in the ninth tiline.
Even without realizing it, so of Harrison Clark’s seemingly random decisions actually hid deeper anings.
But this ti, he set the eting for July 20th.
This gave people an additional four days of preparation ti.
It may only be four days, but at least 50% more people can attend.
Centered in Oxfordshire, invitations to the summit flew like snowflakes all over the world, causing a sensation in the scientific community, with countless people feeling proud to receive an invitation from him.
Many people called to express their gratitude, and Harrison Clark only laughed while responding to them, secretly thinking, “I hope you still respect as much as you do now after the 20th.”
…
After all these trivial matters were dealt with, Harrison Clark went alone to Summit Gas’ headquarters.
It may seem like a small matter, but according to the plan, he would plant the seed here that would form the Star’s character in the future.
Thus, his first visit to Summit Gas had far-reaching effects on the future.
Whether he was able to motivate the first batch of employees at Summit Gas and prepare them for 18 years of hard work would directly affect the initial appearance of the Star.
Following the car navigation to the parking lot of an office building, Harrison Clark had a feeling of déjà vu.
Julia Lambert had earlier told him that the office space had been completed, with the structure set up and the initial personnel in place. She had also submitted all the relevant files to him.
At that ti, Harrison Clark had only glanced through the personnel list to make sure that Julia Lambert hadn’t missed any important people from his mories, such as Richey Clark and Angela Hart, two tireless workers.
Seeing that the personnel list was in order, he didn’t even bother to check where Summit Gas’ headquarters were, only knowing that they were not far from the main company.
Now he knew the location.
The headquarters of Summit Gas turned out to be his old haunt.
TM Building.
The headquarters of Chesterton Apartnt Limited Liability Company in Oxfordshire.
Chesterton Apartnt’s office floors were on the fourth floor of the TM Building, occupying 1,500 square ters.
Summit Gas’ office floors were on the eighth floor, and although the company currently had just over thirty employees, Harrison Clark had directly rented the entire floor through Julia Lambert to accommodate rapid expansion.
Just ten months ago, when he was but a humble apartnt manager, he had co to the TM Building many tis for training.
He still clearly rembered the shocking sight of the luxurious decorations at the headquarters of Chesterton apartnt when he first joined and visited the headquarters.
He even rembered more clearly that when he ca to the eting, he took a ride with Linden Brown, the regional manager of Chesterton’s High-tech Zone branch.
In this underground parking lot, after the eting ended and he was supposed to ride back to the office with Linden Brown, the manager tried to extract a kickback from him for the first ti.
At the ti, Harrison had only been working at Chesterton Apartnt’s High-tech Zone branch for less than two weeks, and he didn’t even know the work procedures well yet. He was just a greenhorn who didn’t know anything.
With hardly any money in his own pocket, he couldn’t accept Linden Brown’s advances, so he confronted him right away.
Afterwards, Linden Brown forced Harrison out of his Buick Excelle.
Lost and not knowing his way around the huge underground parking lot, Harrison wandered around in a panic. He didn’t encounter any staff during the whole ordeal and spent more than ten minutes circling before finally finding an exit. By the ti he took three buses back to the office, Linden Brown had deducted fifty yuan from his pay for being late.
Although a long ti had passed, the panic and anger he felt during that ti were still fresh in his mind.
If he hadn’t parked his car here today as well, even soone with a strong mory like Harrison Clark might have nearly forgotten the grievances he had suffered back then.
He wasn’t sure if it was a coincidence or so invisible force in destiny.
“Years later,” he found himself back in the sa place.
As fate would have it, there are many mysteries in this world. The past is the past.Harrison Clark shook his head and walked into the elevator with a relieved smile, pressing the button.
The elevator started to wobble and rise.
Ding dong.
The elevator stopped.
The door opened.
He was about to step out.
But there was a sudden exclamation in front of him.
“Harrison? Ah! Harrison!”
Harrison Clark quickly snapped back to attention, staring straight ahead.
It was a face filled with surprise.
He was familiar with it, but there was also a hint of strangeness.
This woman was the first person he felt kindness from after entering society.
They were once sowhat close friends.
She was one of the few people in Harrison Clark’s gloomy first half of his life that was worth rembering and caring about.
The lovely girl with shoulder-length hair, dressed in a slim-fit suit, stood outside the elevator, her hands tightly clasped, and her eyes filled with joy as she looked at him.
It was Sophia Camp, Harrison’s forr colleague.
When everyone was indifferent to Harrison, she tried to use her enthusiasm to pry open his heart.
But fate is indescribable, and she failed.
In so sense, Harrison also failed.
It had nothing to do with appearance or family background; if there were no feelings, there were no feelings.
Harrison was never the kind of man who would fall for soone just because they pursued him.
When Harrison left Chesterton Apartnt, Sophia took over Linden Brown’s position and beca the temporary head of the High-tech Zone branch company of Chesterton Apartnt.
Looking at her current attire, it seed that she had likely been promoted, and her suit was quite valuable.
So, good people will ultimately receive their rewards.
When Harrison left, he had promised to invite her to dinner and catch up if there was a chance.
But in the blink of an eye, eight or nine months had passed, and he had never contacted Sophia, not even a single phone call or an initiated WeChat ssage.
This was because the two of them no longer had anything in common.
Many tis, people who were once familiar would quickly beco passersby due to social barriers. There are many such passersby in a person’s life.
Harrison grinned, “Hey, Sophia, nice to see you.”
Sophia swallowed and stared straight at Harrison, “Are you… here to see ?”
Harrison glanced at the floor number and realized that he had accidentally pressed the fourth floor button instead of the eighth floor.
He shook his head, “No, I ant to go to the eighth floor.”
Upon hearing this, Sophia’s face turned red. She followed Harrison into the elevator and pressed the button for the eighth floor.
“What a coincidence, I’m going to the eighth floor too,” she said.
Harrison was taken aback, “Uh.”
The elevator doors closed again.
In the small elevator space, there were only the two of them, and the atmosphere was inexplicably a bit silent.
About ten seconds later, Sophia, with her fingers tightly clasped, softly said, “I know you’re engaged now. Congratulations. Avril Green is a good choice, although I think you and Carrie Thomas would have been a better match. Uh… sorry, sorry.”
“Hmm. It’s fine.”
Sophia: “Actually… I have a boyfriend now too.”
“What a coincidence? Congratulations.”
“He works on the eighth floor at your company, Summit Gas.”
Harrison: “Ah?”
