The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella)

Mr. Belcher pondered for a few seconds upon hearing the proposal and then said, "Since Zane and his team can use it for their research discussions, go ahead and sign it for them. It's not a big deal."

In reality, Mr. Belcher could clearly see Hank's intention, but he did not want to offend the tech institute over a mere authorization document. He considered this as simply doing a favor.

Upon hearing Mr. Belcher's agreement, Calvin's lips curled into a smile. He respectfully acknowledged and then hung up the phone.

He quickly returned to their reserved section of the café.

"What did he say?" Hank asked calmly as Calvin sat down.

Calvin smiled, pulling out the department's seal from his briefcase, "Mr. Belcher said it's fine, and asked me to sign it for you right away."

The assistant sitting nearby glanced at Hank, unsurprised by the outcome.

Soon, the seal was stamped on the last page of the authorization document.

Calvin handed one copy to Hank's assistant and after exchanging a few words with Hank, he seemed to remember something, "Oh, by the way, I heard the DO Group is also very interested in the life data system."

Hank, who was about to leave, stopped at Calvin's words, turning to him in surprise, "The DO Group? How did they find out about the life data system?"

Calvin took a sip of his coffee, "I'm not entirely sure, but it seems like they intend to test it on their fourth-generation robots."

Hank knew that the DO Group had been developing fourth-generation robots since the tech institute had previously collaborated with their R&D department, so he had a slight idea.

Seeing Hank deep in thought, Calvin then asked, "But didn't the DO Group approach your institute? I always thought you knew about this."

Hank's lips formed a casual, light smile, "I hadn't heard about this until now."

With that, Calvin didn't press further, looking at his watch, "Don't you have something urgent? I won't keep you any longer."

Something flashed in Hank's eyes as he stood up, "Alright, I'll be going then. We'll catch up another time."

"Sure." Calvin nodded slightly and stood up as well.

Hank waved his hand, indicating there was no need to see him out, and quickly left the café with his assistant.

Calvin watched Hank leave and then settled back into his seat, not in a rush todeave. He picked up the authorization contract given by Zane, his gaze turning cold, and the next moment, he tore the contract.

Once Hank got into the car, he pondered over what Calvin had mentioned earlier. After a while, he looked up at his assistant driving and said, "You can go to the Intellectual Property Office and coordinate with Grayson."

The assistant glanced in the rearview mirror, "Aren't you going?"

Hank hummed in affirmation, "I need to head back to the institute. Hand over the documents to Grayson and mention speeding up the patent process, ideally getting everything sorted within the next two weeks." noveldrama

"We've prepared the documents thoroughly. Even going through the review process should be quick," the assistant, experienced in patent applications, reassured.

Hank's gaze was inscrutable, "The sooner, the better."
