Chapter 271
Once seated, he wasted no time and got straight to discussing the collaboration details.
Although Cole had already partnered with Wilson Tech, that collaboration had been handled by someone else from Matteo’s team.
This was actually Johnny’s first time discussing a collaboration directly with Matteo.
During last year’s birthday banquet for Elder Mrs. Miller, when Matteo and Nolan spoke about the Al field, Johnny had already gained some understanding of just how deep Matteo’s knowledge was.
However, back then, Matteo hadn’t spoken with Nolan for long.
Today, however, they had spent nearly three hours discussing Cole’s new–generation chips, the requirements for their computing and reasoning
abilities.
During the conversation, Johnny realized that Matteo’s understanding of Al was far deeper than he had initially thought.
No matter what they discussed, Matteo was never stumped; his knowledge seemed vast.
Johnny even felt that Matteo’s capabilities in this area weren’t any worse than his own.
With this thought, Johnny suddenly felt a twinge of discomfort.
Matteo glanced at the time and said, “It’s almost twelve, shall we continue the discussion this afternoon?”
Johnny replied nonchalantly, “…Sure.”
Matteo spoke again, “How about we grab a meal together? My treat.”
Johnny didn’t seem interested in dining with him. He replied, “Thank you for the offer, Mr. Wilson, but I’m a bit tired today. I don’t feel like going out. I plan to just grab something simple in the cafeteria. You’re free to go ahead.”
Matteo smiled, “The cafeteria is certainly more convenient and hassle–free. If you don’t mind, would you allow us to join you?”
Johnny: “…”
A few minutes later, the group found themselves in the cafeteria at Cole.
Johnny, as the company owner, alongside Matteo, both of whom were strikingly handsome, attracted the attention of many people as soon as they
entered.
Freya was already eating.
She was sitting across from Glen, engaged in a conversation. At first, she didn’t notice Johnny’s arrival.
It wasn’t until she heard someone greet Johnny, calling him “Mr. Gray,” that she looked up and realized not only Johnny but also Matteo had entered
the cafeteria.
Glen also glanced up in response.
When they both looked up, Johnny, Matteo, and Chad noticed them.
Seeing Freya having lunch with Glen, it seemed their relationship was quite close, but Matteo didn’t show any noticeable reaction.
Johnny had, of course, noticed Freya as well.
He gave her a glance, signaling her to eat, assuring her that he would handle the situation with Matteo.
Freya nodded and looked away.

Since the decision to cooperate with Matteo had heen made, Johnny had already planned to take full charge of this collaboration
As for Freya, during the process, he preferred to avoid any meetings between her and Matteo whenever possible,
After ordering the dishes, Johnny led Matteo to a seat far from Freya.
Matteo didn’t voice any objection.
Throughout the meal, he didn’t glance in Freya’s direction.
However, Chad stole several glances at Freya.
He had heard rumors about the situation between Freya and Johnny but couldn’t confirm their authenticity.
This morning, when Freya met Matteo, her attitude had been quite cold, and now in the cafeteria, she still didn’t show any sign of warmth toward him.
It seemed that she had truly let go of Matteo.
He also observed that, even though Freya appeared to be close with Glen, and Matteo and she hadn’t yet married, Matteo seemed unbothered.
This didn’t surprise him.
After all, over the years, he had witnessed just how much Matteo disliked Freya and adored Raven.
