The people in the subsidiary sighed in relief after realizing that it wasn't Byron who came but his wife, Athena, and felt that the knife hanging on their necks finally moved away. As technical people, they didn't have much contact with headquarters.

Their impressions of Athena were all still stuck in the rumored "Miss Newton" period.

Even though they had heard something about Mrs. Crawford's awesome management tactics in the first half of the year, they didn't feel it for real as they hadn't experienced it firsthand.

As they talked about it, they just said, "She's a woman..."

Inside the conference room, Athena had just sat down.

The department supervisor over here then smiled and stood up. "Mrs. Crawford, welcome. We've been checking ourselves for half a month. There is indeed no problem internally. You know that Imbe Al is now developing very rapidly and covers too much with the business we mainly operate..."

"So, is this the result of your self-check? Is the problem with Imbe AI?" Athena looked up at him and interrupted him expressionlessly, "Do you want me to shut down the Imbe Al program in order to salvage your performance, which has fallen extremely for six consecutive quarters?"

The big-bellied man froze.

He then hurriedly smiled. "Please don't be anxious. I don't mean that..."

While speaking, the man looked at Liam and several others for help.

"Devon, there is no Mrs. Crawford here, only Miss Newton," Liam said seriously, "We're not here to chat with you either, but to deal with the problem of your continuous losses here. I hope you can take it seriously."

Devon couldn't strain the smile on his face anymore and sat down unhappily.

Leaning on the chair, Athena looked at the supervisors and managers over here, her fingertips slowly tapping on the desktop.

"So, everyone here recognizes Devon's statement, right?" After five minutes in this way, those scrutinized by Athena slowly turned from relaxed and happy at the beginning to tense, with cold sweat seeping out from the corners of their foreheads.

Then, they heard Athena's calm, even sort of friendly-toned question.

"Although it's a bit of an abdication of responsibility to say so, the application model of Imbe Al did hit us hard."

"Yes. Miss Newton, you can check out the business we used to cover. We also created a lot of benefits for the company before the emergence of Imbe Al!"

The crowd was saying words to the same effect.

As they spoke, Athena listened attentively, not saying a word.

Waiting for their words to fade and disappear, she said calmly, "But you were born in such an age of rapidly advancing information. If you guys don't make progress, there will always be someone else who will speed ahead. Are you guys just going to suffer losses step by step with a whine because of AI? Listen to yourselves. What kind of reason is that?"

"The cell phone brand at the top of the world a decade ago ended up in a low-ball takeover because they didn't innovate. By now, their brand is even more all gone," Liam said, "They can also say that the prosperity of other brands led to the extrusion of their market, so they ended this way. But is it meaningful? They just went bankrupt. If this is what you guys have prepared for half a month to say and show to Miss Newton, the meeting can end here today."

"Mr. Carson! Mr. Carson, we didn't mean that!" Devon said immediately, looking at Athena, "Miss Newton, please give us more time. We'll clarify our predicament!"

"I hope it is a predicament and not a meaningless reason for wasting my time," Athena said faintly.

After these opening remarks, Devon and the others didn't dare to belittle Athena.

Whether she was a man or a woman, she could just decide the fate of their entire company with a single word.
