Chapter 136

Rhy had no intention or desire to change investors.He had already met a lot of entrepreneurs from new
companies in the past year.

The financing was the only way for each company to become stable and strong.

However, none of the investors were as direct and honest as Katherine was.He used to have a senior
brother who started his own business.

But due to the excessive interventions of investors a few years ago, all of his efforts went down the
drain.

Ever since Katherine invested in Anthem App, she had never intervened in any decision-making and
affairs within the company, apart from checking business reports for each month and asking her
secretary to pay attention to the process of product development.

Rhy wanted nothing more than to continue working alongside Katherine.

The expression on his face lightened and relaxed upon hearing Katherine's words.

Rhy had just graduated from his university approximately five months ago.

He was no longer as naive and innocent as he was before he stepped into the real world five months
ago.

Real business deals were more favorable and fairer to new entrepreneurs such as him.

They showered Katherine with the greatest kindness and sincerity as she showed them the fairness
that they desired.



"Ms.Wilson, this is the annual report and user tracking information that was collected, '' Rhy said as he
handed her the documents.

"You order"' she told him.

"I don't eat heavy or food with strong flavors.Please order food that has a lighter flavor as I prefer
them.” Rhy stared at her with his mouth agape.

For a moment, he didn't know how to react.Katherine had asked him to order for them.He blinked a
couple of times before he finally collected himself.

Katherine reached for the document that he handed over and then started reading them.

Rhy didn't want to disturb her any longer, so he just looked through the menu once again, keeping
Katherine's preference in mind as he ordered four dishes.

Katherine had a very good memory span, and she almost never forgets anything.

Furthermore, she was particularly good at remembering numbers.

As a matter of fact, Celine would always organize the data of the apps that weren't developed every
month to let her look through them.

The data that Rhy had submitted to her was similar to the one before.

"We've gotten quite a lot of downloads this November” Katherine stated.

She still flipped through the papers and then finally looked up to him as she continued, "Is it because of
the Internet privacy incident?"

Rhy was taken aback as he stared at her for a couple of minutes.



He cleared his throat and then recovered.

"Yes,"

He looked up at Katherine, his face straight and serious.

He nodded and then lowered his gaze down to the table.

He hesitated a little before he said, "Miss Wilson, that matter did affect our downloads.You can see the
obvious change in the data: the download volume of our app and participation of the users in August
and September were the highest."

He paused.

He took a deep breath and continued, "After mid-November, due to the Internet Privacy incident, the
increase in the download volume for the app has obviously slowed down, while the unloading volume
has increased three to five times more than it used to.”

"So, you spent money to get people to download and register for the app?" Katherine looked up at him
as she tilted her head to the side.

Rhy looked up at her and quickly looked down as he met her gaze.

He pursed his lips and decided not to talk any further.

Though he still looked proud and smiling, it was already obvious that they were not as genuine as they
were a couple of minutes ago.

Rhy had no idea how to deny what Katherine had concluded as she stared at him.

He also knew that if he decided to tell her false information, she would very much hate it.



"I am a businesswoman, Mr.Scott.You should know that very well'’ Katherine stated.

Her voice was monotonous, and she kept her eyes on him.

"I invested in this company because I wanted to earn money.My goal is very simple: to earn money”

"You are a top student from a famous school.I think your purpose of starting a business instead of
finding a job is so much more than just earning a little bit of income…” Katherine paused and then
continued, "I take it that you're not only doing this for a small amount of money.”

"I don't like talking about my goals and dreams with others’' Rhy answered.

"But I do think that if you don't respect your dreams, others will look down on you even more."
Katherine's grin had faded.

"You know, back then, there was no chance for your proposal to pass the final stage of review in Future
Technology.But I thought highly of you and your company, so I approached you privately.Not only
because you were young but also because of your sheer passion and Zeal in doing things.I saw the
future in you and your company.'

"But now” Katherine paused.

She looked at him and then continued, "the future that I once saw in you and your company is now
becoming more and more blurry and unclear” Rhy dipped his head slightly as he muttered, "Miss
Wilson, I'm sorry...'

"Mr.Scott, I'm not blaming you or scolding you for anything right now” Katherine informed him.

Her brows lifted, and her expression lightened.

"I'm just giving you suggestions as an investor.”



"You've still got four months until the end of the year'’ Katherine added.

She collected the documents from the table and then handed them back to Rhy.

"I hope that you can show me the same excellence and determination that I once saw before in you."

The waiter came with the tray of their dishes as soon as Katherine finished speaking.

She picked up the pitcher of Iced Tea and then poured herself a glass of it as she said, "It's already
getting late.Come on, let's eat."

As Rhy looked at her, his mouth opened, but no words came out as his gaze fell on those dazzling
peach blossom eyes.

He closed his mouth and swallowed back his words in the end, unable to speak again.

Katherine looked carefree and relaxed as she knew everything was under her control.

Rhy knew that whatever he would try to tell her would only sound like an excuse.

He pursed his lips and sat in silence.

Katherine also dropped their previous topic and then poured her attention on eating instead.
