My Mommy’s Brave Heart

Chapter 7

from her own family. Her temper flared as she listened to it. However, before Madam Xavier could say anything, a soft voice spoke up. Alden was a quiet boy, but he would not just stand by and do nothing when his mother was attacked. He took a step forward and looked at Richard. “Granduncle, did Xavier Corporation buy the rights for Ander Corporation’s MCP12?” Richard frowned. “How did you know?” “I also know that while that chip promises smooth operations, it’s not perfect and can’t receive many commands. However, if you use AMP1 and RIWE-34, it will improve the chip,” Alden stated coolly. “But if you want the company to get a slice of pie in the AI market, you shouldn’t choose this chip.” He was just four and could not be seen in a crowd of people, but his words made the adults’ expressions change. The younger generation who did not work in Xavier Corporation did not understand what he just said, but Richard and many others did. His assistant had mentioned every single thing the boy said, and he had also thought about modifying the chip, but this was a new market, and even multinational companies could not produce perfect chips. Hence, Xavier Corporation could only make do with the chip they chose. The scorn in Richard’s eyes finally faded away. “H-How do you know so much about it?” When he was four, he was still playing with mud.

He had been interested in computers since birth and was already a hacker at the age of four. Alden had helped her develop the chip. Otherwise, she would not have managed to do it so swiftly. Adina pushed the contract over and said faintly, “Uncle Richard, you should read the description of my chip in the contract first.” Richard opened the contract with complicated feelings. Then, he froze in place. Xavier Corporation had spent three months and hired more than one hundred programmers to develop their chip, but they hadn’t managed to make one that could let them gain a standing in the market. Yet Adina had done it. If the smart chip she developed could really deliver as the contract stated, Xavier Corporation could rise to the top of the IoT market! “Addy, have you sold this chip to any company?” Richard asked with suppressed delight. “Not for the time
