The Woman Who Caught My Attention

Under the scorching sun, pedestrians on the street moved slowly in the shade, as if the city, baked by the hot sun, had already fallen into a slumber.

The serene streets echoed only with the sound of cicadas.

Suddenly, a car sped from a distance, breaking the silence.

The trees on both sides of the road swayed gently in the wind, creating a beautiful tail flick as the car gracefully parked at the entrance of the Car R&D Center.

The director of the Car R&D Center opened the car door, and a pair of meticulously polished leather shoes touched the ground first.

People who had been waiting outside quickly gathered, and the girls who had been waiting eagerly screamed.

The security guards formed a human shield to create a passage for the VIP inside the car.

Whether he was enjoying the atmosphere or not, it wasn't until the girls' cheers gradually died down that the owner of the car finally stepped out with his second foot from the vehicle.

"Mr. Williams," the center director, who had been waiting for a long time, called out, "the first round of safety testing is about to begin."

Recently, MFC Automotive Company has developed a new energy vehicle with autonomous driving mode. As the first domestically developed model, the company attaches great importance to the safety evaluation before its release. Jerome Williams, as the CEO of MFC, personally participated in the on-site safety rating, demonstrating his concern for the matter.

With five minutes left before the start, Jerome, who should have hurried to the scene, stopped in his tracks. He waved gently towards the girls surrounding the vehicle and asked, "Did you all come here just to see me?"

Unexpectedly, Jerome engaged with them.

The girls were instantly excited, shouting, "Yes!"

Jerome put on an expression of helplessness and then revealed a flawless and charming smile.

"Thank you all for your support to MFC Company.

However, it's a hot day today, so please be cautious of heatstroke."

He turned to his assistant, Celia Green, and said, "Coffee for everyone, please."

With that, admist louder screams, he strode into the venue.

Yvonne Lee, the director of the Car R&D Center, couldn't help but comment on the crowd of girls at the entrance.

"I've heard that you are quite popular on the internet, and you are deeply loved by everyone. Today, I finally witnessed it. Our Car R&D Center is in a remote location, and this is the first time so many people have gathered here. In my opinion, even those celebrities can't match your charisma and influence."

Jerome's mouth quickly curved into a smile before returning to a composed expression.

"Yvonne, you exaggerate. I don't pay much attention to things on the internet."

Yvonne Lee sighed, "It is said that a strong youth leads to a strong nation, and it's not false. It's truly the era of young people now. Under Mr Williams' leadership, the MFC Group's independently developed autonomous electric car, once launched, will mark a new milestone for the development of the domestic automotive industry."

Jerome remained poker-faced but inwardly nodded in agreement.

The flattery made him feel good, and he thought that despite Yvonne's plain appearance, sincerity was her true virtue.

After Yvonne left, Jerome, who claimed not to pay much attention to online matters, swiftly took out his phone, opened Twitter and checked his fan page.

A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He gained five new fans this morning, not bad at all.

After a moment of contemplation, he texted to his assistant Celia: "The matter of buying coffee for fans might trend. Notify the relevant departments to manage the publicity."

There were at most 20 fans here today, even if each person posted 10 Twitter posts, it wouldn't create much of a stir.

However, the boss said it might trend, so it had to trend, even if conditions had to be created.

Celia quickly replied, "Got it!"

Inside the testing room, numerous bright lights illuminated the empty factory.

In the dark corners beyond the lights, a new silver-gray car was parked, resembling a predatory beast lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce.

"What's the first project?"

Jerome stood at the entrance, surrounded by a group of people, with his earmuffs dangling from his hands, looking towards the testing area.

Celia was still busy contacting Twitter customer service, but upon hearing the question, she immediately stepped forward. "40% offset collision test."

The offset collision, simulating a collision between the car and a wall obstacle under the traction of the powertrain, was a test to assess the vehicle's safety.

As soon as the words were spoken, the door behind them was pushed open, and a girl stepped in.

She was in her 20s, with her long hair neatly tied up, revealing a beautiful forehead, and features that exuded a captivating aggressiveness.

After scanning the surroundings, her gaze landed on the man surrounded by the crowd, and she raised her eyebrows, asking, "Are you Jerome Williams, the CEO of MFC Automotive Company?"
