Claire flipped open the file and was stunned to find that Autumn hadn’t just completed all of Ben Lee’s unfinished work, she had also provided remarkably detailed suggestions, pointing out insights they themselves had never even considered.
“You’re really just a bachelor’s graduate p>
Claire’s eyes were filled with genuine admiration.
All of them-graduates from top schools-had just been outclassed by someone with a mere undergraduate degree.
It was humbling.
“Yeah.” Autumn nodded.
The rest of the team, seeing Claire’s impressed expression, gathered around, curious.
When they saw Autumn’s work for themselves, their jaws nearly dropped.
That slap in the face stung.
They had looked down on her when she first arrived, but now all they felt was the burn of embarrassment.
They’d been worried she’d drag them down.
But clearly, they were the ones who couldn’t keep up.
This wasn’t some clueless rookie-this was a powerhouse, someone leagues beyond their so-called top-tier credentials.
Around three in the afternoon, Autumn received a bank notification-Grace had wired four million.
Right after, a message came in: “Autumn, the money’s been transferred. You’d better destroy all that evidence. I’ve got proof too. If you try to play me, I’ll have you charged with blackmail. It won’t take more than a minute p>
A few moments later, another message arrived: “Also, the cooling-off period is up. You’d better leave on your own. Don’t forget what you promised p>
Autumn replied with a simple “OK” sticker, followed by: “No problem. As long as the money’s in, anything’s negotiable p>
There was no further response.
She put her phone down and got back to work.
Just before the end of the workday, Claire handed Autumn’s completed report to Ethan.
His praise was clear and unwavering.
“Mr. Sharp, Ms. Lewis is incredibly capable. What took Ben several days, she finished in one morning.

“She even gave us detailed suggestions we hadn’t thought of. And she said she’s only got a bachelor’s degree, with no prior experience in the Al field.
“But in my opinion, her abilities are on par with-if not beyond-any of us top graduates,” Claire said honestly.
Given what Autumn had said on her first day, it was understandable that everyone assumed she was a novice.
After all, with only a bachelor’s degree and no background in AI, anyone would’ve thought she was just starting
out.
Who would’ve imagined that the so-called rookie they all looked down on would end up proving herself with such skill and making them all eat their words?
Ethan took the file, skimmed through it, and nodded with satisfaction. “This is only the beginning. You’ll soon see the real difference between talent and effort p>
Claire had to agree that Autumn clearly had talent.
Otherwise, how could someone who hadn’t touched the field for years after graduation manage to offer such unique, insightful perspectives?
Their team had definitely lucked out.
By the time the workday ended, Autumn headed to the underground parking lot with her bag.
Ethan spotted her and walked over.
“Autumn, how are you feeling? Settling in alright p>
Autumn smiled. “Yeah. Getting back to doing something I love is like a surge of energy. I feel great p>
“Good to hear,” Ethan said warmly.
“Mr. Lee is hosting a dinner the day after tomorrow. Come with me. I’d like to introduce you to a few people p>
