Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1614

When the entire project came to a perfect conclusion, the two sat in front of the computer, preparing to fill in the first and second author names on their research paper. John turned to Emmy, his tone incredibly sincere.

"Emmy, I highly recommend you take the first author position," he said. He truly believed that without Emmy building that flawless underlying logic, his own abilities would never have been enough to construct such a massive, precise framework. "Besides, even as the second author, the sheer value of this project is more than enough to guarantee my graduation."

Emmy shook her head without a moment of hesitation. Looking at John seriously, she laid out her logical refusal.

"First of all, this is your graduation thesis. Taking the first author spot will be immensely beneficial for your future career in academia. Secondly, the most striking part of this research is the framework you built. No matter where this goes, the professors and experts will be immediately blown away by your architecture. Therefore, you must take the first authorship. You earned it."

Neither of them was willing to back down. Just then, the glass door was pushed open. James walked up behind Emmy, naturally resting his large hand on her shoulder as his deep gaze fixed on John.

"My wife is absolutely right," his rich, commanding voice carried an unquestionable persuasive power. "In the future, Janus Sphere Technologies will fully implement this research and launch it into commercial application. My wife has her own upcoming projects to handle, so she will not have the time to lead the commercial rollout." He paused, his dark eyes locking onto John with an intimidating presence. "John, you have already signed with Janus Sphere Technologies. Therefore, I have decided to put you entirely in charge of leading this massive experimental rollout. You must take the first authorship. Only by entering my team as the lead author will you command enough authority and respect."

John stared blankly at the formidable man before him, feeling a mix of shock and utter disbelief. "Can I truly handle such a massive experimental project?"

The moment the paper was submitted, it sent an immediate shockwave through the international academic community. Professors from countless top-tier universities and heavyweight industry experts poured in their highest praises. One authoritative academic journal even published an overnight article declaring that this paper would alter the trajectory of AI ecology for the next decade, calling it a milestone breakthrough.

At that time, Emmy was curled up on the sofa, discussing with James where they should go for a relaxing vacation. Right in the middle of their planning, she received a call from her mentor, Dominic. Dominic told her that Capital College was demanding her return. Not only had they already prepared a state-of-the-art laboratory for her, but they had also handpicked a batch of their brightest graduate students, just waiting for her to come back and lead the practical application of her research.

What Emmy did not expect was that Capital College would move far faster than she could have ever imagined. The very day after the paper was submitted, Capital College sent a special appointment letter straight to Harvard University. It was not a standard invitation. It was an official letter of employment jointly issued by the dean of her department and the academic committee at Capital College. Printed right on the document was Emmy's brand new title: Young Doctoral Supervisor.
