Chapter 2107
In the world of advertising, keywords were the new currency, and those who could manipulate them were akin to alchemists of old.
There were many trying to strike gold in this field, but few who truly understood the art of systematic application.
Just a while back, Jamie was cooped up at home, bored out of his mind, so he decided to make a series of keyword phrases and put them up for sale on a website.
The man was a pro, and his phrases were like magic wands in the world of online advertising.
In just two weeks, he had raked in a cool hundred grand. But the mental gymnastics wore him out. After two weeks, Jamie threw in the towel.
When Elvis bid farewell to Gaylord and Cory, he did so with even more reverence than when he had welcomed them.d2
"Today has been incredibly enlightening," Elvis declared with genuine appreciation. "If Blue Horizon Enterprises can rise from the ashes and thrive once more, I'll owe a massive debt of gratitude to you!" Gaylord exchanged pleasantries and glanced back to see his prized apprentice already buckled up in the car, iPad in hand, ready to dive into competition problems.
Pride swelled in Gaylord's chest. He had feared Cory would be buried in books, but the kid was proving to be well-rounded and exceptional in every way.

Once they departed, Elvis let out a long sigh of relief and marched back inside. His words about gaining immensely from the encounter were, in no way, an exaggeration. Before, faced with continuous losses, his mind was a blank slate. But now, he at least knew which direction to steer the ship. Blue Horizon Enterprises couldn't afford to fear the disruption brought on by Bane Corporation's Al.
Instead, they needed to find a way to integrate deeply with Bane Corporation's Al. As long as Bane Corporation's Al prospered, so would Blue Horizon Enterprises. Beyond the partnership with Bane Corporation's Al, he needed to actively expand into other ventures.
As Elvis strolled back to his office, his gaze swept over familiar faces.
It was time to excise the festering wounds that had plagued Blue Horizon Enterprises for years.
Only by placing talent where it truly belonged could the company branch out into new ventures and break new ground in their innovative project with Bane Corporation's Al.
That afternoon, a ripple went through the tech community.
Blue Horizon Enterprises, after six straight quarters in the red, had finally made the tough call to downsize - cutting two-thirds of their workforce, sparing no department. The days of the Blue Horizon Enterprises being the retirement home for coders were over.
At the same time, almost every top head-hunter received a hiring brief from Blue Horizon Enterprises.
When Gaylord relayed this news to Cory, the young man had just reached home.
Paige greeted him with joy, "Cory, darling, you're finally back! Your dad has been waiting to video chat with you as soon as you got home!"
