Chapter 483: Academic Exchange Conference (2)

During the first part of the conference, everyone had been seated. As Jian Yiling was seated in the first row, no one else had noticed her.

During the intermission, Jian Yiling had left her spot. As a result, Lu Yuan ended up seeing her.

Professor Huang glanced in the general direction that Lu Yuan was looking at before he said: “Let her be. Her professor abroad thinks highly of her. She should have quite a lot of connections in the industry.”

Professor Hyde was a very influential professor in the medical industry. Internationally, she had a much bigger network than Professor Huang.

Upon hearing her professor’s comment, Lu Yuan didn’t think much further into it. She knew that Jian Yiling was considered a genius. Furthermore, Jian Yiling was highly praised by Professor Hyde.

In fact, Professor Hyde praised her so much that it didn’t seem as though she was praising a student. Rather, it was as though she was praising another professor or even a specialist that was on the same level as herself.

The male student that Professor Huang brought along was a little envious as he commented: “Wow, she’s seated in the front row.”

For the academic exchange conference today, each guest had a fixed seat number. They could only be seated in their assigned spot.

The seats in the first row were reserved by the organizers.

And Jian Yiling was currently seated on the far side of the first row.

Upon hearing this, Professor Huang’s expression stiffened.

Lu Yuan hurriedly tugged on the boy’s sleeve to remind him to be careful with his words.

By stating that, in a sense, wasn’t he just saying that Professor Hyde was much better than Professor Huang? Naturally, Professor Huang wouldn’t be very happy with such a comment.

Only then did the boy realize that he had said something wrong. He hastily shut up.

However, Jian Yiling hadn’t paid attention to any of the people that were seated behind her. She listened to the first half of the conference before she headed backstage.

Huo Yu was also at the backstage of the academic conference.

Huo Yu had quite a hard time in the past three years.

He had to do all the dirty work for the company. He was busy all day and all night.

The reason for his huge workload was because he hid the fact that Jian Yiling was a high-end player in their game. It was just because he hadn’t informed Jian Yuncheng about it!

And thus, that bastard took it personally and tortured him in this way!

If he were to live in a historical palace drama, he would be a low-ranking concubine that was being tortured by the queen! In fact, instead of a low-ranking concubine, maybe he was a palace maid!

Whilst Huo Yu cursed at Jian Yuncheng, he still ended up taking on extra work. And thus, he arrived in Beijing.

Of course, Huo Yu wasn’t here today because he received an invitation to the academic exchange conference. His work had nothing to do with the medical profession.

However, he was here to help with the technical support. As the organizers had particularly high-security requirements for the venue, they had asked Huo Yu to come over to do them a favor. They asked him to make sure that their security system was up to scratch.

Then, Huo Yu saw Jian Yiling.

Although they hadn’t seen each other for years, Huo Yu had seen plenty of pictures and videos of Jian Yiling.

It couldn’t be helped. Jian Yuncheng basically forced him to look into his sister’s matters every now and then.

However, in the past three years, nothing much had happened to Jian Yiling. Her profile was way too simple. The only things that he could find online were related to what she was doing in university. She had gotten into a foreign university, finished her undergraduate degree, and started her postgraduate degree.

Yiling was here?

Huo Yu was quite surprised. It appeared as though Jian Yuncheng’s sister was quite the academic. She was even dedicated enough to listen to this boring conference!

Jian Yunmo and Jian Yiling were going to blaze through the medical industry together!

Huo Yu immediately walked towards Jian Yiling.

When the middle-aged man saw Huo Yu approaching, he hurriedly ended his conversation with Jian Yiling.

As Huo Yu approached, he only managed to hear a few words of their conversation. There was something about a ‘dean’ and something about an ‘examination’.
