Seeing people walking in this direction, Fang Ting patted Xu Wan's hand, "Come on, I'll find you a place to sit in the back. We can sit down and talk in detail when the meeting is over."
"good."
Xu Wan had no choice but to agree.
Since she's already here, there's no point in her leaving. Besides, several of the CEOs Fang Ting introduced her to showed strong interest in consulting her after learning about her profession, so she's not at a loss.
Because Xu Wan was just an ordinary person, she could only sit in the last row.
The meeting began soon after.
During the meeting, Xu Wan wasn't interested in any artificial intelligence-related topics, so she worked on her laptop.
Until the host on stage said, "Next, please welcome Mr. Ryan from Yuanzhou Technology to speak."
Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
Xu Wan was disturbed by the applause and only then did she look up at the stage.
The man named Ryan was maneuvering his wheelchair onto the stage. He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and had a completely unfamiliar face.
Xu Wan glanced at it once and then looked away to continue working.
Until the man named Ryan spoke up: "Good afternoon, everyone. I am Ryan from Yuanzhou Technology."
Although it was an English name, the man spoke fluent Mandarin with a distinct Northern accent.
Xu Wan's finger, which was resting on the touchpad, suddenly stopped.
This voice sounds so familiar.
Even though she hadn't heard it for four years, she could clearly recognize it when she heard it now.
Xu Wan's pupils contracted slightly as she looked at the information on her laptop screen, but she had no interest in reading the words and dared not look at the stage.
Soon, the man named Ryan continued speaking.
She couldn't understand a word he said about artificial intelligence.
But the voice was so familiar; it was exactly the same as Jiang Tingzhou's.
Xu Wan finally mustered the courage to look at the stage when the man's speech ended with a "thank you".
At this moment, Ryan was already maneuvering his wheelchair to get off the stage.
There were more than a dozen rows of seats between them. At such a distance, Xu Wan could only roughly see the man's facial features.
But she could tell that he looked completely different from Jiang Tingzhou.
Are there people in this world whose voices are very similar?
It's entirely possible.
Xu Wan was absolutely certain of this.
If this person really is Jiang Tingzhou, and he is still alive, why doesn't he return to China?
Xu Wan firmly believed that if Jiang Tingzhou were still alive, he would overcome all difficulties to contact the country and get in touch with her.
so……
Perhaps this person is not Jiang Tingzhou.
But their voices sound so alike.
Regardless of the truth, she was going to see this person later.
Just consider it a way to make myself give up.
The meeting ended quickly.
Xu Wan packed her things and rushed to the front row first. Countless company bosses also walked to the front row, and soon, just like before, they surrounded the man named Ryan.
It was difficult for Xu Wan to get close.
“Attorney Xu,” Fang Ting approached her, “I’m sorry to have kept you waiting so long today, but there’s a cocktail party later, only a small number of people are invited. That’s where I can have a chance to speak with Mr. Ryan, so… I might have to wait until after the cocktail party to talk to you.”
"It's alright, it's alright." Xu Wan looked at the man surrounded by people, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Could you... take me into this cocktail party?"
Fang Ting looked troubled. "This...only those with invitations can enter. I only have one invitation, so I can't take you in."
“I want to see this Mr. Ryan.” Xu Wan could only tell the truth, “His voice sounds a lot like an old friend of mine, and I want to confirm if it is him.”
“Ryan?” Fang Ting smiled and shook her head. “He shouldn’t be someone you know. I’ve inquired and found that although he speaks very good Chinese, he grew up abroad and has never been to China before.”
"Yeah?"
Xu Wan felt a little bitter.
She already knew the answer in her heart, but she refused to face reality.
She looked toward the crowd, remained silent for a long time, and then said, "Ms. Fang, although I can't go into this cocktail party, can I stay at the entrance? I... just want to see what Mr. Ryan looks like up close."
There were too many people around Ryan, and Xu Wan couldn't squeeze in no matter how hard she tried.
Can……
She harbored some fantasies.
If this person really is Jiang Tingzhou, after a long separation, she doesn't want to appear in such a disheveled state.
Even if the hope is so slim it's negligible.
