Chapter 79 She is Frank
Jiang Yao was simply speechless.
"When have I ever bullied anyone? If you're blind, go to the ophthalmologist. If you're mentally ill, go to the psychiatric department!"
She retorted bluntly.
Dong Chenli seemed to have just reacted at this moment and hurriedly explained to Lu Xuan.
"Mr. Lu, that's not the case. I made a mistake myself. It has nothing to do with Miss Jiang. You misunderstood."
The more considerate she was, the more Lu Xuan wanted to protect her.
"Chen Li, you don't have to defend her. I saw with my own eyes that she was bullying me. You kept begging her, but she was still aggressive. Such a cold-blooded woman doesn't deserve your apology."
Jiang Yao now saw something.
It was obvious that these two people knew each other before.
She was too lazy to argue with such a person and said impatiently.
"Lu Xuan, what does this have to do with you? What position are you in to question me now?"
Lu Xuan snorted coldly when he heard this.
The next second, he suddenly reached out and put his arm around Dong Chenli's shoulders, pulling her into his arms.
"Then let me tell you, Lili is my girlfriend. What? You're the only one who can have a boyfriend, but I'm not allowed to have a girlfriend?"
He deliberately raised his proud head and spoke boastfully, while carefully observing Jiang Yao's expression.
I wanted to see a little jealousy or envy on her face.
However, Jiang Yao just felt confused.
"Who said it's not allowed? You can have as many girlfriends as you want. Congratulations, and I wish you a happy marriage. Just don't bother me anymore."
After saying that, she didn't want to argue with them anymore, so she pulled Li Beiting aside and left directly, sitting down to listen to the speech.
Seeing that she really didn't care, or even seemed indifferent, Lu Xuan felt both angry and furious.
"that……"
Dong Chenli spoke slowly at this time: "Master Lu, you don't have to be angry with Miss Jiang because of me. Thank you for helping me out just now, but it was indeed my fault. I should apologize, as long as I don't have to pay."
She spoke very frankly, still as obsessed with money as ever.
But he didn't take the word "girlfriend" seriously at all.
If it were any other woman, she would have been ecstatic and would have climbed up the pole to become Lu Xuan's woman.
But she is different.
While Lu Xuan admired her, he also comforted her with some heartache.
"Don't be too sad. After all, Jiang Yao is just a student. Didn't she come to attend the lecture today? Why do you act so high and mighty? Don't feel inferior to her. She's nothing special."
He disparaged Jiang Yao with disdain, as if only in this way could he find peace of mind.
The next second, Mr. Song, who was giving a speech on the stage, suddenly announced happily.
"Next, I would like to invite a student I am very optimistic about, Jiang Yao, to come to the stage and share your professional experience. Please welcome him with applause."
After he finished speaking, Lu Xuan, who had just looked disdainful, became stiff and stunned.
Not to mention Lu Xuan, even Jiang Yao himself was shocked.
She never thought that she would have such an opportunity to give a speech on stage, and was personally invited by such an academic leader.
Just as she was in a daze, Li Beiting beside her gently touched the back of her hand.
"Remember the other information I sent you last night?"
The warm touch felt like an electric current, causing a tingling sensation.
Jiang Yao subconsciously turned his head and met Li Beiting's encouraging eyes.
"Just explain them one by one according to the categories above. You are good at mechanical engineering, so just go with the flow. Don't be nervous."
Jiang Yao suddenly realized that the information he sent to him yesterday was in preparation for today.
Such an opportunity is definitely an unprecedented breakthrough for her!
Amidst applause and gazes, Jiang Yao walked onto the stage with somewhat stiff steps.
Below the stage, Lu Xuan came back to his senses and looked at Jiang Yao's nervous expression with a sarcastic look on his face.
"Oh, I don't believe she can speak that well. Can she even compare to Professor Song?"
Speaking of which, although Jiang Yao was called a genius when he was in school, Lu Xuan always thought that it was an exaggeration by the outside world.
The main reason was that Jiang Yao behaved so humbly in front of him at that time, and there was no aura of genius at all.
Therefore, two years later, he became even less confident in Jiang Yao's abilities.
On the stage, Jiang Yao took the microphone under the kind gaze of Mr. Song.
Facing the attention of hundreds of scholars and teachers, Jiang Yao's heart beat violently and his throat felt dry.
One could even hear some whispering, "Why hasn't she spoken yet?"
"Is he so nervous that he forgot the words?"
Jiang Yao was indeed very nervous.
I was afraid that a mistake would bring shame to my alma mater, my mentor, and my classmates.
Until her eyes met Li Beiting's deep gaze below the stage, it was like a calm valley, full of peace and silence.
Her wildly beating heart gradually calmed down.
Her expression returned to calm and she spoke slowly into the microphone.
"Thank you, Mr. Song, for giving me the opportunity. What I want to share with you is..."
Her voice is clean and her speeches sound like those of a professional broadcaster, with ups and downs in her voice, making the professional content lively and interesting.
The scholars in the audience were inattentive at first, but soon became more and more engaged until she finished speaking.
The whole audience was silent for a few seconds before slowly coming to their senses. Suddenly, there was a thunderous applause filled with sincerity.
"He's so young, yet he can speak so brilliantly and meticulously. He's truly a genius."
"The future is limitless!"
Only Lu Xuan and Dong Chenli's expressions turned extremely ugly.
Dong Chenli clenched her hands hanging by her side, and a hint of jealousy flashed quickly in her eyes.
But soon, her expression changed and she exclaimed in appreciation.
"It turns out that Senior Sister Jiang Yao is really so outstanding and capable. I really can't compare to her. It's no exaggeration to say that there's a world of difference between us."
The more outstanding and dazzling she was, the more panic Lu Xuan felt in his heart.
Dong Chenli observed the expression on his face and suddenly spoke as if she had an epiphany.
"I understand, Mr. Lu. I've heard that you are Senior Jiang's ex-boyfriend. Do you still like her and want to win her back?"
Lu Xuan seemed to have been hit on the heart for a moment, and before he could utter a rebuttal, Dong Chenli continued with a smile.
"You're so outstanding, thoughtful, and devoted. You're actually a perfect match for Senior Jiang. If you really still like her, I can help you. After all, you've been so generous to me. Consider it my way of repaying you. How about that?"
When she finished speaking, there was a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
Lu Xuan felt a little shaken.
…
After Jiang Yao finished his speech, he stepped down from the stage and walked up to Li Beiting with sparkling eyes, as if waiting for his comments.
Li Beiting chuckled and said, "It's not disappointing."
"You speak very well, I know you can."
I have heard the same compliment from others before, but for some reason, Li Beiting's compliment sounded particularly pleasant.
It made her heart feel as sweet as if it were filled with honey.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when I finished the lecture.
Everyone was a little reluctant to leave.
Because Li Beiting and Professor Song still had something to talk about, Jiang Yao stayed behind, intending to wait for him to leave together, but the familiar figure came in front of her again.
"Senior Jiang."
