Chapter 371 Deep Virtual Reality 199
"What kind of medicine is this?"
"They say it can modify the human body and enhance various physical abilities. I heard that twenty years ago, the Shen family leased a tea plantation in the Nanhu District specifically to research this kind of potion..."
"No wonder the fighting in Nanhu District was so intense this time..."
The crowd buzzed with discussion, and Xie Ning leaned in to listen to Sidane and Brenda's conversation. He saw Brenda look in the direction of the Langley family, "So that's why we specifically invited the Langley family here..."
Xie Ning took a sip of his drink, feeling that his information was really outdated. So he smiled and inquired about the details. Since they were from the same company, Brenda and Cidane wouldn't hide anything from Xie Ning.
"The Langley family holds an absolute position in the field of biology, especially with the emergence of two geniuses in this generation, Lillian and Professor Yun Jing. It's just a pity..."
Lillian died too young, otherwise she could probably have created another brilliance.
When it comes to gossip, Brenda's eyes light up. "In the early years, the Langley family was represented by Lillian, and the Langley family had absolute control over Norton Technologies... Later, Yun Jing showed her talent and then officially entered the family's core... She then went to work at Norton Technologies and created many patents."
Although they had different fathers, to outsiders, they were a rare pair of geniuses from the Langley family.
The Langley family made a fortune from Yun Jing. Although Lillian was also a genius, their research directions were different, and Yun Jing had a stronger ability to generate revenue.
“But…” Brenda drawled, her eyes darting around, a hint of cunning in her allure, “In her younger days, Yun Jing’s father and the current head of the Langley family, her mother, had some conflicts. Otherwise, Yun Jing wouldn’t have been brought back after she had already come of age…”
"Cough cough—"
Sidane coughed twice, and Brenda stopped talking, seemingly still wanting more.
Besides Shen Mingwang, Yun Jing also went up to speak. She didn't look well, but after glancing at the people in the corner, she forced a smile and began to introduce the heart tonic with Shen Mingwang.
Xie Ning followed Yun Jing's gaze and saw that the people in that direction were all dressed in fine clothes, their eyes focused on the stage, except for one long-haired boy.
The long-haired boy in the black suit seemed to be immersed in his own world, undisturbed by the voices of others. His dark eyes were lifeless and empty as he indifferently looked at the people in the banquet hall.
For some reason, the others also intentionally kept their distance from him, which created a ring of vacuum around him, so Xie Ning noticed him at a glance.
His eyes only showed a slight change when Professor Yun Jing finished her speech and walked to his side.
"Roy, let's go."
The man in the striped suit following behind Yun Jing glanced at the long-haired boy and asked in a low voice, "Professor Yun Jing, are we just going back like this? There's still a tour to go later..."
“My mission is complete,” Yun Jing said indifferently.
The man in the suit was about to say something more when a command suddenly came through his earpiece. His expression changed, and he forced a smile. "Okay, I'll escort you back right away."
Not far away, Shen Xiuying swung her legs, staring intently at the scene. After the person left, she continued to tie bow after bow on Shen Xiuying's long braid. A waiter walked over and bowed slightly, saying softly, "Miss Shen, Mr. Shen is looking for you."
"Okay, okay."
Shen Xiuying skipped and hopped toward Shen Ming, who was surrounded by the crowd. Her knee-length braids swayed gently with her skirt, making her look very lively.
As she passed a waiter, Shen Xiuying stopped and said, "Please give me a glass of champagne."
The waiter, who was answering the guest's question in a low voice, paused slightly. The guest saw that it was Shen Xiuya, then smiled faintly, indicating that it was alright.
"Hello, which kind of champagne would you like? I can fetch it for you." The tall, slender waiter maintained his smile, bowing slightly as he stood in front of Shen Xiuya, carrying several glasses of pale gold champagne on a tray.
Shen Xiuying raised her fingertips, stopping just before touching the wine glass. Her gaze fell on the waiter's handsome face; to be a waiter at a high-class banquet, one must naturally be outstanding in appearance.
"What's your name?" Shen Xiuying looked the waiter up and down, with an air of superiority.
The waiter remained perfectly composed. "My name is Albert, miss."
lie.
Shen Xiuying nodded. "Okay, I'll remember you."
Despite the ambiguous remark, the young waiter maintained his smile, seemingly accustomed to it.
