Chapter 217: A considerate, wealthy, and kind old man
Wu Ruoling was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses and shook her head in confusion. It seemed unbelievable to her that a set of clothes would cost tens of thousands of dollars. She couldn't accept it. Could it be made of gold?
Seeing her like this, Yu Yunfei spent half a day explaining this knowledge to her, which opened Wu Ruoling's eyes.
Zhang Wanwan took the three sets of clothes to the bed, stared at the pastel-colored one for a long time, took a photo and sent it to Leng Ziyue, with the caption: A person who does great things quietly!
Leng Ziyue replied almost immediately: Do you like it?
Zhang Wanwan: I like it.
Leng Ziyue: (Come on expression) Looking forward to your performance on Monday.
Zhang Wanwan's heart couldn't help but tremble violently, and she secretly made up her mind to perform well on Monday.
In the next few days, she watched various domestic and international plant research press conferences like crazy. There were many who became famous at a young age like her. She repeatedly speculated on their expressions, movements, behaviors, and the way they spoke. She tried again and again, and her thoughts were already memorized so well that she could recite them subconsciously with her eyes closed or open.
On Monday, the school leaders' official car was parked downstairs of the student dormitory early in the morning.
Zhang Wanwan was wearing a pastel-colored suit with a pair of women's thick-heeled leather shoes in the same pastel color. She had light makeup on her face, her hair was half tied up and half loose at the back, with air bangs hanging down from her smooth forehead. She was carrying a small bag, and she looked like a lady from a noble family. Coupled with her soft and cute temperament, she easily won the favor of others.
Yu Yunfei sent Zhang Wanwan out of the dormitory with tears and snot, just like an old mother sending her daughter off to get married. She said in a pretentious manner, "Girl, you must behave well. I will be watching your live broadcast in the dormitory. You must keep up the good work!"
"Come on!" Others cheered Zhang Wanwan.
Zhang Wanwan smiled at them, nodded heavily, waved, and turned away.
On the way from the dormitory to the dormitory gate, she received another wave of envious looks. When she got on the official car, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked the driver politely, "Uncle, are we going to pick up Professor Zhang now?"
The driver still had some impression of Zhang Wanwan. Hearing this, he chuckled and said, "Yes, we'll pick him up at Professor Zhang's home, and then go directly to the press conference. Zhang, you're amazing. You've achieved so much in your sophomore year. Now our school has heard about it and we know your name. It's really amazing. My child is older than you, and he's still stuck in the middle!"
Zhang Wanwan smiled awkwardly a few times and listened to the driver's flattery all the way to Zhang Chunyan's home.
After picking up Zhang Chunyan, the driver immediately accelerated to the press conference. With Zhang Chunyan in the car, the driver was obviously much quieter, and Zhang Wanwan's ears also became quieter.
Zhang Chunyan took out a report and said to her, "Follow me when we get to the press conference. Just nod and smile politely when you see people. I'll introduce you to you and you can say hello to them. If you meet someone with an aggressive attitude, don't take it to heart. Researchers are all like this. Everyone has a bad temper. We discovered the ancient fruit by accident this time. There are many people who are jealous of us and there will definitely be some who are looking for trouble. We will just have to act according to circumstances."
Zhang Wanwan frowned slightly when she heard this. She thought it was just a high-end press conference with many masters of the plant world. Why did it seem so complicated now? Would the gods and mortals suffer?
As she thought about it, Zhang Wanwan became more and more nervous, but she didn't show it on her face.
Soon the car arrived at the press conference site. The event was held in a famous building in Beijing. Different from the building where the Xia family held the auction last time, this building was for commercial use and did not have the services of a hotel.
The press conference was held on the third floor. Zhang Wanwan found that many reporters and photographers gathered in the lobby on the first floor.
As soon as they see someone coming in, the flash cameras will keep flashing, and if they meet a famous scientific researcher, they will rush over to interview him.
Zhang Chunyan has a certain reputation in the industry, although not as famous as those big names, but because the ancient fruit was discovered by someone on his side, people surrounded them as soon as the two of them stepped into the hall.
"Professor Zhang, what do you think of today's press conference?"
"Professor Zhang, can you tell me a little about the details of the ancient fruit research?"
"Professor Zhang, is the lady next to you the student who grew the ancient fruit?"
Zhang Wanwan was shocked by the scene in front of her, but she quickly remembered to maintain her image. Even though the flash lights made her extremely uncomfortable, she still smiled and nodded to everyone.
Zhang Chunyan only picked one or two questions that could be answered, and then led Zhang Wanwan into the elevator. The reporters were stopped by security guards and could only watch the elevator door close.
Zhang Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Chunyan smiled when he saw her reaction. "If you pursue scientific research in the future, you will encounter this kind of situation many times. If you achieve some small success, it will be even more remarkable. Today's situation is not that big. You have to learn to adapt to it."
Zhang Wanwan nodded obediently.
The elevator went up to the third floor, and as soon as the door opened, two receptionists came to greet them. After Zhang Chunyan showed his ID, the receptionists immediately led them respectfully through another passage to the lounge.
This is the backstage specially prepared for the organizers. Generally, only people with credentials can enter. As soon as the two entered the door, they heard a quarrel coming from inside.
Zhang Wanwan's heart involuntarily rose, and she followed Zhang Chunyan in, holding her breath.
The people inside fell silent when they saw them, but they just looked at each other with dislike, and the air was still thick with tension.
Zhang Wanwan discovered that she had seen one of the people in the quarrel at the Chinese Academy of Sciences before, as well as several other academicians whom she had met once before. In addition, there were several unfamiliar faces, three or four young people, probably graduate students. To be able to appear here, they must be outstanding talents.
She looked at the others, and they looked at her.
The gray-haired old man pushed his reading glasses and smiled kindly, "Oh! This is the little girl who planted the ancient fruit! She is so pretty. We haven't seen such a pretty girl in our business for many years."
"Teacher, you are wrong, it has never appeared!" A young man said with a grin, looking arrogant as if he was not afraid of those academicians at all. Others did not react to his words, as if they had already been used to it.
This discovery once again surprised Zhang Wanwan. Before she could figure it out, one of the academicians who had just quarreled suddenly ran over and pulled her over, "Girl, do you think you cultivated Gu Guo?"
Zhang Wanwan blinked hard. What was going on?
