Lu Yunshen's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't stop walking, seemingly nonchalant.
Lin Ziyan glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and followed him to the dessert area.
Exquisite Western-style pastries are arranged on a multi-tiered plate, with fresh flowers and desserts placed together.
The white crocheted tablecloth adds a touch of luxury and vintage charm.
Lin Ziyan felt that the banquet setup resembled a banquet scene from a spy movie.
Amidst the clinking of glasses, a small group of people chatted idly. The men were impeccably dressed in suits, and the women wore exquisite gowns with their hair styled in an updo.
A crystal chandelier hangs overhead, shimmering with light.
The high heels clicked on the red carpet without making a sound.
Lin Ziyan sat at a small table in the rest area, watching the people in the banquet hall and munching on pastries.
Lu Yun Shen sipped his red wine, his gaze sweeping over the others, showing no interest in anyone.
He's here at tonight's banquet to support his teacher.
"Would they really cause trouble for Professor Yu?" Lin Ziyan watched for a while and felt that everyone's smiles were quite hypocritical.
They may look respectable, but only they know what they're really like.
Lin Ziyan was seething with anger and felt like stabbing Diwen a few times when she saw him.
The more she suppressed her frustration, the more agitated she became.
She unconsciously exudes an aura that makes people afraid to approach her, but she is unaware of it.
Lu Yunshen's lips slowly curved upwards, and the dark light hidden deep in his eyes dissipated.
He smiled faintly and said, "Soon."
The real show hasn't even started yet tonight; the person who reported Professor Yu hasn't arrived.
A band took to the stage, and their melodious music filled the banquet hall.
Professor Yu was chatting with President Chen of Fujishi University.
"Aren't you good friends? You don't seem to know each other very well." Principal Chen spoke softly, his eyes gentle.
Professor Yu's smile faded slightly: "Who's his good friend? It's just a misunderstanding."
Principal Chen, you should draw a clear line in time to avoid getting yourself into trouble.
The two appeared to be chatting casually, but the atmosphere was unusually tense.
Principal Chen: "What do you mean?"
Is there something wrong with Devin?
His heart clenched painfully. If it really turned out that Devin had a problem, he would have tried everything to keep him...
Principal Chen was terrified, but dared not show it on his face.
Professor Yu left it at that and did not respond.
Devin's contract is expiring, and he'll definitely try to do something or get what he wants before he leaves.
He's a lab fanatic; once he sets his mind on a project, he'll relentlessly pursue it, using any means necessary to understand and thoroughly research it.
Fujiichi must have something he wants, otherwise he wouldn't have made himself suffer by staying here for so long.
"Tsk, who is this?"
A familiar voice came from inside. Professor Yu narrowed his eyes and looked towards the door.
Even from this distance, his eyes are so sharp; it seems he's been doing quite well these past few years.
"Chang Sheng?" Principal Chen saw the person who came in, quickly turned to look at Professor Yu, and shook his head slightly.
He didn't invite the person; everyone knows that Professor Yu and Professor Chang from Tsinghua University are rivals.
Those who send out invitations to such banquets will avoid any taboos.
After returning to China, Professor Yu developed many things at Tengyun Technology, and now his research and development are being used in airports, ports, train stations, and other places.
Chang Sheng had been teaching at a university and didn't have any outstanding technical skills.
The two are simply not on the same level.
But Chang Sheng didn't think so. He thought, "So what if my former defeated foe has returned to China? Can his connections be as good as his?"
Professor Yu did not consider Chang Sheng an opponent; a mere armchair strategist was not worthy of being considered an opponent.
"Old Yu, welcome back to China. It must have been tough abroad, right?" Chang Sheng straightened his back, a smile playing on his lips, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and continued.
"Back in the day, you were the face of Tsinghua University, but who would have thought you'd have to flee abroad to work as a waiter..."
Chang Sheng smiled enigmatically, sizing up Professor Yu.
Principal Chen pursed his lips, and his gaze towards Chang Sheng instantly changed.
He had previously considered recruiting this person to Teng City, since the treatment here was no worse than that at Tsinghua University.
Fujishi's climate is more suitable for retirement.
In hindsight, it's fortunate we didn't dig.
What kind of skill is it to be quick-witted and argumentative? Professor Yu has already proven himself with his abilities.
Professor Yu wasn't angry: "Chang Sheng, you don't actually think you can always win, do you?"
"Pfft!" Su Nan burst out laughing.
The onlookers, who had been holding back their excitement until their faces turned red, suddenly broke down in their suspense.
Chang Sheng squinted: "You're still as quick-witted as ever."
Why didn't you defend yourself before fleeing abroad?
He loves to rub salt into people's wounds; the deeper he digs, the more enraged he becomes.
In terms of expertise, Professor Yu is impeccable.
But he has a bad temper and can't stand being provoked. Once provoked, he's like dry tinder that's ignited, and the fire flares up instantly.
In the past, Chang Sheng could easily provoke his anger with just a few words, causing those around him to criticize him.
But this time…
Chang Sheng frowned. The person in front of him was still laughing, and the laughter of the people around him seemed to be mocking him, but why were they looking at him?
Professor Yu remained calm and slowly said, "Of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best. I'm not that stupid as to wait for someone to come and arrest me."
Besides, you know much better than I do what happened back then.
Chang Sheng's eyes were brimming with anger, which he suppressed.
Did you become a master after going abroad?
The way people looked at Chang Sheng instantly changed, filled with disdain and mockery.
"How can someone like that be allowed to appear at an exchange meeting?"
"I've heard some of what happened back then. It was Chang Sheng who reported Professor Yu. They were good friends back then..."
"Weren't there plenty of treacherous people back then? Humph, one more won't make a difference."
"Why wasn't he found during the subsequent thorough investigation?"
"..."
Everyone spoke freely, without any reservations, right in front of him.
Chang Sheng's face was gloomy, and he clenched one hand behind his back.
But he quickly regained his composure: "Where's your student? I heard you're working for one now?"
Professor Yu raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "When I was young and impetuous, I was always led by the nose by the person in front of me. Now I've made Chang Sheng so angry that his hands are shaking."
My face has been twitching several times. Should I go to the facial emergency room tonight?
Smoking like this all night will definitely give me facial paralysis...
"Is Professor Chang looking for me?" Lu Yunshen walked over to Professor Yu and stood next to him.
Time waits for no one; looking at him, Chang Sheng appears to have aged considerably compared to his teacher.
Professor Yu smiled and said, "Aren't you all curious lately about which company developed the new technology at the airport?"
Everyone's heard of Tengyun Technology, right?
Lin Ziyan looked at Professor Chang with great interest, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
Is he that acquaintance?
Together with Devin, under the guise of being friends with Professor Yu, they hypnotized Yun Shen right under the noses of the Lu family.
Devin watched the spectacle from the sidelines, acting as if it were none of his business.
Chang Sheng didn't look in his direction, pretending not to know him.
"Impossible, Tengyun's boss is from overseas..." an elderly man nearby said with certainty.
Chang Sheng's smile froze. Tengyun wasn't a foreign company; it was registered in China.
He received the information before coming to Teng City.
