Chapter 15: Love-struck Brain Fever Caused His Brain to Fizzle
Xiang Jingheng's face was familiar to everyone present.
The president of Xiangshi Technology is a rising star in the business world. The reason he is well-known in the scientific research circle is because he married Academician Yu's granddaughter and later abandoned her.
The divorce was handled discreetly back then, and many people didn't even know that Yu Yan had gone abroad. It wasn't until the Yu family canceled their cooperation with Xiang's Technology and reclaimed all the patents that everyone realized that Yu Yan had been left with nothing by the Xiang family.
Immediately afterwards, the rumors about Xiang Jingheng and Gan Xiaoxing became a trending topic and spread like wildfire, marking the official dissolution of the marriage alliance between the Yu and Xiang families.
At that time, it had been less than three months since Professor Yu and his wife perished during their Antarctic expedition.
Xiang Jingheng's extramarital affair and the Xiang family's harsh treatment of Yu Yan are undoubtedly kicking her when she's down, which is both infuriating and chilling.
That incident essentially offended half of the scientific research community; the Xiang family underestimated the Yu family's influence within that community.
Although Yu Yan was not in the country, Cheng Yun had told her all these things, so she couldn't understand what Xiang Jingheng was thinking when he brought Gan Xiaoxing to her in this situation to show off their affection in such a high-profile way.
Has being obsessed with love fried your brain?
"Professor Shao, we met yesterday."
Gan Xiaoxing took a step forward, pushed Yu Yan aside, and introduced herself to Shao Muyan with a bright smile.
"I am Gan Xiaoxing, the head of Xiaoxing Research Lab. We have established long-term cooperative relationships with Xiangshi Technology and many other technology companies. Our main research direction is currently the field of microelectronic devices. Our lab is not large, but it has great potential. I have always wanted to learn more from you, Professor Shao. Please give me your guidance."
She was very poised and elegant, and her makeup was exquisite. Among all the formal wear, her white-on-top and black-on-bottom Chanel halter dress was quite eye-catching.
It's said that you can't hit a smiling face, but this was an academic exchange meeting, not an offline social gathering. Gan Xiaoxing's sudden appearance and attempt to get close to Shao Muyan made the whole atmosphere a bit awkward.
Unaware of her own ignorance, she took another step closer as if afraid that Shao Muyan might not have heard her, since he didn't respond.
Shao Muyan frowned.
"This lady."
Si Nan stepped forward at the right moment, stopping Gan Xiaoxing from engaging in unfriendly conversation, and asked Xiang Jingheng behind her with a faint smile, "Mr. Xiang, is this your female companion? Why don't we exchange business cards and have a chance to talk offline?"
As Shao Muyan's eldest disciple, Si Nan was adept at handling interpersonal relationships and very capable, but he also understood his teacher's temperament very well.
Shao Muyan is strict and stern when teaching, but he is quite easygoing, gentle, and approachable in private. He rarely shows disrespect to anyone in public, and it is only someone he dislikes who can make him put up a stern face.
Gan Xiaoxing finally felt a bit embarrassed, and Xiang Jingheng felt even more awkward.
He originally just wanted to come over and exchange a few words with Yu Yan, and he really couldn't stand her and Shao Muyan's public cheek-to-cheek contact, since everyone present knew that they had been married before.
Gan Xiaoxing's sudden rush was also reckless. After all, he had brought Gan Xiaoxing here today, and as a member of Xiang's Technology, he had to be responsible for her actions.
Xiang Jingheng really hoped that Yu Yan could say something to ease the tension at this moment, but she didn't seem inclined to speak. He turned his head and saw her walking in another direction.
"It's almost time, let's take our seats."
Si Nan is quite experienced in chairing meetings, and he is the speaker today.
When inviting the leaders to take their seats, Shao Muyan said something, and Si Nan listened attentively, nodding frequently.
He spoke into the microphone: "Distinguished leaders and teachers, good afternoon. The main topic of today's meeting is the project proposal for novel ultra-low power micro-nano electronic devices. We have also invited the lead team from the WD Research Lab. As you all know, the WD Research Lab has achieved fruitful results in the field of microelectronics in recent years. As the main person in charge of this project, Dr. Yu has made invaluable contributions. Since she is here, we cannot let her go."
Everyone looked in Yu Yan's direction. Yu Yan stood up, nodded, and smiled.
"Dr. Yu, please come to the front."
Si Nan stood upright, looking at his junior sister with pride, and waved to the seat next to Shao Muyan, signaling her to go over.
This grand introduction left both Xiang Jingheng and Gan Xiaoxing completely stunned.
Both pairs of eyes turned to look at Yu Yan.
Dr. Yu?
Who is the principal investigator of major projects at WD Research Labs?
Yu Yan?
How is that possible!
