Chapter 18 Investigating Yu Yan, but she remained silent throughout.
Gan Xiaoxing found it difficult to swallow her meal, her gaze constantly drifting towards Yu Yan. She saw Yu Yan eating so comfortably among the group of big shots, as if she were at home, and even the food in her mouth tasted sour.
...In particular, Xiang Jingheng's gaze always followed her.
There was a time when Xiang Jingheng had no interest in Yu Yan.
She and Xiang Jingheng were very close and knew that Xiang Jingheng's marriage to Yu Yan was simply because the two of them had an accidental sexual encounter, and Yu Yan was "lucky" enough to get pregnant.
As a woman, Gan Xiaoxing strongly suspected that Yu Yan did it on purpose, as the drama of using someone else's pregnancy to climb the social ladder is all too common in the circles of the wealthy.
After all, Xiang Jingheng's status is undeniable, and he's so handsome and dashing. Even socialites from Shangzhou who aren't after his money but only after his looks and physique flock to him.
During his student days, many women pursued him, but Xiang Jingheng only had one woman by his side. They were true childhood sweethearts, inseparable since they were little.
However, she also witnessed firsthand how dejected Xiang Jingheng was after the divorce.
One night, they were drinking in the room. She sat next to Xiang Jingheng, dressed scantily, her knees close to his thighs, chatting with him about everything under the sun, talking about romance and poetry. It looked like things were about to escalate to a point of no return—
Xiang Jingheng looked at her with blurry, drunken eyes and suddenly said, "Your perfume smells so strong. Don't wear so much in the future, it's pungent. Yu Yan never wears perfume, she makes people feel clean and comfortable."
Clean and comfortable—that's how Xiang Jingheng described Yu Yan.
At that moment, Gan Xiaoxing felt extremely panicked.
Her womanly intuition told her that Yu Yan was not insignificant in Xiang Jingheng's heart.
Yu Yan spent three years of her daily life winning over Xiang Jingheng's heart.
Ke Jingheng is a career-oriented man. He is ambitious and destined to make a name for himself outside. Why would he stay at home?
She is the comrade-in-arms who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him!
But now that Yu Yan has returned to China in style, she has suddenly become the person Xiang Jingheng wants to cooperate with.
Gan Xiaoxing felt like the sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed.
What should she do if Xiang Jingheng really establishes a long-term cooperation with WD Research Lab and stops investing in their lab?
Gan Xiaoxing sensed danger once again.
On the way back, Gan Xiaoxing asked Jing Heng, "Everyone knows how difficult it is to get into the WD Research Lab. Which scientist who gets in doesn't have several groundbreaking research achievements? And you have to publish several papers at top international conferences like IEDM and VLSI. These are the basic requirements! If Yu Yan really has these achievements, it will definitely be possible to find out. Jing Heng, if you want to cooperate with her, you have to investigate thoroughly beforehand."
She spoke earnestly and solemnly, thinking of Xiang Jingheng's best interests and fearing that he might be deceived.
Xiang Jingheng frowned and took out his phone. "We'll find out by checking."
Gan Xiaoxing was overjoyed, knowing that Xiang Jingheng had doubts about Yu Yan's identity.
If a person has even the slightest doubt, they will feel that there are loopholes everywhere, and the initial trust cannot be established.
"I'll help you investigate."
Gan Xiaoxing also took out her phone, saying as she checked, "Even if Yu Yan's identity is encrypted, or her family has deliberately embellished her information, there are still some things that can be found. Let me check the journals first..."
She logged into the previous platform and began searching for the name "Yu Yan" with Jing Heng.
To their great surprise, Yu Yan's information had been unlocked, and things that were previously unavailable were now available.
Once searched, all her scientific research achievements, academic publications, patents, awards, as well as the scientific research projects and academic exchanges she has participated in over the years, were displayed.
Lines of proper nouns and titles of papers written entirely in English flashed before my eyes, creating a huge shockwave!
Xiang Jingheng and Gan Xiaoxing were completely stunned, and neither of them uttered a sound.
