Chapter 209 Give Him a Perfect Wife
Many people gradually arrived at the villa.
First, the Shao family arrived, followed by many other figures whom Yu Yan had never met before but were very familiar with.
For example, Cheng Xian, a renowned criminal defense lawyer in Beijing; Quan Yeqian, the heir of the Quan Group in Nancheng; Bai Luyu, the young master of the Bai Group; and film emperor He Shen and film queen Shu Ying...
Yu Yan was astonished as she looked at the beautiful faces and listened to Shao Muyan's introduction of them.
I never would have guessed that these families, which seemed to have nothing in common, were actually all from the Nan family.
They are all Nan Song's older brother and sister-in-law, and also Nan Song's mother, President Luo's, children.
No wonder Song Cheng said that President Luo is a goddess-like woman.
"Third Master."
Everyone came over to shake hands with Shao Muyan, and each person looked at Yu Yan and added, "We've finally met the legendary beautiful scientist."
To Yu Yan, they are very famous people, but to the Nan family, Yu Yan is the real star.
Today, no scientist leading the field of chip design is unfamiliar with Yu Yan.
Nan Song affectionately put his arm around Yu Yan's shoulder and joked with everyone, "My mom called me this morning. When she heard that we were coming to Shangzhou to see Yu Yan, she was so jealous that she said we met her idol before she did."
"There's nothing we can do about it. Who told her to go and have fun with her older brother and sister-in-law at this time?"
Ji Yun is Nan Song's fourth brother and is an internist.
He leaned against Cheng Xian on his left and stood close to Song Cheng on his right like "best buddies." His handsome face radiated sunshine when he smiled. "I asked her to get Professor Yu's autograph, but she refused, saying she would come back in person to get it. It's such a hassle."
Yu Yan blushed with embarrassment at everyone's comments, perfectly embodying the idea that "i" is "e"'s toy.
But she could sense that the Nan family's compliments and admiration for her were all genuine and well-intentioned. She was shy, but not at all uncomfortable.
She doesn't need to respond; Shao Muyan and his family will speak on her behalf.
The living room was carpeted, and some people sat on the floor while others sat on the sofa, forming a circle.
The room was very warm from the underfloor heating, and it was very relaxing to sit around the stove and brew tea.
However, the topic we're going to discuss is not easy.
Shao Yun's background was no secret to the Nan family. Shao Muyan took the initiative to explain the whole story of what he and Yu Yan had experienced back then, and who had switched the two children.
To Yu Yan's surprise, what seemed like a ridiculous story to anyone else only made the Nan family angry. They felt sympathy for Shao Muyan and Yu Yan, and even more sorry for the two children who had been switched, but they didn't find it hard to believe.
Instead, they quickly accepted this fact.
"Who exactly is this Mei Nan?" Nan Song asked in a deep voice.
Yu Yan glanced at Shao Muyan, who then stood up and distributed the pre-printed materials to everyone.
"This is all we know about Meinan."
As soon as Shao Muyan finished speaking, Yu Yan quickly added, "Mei Nan was my college classmate. She's a person with strong goals and execution skills, someone who will stick to her path no matter what. In terms of intelligence, she's no less than me, and in terms of cunning, she's superior to me, but..."
At this point, Yu Yan paused, "Her life isn't as good as mine."
Everyone looked up and gazed at Yu Yan.
Shao Muyan patted Yu Yan's arm.
Nan Song quickly scanned the documents, catching some important information: "Her mother, Aunt Mei, worked as a maid in the Xiang family?"
"yes."
Yu Yan thought for a moment and then said, "Mei Nan is a very ambitious person. She received many job offers when she graduated from university. Instead of studying abroad, she chose to stay in China to pursue her master's and doctoral degrees. She joined Xiao Xing's research lab and became Gan Xiao Xing's protégé, being suppressed for many years. In the past, I never understood why she was willing to be a supporting character to Gan Xiao Xing, but later..."
“Gan Xiaoxing repeatedly provoked me. Her downfall was the result of my collaboration with Mei Nan. After Gan Xiaoxing's failed assassination attempt and subsequent arrest, Mei Nan took over her research lab and became its manager, as well as Xiang Jingheng's right-hand woman.”
After hearing the inside story, Nan Song thought for a moment and said, "Since Gan Xiaoxing is a person with strong goals and objectives, let's work backward from the result. She wanted to become Xiang Jingheng's right-hand woman, wanted to make a name for herself in the scientific research circle, but didn't want to be too high-profile and attract attention, so she chose to keep a low profile, entered Gan Xiaoxing's research lab, and lay low quietly."
Lin Miao clicked her tongue.
"Gan Xiaoxing is such a good-for-nothing, Mei Nan has been able to work for her for so many years, she's very tolerant."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
He's intelligent, cunning, and adept at disguise and forbearance; no wonder he's so difficult to deal with.
Actress Shu Ying suddenly asked, "Does Mei Nan like Xiang Jingheng?"
Yu Yan looked over at Shu Ying.
Shu Ying is a classic beauty with striking features. She looks somewhat like Nan Song, but their temperaments are completely different. She is a big star who lives under the spotlight all year round. Her eyes are electrifying, and her gaze can make people blush and their hearts race.
"Yes." Yu Yan nodded. "Mei Nan likes Xiang Jingheng."
Shu Ying pointed at the documents in her hand and said to He Shen and everyone else with a smile, "We have professional habits and a script-based mindset. According to the logic of the story, when Mei Nan joined Xiaoxing Studio, she wasn't helping Gan Xiaoxing, but Xiang Jingheng. She knew Gan Xiaoxing was a good-for-nothing, and she was by Xiang Jingheng's side to help him realize his ideals and achieve great things."
He Shen hummed in agreement, his magnetic voice, typical of a movie star, adding, "What's even more interesting is the timeline of chip development. Xiang Jingheng trained Gan Xiaoxing for five years, pouring so much money into the research lab, but they couldn't develop anything. But as soon as Gan Xiaoxing left, and Mei Nan took over the research lab, the chip development immediately made new progress, and everything went smoothly."
As soon as they finished their analysis, Yu Yan's heart skipped a beat.
"You mean, the chip could have been developed much earlier, but Mei Nan deliberately slowed down the process?"
She looked at Shao Muyan, and the two of them lowered their heads in tacit agreement to look at the information showing when Gan Xiaoxing was arrested.
Surprisingly, the actual development of Meinan's chip occurred around the same time that Yu Yan's chip was launched on the market!
The reason why the performance is not so good is also largely related to the equipment.
But Mei Nan is different from Yu Yan in that she is a local scientist who has never studied abroad, and she has blossomed into a resilient and beautiful flower in relatively barren soil.
The Nan and Shao families suddenly understood why Yu Yan said Mei Nan's life wasn't as good as hers.
With Mei Nan's intelligence and perseverance, the three years that Yu Yan missed after getting married were precisely the time when Mei Nan was working herself to the bone for her career. If she had entered a top international research institute like Yu Yan, she might have been able to develop the chip even faster than Yu Yan.
But fate is something that has no "what ifs"; it is faithful to each person's choices.
“Then,” Bai Luyu suddenly asked, “why did Mei Nan switch her and Yu Yan’s child in the first place? Since she liked Xiang Jingheng, why didn’t she take the opportunity to climb the social ladder?”
Upon hearing this, Yu Yan and Nan Song both looked at him.
"Dude, you're too tacky."
Nan Song sighed softly and turned to Yu Yan, saying, "Mei Nan likes Xiang Jingheng, but she also envies you. It's obvious that she loves Xiang Jingheng so much that she wants to give him the best of everything in the world. Including, giving him a perfect wife."
