Chapter 902: Chapter 902: His Niece is a Significant Support Chapter 902: Chapter 902: His Niece is a Significant Support Hmph, let those who slandered him online see–this is what someone with discerning eyes looks like.

Upon seeing Adrian showing a hint of appreciation for Jiang Jing, Fu Yun seized the opportunity to follow up: “Since Dr. Adrian appreciates Jingjing so much, I wonder if you’re interested in taking her as a student?”

“This…” Adrian hesitated, as he currently did not lack students and had no intention of mentoring anyone at the moment.

Fu Yun observed his expression and sighed softly: “Actually, this child has once tried out for Tianqi’s assessment but was rejected for some reasons. If you’re not willing, then I can only think of a way to have Tianqi accept her. However, I believe that she would certainly be more successful in the future if she could study under you, rather than at Tianqi Research Institute.”

Hearing that Jiang Jing had participated in Tianqi’s assessment, the initially uninterested Adrian furrowed his brows, his competitive spirit flaring up, “Since Mrs. Huo has put it that way, in consideration of you, I can think about it.”

Heh.

What’s Tianqi, after all?

Is there anything better than following him?

Due to the matters of the banquet, Jiang Jing was initially in low spirits, but now that she heard Adrian would consider it, her excitement visibly surged.

Generally speaking, when someone says they will consider it, the matter is already halfway to success.

Jiang Jing could already imagine the bright future beckoning to her.

Adrian then said, “However, it has to wait until after today, as I still have matters to attend to.”

Fu Yun knew that Adrian was here to challenge Tianqi, but wasn’t today supposed to be Tianqi’s press conference?

She asked, “May I know what Dr. Adrian intends to do?”

Adrian replied leisurely, “To use a popular phrase from the online community in China, I suppose it is called ‘slapping the face’.”

The Tianqi press conference was a sensational affair, filled with news across all major platforms and even live streams.

Originally, Adrian was worried Tianqi wouldn’t dare to accept his challenge, but now he had no such concerns, convinced that Tianqi would not dare to back down in front of so many people.

Adrian smiled enigmatically: “Both domestically and internationally, everyone is singing high praises for Tianqi; I really want to see how much capability they truly possess.”

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of surprise flashed through Jiang Jing’s eyes–it seemed this Tianqi press conference would not be a calm affair.

…

Elsewhere.

Since it involved her own research institute, even though Qiao Yun did not make a public appearance, she arrived at the venue early on.

The press conference was held at the Tianqi Technology Museum.

It was officially scheduled to start at two in the afternoon.

During this time, attendees could first tour the products developed by Tianqi over the years.

Qiao Yun did not come in her capacity as Professor Qiao, but in the identity of the young Miss of the Lu Family, not intending to reveal herself this time.

Since there was no red carpet event, attendees could enter directly after presenting their invitation.

The venue was very large, with more than a thousand seats, each affixed with a name tag.

The front-row seats were naturally for influential figures with contributions and those related to Tianqi.

For example, the people from the Lu Family and Su Family sat in the second row, causing Su Fan to feel restless–surrounded by technology magnates ahead and behind, it was incredible that they got to sit in the second row, neither too high nor too low in standing!

It wasn’t that he had gone mad; rather, the person who arranged the seating must be mad!

Su Fan fidgeted uncomfortably in his chair, as if he were sitting on pins and needles.

“Big sister, we didn’t sit in the wrong seats, did we?”

“No.” Su Mian looked at the invitation carefully again and said with certainty: “It’s right here, no mistake.”

Su Fan, surprised: “Really? No mistake?”

“None.”

“Don’t you find it strange? Why can we sit in such front-row seats? I just saw that even the Huo Family can only sit in the fourth row.”

Su Mian was stunned, realizing that he was still unaware of Qiaoqiao’s identity, and said with a nonchalant air: “What’s strange about that? Maybe Qiaoqiao arranged it.”

Su Fan was shocked: “Impossible, how could she have the authority to arrange us in the front?”

Su Mian suppressed a smile and said, “Qiaoqiao has a good relationship with Director Pei.”

Su Fan had an epiphany: “I get it now; it was arranged by Director Pei.”

After all, Shengqiao and Tianqi are collaborators, and this press conference is jointly organized by Shengqiao and Tianqi. It’s not strange for Pei Yao to have that authority.

For the first time, Su Fan clearly realized that his little niece was indeed a significant figure.

Su Mian smiled, humming in agreement.

Lu Zhanxing glanced at his mother from the corner of his eye, observing her proud demeanor.

He couldn’t help but shake his head with a chuckle, looking around and spotting his younger sister talking to Li Hanzhou in the front row. He couldn’t resist rolling his eyes at Li Hanzhou.

This clinginess was really something.

Qiao Yun was telling Li Hanzhou to take a seat while she went to the resting room to find Pei Yao.

Li Hanzhou simply held Qiao Yun’s hand and told her, “Go and come back quickly, don’t run off with someone else.”

Qiao Yun wrinkled her nose, “As if I would run off with someone.”

Li Hanzhou smiled, patting her head, “Go then.”

“Okay.” Qiao Yun obediently nodded, took a few steps, then turned back and said seriously, “Don’t pat my head.”

Li Hanzhou had a look of innocent incomprehension on his face.

Qiao Yun pursed her lips and went backstage to look for Pei Yao.

…

Jiang Jing followed Adrian and Fu Yun into the venue, astonished by the importance Tianqi was placing on this press conference.

Looking at the swarm of reporters that couldn’t be kept at bay in the back, a hint of dissatisfaction flickered through Jiang Jing’s eyes.

She was supposed to be a member of Tianqi, supposed to be the one surrounded by journalists.

She took a deep breath to suppress the discontent in her heart and sat down in her seat.

Her status wasn’t high enough to let her sit in the front row, but since she came with Fu Yun, she could sit on the Huo Family’s side.

Some people who knew about the banquet’s fiasco were surprised to see Jiang Jing sitting with the Huo Family.

What was the Huo Family’s attitude toward Jiang Jing?

If they valued her, the banquet wouldn’t have become a joke.

If they didn’t value her, they wouldn’t let Jiang Jing sit with them.

Why did Jiang Jing feel like a jester at their beck and call?

Jiang Jing, unaware that she’d become an object of ridicule again, stretched her neck to see the big shots in the front row, with envy and nervousness in her eyes.

She couldn’t possibly meet these influential people at her age.

Fu Yun seemed to have noticed Jiang Jing’s thoughts and reassuringly patted the back of her hand, “After the press conference, I’ll ask your brother to introduce you to those people.”

Those were people Huo Lin knew.

Jiang Jing bit her lip, worriedly saying, “Wouldn’t he find me annoying?”

Fu Yun said, “Of course not, Alin is just a bit cold, but actually very easy to get along with.”

Jiang Jing smiled, not seeing at all how Huo Lin was easy to get along with.

But since Fu Yun had spoken, Huo Lin would likely not refuse.

Choosing Fu Yun as her godmother was the best decision of her life.

The press conference had not yet started, and the atmosphere was making Jiang Jing feel somewhat stifled, so she excused herself to Fu Yun to go outside for a breath of fresh air.

…

Meanwhile, elsewhere.
