Chapter 911: Chapter 911: Putting on Airs in Front of Me

Adrian didn’t hesitate at all and said, “That would be best.”

He smiled and apologized to everyone present, “I’m sorry to bring this up on such an occasion, but I also hope for an opportunity for exchange, so that more people can benefit from it.”

Li Hanzhou’s lips twitched slightly.

The words sounded like selfless dedication, but in reality, it was just a desire to gain fame through this opportunity.

Adrian smiled faintly.

His student Darren looked at Qiao Yun, giving her a sly grin, his eyes clearly showing determination.

Qiao Yun didn’t even spare him a glance; she preferred to let her abilities speak for themselves rather than engage in meaningless provocations.

The decision about the competition was made in the presence of everyone,

…

After the press conference ended, the internet was in an uproar, as it was globally live-streamed, and whatever happened on-site was seen by global netizens.

Various trending topics about the AI system, holographic technology, Professor Qiao, Adrian, Fu Yao, and the competition kept rising, even the Huo Research Institute made it to the top of the trending list.

“Oh my god, I thought the release was just about introducing a simple new product, I didn’t expect it to be this exciting! I feel like a monkey in a melon field, feasting on melons so avidly.”

“The holographic technology shocked me, truly worthy of the Tianqi Research Institute, they are phenomenal.”

“When will the AI system officially go on sale? My wallet is ready for it.”

“Insiders say, I’m fucking shocked, the chairman of the tech conglomerate’s real mother actually works at Huo, I smelt conspiracy from this release event.”

“Conspiracy +1, I always felt something complicated about Madame Fu and the Huo Research Institute.”

“Rather than that, I’m more intrigued by the fact that Lu Zhanxing’s sister is actually a student of Professor Qiao! And she’s challenging the Future Alliance!”

“Am I the only one who thinks she is overestimating herself? Hope she doesn’t embarrass Professor Qiao.”

“She’s coming forward, maybe it’s just for publicity.”

“Psh! Lu’s sister is this year’s top scorer in the college entrance exams, does she need publicity! If she really wanted publicity, why didn’t she use the time when she was briefly famous with Lu Zhanxing on the variety show to make her debut?”

“The world of top scholars, could you losers possibly understand?”

Thanks to Adrian, the discussions about Qiao Yun are also rising.

Because of Lu Zhanxing, many people know her, but there are also many who don’t know who she is.

Only upon further digging did people realize that Qiao Yun is not only brilliant academically, but when she was previously slandered online, many big names came out to defend her.

In short, she’s an untouchable genius-level figure.

Although there are many discussions about Qiao Yun, under Pei Yao’s deliberate management, the focus and hottest topic is still about the AI system, after all, that was the main highlight of today.

Online was bustling, and in reality, after the press conference, the invited dignitaries visiting the Science Museum to view Tianqi’s exhibitions were also unsettled, as they had too many questions.

They wanted to find Pei Yao to ask him, but couldn’t find him anywhere, and not just him, people from the Huo Family were also missing.

Here, Xu Qiao also asked Jiang Jing, “Why aren’t you following Mrs. Huo?”

Jiang Jing was looking at her phone, her eyes cast down, showing no emotion, but from how tightly she gripped her phone, it was clear she was in a bad mood.

Hearing Xu Qiao’s question, she replied irritably, “Godmother said she was going to find someone.”

“Did she run into someone she knows?” Xu Qiao was just curious and didn’t need an answer from Jiang Jing, but seeing her purse her lips, she frowned and asked, “Jingjing, why are you upset?”

Jiang Jing did not reply.

She was always watching what everyone online was saying about Qiao Yun.

Most people supported Qiao Yun daring to accept the challenge from the Future Alliance, and some even said she was the future light of Chinese technology!

When she saw this statement, Jiang Jing was bound to be furious!

Now Qiao Yun was famous, while she remained nameless and even had to please Fu Yun for that little chance.

Qiao Yun didn’t need to do anything to get what she had longed for.

Xu Qiao, not receiving a reply from Jiang Jing, did not mind and sighed, “I really didn’t expect Adrian to propose an exchange at the press conference, which is like making trouble in someone else’s territory. But what surprised me more was Qiao Yun; she is actually Professor Qiao’s student!”

She then sarcastically added, “Even if she is Professor Qiao’s student, she only learned a bit and dares to accept this challenge. There will definitely be a lot of people paying attention to this international exchange competition. Now, she will lose face internationally.”

Xu Qiao’s words were unmistakably schadenfreude, as Qiao Yun always troubled Jiang Jing. If Qiao Yun embarrassed herself, she would definitely be the first to watch.

Jiang Jing responded rationally: “Even if she loses, by daring to challenge an international alliance at her age, she can still gain the reputation she wants.”

Xu Qiao instantly realized, “I was wondering where her courage came from; it turns out this was her plan.”

Jiang Jing bit her lip and sneered, “She is just like me, pretending to be lofty in front of me.”

Both aiming for fame and fortune.

Yet posing as someone indifferent to them in front of her.

All for show!

Thinking about Qiao Yun’s impure motives, Jiang Jing suddenly felt much more comfortable, and a smile finally appeared on her face: “Mom, I’ll stop talking for now, I’m going to find the doctor.”

Xu Qiao smiled, “Go ahead, perform well.”

Jiang Jing hummed in agreement, and headed off to find Adrian.

…

After Adrian threw down the challenge in the name of an exchange on someone else’s turf, he had not yet left.

He was visiting the Tianqi’s Museum of Technology, as knowing both your enemies and yourself is his way to always win.

Initially, after seeing the AI systems and holographic technology, he was somewhat hesitant, until Tianqi foolishly pushed a young girl to the forefront to accept the challenge.

Then he knew he was secured.

Adrian whispered, “Darren, don’t hold back on the day of the exchange.”

“Teacher, I understand,” Darren said with a face full of sympathy, “Thinking about having to take advantage of such a beautiful girl, I feel a bit reluctant.”

Jiang Jing just then walked over and heard this, her eyes flickering, she spoke gently and softly, “Mr. Darren, still, you should be more cautious.”

Darren raised an eyebrow, “She’s just a freshman, while I already have my own independent project.”

Jiang Jing pursed her lips and asked, “Do you know about the Doomsday Virus?”

Darren replied, “Of course, I’ve heard of it, a very powerful destructive virus.”

Jiang Jing told him, “She once cracked the Doomsday Virus.”

Darren was slightly surprised, and after a while, he nodded thoughtfully, “Being a student of Professor Qiao, it’s normal to have some capabilities.”

But Adrian saw something else, he asked, “It seems you have some grievances with this Qiao Yun?”
