Rao Jie’s mind exploded in an instant. Although she was not in the spotlight, she was right next to Wu Rong, and anyone who knew her would naturally notice her. At that moment, her face was redder than a strawberry cake. If it weren't for the current occasion, Rao Jie would have impulsively grabbed the cake beside her and thrown it at the big boss's face, letting him have a taste!
Wu Rong slowly walked over with a confident smile on his face. As the lights followed him away, Rao Jie fell into darkness. She covered her face and turned away from Wu Rong, cursing him in her heart a hundred times. Did this guy really want to restore their normal relationship? What did he mean by pulling this stunt now? Really… Professor Wu… how annoying!
Just as she angrily poked at the dessert, Wu Rong had already taken the stage to speak. His voice, amplified through the microphone, showcased his unique deep tone perfectly—pleasant and captivating. Even Rao Jie, still angry, couldn't help but turn to look at him. On stage, Wu Rong was truly charming; Rao Jie noticed he hadn’t prepared any speech notes and just spoke directly without stumbling, sounding much better than those who were reading from scripts. This must be what truly confident and successful people are like.
At that moment, he was in the light while she was in the dark. For the first time, Rao Jie felt a strange sensation—they were indeed people from two different worlds. She was so ordinary that she probably could never enter his world.
Watching the people around her continuously taking photos and videos, Rao Jie decided to record a segment for Wu Xin. After all, it was her brother's acceptance speech, and she should let her see it. But Wu Xin probably already knew about her brother winning an award! After recording and sending it off, there was no response; she guessed she hadn’t woken up yet.
Wu Rong’s speech was brief; he said a few concise words before wrapping it up. Naturally, there was a round of applause afterward. After Wu Rong stepped down from the stage, some people wanted to take pictures with him but were all politely declined by Wu Rong one by one. Ye Ming hurriedly stepped forward to assist him, acting like a celebrity's assistant. However, even though they couldn’t take photos together, some people still insisted on toasting him.
The surroundings brightened up again as Rao Jie boredly wandered back to watch the dessert-making process; she figured Wu Rong would be tied up for a while longer. Indeed, Wu Rong couldn’t escape; after some time of dealing with toasts, he finally managed to disperse the crowd when the principal brought over two more people. One was someone Wu Rong recognized—the President of the local Mathematics Research Association—and the other was a young lady.
Wu Rong didn't pay much attention to the woman, but Ye Ming perked up beside him.
He exchanged a glance with his father, and it was clear that she was a potential match. However, such informal meetings were usually quite subtle.
Ye Ming curiously looked over; she was indeed beautiful and matched Wu Rong well. Moreover, her demeanor suggested she was cultured and knowledgeable. Yet, at that moment, she seemed a bit unhappy. Was she being forced by her family to meet someone?
Ye Ming observed carefully, as no one was paying attention to him. He decided to keep an eye on his buddy's situation. After some observation, Ye Ming realized something.
This woman was not being coerced at all. Although her expression wasn't great, the way she looked at Wu Rong was all too familiar to Ye Ming. It was the gaze of an infatuated young girl admiring someone from afar.
How many young girls had shown such a look after catching sight of Wu Rong? But why did her gaze also carry a hint of resentment and confusion?
