Chapter 903: Chapter 903: Domineering CEO X Mysterious Boss Chapter 903: Chapter 903: Domineering CEO X Mysterious Boss Qiao Yun arrived backstage without any hindrance and pushed open the door of the lounge.
Han Wang, Pei Ya, and Han Si who is in charge of defense, were all present.
As for the others, Han Wang found them too noisy and explicitly forbade them from descending the mountain, making Han Si, the only one allowed down, suffer miserably as of late.
But there was no help for it; amongst all these people, aside from Han Wang, he was the one with the most badass skills.
“Teacher, you’re here,” Han Si listlessly sat on the computer chair, lazily raising his hand to greet Qiao Yun without much energy.
Qiao Yun responded with a hum, “You’ve worked hard.”
“Not hard at all, but of course, if you want to reward , I wouldn’t refuse,” Han Si said, his eyes hopefully fixed on Qiao Yun, his face wearing an ingratiating smile reminiscent of a well-behaved puppy.
Han Wang’s mouth twitched, giving him a cold glare: “Do your job right, if there’s any slip-up, you’ll be the one to answer for it.”
After such a long ti, Tianqi was releasing a new product which would surely attract many people’s attention.
The concern was that so might be unwise enough to cause trouble at this ti.
Han Wang would not allow such a situation to occur; however, since she had to host the launch event, she entrusted the security matters to Han Si.
Han Si pouted, looking aggrieved as he muttered, “What could possibly go wrong? Who would be so blind as to cause a scene at a Tianqi event?”
Qiao Yun ignored them; her focus was on Pei Ya.
The man was wearing a formal suit, looking smart; of course, if his expression could be less distorted, he would be a pretty handso guy.
Qiao Yun, puzzled, asked, “Is sothing the matter?”
Pei Ya, like a petulant child seeking comfort from an elder, huffed, “Yes, sothing is. Soone is being out of line.”
Han Si: ???
Qiao Yun uttered a gentle “Ah”: “Who?”
Pei Ya snorted, “That Adrian.”
Pei Ya told Qiao Yun about the mischief Adrian was up to on the international network, his tone dismissive: “He’s trying to reflect sothing. Saying that on such an important day, in my opinion, he’s just looking for attention.”
As he spoke, his eyes sparkled slightly: “Yeah, that’s it, he’s just looking for attention.”
Fired up, Pei Ya picked up his phone, logged onto his international social dia account, and very rudely shot back a response.
[Soone wants to ride the coattails of popularity, making such sanctimonious claims, shaless.]
Initially, netizens wondered who he was talking about.
Until an eagle-eyed netizen noticed that he was responding to what Adrian had just posted on Instagram.
Then, a bunch of netizens supporting Professor Qiao rushed to Adrian’s social dia, leaving comnts about his shalessness, questioning if he thought he could leech off Professor Qiao’s popularity.
They managed to infuriate Adrian quite a bit.
Pei Ya’s actions provoked so netizens to ask a soul-searching question.
“Am I the only one who thinks Pei Ya and Professor Qiao are a good match?”
“Now that you say it, I’ve noticed too. Every ti soone slanders Professor Qiao, Pei Ya is always the first one to charge in.”
“Wow, domineering CEO X mysterious big shot, I’m in love.”
Pei Ya: “…”
Pei Ya, looking up at the fanatics dancing under his social dia post and then glancing at Qiao Yun, had an expression that was hard to put into words.
Qiao Yun inquired with curiosity, “What’s wrong?”
Pei Ya couldn’t say out loud that netizens had gone mad, actually shipping us in incestuous relationships! Too terrifying!
He shook his head vigorously, “Nothing, absolutely nothing, my loyalty to you is as the sun and moon can witness, absolutely no other thoughts.”
“Oh.” Qiao Yun took Pei Ya’s incomprehensibility in stride, blinking, “The Huo Family people are here.”
Pei Ya was clueless, so they have arrived, so what?
Qiao Yun added, “You can handle it, or do we need to switch people?”
As a partner of Tianqi, besides Han Wang, Pei Ya was another one in charge of the event, so he definitely needed to et with the Huo Family mbers.
Recalling Fu Yun’s manic state from yesterday, Qiao Yun clicked her tongue lightly.
Pei Yao felt at ease in his heart; he knew there was a reason for Professor Qiao’s visit, and it turns out it was specifically for him.
“No need, since we’ve already t, another ti or two doesn’t make much of a difference.”
Since Pei Yao didn’t care, Qiao Yun didn’t say anything more.
She could tell that Pei Yao disliked the mbers of the Huo family.
In fact, it was rare for Professor Qiao to feel regret, but this ti she did.
If she had known that behind the AI system was such a tragic story of a family’s destruction and personal loss, she wouldn’t have suggested it be released to the public.
Pei Yao said embarrassingly, “Actually, I don’t know why, but when you’re here, I feel as if I’m not afraid of facing a path filled with knives and flas.”
Han Si echoed, “I feel the sa way; as long as our teacher is here, whatever happens, I have the confidence.”
Han Wang remained silent, but she agreed with this statent.
Professor Qiao is the core of the entire Tianqi Research Institute and the driving force behind them.
Qiao Yun was sowhat surprised.
She never knew that they had always considered her their pillar of strength and that they valued her so much.
The solitary and fearless Professor Qiao suddenly felt the pressure, but, miraculously, she didn’t dislike their dependence on her at all.
After thinking it over, she stated succinctly, “I will always be here.”
As long as they don’t betray her, she will always protect them.
…
After Qiao Yun left, Han Si asked Pei Yao in confusion, “What’s with you and the Huo family? Do you have a grudge?”
Han Wang also looked at Pei Yao, feeling a bit jealous.
Professor Qiao actually ca all the way here just for Pei Yao.
Pei Yao said indifferently, “Didn’t I tell you that Huo Lin is my cousin?”
Han Si was stupefied, “What?”
Han Wang was slightly surprised.
Han Si exclaid, “So you’re actually a rich second generation!”
Pei Yao: “…” Is that really the point?
“You used to say that your family was wealthy when you were a kid, and I thought you were just bragging. Turns out it’s true.”
Pei Yao: “…”
Han Si asked, “When will you go back to inherit the family fortune?”
Pei Yao was speechless, “Are you dumb? My surna is Pei, not Huo. What does the Huo family’s wealth have to do with ? I don’t want any connection with them at all.”
Han Si contemptuously said, “So you’re still just a poor kid, huh.”
A vein throbbed in Pei Yao’s forehead, and right then, he really wanted to punch soone.
…
Leaving the rest area, Qiao Yun’s mood was sowhat cheerful, filled with an emotion she had never experienced before.
It was probably because of what they had said.
Professor Qiao felt she had grown closer to them; not that they weren’t close before, but it always felt like sothing was missing.
They respected and admired her, but sothing about the closeness was lacking.
Now that she had beco their pillar of strength, she actually quite liked it, as if she had gained an additional bond in this world, along with so responsibility.
This gave her a sense of belonging to the world.
Qiao Yun walked briskly back to the press conference venue.
“Qiao Yun.”
Before she reached the entrance, soone called out to her.
Qiao Yun paused, turned her head towards the sound, and slightly squinted her beautiful eyes, only to see Jiang Jing in a white dress, gracefully showing a faint smile to her.
However, Qiao Yun felt that Jiang Jing’s smile was too fake.
