Chapter 111: Expert Lin, you're sitting in my seat

Lin Shutong stood beside Shen Xun.

Fu Youlin noticed Jiang Lai's glance sweep over the two of them and curiously asked, "Brother Shen Xun, who is this?"

"Are you A Xun's friend?" Lin Shutong smiled and reached out, "Hello, I'm Lin Shutong."

Fu Youlin felt embarrassed.

Although he called Shen Xun "Brother," he wasn't Shen Xun's friend.

Or rather, Shen Xun couldn't be considered his friend.

But his father wanted him to study in front of Shen Xun, so it was better to stay humble, and he nodded.

He didn't reach out his hand.

Going by instinct, Jiang Lai didn't like this woman.

He still had to chase someone.

Shen Xun looked at Lin Shutong, furrowed his brow slightly, and introduced, "This is Young Master Fu."

He couldn't say they were friends, nor could he say they weren't.

In short, Shutong should understand.

After reacting, Lin Shutong's smile stiffened slightly—this was the Fu family's young master.

"Young Master Fu, sorry."

Fu Youlin gave a slight smile, his peripheral vision always on Jiang Lai; seeing her turn to leave, he immediately caught up.

"Are you going in? Let's go together!"

His gaze was sincere, like a little dog wagging its tail.

"Jiang Lai, where are you going?" Shen Xun pursued, stepping toward her, and like Fu Youlin was stopped by the bodyguards.

The two bodyguards stared at him unwaveringly, showing no fear.

Jiang Lai turned to look at him: "Something's up."

"What could you possibly be doing here?" Shen Xun frowned, asking again, "Who are they? Who got you those bodyguards?"

It turned out Jiang Lai hadn't come with A Xun. Lin Shutong suddenly understood.

Since she hadn't come with A Xun, she could only think of one person.

A Xun must have thought of that too.

Shen Xun questioned, "President Ke?"

Lin Shutong curled her lips slightly; Jiang Lai had gotten involved with Ke Zhongyu again.

"It's me," a low, magnetic voice sounded.

Jiang Lai looked up; at some point, the Ke Group's people had already arrived.

Ke Zhongyu stood in the middle, with a crowd of employees behind him.

The man's cool gaze swept over the crowd, briefly landing on Fu Youlin: "Young Master Fu is here too."

"President Ke, long time no see," Fu Youlin greeted with a smile, though inside he was full of doubts—how could Jiang Lai still be connected to the famous Ke Zhongyu?

"Hn." Ke Zhongyu gave a faint nod, looked at Jiang Lai blocked at the roadside, raised his chin slightly, and said, "Go in."

Jiang Lai understood he was helping her out of the predicament, and she went in with her bodyguards.

Ke Zhongyu followed closely behind.

Shen Xun also stepped forward to follow, but was blocked from behind by the Ke Clan members.

He clenched his fist slightly.

Surprisingly obedient to Ke Zhongyu's words—does Jiang Lai even know who her husband really is?

"A Xun." Lin Shutong reached to pull his slightly clenched hand, but it was suddenly shoved away.

She froze.

"A Xun?"

Shen Xun helplessly turned his head and told Lin Shutong, "Shutong, go up first; it wouldn't look good for people to see."

Lin Shutong gritted her teeth and reluctantly said, "All right."

"Young Master Fu, see you later."

Fu Youlin stood to the side, observing his nose, observing his heart.

"Brother Shen Xun, shall we go up?"

"Hn." Shen Xun stepped forward.

Jiang Lai and Ke Zhongyu had already walked side by side to the elevator entrance.

"Jiang Lai, you've used me again." Just as he stopped, the man's low voice sounded again.

Jiang Lai slowly tilted her head: "?"

Assistant Zhou behind him: "……"

"President Ke, you're clearly the one rushing to let others use you—how are you turning the tables?"

The elevator arrived.

Not enough space for all of them at once, Jiang Lai didn't plan to share the elevator with them, taking her bodyguards a step to the side—just then the adjacent elevator arrived.

Ke Zhongyu and Jiang Lai each boarded an elevator.

The elevator doors closed, and Ke Zhongyu recalled how Jiang Lai had just widened her eyes slightly at him, like a bewildered kitten staring with round eyes.

The man curled the corner of his lip.

……

Lin Shutong entered the small meeting room, looked around, and still hadn't seen Dr. Jiang, who had been avoiding her.

She asked Xiao Qian, "Where's Dr. Jiang?"

Xiao Qian shook her head: "I don't know."

She found a seat and sat down; the person beside her said: "Expert Lin, that's Chief Engineer Jiang's seat."

The long round conference table had two seats of honor, one at the screen end, the other right where Lin Shutong was sitting.

The people in the project team didn't like her much, and she naturally looked down on them, smilingly giving a perfunctory answer: "Dr. Jiang hasn't arrived yet; for such an important matter today, being late is not how a chief engineer should behave."

Xiao Qian said solemnly: "Senior Sister arrived early, but she had to step out for a moment."

Lin Shutong smiled without saying anything.

In the whole project team, Xiao Qian is Dr. Jiang's biggest lackey.

On the big screen, in the adjacent meeting room, people gradually filled the seats; the evaluation committee had all arrived, and representatives from major companies also took their seats one after another.

Nameplates for each company were set on the table; one only needed to sit according to the name.

Next to the Ke Clan was Star Universe Technology.

Ke Zhongyu took his seat, he glanced at the sole seat in front of Star Universe Technology, his teasing gaze sweeping over it.

The Fu Family's young master has arrived; who should sit in this seat today?

Logically it should be Shen Xun, he is the person in charge.

But without the young master's word, he dare not simply take a seat.

Ji Lao looked up at the empty seat at Star Universe Technology and asked: "Has President Shen of Star Universe Technology not come?"

"He's here." Shen Xun nodded politely to the old man; Shutong had shown him a photo of Ji Lao.

Fu Youlin said: "Shen Xun brother, please take a seat."

Shen Xun then sat down.

Ji Lao sized up Shen Xun; he had only heard of this young man but never met him.

Upon observation, he indeed had an extraordinary bearing, young and promising.

Sitting alongside the Ke Group's chief, he was no less impressive.

No wonder Shutong constantly thinks of him.

Such a young person, with a little promotion, has limitless prospects; the union of the two families would indeed bring many benefits.

Ji Lao nodded satisfied, turned to the person beside him and said: "Star Universe Technology deserves more attention."

Everyone is sharp; they immediately understood that Ji Lao favored Star Universe Technology more.

Indeed, Star Universe Technology's strength is evident, and their bid was well done.

Next, it's just a matter of each side's on-stage performance.

There are still five minutes until ten o'clock.

The company representatives in the main conference hall gradually grew tense, while the project researchers in the small meeting room were also full of anticipation.

Xiao Qian looked toward the door; it's about to start, why hasn't Senior Sister arrived yet?

Lin Shutong's gaze also subtly drifted toward the door, thinking: If Dr. Jiang doesn't come, it would be heaven helping me!

Suddenly.

The door was pushed open.

Jiang Lai and her bodyguard walked in together.

Everyone's gaze turned in unison toward them.

Lin Shutong saw her, her first reaction was to sneer: "Jiang Lai, you've come to the wrong place; this isn't where you should be; as an attendant, you should be in the lounge."

Jiang Lai stepped toward Lin Shutong, stood before her, her cold gaze falling on her face, then shifting to the chair she sat in.

Her thin red lips parted slightly: "Expert Lin, you're sitting in my seat."
