Chapter 116

The signing ceremony was achieved, and Special Assistant Zhou was still out of the loop.

He had guessed that Miss Jiang was a member of the Self-developed Chip Project group, but he hadn't guessed that Miss Jiang would be the Chief Engineer.

No wonder the information investigating Miss Jiang was only half a page thin at the beginning, and no matter how much he checked, he couldn't find more; her identity was very mysterious—it turned out the state was behind it.

He thought Miss Jiang would one day become the President's wife of the Ke Group, but he never expected Miss Jiang to become the Ke Group's "Party A Dad" first.

And not an ordinary "Party A Dad."

Special Assistant Zhou blinked, and it took a while for him to come back to his senses.

Looking at President Ke again, his expression was calm.

As expected of President Ke.

In fact, when Ke Zhongyu heard the words "Please welcome the Chief Engineer of the national-level Self-developed Chip Project, Jiang Lai," his pupils also shook.

He had vaguely guessed Jiang Lai's identity.

The information that couldn't be investigated.

Old Cui's student.

Refusing to participate in the Ke Clan's bidding.

Jiang Lai, the author who published papers in top journals.

Especially last night, when Professor Wang and Professor Cheng were there, and Xiao Qian, who had appeared and spoken in front of Old Shen with Professor Cheng, called Jiang Lai "Senior Sister."

At that time, he was certain that Jiang Lai was not some unpromising graduate student under Old Cui, nor was she some ordinary small employee.

Jiang Lai's position in the Self-developed Chip Project was quite high.

But he didn't expect that she would be the leader after Old Cui.

She was very young, only twenty-eight years old, lower than the average age of the project members.

At this moment, Jiang Lai stood in front of him, not as a cold and fragrant magnolia, but as the tall, straight tree that bloomed with a tree full of magnolias, far more charming than a single flower.

Jiang Lai let go, and he let go too.

The two faced the media's lens again, together with the accompanying representatives of both sides, and took a complete group photo.

The news, accompanied by photos of the two lowering their heads to sign, standing up to shake hands, and the group photo of the members of both sides, had already swept through A City and radiated to the whole country.

Ke Family.

Ke Zhongying and Ms. Nian were sitting on the sofa, eating fruit while watching the news.

Ke Fu was standing to the side, his serious expression carrying a hint of nervousness.

Seeing Ke Zhongyu's figure appear in the news, Ke Fu exhaled a turbid breath, and a kind smile bloomed on his face.

Ms. Nian smiled gently: "Husband, our son is really good."

Ke Fu reached out and pinched his wife's shoulder, and Ms. Nian raised her hand to hold his; both husband and wife were very gratified.

Even Ke Zhongying, who always loved to talk back to her own brother, didn't spare her praise: "My brother is too amazing!"

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Lai's voice appeared in the news video.

Ke Zhongying thought she had seen wrong, rubbed her eyes, and continued to watch with wide eyes.

"Sister Jiang Lai!" She suddenly stood up from the sofa, and the pillow in her arms fell.

Ke Zhongying quickly chewed the fruit in her mouth and swallowed it, then turned her head blankly to look at her parents: "Mr. Ke, Ms. Nian, you... did you see it?"

Ms. Nian was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Saw it."

Ke Zhongying pointed at herself: "So I didn't see wrong, right?"

Ms. Nian was also not sure, so she looked up at her husband: "Husband, my daughter and I didn't see wrong, right?"

Ke Fu had found someone to take a photo of Jiang Lai when he learned that his son had suddenly promoted an administrative staff member to be his secretary.

"Although she is dressed more formally today, it is indeed Jiang Lai."

"Ah!" Ke Zhongying suddenly screamed, "A big shot was by my side! And I didn't even notice!"

Ms. Nian was startled by her daughter's shout, pulled her to sit back down, and continued to watch.

The family watched Ke Zhongyu and Jiang Lai face the camera; the high-definition lens and the huge screen clearly presented the faces of the two to everyone.

Ke Fu sighed: "The Shen family mistook a pearl for a fish eye; it seems it will be cheap for this boy of ours."

Ms. Nian shook her head: "It's uncertain; whether our son can chase her is another matter."

Ke Fu: "Why are you boosting others' morale and destroying your own prestige?"

Ke Zhongying nodded in agreement with her mother's words: "Judging from the situation where my brother is either sparing of words or has a poisonous mouth, it is indeed uncertain."

Ms. Nian also nodded: "I already feel a crisis for Zhongyu."

"Don't worry." Ke Fu said, "Love will make the reticent noisy and make the thorny restrain their edge."

Ke Zhongying looked at her father in surprise: "Dad, you can still say such poetic things."

"What do you know." Ke Fu glared at his daughter.

He had relied on these sour poems to marry his wife back then.

Shen Family.

Shen Fu had been guarding the news since the morning, sitting motionless.

In contrast, the mother and daughter were very relaxed.

They put on face masks early in the morning, and after lunch, they were thinking about where to put on makeup and what clothes to wear in the afternoon.

If Shen Xun won the bid with Star Universe Technology, there would be a celebration banquet, which would be hosted by the Fu Family; presumably, celebrities would gather, so shouldn't they prepare well in advance?

Seeing the time getting closer and closer.

Shen Fu looked at the mother and daughter: "Stop fussing, it's about time."

"Coming, coming." Shen Mu walked to the sofa and sat down.

Shen Xi also immediately sat over, leaned on her mother's shoulder, and asked impatiently: "How is it, how is it? With Sister Shutong there, my brother must have succeeded, right?"

Shen Mu said with a smile: "Not only is Shutong there, but her grandfather is a leader at the research institute and will also speak for your brother. Plus, your brother is so excellent, he will definitely succeed. Let's just wait quietly to attend your brother's celebration banquet."

"Great!" Shen Xi thought about the last time she went to the cocktail party; she hadn't met many wealthy young masters and young ladies at all, just some uninteresting engineering men and older people.

She did meet Shen Bingrui and added his contact information, but for some reason, after returning from the cocktail party, Shen Bingrui never took the initiative to chat with her again. She took the initiative to find him several times, but the other party would either reply or not.

She simply didn't bother to look for him; if she continued to pester him, it would make her look cheap.

Shen Bingrui wasn't some wealthy young master; it was just that his grandfather's status was very high and he was very respected.

To be honest, if you were someone who didn't care about national scientific research, you wouldn't know who Old Shen or Old Ji were at all.

But!

The celebration banquet hosted by the Fu Family for her brother was different!

At least the Fu Family's eldest miss and crown prince would come, right?

The Fu Family's crown prince was only one year older than her; rounding it up, weren't they the same age? And her brother was deeply favored by Chairman Fu, so she was close to the water and might become the young mistress of the Fu family...

"What are you thinking about?" Shen Mu interrupted Shen Xi's fantasy, "Looking so beautiful."

Shen Xi wasn't angry and said happily: "Of course, it's a beautiful thing."

Shen Fu: "It's here."

The whole family immediately stared at the screen; the news was broadcasting.

"Today, the national-level Self-developed Chip Project opened for bidding in the conference hall on the 22nd floor of Block A of the Bidding Building. The winner is the Ke Group..."

As soon as the name of the Ke Group came out, the expressions of the Shen family changed instantly, and the content broadcasted later could no longer be heard clearly.

"How is it the Ke Clan? Shouldn't it be my brother?" Shen Xi was the first to react.

Shen Mu was also anxious and disbelieving: "That's right, shouldn't it be Star Universe Technology? How is it the Ke Group? Aren't Shutong and Shutong's grandfather there too? What is going on?"

Shen Fu stared closely at the screen and found that the figures of Lin Shutong and Ji Lao did not appear in the real-time recording.

Representatives of major companies appeared, but Star Universe Technology was nowhere to be seen.

"Next, please welcome the Chief Engineer of the Self-developed Chip Project, Jiang Lai."

With these words, Shen Fu saw the Jiang Lai he knew walk slowly onto the stage and sit in the first seat.

Shen Fu's eyes widened suddenly.

Noticing his shocked expression, the mother and daughter also looked over.

Jiang Lai???

The Jiang Lai they knew???!!!
