Chapter 271: Rong is more capable than me
On Thursday evening, Rong Ci and Yu Moxun, who had returned from his business trip, went to attend a banquet together.
As soon as they arrived, she saw Lin Wu and Sun Liyao.
They obviously saw her too.
Sun Liyao didn't have a good face when she saw her, snorted, and complained to Lin Wu: "Why is she everywhere?"
Rong Ci didn't pay attention to them. After she and Yu Moxun chatted with the host of the banquet for a while, they saw Gu Yan walking toward them.
Gu Yan learned that she would attend this banquet, so he specifically got an invitation letter.
Tonight, Rong Ci was wearing a simple black slim-fit dress, paired with long, straight black hair. The whole person looked cold and clear, and also added a touch of mystery, very beautiful and eye-catching.
It seemed that every time he saw her at a banquet, she could make him feel amazed.
He had also been present at the two previous banquets. Seeing him, Rong Ci didn't feel surprised, only saying: "You came too?"
Gu Yan restrained the amazement in his eyes and said: "Mm."
He heard that Dane Turner would also attend tonight's banquet.
Dane Turner was a good friend of Smith, and their contributions and fame in AI were comparable.
When studying for her doctorate, Lin Wu had also seen Turner twice.
She and Turner couldn't be considered familiar, but they knew each other.
Upon learning that Turner had arrived, Lin Wu stepped forward to greet him, "Mr. Turner, long time no see."
Turner nodded slightly.
Seeing that he still remembered her, Lin Wu smiled and was just about to continue talking to him, but Turner clearly wasn't interested in her. Without waiting for her to speak, he turned his head and asked his assistant: "How is it? Have Rong and Yu arrived?"
"They have."
Turner's eyes lit up instantly. He said to the people swarming around him to converse with him: "I heard that Rong and Yu have already arrived. I'll excuse myself first, everyone chat slowly."
The banquet host couldn't help but tease: "Want to chat and exchange with President Yu so much?"
"No, to be more precise, compared to Yu, I am more interested in Rong. I think she seems to be more capable."
After speaking, he hurriedly greeted others and turned to leave, walking toward Rong Ci and Yu Moxun.
Being ignored by Turner to this extent, Lin Wu's expression was somewhat embarrassing.
Sun Liyao watched and felt a bit indignant: "What kind of person is this? Didn't they say he is Smith's good friend? When he saw you, how—"
Lin Wu collected her thoughts and interrupted her: "Alright."
Seeing her unhappy expression, Sun Liyao was also worried that she would say too much and make a mistake, so she didn't dare to speak anymore.
On the other side, after Turner walked up to Rong Ci, he immediately introduced himself and said: "I have read your paper many times, it's really too interesting."
Letting go of the hand he was shaking, Rong Ci said: "Mr. Turner, you are too polite."
Rong Ci's paper had actually not been published for many days, but in these days, organizers of multiple top AI conferences abroad had all sent invitations to her, hoping she would attend, but Rong Ci had all declined.
Rong Ci wouldn't go over, so Turner had to fly over to see Rong Ci himself.
Therefore, now that he saw Rong Ci, Turner chatted with her endlessly.
At first, they chatted about her paper, and then it expanded to other fields of AI.
Whether chatting about AI history or talking about AI development trends, Rong Ci could respond with ease. When Turner mentioned who published a paper on which aspect in which year, Rong Ci could also immediately pick up the conversation, point out the subtlety of this paper, and would timely mention two or three related papers, taking their core and having an in-depth exchange with Turner.
Rong Ci and Turner quoted classics and chatted back and forth.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the more Turner chatted with Rong Ci, the more excited and surprised he was, and even in the conversation with Rong Ci, he discovered some of his own shortcomings.
But this made him feel surprised.
He couldn't help but say: "I really didn't misjudge, Rong, you are indeed more capable than me."
What kind of person was Turner?
Rong Ci had such a rich knowledge base at a young age, and even Turner himself opened his mouth to admit Rong Ci's capability.
This point could be said to have directly stunned everyone around who was listening to their conversation.
Only Yu Moxun smiled unobtrusively.
Lin Wu was also listening silently on the side.
Sun Liyao's English was average, and she couldn't understand what Turner and Rong Ci were chatting about at all.
Seeing Turner and Rong Ci chat for so long without any intention of ending, she felt a bit impatient: "Don't know what there is to chat about, haven't finished chatting for so long."
Lin Wu didn't speak, but the hand holding the cup gradually turned pale.
Although the level of the domestic AI field had caught up now, and Professor Liu and Professor Ma and others also possessed considerable fame in the country, in terms of strength, there was still quite a gap compared to Turner, Smith, and the others.
If she felt that Rong Ci had really learned some skills by Yu Moxun's side when she attended the Q University symposium before, then now... she suddenly didn't feel that way anymore.
Because Rong Ci's knowledge base was really too strong.
In the conversation with Mr. Turner, to be able to possess the strength to suppress the other party, how could it be done in less than a year?
That is to say, it was very likely that Rong Ci already possessed very good strength before entering Chang Mo...
Even more, Rong Ci's paper was very likely truly her personal achievement!
If it was really like this, then wouldn't Rong Ci have already left her far behind professionally?
But, but how is this possible?
Rong Ci clearly entered the Feng family as a secretary not long after graduating from undergraduate studies. How could she possess such strong strength?
"Sister?" At this time, Sun Liyao finally noticed Lin Wu's expression was wrong, "What's wrong with you? Why is your expression so ugly?"
Lin Wu squeezed the cup hard, looked up, took a sip of wine, and didn't speak.
Gu Yan had also long since witnessed Rong Ci's excellence.
But this time, Rong Ci refreshed his cognition again.
Just as he was listening to Rong Ci chatting with Mr. Turner, his friend suddenly leaned over and said: "I helped you inquire, this Miss Rong is not a local of Ducheng, her parents seem to be divorced, her mother seems to have mental problems. More than ten years ago, she moved here to live with her uncle's family."
"A few years ago, her uncle's family business went downhill, but no one reached out to help. Their family shouldn't have any friends or relatives here."
"Now the Rong family business has improved, but in this place of wealth and honor in Ducheng, it still can't be ranked—"
Speaking of this, seeing Gu Yan glance at him, his friend knew that he was letting him talk about the key points, so he smiled and continued: "As for her marriage partner... maybe the Rong family has too little presence in the circle, I inquired around, and I really haven't heard any news at all." ===== CHAPTER 272 =====
