Chapter 599: Excuse Me

He Zhangbai and Ren Ji also attended this technology conference.

But they arrived later than Rong Ci and the others.

Unlike Lian Ningyu and the others, when He Zhangbai entered the venue, the first people he noticed were Rong Ci and Yu Moxun.

It had been quite a while since he last saw Rong Ci.

He went over first to greet Rong Ci and Yu Moxun.

Rong Ci and Yu Moxun were surrounded by many people, but they still greeted He Zhangbai politely when he approached.

He Zhangbai had wanted to speak more with Rong Ci, but seeing that she and Yu Moxun seemed occupied with others, he didn’t want to interrupt; after greeting a few other acquaintances, he went to find Feng Tingshen.

Feng Tingshen was also discussing technology and collaboration with someone; seeing him, he smiled: “You’re here?”

He Zhangbai: “Mm.”

Lin Wu’s expression was cool, silent.

Feng Tingshen might have been too absorbed in conversation to notice, but she had noticed—when He Zhangbai arrived, he went straight to Rong Ci.

In He Zhangbai’s eyes and heart, he saw only Rong Ci, thought only of her.

Ren Ji also spotted Rong Ci and Yu Moxun, but he didn’t go over to greet them; instead, he looked for Lin Wu.

Once he saw her, he walked straight toward her.

But others wanted to speak with him, and before he could say much to Lin Wu, he was surrounded.

In the venue, Rong Ci and Yu Moxun were both busy, as were Feng Tingshen and Ren Ji.

In comparison, Lin Wu seemed an exception.

When Feng Tingshen was negotiating collaborations, she didn’t dare interrupt or interject; though she had her own company, its current situation left no room for collaboration with others.

As for technology… in this setting, she was unknown; most people didn’t even know she was someone worth discussing technology with.

So she appeared to have nothing to do.

At that moment, Professor Ma walked over.

Seeing Professor Ma, Lin Wu’s eyes lit up; she walked over politely: “Professor Ma, it’s been a long time.”

Professor Ma naturally still recognized Lin Wu.

Seeing her greet him politely, he nodded and shook her hand warmly: “Ah, it’s Miss Lin. Long time no see.”

Lin Wu smiled: “Professor Ma, I’d like to discuss your Hunyuan model’s multimodal architecture—”

This related to a decision her company was making, so she wanted to collaborate with Professor Ma.

But before she finished speaking, Professor Ma’s assistant said to him: “Professor, Miss Rong and Director Yu are over there.”

Professor Ma’s eyes instantly brightened; without waiting for Lin Wu to finish, he said: “Excuse me, Miss Lin, I need to speak with Miss Rong—I’ll have to take my leave.”

Lin Wu froze, her smile stiffening for a moment, but she quickly regained a composed expression: “Of course, please go ahead. We can talk another time.”

“Certainly, certainly.” He said the words, but his eagerness to speak with Rong Ci made his tone seem dismissive; as soon as he finished, he left quickly.

Lin Wu slowly clenched her fist, pressed her lips tight, yet her gaze involuntarily drifted toward Rong Ci.

Unlike her own quiet corner, Rong Ci was surrounded by people; and after Professor Ma arrived, the first person he noticed wasn’t Yu Moxun, but Rong Ci—he greeted her first.

Immediately after greeting her, he launched into eager conversation with her.
