"What's wrong?" Gu Jingyun, on the other end of the phone, seemed to have heard someone else's voice and paused, "Aren't you with Ye Han?"
"It's nothing, just ran into an idiot. We'll talk more at school later." Ye Shaohua hung up the phone, then turned to look at Fu Jiachen.
Seeing Ye Shaohua so calm, Fu Jiachen felt calm as well, "Have you thought it through?"
Hearing this, Ye Shaohua laughed, "Fu Jiachen, I'm curious how someone like you has managed to develop your family business to its current state. Do you think it's easy to get into Stanford University? As a high school student with no recommendation letter from teachers, without an interview, and without having taken the SAT Exam, what do you think I relied on to get the admission notice?"
"Also, have you never wondered why University Beijing wanted me back? A student originally from a foreign country, why would they trust me to join the national laboratory as soon as I return?"
Ye Shaohua wanted to say more, but her phone rang again at that moment. It was an academician from University Beijing, "The lecture is starting? I'll be right there. Don't touch those programs, just wait for me."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Shaohua sent a text to Ye Han and then started her car and drove toward University Beijing.
Fu Jiachen was left standing there, taking a long time to recover.
Today, many people came to University Beijing, including domestic and international reporters as well as well-known doctors in the field of computer science.
Today was the press conference about automation intelligence held by Dr. Ryan and Ye Ke.
Seated in the audience, Fu Jiachen watched Ye Ke speak eloquently on stage. This was the genius girl Ye Ke; ever since she released that automation intelligence, renowned computer specialists from around the world had been shaken.
After completing her presentation with Dr. Ryan, Ye Ke announced that the Ye Family would soon start this project. Those who wanted to cooperate could invest now. She didn't see anyone from Xinghe Networks, but she knew her technology would even make them interested.
When Ye Ke was about to leave the stage, she saw Gu Jingyan and Ye Shaohua sitting in the front row and smiled at Ye Shaohua.
Ye Shaohua, no matter how smart you are, how can you compare with the geniuses who will emerge in ten years? From now on, you'll realize how foolish and wrong it was to choose to return to the country and to my laboratory!
"Your sister is quite startling, isn't she?" Gu Jingyan whispered to Ye Shaohua, pointing at Ye Ke, "I knew she was a financial prodigy, but I didn't expect her talent in computer science to be on par with yours!"
Ye Shaohua glanced at Gu Jingyan without saying anything, just walking outside.
"Hey, where are you going?" Gu Jingyan was startled.
Ye Shaohua simply waved her hand but didn't answer.
Ye Ke had already come down from the stage by then, and seeing Ye Shaohua backstage, she assumed like the rest, that Shaohua was there to inquire about her automation intelligence. However, Shaohua just stood by the announcer's side, seemingly ready to go on stage.
Dr. Ryan had also noticed Ye Shaohua. He had heard from Fu Jiachen in the morning that Ye Shaohua was only Ye Ke's sister who had studied abroad for a few years.
With that thought, Dr. Ryan smiled. Among the three members of the Ye Family, the young lady was unremarkable, the youngest was clueless about anything other than racing, and it was fortunate they had the second young lady to carry the prestige.
Indeed, even if born of the same father, there are all kinds of people.
The academician on stage was introducing, "People in the computer community should all be familiar with Y. To be honest, we of the older generation admit we can't compare. The latest software from Xinghe Networks was developed by her, and everyone is curious about that young champion. We are very honored to have such a remarkable talent with us today. Please welcome Y to the stage."
What kind of person is Y? I believe there is no one in the computer community who doesn't know of this figure. Since appearing two years ago, Y has been an insurmountable mountain in the hacker community. No one knows whether Y is male or female, no one knows how old Y is, only that the firewalls released by Y on the Hacker Forum are used almost worldwide.
The FBI has tried many times to uncover this genius but failed despite using innumerable resources.
Y is a talent that almost tops the hacker community and the computer field, a legend in the hearts of countless computer enthusiasts; even the proud Ye Ke had to acknowledge Y's extraordinary talent in computing.
No one was surprised when Y won first place in the hacker competition, but what was surprising was that Y turned out to be from Xinghe Networks — that's Xinghe Networks!
It turns out Y had joined Xinghe Networks long ago and even designed a globally popular software, and now was about to collaborate with the laboratories of Hua Country!
Countless people were eagerly anticipating; everyone wanted to know who Y was. The media frenzy intensified.
Even Ye Ke, who had already stepped down, couldn't help but look towards the backstage, knowing Y must be back there.
She searched backstage but didn't see anyone who looked like Y.
It was only after the academician finished speaking that Ye Shaohua walked onto the stage.
Ye Ke's entire face froze. What did she see? She actually saw Ye Shaohua going on stage? How is this possible!
"Everyone must be surprised, this famous, formidable Y is actually student Ye..."
Backstage, Ye Ke's makeup wasn't even fully off when she collapsed onto the chair.
On the side, after hearing the translation, Dr. Ryan's glass fell to the ground.
Ye Shaohua casually mentioned a few collaboration projects; her pace of speech was neither fast nor slow but interspersed with information from various disciplines.
Countless people in the audience, even the doctors, started recording.
Laymen watched the spectacle, but insiders understood what Ye Shaohua was talking about, "My god, isn't this part something only a physics master's student would learn? How can she, a computer science major, talk as if it's her field of expertise?"
"Forget about that, her advanced mathematics is even better than mine, and I won the national competition!"
"Academicians, stop consoling us. We can't catch up to someone like her."
Even Fu Jiachen, who understood little, knew that Y was the one who had defeated Ye Ke, the one who sent the audience into a frenzy with just a few words.
He was infatuated with Ye Ke's genius and had just thought that Ye Shaohua didn't even recognize the famous Dr. Ryan, seemed to have learned nothing, just a gold-plated dummy who couldn't compare to Ye Ke in any way.
He was proud of his potential to cooperate and make money with Ye Ke, yet he had never imagined that Ye Shaohua had long been the ruler of Hacker Empire.
Even Ye Ke had once been defeated by her, such a person, such a person...
Thinking back to how he had just scorned Ye Shaohua on behalf of Ye Ke, Fu Jiachen felt a shameful urge to run away. Ridiculous, he, Fu Jiachen, was the truly laughable one!
