407 Professor Z’s Family Member
Chu Qianshu stretched her neck, but she didn’t see Prof. Z walking over. Hence, she could only check out the seat beside Professor Z meticulously.
Although Professor Z was impressive, he was still considered young in the science circle. It had only been six years since he published his thesis and shot to fame after that. So, everyone guessed that Professor Z was only in his thirties.
Hence, although his seat was in the first row, it was arranged at the side.
The seats in the center were reserved for the major characters in the industry.
For example, a legendary character like Shen Yuansong was arranged to sit right in the center.
At the start, he was a talented scientist, and after he became a businessman, he still used a large amount of funds to focus on research. He had made huge contributions to the scientific world.
Currently, he was one of the leaders among scientists and was also the president of the science association!
The people on both sides of him were mentors from various industries. Some of them researched physics and mathematics, and the others focused on chemistry, mechanical engineering, pharmaceutical, and other industries.
As the president of the science association, Shen Yuansong’s methods had always been domineering. He set a special rule saying that since this was a science award ceremony, the people in the first three rows had to be scientists.
Even if one was a multimillionaire and had a noble status, they wouldn’t be able to sit in the first three rows if they were not a scientist.
However, Prof. Z was able to sit in the first row despite his young age. From this, one could see how high his social status was.
But…
Why was there an empty seat beside Professor Z?
As this thought appeared in Chu Qianshu’s mind, she heard someone at the side speaking in a low voice. “I heard Prof. Z is going to bring his family member here today! I wonder what sort of women could match him.”
Professor Z had never disclosed his gender or age in public.
But every time he published a paper, his language was concise and he wouldn’t use more words if he could use less. Such a style made everyone feel that Prof. Z was a benchmark among straightforward men in science.
As Chu Qianshu heard this, she started.
(Professor Z is already married?)
She immediately felt disappointed as she silently sighed, doing her best to suppress the disappointment.
A woman like her who was fully focused on scientific research naturally wouldn’t pay too much attention to the entertainment circle, let alone chase any idols. Hence, she didn’t know that Shen Ruojing was Qing Dai and Anonymous.
To Chu Qianshu, the male god in her heart was Professor Z.
Even though she didn’t know what Prof. Z looked like, she didn’t mind it. As long as he had two eyes and a nose, it was good enough for her. After all, what she was fond of was his inner quality.
Professor Z’s knowledge was enough for her to give him full marks.
Hence, she wondered what sort of woman was worthy of Professor Z!
Chu Qianshu’s heart was filled with jealousy as she was lost in thoughts. A moment later, she discovered the area beside her darkening.
She then turned her head and saw Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen beside her.
Shen Ruojing’s side profile could clearly be seen from where she was standing.
It was flawless. The bridge of her nose, the contours of her face, and her beautiful jawline were all extremely perfect. Even the strictest aesthetic experts wouldn’t be able to pinpoint anything wrong with her face.
A thought suddenly flashed in Chu Qianshu’s head. Would Prof. Z act like her eldest brother and found a vase to be his wife?
She pursed her lips and felt even more uncomfortable in her heart.
Her elder brother was a businessman, so it was fine even if he got a vase.
However, for someone holy and noble like Prof. Z, he better not let her be disappointed with his choice!
After indulging in fantasy, Chu Qianshu suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Eh?
Why did Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen come to the front?
She quickly tugged Shen Ruojing’s arm and glanced at the back. “Family members cannot sit in front. You all can only sit at the back.”
As her voice faded, she saw that the seats behind were already fully filled with people.
This scientific award ceremony gathered major characters from various industries. So, everyone with the slightest bit of fame in the scientific world would think of solutions that enabled them to come here so they could get acquainted with these VIPS.
Hence, the seats behind were filled.
Currently, there were only two more empty seats behind Chu Qianshu.
Hence, Chu Qianshui directly pointed behind her. “Why don’t you guys sit here?”
There were no more nameplates starting from the fourth row. Everyone could sit there casually.
One could say that the third row was a watershed. In addition, there were also security guards here to prevent scientists from acting too crazy and rushing to the first and second rows to disturb the major characters.
Shen Ruojing glanced at the seat with Professor Z’s nameplate on and could tell that all the seats in the first row were very comfortable.
In addition, the seat was currently very close to her. She could simply reach out and touch it.
However, Chu Qianshu kept pulling her back, not allowing her to go forward at all. She even whispered, “The first row seats are for the major characters. You cannot go there casually. The guards will only allow you to go there if someone from the first row summons you.”
Shen Ruojing. “…”
Her mouth opened and closed. And just as she wanted to speak, Chu Qianshui already placed her bag on one of the seats in the fourth row. “Quickly get seated, don’t stand around. Everyone is looking at the two of you.”
“…”
Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen exchanged a mutual glance as they helplessly twitched their lips.
Just when she was preparing to take out her invitation, a dark shadow suddenly flashed past her and even pushed her aside. After that, that figure sat down on the seat that Chu Qianshu had reserved with her bag. After the figure succeeded, she tossed Chu Qianshu’s bag to the ground.
Chu Qianshu angrily said, “Oi, I’ve already reserved this seat. How can you toss my bag away?”
Shen Ruojing frowned.
The person occupying the seat was none other than Shen Jiayi!
It was unknown how she had managed to enter. At this moment, she sat there arrogantly with her arms crossed. She smiled. “How can you reserve any seats in an event like this? You are too disrespectful to scientists!”
After speaking, Shen Jiayi looked at Chu Cichen. “Bro Chu, I know you are here to get acquainted with more specialists and scientists. My seat is very close to the front, so why don’t you sit beside me?”
Chu Cichen’s brows were furrowed as his countenance turned cold.
Chu Qianshu asked, “Who are you?”
Shen Jiayi laughed. “Aiya, I forgot to introduce myself. Actually, I majored in biomedical science and am currently a biomedicine researcher. I came in with my teacher. Bro Chu, your Chu Corporation is currently planning on focusing on the pharmaceutical industry, right? I can introduce my teacher to you! My teacher is acquainted with Professor Z. I heard that your company bought a patent from Prof. Z. If you sit beside me, I can get my teacher to link you and Professor Z up so you guys can cooperate on a deeper level. I’m sure if Professor Z joins your company, you guys will be like a tiger with wings in the pharmaceutical industry, and your development speed will be greatly enhanced~”
Chu Qianshu’s expression changed slightly after hearing this. “You are into scientific research?”
Shen Jiayi lifted her chin proudly. “Correct.”
Chu Qianshui. “In that case, you ought to be very clever!”
Shen Jiayi’s lips curled. “Still okay I guess.”
She had long since researched that Chu Cichen’s female cousin was a fan of scientific research. Since this was the case, after his cousin learned of her identity, his cousin should be supportive of her being together with Chu Cichen, right?
Shen Jiayi didn’t know what was going on with herself, but after she met Chu Cichen, she no longer had other men in her eyes.
She had to snatch Chu Cichen over!
However, she hadn’t expected that at the next instant, Chu Qianshu spoke in contempt, “Since you are so smart, why are you still seducing a married man?! This is simply throwing the face of us, female scientists!”
Shen Jiayi. “?”
She was badly angered. “What married man? They have yet to register their marriage!”
Chu Qianshu replied, “They already have children, so it’s considered that they are already in a union. It has nothing to do with whether they have the marriage certificate or not. Young miss, you don’t even have a nameplate here, so why are you acting so arrogant? I’ve already reserved this seat, so you better step aside!”
Shen Jiayi almost went crazy from rage. “No way! Although I don’t have a nameplate, I’m still a scientist. Shen Ruojing isn’t even one, so what qualifications does she have to be seated here?! Let me tell you guys something. If you make me angry, I’m going to shout loudly and attract attention. When the time comes, neither of us will be able to sit here!”
Chu Qianshu was also enraged.
She immediately looked at Shen Ruojing, only to see Shen Ruojing’s lips curling into a smile. “No problem, you can sit here.”
After that, she looked at Chu Cichen. “Come with me.”
