411 Inviting Professor Z Up The Stage! (2)
This caused him to involuntarily ponder. If his granddaughter was also in the scientific research field, would she also be able to carve out achievements for herself?
It was a pity her granddaughter was too old now. It was too late to nurture her.
If time could be rewound to ten years ago, he could train her to take his path…
As Shen Yuansong was pondering, the vice president couldn’t help but nag, “How good would it be if Prof. Z was someone that stood with us.”
Shen Ruojing. “…”
She turned her head and suddenly asked, “How do you know that he isn’t someone from your camp?”
The vice president started slightly and stared at her in puzzlement.
After that, he frowned and revealed an expression of loathing. As he didn’t reply to her, it was clear that he was very against her.
However, Shen Ruojing didn’t mind.
Just when Shen Yuansong was preparing to reprimand him, the host went up the stage and prompted Shen Yuansong to announce that the award ceremony had started.
Shen Yuansong was already old, and he only needed to say a single sentence. Hence, he didn’t go up the stage and remained in his seat. He received the mic that a staff member passed him and he said, “Let the award ceremony begin!”
After that, he passed the mic over.
But at this moment, a voice rang out. “President Shen, before the ceremony starts, shouldn’t you introduce to us who is the person sitting beside you?”
Shen Ruojing frowned and saw a man around sixty years old who was seated three seats away from them speaking up. He was none other than the presidential candidate that the vice president had spoken about earlier, the one who often had conflicts with Shen Yuansong.
After this person finished speaking, he laughed. “Is this our president’s wife? Actually, President Shen has yet to marry, and I also heard this young miss is unwed. In this case, you guys are proceeding openly and aboveboard, so I believe the rumors earlier must be a misunderstanding, right? President Shen, you better explain to us. If not, everyone might not be clear about the situation and would doubt your moral character!”
Although he said it was a misunderstanding, he was actually adding fuel to the flames.
Hence, Shen Yuansong’s countenance darkened as he spoke in rage, “Don’t talk nonsense here. My relationship with…Miss Shen is a simple doctor-and-patient relationship!”
“Oh? Doctor-and-patient relationship? I thought that…” That person stopped after saying this and laughed. He didn’t continue any further.
However, his words invoked the rage of everyone.
Earlier, the intimate actions between Shen Yuansong and Shen Ruojing already triggered the crowd’s unhappiness. Now that someone added fuel to the flames, the unhappiness began festering!
Some people immediately shouted.
“Old Master Shen, what are you doing? You failed to protect your moral integrity, so you are going to give up completely?”
“President Shen, I’m simply too disappointed in you. You’ve always been my mentor in scientific research. You once said that moral character is more important than ability. Is this the moral character you are talking about?”
“It’s one thing if you mingled with her privately, but you even brought her here to such an important event. Old Master Shen, what does our scientific research association count for in your eyes?”
“…”
Everyone began speaking out in doubt one after another, and the volume of their voices was very loud.
Shen Yuansong pursed his lips when he saw this situation.
All the people below were staring at him in concern. They wanted an answer.
The vice president involuntarily cast a look of rage at Shen Ruojing. What charm did this woman have exactly? She actually could cause President Shen to be so protective of her? In such a situation now, shouldn’t they quickly find someone to bring her away?!
Chu Qianshu who was seated in the third row was also clenching her fists.
She truly didn’t understand why her eldest brother wanted to bring her sister-in-law here to be insulted by others. Although she believed that there was nothing going on between Shen Ruojing and Shen Yuansong, their intimate actions still caused her to feel very uncomfortable!
Didn’t her sister-in-law know how to avoid being gossiped about?
Chu Qianshu inhaled deeply and felt extremely panicked in her heart.
She then looked at Lu Hui…
Luckily, Professor Z was here at this award ceremony, and his presence managed to soothe her nerves.
Shen Jiayi who was seated behind her excitedly sat up straight.
In the future, his prestige in the Shen Family would decline further. A muddle-headed old man that was bewitched by a vixen…how many would be convinced by him and submit to him?!
He deserved it!
Who told him to remove her father’s management position and act so unprotective toward his grandniece?!
After thinking of this, Shen Jiayi glanced at the surroundings and suddenly shouted, “Chase that woman out!”
It instantly caused a commotion.
Ever since ancient times, beautiful women had always been treated like trouble.
Everyone didn’t dare to blame Shen Yuansong as he had countless achievements throughout his lifetime. Hence, they could only transfer all their rage to Shen Ruojing.
If it wasn’t for this woman, how could Old Master Shen make such a mistake?!
When the emotions were ignited, those who were doubtful of Shen Yuansong also couldn’t help but shout in rage, “Femme fatale. Correct, chase that woman out!”
“The science world doesn’t permit her to be in this award ceremony!”
“A vixen! What method did she use exactly to charm Old Master Shen, causing him to make such a mistake?”
“Chase her out, chase her out!”
“…”
Shen Yuansong glanced at the agitated emotions of the crowd below and his fingers tightened.
The vice president persuaded him from the side, “President, just let Miss Shen leave first. If not, how can we continue with this event?”
Someone at the side looked at Shen Ruojing and said, “Miss, you should leave for President Shen’s sake. If not, if everyone’s anger is inflamed, the security guards might not be able to control the situation.”
Shen Ruojing didn’t speak. She still remained cool and collected.
She then turned her head to look at Shen Yuansong, only to see her maternal grandfather staring in the distance with a resolute look in his gaze. He stood up and waved his hands to quell the noise. After that, he spoke into the mic, “My relationship with Miss Shen is my private matter. Now, I only want to say one thing. The innocent shall always be innocent.”
After saying that, he directly looked at the host. “Let the award ceremony begin!”
His domineering attitude caused the crowd below to be even more unhappy.
“The innocent shall always be innocent? But are you innocent?”
“My god, how does he have the cheek to utter such words?”
“Things have reached such a stage, yet he still refuses to chase this woman out. Such protectiveness is abnormal!”
“…”
Under the fervent discussion of the crowd, the host on stage immediately began the hosting procedure. Although her voice was a little panicky, it still rang out loud through the area. “Today, it is our blessing to be able to invite Professor Z here. Can we please put our hands together for Prof. Z to invite him to give the opening speech?!”
After these words were spoken, the scene fell silent.
Shen Yuansong did trigger everyone’s rage, but Prof. Z was the character everyone felt the most curious about!
After all, the things Prof. Z had developed from his research were leading the entire world in biomedicine!
Everyone felt extremely curious about him, so they turned in unison to look at Lu Hui.
Even Chu Qianshu discarded her worry about her sis-in-law. Her eyes were gleaming as she turned to look at Prof. Z.
One of the staff members walked toward Lu Hui and made a gesture of invitation to him. Lu Hui spoke concisely, “I apologize, I’m not Prof. Z. Professor Z is over there…”
He pointed to a seat located in the center.
Everyone’s vision immediately gathered in the area he pointed at.
Prof. Z was seated there? But those characters there had nameplates. Hence, some people even speculated that Professor Z was a sock-puppet account of one of the major characters here. This couldn’t possibly be true, right?
Just when everyone’s thoughts were flying wildly, a slender figure suddenly stood up.
It was actually…Shen Ruojing!!!
