“Who is this?”
“Isn’t this the infamous Xia Wanyuan online?”
There were also different groups within the finance newspaper. The new media team was in charge of Weibo promotions and often spent time online. Naturally, they were more familiar with people from the entertainment industry. Although Xia Wanyuan had a bad reputation, her appearance was too eye-catching. Hence, the people in the Weibo operations team immediately recognized her.
“Is she very popular?”
“She’s not that popular, but quite a lot of people talk about her. The sales volume will be able to reach this time. Let’s go back and write our scripts.”
In the auditorium, Li Nian brought Xia Wanyuan to sit in the corridor of the first row.
“Miss Xia, the teacher is sorting out the script behind. He wants to invite you to gather after the lecture. Please wait for a while after the lecture.”
“Alright.”
After speaking, Li Nian had to help maintain order and left first.
It was the first time Xia Wanyuan had attended a lecture at a modern university, so it was rather novel. She looked around. The first row was close to the big screen, and the screen was rolling with Old Zhong’s personal introduction and book theory.
Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting in the first row, was watching the video, while the person beside her was watching her. She was as beautiful as jade and as beautiful as jade.
“Miss Xia, let’s get to know each other. My name is Xuan Sheng.”
Xia Wanyuan was reading the introduction to Elder Zhong’s latest work when a familiar voice sounded from the person sitting beside her.
Xia Wanyuan turned her head. Xuan Sheng was looking at her with his smiling amorous eyes. It was clearly an extremely formal occasion. Xuan Sheng was wearing an official suit, but he was leaning lazily against the back of the chair. A black diamond ear stud on his right ear was shining with a dark light, making him look extremely charming.
It was as if this was not a lecture but a movie award ceremony. Xuan Sheng was not a guest but a top celebrity who was about to go on stage to receive the award.
….
Xia Wanyuan felt that this person was a little persistent.
“I’m going to be the guest speaker later. It’s a coincidence that I ran into Miss Xia here.”
Sensing the wariness in Xia Wanyuan’s eyes, Xuan Sheng explained.
“Mm.”
With that, Xia Wanyuan turned her attention back to the video on the screen.
Seeing Xia Wanyuan’s cold and unyielding expression, a hint of a smile flashed across Xuan Sheng’s eyes. He did not speak to Xia Wanyuan anymore.
The lecture quickly began with the host’s opening address.
With a manuscript in hand, Elder Zhong went on stage. His gaze met Xia Wanyuan’s, and he nodded slightly. Xia Wanyuan smiled back at him, and Elder Zhong began his lecture.
As expected of a heavyweight professor, he began from the economic structure of the country to the current stock market structure.
Xia Wanyuan had never heard of such a financing market in her previous life. After reading magazines for a few days, she had gained some understanding and was very interested. Hence, she listened attentively.
Occasionally, Xuan Sheng would turn his head and see Xia Wanyuan’s side profile, which was listening intently. When he heard something suspicious, Xia Wanyuan’s delicate brows furrowed. Like a small fan, it fanned a hint of wind into his heart, making him feel a little floaty.
“Does anyone have any doubts or better opinions?”
Twenty minutes passed, and the entire hall was silent. Elder Zhong spoke for a while before stopping to communicate with everyone.
“About the bond issues Professor Zhong just discussed. I think…”
What Elder Zhong said was profound to begin with, so most of the people present did not dare to speak casually. Just as everyone fell silent, Xuan Sheng spoke.
Xuan Sheng’s angle was tricky and the proposal he proposed was risky. However, it had to be said that it was a feasible plan. Elder Zhong nodded as he listened. This new business genius was indeed a little amazing. The young people nowadays were really amazing.
Elder Zhong and Xuan Sheng chatted for a full ten minutes. Everyone watched Xuan Sheng calmly exchange opinions with Elder Zhong and reevaluated the value of this new talent.
Although Xia Wanyuan did not understand some of what he said, she could sense his ambition and ability from his actions and words.
After communicating with Xuan Sheng about the new solution, Elder Zhong continued the topic.
Elder Zhong ended his lecture fifteen minutes earlier than expected.
Although Xia Wanyuan had been listening intently, she did not quite understand some of the words. Coincidentally, Elder Zhong had just finished his lecture when Xuan Sheng turned his head. “Miss Xia, if there’s anything you don’t understand, I’m willing to help you answer it.”
Just as Xia Wanyuan was about to speak, there was a sudden commotion in the hall. Someone in the crowd even exclaimed.
Xia Wanyuan looked up and met a pair of deep eyes.
Jun Shiling glanced at Xia Wanyuan, then shifted his gaze to Xuan Sheng, who was leaning towards Xia Wanyuan.
Li Nian, who was following behind Jun Shiling, trembled. God, why was Young Master Jun’s coldness getting stronger? It was so cold that her neck turned cold.
At this moment, Xuan Sheng’s gaze also looked towards Jun Shiling. One was playful, while the other was cold. The two gazes met briefly in the air before moving away. However, both parties had a preliminary estimate of each other.
“Oh my god, is that the Master of the Jun family?”
“Wow, I can brag about seeing Jun Shiling once in my life.”
“I didn’t expect to see not only Elder Zhong’s lecture but also Young Master Xuan and the head of the Jun family. This trip was worth it.”
Because of Jun Shiling’s appearance, everyone was abuzz with discussion.
“I’m sure everyone knows this little friend. This is the current head of the Jun family, Jun Shiling. He’s also giving me, Old Zhong, face. Jun Shiling will share the remaining fifteen minutes with everyone today.”
Elder Zhong smiled and led Jun Shiling to the podium. In fact, he had only known that Jun Shiling was coming an hour ago.
He glanced at Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting below the stage. The young people nowadays were really clingy. They could not even leave the time for the lecture. Elder Zhong smiled and shook his head, his eyes full of smiles.
However, the fact that Jun Shiling was willing to come and give a lecture at Qing University gave him face. After all, Jun Shiling rarely spoke in public.
Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion. Why didn’t Jun Shiling mention that he would be attending Elder Zhong’s lecture at noon?
Jun Shiling began his speech. What Jun Shiling chose was the most cutting-edge topic at the moment, and very few people understood it. However, with his extremely rich practical experience and strong logical ability, Jun Shiling explained the topic clearly in a few minutes.
If one were to say that Xuan Sheng had just set off a small climax, the impact that Jun Shiling had on everyone was undoubtedly tremendous.
Oh my god, this is the powerful thinking ability of a big shot. Mortals like us can’t catch up to him.
The hall was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard. Jun Shiling was dressed in a black suit as he stood in front of the podium and explained in a calm but powerful tone. His handsome face, which was as good-looking as a god, was already exuding elegance. The confidence, calmness, and power to control everything that came from his bones intimidated everyone present.
Everyone listened attentively and reveled in Jun Shiling’s business world.
Jun Shiling’s speech ended when exactly fifteen minutes passed.
For fifteen minutes, Jun Shiling’s gaze swept across the entire hall as the speech progressed, except for Xia Wanyuan’s seat. Other than the first glance, Jun Shiling had never looked at her area again.
