Young Lady of a Prestigious Family (11)

"Did you know Ye Ke from before?" The academician was no fool, upon witnessing the exchanges between Ye Ke and Ye Shaohua, it became clear to him that the two were at odds. He couldn't help but ask.

Both of them were important figures in the laboratory, especially Ye Shaohua.

"It's nothing, it won't affect our collaboration," Ye Shaohua understood what the academician was thinking and replied.

"That's good," the academician breathed a sigh of relief, "However, this Ye Ke is a bit strange. She doesn't seem like you; she has more talent in computing than the average person, but definitely can't compare to you. Oddly enough, every piece of programming she presents surpasses our current developmental level."

It was actually because Ye Ke presented a software concept that was nearly a decade ahead of its time during a competition that she got scouted by the Imperial City laboratory early on.

Hearing this, Ye Shaohua raised an eyebrow. The academician's words made her curious. She had seen Ye Ke's software; indeed, they were impressive, but according to the academician, they didn't seem like something Ye Ke could produce.

Unless, those weren't actually Ye Ke's own work.

Thinking of Ye Ke's reincarnated identity, Ye Shaohua's eyes narrowed slightly. If that was the case, Ye Ke was shameless to some degree.

The next day, outside the First People's Hospital of Imperial City.

"Sister, are you really not going in to see Dad?" Ye Han stood outside the car door, asking Ye Shaohua one last time.

Ye Shaohua leaned against the car door slightly, "No need, I'll wait for you here."

Ye Han entered the hospital doors with a touch of disappointment.

Emerging with a middle-aged man from the hospital gate, Fu Jiachen immediately spotted the lazily leaning figure against the car door.

Her features were picturesque, her expression cool. The morning light shone on her, turning her almost into a stunning painting.

Even the most hurried passerby slowed their pace at the sight of her, as if afraid to disturb her.

Fu Jiachen had not encountered Ye Shaohua many times, but Ye Shaohua was too distinctive. No matter how crowded the setting, no matter how many years passed, he would recognize her at a glance.

"Mr. Fu?" The middle-aged man spoke in his faltering Chinese alongside him.

"Dr. Ryan, I'm just going to greet a friend," Fu Jiachen said as he walked towards Ye Shaohua.

Ye Shaohua was looking down, seemingly playing a game. Unable to resist, Fu Jiachen was the first to speak. "I heard from Ake that you've also joined the lab?"

"Is she also a friend of Miss Ye?" Dr. Ryan asked with some excitement. "Does she know about automation intelligence?"

Ye Shaohua glanced at Fu Jiachen and Dr. Ryan, showing no significant change in expression, merely nodding slightly before taking a phone call. Her expression carried a bit more vivacity than before.

Fu Jiachen shook his head slightly upon seeing Ye Shaohua like this.

Dr. Ryan was the head of the J Country laboratory and possessed extraordinary talent in computing. He was one of the leading figures internationally. Anyone who studied computing knew of Dr. Ryan, a representative of J Country's networking technology.

Dr. Ryan had come to Imperial City because Ye Ke had rushed out a network intelligence design the previous night, and he couldn't wait to come to Hua Country the moment he saw the few points Ye Ke had raised.

Seeing Ye Shaohua so casual, even laughing on the phone, Fu Jiachen frowned. He had heard two years ago that Ye Shaohua was admitted to the Computer Science Academy at Stanford, a university he was certainly aware of, far better than University Beijing. But now it seemed, Ye Shaohua who graduated from such a prestigious university was just so-so.

In the lab, anyone who heard the words "network intelligence design" and Dr. Ryan's name would be thrilled, definitely seizing the chance to interact with Dr. Ryan, unlike Ye Shaohua, who was nonchalant.

Recalling what Ye Ke had said the previous evening about stirring the IT world, and now seeing Ye Shaohua's demeanor, Fu Jiachen knew that even among the talented, there were differences.

Ye Shaohua might be from a more famous university than Ye Ke, but she still couldn't catch up with Ye Ke.

Thinking of this, Fu Jiachen let Dr. Ryan go to the car first, while he appraised Ye Shaohua's ordinary car, casually lighting a cigarette, and spoke nonchalantly, "Life must not be easy for you now, eh?"

Ye Shaohua glanced at him, making sure he was speaking to her.

"You went abroad two years ago, it must not be easy for a girl to fend for herself," Fu Jiachen glanced at Ye Shaohua's expensive-looking clothes. "However, the person you're with clearly doesn't value you enough, huh? A Volkswagen is all it took to send you away?"

"What are you talking about?" Ye Shaohua detected something in his words, her brows furrowing deeply as she faced Fu Jiachen.

"Don't pretend you don't understand what I'm saying," Fu Jiachen fixed his gaze on her overly captivating face. "You chose to study computer science instead of learning Go, just because you wanted to be like Ake, didn't you?"

Ye Shaohua hadn't hung up her phone yet, her face took on a look of disbelief.

"That person won't be sincere with you, look, he wouldn't even buy you a car. What about when you're old and your beauty fades?" Fu Jiachen pressed on relentlessly.

In the end, he said, "Leave that person. After all, we used to be acquainted, and you almost married into the Fu family. How about one million a month? Of course, don't expect Ye Han to help you, now that the Ye Family is in Ake's hands."

Having followed Ye Ke for the past few years, Fu Jiachen's family wealth had doubled. Recently, he had worked with the Gu Family in collaboration with Ye Ke.

He, like Ye Ke, thought that Ye Shaohua was just an ordinary college student with no financial independence.

Offering her so many benefits was somewhat out of pity for her, she shouldn't greedily ask for more.

Wait a second, Ye Shaohua's thoughts caught up. The racing car she had spent nearly eighty million to modify, that she didn't want to make a fuss about so she just put on a Volkswagen badge, was perceived by Fu Jiachen as nothing more than an ordinary Volkswagen? The same supercar she wouldn't sell for a billion?

Ye Shaohua had lived for many years, but none was as amusing as today's event.

What a joke, she, the founder of Xinghe with a net worth of tens of billions, could be bought with a mere million?
