She flipped through the data while occasionally lifting her eyes to observe Jiang Yourong’s reactions, attempting to capture the other person’s emotional changes and points of interest.
The conversation lasted about an hour.
The initially slightly awkward atmosphere gradually ward up as the exchange deepened, becoming full of laughter and talk.
Shen Yuyan’s emotional intelligence was extrely high, her words appropriate and her manners natural, neither overly familiar nor lacking in friendliness.
Skillfully steering the topic and responding accordingly, she quickly gained Jiang Yourong’s trust and liking.
Taking a sip of tea, she smiled slightly, her tone gentle yet with a touch of concern: "Professor Jiang, I hear the university has strict criteria for horizontal research funds for associate professors like you. I was wondering what the requirent is at our school?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yourong raised her eyebrows slightly, remained silent for a mont, and slowly said: "The pressure in science and engineering has always been considerable, especially in popular fields like computer science. As an associate professor like myself, the yearly required horizontal funding is 700,000 yuan. To be honest, this number is not easy to achieve."
Shen Yuyan’s eyes flashed slightly, and she nodded thoughtfully, "700,000... It’s certainly not a small amount."
She paused, her tone warm and sincere: "Our President Tang always pays close attention to investnt opportunities in cutting-edge technology fields, especially valuing the transformation and application of university research results. And you, Professor Jiang, are precisely the type of professional talent he particularly admires."
She paused briefly, her gaze becoming serious, "Once I return, I will suggest to President Tang whether we can establish a targeted commissioned research plan with your team. If feasible, it could help you complete the school’s tasks and provide professional technical evaluation support for Yimai Technology."
Jiang Yourong was slightly stunned upon hearing this, instantly understanding the other party’s aning, unable to help but feel her heart race.
So things she was not too comfortable discussing with Tang Song, fearing he might think she was too rcenary or calculative.
After all, the President Tang she t in Imperial City those years left her with an extrely profound impression, making her admire him greatly in her heart.
But if Assistant Shen spoke, Tang Song certainly would not refuse.
Indeed, this was a win-win situation.
Imdiately, her gaze toward Shen Yuyan underwent a subtle change.
During their chat, she casually ntioned she would visit a company next Tuesday to discuss horizontal research, unexpectedly the other party seized upon her most urgent need.
A truly smart person.
Jiang Yourong secretly admired, reflecting that when she worked under Jin ixiao back then, she didn’t have such sharp emotional intelligence and insight.
If she had been more decisive at that ti, she might have replaced Shangguan Qiuya long ago, becoming Chairman Jin’s real "right-hand man."
She pondered for a mont, and gently nodded: "Then I’ll trouble you, Assistant Shen."
"You’re too kind, just call Yuyan." Shen Yuyan laughed in response, her gaze carrying a touch of respect and closeness, "Honestly, I have always admired professors like you and hope to beco friends with you."
Jiang Yourong chuckled lightly, her eyes bending slightly: "Then I won’t be formal, Yuyan, you shouldn’t call ’Professor Jiang,’ just call Sister Yourong."
"Alright, Sister Yourong!" Shen Yuyan replied briskly, then casually asked, "Sister Yourong, I heard you worked at Smile Holding? Did you have contact with Chairman Jin?"
Jiang Yourong smiled, "Of course I had contact, this may sound incredible, but I even worked as Chairman Jin’s assistant, mainly responsible for project evaluation in the internet and technology sectors."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuyan’s eyes opened wide, shining with light, her entire person seemingly ignited, "Really?! Can you tell about Chairman Jin? She’s my idol!"
Her admiration for Jin ixiao was heartfelt and started from university.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yourong once served as Chairman Jin’s assistant, this was truly a delightful surprise.
Jiang Yourong was also infected by the other party’s enthusiasm, initially only chatting casually, but now it seed a certain long-lost emotion was awakened.
A flicker of nostalgia appeared in her eyes, softening her tone a bit: "That was indeed a very special period."
As she described, Shen Yuyan’s gaze beca increasingly fervent, her body unconsciously leaning slightly forward.
The Jin ixiao depicted by Jiang Yourong wasn’t the mysterious figure in dia, nor the fragnted rumors online, but the real Chairman Jin existing in eting rooms, offices, and project sites.
Cool and elegant, with her own magnetic field;
Calm, rational, powerful, nearly perfect;
A born leader, exceptionally talented, and extraordinarily capable.
The tales made her blood boil, her emotions surge, like she had downed ten bowls of spiritual chicken soup at once.
"Sister Yourong." She finally couldn’t help but speak, her voice slightly excited, "Then why did you leave? Being Chairman Jin’s assistant, isn’t this a dream opportunity for many?"
She lowered her head and patted her plump, soft thighs, a trace of a bitter smile appearing at the corner of her mouth, shaking her head: "Mainly the work pressure was too high... I was too young back then and unwilling to endure hardship."
She paused, her gaze sowhat drifting, "Another reason, probably starting around April 2017, Chairman Jin’s state suddenly beca different, she often got angry. In a mont of impulse, I resigned and went to pursue a PhD.
Speaking of, during the period before I resigned, Chairman Jin often listened to Su Yu’s songs.
Tis changed, over 6 years have passed, one beca the world’s richest woman, the other beca a super superstar..."
At five in the afternoon, the sky dimd, and a magnificent sunset floated outside the window.
