Nora Scott was scrolling on her phone on the road.
The morning art exhibition had gained a lot of traction, supported by official broadcasts and online livestreams, coupled with Rosa Sullivan’s hype as a participant, stirring the online onlookers into a buzz, volunteering as promoters, making the initial livestream quite popular. The mont "Automatic Factory" was showcased, its popularity skyrocketed.
This was not just an art exhibition.
It was also bringing honor to the nation.
When "Automatic Factory" was displayed, it genuinely stunned the audience both online and offline, and soon after, soone edited the video of the "Automatic Factory" for individual clips, spreading them wildly across the web, with Rosa Sullivan as the focal point of the explanation.
Besides comntators with patriotic feelings and those impressed into submission, even many official accounts forwarded and shared it.
The spotlight was on them.
Even headlines like "Automatic Factory Stuns the World" were pushed out.
"That’s it?"
After watching the viral video, Nora Scott was really unimpressed.
"In terms of quality and effect," Pedro Langley, sitting next to her, watched the video out of convenience and fairly evaluated, "it’s deserving of such popularity."
Nora Scott shot him a sidelong glance.
So, driven by a strong survival instinct, Pedro Langley added, "Of course, nothing compared to you."
"..."
Though they both considered this the absolute truth, saying it at this mont seed awkward and out of place.
The two exchanged a silent glance and decided to bypass this topic.
Aaron Scott’s so-called "Automatic Factory," was actually just a concept. Similar to Nora Scott’s 1101 project idea, it used natural resources for factory operations, eliminating the need for electricity. The internal chanisms were interconnected using ancient black technology to create a modern factory.
However, the concept was rely a concept.
They hadn’t fully implented the technology, only creating a rough model based on the idea. Its novelty showed a technology others had never seen before, earning thunderous applause.
The car arrived at the exhibition parking lot.
Just as Pedro Langley was about to get out with Nora Scott, she stopped him, "You better not co out yet; let go first."
"Hm?"
"Secret romance," Nora reminded.
"..."
Once again, Pedro Langley faced the consequences of his actions, being left completely behind by Nora Scott.

Inside the hall, first floor.
It was too cold outside, so after walking for about two minutes, Nora Scott walked inside with a chill.
She slightly lowered the brim of her wide hat, put on sunglasses, and seamlessly blended into the crowd. Occasionally attracting sideways glances, she maintained a composed deanor, making others doubt their recognition and quickly shift their gaze.
"Grandma!"
Shaw, who had been waiting for a long ti, imdiately recognized Nora Scott and scampered over.
His loud call drew considerable attention, and Nora Scott gave him a cold glance through her sunglasses, causing Shaw to stiffen and quickly shut his mouth, toning down his body language as well.
Getting closer to Nora Scott, Shaw whispered, "Half an hour to our turn."
"Oh."
Nora responded blandly.
Then she asked, "Which floor?"
"Second floor, Area B."
So, Nora Scott followed Shaw to the second floor.
At this mont—
Online on the live broadcast platform, a certain channel.
[Is that the one going up the stairs, Nora Scott?]
[Looks quite like her!]
[Guessing she secretly follows Rosa Sullivan. Rosa stirred such a big news, she couldn’t sit still and ca to check it out, haha, still wearing a hat and sunglasses—afraid she wouldn’t be special enough and unnoticed by others?]
[Does she have to be involved in everything? Is she here to ride the coattails?]
[Later surely she’ll be seen interacting with so international master, live broadcasting for exposure and marketing yet again. But without work, how can she compare with Rosa Sullivan?]
[Is she at odds with Rosa Sullivan? Wherever there’s Rosa Sullivan, you can find Nora Scott. I’m impressed. Miss Sullivan, run!]
[Which channels cover the second floor? I want to keep watch!]
...
Because Nora Scott naturally carried topics, once sharp-eyed viewers noticed her, comnts flooded in talking about her, drawing the audience’s interest entirely toward her, switching channels to locate her. And once soone found her, they’d enthusiastically share the news around.
Thus, the person unnoticed by the exhibition-goers, even the live host, was collectively observed by millions of viewers online.
After reaching the second floor, Nora Scott and Shaw t Ryan Ford, who had just co out.
"Nora Scott?"
Ryan Ford glanced at her, slightly frowning with evident surprise.
Nora Scott turned to Shaw and asked, "What’s he doing here?"
"He might be involved in one of the exhibits," Shaw said, "Plus, this scale of an exhibition is so rare; it’s the first since the founding of the country. Many people ca over."
"Oh."
Nora Scott seed to understand.
anwhile, online viewers spotting the group on a certain channel—
[Just saw soone accurately predicting this. The one speaking with Nora Scott, so young, yet a genius professor, from Fenton University. They’re super famous in the industry.]
[Being called Grandma by the academic circle, knowing such a genius doesn’t seem surprising.]
[I just don’t get it, what does Nora Scott actually create? Besides a couple of action comics pandering to the audience, what else can she do?!]
[Haha, she’s pretty and well-connected. No talent for bamboo flute, yet Master Linfield begged her to be an apprentice; without acting skills, she was cast as the second lead in "Reversing Life"; no academic works, no undergraduate degree, can’t even write an SCI paper, yet conquered half the academic circles... Truly an over-leveled woman, remarkable.]

Fans: Everyone’s sarcasm doesn’t seem so wrong?
