Airport Exit
When Jiang Shiyi arrived, he imdiately saw the reception team from the laboratory, a group of five, holding a sign and flowers, eagerly looking around. As he silently walked to their side, a few of them turned their heads to glance at him a few tis.
In a white shirt and suit pants, he was tall, and though his features weren’t extraordinarily handso, his aura was impossible to ignore, elegant as jade.
Among the Jiang Family siblings, apart from Jiang Jinsang who was preparing for his wedding, he was the most talked about.
Having lived abroad since childhood, he returned to the country and openly confronted his biological father, and stood out at the Second Master Jiang’s wedding. Many felt he was mysterious and unpredictable. Many in the circle had seen him, but not many ordinary people had truly t him.
They only thought there was a handso guy standing nearby. Seeing that the reception team was all male, they looked a bit more before continuing their own discussions.
"...To actually see such a big shot, if I had known, I would have applied to attend the conference too. Unfortunately, my girlfriend said it’s too long to leave and wouldn’t let go."
"Group Leader Lin’s public experint this ti was highly praised in the industry. It earned face for our country and our lab. I’m sure the director will comnd her when we get back."
"Talented, from a prestigious school, and look at her ntor relationships. Otherwise, why would the director poach her back?"
"The catfish effect, to motivate us to work harder."
...
Jiang Shiyi hadn’t expected a group of n to gossip so much, so he decisively moved further away, found a spot to rest, and waited patiently.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the group from the laboratory ca out, their uniform coats standing out conspicuously.
"Hey—Teacher Qiu, over here." Soone next to Jiang Shiyi waved the sign in their hand. The so-called Teacher Qiu was evidently the group leader, a mature and stable-looking man in his forties or fifties.
As the only woman in the team, she received special treatnt. As soon as she ca out, a bouquet of flowers was shoved into her arms. Besides congratulating her, they ntioned that a car was waiting outside, and arrangents for a welco dinner had been made.
"Group Leader Lin, do you want to ride in my car?"
"Or maybe take mine. I watched your experint, it was brilliant. I have a few questions I’d like to ask."
The group of n who were fervently discussing her earlier were now vying for her attention.
At this mont, her arm was nudged by her assistant, "Group Leader, why is Third Young Master Jiang here?"
Because of Tang Wan’s case, the assistant had co to recognize the Jiang Family mbers.
"Third Young Master Jiang? Where?" Others from the laboratory, who had never t the Jiang Family, were curious after hearing this.
To them, the Jiang Family could only be seen in gossip news.
"Over there."
Everyone followed the assistant’s pointed direction, and as she lifted her eyes, she saw Jiang Shiyi.
They exchanged a glance, polite with a faint touch of distance.
Amidst the many greeters, his overall presence remained understated. Unlike many who were ostentatious, he carried no trace of worldly clamor or glamour, proud yet restrained. Noticing her gaze, he barely curled his lips, embodying elegance in every gesture.
There are many beautiful people, but few with such flawless bone structure, and Jiang Shiyi was one of them.
The laboratory’s reception team exchanged looks, feeling slightly awkward.
They had gossiped quite a bit right in front of him earlier.
"He must also be here to pick soone up, quite a coincidence," the assistant remarked with a smile, "Group Leader, shall we go over and say hello?"
She squinted her doe eyes a little.
"But we do know him, right?" the assistant smiled.
Seeing her silence, the assistant closed his mouth sullenly, thinking to himself how their group leader was overly aloof, spending all day on experints and disliking social interactions, practically oblivious to human niceties.
However, she turned around and stuffed the flowers into his arms, "Sorry everyone, I have so matters to attend to, I won’t be joining you."
After saying this, she looked at her assistant, "Send the restaurant’s address later, I’ll go there myself. As for my luggage, please keep it for ."
The assistant was bewildered, wondering what their group leader was up to.
After saying this, she walked straight towards Jiang Shiyi...
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Jiang Shiyi greeted them from a distance, and the two walked side by side, leaving everyone’s view.
"What’s going on? What’s their relationship, is Third Young Master Jiang here to pick her up?"
Everyone looked toward her assistant, but the assistant was just as bewildered, "Don’t look at , I have no idea."
"There’s sothing unusual here."
"To co and pick soone up, the relationship must be extraordinary. Group Leader Lin has hidden this well. Maybe we should invite Third Young Master Jiang to join us for dinner later?"
...
The group continued their discussion, while the two walked towards the parking lot.
