Di Xiqun was the company’s R&D manager. He had a PhD and was also the company’s core technical backbone. “He’s sitting in the second row. He’s the boss. It’s already good enough for us to sit back here,” he whispered.

Qi Mei raised her head and looked around. As expected, she saw Yu Nan sit in the front. The seats were indeed carefully arranged by the organizer.

Qi Mei sat quietly in her seat, but people kept coming to greet her from time to time. She was familiar with some of them, but she had never met the rest of them before. Soon she received a handful of business cards. At the same time, she also handed out a lot of her own business cards.

The venue was alive with all kinds of noises. At this moment, the door to the inner hall opened, and a group of people walked out.

The cameraman, who was holding the camera in boredom, pressed the shutter.

“The team of Longxiang also came,” Di Xiqun said in surprise.

Qi Mei raised her head subconsciously. The man in the lead was dressed in a simple black suit, his shirt collar slightly open, and he was outstandingly tall and slender.

Some people were indeed born to be in the spotlight. They could attract everyone’s attention the moment they appeared.

“That’s the ultimate goal for every man.” Di Xiqun, who was standing at the side, also sensed the obvious change in the atmosphere after Song Bojian’s arrival. He clicked his tongue in wonder.

Qi Mei looked at him and asked calmly, “Is that so?”

“What do you mean?”

“I just think that his eyesight isn’t too good,” Qi Mei said flatly.

“What? Bad eyesight? Who said that? Did he always have this problem? Inherited or acquired?” Di Xiqun kept asking as if he had heard some gossip.

But Qi Mei went silent afterward. She did think that Song Bojian’s eyesight was bad, otherwise, why didn’t he reply to her? Did he really not see it, or was he pretending not to see it?

She wasn’t a petty person. She just felt that he should at least reply out of politeness. At first, she thought that Song Bojian was too busy out on a business trip like before. However, when she saw him at the venue, she had mixed feelings in her heart.

She quickly realized that something was wrong with her mentality. After all, they were just high school classmates who hadn’t seen each other for many years and reunited recently…

Soon, the host began to speak, and the meeting officially began.

Qi Mei took out the notebook and pen given by the organizer and noted down some of the key points. People who could give a speech here were not for nothing. Thus, she listened while scribbling in her notebook with her head lowered.

Suddenly, the phone on her lap vibrated. She froze at the sight of the WeChat message she received. It was from Song Bojian,

[Are you absent-minded?]

Qi Mei instantly raised her head and glanced at the stage. At this moment, Song Bojian was also looking in her direction.

Though they were so far apart, their gazes met in the air.

She was some distance from him, so she could only vaguely see the corners of his mouth curl up. However, for some reason, after seeing his WeChat message, the inexplicable emotions she had seemed to disappear.

She replied to him.

[I’m taking notes.]

There was no reply immediately.

Her fingers froze on the screen. After thinking for a long time, she sent another one.

[I’ll return the coat to you when it’s convenient for you. I asked you once before, but you didn’t reply.]

This time, Song Bojian replied very quickly.

[You sent me a message before? I have two phones. I used the other phone to log in to WeChat before, but it was drenched when I was eating yesterday.]

She knew that once people logged in to WeChat with a new phone, the previous chat history would disappear. But she suddenly felt like he was explaining to her.

She puckered up her lips and chuckled.

[I got it.]

…

There were two industry bigwigs giving speeches in the morning, and there was a Q&A session. Therefore, after the first person finished speaking, there was a break.

Qi Mei got up and went to the restroom. But there were too many people waiting in line before the restroom, and she could only go to the second floor to find another one.

Not long after she walked out of the restroom, she met an unexpected person.

“Mr. Chen.” Qi Mei looked at him in surprise.

Chen Tu used to be their company’s chief architect and Qi Mei’s immediate superior.

When Chen Tu saw her, he looked cold. Actually, there was no direct conflict between them. Chen Tu and Yu Nan had different ideologies, but what did it have to do with her? Since Chen Tu had no intention of responding to her, she did not need to be overly enthusiastic. But just as she was about to leave…

“Qi Mei.”

Chen Tu called out to stop her with a chilly look. “Do you think you can hold on to the position as the chief architect without me?”
