When someone mentioned Xia Jun, Gu Ming subconsciously looked over at Professor Wang and found that his face had indeed darkened.

  But Hei Gui He still didn't say anything, and Xia Jun only published a paper that won an award, temporarily becoming the new star in the circle, and everyone mentioned it casually before moving on to other topics.

  Perhaps to accommodate these Eastern guests, the hotel's dinner took the form of a Chinese-style buffet. After Gu Miao followed Professor Wang in greeting everyone they needed to greet, he found a seat and sat down by himself.

  "Why don't you sit with Professor Wang?" Gu Mei had just taken two bites when Qin Sheng arrived by her side.

  Qin Sheng held a plate in his hand and saw that there was an empty seat next to Gu Mian, so he sat down naturally.

  "Professor Wang hasn't met with friends for a long time, and now it's just chatting about old times. Where can I go to follow the professor around?" Gu Mian blinked at Qin Sheng.

  Qin Sheng smiled slightly and nodded in agreement with Gu Mian's words.

  Qin Sheng rarely took the initiative to lean over, and since there was no one else around to disturb them, Gu Mian asked in a low voice: "You and Mr. Qiao have both arrived, has Old Xue also come?"

  "How did you think of that?" Qin Sheng slightly tilted his head, the soft light in the restaurant shone on his tilted face, forming a small shadow.

  "A woman's intuition." Gu Ming thought for a moment and smiled in response.

  "It seems that a woman's intuition is quite accurate, this is something I should remember well." Qin Sheng nodded matter-of-factly.

  Although he didn't say it directly that Old Xue had also arrived, this one sentence was enough for Gu Mian to completely understand.

  "There are several days for the exchange meeting, and when you have free time, do you want to go out and take a stroll. I've been here for a while, so I'm more familiar with this side, if you don't mind, I can be your tour guide." Qin Sheng proposed.

  "Great, I was thinking of that too. It's like finding a pillow when you're drowsy." Gu Ming had been pondering whether to wander around alone or with Professor Wang, but now that Qin Sheng has offered to accompany him, it's naturally much better than wandering aimlessly in a foreign country by himself.

  They rarely had the opportunity to sit down and eat together, at this time they casually said a few words and both felt quite comfortable. They started discussing where to go during their free time.

  Gu Mei and Qin Sheng were chatting happily on this side, but someone nearby saw them and wasn't very pleased, tapping their chopsticks against the plate with a "ding ding" sound.

  Fortunately, she sat in a relatively secluded place, and there weren't many people around, otherwise it would have been really embarrassing to lose face abroad.

  Wang Juan saw that the handsome guy she just met today was lukewarm towards her. But when facing Gu Mian, he had a familiar look on his face. All the old and new grievances were put on Gu Mian's head, and in her heart, she secretly scolded Gu Mian as a born fox spirit. Everything that happens to men is all about seducing them.

  Professor Wang was dragged by Gu Mei to wherever she went, and that Qin Sheng was also dragged over, chatting and laughing, it really made her feel unbearable.

  "Miss, could you please be quieter?" Just then, someone suddenly spoke up beside her as Wang Juan was fiercely scrubbing the plate in her hand.

  Wang Juan looked up and saw a young man with glasses sitting at a table not far away, looking at her with a hint of displeasure on his face.

  At this moment, Wang Juan was already in a bad mood. Suddenly hearing someone scolding her made her even angrier, but she still remembered that this wasn't a place where she could lose her temper freely. After taking a few deep breaths, she stopped making noise with her hands.

  If it were in normal times, she would have paid attention to her image with her decent looks, but unfortunately, she was on fire at this moment and didn't care about those trivial things.

  Her hands stopped moving, but the curses in her heart didn't stop, and even the man next to her who reminded her was also scolded harshly in her heart.

  She secretly raised her head and glanced at the other person, finding that he was staring in one direction with a distracted expression.

  Following his line of sight, Wang Juan discovered that he was actually looking at Gu Mian!

  She's indeed a fox spirit!

  Wang Juan was furious. She couldn't even eat dinner and directly pushed the plate aside, going back to her room to rest.

  This reminded Wang Juan of someone, who was none other than Xia Jun, who had been invited to attend the exchange meeting. He arrived earlier than Gu Mian and others, and when Professor Wang and Gu Mian walked into the dining hall, he had already seen them.

  He didn't go forward to greet him, he knew Professor Wang definitely wouldn't want to see him at this moment.

  "What would you become if you were always cultivated by teachers?" Xia Jun looked at Gu Mian, who was chatting with Qin Sheng, and pulled the corner of his mouth, then quietly returned to his room without disturbing anyone.

  What is called a communication meeting, of course, is to take out one's own things for everyone to communicate.

  Professor Wang is going to share with everyone the research topic that helped him land his current job, while Professor He has a similar situation as Professor Wang, and Professor Guan hasn't prepared anything.

  The first day of the communication meeting, Xue Lao's unexpected attendance set off a wave of excitement throughout the venue, and the atmosphere was much more lively than at other times.

  Many people like to have more exchanges with Xue Lao, but unfortunately, there are too many people who want to communicate with Xue Lao, and Xue Lao is only one person. Some people are happy while others are worried, which has become a reflection of everyone's situation.

  Professor Wang's turn on stage was relatively late, and the first day of exchange on stage was just recently evaluated as an outstanding research achievement, and Xia Jun was one of them.

  Xia Jun, as Professor Liu's assistant, was not well-known to most people except those who were familiar with and had dealings with Professor Liu. Recently, he has made an impression on others due to his award-winning thesis.

  Today, Xia Jun has dressed himself up particularly spirited. Today's gathering brings together professional appraisers from various countries, marking his first step into the international appraisal world, and he must grasp it well.

  Every move, every word, even every expression, has been practiced countless times.

  "Hypocrisy!" Professor Wang sat in the audience, looking at Xia Jun on stage, speaking incessantly, and said disdainfully in a low voice.

  Gu Mei sat next to Professor Wang and naturally heard his words, looking at Xia Jun on the stage, her heart was also uncomfortable. A person who stole someone else's research results was using this international stage as a springboard for their own career, such behavior made her feel sorry for Professor Liu.

  When in Taiyuan, Xia Jun was a bit arrogant, but not the kind of person who wouldn't accept education after making mistakes. The saying "people's hearts are separated by a layer of skin" is really true, who would have thought that he would do something like stealing his teacher's research results for personal gain?

  If she hadn't been following Professor Wang, and didn't know about Professor Liu's character, she wouldn't have been able to determine who stole whose research. Unfortunately, Professor Liu was too soft on Xia Jun, and would rather get sick himself than mention the matter at all.

  "If you have any questions, feel free to ask and we can discuss them." Xia Jun said after finishing his explanation of his research paper, addressing the crowd below.

  There were many people under the stage who had been waiting for this moment. As soon as Xia Jun finished speaking, they immediately began to raise their own questions and express their opinions and insights.

  Xia Jun is quite capable and handled the questions from everyone with ease, almost without being stumped, instantly winning over many people's favor.

  "Is there anyone else with an opinion?" Xia Jun looked at the time limit set for himself and saw that he still had a little bit of time left, so he asked.

  He is still quite satisfied with his performance today, and the heart that was hanging in the balance has also been put down by more than half.

  "I have a question, I remember you were Professor Liu's assistant, weren't you?" Just as Xia Jun thought no one would ask any more questions and was about to leave, Professor Wang suddenly spoke up.

  As soon as Gu Meng heard Professor Wang's voice, he knew that Professor Wang's patience had reached its limit and was about to pick a fight.

  "Yes." Xia Jun glanced at Professor Wang, his eyes calm and unruffled.

  "This kind of research paper can't be produced without putting in a lot of effort, I wonder if Professor Liu has provided you with some help in this regard? I vaguely remember him mentioning something to me before, the content is related to your paper, at that time I thought he was doing the research himself, didn't expect it was actually you who did it." Professor Wang looked straight at Xia Jun on the stage, his face had a smile, but his eyes didn't have any hint of a smile.

  Professor Wang's words seemed like ordinary questions, but slightly sensitive people smelled a hint of something wrong, and their eyes quietly moved back and forth between Xia Jun and Professor Wang.

  Those who knew Professor Liu were even more surprised, for who didn't know that Professors Wang and Liu were famous for not seeing eye to eye? Now, Professor Wang's words seemed to be speaking up for Professor Liu.

  Gu Xiang knew that Professor Wang was now completely talking nonsense with his eyes open, and before Professor Liu got sick and hospitalized, he had never sat together with Professor Wang to discuss research in a harmonious atmosphere.

  Professor Wang is saying this now, but he just wants to find trouble with Xia Jun.

  Professor Liu refused to reveal what Xia Jun had done, and Professor Wang also didn't have any evidence of Xia Jun stealing Professor Liu's research results. Taking advantage of the fact that so many people were present, if he didn't severely reprimand Xia Jun, Professor Wang would not be able to swallow his anger.

  "This research is indeed what I am doing, Professor Liu occasionally provides me with some help." Xia Jun said calmly.

  Shameless!

  Professor Wang couldn't help but curse in his heart at Xia Jun's calm demeanor.

  "I thought it was strange, I had always thought this research topic was Professor Liu's, now suddenly knowing that this research topic is yours, I'm a bit surprised." Professor Wang said with a fake smile.
