Chapter 18: Young Lady of a Prestigious Family (17)
Ye Shaohua hadn’t been at University Beijing for very long, mostly collaborating with the students of an academician, so other Computer Science mentors and students were not familiar with her.
Now, they looked at her cold and imposing face, confident and assertive in any situation, wondering how such a person could ever be associated with the accusation of stealing designs?
Especially since Ye Shaohua’s software was still on the computer, and the Stanford Principal was, in a state of urgency, inquiring about Ye Shaohua’s whereabouts. It was like a slap in the face for the University Beijing principal and his people.
Having developed this advanced AI software on her own was something not even genius could describe, no wonder Stanford was willing to send a private jet to pick her up.
The academician had finally managed to bring Ye Shaohua over, but now, because of this incident, the opportunity was ruined. Had this not happened, the University Beijing principal would have never allowed such a talent to leave. Yet, now, he merely bowed his head in shame and embarrassment.
Not to mention him, other teachers also stood aside, their lips muttering, none able to speak a word.
Gu Jingyun stood on the other side, leisurely and elegant, not surprised in the least by Ye Shaohua’s performance.
Only the academician snorted coldly at the principal and others, then picked up the phone to negotiate a few words with the people on Stanford’s end.
Upon learning that University Beijing did not intend for Ye Shaohua to return, the Stanford Principal was very dissatisfied, eventually adding with reluctance, “Then you must send Student Ye back early! I have only given her a month; she is the head of our laboratory, and without her, many of our research projects can’t proceed.”
The Stanford Principal’s words left all the present students shocked, as Ye Shaohua had kept such a low profile that everyone thought she was just a Stanford student. Now, according to the Stanford Principal, she was actually the head of their school laboratory?!
For a person from Hua Country to join an M Country laboratory was one thing, but for her to be the head of the laboratory was something unprecedented in history.
University Beijing’s principal and teachers were shocked, remorseful, and deeply ashamed. They had maligned such a person, and how had they the gall to accuse her?
Thinking thus, everyone involuntarily looked at Ye Ke, the prime culprit. Since the software was indeed an original creation of Ye Shaohua, the one who truly lacked integrity was the thief crying thief, Ye Ke!
Whether before her rebirth or after, Ye Ke had never suffered such humiliation, never been seen with such eyes, and she knew that after today, her reputation was thoroughly ruined. This was more disgusting than stealing a design, and she ran out of the laboratory in a state of utter collapse.
But the matter did not end so easily. The fallout wasn’t limited to the Gu Family’s stocks plummeting; Fu Jiachen’s recently relocated family’s stocks also hit rock bottom, teetering on suspension.
The Fu Family had previously thought themselves wise for not agreeing to Ye’s father’s suggestion to fulfil the marriage agreement with Ye Shaohua. However, now they realized just how foolish they had been.
Who knew the Ye Shaohua they disdained possessed such incredible talent, while they also blamed her internally for not revealing it earlier.
Unlike them, Ye Han continued to eat, drink, and even had the time to go racing. Someone had seen his new race car, the latest limited edition with only three in the entire world.
Those in the Imperial City circles were aware that he had been driven out by Ye Ke, and with Ye’s father still in the hospital, one would think he would save his remaining money for his father’s medical expenses instead of buying a limited-edition race car.
Indeed, this generation of the Ye Family had not a single successful member.
In this regard, Ye Han, sitting on the hood of his race car, said to his frivolous friends, “I’m very wealthy now; do you know my sister? Even the FBI is afraid of her.”
His simple-minded friends also knew of the FBI. Hearing such a claim, they looked at each other in confusion. Had Ye Han gone mad from the shock?
Did he even understand what he was blathering about concerning the FBI?
Recently, the Ye Family had become notorious in financial circles: Ye Ke had ruined herself by stealing designs, and Ye Han had lost his mind.
Ye Ke had no time to deal with Ye Han’s matters as she was overwhelmed with the company’s issues, facing insufficient funds and forced withdrawals from many projects.
In such a crisis, Ye Ke had to sell stocks at low prices, and at that moment, she received a call from Fu Jiachen, “Xinghe? Are you sure they are looking for partners? There’s a press conference this afternoon?”
Not knowing what was said on the other end, Ye Ke’s eyes brightened, “Get ready; we’re going right now. This is our chance. Ye Family is in grave danger, and everyone worldwide wants to partner with Xinghe. As long as we secure a deal with Xinghe, we won’t have to worry about anything else.”
There were many who thought the same, and upon Ye Ke and Fu Jiachen’s arrival at the press conference, they found it crowded, with nearly all globally renowned enterprises having traveled long distances after hearing that the founder of Xinghe would make an appearance.
Ye Ke and Fu Jiachen arrived early, mingling with a business owner nearby, but unfortunately saw Ye Shaohua walking with Gu Jingyun toward them.

Gu Jingyun looked down tenderly at Ye Shaohua. Ye Ke had previously wondered why, after her rebirth, she was even more unlucky than before – because of Gu Jingyun, whom she’d completely forgotten. Could Gu Jingyun really not help Ye Shaohua when he claimed he wouldn’t?
With the Ye Family in such a state of decline, Ye Ke believed, 80% of it was Gu Jingyun’s doing, otherwise how could Ye Shaohua have anything to control the Ye Family’s shares?!
“Ye Shaohua,” Ye Ke looked at Ye Shaohua and sneered, “weren’t you the one who disdained money? Didn’t you reject the marriage with the Fu Family? It turns out, the Fu Family wasn’t good enough for you, but you only had eyes for a prestigious family like the Gu Family, huh!”
“Ye Ke, you’re truly naive,” Ye Shaohua said, not angered but smiled.
Gu Jingyun frowned slightly and was about to have a security guard throw out Ye Ke, but Ye Shaohua interrupted him.
Fu Jiachen watched Ye Shaohua’s departing figure and pursed his lips. As she passed by him, he whispered, “So that man is Gu Jingyun; no wonder you refused me. But think carefully, a family like the Gu Family would never accept an ordinary person with no background. If Gu Jingyun truly cared about you, he wouldn’t have kept it a secret from everyone. How much could he give you? Could he give more than I could?”
Ye Shaohua stopped Gu Jingyun from getting angry and chuckled lightly, “Youth.”
While the tone was not particularly comfortable to hear, Ye Ke and Fu Jiachen did not bother with her response, as the founder of Xinghe had arrived, and they were both riveted on the stage.
It was three o’clock, and nearly everyone silenced their conversations, staring intently at the podium.
The founder of Xinghe was so powerful that even Ye Ke, after her rebirth, had to admit that she couldn’t match this person, nor could the technology of the next ten years.
In just two years, he made his software popular worldwide, something no one in the world could achieve.
Even with all her pride, Ye Ke couldn’t claim to be better than Xinghe.
She was holding her breath, but then she saw Ye Shaohua walking past everyone towards the podium, where Xinghe’s person in charge pulled out a chair for her.
Ye Ke and Fu Jiachen found this entire scene absurd, yet it was happening right before their eyes.
Under their incredulous gazes, Ye Shaohua took her seat and said, “I am Ye Shaohua. Though it may be hard to believe, Xinghe is mine.”
