The Scientific and Technological Academic Exchange Conference, jointly hosted by the Baumond Association for

Science and Technology and other organizations, had officially begun two days ago.

This month-long conference would include nearly 200 individual sessions, drawing participation from many

academicians and experts in the scientific and industrial communities. YodaVision was among the invited

companies.

That afternoon happened to be the main session in the field of Advanced Materials, a topic both Celeste and

Matthias were particularly interested in.

After returning from the hospital, Celeste went to the conference venue with Matthias and several YodaVision

technical staff members.

Matthias was attending as YodaVision’s representative and had a reserved seat near the front.

Celeste, along with the company’s staff, followed the event organizer's arrangement and sat near the back. They

arrived early. Not long after they took their seats, Celeste spotted Trevor, Wynn, and Miles entering. They saw

her too. Neither Wynn nor Miles looked surprised to see her-though their reactions differed.

Miles assumed she was just there to join the crowd.

Wynn, however, didn’t care. After a quick glance, she looked away.

Trevor also looked at Celeste briefly, then sat in the front row.

Matthias, upon seeing Trevor, curled his lips and acted like he hadn't noticed him.

Trevor, being rather forward, greeted him with a smile. “Mr. Yoder.”

He pressed his lips into a thin line, silently questioning his life choices.

Had he not made himself clear enough? They weren't close, and there was no need to greet each other in the

future. Why was it so hard for speople to take a hint?

About ten minutes later, the conference officially began.

An academician from the Academy of Engineering took the stage and began elaborating on the field of Advanced

Materials, discussing theories while engaging with the audience.

Zachary held a unique status in this field.

Celeste and Matthias had encountered and studied countless types of Advanced Materials.

Many of the materials mentioned by the academician were ones they could immediately identify just by name,

already familiar with their properties, raw materials, and manufacturing conditions.

They had a broad knowledge base and a deeper understanding of advanced technologies than most. Still, the

world was vast, and they couldn't know everything.

Gathering diverse insights helped spark new ideas-so they listened attentively.

Wynn was also listening closely. With the rapid advancement of technology, the field of Advanced Materials had

becincredibly vast.

Many of the terms and materials being discussed were things she had never even heard of, let alone had

experienced with.

As she listened to the back-and-forth between the speaker and audience, she realized just how much she still

didn’t know. She noted down key points she needed and planned to study them in detail later.

Trevor sat quietly, seemingly deep in thought, but he, too, appeared to be paying attention.

When the academician from the Academy of Engineering, Morgan Hale, finished speaking, many of the science

and tech professionals eagerly stepped forward to ask him questions.

Morgan responded to each one with patience.

Matthias left his seat and cover to Celeste to exchange ideas.

There were over 200 people in the hall. Swho didn’t know Celeste or Matthias overheard their discussion

and were surprised, gathering around to listen.

Before long, a small crowd had formed around them.

Someone recognized Matthias and said, “That's Matthias Yoder-Zachary Newman's student. No wonder he

knows so much!”

More and more people cover to ask questions.

Since this was an academic exchange, as long as the questions didn’t involve confidential material, Matthias was

generous in answering them.

But the crowd kept growing, and he couldn't get to everyone-so he turned to the others waiting and said, ”

Celeste has a broad knowledge base too. You can ask her your questions.”

And so, a number of people turned to Celeste with their inquiries.

Within just ten or 20 minutes, the crowd around them grew even larger.

Trevor, who knew Morgan personally, brought Wynn over to say hello.

Wynn took the opportunity to ask Morgan a few questions.

Listening to her, Morgan smiled and said to Trevor, “Ms. Locket is so young and already has such a wide breadth

of knowledge. Quite impressive. You've got a good eye, Trevor.”

“You might not know this,” said Lucien Zandrell, who had cover as well, “but Wynn is a PhD graduate from a

top-ranked university. It’s only natural that she’s this impressive.”

Wynn had already attended several sessions over the past two days. She stood out on her own, and yesterday

morning, Bryson had also been present-he admired her and introduced her to several influential people. Lucien

was one of them.

After speaking, Lucien looked at Wynn and Trevor with a smile. So Wynn, you're Mr. Fleming's girlfriend? We

talked so much yesterday, but you didn’t mention that. So modest at such a young age-that’s rare.”

Wynn smiled. “You flatter me.”

Their group had attracted a small crowd as well, and they engaged in a lively discussion for stime.

Just then, someone nearby exclaimed, “Matthias really lives up to being Mr. Newman's student-he knows so

much! Ask him anything and he can answer!”

Right? And not just Matthias-even the beautiful Ms. Rodriguez standing next to him is amazing. | was standing

there listening, and honestly, it felt like | was hearing a foreign language.”

At that, Wynn's expression tightened slightly.

Morgan, hearing the comments, seemed intrigued. He was of course, already aware of who Matthias was. After

hearing that, he turned to Trevor and Lucien. “I'm going to take a look over there.”

Lucien also showed interest. Wynn paused for a second-then decided she wanted to go too.

She turned to Trevor. “Shall we go see?”

Trevor smiled. “Sure.”

Miles wasn’t interested in any of it-but followed them anyway.
