There were quite a few people gathered around Celeste and Matthias.

When Morgan and Lucien approached, speople in the crowd were about to greet them, but Morgan smiled

and gestured for them to stay quiet.

Then he and the others stood at the edge of the group, quietly listening to Matthias and Celeste answer

questions.

Many attendees at the conference were graduates of prestigious universities. There was no shortage of capable,

knowledgeable people.

Celeste and Matthias not only responded to others’ questions but also occasionally encountered a few individuals

who could carry on more in-depth discussions with them.

Those with a similarly broad knowledge base were deeply engaged in the back-and-forth. Those who lacked the

technical background-especially when it cto materials and manufacturing-felt like they were listening to a

foreign language.

Lucien and Morgan clearly fell into the first group.

Wynn could mostly keep up, too.

In truth, after just a short exchange earlier, Celeste and Matthias had already sensed the gap between them and

most of the crowd. So when they answered questions, they had unconsciously simplified their explanations.

Lucien and Morgan listened with great interest.

Just as they planned to keep listening, someone up front recognized them and exclaimed, “Ah-it's Academician

Morgan Hale and Professor Lucien Zandrell!”

Celeste and Matthias paused and followed the direction of everyone’s gaze. Sure enough, they saw Morgan,

Lucien -and Trevor, Wynn, and Miles.

Celeste and Matthias instinctively ignored Trevor and Wynn.

Now that Morgan had arrived, Matthias had no choice but to stop and, along with Celeste, walk over to greet

them. “Mr. Hale, Professor Zandrell.”

Morgan smiled and clapped his hands. “As expected of Mr. Newman's student-very impressive.”

Matthias smiled, but before he could say anything, Morgan added, “Your talent doesn’t surprise me. What

surprisesmore is that the young woman beside you is just as capable.”

He laughed. “Aren’t you going to introduce us?”

Matthias paused and said, “Celeste Rodriguez, a member of our technical team at YodaVision.”

“Oh, a technician at YodaVision,” Morgan replied. “So, your company doesn’t just have you-it has another young

talent just as impressive. No wonder YodaVision is doing so well.”

Matthias said, “You flatter us.”

Lucien also cforward to greet them.

Hearing how fluently Celeste conversed with others, Wynn was indeed surprised.

So, Celeste wasn't as clueless as she had assumed.

Matthias was Zachary’s student and was exceptionally skilled. If Celeste had been following him closely, she

might have truly been learning something.

But materials were only one field.

If Celeste had graduated from college at 18 just like her, then her learning ability was definitely there. As long as

she had the right mindset, it was completely reasonable for someone like her to pick things up under Matthias

guidance.

Wynn recalled hearing years ago that Celeste had skipped three grades in high school and been admitted to one

of the top universities in the country-Aurelia University. She had assumed Celeste must be quite impressive.

But in the two or three years that followed, she learned that Celeste’s performance in college was far less

remarkable compared to her entrance exam results. Celeste had never participated in any major international

competitions.

Wynn, on the other hand, hadn't scored as highly on her entrance exam, but during university, she had won

numerous awards-enough to get her a place in a top-tier graduate program, which she had completed all the

way through her PhD without any setbacks.

Thinking of all this, Wynn looked at Celeste, listening to Morgan praise her. She smiled, but said nothing.

She turned her head and glanced at Trevor.

Trevor's expression was calm. He looked away, as if completely indifferent to the compliments Morgan and the

others were giving Celeste. Like her, he didn’t seem to think Celeste was particularly impressive.

That thought made Wynn smile a little.

As for things like Advanced Materials or Al-Miles had absolutely no clue what any of it meant.

Listening to Celeste converse so smoothly, and with Morgan singing her praises nonstop, Miles felt a little dazed.

He looked over at Trevor and Wynn. “Is she actually this capable?”

Before Trevor could respond, Wynn smiled and looked at him. “What do you think?”

He stared blankly for a second, utterly speechless.

How was he supposed to know?

If he had the answers, he wouldn't be standing here wasting tasking them.

But judging by Trevor and Wynn's reactions, it seemed like maybe Celeste wasn’t quite as impressive as she

seemed.

Seeing that Morgan probably wouldn't be done chatting with Celeste and Matthias anytsoon, Wynn said,

Trevor, don’t you still have things to take care of? Why don’t we go first?”

ay

Trevor replied, “Alright.”

With that, he took a few steps forward and said to Morgan, “Mr. Hale, we've got something to attend to, so we'll

be heading out first.”

Morgan nodded. “Alright.”

He smiled and gave Wynn a polite nod.

Trevor glanced at Celeste once more, then turned and left with Wynn and Miles.
