Chapter 252 The Great Emperor Ruyan Makes His Debut!

Just as Jiang Jing's name resounded throughout the country, accompanied by praise and admiration, becoming an idol for the entire population, it naturally caught the eyes of certain people who had been watching the current situation and looking for opportunities.

In the Imperial Capital, inside a Courtyard House with a deep heritage.

Elder Liu, Liu Cang, a cadre who had retired but still wielded influence, was wearing reading glasses and leisurely scrolling through his phone.

As people age, they sometimes keep up with trends even more, enjoying getting the latest information from the internet.

Suddenly, a news notification about Jiang Jing caught his attention.

He tapped on the video, watching the special report on cctv news, observing the shocking technological display at the press conference, and listening to the host highly praise Jiang Jing's talent and magnanimity...

Elder Liu's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and his breathing unconsciously became slightly rapid.

"Extraordinary... truly extraordinary!" He muttered to himself, his fingers sliding across the screen as he browsed through many more background introductions and clips from the press conference about Jiang Jing.

Including his sharp retorts and "showing off" remarks. The deeper he delved, the brighter the light in Elder Liu's eyes became, and the look of satisfaction on his face was almost overflowing.

Young—only in his twenties!

Talented—the things he created were more terrifying than the last!

Wealthy—that goes without saying, everyone basically knows it!

Famous—the entire nation is watching, and the country is fully supporting him!

Most importantly, he seems to have a lot of character, not the timid, submissive type.

This is simply the most perfect son-in-law imaginable!

Elder Liu could no longer sit still. He put down his phone, took a deep breath, and shouted toward the inner room: "Ruyan! Ruyan! Come out quickly, come here to Grandpa!"

A moment later, light footsteps could be heard.

A woman walked out gracefully, as if stepping out of a painting, or like a heroine from a novel.

She was wearing a well-tailored Chanel suit that outlined her graceful figure perfectly.

Her face was stunningly beautiful, with skin like congealed fat, but there was a hint of unapproachable coldness in her beautiful eyes, and she radiated an innate sense of nobility and aloofness.

This person was none other than Elder Liu's precious granddaughter, the apple of the Liu family's eye—Liu Ruyan.

"Grandpa, why are you calling me? I was just on a video call with my best friend, discussing our vacation for next week."

Liu Ruyan parted her red lips slightly, her tone carrying a hint of coquettish annoyance at being disturbed.

Elder Liu looked at his precious granddaughter and sighed helplessly: "Still thinking about going out to play?"

"Ruyan, you aren't young anymore. How many young talents have Grandpa and your father introduced to you over the years?"

"If it's not a scion of a wealthy family, it's a rising star in politics. And you? You either complain they aren't handsome enough, or they aren't rich enough, or you say they lack depth or are too vulgar..."

"Good grief, does that mean out of hundreds of millions of men in the country, not one can catch your eye, Miss Liu?"

Liu Ruyan walked up to her grandfather, took his arm, and shook it gently, acting spoiled: "Grandpa~ you're talking about this again!"

"Those people really aren't good enough~ they either have the air of a nouveau riche or are incredibly pedantic. They aren't interesting at all. And I'm not as exaggerated as you say~"

"Not exaggerated?" Elder Liu glared at her, then shifted his tone, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.

"However... it's fine if you didn't like those people before, but this time, Grandpa has truly found someone suitable for you!"

He picked up his phone and opened Jiang Jing's photo and video: "Look, it's this kid, Jiang Jing!"

"The term 'young and promising' was practically invented for him. More importantly, he didn't rely on his family; he relied on himself!"

Elder Liu said with admiration: "He is a monstrously talented scientist. That beauty serum you girls love so much? He's the one who created it."

"And that Prosthetic limb in the news that can let disabled people walk again, the brain-controlled robots, and so on. He is now the country's treasure, the apple of everyone's eye!"

Elder Liu became more and more excited as he spoke: "If you could really be with him, not only would you be satisfied, but our Liu family would also benefit greatly."

"Your father has been in that position of department head for quite a few years now... perhaps there's a chance he could go even further!"

Liu Ruyan had initially been listening half-heartedly, thinking her grandfather was just going to introduce another nouveau riche type.

But when she saw Jiang Jing's handsome face, and the famous scene on the press conference stage where he scolded the foreigners, causing the entire internet to go wild, her beautiful eyes instantly lit up.

She was very taken with Jiang Jing's looks, and even more taken with his legendary fame!

Imagine, if she could become the girlfriend or even the wife of such a man, how many gazes of envy and jealousy would she receive?

How much would that satisfy her vanity?

Just thinking about it made her heart race and her cheeks feel slightly hot.

She suppressed the palpitation in her heart, deliberately putting on an aloof and spoiled appearance, slightly lifting her snow-white chin, her tone sounding reluctant: "Hmph, it's passable, I guess. He's just okay."

"The key is, Grandpa, you're talking it up so much here, but can you even contact him? Don't let this be just wishful thinking on our part, where we can't even see him."

"Uh..." The smile on Elder Liu's face froze, and he suddenly felt a bit awkward.

He had been so focused on his excitement that he only now realized the most critical problem—it seemed... he really didn't have any direct channel to contact the other party.

Seeing her grandfather's expression, Liu Ruyan was stunned, then found herself laughing and crying at the same time: "Grandpa! So you don't have a way to contact him, and you just ran over to ramble all this to me? Isn't this just an empty promise!"

Elder Liu's old face flushed red. Feeling that he had lost face in front of his granddaughter, he quickly stiffened his neck and said: "Who said I have no way! Your grandfather had a few old comrades-in-arms in the army with whom I shared life-and-death bonds!"

"Although some have retired and some have passed on, there are still a few I can talk to!"

The more he spoke, the more feasible he felt it was, and he regained his confidence: "Leave it to Grandpa. You go back to your room and wait for news. I'm going to make some calls right now!"

Don't look at the fact that Elder Liu has retired; getting Jiang Jing's contact information is still quite simple. However, what he is thinking is definitely not just getting a phone number and calling it a day, but rather he has other intentions.

As he spoke, Elder Liu picked up his senior phone and began flipping through his contacts, looking like he was ready to fight for his granddaughter's lifelong happiness.

Looking at her grandfather's serious appearance, Liu Ruyan felt both amused and a faint sense of anticipation deep down.

She hummed softly, turned around, and walked toward her room, but in her heart, she began to calculate: If there really is a chance to meet, which dress should I wear?
