386: Chapter 386 Unsung Heroes

Wu Ya blinked, thinking she had misheard.

"What do you mean, latching onto someone high up?"

The woman burst out laughing.

"Stop pretending with us. All the women who come here are the same. None of us is better than the others; it's just that the powerful figures we're clinging to are much bigger than the one you're clinging to."

Hearing this, Wu Ya's face instantly turned cold.

She finally understood why the words of these two women sounded so awkward.

It was because these two women clearly mistook her for Shen Yan's kept woman.

"What do you want? That's your business, but I advise you not to always assume others are the same kind of people as you."

As her voice fell,

The complexions of the two women also turned cold.

"Give it up. Why are you putting on an act in front of us?"

"Aren't we all the same kind of people? No one is superior to anyone else!"

Wu Ya smiled.

"Didn't you just say it? No one is superior to anyone else."

"Since that's the case, why are you shouting at me? Isn't it true that the bird that sticks its head out gets shot? Don't you really think you're some great catch, do you?"

The two women hadn't expected that Wu Ya, who looked so meek and gentle, would actually have such a sharp tongue.

They glared, just about to start cursing, when they heard several claps coming from nearby.

"Clap, clap, clap!"

"Well said!"

Wu Ya hadn't expected there was someone eavesdropping nearby.

She turned her head and saw that the person applauding was a woman about half a head taller than her.

Because she hadn't been to this exhibition before, nor did she know the big shots of the companies involved in the artificial intelligence project in this city, she remained still and didn't react to the other person's words.

"CEO... CEO An."

The moment the two women saw the tall woman, their arrogant demeanor instantly vanished.

Seeing them both turn into quails, Wu Ya felt satisfied.

"So, you two are just bullies who pick on the weak and fear the strong. Seeing that I was unfamiliar, you thought I'd be easy to bully, so you wanted to show off in front of me."

The two women wanted to curse, but they were restrained by the presence of the tall woman nearby.

"I... we didn't mean it like that! You were the one who looked down on us first!"

Hearing this, Wu Ya rolled her eyes.

She didn't know anyone here; who would she look down on?

"It's obvious that CEO An heard everything we just discussed. It's useless for you to try and spin the story now."

As her voice fell,

The complexions of the two women turned even paler.

The person they called CEO An curled her lips and extended her hand to Wu Ya: "Nice to meet you. I'm An Ran."

Wu Ya dazedly raised her hand and shook the other person's.

"I'm Wu Ya."

Seeing the two of them start shaking hands,

The two women didn't seek trouble for themselves and scurried away with their tails tucked between their legs.

As soon as they left, Wu Ya eagerly asked An Ran, "Do you know those two?"

Hearing Wu Ya's question, An Ran shook her head and replied, "Actually, I don't."

Wu Ya's eyes widened; she didn't quite believe what An Ran said.

"How is that possible?!"

"They were clearly so afraid of you."

An Ran thought for a moment before replying, "Perhaps it's because they know who I am."

Wu Ya asked with some interest, "Then who are you? Are you also a company owner involved in an artificial intelligence project?"

An Ran nodded.

"You could say that."

Wu Ya took out a business card from her handbag and handed it to An Ran.

"What a coincidence, I'm also involved in an artificial intelligence project."

An Ran took the business card from Wu Ya's hand.

"You're the vice president of Fuchen Enterprise?"

Wu Ya nodded.

"Yes. Please don't believe the nonsense those two were spouting. I am definitely not my boss's kept woman; my boss has a girlfriend."

"If this got out, my boss would scold me."

Hearing this, An Ran chuckled.

"You are quite an interesting person. I originally thought you would be bullied by those two, but I didn't expect you to be quite..."

An Ran didn't finish her sentence.

But without her saying it, Wu Ya could guess what she was going to say.

"You mean, you didn't expect that even though I look so well-behaved, my mouth is anything but forgiving?"

An Ran smiled and replied, "Since you've already seen through what I was going to say, I have nothing more to say."

Wu Ya shook her head.

"That's just how I am; if I have the upper hand, I won't let up."

An Ran didn't think there was anything wrong with that.

"You did the right thing. You should have scolded them back fiercely."

"Some people are just like that; whatever they are, they always assume others are the same as them."

"If you aren't like them, they will regard you as an outsider and try desperately to bully and exclude you."

When Wu Ya heard this, she immediately sensed that An Ran had a story.

"What happened? Were you bullied by them too?"

An Ran neither nodded nor shook her head.

"There was a similar misunderstanding before, but I used my own way to let them know that not everyone can be trampled on for fun."

As her voice fell,

Wu Ya was just about to say something when she saw Shen Yan walking towards her direction.

"Bored?"

Hearing Shen Yan's question, Wu Ya shook her head and replied, "No, I saw you talking with them, so I came over myself to look at the products at the exhibition for a bit."

"Oh, right, this is CEO An, whom I just met."

Shen Yan looked in An Ran's direction and nodded at her, saying, "Hello, I am Shen Yan."

An Ran curled her lips, extended her hand to Shen Yan, and said, "I've long admired your reputation, CEO Shen of Fuchen."

Shen Yan truly hadn't expected that everyone here knew who he was.

He had thought he was one of the relatively unknown figures at this exhibition.

Thinking that, he shook the other person's hand and asked, "Are you also an entrepreneur involved in the artificial intelligence project?"

An Ran nodded and replied, "I suppose so. I'm quite interested in the field of Artificial Intelligence."

As her voice fell, several other people walked towards them to strike up a conversation.

The duration of the exhibition wasn't long, nor was it short.

Shen Yan had thought he might gain something from it, but after chatting for a long time, everyone who approached him was an entrepreneur in the Artificial Intelligence field, not the investors he was looking for.

If he had gained anything from this exhibition, it would be meeting the leader who organized it—the president of Shang Corporation.

Shang Corporation was different from Story Enterprise.

Gu Corporation was a major company that had dominated the Artificial Intelligence field for many years.

Shang Corporation, however, was a well-known major company in the investment sector.

Although Shen Yan had made the acquaintance of the president of Shang Corporation, the other party clearly wasn't very interested in his project.

Shen Yan wasn't the type of person who liked to force his presence where he wasn't wanted.

After a brief exchange, finding that the other party had little interest in his company's project, he didn't continue the conversation.
