Chapter 231: 0231 Friends alike_1

Who is she calling out to?

The female director was also confused and followed her gaze to look over.

Cecil Jack stepped out of the car, with several low-profile people following him. They seemed to carry an air similar to Damien Frost’s entourage.

The first thing that caught the eye was the verdant expanse of farmland, which seemed to please Cecil Jack as he nodded in satisfaction. Then, seeing the person who walked out from behind the fence, a smile appeared on his stern face: "Ellen, ah."

Ellen also smiled slightly but with a hint of surprise: "Professor Jack, what brings you here?"

Cecil Jack kept a straight face: "I’ve been back for so long and you didn’t come to visit me, so shouldn’t I be allowed to come see you?"

"That’s not it." Ellen stepped forward: "I’ve heard from them that you’ve been busy with your experiments, so naturally I didn’t want to disturb you."

"Now that we have some initial results. It’s not urgent."

In front of others, Cecil Jack was always serious but he was less formal in front of Ellen. Looking around with a smiling face, he seemed somewhat moved: "The environment here is quite nice. No wonder you like living here."

But then, after a quick scan of the surroundings, he caught sight of the luxurious and stark villa rising from the base of the hill belonging to Ruffy Smith.

Cecil Jack: ?

This decadent style was completely out of place in the countryside.

Seeing his gaze, Ellen explained with a laugh: "That’s Ruffy Smith’s house. Please come inside; it’s not appropriate to talk out here."

Cecil Jack was her friend. The difference in age wasn’t an issue—the ages of many of her friends were one cycle greater than hers.

At her status, finding friends of a similar age was actually unlikely.

Cecil Jack nodded and, amid the surprised looks of onlookers. he entered the courtyard with Ellen.

As the fence gate closed behind them, the female director naturally could not enter.

She frowned slightly.

Cecil Jack was not the kind of boss who enjoyed public exposure, but he had appeared on the national news.

She felt a vague sense of recognition but couldn’t quite place him.

However, seeing the scholarly aura around him and the staff that stood by his side...

The female director felt something was off.

At that moment, a staff member looked at Cecil Jack with shocked eyes, trembling, "Mr. Jack..."

Someone was even waving their hands at the female director, gesturing for her to come over quickly.

She walked over and the staff member immediately exclaimed to her in shock, "Do you realize who that was, director?"

The female director said, "He seemed familiar. I can’t quite remember who he is."

People in the entertainment industry usually don’t pay much attention to other fields. Even ordinary people don’t often keep track of scientists and might only recognize the most famous ones by name and not by face.

"That was Cecil Jack!! An academician of the Engineering Academy, a leading figure in genetic research in agriculture, winner of countless international awards, a national treasure of our country..."

No need for all that flamboyant detail. The mere title of academician of the Engineering Academy was enough to make the female director’s pupils dilate!

The title of an academician of the Engineering Academy is one of the highest honors for scientists, with a corresponding title in the Academy of Sciences.

Other achievements are only discussed against the backdrop of this honor. But reaching this level definitively defines one as a leading figure!

Such a person, wherever he goes, would be surrounded by people. Yet here he was inconspicuously visiting Haran Village. without causing any stir. and seemed like a long-lost elder in the presence of Ellen...

No, in front of Ellen, he didn’t seem like an elder but more like a friend!
