Chapter 469: 464, the first lady of China, please keep a low profile (19) Once More

"Do you know about the research institute that Shen City applied for internationally?" Seeing the clueless expression on Ye’s mother’s face, Jiang Zijin pretty much got his answer.

While the Ye Family and Ye Junwan’s in-laws were in grave danger, Shen City was steadily developing.

They not only independently developed the supercomputer but also broke the camera technology introduced by the West.

Just yesterday, all the newspapers in Shen City were flooded with reports of this.

That directly dispersed the fear caused by the Tang Family and the Gai Family a while ago.

Even Ye Junwan, who had been restless over the Ye Family’s affairs, felt astonished by the emergence of this laboratory.

She could not believe that this feudal society, which she disdained, seemed to be quietly leading the West in scientific advancement.

As a fashion icon in the Shen City social circle, Ye Junwan naturally paid close attention to such reports, and she admired the members of this international research institute immensely as soon as the news broke.

She had always taken pride in her thoughts as a new-age liberal due to her overseas education.

But faced with the existence of this laboratory, she was profoundly shaken.

But now... what did Jiang Zijin mean by saying that?

He just mentioned Dean Ye...

Could it be?!

Ye Junwan abruptly looked up at Jiang Zijin, and he was smiling faintly back at her, "That’s right, the initiator of this project is none other than your second sister; I thought you all knew."

She stumbled back a step, seeing a hint of irony on Jiang Zijin’s smiling face.

Ye Junwan’s smile was very forced.

Know? How could she possibly know; if she had known earlier, she would never have supported Ye’s father in chasing Ye Shaohua away, falling into such a state!

"What research institute? Is it impressive?" Ye Junwan was aware of the value and status of the research institute, but Ye’s mother did not, she glanced at Jiang Zijin and sighed, "You have no idea, she never attended a Western School when she was young, and when she came back, her father asked her to go to Western School, but she refused..."

"Mother, stop it!" Ye Junwan’s cheeks flushed red, she had never felt so embarrassed before.

Especially with Jiang Zijin looking at her with that semi-smiling gaze, she hurriedly dragged Ye’s mother away, lacking the courage to stay, let alone the bravery to endure Jiang Zijin’s gaze.

She had not expected that Ye Shaohua, who had always been inferior to her in every aspect, had now become the dean of this research institute.

Ye Junwan found it unacceptable. She had studied abroad since she was young, and when she returned a year ago, she caused a sensation in the Shen City circle. But now, due to the Ye Family, she was gradually being forgotten by the circle, while Ye Shaohua had become someone revered by the city’s upper echelons.

The very person she had once advised to believe in science was now at a height she could only look up to.

Before coming here, Ye Junwan still felt that Ye Shaohua was incredibly lucky.

As it turned out, the only frog in the well... was herself!

"Wanwan?" Ye’s mother didn’t understand Ye Junwan’s current behavior and just found it strange.

With mixed emotions, Ye Junwan didn’t reply, but it was Ye Junqing who spoke up with an inscrutable look, "Mother, this laboratory is vital to the nation’s lifeline, with an international application. Ye... our second sister’s status must be no less than that of a commander."

Ye Junqing had seen Ye Shaohua upon her return but never addressed her as second sister.

Now, saying so under these circumstances spoke volumes about the complexity of his emotions.

And Ye’s mother, who had come through the ranks with Ye’s father, even throwing hand grenades during wartime and being more worldly than most women of her era, still couldn’t help but freeze upon hearing Ye Junqing’s words.

"Ye Shaohua?" While transferring Ye Junqing’s files at the Military Administration, Ye’s father saw a file regarding Ye Shaohua.

He did not consider the possibility of it being someone with the same name, as he recognized the rough photo on top.

He instinctively reached for it.

"Old Ye, that file is classified," the person at the Military Administration recognized Ye’s father, having once worked under him, and even though he was no longer in favor, he did not kick him while he was down, warning him seriously, "It requires special clearance or higher."

You can imagine what kind of expression must have been on Ye’s father’s face then.

Classified for special clearance or higher.

Ye’s father had always taken pride in his three children, so naturally, when he took Ye Shaohua back home, he compared her with the others, and the result of that comparison... was that she was inferior in every way.

Since then, he no longer paid attention to this daughter and even cruelly drove her away when trouble arose.

But he had not expected... that she would climb to this position on her own?

In some ways, Ye Junwan was very much like Ye’s father, both being extremely conceited and unwilling to admit their failures.

But at this moment, regret was already taking root in his heart, and his thoughts, of course, were not as simple as those of Ye’s mother.

Even though Ye Shaohua had a connection with Tang Qiyun, Ye’s father knew that her current achievements had nothing to do with the Tang Family and that she got where she was on her own merit.

If Tang Feng had such shrewdness, the Tang Family’s current status would not be what it was.

Tang Feng lacked nothing except cunning.

As for his son, Tang Qihang, he did not lack cunning, but unfortunately, he did not inherit Tang Feng’s decisiveness and foresight.

It was precisely because of this that Ye’s father deeply realized just how formidable this second daughter, who he had never taken seriously, really was.

The Ye Family had completely lost its former glory in the south, Ye Junqing got caught up in the investigations, and never regained his previous position. Out of respect for past relations, Tang Feng allowed Ye’s father to hold a minor position at the Military Administration.

Ultimately, Ye’s father felt quite powerless staying in Shen City and packed up to return to Nanjing.

And the bank relative to Ye Junjin’s in-laws was replaced by the National Bank. Due to earlier issues, their client base was far from what it had been initially and they were in a gradual decline.

As for Ye’s father’s former position, it was now filled by Vice Commander Zhang and others, including members of the Jiang Family and the Xie Family, and of course, new emerging forces.

When Ye Shaohua heard about these things from Jiang Zijin, she did not feel much. She was entirely focused on technology and educational systems. How could she have the time to care about the Ye Family?

Five years later, Shen City had become the most bustling international city. Anyone who had visited Shen City five years ago could hardly believe this was the same place they had seen before.

After being overshadowed by Tang Qiyun, Tang Qihang joined the military, took on many missions, and upon returning, not only found he couldn’t match Tang Qiyun but also could no longer understand Shen City.

Today marked the second day of the new force’s establishment, gathering politicians and military officers, big and small, possessing titles, for the first time all together in Shen City.

Tang Qihang and Ye’s father, who had received a summons from Nanjing to attend the new government officials’ banquet, both clearly saw the third-row name printed on the paper, glaring and awe-inspiring.

Speaker of the Senate—Ye Shaohua.
