Charm point maxed out, inheriting game assets

Upon hearing Chairman Jin’s offhand ”evaluation.”

Jiang Yourong was momentarily stunned, then her cheeks suddenly burned, wishing she could find a hole to hide in.

Never before had she felt such a strong desire to lose weight.

She instinctively sucked in her stomach and discreetly retracted her chin.

Trying to make her chubby figure appear a little less plump.

”Indeed... the school cafeteria is delicious... I... haha...”

She forced a stiff smile, unsure how to respond.

Secretary Jin seemed to see through her embarrassment, simply smiled faintly and turned away, saying, ”Come, sit and chat.”

”Alright...” Jiang Yourong quickly followed.

The two sat opposite each other on the soft sofa.

Then, an assistant quietly walked in.

Placed a steaming teapot and two exquisite teacups, filled them for each and silently bowed out.

The spacious office was left with only the two of them.

Jiang Yourong’s apprehension and nervousness at this moment turned entirely into awkwardness.

Actually, her chubbiness was the kind that’s well-proportioned, her whole body pleasantly plump.

With naturally ample breasts and fair skin, even with slight chubbiness, she was quite beautiful.

She exuded a mature woman’s unique, full-bodied voluptuous beauty.

At the university, she had always been one of the most popular female teachers.

Not only did many young male teachers openly or secretly pursue her, but also quite a few bold male students confessed discreetly after graduation.

She used to think she was naturally blessed with beauty, and took pride in it.

She never really had the heart to diet.

But now, she truly regretted it.

She vowed that from today on, she would completely give up milk tea and desserts!

Secretary Jin elegantly leaned against the sofa back, her flawless slender legs wrapped in black silk slightly crossed.

She looked up at Jiang Yourong, her tone calm yet somewhat nostalgic: ”We... haven’t seen each other for six years, right?”

”Yes.” Jiang Yourong pressed her rosy lips together, ”I formally resigned on July 2, 2017, leaving Smile Investment, when the company was still at the International Trade Center.”

”So it’s already been six and a half years.” Secretary Jin seemed a bit sentimental, ”When you left, I thought you would jump to another enterprise, but you chose academia. Becoming a university associate professor, that’s quite good.”

Jiang Yourong sat upright, flashed an embarrassed smile.

Actually, choosing academia back then was purely because Chairman Jin had exhausted her, she really didn’t want to be a ”beast of burden” anymore.

Also, because in less than a year at Smile Investment, she earned nearly sixty thousand through bonuses and project dividends, which gave her the courage to be willful.

Of course, on the surface, she still respectfully said, ”I’m thankful that Chairman Jin remembers me, the time at Smile Investment has always been the most precious memory of my life. Again, thank you for your trust and reliance, having the chance to participate in Xuanji Light Realm project, it’s my honor, I definitely won’t let you down.”

Secretary Jin just gently said ”Hmm,” then continued, ”Let’s chat, tell me about your experiences these years.”

”Alright.”

Then, Jiang Yourong concisely and objectively narrated her struggles and those small achievements in academics over the years.

In front of this goddess-like former leader, she felt like she was back to being that assistant Jiang just stepping out of campus.

Desperately yearning for her approval once again.

...

After two cups of fragrant tea went down, Jiang Yourong finally relaxed a bit.

Secretary Jin’s gaze fell on her face, lips slightly smiled: ”Although Yan City Normal University has a mediocre platform, I can see your sensitivity to cutting-edge technology has remained intact. This original intention is rare. It seems, the scholarly calm years haven’t dulled your edge.”

Listening to the praise, Jiang Yourong felt both delighted and embarrassed, ”Thank you for your praise, Chairman Jin, I indeed have been focusing on the intersection of AI and cognitive fields, hoping to make some contributions.”

Secretary Jin placed the teacup back on the tray, held herself upright.

Her legs naturally closed, slightly turned sideways, sitting elegantly straight.

”You should have already learned about the Xuanji Light Realm project, right?”

”Yes.” Jiang Yourong immediately responded, her tone tinged with a bit of nervousness, ”It’s led by TY Precision, aimed at creating the next generation human-machine interaction ecosystem. I’ve seen their public materials, very avant-garde and strategically significant. Many in the domestic high-tech field are focusing on it.”

”Then... do you want to be deeply involved in it?”

Jiang Yourong was stunned, then suddenly surged with passion, ”Of course!”

Secretary Jin’s lips subtly moved, almost smiling.

She lowered her head, pulled open the drawer beneath the desk, taking out a document and placing it in front of Jiang Yourong.

”Take a look at this.”

Jiang Yourong quickly took it with both hands, flipped the first page with curiosity.

The next moment, her heart raced, her fingertips began to tremble slightly.

It was a ”Deep Collaboration Intent Agreement” jointly drafted by TY Precision and Smile Holding.

The agreement clearly proposed a five-year deep joint development with Yan City Normal University’s Computer Academy, led by Professor Jiang Yourong’s team, on the core subject of ”Human-Machine Interaction and Cognitive Science.”
