Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie-Chapter 1045: The Hongmen Banquet!

Ji Weitian sat at the representative seat of Qin Technology Group, and her late arrival attracted considerable media attention.

Many cameras instantly focused on her face, attempting to delve into what had happened during her absence.

Ji Weitian strictly controlled her expression, calmly gazing at the podium ahead. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

The latter half of the conference was where the focus of this exchange lay.

All important corporate representatives were scheduled for the latter part.

The current speaker was a representative from a large electronics technology company in T City, focusing on service robots.

Unlike Qin Technology Group, which specialized in artificial intelligence, they focused on hardware, prioritizing the production and optimization of robots.

As Ji Weitian listened to her peers’ speeches, she was simultaneously distracted, recalling what Guo Yan had just said.

The corner of her eye glimpsed the cameras covering the entire venue, and she couldn’t help but squint slightly.

Guo Yan’s words finally made her understand why such a simple conference would draw so much media attention.

She originally thought it was because of the anniversary conference of the Computer Science Association.

Now it seemed that the media’s target wasn’t the conference from the start.

She couldn’t discern how many of these people were arranged by Liu Zhenzhen, and how many were by Re Group or Qiu Sen.

The only certainty she had was that if she made a mistake today at the conference, the media present wouldn’t spare her!

This was far from a mere conference; it was evidently a trap!

Qin Nanyu had truly assigned her a good task.

With cameras ahead of her, Ji Weitian could only reach into her bag, blindly send a message to Qin Nanyu, informing him of what she’d heard from Guo Yan, then quietly await his response.

A minute.

Five minutes.

Half an hour passed...

The speakers on stage had changed twice, yet Ji Weitian’s phone hadn’t shown any sign of activity.

"Next, let’s welcome Mr. Qiu Sen, the project lead from Re Group, to the stage,"

The host’s crisp voice snapped Ji Weitian back to reality, and she turned to look beside her.

Qiu Sen had been staring at Ji Weitian for quite some time. Finally capturing Ji Weitian’s gaze on him, he instantly curled into a smug smile.

"Miss Ji, as your senior, I’ll go ahead first. I’m looking forward to your performance shortly."

"..."

The reporters in the venue didn’t miss capturing his words to Ji Weitian as Qiu Sen rose.

Had there been no prior confrontation, perhaps everyone might have taken his words as expectations for a junior.

But now, anyone could discern that Qiu Sen was deliberately setting her up for failure.

Since Re Group’s speaking order was before Qin Technology Group, the higher he praised Ji Weitian now, the greater the pressure she’d face speaking after him.

Without comparison, there’s no harm.

Ji Weitian, though representing Qin Technology Group and having appeared at press conferences before, hardly anyone in this venue believed she could surpass Qiu Sen.

Ji Weitian paid no mind to others’ gazes, merely watching Qiu Sen calmly.

Just when she thought Qiu Sen was about to take the stage, he suddenly approached her.

Leaning in, he whispered in her ear, "Do you think just because no one knows about your new experimental breakthrough, you’ll win for sure?"

"..."

Ji Weitian’s brow twitched, and a sudden foreboding surged within her heart.
