Hidden identities of the AI Heiress-Chapter 1004: Turns Out You’re Just a Working Stiff!
The online discussions about Qiao Yun continued to escalate.
Any information related to Professor Qiao on social media quickly turned into trending topics.
Even Lu Zhanxing’s personal account was swarmed with nosy netizens.
Normally, it’s unlikely for a scientist to cause such a stir—unless that scientist is incredibly young, barely of college age.
Among them, a popular educational post titled [A Rundown of Professor Qiao’s Achievements Over the Years] amassed over a million shares.
Those unfamiliar with Qiao Yun were shocked to learn that, besides receiving the prestigious Nobel Prize, Qiao Yun also won countless global awards.
However, she kept a low profile and didn’t engage in self-promotion, so even when the news had reported on her, it didn’t generate much buzz.
In the scientific community, Professor Qiao’s status was likened to a national treasure.
Netizens were dumbfounded by all the information laid out in the post and finally realized how unforgivable it was to have blindly criticized her.
But human nature rarely leans toward introspection. Upon realizing their mistake, their first reaction was to find a scapegoat.
And so, the accounts that had deliberately misled them about Qiao Yun became the new targets of their wrath, with Professor Qiao’s most ardent fans leading the charge with the harshest insults.
Right at this juncture, Shengqiao Group issued a public statement.
The statement accused Jiang Jing of spreading false information about Professor Qiao online, causing her distress. Shengqiao revealed that they had gathered evidence and would press charges against Jiang Jing.
Setting aside how Jiang Shaocheng felt about seeing his own daughter publicly accused online, the netizens were utterly shocked.
Anyone following the exchange competition knew Jiang Jing had lost to Professor Qiao. Now, upon learning that Jiang Jing was the instigator, the internet exploded in outrage.
[So young yet so venomous—this can’t go unchecked. Support suing her.]
[I could tell just from her face that she’s a schemer. Turns out, I was right!]
[And she represented the Future Alliance? Everyone knows Adrian discriminates against Chinese people. By extension, Jiang Jing might as well be a traitor!]
[People like her should get out of China!]
The angry netizens were unsatisfied with just cursing her out online. They flooded the Jiang Group’s official account to boycott their products and even dug into the accounts of Jiang Jing’s former classmates for gossip.
Tired of being harassed, those classmates quickly distanced themselves from Jiang Jing, publicly declaring they barely knew her and condemning her actions. Only then did the netizens back off.
In no time, Jiang Jing became a social outcast among her peers and a punching bag for everyone online.
In the ongoing crusade against Jiang Jing, someone raised a thought-provoking question.
[Am I the only one wondering why Shengqiao Group is getting so involved in this? Since when did Qiao Yun’s issues become their business?]
[I get it now—President Pei is truly in love with Professor Qiao!]
[So, Pei Ya likes Qiao Yun! I used to think Qiao Yun wasn’t worthy, but now? She totally is! I hereby declare myself their CP fan.]
[Shengqiao and Tianqi are long-term collaborators; the two definitely interact a lot. Thinking about it, they really do match.]
[Did you all forget? Qiao Yun is Li Hanzhou’s girlfriend. Can the shippers please be more mindful?]
[She’s just a girlfriend, not married. Breakups happen, don’t they?]
[Professor Qiao belongs to Master Li! Pei Ya, don’t be a homewrecker!]
[Uh... am I the only one who feels this is inappropriate? If she has a boyfriend, she should maintain boundaries with other men.]
[Professor Qiao is so amazing—why can’t she have multiple admirers? Nothing wrong with that.]
[I can’t agree with this worldview, but for the record, I’d willingly be one of Professor Qiao’s admirers.]
[Master Li and Professor Qiao are a perfect match! One is young and accomplished; the other is the pillar of the nation. CEO X Professor? Count me in as their shipper!]
[Is President Pei not a CEO too?!]
The netizens spiraled into a lively debate about who better suited Professor Qiao. In the end, they cheekily concluded that she might as well keep both men, triggering a new round of discussions about who should be the "official partner" and who the "mistress."
Accidentally stumbling upon all this, Li Hanzhou: "..."
He glanced at Qiao Yun and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Qiao Yun tilted her head, her gaze asking: What’s wrong?
Li Hanzhou didn’t say a word and instead gave Qiao Yun a possessive kiss on the spot.
Qiao Yun: ???
Oh, whatever.
It’s her boyfriend. He gets spoiled.
While Li Hanzhou was busy staking his claim, someone online suddenly realized that Pei Ya had just made a new post.
Netizens eagerly rushed to Pei Ya’s account, ready for more gossip. But when they opened the post, they were completely floored.
Pei Ya: [Congratulations to the big boss for winning the award.]
Netizens: ?? Big boss?
Which big boss?
Whose big boss?
Who are you calling big boss?!
The netizens were baffled, shocked to learn that there was someone even above Pei Ya!
At this moment, who else could be winning an award?
Could it be... Qiao Yun?
No way, right?
Isn’t this too overwhelming?!
Soon, Tianqi’s repost confirmed the netizens’ absurd suspicions!
Tianqi Research Institute: [All of us must work hard to earn money for Professor Qiao to fund scientific research.]
Netizens: [...]
What happened to the whole "admiring from a distance" thing? 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
You’ve got to be kidding me—you’re just a worker?!
