There were quite a few people gathered around Celeste and Matthias .
When Morgan and Lucien approached , some people in the crowd were about to greet them , but Morgan smiled and gestured for them to stay quiet .
Then he and the others stood at the edge of the group , quietly listening to Matthias and Celeste answer questions .
Many attendees at the conference were graduates of prestigious universities . There was no shortage of capable , knowledgeable people .
Celeste and Matthias not only responded to others ‘ questions but also occasionally encountered a few individuals who could carry on more in – depth discussions with them .
Those with a similarly broad knowledge base were deeply engaged in the back – and – forth . Those who lacked the technical background – especially when it came to materials and manufacturing – felt like they were listening to a foreign language .
Lucien and Morgan clearly fell into the first group .
Wynn could mostly keep up , too .
In truth , after just a short exchange earlier , Celeste and Matthias had already sensed the gap between them and most of the crowd . So when they answered questions , they had unconsciously simplified their explanations .
Lucien and Morgan listened with great interest .
Just as they planned to keep listening , someone up front recognized them and exclaimed , “ Ah – it’s Academician Morgan Hale and Professor Lucien Zandrell ! ”
Celeste and Matthias paused and followed the direction of everyone’s gaze . Sure enough , they saw Morgan , Lucien -and Trevor , Wynn , and Miles .
Celeste and Matthias instinctively ignored Trevor and Wynn .
Now that Morgan had arrived , Matthias had no choice but to stop and , along with Celeste , walk over to greet them . “ Mr. Hale , Professor Zandrell . ”
Morgan smiled and clapped his hands . “ As expected of Mr. Newman’s student – very impressive . ”
Matthias smiled , but before he could say anything , Morgan added , “ Your talent doesn’t surprise me . What surprises me more is that the young woman beside you is just as capable . ”
He laughed . “ Aren’t you going to introduce us ? ”
Matthias paused and said , “ Celeste Rodriguez , a member of our technical team at YodaVision . ”
“ Oh , a technician at YodaVision , ” Morgan replied . “ So , your company doesn’t just have you – it has another young talent just as impressive . No wonder YodaVision is doing so well . ”
Matthias said , “ You flatter us . ”
Lucien also came forward to greet them .
Hearing how fluently Celeste conversed with others , Wynn was indeed surprised .
So , Celeste wasn’t as clueless as she had assumed .
Matthias was Zachary’s student and was exceptionally skilled . If Celeste had been following him closely , she

might have truly been learning something .
But materials were only one field .
If Celeste had graduated from college at 18 just like her , then her learning ability was definitely there . As long as she had the right mindset , it was completely reasonable for someone like her to pick things up under Matthias guidance .
Wynn recalled hearing years ago that Celeste had skipped three grades in high school and been admitted to one of the top universities in the country – Aurelia University . She had assumed Celeste must be quite impressive .
But in the two or three years that followed , she learned that Celeste’s performance in college was far less remarkable compared to her entrance exam results . Celeste had never participated in any major international competitions .
Wynn , on the other hand , hadn’t scored as highly on her entrance exam , but during university , she had won numerous awards – enough to get her a place in a top – tier graduate program , which she had completed all the way through her PhD without any setbacks .
Thinking of all this , Wynn looked at Celeste , listening to Morgan praise her . She smiled , but said nothing .
She turned her head and glanced at Trevor .
Trevor’s expression was calm . He looked away , as if completely indifferent to the compliments Morgan and the others were giving Celeste . Like her , he didn’t seem to think Celeste was particularly impressive .
That thought made Wynn smile a little .
As for things like Advanced Materials or AI – Miles had absolutely no clue what any of it meant .
Listening to Celeste converse so smoothly , and with Morgan singing her praises nonstop , Miles felt a little dazed .
He looked over at Trevor and Wynn . “ Is she actually this capable ? ”
Before Trevor could respond , Wynn smiled and looked at him . “ What do you think ? ”
He stared blankly for a second , utterly speechless .
How was he supposed to know ?
If he had the answers , he wouldn’t be standing here wasting time asking them .
But judging by Trevor and Wynn’s reactions , it seemed like maybe Celeste wasn’t quite as impressive as she seemed .
Seeing that Morgan probably wouldn’t be done chatting with Celeste and Matthias anytime soon , Wynn said , Trevor , don’t you still have things to take care of ? Why don’t we go first ? ”
“ 1
Trevor replied , “ Alright . ”
With that , he took a few steps forward and said to Morgan , “ Mr. Hale , we’ve got something to attend to , so we’ll be heading out first . ”
Morgan nodded . “ Alright . ”
He smiled and gave Wynn a polite nod .
Trevor glanced at Celeste once more , then turned and left with Wynn and Miles .
