Cayden said , “ This is my PhD student , Wynn Locket . ”
Besides Wynn , Cayden had brought along four or five other students . Among them , Wynn was the only one from Ceravelle .
Once people realized that Wynn was Cayden’s student , many at the venue couldn’t help but feel envious .
“ Oh my god , she’s actually Professor Sweeney’s PhD student ? That’s amazing ! ”
“ Plus , she’s also beautiful . It’s like the universe gave her everything . So unfair ! ”
“ Wait , there’s more – she’s also Trevor Fleming’s girlfriend . ”
“ No way – no , I can’t take this anymore . Comparing people really will make you depressed ! ”
At that moment , Wynn became not just one of the central figures of the event , but also the person of envy and jealousy for many young people in attendance .
As word spread that Wynn was Cayden’s student and Trevor’s girlfriend , someone who had just greeted Cayden turned to Trevor and joked , “ Mr. Fleming , seems like you’ve got it all , huh ? ”
Trevor just smiled and was about to respond , when Cayden , having just learned his identity , clapped him on the shoulder .
Then , he said to Trevor , “ Not bad ! But I heard you two have been together for two years . Why aren’t you married yet ? Don’t tell me you haven’t won my student’s heart ? If that’s the case , you’d better work harder – I’m rooting for you ! ”
Hearing this , many in the crowd who understood laughed heartily .
But not everyone was amused .
Celeste , Matthias , and Beck remained silent , along with Jorge , who had just arrived .
As soon as Jorge entered , he saw Cayden at the center of attention beside Wynn .
After one of his assistants briefed him on who Cayden was an AI heavyweight who’d made major contributions to the field for the last decade and was also Wynn’s advisor he took the man’s words a lot more seriously .
But when he heard Cayden pushing Trevor to get married , he couldn’t help but feel a pang of bitterness .
There was no way he could laugh at that .
Celeste and Matthias noticed his arrival but made no move to greet him .
Jorge , for his part , had grown disillusioned with Matthias . Still , since they were business partners , he felt compelled and went over to greet Matthias anyway .
But unlike before — when he would eagerly try to make friendly conversation despite being snubbed – his tone now was noticeably cold .
But , Matthias didn’t hold back . With a dry chuckle , he said , Mr. Robinson , if you don’t want to greet me , I won’t force you . From now on , outside of work , you can treat me like a stranger . ”
Hearing this , Jorge didn’t bother pretending anymore . He responded coldly , “ As you wish , Mr. Yoder . ”
And with that , he threw a cold glance at Celeste as well .

Matthias caught that and nearly laughed out of sheer irritation .
Just then , Cayden noticed Matthias .
Matthias had already gained some international recognition . In fact , he was one of the main reasons for Cayden’s visit to Ceravelle .
As a legend from the previous generation of AI pioneers , Cayden had come to meet the rising star of this generation – Matthias .
He didn’t put on any airs . Instead , he approached warmly and extended a hand .
“ Mr. Yoder , hello . I’ve been very interested in your team’s latest project and long hoped to have a deep conversation with you . ”
YodaVision’s newest project , Infinite – CM , had broken through the long – standing monopoly Andostan held in AI technology – effectively leapfrogging the competition and delivering a heavy blow to Andostan’s AI industry .
YodaVision’s achievements had given foreign engineers and researchers countless headaches . But the more desperate they became , the more they wanted to understand how Matthias had pulled it off .
Thus , it wasn’t just Cayden but also many top international engineers who were eager to meet Matthias and exchange ideas with him .
The only problem was , they’d never had the chance to until now .
And Cayden wasn’t going to miss it .
