Chapter 785
Quentin didn’t look toward the audience. He didn’t pay attention to anyone else’s reaction, nor did he give Wynn a chance to speak.
Hearing Philip’s words, he let out a mocking laugh. “Oh? Is that so? What makes you think that, Professor Lancaster? Is it because you’ve read the papers she published? Is it because you’ve just spoken with her and confirmed that she is truly outstanding?”
Philip was about to answer. But Quentin looked directly at him and continued before he could say anything.
“But are you sure you really know enough about her? Are you sure she’s truly as exceptional as you believe she is?”
Quentin’s words clearly carried another meaning.
At first, most of the people watching the scene were completely confused. They had no idea what was happening.
However, regardless of whether they were part of the Al industry or whether they understood the significance of Celeste’s published papers and awards, most of them knew one thing-YodaVision was currently being led primarily by Celeste and Matthias.
And from what they had heard, Celeste was able to stand alongside Matthias because, during their collaborations, the technical support she provided and her ability to solve problems were in no way inferior to his.
That was why many leading figures in technology who had worked with her held her
in high regard and constantly praised her capabilities.
In other words, Celeste’s talent was undeniably exceptional. So, Philip wanting to take her as his student made perfect sense to them.
But as for Wynn…
Aside from her identity as Trevor’s girlfriend, they hadn’t really heard much about her achievements. If she was truly on the same level as Celeste, wouldn’t she have already become Trevor’s right-hand person like Celeste had?
Therefore, as they watched the scene unfold, quite a few people assumed that Wynn simply couldn’t accept losing the opportunity to become Philip’s student and had deliberately sent someone to create trouble.
But now, listening to Quentin, why did it seem like there was more to the story?
Philip had naturally noticed that Quentin’s words carried hidden implications. He frowned. “What exactly do you mean?”
Quentin smiled before turning his gaze toward the audience.
He looked at Celeste and Matthias before speaking. “Many of you may not know this, but I was once an employee of YodaVision as well.”
The moment those words left his mouth, the banquet hall erupted in shocked exclamations. No one had expected that Quentin had actually worked at YodaVision before.
The more Quentin spoke, the more anxious Wynn became. But he didn’t give anyone a chance to interrupt.
He quickly shifted his gaze away from Celeste and Matthias and continued looking at Philip. “The reason I joined Yodavision back then was because of YodaVision’s programming language.
“During the time I worked there, I always believed Mr. Yoder was someone who truly
loved Al. Someone incredibly creative, and someone pure in his pursuit of
technology.
“Until one day, my junior told me that she also wanted to join YodaVision because she was deeply interested in YodaVision’s programming language as well. At the ti time also felt that following Mr. Yoder would help us grow, so I introduced her to him.
“On the day they met, everything was going perfectly. Mr. Yoder was also very satisfied with her. After all, she entered university at 14 years old Later, she successfully entered one of the world’s top three universities and became a PhD student under Professor Sweeney.
“With a background like that, I don’t think it would be an exaggeration to call her a genius, would it?”
Before Quentin could finish, the people below had already realized that the “junior” he was talking about was most likely Wynn.
At the same time, waves of shocked whispers and exclamations spread through the banquet hall.
Everyone knew Wynn seemed impressive, but they hadn’t really understood just how talented she was. After hearing Quentin explain it, they realized how extraordinary Wynn truly was.
They also suddenly understood why Trevor treated her so well and loved her so deeply.
