After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

Chen Jie, however, was not as optimistic as him. "President Gu, I've found out that the major shareholder of Deep Space Technology Co., Ltd. has given Professor Shen Yao the veto power."

Gu Tianyou wondered if he had misheard. "Shen Yao?"

Chen Jie corrected, "It's Professor Shen Yao."

"who is she?"

"He is the initiator and person in charge of this cancer drug research project at Deep Space Technology Co., Ltd. He currently works at Deep Space Technology Co., Ltd., and is a high-achieving graduate of Harvard Medical School. He has performed several difficult medical surgeries."

The more Gu Tianyou listened, the more familiar it seemed. He pushed up his glasses, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Is the person you're talking about a man or a woman?"

Chen Jie clicked his tongue, genuinely worried for his boss.

"Mr. Gu, can't you tell? She's the young mistress!"

Gu Tianyou was stunned for a long time before he could react.

"The Professor Shen you mentioned, is her name Shen Yao?" Gu Tianyou repeated incredulously. "She developed a cancer drug for late-stage stomach cancer patients in just one year?"

"Yes, it's the young mistress!" Chen Jie smiled happily when he saw that Gu Tianyou had finally come to his senses.

"Now, please welcome Professor Shen Yao to the stage! Let's give her a round of applause!" The female host's voice interrupted Gu Tianyou and Chen Jie's conversation.

After a lengthy introduction of each company, the female host excitedly announced the arrival of the main character of the meeting.

All eyes were focused on the podium.

Shen Yao walked calmly to the podium, bowed slightly to the crowd, and gave a serene smile.

Staff members had already pulled out a chair for her.

When people realized that Shen Yao was actually a young and beautiful woman, the scene erupted like a bomb had been dropped.

"I thought Professor Shen would be either a bald old man or a lifeless old aunt, but I never expected her to be such a beautiful woman!"

"Could it really have been her who developed it? She's too young; it's highly unlikely!"

"Maybe he's hanging out with some old professor, so he got the honorary title for this project."

Offstage, speculations about Shen Yao's malice arose one after another.

Shen Yao wasn't deaf. Sitting on the stage, she heard the words of praise, but she also heard these malicious remarks.

In this era, some men always view outstanding women through a biased lens.

Shen Yao maintained a calm smile in the face of both the good and the bad.

She opened her PowerPoint presentation, briefly introduced her academic background, and showcased the surgeries and research projects she had performed. At the end, she added a sentence.

“Everyone here has a data department. You can now have your data department verify my personal information and resume. I will give you 10 minutes.”

"Professor Shen, why waste your time on someone else's one-sided opinion?" A colleague sitting next to her said, speaking up for her.

Shen Yao smiled slightly at her colleagues, her gaze falling on everyone in the audience.

"If I'm going to bring this drug to market, I hope that our cooperation will be based on mutual trust. If any of you here doubt my abilities, I can give you time to investigate me."

Shen Yao's calm, confident, and candid words instantly commanded the respect of everyone present.

However, some cautious individuals still called their subordinates to begin investigating Shen Yao's background.

The already tense meeting room became even more tense.
