Ex-wife becomes the world's number one hacker

Another staff member was equally excited:

"Yeah, how can someone as perfect as Mr. Qin be so handsome? He's even better looking than a celebrity! His girlfriend is beautiful too, they're such a perfect match!"

"I'm so jealous, I'm so sour!" The girl from before pouted, drawing out her words.

"What's there to be sour about? She's supposedly a PhD graduate from a prestigious university, and a rich heiress. What do we have to compare ourselves to?"

"........well!"

Jiang Yin looked up in confusion and happened to see Qin Heming walking in the corridor. Their eyes met.

But Qin Heming immediately turned his gaze elsewhere without expression, while Lin Xiyue, who was walking beside him, was looking at him with disdain.

Jiang Yin coldly turned her gaze back to the drone in her hand, thinking to herself:

Before, I'd only see him a few times a year. Each time I did, I was overjoyed. Now, my heart is as still as water, yet I saw him twice in one morning. How ironic life is!

When Lin Xiyue saw Qin Heming looking at Jiang Yin like a stranger, she couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of her lips.

So she stopped paying attention to Jiang Yin, put on her ten-centimeter-high stiletto heels, and followed Qin Heming's pace with her head held high.

Li Tianmu, who had been following behind Qin Heming, stopped in his tracks, looking in Jiang Yin's direction, raising his eyebrows and looking puzzled.

Seeing Li Tianmu standing there in a daze, Jian Tingyun leaned over and asked, "What's wrong? Did you see someone you know?"

Li Tianmu gestured with his chin towards Jiang Yin and asked, "Who is that handsome young man?"

Jian Tingyun glanced in that direction as well and said, "His name is Tang Ning, from the Wang family's Shuguang Technology, you know him, right?"

Li Tianmu looked at him and said, "I know, isn't the boss Chang Lei?"

Jian Tingyun nodded, pointed in Tang Ning's direction, and said:

"He's the operations director at Dawning Technology. He's very capable, understanding both technology and business," Jian Tingyun said, holding up four fingers on her right hand.

"In four years, he rose from a regular employee to operations director, becoming a hot commodity for headhunters. Boss Wang was supposed to promote him to COO of the tech company this year, but he resigned recently, saying he wanted to start his own business."

"How do you know so much about this?" Li Tianmu asked, looking at him as if he knew everything.

Jian Tingyun chuckled and said:

"My family's tech company boss also wants to poach him, hahaha. I'm not trying to be mean, but he's always out of luck when things are hot."

Li Tianmu didn't care whether Old Dong could get a hot meal; he continued staring at Tang Ning and asked, "How did he end up hanging out with Jiang?"

Jian Tingyun rubbed her chin and said, "They're classmates, right? They're both from Xijing University."

After saying this, seeing that Qin Heming and the others had already walked far away, Jian Tingyun pulled Li Tianmu along, and the two of them walked towards Qin Heming's direction.

Li Tianmu kept looking back as he walked away, appearing reluctant to leave.

Jiang Yin and Tang Ning worked quickly, covering almost every booth in one morning without stopping. Back in the slightly quieter aisle, Tang Ning unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to Jiang Yin, her brow furrowed slightly.

"What do you think of it?"

"The quality varies greatly; there are only a few truly competitive ones." Jiang Yin took the water, took a small sip, her gaze still sweeping over the surrounding booths. She exhaled softly and continued:

"As expected, the basic patents that the country declassified a few years ago were too scattered and unsystematic. Many companies that obtained them did not know how to use them, and the technological gap was very obvious."

"So," a sharp glint flashed in Tang Ning's eyes, "this is indeed a true blue ocean."

"Yes." Jiang Yin nodded firmly.

Qin Heming and his group also spent the morning lingering in the drone exhibition area.

At the booth of a top manufacturer, Jian Tingyun leaned close to Li Tianmu and whispered, "Is the news reliable? Are those high-value patents really about to be declassified?"

Li Tianmu finally turned his gaze away from Tang Ning and nodded firmly: "The family has confirmed it. It'll be a matter of one or two days. They'll issue a document soon announcing the application and authorization process. It'll be very quick. Who in the industry isn't eager to get involved? This is the next trillion-dollar opportunity."

"Has your older brother made a decision yet? Is your family going to launch a drone project?" Jian Tingyun nudged Li Tianmu with her shoulder.

Li Tianmu shook his head and said regretfully, "No, he said our family didn't plan ahead like you did, so we're starting a bit late and won't compete with you."

Although Qin Heming, walking ahead, didn't turn around, he overheard the entire conversation. Indeed, the Qin Group had already laid out its plans, but its path had always been blocked by the formidable obstacle of core patents. Now, with the nation providing a crucial boost, he was determined to win this race for market share.

Throughout the morning, Jiang Yin and her companion encountered Qin Heming and his group several times within the exhibition area. The two groups passed each other without acknowledging each other.

Only Li Tianmu frequently glanced at Tang Ning, so much so that even Jiang Yin, who was completely absorbed in her work, noticed the intense stares.

Jiang Yin nudged Tang Ning with her elbow and asked in confusion:

Do you know him?

Tang Ning had already noticed Li Tianmu's unusual behavior and had searched her memory but couldn't recall it, so she shook her head.

Tang Ning felt very annoyed. Every time he felt Li Tianmu looking over and wanted to meet his gaze to find out what was going on, Li Tianmu would quickly look away as if nothing had happened.

This made Tang Ning really want to roll up her sleeves, put her hands on her hips, and ask him a good question:

"What are you looking at?"

However, considering Jiang Yin's relationship with them, they had no choice but to give up in order to avoid complicating matters.

Lin Xiyue learned from the cryptic conversation between Jian Tingyun and Li Tianmu that Jiang Yin and Tang Ning were actually planning to start a business! And in such a cutting-edge field as drones.

A mixture of contempt and pleasure welled up inside her, and she almost felt pity for Jiang Yin's naiveté.

"Truly... commendable courage." She chuckled to herself: Two undergraduates, a penniless pair, trying to break into a high-tech field where you need mountains of gold and seas of silver to get started? Don't they even know their own limitations?

Putting aside the distant past, just look at those national patents that are about to be declassified. The application thresholds are so high and the reviews so strict that even Xingxin Technology, which is itself, has no confidence. Their newly established makeshift team wouldn't dare to dream of obtaining patent authorization, would they?

This is utterly overestimating their abilities!

She could almost foresee Jiang Yin's eventual miserable state of having neither money nor technology, and having no choice but to close down.

At noon, Jiang Yin and Tang Ning grabbed a quick bite near the convention center for lunch.

There's a high-level forum about drones at 1:30 PM, and they want to attend.

Ten minutes early, Jiang Yin and Tang Ning arrived at the forum venue.

The forum was set up in a corner of the central hall connecting the east and west exhibition halls, with a quiet space carved out by large display boards around it.

Upon entering the venue, they found it already packed with people, and the two found seats in the back row.

The three backdrops of the main stage are all dark blue with highly futuristic visuals.

In the vast universe, a trail of light from a swarm of drones converges into a star trail, cleverly blending into the Milky Way.

The main display board prominently displays the title in large white letters: The Present and Future of Civilian Drones!

The following line is the subtitle: Focusing on Current Challenges and Future Industrial Opportunities!

At this crucial moment when the race for dominance is about to begin, such forum content is like a timely spring rain, which is perhaps why it has attracted such a large following.

What made the forum even more sensational were the two keynote speakers, both of whom are top authorities in the field of drones in China: one is Professor Ouyang Sheng from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and the other is Professor Han Zheng from Beijing Institute of Technology.

At 1:30 p.m., the forum started on time, and the two professors took the stage at the invitation of the host.

Both were around fifty years old, with a wise and refined demeanor.

Once on stage, they spoke eloquently. One focused on the present, the other looked to the future.

The entire venue was completely silent, with the audience holding their breath, afraid of missing any valuable information.

As soon as the two-hour forum ended and the audience applauded, a group of business leaders sitting in the front row swarmed around the two professors, all wanting to take the opportunity to chat and make friends.

Everyone knows that what's in high demand in today's society is undoubtedly top talent.

Even if we can't recruit two professors, it would be good if they could recommend a few of their top students.

However, amidst the commotion, Professor Ouyang suddenly stood up, gestured to the surrounding crowd to wait a moment, apologized repeatedly, and then walked quickly past the crowd to the back of the venue.

What's even more surprising is that Professor Han Zheng followed closely behind, almost running to keep up in his haste.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the two academic giants left behind a host of other prominent figures and excitedly headed to the back row.

There stood a tall, elegant young couple...
