Chapter 482: Academic Exchange Conference (1)


Qin Yufan finally managed to contact the organizer of the academic exchange conference. Although the whole process was rather tortuous, in the end, she managed to get an invitation.


And thus, Qin Yufan arrived at the site of this very special academic exchange conference.


This academic exchange conference was not open to the public.


In fact, the entire venue was heavily guarded. Only those with invitations were allowed to enter.


After pa.s.sing through many security checks and ident.i.ty confirmations, Qin Yufan finally entered the venue.


The academic exchange conference was hosted in a small lecture hall.


There were probably less than eighty seats in the lecture hall.


This signified that there would not be too many people attending the conference.


And thus, those who could attend this conference were either elites in the medical industry or important individuals from key financial groups.


As soon as she entered the lecture hall, Qin Yufan saw a face that she was not unfamiliar with.


Jian Yiling?


Why was she here?


Did Master Sheng get her an invitation?


Such an a.s.sumption was a reasonable explanation to Qin Yufan.


If it weren’t for Master Sheng’s connections, then there would be no way that she could have gotten an invitation to this place.


As she was a medical student, she would definitely be interested in this kind of academic exchange conference.


And if she was interested and wanted to attend such an event, Master Sheng would definitely help her get an invitation.


Qin Yufan gazed at Jian Yiling. Jian Yiling was currently talking to a middle-aged man with white hair in the backstage area.


As there was quite some distance between them, she couldn’t hear a word of their conversation.


Qin Yufan didn’t know who the middle-aged man with white hair was either. However, it appeared as though Jian Yiling and the man knew each other quite well.


Qin Yufan looked at them for a while before she realized that she was not acting like her normal self.


Why was she paying attention to Jian Yiling?


Jian Yiling’s matters weren’t related to her!


It was Zhai Yunsheng’s loss to like Jian Yiling and not her!


She wasn’t going to copy that girl!


And she wasn’t interested in what that girl was doing either! Why would Jian Yiling’s matters concern her?


When the academic exchange conference began, various big shots from the industry came onto the stage to give speeches.


However, the content of their speeches was too cryptic for Qin Yufan to understand.


Instead, Qin Yufan was more concerned about the people that were present at the conference. She carefully observed everyone as she was trying to find the individual from Lahaisen Hospital.


After looking around for a while, Qin Yufan still couldn’t figure it out.


She had no clue who she was looking for.


Qin Yufan’s attention eventually drifted back to Jian Yiling. She noticed that Jian Yiling was not in the audience.


Why was Jian Yiling not in her seat? Why was she not listening to the academic presentations?


During the intermission of the conference, Qin Yufan talked to some of the professors that were seated nearby.


She hoped to get some news about Lahaisen Hospital from their mouths.


However, Qin Yufan soon discovered that the professors were also interested in Lahaisen Hospital. They knew nothing more than her.


Professor Huang from the medical faculty at Beijing University was also here.


Because of the quota restriction, Professor Huang could only bring two students with him. And thus, he brought the students that he had high hopes for. One of them was Lu Yuan and the other one was a male student.


As Jian Yiling was an exchange student, Professor Huang hadn’t invited her.


Similar to Qin Yufan, Professor Huang’s mind was not on the academic exchange conference itself.


Lu Yuan looked around the venue. She unexpectedly saw Jian Yiling at the entrance of the backstage.


“Professor, it seems that Jian Yiling is here too.”
