Ex-wife becomes the world's number one hacker

On May 25, the EU business delegation arrived as scheduled.

The entire trip lasted three days and was packed with activities.

On the first day, there was an official reception, and there was little interaction with entrepreneurs like Jiang Yin.

The following morning, high-level political talks were held at the Great Hall of the People. This was a politically charged session aimed at clearing away policy obstacles at the highest level for future cooperation between enterprises.

Meanwhile, the entrepreneurs from both sides held a pre-conference summit forum at another venue.

When Lin Xiyue entered the forum, the venue was already more than half full.

She immediately spotted Qin Heming sitting in the middle of the first row, calmly conversing with the president of the Federation of European Industries next to him.

A slight smile played on her lips as she gracefully turned to find her seat. But the moment her gaze returned, it was fixed on an unexpected figure in the first row—Jiang Yin.

Lin Xiyue's face suddenly turned cold: What is she doing here? The people sitting in the first row are either important figures or guests who will be giving speeches later. Who is she?

Jiang Yin was sitting one seat away from the chairman of the federation, intently typing something on her laptop.

Lin Xiyue frowned slightly: Maybe the organizing committee arranged for her to do odd jobs? Otherwise, what would she be busy with on the computer right now?

She dismissively withdrew her gaze and turned to walk away.

He had only taken two steps when his eyes met those of Jian Tingyun, who was sitting in the second row.

Her face instantly softened into a gentle smile, and she was about to greet him when she saw Jian Tingyun simply nod at her, then bow and wave behind her.

Lin Xiyue turned around and saw Tang Ning walking past her.

She ignored them, walked with her head held high to the fifth row where her name tag was, and sat down. The lingering irritation in her heart surged up again.

Jian Tingyun's attitude during this period really puzzled her.

He even released "Moon River" during the Spring Festival... but in the few times we met at gatherings, his attitude was very indifferent. Not to mention, it's impossible to get him to go out alone.

A moment later, she looked up and saw that the first row was almost full.

Besides Qin Heming and that eyesore Jiang Yin, there were several well-known domestic entrepreneurs, European industry giants, and leaders of both chambers of commerce.

The curved seating area acted like an invisible halo, clearly separating the inside from the outside. The seating arrangement for the guests behind it also held its own secrets, silently revealing the company's status.

She noticed that Tang Ning was sitting in the second row just like Jian Tingyun, and she rolled her eyes inwardly, feeling resentful.

Just then, the lights in the venue slowly dimmed, and a bright spotlight shone on the stage.

The co-chairs of the organizing committee walked steadily onto the stage and announced the official opening of the "New Bridges, New Future: China-Europe Industrial Innovation and Cooperation Forum".

After a brief welcome speech, he introduced the first keynote speaker:

"Today, we are honored to have Mr. Qin Heming, an outstanding representative of China's real economy and globalization, share his systematic thinking on Sino-European industrial cooperation with us!"

Applause erupted like a tidal wave.

In the center of the first row, Qin Heming stood up, buttoned his suit jacket, nodded slightly to his left and right, and walked calmly toward the podium.

His steps were steady, his back broad, and when he passed Jiang Yin, he did not pause at all, as if there was no one there.

Lin Xiyue watched from below the stage, and the slight displeasure she felt because Jiang Yin was sitting in the front row seemed to be slightly soothed by Qin Heming's indifferent attitude.

See, in his eyes, she is nothing.

Lin Xiyue's lips curved slightly.

Qin Heming's speech began. His magnetic voice, clear and powerful, resonated throughout the venue through the high-quality sound system.

His words were filled with grand and solid terms such as "ecology," "system," and "sustainability," outlining a blueprint that requires profound knowledge and vast resources to manage.

The members of the EU delegation nodded frequently, clearly pleased. This was a language they were familiar with and appreciated—rational, stable, and predictable.

Lin Xiyue listened somewhat absentmindedly, her gaze lingering more on the slender figure in the first row. Jiang Yin had already closed her laptop, sitting upright with her back straight, seemingly listening intently, her profile serene.

Lin Xiyue scoffed inwardly: He's putting on quite a good act.

Qin Heming's speech ended amidst enthusiastic applause. He returned to his seat, and the president of the European Industrial Federation immediately turned to continue the conversation with him, the atmosphere quite amicable.

Next, several more entrepreneurs from both sides took the stage and delivered excellent speeches from different perspectives.

"Next," the host's voice carried a hint of excitement, eager to liven up the atmosphere.

"Let's welcome a speaker who brings us fresh perspectives in the field of technological innovation. She will tell us how technology can not only connect space but also expand the boundaries of perception. Please welcome Ms. Jiang Yin, founder and CTO of Tianyu Technology!"

With a "buzz," Lin Xiyue felt as if her scalp had exploded.

The spotlight shone brightly once more. This time, it precisely illuminated the figure who had stood up in the first row.

Today, Jiang Yin wore a perfectly tailored pearl white suit skirt, which was different from her usual dark colors. Among the crowd of people wearing dark suits, she looked exceptionally clean, dazzling, and even had an unapproachable aura.

She walked steadily and calmly onto the podium.

Then, a clear and pleasant voice rang out through the microphone throughout the silent venue:

"Thank you for the introduction, moderator. We just heard some excellent insights into the concepts of 'system' and 'resilience' in collaboration. Now, please allow me to pose a question: Once the system is already stable, how do we see beyond the system, into those undefined futures?"

The enormous screen behind her lit up, its deep blue spreading out like the universe, with countless points of light swirling and eventually converging into a concise yet powerful title for her speech:

When Drones Become the Earth's Eyelashes: Perceiving the Unspoken World

After the twenty-minute speech, the entire audience erupted in applause.

Lin Xiyue saw Jian Tingyun even stand up to applaud, and when Jiang Yin returned to her seat in the front row, she reached out and shook his hand.

Lin Xiyue narrowed her eyes, her face turning pale.

At this point, the co-chairs summarized Jiang Yin's speech in a few words:

"Ms. Jiang Yin is a poet and visionary of technology. She elevates cold hardware into a vision full of humanistic care and a sense of the future. This charm lies in the perfect combination of pure idealism and the real world."

The audience erupted in applause once again.

Lin Xiyue bit her lower lip so hard it almost bled.

......

The afternoon was the entrepreneurs' turn – business negotiations, the main event of the day.

At the National Convention Center, several parallel, small, closed-door meeting rooms have been set up according to industry sectors.

Jiang Yin and Tang Ning led all the senior executives of Tianyu in a busy afternoon in the conference room they were assigned to.

Because of the thorough preparation of the information and the solid and advanced technology, the afternoon yielded fruitful results, with several potential large contracts signed.

Jiang Yin and Tang Ning were all smiles; it seemed the EU market was about to open its doors to them.

On the morning of the third day, as per the conference agenda, the business delegation will visit the "International Cooperation and Scientific and Technological Achievements Exhibition" at the National Convention Center, as well as several representative companies.

Jiang Yin received a new task from higher-ups: as a rising star in the technology industry, she would work with business tycoon Qin Heming to provide guided tours for the delegation.

The mission was communicated by Long Xingyuan, who knew why the higher-ups had made this arrangement. Jiang Yin and Qin Heming were not only successful businesspeople, but also "faces" recognized at the national level, capable of representing the country's industrial image on the international stage.

Of course, another very important point is that both of them are incredibly good-looking, truly deserving of the title of visual representatives.

This is a major event that will be reported globally, so we must make the most eye-catching presentation.

......

At noon, after having lunch, Ding Meiyu watched the midday news on TV.

The news was reporting on the visit of the EU delegation. Since Qin Heming and Lin Xiyue were both attending, Ding Meiyu put down the remote control and watched attentively.

On television, the announcer reported in a clear and articulate voice:

The EU business delegation, which is currently visiting Beijing, visited the "Building a Road to Prosperity" International Cooperation and Technology Exhibition today. The delegation learned in detail about my country's latest achievements in digital economy, green technology and other fields, as well as its firm commitment to open cooperation.

The scene then cuts to:

The exhibition hall is magnificent, with lights focused on the core exhibition area.

Mr. Vádiz, the leader of the EU business delegation, walked in the center, slightly behind and to the left and right, accompanied by a young man and a woman.

When Ding Meiyu saw the two young men and women accompanying her, she was instantly stunned. They were actually Qin Heming and... Jiang Yin!

She sat up straight on the sofa, her eyes wide.

The camera then zoomed in on Jiang Yin's profile: she leaned slightly towards Mr. Vardis, pointing to a quantum computing model flowing on a transparent screen, speaking clearly and fluently in English.

"...This means that the efficiency of secure cross-border data collaboration will be revolutionized in the future."

She stood tall and straight, her pearl earrings shimmering softly under the light—the only adornment on her body, and the only softening element.

The camera then cuts to Qin Heming, who doesn't look at the screen but instead focuses his gaze on Mr. Vardis's face, as if observing the other's level of understanding.

As soon as Jiang Yin finished speaking, he naturally took over, his voice lower and deeper:

"The implementation of technology cannot be separated from mutually trusting rules and compatible infrastructure. We are working with our EU partners to promote dialogue on relevant standards."

As he spoke, he steadily gestured towards the next model displaying the "International Digital Gateway".

This is followed by a perfect two-person shot: Mr. Vardis walks in the middle, listening attentively and nodding occasionally. To his left is Jiang Yin in a silver-white suit, and to his right is Qin Heming in a composed dark gray haute couture suit.

The two speakers, one technical and the other ecological, one sharp and the other profound, presented a complementary and dynamic picture without a script, creating a powerful and mutually reinforcing interplay.

The announcer continued the broadcast off-screen:

"During the visit, representatives from both companies engaged in in-depth exchanges on industry issues of common concern. This visit has injected new impetus into further deepening bilateral economic and trade cooperation."

The image finally freezes: Mr. Vardis stops, turns around, and seems to ask a question to both his male and female companions.

The two were about to speak at almost the same time, but then paused for a moment, their eyes meeting briefly in the air.

Immediately, Qin Heming made a subtle "please" gesture, and Jiang Yin nodded and calmly responded.

This subtle, perfectly synchronized movement was captured precisely by the camera.

Ding Meiyu's heart sank to the bottom: they looked...so well-matched.

She quickly took a picture of the TV screen with her phone and sent it out.

Then, I started looking for Lin Xiyue on the TV screen. I finally caught a glimpse of her back in the scene of everyone leaving. She looked as ordinary as a passerby.

When Shen Lan received Ding Meiyu's message, she was trying on a designer scarf in front of the dressing mirror, happily turning around in front of the mirror.

Actually, this scarf is quite ordinary; it's even an out-of-season item.

However, the meaning is different.

It was the first gift her son, whom she had raised for over thirty years, had ever bought for her.

After raising them for over thirty years, this is the first time I've seen a return on my investment.

My son has become successful; he knows to use his own money to buy her gifts.

She knew that Gu Tingfeng had always looked down on this son, so she was going to take the scarf to him and give it a good shake.

She smiled and took the scarf off her neck, holding it in her hands.

She picked up her phone with her other hand to check her messages. When she saw the picture sent by Ding Meiyu, she froze, her hand slipped, and the scarf floated to the ground.
