When the others heard this, they also looked at Jiang Ce with contempt. After saying his piece, Zhang Chengzhi walked away again, continuing to chat and laugh with the people beside him.
Jiang Ce couldn't be bothered to pay them any mind. At first, I thought the atmosphere of this so-called exchange was quite good. Now, it seems it's just a gathering of people with talent but no integrity. He had already considered leaving, but out of consideration for Dr. Liu, he decided to stay until the end of the meeting.
The previous incident felt like a minor interlude. Soon, the crowd started talking again. However, they deliberately avoided Jiang Ce, isolating him in a corner. The glances thrown his way were filled with disdain. With nothing better to do, Jiang Ce started playing on his phone.
The entire exchange was supposed to continue in this manner, but suddenly, a frantic cry broke the atmosphere.
"Help! Please, help me!"
