When the old professor shouted again, the students in the auditorium turned to look at Ning Yao and Clarence.

“Mr. He, let me do it…” Ning Yao had been listening to the lecture, so she should be able to answer the question and was ready to do so in Clarence’s stead.

Just as she was about to stand up, Clarence pulled her back into her seat.

The man’s eyes were still a little drowsy and his entire body felt tired, but he still exuded a cold and oppressive aura.

The moment Clarence stood up, the girls in the hall let out muffled shrieks.

“He’s so handsome! Which department is he from?”

“I don’t know. I’ve never seen him before.”

“Professor Jin, this question is too difficult. I heard that Great Wall Group’s merger and acquisition case was a malicious one. There was no news on the internet. There must be some inside story.”

“Yes, and so how would you answer my question, then?”

…

Ning Yao was trying to find more information about Professor Jin’s question on her phone so that she could give Clarence some hints. She seemed even more nervous than him.

Professor Jin looked at Clarence sternly and said, “Tell me, why wasn’t Great Wall Group acquired by many internet companies but by an unknown small company instead?”

“To take advantage of the situation? It’s a mutually-beneficial deal. Why do you make it sound like a robbery?” Clarence sneered.

Everyone present was amused while Professor Jin’s face turned red as he coughed a few times. He said unhappily, “If it wasn’t for the special means used, how could a small company compete with other well-known companies?”

“You’re wrong.”Clarence sounded lazy yet certain. “Although many companies wanted to take advantage of Great Wall Group’s management turmoil, Great Wall Group was an old family business. They valued the company’s independence very much. At that time, the companies on the market that had the ability to acquire Great Wall Group conflicted with the group’s values. That was why Great Wall Group chose a newly established small company. They thought that if this new company doesn’t have the ability to take over Great Wall Group, the group can still maintain their independence in the future. ”

Clarence’s explanation was clear and logical. Moreover, he had revealed some information that had never been reported in the news.

Thus, everyone listened very seriously.

Professor Jin was also stunned. “How did you know?”

“I guessed.” Clarence’s lips curved into a smile.

Clarence’s nonchalant response made Professor Jin so angry that he fell speechless for a moment. Then, he retorted, “So you’re essentially talking nonsense? There isn’t even any evidence…”

“I simply analyzed and deduced things based on the situation at the time. How can you call it nonsense? Moreover, at that time, many companies in the country were using the IP of Great Wall Group as the foundation of their chip business. This put Great Wall Group in full control of negotiations. If it was a forced malicious acquisition, Great Wall Group would not have conceded.”

Everyone in the hall started whispering to each other – they were gradually getting more convinced that Clarence’s explanation was more reliable than Professor Jin’s.

Professor Jin stood awkwardly on the stage. After a long time, he sighed and helplessly admitted that Clarence might be right.

Ning Yao wasn’t expecting Professor Jin to accept Clarence’s response so quickly. She began to pull at Clarence’s sleeve happily as she looked at him with bright eyes. “Mr. He, you’re so amazing. Even Professor Jin said you were right.”

Clarence sat down, still looking a little tired. When he turned and saw Ning Yao’s lovely smile, he couldn’t help himself from reaching out and pinching her cheek. “Of course I’m not wrong.”

There was a hint of pride in the man’s eyes.

Ning Yao had never met such an outstanding and domineering man in her life. The charm he had in her eyes made him look like he was glowing.

“So, in the future, if there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me.” Clarence felt a sense of satisfaction he had never felt before when he saw the admiration in Ning Yao’s eyes.

The feeling of being admired by his future wife was great.

When the lecture ended, Ning Yao was about to leave with Clarence when a few girls walked up to them with blushing faces and asked, “Hey, your speech just now was wonderful. We are also a little curious about this case. Can we discuss this further?”

To put it bluntly, they just wanted his contact information.
