Mai Huahua suddenly stood up, surprised to the point that she didn't even notice the documents scattering all over the floor. "You... you are Dr. X?"
Dr. X looked at Mai Huahua's astonished expression and smiled gently, nodding affirmatively.
"You... how did you come here?" Mai Huahua stammered, completely losing her usual calm demeanor.
"Well," Dr. X pointed to the chair by the table, "may I sit down and talk?"
"Of course, of course, please sit." Mai Huahua finally regained her composure and hurriedly bent down to pick up the documents on the floor.
"No need to trouble yourself." Dr. X bent down to help Mai Huahua gather the scattered papers. "Let me assist you."
Mai Huahua was taken aback and waved her hands repeatedly. "No, no, I can do it myself."
The two of them organized the documents together, and Dr. X sat across from Mai Huahua, getting straight to the point. "I came to China primarily to collaborate with your country's space agency on developing a new type of spacecraft engine."
"You... you mean..." Mai Huahua's eyes widened, barely able to contain her excitement. "Are you saying that you want to work with us on the 'Starfire Project'?"
The "Starfire Project" is a National-Level Top Secret Project aimed at developing a new generation of spacecraft engines to break through existing technological bottlenecks and achieve longer-distance interstellar travel. Mai Huahua is one of the core members of this project.
Dr. X nodded, a look of appreciation on his face. "Yes, I heard that you are in charge of the 'Starfire Project,' so I specifically requested to meet with you."
"I..." Mai Huahua was momentarily at a loss for words and could only stare blankly at Dr. X.
Dr. X's arrival was undoubtedly a huge surprise for Mai Huahua. He is not only a top scientist globally but also someone she has admired for a long time. Now that her idol wanted to work alongside her, how could she not be excited?
Meanwhile, Ma Xiaoyi had dressed up carefully and arrived early at the meeting place agreed upon with her agent. She wore the latest Chanel dress paired with a limited edition Hermès handbag, making her look radiant and attracting countless gazes from those around her.
"Xiao Yi, you look beautiful today," her agent exclaimed upon seeing Ma Xiaoyi.
"Of course," Ma Xiaoyi replied proudly as she tossed her hair back, confidence shining in her eyes. "Today is a big day for me as I get to meet my idol; I have to dress up nicely."
"Dr. X is already waiting at the hotel; let's head over now," the agent reminded, glancing at the time.
"Okay." Ma Xiaoyi stood up eagerly, linking her arm with the agent's as they walked toward the hotel.
The two arrived at the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel, and the agent knocked on the door.
"Come in," a deep male voice called from inside.
The agent pushed the door open, and Ma Xiaoyi walked in with an expression full of anticipation.
However, when she saw the situation in the room, her smile instantly froze.
There sat Dr. X on the sofa, chatting happily with a young woman.
That woman was none other than Mai Huahua, whom Ma Xiaoyi had once looked down upon!
"This... how is this possible?!" Ma Xiaoyi exclaimed in disbelief, her eyes widening as her handbag slipped helplessly to the floor.
The bag hit the ground with a dull thud, drawing everyone's attention to Ma Xiaoyi. Mai Huahua and Dr. X both stopped their conversation and looked curiously toward the door.
"Xiao Yi, what are you doing here?" The agent clearly hadn't expected to run into Mai Huahua here, and there was a hint of panic in their tone.
Ma Xiaoyi then realized her faux pas. She awkwardly smiled, bent down to pick up her bag from the floor, and pretended to be calm as she said, "I'm here to discuss a collaboration with Dr. X."
With that, she walked straight to the sofa, trying to force a sweet smile. "Dr. X, hello, I'm Ma Xiaoyi. It's a pleasure to meet you."
However, Dr. X merely nodded slightly without any intention of standing up, his gaze still fixed on Mai Huahua. "Miss Ma, please wait a moment; I am currently discussing the 'Starfire Project' with Miss Mai."
"The 'Starfire Project'?!" Ma Xiaoyi's smile immediately froze again as she looked incredulously at Mai Huahua. "What did you say? The 'Starfire Project'?"
Mai Huahua nodded calmly and handed the document in her hand to Dr. X. "Regarding the energy transmission issue of the engine, I think we could try..."
Mai Huahua continued speaking, completely ignoring Ma Xiaoyi's presence. Dr. X listened attentively, occasionally nodding in agreement. The conversation between them was professional and in-depth, completely unlike a performance.
Ma Xiaoyi stood aside, feeling like an outsider. She opened her mouth, wanting to interject, but found she couldn't break into their discussion at all.
"Um..." Ma Xiaoyi awkwardly cleared her throat, trying to catch Dr. X's attention. "Dr. X, actually I..."
However, Dr. X paid her no mind and remained focused on Mai Huahua's explanation. Mai Huahua became more animated as she spoke, sharing her thoughts and insights without pause.
"Miss Mai, your ideas are very creative. I truly appreciate your enthusiasm and professionalism regarding the project," Dr. X said admiringly as he looked at Mai Huahua. "I hope we can have more opportunities to communicate in the future."
Mai Huahua smiled modestly. "You're too kind; I also look forward to learning from you."
The agent keenly sensed the change in atmosphere and quickly stepped in to smooth things over. "Dr. X, it's getting late; shall we go for a meal?"
"That sounds good." Dr. X stood up and extended his hand to Mai Huahua. "Miss Mai, it was a pleasure meeting you. I hope we can collaborate again next time."
"Thank you, Dr. X." Mai Huahua politely shook hands with Dr. X.
Dr. X turned to leave the room, and the agent hurriedly followed him out. Ma Xiaoyi stood there, her face alternating between shades of green and white. She never expected that the Mai Huahua she once looked down upon would now be a guest of honor for Dr. X, while she herself felt like an insignificant bystander, completely ignored.
