The person approaching was none other than Elder Ying, who walked over briskly and said with a hearty laugh, "You old man, still as stubborn as ever."
At this moment, the sun was high in the sky, and all the invited guests had arrived. Elder Ying patted Old Li on the shoulder and said, "We'll catch up later."
He then stepped up to the front stage and addressed everyone, "Hello everyone. The main purpose of inviting you all here today is to discuss the issues we've encountered in recent years. Feel free to speak your minds; any problems that can't be solved can be brought up for us to explore solutions together."
Liu Qingxi sat in a corner, observing this format, which resembled some academic conferences from his past life.
It was unclear who first proposed this method, but it played an important role in enhancing the capabilities of professionals in the construction field.
Listening to everyone's discussions, considering different viewpoints, and absorbing new knowledge proved to be very effective for personal growth.
"Everyone can speak freely; if you have questions, just ask. Old Man is fortunate enough to continue hosting this session. Opportunities like this will be rare in the future. However, our industry has an increasing number of young people; it will soon be your time," Elder Ying expressed with deep emotion. His peers had all turned gray and hunched over, lacking the energy and strength to continue striving.
The era of young people had arrived, and they should focus on nurturing the next generation with talent and interest.
As always, Elder Ying opened with his usual remarks. Since gaining fame, he had hosted every conference in Lingjiang Province.
However, with age taking its toll, his physical strength and energy were gradually declining. He felt a sense of urgency to find a disciple. Upon hearing about Liu Qingxi's talents, he was eager to take him under his wing.
After Elder Ying finished speaking, he handed the floor over to everyone as attendants began serving tea and snacks.
Those seated together exchanged familiar greetings or introduced their acquaintances.
"Old Li! It's great to see you again after such a long time. How have you been?"
“Elder Ying, junior…”
A group of young people rushed forward, surrounding Old Li and Elder Ying, eager to introduce themselves and seek attention.
If they could take this opportunity to connect with industry bigwigs, their future would surely be smooth sailing.
Among those attending the meeting, many had such intentions.
With the mindset of nurturing the younger generation, Elder Ying and the others answered the juniors' questions as best as they could.
The atmosphere was warm and harmonious, resembling that of a gathering of experts and scholars.
In contrast to the lively scene around her, Liu Qingxi appeared quite lonely. Being young and a girl without any familiar faces around, she naturally received no attention.
Liu Qingxi didn’t mind; she listened to others and could still learn a lot. The process was not important; what mattered was achieving her learning goals.
However, just because no one paid her any attention didn’t mean there weren’t discussions about her. At a nearby table, four or five young men in their thirties were passionately sharing their opinions.
Suddenly, someone brought up the topic: “Look at that girl! Instead of staying at home at her age, she’s out here trying to make a name for herself…”
The disdain in his tone was quite evident, with a slight curl of his lips and rolling eyes, his expression very arrogant.
Another one exaggerated even more: “Who knows what means she used to get in here? It’s obvious she didn’t use normal methods.” What frustrated these men the most was that after years of hard work, they had finally earned this hard-won opportunity, while Liu Qingxi, a mere Young Lady, had achieved in her teens what took them half a lifetime to attain.
Although they were unaware of her true identity, they felt quite resentful deep down.
Many people share this sentiment; in their eyes, Liu Qingxi is not a respectable person, as they refuse to believe that she received the invitation through her own abilities.
The most furious among them is Ren Qiangsheng, who had already clashed with Liu Qingxi before entering Ying Mansion.
Upon hearing the comments from his tablemates, he immediately resonated with them: "Did you see her arrogant demeanor? She really thinks she's something special..."
He exaggerated the earlier incident, insisting that Liu Qingxi, as a newcomer, looked down on her seniors.
As if afraid Liu Qingxi wouldn't hear him, Ren Qiangsheng deliberately raised his voice: "Some people, lacking real skills, resort to underhanded tactics."
He cast a pointed glance toward Liu Qingxi, while the others continued to discuss across the table.
Liu Qingxi took a sip of tea and heard the mockery from next door. She glanced over briefly before slowly turning her gaze back. These people were insincere and lacked the resilient learning attitude of Elder Ying, who believed in lifelong learning.
Such individuals are destined not to go far. In this era, Liu Qingxi has faced many disdainful looks.
She is not the type to resort to violence at the slightest disagreement; that would be unrealistic. Instead, she has strengthened her resolve through various setbacks and will not let others' ridicule affect her mood.
Because the truth will always reveal everything, and one's abilities will ultimately speak for themselves. Reality will deliver a resounding slap to those who underestimate her.
What Liu Qingxi does not know is that her calm glance has caused Ren Qiangsheng's heart to race, even leaving him feeling breathless.
Finally, as time passed, the crowd surrounding Elder Ying gradually dispersed, allowing him to survey the entire scene.
At this moment, Ren Qiangsheng grew increasingly arrogant, believing he was right since Liu Qingxi did not refute him.
"Hahaha, those without real skills who want to mix in here should just roll out. What are girls doing making a fuss? It's proper for them to focus on supporting their husbands and raising children, not showing off and being frivolous."
The malicious words did not sound like something a successful person would say; there was no class at all.
Yet, blinded by jealousy, he couldn't help but harbor such venomous thoughts.
Everyone's gaze turned here, eyes wide in shock, but deep down, they agreed with Ren Qiangsheng's sentiment.
Liu Qingxi was not angry, but Elder Ying's face turned red with rage. This precious disciple of his was being mocked and insulted right in his territory.
Did they not regard him at all? It was simply outrageous.
Elder Ying's smile faded as he slowly approached Ren Qiangsheng.
The people at the table suddenly tensed up, quickly standing up and putting on smiles as they walked respectfully to Elder Ying. "Elder Ying, greetings. I am..."
The others hurriedly introduced themselves, but Elder Ying paid no attention. He pointed at Ren Qiangsheng and asked, "What is your name?"
Wow, this important figure is actually talking to me, and he initiated it! Ren Qiangsheng couldn't suppress his inner joy and bowed deeply. "Elder Ying, I am Ren Qiangsheng from Jinru County. I once..."
Just as he was about to introduce his achievements, Elder Ying abruptly raised his hand. "Enough, Old Man doesn't want to hear that. I just want to know what you said earlier."
