Wake Up Leave The Liar novel Chapter 316

Chapter 294

On Thursday evening, Ashley and Tim, who had returned from his business trip, went to a banquet together.

As soon as they arrived, she saw Tanya and Catherine.

They clearly saw her too.

Catherine’s face darkened when she saw her, and she snorted, complaining to Tanya, “How is she everywhere?”

Ashley didn’t pay attention to them. After she and Tim chatted with the banquet host for a while, they saw Gabriel walked towards them.

Gabriel had specifically gotten an invitation after learning that she would be attending this banquet.

Tonight, Ashley was wearing a simply cut, black, form-fitting long dress, paired with long, straight black hair. Her whole demeanor seemed cool and aloof, yet also added a hint of mystery, making her very beautiful and eye-catching.

It seemed that every time he saw her at a banquet, she could always make him feel deeply amazed.

He had also been present at the previous two banquets. Seeing him, Ashley wasn’t surprised at all, she just said, “You’re here too?”

Gabriel suppressed the astonishment in his eyes and said,”Mm.”

I heard Dane Turner would also be attending tonight’s banquet.

Dane was a good friend of Mr. Smythe. Their contributions to and fame in AI were quite comparable.

While pursuing her doctorate, Tanya had also met Mr. Turner twice.

She and Mr. Turner weren’t exactly close, but they knew each other.

Upon learning that Mr. Turner had arrived, Tanya stepped forward to greet him,”Mr. Turner, long time no see.”

Mr. Turner nodded slightly.

Seeing that he still remembered her, Tanya smiled and was about to continue speaking to him, but Mr. Turner clearly wasn’t interested in her. Without waiting for her to speak, he turned his head and asked his assistant, “How is it? Are Ashley and Mr. Reed here?”

“Yes, they are.”

Mr. Turner’s eyes immediately lit up. He said to the people who were swarming around to talk to him,”I heard Ashley and Mr. Reed have arrived. Please excuse me for a moment, everyone, enjoy your chat.”

The host of the banquet couldn’t help but tease,”Are you that eager to talk and exchange ideas with Mr. Reed?”

“No, more precisely, compared to Mr. Reed, I’m more interested in Ashley. I think she seems even more formidable.”

After speaking, he quickly greeted the others, then turned and left, walking towards Ashley and Tim.

Being ignored by Mr. Turner to this extent, Tanya’s expression became a bit awkward.

Catherine watched, a bit indignant:”Who is this person? Didn’t they say he was Mr. Smythe’s friend? When he saw you, how could he…”

Tanya composed herself and interrupted her: “Enough.”

Seeing her displeased expression, Catherine also worried about saying too much and making more mistakes, so she dared not speak again.

On the other side, Mr. Turner walked up to Ashley, immediately introduced himself to her, and said, “I’ve read your paper many times; it’s truly fascinating.”

Releasing the hand she had shaken, Ashley said, “Mr. Turner, you’re too kind.”

It hadn’t actually been many days since Ashley’s paper was published, but during these days, organizers of several top Al conferences abroad had invited her to attend, but Ashley had politely declined them all.

Since Ashley wouldn’t go, Mr. Turner had no choice but to fly over himself to see Ashley.

So, upon seeing Ashley now, Mr. Turner began chatting with her non-stop.

Initially, they talked about her paper, then the conversation expanded to other areas of AL

Whether it was discussing Al history or talking about Al development trends, Ashley responded calmly, and when Mr. Turner mentioned who published what paper on which topic in what year, Ashley could immediately pick up the conversation, point out the brilliance of that paper, and, when appropriate, mention two or three related papers, extract their core ideas, and have an in-depth discussion with Mr. Turner.

Ashley and Mr. Turner cited sources extensively and had a lively back-and-forth discussion.

Anyone could see that the more Mr. Turner chatted with Ashley, the more excited and surprised he became, and even during his conversation with Ashley, he discovered some of his own shortcomings.

But this made him feel pleasantly surprised.

He couldn’t help but say, “I was right, Ashley, you are indeed better than me.”

Who was Mr. Turner?

Ashley, at such a young age, possessed such a vast knowledge reserve, and even Mr. Turner himself openly admitted Ashley’s brilliance.

This point truly astonished everyone around who was listening to their conversation.

Only Tim smiled imperceptibly.

Tanya also listened silently from the side.

Catherine’s knowledge was average, so she couldn’t understand what Mr. Turner and Ashley were talking about at all.

Seeing that Mr. Turner and Ashley had been chatting for so long with no sign of ending, she started to feel a bit impatient:”I don’t know what’s so great to talk about, they’ve been chatting for so long and still aren’t done.”

Tanya didn’t speak, but her hand gripping the cup gradually turned white.

Although the current level of AI in Hanoria has caught up significantly, Professor Louis and Professor Russell, among others, also enjoy considerable recognition domestically. However, in terms of actual strength, there’s still quite a gap compared to Mr. Turner, Mr. Smythe, and their peers.

If she thought before that when Ashley attended the Quinlan University symposium, she had really learned something by following Tim, then now… she suddenly didn’t think so anymore.

Because Ashley’s knowledge reserve was simply too strong.

When conversing with Mr. Turner, to possess the ability to suppress the other party, how could that be achieved in less than a year?
