Can't Take My Eyes Off You

It was Cheng Jinyan. Jiang Yao was a little surprised. She thought he might have called because of her pregnancy, so she hesitated to answer it.

Cheng Jinyan represented the Cheng family. She did not know whether he made the call himself or on behalf of someone else.

"Director Jiang, the phone has been ringing for so long. Why aren't you picking it up?" Xiao An asked in confusion. "It's ringing again. They've called twice. Something must be wrong."

Jiang Yao pressed the answer button and said in a slightly muffled voice, "Hello?"

"Did you bring people to the Medical Research Conference?" Cheng Jinyan sounded a little flustered.

"Yes."

Jiang Yao knew that he already knew her answer, but she did not expose him since he did not ask about her baby. However, when he asked about the medical research conference in a strange tone, Jiang Yao felt that it was a little odd.

Cheng Jinyan said, "Take your team and leave the hotel. Withdraw from the conference. Someone has targeted that event. Someone wants to make a fortune from that conference."

"What?"

Jiang Yao's legs, which were about to enter the elevator, froze. She was shocked by Cheng Jinyan's words.

"That's the news that my father just received. It can't be fake. The conference will start tomorrow. Maybe something will happen tomorrow night," Cheng Jinyan said. "You have to think of a way to withdraw from that conference as soon as possible. Don't stay in that hotel."

"I got it."

Jiang Yao believed that Cheng Jinyan would not joke with her about such a serious matter. The Cheng family worked differently than others. The Cheng family's connections and sources of information were different from Lu Xingzhi's. Therefore, they must have had credible sources.

"Director Jiang, who was on the phone? You don't look right," Xiao An asked with concern. She pulled Jiang Yao into the elevator and pressed the button for the third floor.

"It's nothing." She did not dare tell Xiao An and the others because she was afraid they would be scared.

She would not tell her team before they left the hotel. She was afraid that someone would notice something.

The elevator in the high-end hotel was fast and steady. Jiang Yao and the others reached the third floor in just a few seconds.

It was not mealtime yet, but many people were there because of the time difference. It was dinner time for some of them.

The organizer's name was written on the restaurant's door. It appeared that the organizer had reserved the restaurant. The conference participants would have their meals there.

The menu was already fixed due to funding options. After Jiang Yao and the others sat down, the waiter went to get the number of diners. He did not ask them what they wanted to eat but went straight to the tableware. In a short while, the food was served.

When the food was served on the table, Jiang Yao's mood could be said to be both happy and angry.

"Director Jiang, what's wrong?"

Lin Techeng noticed that Jiang Yao's expression was a little strange.

"Did you tell the organizers about my pregnancy?" Jiang Yao asked.

"I did." Lin Techeng nodded. "I called the organizers and told them."

"It seems that most of the dishes contain some type of spice." Xiao An's nose was sharp. "This spice is not suitable for pregnant women, but it is an excellent condiment."

"What?"

Lin Techeng was furious. "The organizers don't take our requests seriously, do they? Or don't they take us seriously at all?"

The organizers and the hotel ordered all of the restaurant's dishes because of the budget issue. Since they had ordered them in advance, logically speaking, they should consider every research institute's requests.
