Chapter 580

Xu Yan was 35 years old this year, around the same age as Hou Jingjing.

Since childhood, Xu Yan had been the top academic prodigy among the three prestigious families.

At the age of 16, she was admitted to the optoelectronics program at the best domestic university, Huajing University, as a key trainee.

Eight years later, at the age of 24, she had completed her undergraduate, master's, and doctoral studies, becoming the youngest Ph.D. at Huajing University.

Many domestic and international research institutions offered her opportunities.

However, Xu Mao firmly opposed it.

He did not want his daughter to pursue a career in scientific research.

Forcing her to become a civil servant and follow the path of politics.

Xu Yan did as she was told.

That year, at the age of 26, she began working at the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Facing the sordid politics of officialdom, Xu Yan was very unhappy.
