Chapter 382
Linda looked smugly at Celeste.
Lilian also felt genuinely happy for her daughter.
Celeste, as usual, couldn’t even be bothered to look in their direction.
She quietly lowered her head and sipped her tea, blending into the background, not participating in the discussion between Wynn and Rodney at all.
Seeing Wynn receiving so much admiration from all these seasoned experts, Jorge finally felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
Just then, Cayden sent another message to Wynn.
“YodaVision is a truly astonishing and innovative company. Not only is its founder Matthias, but many of the engineers under him are highly creative.
“I’ll likely visit again soon. I hope to have an in–depth conversation with Matthias and some of his engineers.”
The NMI journal adopted a strict double–blind review process, where reviewers couldn’t see the identities of the authors. So until now, Cayden had no idea who had actually written the paper he was so impressed with.
Wynn saw his message and assumed he was still regretting not having had a chance for a deeper conversation with Matthias the last time they met.
She was just about to type a warm, consoling reply when Rodney turned to one of his students and said, “You couldn’t resist, huh? Had to go check out the paper already?”
“Yes!” the student replied excitedly.
“The core of this paper improves large model long–text processing efficiency by over tenfold! Tons of top engineers overseas are reading it overnight.
“It’s already made huge waves internationally, and it’s trending on the hot search here in Ceravelle too. What’s more, this paper was published by the YodaVision team!”
Wynn froze, her fingers pausing mid–reply. Slowly, she looked up toward Matthias.
Everyone else in the room turned to look at him as well.
Lilian and the others from the Shaw family all frowned at the news.
Such an impressive research achievement, and it turned out to be from Matthias‘ team?
But then again, with Matthias‘ capabilities, it wasn’t exactly shocking that his company could produce something
like this.
Still, knowing that he was now siding with Celeste and effectively standing on the opposite side of their family, it was hard to feel good about it.
To make matters worse, the very paper Wynn’s advisor had just praised turned out to be from Matthias‘ team. That made it even harder to swallow.
Rodney, however, looked genuinely pleased.
He turned to Matthias and said warmly, “Mr. Yoder, leading another team to such results. Congratulations!”
But Matthias simply smiled and said, “You give me too much credit, Professor Milford. I wasn’t the first author.

This latest breakthrough wasn’t led by me. I just helped iron out a few minor technicalities.”
“You only helped with the details?” Rodney’s student still had the author list open on his phone. He leaned over and glanced at it. Sure enough, Matthias wasn’t listed as the first author.
Instead, it was someone named Celeste Rodriguez. Not just that–the corresponding author was also the same
person. 3
Matthias was only the second author.
The third, fourth, and following authors seemed to be YodaVision engineers too, as all affiliations were listed under YodaVision.
Seeing this, Rodney squinted at the name and read it out slowly, “First author is Rodriguez?”
Hearing that, Wynn, Jorge, Miles, and the members of the Lockets and the Shaws all paused in stunned silence.
It was already known that the paper had been published by the YodaVision team. And Celeste just so happened to be with YodaVision.
Could it be-
No way.
How could it be her?
But right then, Matthias spoke up calmly, “Yes, it’s Celeste Rodriguez.” (4)
