"This is for you," Xia Yong said, holding a box by the strap and handing it to Chi Gui. "I heard this thing helps enhance memory, which should be very useful for students."
The box was exquisite, not like those sold in the markets, but rather like it was custom-made.
Just by looking at the box, without even seeing what was inside, you could tell it was expensive.
Chi Gui raised her eyebrows but did not refuse, "Then thank you."
"I should be the one thanking you," Xia Yong smiled, said goodbye to them, and drove away.
The three of them returned to their hotel room.
Chi Gui opened the gift box, and Chu Jia and Yi Rui eagerly peered inside.
They saw that the box contained three small glass vials resting on a white velvet cushion.
When they saw the brown pills inside the bottles, Chu Jia and Yi Rui exclaimed at the same time, "These, these are the supplements that were recently developed at the international medical conference, aren’t they? I heard they can significantly improve memory, and now they’re priceless! A single small bottle could cost millions!"
And now, there were three small bottles in a single box!
"Uncle Liu must have had a significant reason for buying this, right?" Chu Jia murmured.
Chi Gui raised her eyebrows and took out a small bottle from the box, pouring out a pill and sniffing it.
It had a refreshing scent mixed with a pleasant smell of herbal medicine.
Her family still had a few small bottles of these pills at home, all sent by Uncle Liu who was in charge of the traditional Chinese medicine research for the expert group.
Chi Gui never expected that Xia Yong would give away something worth three million like that.
She looked at the small bottle in her hand, her eyes deepening.
Chu Jia and Yi Rui looked enviously at the small bottles in the box.
Chi Gui took out two bottles and handed one to each of them, "Here, for you."
Chu Jia and Yi Rui were stunned, their hands fumbling as they held the small bottles, "This, Sister Chi... it’s too valuable..."
"It’s meant to be used," Chi Gui said dismissively, waving her hand, "Perfect timing—the national competition needs knowledge that you could use these pills to help memorize."
Chu Jia still wanted to persuade her, "This medicine is very precious and super effective at enhancing memory, keep some more for yourself."
Hearing her say that, Chi Gui glanced at them both indifferently, "I don’t need it."
Chu Jia and Yi Rui: ?
Once they realized what she meant, tears streamed down their faces.
That was quite a blow!
A day passed quickly.
The next morning at eight, Chi Gui got ready early and left the hotel.
At the hotel entrance, a black Land Rover was parked quietly at the curb, driven by Shen Gu.
Seeing Chi Gui coming out, he hurriedly got out of the car and opened the back door for her.
"Long time no see," Chi Gui greeted Shen Gu.
Shen Gu smiled, "Long time no see."
Since returning to the capital city, Shen Gu wasn’t allowed to show his face in front of other students due to privacy concerns, so Old Sir Shen had assigned other bodyguards. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
Today, since Chi Gui was the only one and the seminar she was attending was very important, Shen Gu resumed his duties as her bodyguard.
The International Medical Conference was held in the capital city’s most famous medical building. By the time Chi Gui arrived, many people were already there.
Among them were foreign medical experts of various skin colors and appearances.
Everyone smiled and greeted Chi Gui as they saw her.
"Today you are scheduled to speak ninth," an attendant said, respectfully handing her a schedule, "This is the agenda for today, please take a look."
Chi Gui took it, "Thank you."
The International Medical Exchange wasn’t just about gathering all medical experts to present their latest research and findings; there were several procedures involved.
As the opening had not yet started, Chi Gui sat in a secluded corner and closed her eyes to rest.
Meanwhile, Fu Si also entered, accompanied by a staff member.
