The medical seminar had been underway for about an hour.
Chi Guihe greeted all the prominent figures in the medical field one by one before leaving through the VIP passage.
Xing Gu followed behind her.
After a short walk, Chi Gui paused in her steps.
Xing Gu looked ahead with some confusion and saw Fu Si leaning against the wall not far down the corridor, hands in his pockets, one leg casually bent, with a black suit jacket slung lazily over his arm, and his white shirt immaculately clean, not a speck of dust on it.
He seemed to be resting, his head slightly lowered, his bangs fallen forward, and through his glasses, those usually upturned phoenix eyes were now slightly downcast, innocently adding a sense of youthful serenity.
Feeling someone’s presence, Fu Si looked up slightly and saw Chi Gui. He straightened up, his long middle finger pushing his glasses up, and smiled with a hook of his lips, "Good morning, Chi... Ah, no, I should address you as Professor Chi now, shouldn’t I?"
Xing Gu was startled for a moment, then instinctively stepped in front of Chi Gui.
Chi Gui’s expression was unchanged, calm and indifferent as she looked at Fu Si, "Why are you waiting for me?"
"I’m here to apologize," Fu Si adjusted his glasses and straightened his demeanor, "I was shallow in the past, not having seen the luster of pearls, I thought treasures were as dim as stones. Out of ignorance, I said many things that slandered you. I truly apologize."
Qin Cheng, Xing Gu: !!
Both widened their eyes in unison at Fu Si.
Actually, before Fu Si spoke, both of them had thought that Mr. Fu would act as if nothing had happened and continue to pester Professor Chi, then use some method to gloss over this incident...
After all, with Mr. Fu’s status and position, let alone just speaking behind someone’s back, even if he had insulted someone to their face, how many would dare to hold him accountable?
Or to put it another way, how many people would still seek accountability if they were esteemed by Mr. Fu?
Thus, in the imagination of Xing Gu and Qin Cheng, there was never an option of Mr. Fu personally lowering his head to apologize to someone!
But now, this incredibly shocking scene was unfolding right before their eyes.
However, after hearing Professor Chi’s response, they realized... it was their imaginations that were lacking.
After calmly listening to Fu Si’s apology, Chi Gui spoke lightly, "That’s too serious. Everyone’s impression of others is subjective, and you did nothing wrong. To be honest, before I met you my impression of you included only frivolousness, arrogance, a wicked heart, and not being decent company."
So not a single word was positive.
Qin Cheng, Xing Gu: ...
The two silently gave Professor Chi a thumbs-up.
To hit Mr. Fu’s apology with such hard-hitting words, she was the real tough one!
Fu Si took a moment before recovering his slightly shaken composure, a light laugh escaping as he looked at Chi Gui, "See, neither of us had a good impression of the other, now we’re even. How about we get to know each other anew today?"
Qin Cheng and Xing Gu looked at Fu Si’s gaze, which turned from shock to admiration! Read full story at novel✦fire.net
Despite the piercing words, he could still laugh without a care—no doubt, Mr. Fu was the toughest one!
Even Chi Gui watched Fu Si for a good while.
Normally very well-mannered, she finally couldn’t help but blurt out, "Fu Si, just what is your face made of?"
Fu Si’s smooth talk came readily, "Whatever you would like it to be."
She simply stepped away, walking on.
Fu Si lazily followed behind Chi Gui, just as he had in Nancheng.
One after the other, they left the building where the medical seminar was held.
In the midst of a heavy silence, Fu Si suddenly offered, "By the way, Professor Chi, after meeting me, what do you think of me?"
