The Chi Family, although insignificant in Capital City, was still a highly sought-after cooperation partner in a small county like Jin City.
Chi Changjing frowned, "Don’t say that, that company might not necessarily be Chi Gui’s boyfriend’s..."
"Come on, besides her boyfriend, who else could she know from any company?" Zhao Yuexiu didn’t believe that Chi Gui was particularly capable; it was just that previously, Chi Changjing and Old Sir Su had been suppressing her, so she dared not speak out.
Now that Chi Gui had only secured a small cooperation worth one hundred thousand yuan, it emboldened her: "Let’s not talk about anything else; just think about it for yourself. If she really could know big companies like Tenggui Group, would she only introduce a small business deal worth one hundred thousand yuan to you? Anyway, you are her biological father; introducing such a small deal, doesn’t it embarrass her as well?"
Chi Changjing vaguely felt something was wrong with this statement, but he was so troubled by headaches and had so many problems to solve that he really didn’t want to bother over such trivial matters.
Chi Changjing waved his hand, "Fine, even if this is indeed Chi Gui’s boyfriend’s company, it doesn’t matter. Let her take advantage of this little benefit."
Chi Yan clenched her fingers tightly.
From a young age, she knew that Chi Changjing was a businessman who only cared about profit; whoever was useful to him was cherished in his heart.
Yet what she couldn’t accept was that merely because of those baseless, evidence-lacking issues, Chi Gui had received the affection that she had carefully maintained?
Chi Gui didn’t care about the thoughts of Chi Changjing and others at all. Newest update provided by N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
The next day, after having breakfast, she went straight to the research institute.
About a dozen people, including Xu Wen, were busy in the institute. When they saw Chi Gui, they all stood up straight like students seeing their homeroom teacher: "Professor Chi, good morning!"
Chi Gui: "Good morning."
She greeted along the way and proceeded to the innermost part.
At the deepest part of the institute, there was a huge study room filled with various limited-edition literature and data on researchers’ progress.
There was a small door at the side of the study room, beyond which were various research instruments.
After injuring her hand, although Chi Gui stopped seeing patients at the hospital, she did not relax her involvement with the research here.
She carefully reviewed the research progress and methods from the past half month, checked the semi-finished drugs in experiments, marked several areas that were off course, corrected each one, and forwarded them to the main personnel responsible for R&D.
Whether for medicine or treatment methods, research usually involved several key personnel constantly meeting to discuss, establish theoretical plans, then gradually attempt and correct any errors based on those plans, going through a lengthy trial and error process before results could be achieved.
Although the research in the institute centered around Chi Gui’s ideas, many details still required collective discussions to be thoroughly addressed.
The whole morning passed in lengthy discussions.
At half-past twelve, Chi Gui put down her pen and looked up at the research personnel sitting on both sides, "Everyone has worked hard, go have lunch. We’ll continue in the afternoon."
"Professor Chi, are you coming to eat with us?" someone asked with a smile, "It feels like the last time we ate together was back in the last century."
Chi Gui was famously very driven; usually, she would just grab a sandwich and quickly eat outside before immediately returning to her study to continue working.
Whether one could eat with Chi Gui or not was how the people in the institute gauged their luck for the day.
Chi Gui’s eyes were still fixed on the papers on the table, and without raising her head, she responded, "I’ll go later."
The others left regretfully.
After a while, Xu Wen cautiously poked his head in, whispering, "Professor Chi, Mr. Fu is here... He asked me to ask you if you want to have lunch?"
Chi Gui looked up, slightly frowning, "How could he enter the research institute?"
This national-level research institute had stringent security, and even staff like Xu Wen had to undergo rigorous checks each day to enter.
Xu Wen coughed embarrassingly, his voice even lower, "Um... Have you forgotten? The Fu Family is the largest investor in our research institute... As the person in charge of the Fu Family, Mr. Fu naturally has the authority to inspect the research progress..."
