After Fu Si finished speaking, he realized he had let something slip, but he was thick-skinned and didn’t feel embarrassed. He just smiled and opened the passenger door, "Get in. I guarantee a more comfortable ride than your driver."
With no other option, Chi Gui had to get into Fu Si’s car.
Fu Si asked again, "Where to?"
Chi Gui looked down to fasten her seatbelt, "The research institute."
Fu Si’s eyes lifted in a hint of surprise, but he said nothing. His long fingers spun the steering wheel, driving out of the hospital.
Upon reaching the research institute, Chi Gui went straight to the work area in the back to get busy.
Fu Si very consciously took a seat in the same place he did last time and waited for her.
Xu Wen, who had just finished his tasks, came over respectfully to pour a cup of coffee for Fu Si and then prepared to sit in a corner far from him to rest.
Just as he took a step, Fu Si suddenly asked, "How are the conditions here at the institute? Is there anything you think needs improvement?"
Xu Wen’s hackles rose in an instant.
Why was the big BOSS asking this out of the blue? Did he make a face that led Mr. Fu to misunderstand something?
Xu Wen quickly replied, "No, no! I’m very happy here, not dissatisfied at all! Really!"
Fu Sifeng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced at him, his long fingers patting the couch beside him, "What are you standing for? Sit down."
He could only sit next to Fu Si tentatively.
Fu Si leaned lazily on the couch, sipping his coffee slowly, and spoke leisurely, "Don’t get me wrong. I’m just trying to understand your living conditions and see if there’s anything that needs improvement... like ways to make your work easier..."
If you want to ask about what you can do for Professor Chi, just be direct about it!
He was nearly scared out of his wits!
When it came to matters related to Professor Chi, Xu Wen spoke with much more confidence, "Not to hide anything from you, the resting rooms in our institute for overtime are pretty outdated, the air conditioning is several years old, and the mattresses are hard... Now that Professor Chi is recuperating, she used to sleep there, and we all felt heartache seeing it. Yet, she’s never demanding about this, never asking for improvements..."

Xu Wen rattled off several points in one breath.
The facilities that Old Sir Fu provided for the research institute were basically in sync with global standards except for the living area, which was a bit behind because Chi Gui didn’t care about it. Apart from that, everything else was fine.
And the things Xu Wen mentioned were all regarding aspects where Chi Gui was put at a disadvantage.
Fu Si listened patiently with a smile on his face, growing quite fond of this perceptive young man.
Once Xu Wen finished, Fu Si pulled out his phone, "I’ve noted everything you’ve said~ Let’s add each other on WeChat. If there’s anything you need help with in the future, just message me directly."
With experience from before, Xu Wen instantly understood.
Even though it was just Mr. Fu’s private WeChat, he couldn’t help feeling a bit thrilled—it took him two tries to scan correctly.
While sending the friend request, Xu Wen assured him, "Don’t worry. If Professor Chi needs someone to help with anything, I’ll notify you immediately!"
No matter what, Xu Wen took to heart everything that Fu Si had done for Chi Gui from start to finish.
Additionally, considering the background of Old Fu and the Fu Family, Xu Wen privately thought that only Mr. Fu was truly worthy of Professor Chi.
After adding him, Xu Wen thought for a moment and said, "By the way, Mr. Fu, would you like to join our group chat?"
"Group chat?" Fu Sixiu’s long fingers were busy making a note when he heard this and his eyebrows lifted slightly.
Xu Wen chuckled twice, then looked around to ensure Chi Gui wasn’t around, before he finally spoke—
