Mrs. Fu, previously known as Zheng Xiu, was the youngest daughter of the well-known Zheng Family from the Jewelry Industry in the Capital City.
She was blessed with exceptional talent and had an extraordinary understanding and keen sense for jewelry, which made the pieces she designed during her university days highly sought after by various merchants.
If not for the unexpected, she should have been the brightest rising star in the Jewelry Industry. Unfortunately, twenty-three years ago, at the peak of her glory, a life-threatening car accident severed her career in jewelry—
Due to severe brain damage, she could no longer design those unique, spirited pieces. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel·fire.net
The devastating blow left Mrs. Fu completely disheartened, even leading to a severe case of depression.
To aid in her recovery, Mr. Fu gave up the vast Fu Family business and stayed with her in a small villa on the hillside, where their days were spent crafting calming ceramics and cultivating flowers and vegetables.
After more than twenty years of playing in the mud together, Mrs. Fu gradually began to emerge from the shadows of her past, and three years ago, she started to pay attention to the Jewelry Industry again.
Over the past year, she even began to sketch some jewelry designs from time to time.
Mr. Fu witnessed all of this and, after secretly having one of Mrs. Fu’s latest designs appraised by a jewelry master and giving it considerable thought, he tentatively posed that question.
He could tell Mrs. Fu truly loved jewelry.
Upon hearing about this year’s Jade Appreciation Conference, Mrs. Fu’s eyes subconsciously brightened, but then she shook her head, "Let’s not. Zheng Wen will probably be there... It would be too awkward if I went..."
Mr. Fu wanted to persuade her some more, but considering the situation with the Zheng Family, he said no more.
Chi Gui went to the hospital and submitted the paperwork for his departure. By the time he finished, it was already noon.
The Dean and Han Qingxuan, among others, personally escorted Chi Gui to the hospital’s main entrance.
Just as Chi Gui was about to get into the car, he happened to run into Su Niannian and Zhang Tao returning from outside.
Upon hearing that he was leaving, they insisted on treating him to a meal as a token of thanks.
Scratching her head somewhat embarrassingly, Su Niannian said, "Even though we’d like to treat you to a meal, we can only go to the cafeteria... there’s a surgery at one o’clock... Please make do for now, and when Zhang Tao and I have the time, we’ll treat you properly!"
This was also a sign of goodwill from Su Niannian and Zhang Tao. Although Chi Gui felt it wasn’t necessary, he didn’t decline.
The three of them went to the cafeteria.
During lunchtime, the cafeteria was always crowded.
Chi Gui found an empty seat while Su Niannian and Zhang Tao went to get the food.
Chi Gui’s favorites were few, and both of them remembered well, so they didn’t need to ask her and got her food directly.
While eating, Chi Gui asked with concern, "What surgery is scheduled for this afternoon?"
With respect, Zhang Tao replied, "A brain and spinal tumor. It’s not particularly difficult, but Niannian and I still lack hands-on experience. Plus, with Professor Han’s two top students also participating, it’s a bit stressful."
Chi Gui raised an eyebrow, "Be confident; they might not be as good as you two right now."
"No way," Zhang Tao said in disbelief, "Although we haven’t led any surgeries these past few days, their theoretical knowledge is very solid. They know a lot just from Professor Han’s questioning; they should be stronger than us."
Chi Gui nodded, "I haven’t taught you the other subjects; naturally, they are stronger there. But in terms of leading a surgery, you two are my proteges, and there will definitely be no problems."
Hearing her say that, Su Niannian and Zhang Tao, who had been anxious all morning, suddenly felt much more confident.
Chi Yan and Su Qing, along with a few other interns, were sitting together.
Chi Gui and the other two sat down, and Chi Yan had noticed them from there.
