Chi Gui listened quietly.
When she heard Granny Fu mention that Yao Zhenqing was the vice president of the International Jewelry Association, she asked, "The International Jewelry Association you mentioned, is it located on Kai Road in Country Y?"
"Yes, that’s the one," Granny Fu thought Chi Gui was also interested in it, so she explained in detail about the International Jewelry Association’s status. "The International Jewelry Association is the third-largest alliance, just behind the Medical Alliance and the Racing Alliance. It has a prestigious status. Many of the designers therein even have a say in the politics of their own countries..."
After listening intently to Granny Fu’s explanation, Chi Gui casually asked, "So, anyone who works at the International Jewelry Association can secure good jewelry partnerships?"
"Yes," Granny Fu nodded. "After all, those chosen by the International Jewelry Association are no ordinary people. They are either internationally renowned jewelry designers or renowned appraisers. Besides the top international brands, other jewelers always give them face."
Understanding Granny Fu’s point, Chi Gui felt reassured.
She didn’t say much else and continued talking with Granny Fu for a while before saying her goodbyes and leaving.
Chi Gui had just finished her work at Kyoto City Hospital and had a three-day holiday. She didn’t go anywhere and went straight home.
Fu Si was also busy with jewelry partnerships. After dropping Chi Gui off at her home, he immediately left.
Watching Fu Si’s car drive away, Chi Gui took out her phone and sent a message to someone: "Do you have a good relationship with the International Jewelry Association?"
The other party didn’t reply immediately.
Chi Gui didn’t mind; she put her phone away, took a nap, and when she woke up, she received a reply: "Very good! Why, are you finally thinking about joining the Association? Wait, I’ll recommend you to the president right now! He’s been pestering me ever since he saw your work, constantly asking who you are! He’s been driving me crazy!"
From the lengthy message, she could sense the other person’s excitement.
Chi Gui hurriedly replied, "No, I was just asking."
This time, the reply was instant: "Oh."
The brevity was a stark contrast to the previous excitement. The rightful source is novel-fire.net
Chi Gui didn’t reply again but instead put away her phone and called Academician Wu to inquire about Shi Liyun.
Bringing up this topic, Wu Zhiyuan instantly turned into a fire-breathing dragon. "How dare you ask me? Can’t you be a bit more ambitious like others? When I initially proposed promoting you to Academician, you refused, insisting that a professor’s position was lower but more relaxed! It’s been so many years! Count them! Everyone keeps asking me whether you are dissatisfied with your current position, that’s why you refused being an Academician! I was even embarrassed to tell them the real reason!"
Wu Zhiyuan took a breath and continued, "Now, it’s great. He Lei’s old student not only won the Beiding Ge’er Award but is also about to become an Academician! I have to watch him strut around in front of me every day, and it just burns me up!!"
Chi Gui was silent for a moment before calmly speaking, "Master, please calm down. In fact, Beiding Ge’er invited me to be an award presenter..."
"You definitely refused!" Wu Zhiyuan sighed, approaching it like a negotiation, "Chi Gui, although I have always taught you that fame isn’t important, what’s important is what you can do for the country, for medicine, have you taken it too far? What if we promote you to Academician first? It would at least make your master happy."
