"It’s almost midnight," Chi Gui hurriedly said, "No need, I’m not..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Min Yun hastily asked, "As a trade, could you provide me with the list of ingredients for this prescription?"
He had devoted his entire life to studying traditional Chinese medicine and had always been fascinated by these magical ancient prescriptions, but rarely had the chance to come across one.
At this moment, having finally seen a complete version of an ancient medical prescription, he was extremely reluctant to part with it.
Chi Gui was momentarily stunned but soon enough could understand the feelings that Min Yun harbored.
She chuckled softly, "Of course. You can take it whenever you want."
The ancient art of Chinese medicine from Huaxia had always been called one of the most mysterious medical treasures in the world, but due to a major upheaval a century ago, the number of secret traditional Chinese medical techniques and classical manuscripts left in the world was minimal, making each appearance highly valued by the giants of the Chinese medicine community.
With Chi Gui’s agreement, Min Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He did not go home, but instead instructed his assistant to drive him to the research institute, where he prepared the medicine for Chi Gui overnight, and thoughtfully ground the medicinal herbs into granules, making it more convenient for patients to consume at any time.
After completing all this, Min Yun returned to his office, switched on the small lamp on his desk, put on his glasses, and started to carefully study the list of ingredients on the prescription... This content belongs to novᴇlfire.net
The night passed quickly.
The next day was Fu Si’s birthday.
Chi Gui arrived on cue at the hotel in Capital City that the Fu Family had booked.
Old Sir Fu was lavish, having reserved the entire seven-star hotel, with the first floor allocated for the banquet hall, and the floors above for guests to rest, play, or chat.
By the time Chi Gui arrived, most of Old Sir Fu’s invited guests were already there.
Upon seeing Chi Gui, Granny Fu and Mrs. Fu immediately warmly took her into the VIP lounge.
Along the way, Chi Gui noticed that although many people had come, aside from a few close allied families of the Fu Family, and the entire family of Second Uncle Fu, other families had generally only sent their wives or children; the heads of the families were not present.
Chi Gui was puzzled but didn’t ask further, obediently following Mrs. Fu and Granny Fu into the VIP lounge.
Wu Zhiyuan and Min Yun were already sitting inside, and they both smiled amicably, beckoning her to join them.
Noticing that it was only the two of them, Chi Gui slightly raised her eyebrows.
Normally, during such grand events of the Fu Family, the entire Expert Group of medical scholars would attend.
She walked over, greeted the two politely, and sat opposite them on the sofa.
Mrs. Fu and Granny Fu had other guests to attend to, so after bringing Chi Gui in, they left.
It was then that Chi Gui asked, "Master, senior, what’s happening with this banquet?"
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Min Yun’s face, Wu Zhiyuan snorted coldly, "It’s all because of that old man Xue Mingqing. Seeing you return, he hurriedly called back his disciple and even chose today to hold a welcome banquet for Shi Liyun at the Jin Family!"
"Your grandfather Zhou Wei went abroad for a medical seminar and couldn’t come back; the others went over there!"
It was quite normal for them to take leave for no important matters recently at the institute.
What Chi Gui couldn’t understand was, "They all went to Shi Liyun’s side? Why?"
"Isn’t Academician Shi highly regarded by Academician Peng overseas?" Min Yun spoke, resigned, "She’s recently been very prominent and caught Academician Peng’s eye. She’s been working overtime and getting training constantly. Unless something unexpected happens, after completing this research project, she’ll likely be directly promoted to an A-level member of the International Medical Alliance..."
A-level members of the International Medical Alliance... That’s a different world from ours...
If it hadn’t been for the prescription Chi Gui sent last night, he would have chosen to attend Shi Liyun’s welcome banquet too.
A rare look of confusion crossed her face.
