By this time, the other researchers also understood that there had been a huge misunderstanding.
A few of them walked in front of Chi Gui, bowed their heads, and apologized.
The researcher who had led the trouble also wanted to apologize to Chi Gui, but was stopped by Peng Xiao: "Professor Yuan, you don’t need to apologize."
Professor Yuan was stunned, turned his head in confusion, and then heard Peng Xiao say, "Since staying under Professor Chi’s leadership is so grievous for you, I won’t force you. Go and find a research institute and a supervisor to your liking."
That statement made Professor Yuan’s eyes widen in surprise.
In the entire medical circle, Peng Xiao’s research institute was already considered top-notch; she had struggled tremendously just to get in initially.
Even if there really were bigger and better research institutes than Peng Xiao’s, she might not have the ability to get in!
Professor Yuan wanted to say something more, but Peng Xiao had already instructed the others to get back to work, and then entered the office with Chi Gui and Wen Ruan.
She was completely deprived of any opportunity to speak.
One of the researchers who had been following Chi Gui came over, looked at her, and sighed, "We just needed to complete this stage of the experiment, and then we would directly qualify to participate in Academician Peng’s next research project. Why couldn’t you see the bigger picture?"
Professor Yuan’s face turned deathly pale.

Peng Xiao discussed the results of the training class’s punishment with Chi Gui.
Then, he expressed his sentiment, "That young friend of yours, Miranda, is quite a good person. If she is capable enough, I might make an exception and let her attend this year’s C-level member training."
The International Medical Alliance conducts three levels of training each year: D-level, C-level, and B-level.
Each level of training allows participants to advance to a higher level through a final evaluation.
However, to participate in the B-level training assessment, one must first have significant honors or contributions in the medical field, making the number of members who can take part in the B-level assessment each year very limited.
Ordinary members can only attend one level of training each year, and even if they are capable enough, they must wait until next year to compete for a spot in order to continue with the corresponding training.
Peng Xiao’s decision to let Miranda participate in this year’s C-level member training assessment was as if he was making an exception on Chi Gui’s behalf, essentially giving her a backdoor entry.
Chi Gui thought for a moment and realized that this was a great opportunity for Miranda, so she nodded, "I’ll ask her."
Peng Xiao said, "I’ll have my assistant bring the C-level training qualification certificate to you later. If she agrees, just hand it to her."
After discussing business, Peng Xiao and Chi Gui also talked about the progress of the institute’s projects, before he stood up and left.
Half an hour later, his assistant brought the C-level training qualification certificate to Chi Gui.
The certificate was already stamped and had Miranda’s name written on it; Chi Gui just had to give it to her.
Wen Ruan looked at the certificate, smiled enviously, and said, "It must be really nice to be friends with Professor Chi!"
His words were not meant as flattery but as genuine envy of Chi Gui’s friend.
Even Miranda, a minor D-level ordinary member, because of her good relationship with Chi Gui, directly received special treatment from Peng Xiao.
And this was just one of Chi Gui’s extensive network connections.
What about people in even higher positions?
What if... it were him?
At that thought, Wen Ruan’s peachy eyes slightly twinkled, he slightly bent forward, his voice clear and enticing as if carrying endless allure, "I also wish to be friends with Professor Chi, to help each other... I wonder if Professor Chi would be willing?"
Chi Gui didn’t even lift her head: "Not interested. There’s nothing I need your help with."
