Her mentor was almost obsessive about getting her to become an Academician.
He still thought about it after half a year.
However, after experiencing so much abroad, Chi Gui’s opposition to it had lessened, and she nodded her head, "All right."
Wu Zhiyuan was still persuading, "Actually, there’s nothing bad about being an Academician. Look at me, my salary has increased, my position is higher, and I receive more respect when I’m out and about. I haven’t had any problems..."
He suddenly paused, then his voice rose several degrees when he spoke again, "What, what did you just say?!"
Chi Gui: "Once I win the award this time, I’ll go back and accept the Academician title bestowed by the country."
This time, Wu Zhiyuan was silent for a long while before he spoke uncertainly, "Did something happen to you abroad? Why did you suddenly want to be an Academician?"
In the past, he had mentioned it so many times only to be selectively ignored by Chi Gui.
He had even prepared several pages of draft papers to persuade Chi Gui this time!
Chi Gui spoke with a slightly heavy voice, "Master."
Wu Zhiyuan: "I understand! Can’t I stop nagging? You should think about the speech you’ll give when you become an Academician. I’m going to apply for you immediately!"
After speaking, as if afraid Chi Gui would change her mind, he hung up the phone with a snap.
After Wu Zhiyuan, Peng Xiao also called to show his concern.
He was the chief judge for the Madam Curie Award this time. Upon seeing the medicine submitted by the Chi Gui Research Institute, he was amazed and couldn’t wait to call Chi Gui to exchange research insights.
Chi Gui was very enthusiastic about exchanging insights with others, and once the two of them started discussing, they talked for three and a half hours straight.
It was only after hanging up the phone that Chi Gui noticed a missed call from the Orlando Family during their conversation.
Because she didn’t answer, Orlando Nielsen sent her a WeChat message: [Professor Chi, did you apply for the Madam Curie Award?]
How did it seem like half the medical community knew she had applied for the award??
Still, Chi Gui replied politely, [Yes, thank you for your concern.]
Orlando Nielsen replied quickly: [My student Donny is one of the judges for this year’s Madam Curie Award. If you need any help, just ask.]
This was already suggesting to Chi Gui that he could help her cheat.
Chi Gui didn’t expect Orlando Nielsen would go so far for her and couldn’t help but feel touched.
She replied earnestly, [I believe that with the strength of me and my team, we are more than capable of winning the Madam Curie Award. Thank you for your kind intentions.]
This confidence of Chi Gui immediately impressed Orlando Nielsen.
He put down his phone, looked at Donny across from him, and sighed slightly, "Every time I talk to Professor Chi, I regret that I can’t bring her into the Orlando Family."
Donny poured a cup of tea for Orlando Nielsen and smiled warmly, "As long as she isn’t part of a family now, she will eventually enter your family."
He was also filled with curiosity about this Huaxia Professor who his teacher spoke so highly of. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs NoveI[F]ire.net
Especially after seeing the drug developed by this professor and her team, his curiosity peaked.
Anyone who could develop such a drug, breaking nearly a thirty-year standstill in the field of neurosurgery, must be quite extraordinary.
Just then, his phone rang.
Donny took it out and looked at it, then stood up, "Teacher, Mr. You’s assistant is looking for me for something, I’m going to step away for a moment."
