Donny walked to the door, paused as if remembering something, and turned back to ask respectfully, "Teacher, do you know what Professor Chi likes?"
This time at the Madam Curie Award ceremony, he was expected to formally meet Professor Chi, who was especially valued by his teacher. He had to prepare a suitable gift for their meeting.
Orlando Nelson’s tea-drinking paused as he pondered, "Given Professor Chi’s role alongside Academician Peng and his capabilities, he likely lacks nothing. If you really want to give something, consider an ancient medical text from olden times."
Donny was slightly taken aback.
Ancient medical texts were treasures of the highest order for any person studying medicine or from a medical family!
To his knowledge, many global medical families, even those that had not produced a capable medical scholar for decades, were still ranked among the top hundred medical families simply by virtue of possessing classic medical texts in their collections.
Such precious medical texts, yet for Orlando Nelson, they were merely suitable as a gift to Professor Chi...
Donny bowed slightly, "I understand."
He left the study, carefully closing the door behind him, his gaze deepening a shade as he looked ahead.
After all, he had underestimated Professor Chi and her significance in Orlando Nelson’s heart!
When Donny arrived at the restaurant private room reserved by Assistant Lin, Assistant Lin was already there.
Seeing Donny, Assistant Lin quickly stood up, greeting him with a hint of respect, "Mr. Tang, you’ve arrived. Please, have a seat!"
Donny’s demeanor was somewhat cool as he naturally took the seat of honor, "What’s the matter?"
Although the You family had deep medical collaborations with the Orlando Family, in terms of status, the You family was merely a family of merchants and could not compare to the Orlando Family, with their centuries-long medical heritage. Read complete version only at novelFɪre.net
Even though Donny was not a member of the Orlando Family, as the chief disciple of the family patriarch, his external status was naturally high.
Assistant Lin took the initiative to pour Donny a glass of red wine and then carefully took out an exquisite gift box from his bag and pushed it towards Donny.
Assistant Lin said with a sycophantic smile, "Mr. Tang, this is a small token of my master’s regard for you. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other, please don’t be too courteous!"
Donny took the box with a serene expression, opened it, and saw an ancient medical text lying quietly inside.
His eyes brightened, and he carefully lifted the medical text, gently flipping through a couple of pages.
The cover of the medical text was half missing, and the text inside was interspersed with ancient characters dating back thousands of years, obscure and difficult to understand.
But having studied under Nielsen and seen many ancient medical texts, Donny could tell at a glance that this was the real deal!
"Mr. You is truly too kind," Donny said with a slight smile on his face for the first time.
If he could present this ancient text to Professor Chi, she would surely be delighted.
Then, Donny carefully put the medical text back into the box before looking up at Assistant Lin, "What did you want to see me about?"
Assistant Lin, seeing that Donny was pleased, relaxed, and with a smile said, "Well, there’s a small medical research team from Huaxia participating in the Madam Curie Award this time that has offended Mr. You. We were hoping you might keep an eye on them during the selection process..."
Donny understood Assistant Lin’s hint and raised an eyebrow, "Which team?"
Assistant Lin replied with a smile, "The Gui Ling medical research team."
