For a moment, no matter whether they had been nominated or not, many medical teams swarmed to greet You Junyao and Wen Yan.
After all, the You Group was a famously huge financial conglomerate in Country Y!
Even if You Junyao was willing to let some money slip through his fingers to invest in their teams' research funds, it would be enough to keep them at ease for a year or two!
Meanwhile, the various reporters and cameramen invited by the You Group had already taken their positions, waiting for You Junyao and Wen Yan to arrive before focusing their cameras on them from all angles, capturing the scene where the two were surrounded and praised by everyone.
After finishing, they pointed their cameras at Chi Gui's team, capturing the scene of her team being coldly ignored for later comparison.
Chi Gui noticed these cameras that didn't belong to the venue and slightly furrowed her brow.
Xue Mingqing and Shi Liyun also took the first opportunity to greet You Junyao and Wen Yan.
Hearing that Xue Mingqing and Shi Liyun were from Huaxia, a dark gleam flashed across You Junyao's eyes as he chuckled, "I have a special admiration for elite Huaxia medical scholars. Leave your contact information, and after the award ceremony, let's discuss investing in research projects!"
Xue Mingqing and Shi Liyun couldn't believe their luck, having earned the appreciation of this business magnate from Country Y just after a few words!
Overjoyed, Xue Mingqing and Shi Liyun eagerly left their contact information and praised You Junyao several times before returning excitedly.
Seeing that Chi Gui and Xu Wen were still calmly sitting, with no intention of going forward to greet You Junyao and Wen Yan, Shi Liyun couldn't help but brag, "Professor Chi, aren't you going to greet Mr. You? It seems Mr. You particularly appreciates Huaxia people! My master and I just declared our nationality, and he agreed to invest in our institute!"
Though Xue Mingqing's institute also received a sizeable grant from the country every year,
getting investment from a foreign investor was different.
This had an immeasurable impact on the institute's development on a global scale!
After Shi Liyun finished speaking, she couldn't help but look forward excitedly, hoping for the day when her and her master's institute would make a name for itself worldwide, by which time Chi Gui would have no chance of catching up, even if she tried.
Chi Gui, after hearing Shi Liyun's words, showed no signs of envy or any emotion, remaining indifferent.
She glanced nonchalantly in the direction of You Junyao, thought for a moment, and still reminded out of a sense of national fellowship, "I advise you not to take his investment."
She had not only offended You Junyao at the club's racetrack but had also injured him, completely embarrassing him.
You Junyao had never had a good impression of Huaxia people before, so how could he possibly have a good impression now?
Shi Liyun completely dismissed Chi Gui's words, scoffing, "Just be jealous!" Chapters first released on noᴠelfire.net
With that, she linked arms with Xue Mingqing and sat down next to You Junyao and Wen Yan's team.
It may or may not have been a coincidence, but You Junyao and Wen Yan's team was sitting right next to Chi Gui's team, with just an aisle separating You Junyao and Chi Gui.
You Junyao turned his head to look at Chi Gui, his gaze grim.
Chi Gui did not even glance sideways.
At that moment, a staff member approached and whispered to Chi Gui, "Professor Chi, Academician Peng is looking for you backstage."
When she heard that it was Peng Xiao looking for her, Chi Gui nodded, briefly spoke to Xu Wen, and followed the staff member backstage.
