Bi Yu remained calm, casually pulling out her phone. "Her friend must have made the reservation."
"Friend..." The assistant's brows furrowed immediately.
The last time Bi Yu had tried to book this hotel, the quota was completely full, leaving her waiting in vain for half a month before she had to give up reluctantly.
Chi Gui, who had come from Huaxia, was prior to this practically unknown. Could her connections possibly be stronger than Bi Yu's?
There might be some unspoken shady dealings here!
Having been by Bi Yu's side for so many years, the assistant was no stranger to the darker side of the medical field. Many respectable doctors had made unethical deals with high-ranking officials or tycoons for promotions or other benefits.
Although these individuals usually ended up in dire straits due to their lack of competence, the allure of fame and fortune still tempted others to risk it all.
Chi Gui was particularly beautiful, endearing like a porcelain doll, which made it even more effortless, should she want to...
With these thoughts, any good impression the assistant initially had of Chi Gui due to her award faded completely.
After sending Xu Wen and a few others, still excited, back to their hotel, Chi Gui arrived at Holsi Hotel.
Qin Cheng had been waiting there for a while and immediately went to greet Chi Gui's car, respectfully opening the door for her. "Professor Chi, I apologize, but Mr. Fu was delayed by an urgent matter. He asked that you and your friend start your meal."
Chi Gui nodded, "Okay."
Qin Cheng personally escorted Chi Gui to the reserved private room. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel⚑fire.net
The room was on the top floor with a refined and elegant decor, showcasing an oriental classical charm that was clearly very expensive.
Chi Gui seemed surprised. "Is this room expensive?"
Chi Gui had only joined Qin Cheng for lunch or dinner in a room at Fu Si's apartment in the past, never having the need or interest in exploring M country's hotels and restaurants. Furthermore, she had previously been completely immersed in medical studies, paying no attention to these matters.
Though she sensed the exclusivity of the room, she didn't dwell on it.
Qin Cheng chuckled, "It is expensive, but for Mr. Fu, compared to ensuring you have a comfortable experience, money is of no consequence."
After sending Qin Cheng away, Chi Gui texted Bi Yu the room number and then sat down, focusing on an ancient text.
Bi Yu had just alighted from her car and was startled when she saw the room number sent by Chi Gui.
To be able to book the presidential suite at Huoxier Hotel on such short notice... Who exactly was this friend of Chi Gui's?
Bi Yu's assistant felt even more certain of his suspicions, growing increasingly disdainful of Chi Gui.
Bi Yu, however, didn't seem to mind and even joked, "I often see on the internet people wishing for a rich best friend to sponsor them... Does this count as being sponsored by a wealthy friend?"
Bi Yu's assistant: ...
He gave Bi Yu a speechless look.
People generally saw Bi Yu as strong and confident, quick to confront others, but only those who were truly close to her knew...
This trait of hers only manifested professionally, in everyday life she was quite naive...
When they entered the private room, the assistant was on high alert, fearing that Chi Gui might lure his boss away.
To his surprise, as soon as Bi Yu arrived, Chi Gui and she began discussing various medical research issues, exchanging thoughts on the drugs they were currently developing and even helping each other think through some current problems...
Throughout the conversation, Chi Gui did not stray from professional topics.
Bi Yu, on the other hand, became more and more excited, eventually suggesting, "I have a few friends in the medical field, can we invite them too?! Discussing together would surely be more interesting!"
