Zhao Yuexiu's voice had not yet finished falling. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ N0velFire.ɴet
"Chi Gui?" Suddenly, a slightly dissatisfied voice came from behind everyone, "Why have you only just arrived now?"
Following this voice, an old man with an authoritative air, accompanied by three others, walked quickly over.
Zhao Yuexiu, Chi Yan, and Chi Mingkun all were startled.
The elder's presence was remarkable, dressed in an expensive black suit, commanding respect without anger, clearly not an ordinary person.
He... had a relationship with Chi Gui?
The elder soon came over, not even glancing at the others, but striding directly to Chi Gui, grabbing her arm and pulling her toward a side door, "Do you have no self-awareness at all?! Such an important occasion and you're late!"
Chi Gui looked at Wu Zhiyuan and sincerely said, "Sorry, sorry, the flight was delayed."
"Don't make excuses for me!" Wu Zhiyuan's voice carried anger, "I deliberately checked all the flight times today, and you chose the late flight!"
Chi Gui was silent...
She paused, then pointed behind her, "That one, my brother..."
Without stopping, Wu Zhiyuan quietly gave instructions to someone behind him.
That person came over, with a respectful tone, addressed Chi Mingkun, "Hello, please follow me."
Chi Mingkun watched the natural and skilled exchange between Chi Gui and the elder, stayed silent, and asked no questions, "Okay, thank you for the trouble."
He had always felt that Sister Chi Gui's background must be formidable, but since she never spoke of it, he did not pry.
The man smiled, "Of course."
He led Chi Mingkun toward the small door next to where Chi Gui was.
It was only at this point that Zhao Yuexiu finally came to her senses and could not help but ask, "May I know who that elder was?"
The person leading Chi Mingkun forward did not even turn back.
Zhao Yuexiu pursed her lips.
Chi Yan frowned slightly, feeling that the elder looked familiar yet could not remember where she had seen him.
"He must also be a medical scholar," Chi Yan murmured to Zhao Yuexiu, "But I don't have any impression of him, so he's probably not a big shot. He must have met my sister during her medical studies, and took this good opportunity to invite her here."
To the current Chi Yan, apart from the big shots in the Expert Group, other doctors didn't count as significant.
But the big shots of the Expert Group rarely showed themselves, and she had not seen many to date.
However... if even she did not have the chance to meet those big shots, of course Chi Gui would be even less likely.
Zhao Yuexiu nodded, having no choice but to accept this explanation.
She linked arms with Chi Yan affectionately as they walked towards the venue, while Zhao Yuexiu repeated her cautions, "When you meet the newly appointed Academician later, make sure to perform well and leave a good impression. I've heard that he comes from the Expert Group, and if you can build a connection, you might even join the Expert Group next year!"
Zhao Yuexiu had already repeated this several times while they were at home.
Chi Yan clearly understood the importance of the matter and nodded firmly, "I'll try my best!"
Although with her current status, she had no right to speak to such important figures, the Su Family had arranged through Su Qing for her to seize the opportunity to speak a few words to him as he was leaving to get into his car.
Zhao Yuexiu and Chi Yan returned to their seats.
Appointing an Academician was not a public event, so not many people were present, apart from some big shots of the Expert Group, there were only senior professors from various hospitals in Capital City, and a small group of students, like Chi Yan, brought by the professors to gain experience.
The big shots of the Expert Group each had their own VIP boxes, unseen by Chi Yan, who could only greet the students and professors nearby.
Just then, the Su Family also entered.
Clothed in a silver suit, tall and elegant yet with a cold demeanor, Su Qing walked in at the forefront.
Yin Xiuxiu accompanied him, speaking softly about something.
