Chapter 209: Chapter 208: No Need to See You Out

Xia Yong suddenly looked up.

Cao Yan pushed his glasses up but didn’t say anything else, just said, “Next, let’s discuss the following itinerary, then you can rest for a day, and we’ll officially begin cooperation tomorrow, how does that sound?”

Xia Yong nodded, “Okay…”

He had been too shocked just moments before, but once he regained his wits, he felt it wasn’t a big deal.

Since Tenggui Group had chosen to cooperate with him, it was normal to conduct a basic investigation of the collaborator.

Cao Yan was not a man of many words, but every sentence he spoke hit the nail on the head.

In just half an hour, they had settled everything.

When Xia Yong left the hotel, he couldn’t help but sigh, “It’s no wonder they’re from Tenggui Group, their work efficiency is so high… I almost couldn’t keep up with his train of thought.”

“You’re not any worse than them,” Xia Yong’s wife said with a smile, patting his shoulder. “I believe that through the cooperation with Tenggui Group, you’ll be able to take off again! We should really thank Chi Gui, without her, you wouldn’t have had the chance to stand at the peak again!”

“Yes…” Xia Yong sighed softly.

He took out his phone, eager to call Chi Gui to express his gratitude.

Chi Gui’s side was very quiet, and upon hearing his words, she replied calmly and politely, “No need to thank me. I took your gift, so naturally, I had to deliver the bid document for you. I was only responsible for delivering it; being selected was because you wrote it well.”

Hearing her say that, Xia Yong and his wife both realized that Chi Gui must have overheard them that day.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yong half-jokingly looked at the person beside him, “Back then you felt sorry for me for giving those few bottles of supplements to Chi Gui, are you still feeling sorry now?”

Xia Yong’s wife: …

Sorry?

She was just grateful that she hadn’t done anything unnecessary at the time!

At this moment, Chi Gui was sitting on the sofa in her room, while Edmond was sitting on the other side, properly pouring the brewed black tea into her cup.

“Professor, this is our country’s most famous black tea. You’ve always loved tea, try it and see if it suits your taste,” Edmond said with a smile, tactfully not asking about the phone call Chi Gui had just received.

Since their last meeting at Old Sir Jin’s house, Edmond had wanted to personally visit Chi Gui.

But Chi Gui had been very busy recently, and he had finally found the time to come over today.

Chi Gui picked up the tea and took a gentle sip, her eyes lighting up, “Delicious.”

Edmond’s smile widened, and he took out three large tins from the big backpack behind him, placing them on the table, “For you!”

The tins were somewhat heavy, making a “thud” when placed on the table.

Chi Gui: …

That’s not necessary.

Both of them were top figures in the field of neurodegenerative diseases, people who treated work as gossip and discussed it eagerly; even now their conversation couldn’t stray from encountering various difficult cases.

When Chu Jia and Yi Rui came back from the practice field and pushed the door open, what they saw was Chi Gui and a tall, blond, and blue-eyed foreigner sitting on each side, leisurely sipping tea and discussing in a relaxed manner topics like “if you cut the wrong blood vessel in the brain, blood will spray directly onto the ceiling,” “last time when opening the head of a patient infected with parasites, it was crawling with worms,” and other heavy topics.

Chu Jia, Yi Rui: ??

Seeing the two return, Chi Gui gently placed her cup on the table and said to Edmond, “It’s time to have dinner, be careful when you leave.”

Edmond: ?
