Chapter 370: Chapter 369: Never Comparable to the Status in the Medical Field

Yuan Rou also smiled and said, “I heard that after Professor Shi Liyun returns from receiving the award, she will be directly promoted to Academician. She’s the first medical scholar in Huaxia to receive the title of Academician at the young age of twenty-three, isn’t she?”

Hearing their conversation, Old Sir Fu’s expression faded slightly, and he remained silent.

Shi Liyun and Chi Gui were about the same age and also on the Expert Group, and people always compared them privately.

In recent years, Chi Gui had become increasingly low-profile, and with his hand injury, while Shi Liyun’s career had soared. Not only did she get the qualification from the International Medical Alliance earlier this year, but she also recently won the Beiding Ge’er Award!

Now many families were beginning to doubt Chi Gui and turn to build relations with Shi Liyun instead.

Of this, Old Sir Fu was naturally aware.

But he was even clearer on what Chi Gui meant to Huaxia and to the medical field.

It wasn’t something that could be measured by any title or award.

Granny Fu, who didn’t understand these things, was surprised upon hearing this and instinctively defended Chi Gui, “Chi Gui will eventually receive these accolades as well. She’s a good kid, no worse than anyone else.”

Hearing Granny Fu say this, Yao Zhenqing and Yuan Rou smiled and smoothly changed the subject.

Granny Fu didn’t understand, but they had made special inquiries.

That award could only be obtained through a significant breakthrough or contribution in the medical field; it wasn’t something just anyone could win.

Yao Zhenqing and Yuan Rou arrived at eleven in the morning and sat for an hour, just in time for lunch.

Granny Fu invited them to stay for lunch, but Yao Zhenqing politely declined, “We’d love to, but there’s a bit of business with the Huaxia Jewelry Association that I need to look into.”

Hearing it was business, Granny Fu and Old Sir Fu didn’t press further and sent Yao Zhenqing and his family off.

As they got into the car, Yaoyu Han noticed that the vehicle wasn’t headed toward the Huaxia Jewelry Association and couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t we going to the Huaxia Jewelry Association?”

“That was an excuse.” Yuan Rou pulled out a mirror to touch up her makeup, speaking indifferently, “We’re going to Old Sir Jin’s house for lunch today.”

“Old Sir Jin?” Yaoyu Han took a moment to realize, then recognized it was one of the Four Great Families of Kyoto, the Jin Family.

She frowned immediately, “Why? Haven’t we always been on good terms with Granny Fu’s family?”

The relationship between the Fu Family and the Jin Family was not good, especially in business—they were arch-rivals. In the past, the Yao Family only visited the Fu Family and never the Jin Family. And today, her parents were deliberately skipping the Fu Family’s lunch to attend the Jin Family’s?

“Professor Shi Liyun is a guest at the Jin Family’s.” Yuan Rou explained patiently, “Once Professor Shi Liyun returns from receiving the award and is promoted to Academician, her status will absolutely surpass that of Professor Chi. We have to take this opportunity while it’s quiet to start a good relationship with the Jin Family and Professor Shi; it will be hard to do so later on.”

Yaoyu Han couldn’t accept it, “Then we just won’t develop a relationship! Isn’t Professor Chi also great? Our family is already a leader in the jewelry industry, why must we cling to medical scholars?”

“Han’er, remember, no matter how developed our jewelry industry is, in Huaxia and the whole international scene, it will never compare to the status of the medical field,” Yao Zhenqing said sternly, “If we can develop a good relationship with a big name in the medical field, it will make it much easier and smoother for our family to expand wherever we want in the future.”

After all, no matter how advanced jewelry is, it is just a luxury pastime, while medicine concerns life and health.

People can live without jewelry, but they absolutely cannot go without medical treatment.

It was this indispensability that granted the medical field the supreme status internationally.

Although Yaoyu Han was reprimanded and still somewhat resentful, she didn’t dare to retort and could only nod unwillingly.

No sooner had the Yao family left than Fu Si and Chi Gui returned to the Fu Family home.
