Soon, amidst the small medical teams that were continuously arriving, Xu Wen spotted the team led by Shi Liyun.
Shi Liyun was clearly dressed to the nines, walking at the forefront alongside Xue Mingqing, with six or seven people following them.
Xu Wen whispered to Chi Gui, âSister Chi, Academician Shi and her team have also arrived.â
As he spoke, Shi Liyun also noticed Chi Gui and her companions.
She lowered her eyes and whispered something to Xue Mingqing, who then led his team toward where Chi Gui was.
Xue Mingqing was an elder expert from the Expert Group, the same age as Wu Zhiyuan, and considered a senior to Chi Gui and her companions.
As he approached, Chi Gui promptly stood up and greeted him politely, âSenior Xue.â
Xu Wen and the others also stood up and proactively greeted Xue Mingqing.
Xue Mingqing nodded with a smile and looked around, âTodayâs award ceremony is attended by elites from various countries. Whether or not you win an award, getting to know some other people is always beneficial for a new team! Professor Chi, donât you think so?â
Hearing this, Xu Wen and the others behind Chi Gui couldnât help but frown.
As everyone knew, Chi Guiâs research institute was established just a year ago, and their first research project was the drug they submitted for the competitionâa truly new team.
The implication behind Xue Mingqingâs words was quite clear.
Xu Wen couldnât help but glance at Chi Gui.
But it seemed as if Chi Gui hadnât caught the implication in Xue Mingqingâs words at all; she simply nodded with a smile, âYou are right. However, if you want Professor Shi to meet other people, sitting here wonât quite work.â
She pointed to a rather secluded corner on the left, âYou should sit there. Thatâs the exit of the whole venue, and every team has to pass by there. You can greet anyone you want to then.â
That corner was a gathering place for small teams that hadnât even been nominated; Chi Guiâs counterstrike was gentle yet firm, returning Xue Mingqingâs insinuation adeptly!
Shi Liyun couldnât hold back and spoke up, âIf that spot is so great, why donât you and your team sit there, Professor Chi?â
Chi Gui calmly replied, âWe won the first prize. People naturally come to us to make connections, sitting so far away would make it hard for others to find us.â

Shi Liyun was immediately amused by her haughty and arrogant words!
Even Xue Mingqing couldnât help but laugh sarcastically!
Even the world-famous research team âSalvation,â which had once made a centuryâs worth of revolutionary changes to MRI equipment, advancing medical diagnostics by a hundred years, wouldnât dare to be so confident about winning the first place in the Madam Curie Award!
âHaving such a confident student must be very comforting for Academician Wu!â Xue Mingqing said sarcastically.
Before he had even finished speaking, a small stir suddenly swept through the entire venue.
Chi Gui, along with Xue Mingqing, Shi Liyun, and others, turned their heads to look, only to see You Junyao and a woman in her fifties wearing a white lab coat, black framed glasses, and a very serious expression walking shoulder to shoulder into the venue.
Seeing the newcomers, everyone exclaimed in surprise.
âIsnât that Wen Yan, the Medical Scholar from Youâs Research Institute? Iâve heard she never attends any award ceremony and is solely dedicated to her research. Over the years, although she hasnât produced any major research, sheâs from the Wen Family of H country, and her status in the medical field is incredibly high!â
âThe man by her side is Mr. You Junyao, the chairman of You Group, right?â another person exclaimed, âIt seems that the research institutes under You Group are very likely to win the first prize this time! Otherwise, he wouldnât personally attend!â
