At A University, Zhu Yuan answered a call. The person on the other end of the line had said something that made him chuckle quietly. “You guys will be set up as a research team when you come back. As for them, don’t let a single one of them into the team.”

Zhu Yuan laughed mockingly after hanging up. He had specially sent someone to invite guests over from the international organization and yet they were unwilling to even dispatch a single personnel to attend the conference. If that’s the case, then he had no other choice but to build up his research team with his fellow Chinese comrades.

He hoped that they wouldn’t regret their foolish decision of opting out of this golden opportunity.

Zhu Yuan: You must attend the press conference tomorrow.

For A Millenium: You scared of being along?

For A Millenium: Little baby, if you’re that scared, go to Professor Jiang. He’ll take good care of you.

Zhu Yuan: Let’s talk nicely, alright Grandma Gu? ~(>_<)~

Zhu Yuan: The press conference tomorrow is incredibly important. We’re talking about a new scientific breakthrough for the international medical community here. You absolutely must make an appearance there.

For A Millenium: It’s not that big of a deal. I believe in you little baby.

Zhu Yuan: Truth be told, there are a bunch of stuff I don’t understand well in the process. I was hoping that you would explain and give courage to our fellow Chinese medical personnel. They really need it.

Gu Xiqiao stared blankly into empty space after reading that line. Her finger kept sliding up and down the screen of her phone. Zhu Yuan’s words, “they really need it”, truly touched her heart.

Wasn’t this the main reason why she chose medicine? To save the lives of others?

For A Millenium: Address.

Zhu Yuan, who was still in A University, responded one second later with the location of where tomorrow’s press conference was going to be held. Fearing that Gu Xiqiao would change her mind and turn it down last minute, he switched his phone off.

Gu Xiqiao on the other hand, was still staring at her phone. He hadn’t told her what the sequence was for tomorrow’s event.

“Stop zoning out,” reminded Jiang Shuxuan while looking down at the plate of fruits that were becoming discolored due to being left out too long. He set the glass of milk he was holding down onto the table before urging her, “Eat up.”

“Oh.” Gu Xiqiao picked up the glass of milk.

Jiang Shuxuan stole a glance at her before heading upstairs. “I’m gonna go take a shower…don’t play with Haha while eating your apples alright?” Although the dog was visibly clean, its body was still a breeding ground for unknown pathogens.

Haha, who was indirectly roasted went silent.

In the study room upstairs, Jiang Shuxuan dialed the number whose call he rejected just now. On the other end of the line was a young man’s voice. His Chinese accent sounded weird, exposing him as a foreigner. “I heard you were planning to push the Baili family up?”

“More or less.” Jiang Shuxuan lit up a cigarette and sucked in a lungful of smoke. That thing that Gu Xiqiao gave him enabled the Baili family to do so with unrivaled speed.

After Baili Qu’s recovery from his mysterious illness, the Baili family was soon to become another family who possessed a ferocious legacy.

“They really are lucky aren’t they? I hope to see Bai Libin’s name in particular on the International Ranking List this year.” There was anticipation in that man’s voice.
