Chapter 458: Chapter 457 What on Earth Did You Do?

Masey had a tumor in his brain, located in a tricky spot. Although it had not yet turned malignant, he had to undergo surgery every few years to remove it.

Previously, Masey had changed doctors frequently, each only managing to keep him stable for a year or two until he met Chi Gui, with whom he had persisted for three years without any symptoms appearing.

For Masey, there was nothing more important than owing Chi Gui a favor so she would feel embarrassed to reject him in the future.

Chi Gui understood this and did not refuse much, replying, “Okay. If you need me in the future, just let me know.”

After speaking with Masey, Chi Gui switched back to her domestic account and sent a message in her institute’s small group: “The model X equipment will be mailed over in about a week, remember to receive it and if there’s anything you don’t understand, ask me as soon as possible.”

As soon as her message was sent, the group, which had been heatedly discussing the new equipment, suddenly fell silent.

Then came a flood of question marks.

Xu Wen: ??

Xiang Nuan: ?

Other people: ??

Xu Wen: “Did I read that wrong? Is it the same equipment Professor Chi just mentioned?”

Xiang Nuan: “You must be mistaken… It must just be a coincidence…”

The person who just spoke: “Has the medical field gotten this quick at following trends with knock-offs?”

Chi Gui: “It’s the exact equipment you are talking about. I bought the one you wanted, so everyone better work hard. I’ll kick out anyone who drags us down.”

The group fell into a silence once again.

After a long while…

Xu Wen: “Don’t worry, Professor Chi! I’m yours for life! I definitely won’t let you down!”

Xiang Nuan: “Me too!”

Other people: “+Social Security Number!!”

The person who just spoke: “Sorry, I only joined the institute last month, could someone tell me who Professor Chi really is?”

After sending the message, Chi Gui did not look at the trivial messages in the group but instead privately messaged Wu Zhiyuan: “Master, I’ve ordered one of those newly released model X equipment for you. It should arrive in about a week, remember to receive it.”

Wu Zhiyuan, who had just sighed in the group about how hard it was to get that particular model, responded with a question mark.

He read Chi Gui’s message several times, finally convinced he hadn’t read it wrong: “Disciple, how did you manage to buy it?”

Chi Gui was succinct: “I have a friend working at that company who said they still had stock, so he helped me order one.”

Wu Zhiyuan: “…During the years you studied abroad, what exactly did you do? Weren’t you seriously studying?”

How could such equipment possibly be secured just by a “friend” working in the company?

Chi Gui: “I did study seriously.”

After responding, an employee came over to consult her on an issue, so Chi Gui put away her phone and focused deeply on her work.

Inside the International Jewelry Association.

Tang Qi saw Luo Su coming out of the president’s office and couldn’t help but ask, “What did the president say?”

Luo Su was troubled about how to recruit Chi Gui into the Association and casually replied, “The president said the last spot goes to Chi Gui.”

Tang Qi’s eyebrows furrowed deeply, his eyes glaring unhappily at the president’s office door for a long while, but he eventually lacked the courage to go in and confront the president about why he chose to cheat. He left with a flick of his sleeve.

On his way back, he happened to run into Yao Zhenqing.

Knowing that Tang Qi was also one of the examiners for this round, Yao Zhenqing cheerfully invited him for tea.

As the two chatted casually, Tang Qi mentioned the president’s inexplicable partiality.

Yao Zhenqing’s hand paused with his teacup.

He slowly looked up: “Are you saying… the president insisted on giving the last spot to Chi Gui?”
