Chapter 521: Chapter 520 ???

Chi Gui: ??

She glanced at Miranda and saw her looking as if bracing for battle, which puzzled her. She turned to look towards the door.

Soon, a girl of about twenty-five or twenty-six entered, pushing a luggage trolley.

The girl was dressed in the uniform of the International Medical Alliance, one hand pushing the luggage and the other holding a thick medical textbook. Her appearance was average, but the glasses on her nose lent her a thread of scholarly air.

She appeared calm and tranquil, responding with a slight nod to the greetings from the others in the conference room.

Following the girl were three or four “guards,” both male and female, but their demeanor was uniformly proud, as if they were escorting a queen on an inspection of her territory.

As the girl sat down in the center of the front row, the others in the conference room all gathered around her. Some asked for advice, others eagerly found topics to chat about, and some showered the girl with praises, striving to be noticed.

For a moment, the entire conference room was abuzz, with only Chi Gui and Miranda still sitting in their seats, unmoved.

Chi Gui watched in bewilderment: “What’s that?”

Miranda scoffed, her tone carrying a hint of dismissiveness, “The ‘Queen,’ of course! Her name is Tang Xiao. She scored the highest on the entrance assessment, and a certain A-level member remarked that she has exceptional talent and is destined for greatness. She instantly became famous throughout the D-level zone.”

Chi Gui: “Oh.”

She turned her attention back to her cellphone.

The things she’d said during her interview had been censored by Peng Xiao because they involved “Phoenix.”

As a result, though she had entered the International Medical Alliance, her official performance was at the very bottom…

Seeing that Chi Gui appeared utterly indifferent, Miranda couldn’t help but doubt if she understood the significance of her words within the Medical Alliance.

After all, for a D-level member like Chi Gui, not to recognize the “Queen” of the D-level zone was astoundingly out of touch.

Worried that Chi Gui didn’t understand and might offend the girl in the future, Miranda leaned in and whispered a warning: “During this week’s training, be careful not to provoke her. She has the backing of an A-level member, and with her exceptional talent, she is surely favored by the Alliance’s upper echelons. She’s not someone we minor members can afford to offend.”

Chi Gui looked at the “Queen” surrounded by a crowd of adoring fans: “Oh.”

Miranda grew anxious.

Was this person’s social withdrawal that severe?

Could she respond with nothing but “oh”?

Miranda was about to say more when the crowd around Tang Xiao suddenly erupted into exclaims.

“Tang Xiao, you’ve actually come up with the research formula for the Type A medication for brain nerve diseases? That’s amazing! That’s something only C-level members are supposed to master!”

Within the International Medical Alliance, the gaps between each level were vast.

Just between D-level and C-level, there was as big a gap as between an ordinary member and an Academician.

Not to mention the higher levels.

Thus, it caused such a stir that D-level Tang Xiao had come up with a pharmaceutical formula that C-level medical scholars should understand.

Even Miranda, who evidently wasn’t fond of Tang Xiao, couldn’t help but let out a couple of impressed tsk-tsk sounds.

After her tsk-tsk, she turned her gaze back to Chi Gui.

Seeing that Chi Gui still looked cold and uninterested, Miranda couldn’t help expressing her confusion: “How come you don’t seem envious at all?”

Chi Gui was even more puzzled: “It’s just an ordinary formula. If we were to be envious of even this, it would be all too easy to be envious of others.”

Miranda: ??

Everyone in the conference room: ??
