Accidentally Married to the Big Shot Chapter 163: Is He Seriously Injured?

Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Is He Seriously Injured?

The lady had just finished speaking when a crisp voice ca through, “Sorry to keep everyone waiting, there was a bit of a traffic jam on the road.”

Then the girl who had been receiving guests at the door ca in with a smile and introduced, “Everyone, this is Mr. Bai Anzhi, the investor of the De Xin Traditional Chinese dicine Research Institute.”

A group of Traditional Chinese dicine practitioners hurried to welco him with smiles and applause.

Bai Anzhi walked to the main seat, greeted everyone with a smile, and finally, his gaze landed on Su ixi.

“What a coincidence to see a fellow townsman and old friend.”

Su ixi nodded back at him with a smile.

Bai Anzhi only joked for a mont before getting down to business.

His true objective was indeed to gather more Traditional Chinese dicine practitioners for his institute. He wasn’t poaching them; the doctors could still do their own work. It was more about collaborating during their free ti on various fields of research, essentially integrating resources.

Those interested in joining could sign a contract, and if the projects they researched were successful, they would get a share of the profits. It wouldn’t conflict with their primary jobs, and they could freelance.

Since Su ixi was representing Dr. Lu, she was also taking serious notes.

She found that Bai Anzhi had a certain charisma. He didn’t put on airs when working, was very easygoing, and seed to lack a certain imposing presence until he deftly addressed matters of principle with humor.

So of the female doctors quite liked him.

One female doctor, in her forties, even wanted to set him up with soone, asking if he was married.

He said he was currently single, planning to consider dating only once the institute was on the right track.

It was really just an excuse.

Even if the institute turned a profit, compared to the earnings of the companies in Feng City, it was a re drop in the ocean.

Seeing that he wasn’t interested in dating, the female doctor didn’t pursue the matter further.

After the eting, Bai Anzhi played host and treated everyone to a al at a tea house, serving specialties from Hu City.

Generally, Su ixi didn’t care to post on her social network, but today’s dishes were beautifully presented, with exquisite plating like works of art. Seeing others taking photos and sharing them, she too snapped a few nice ones and posted them with the caption: “Hu City specialties.”

Before long, her post garnered quite a few likes.

Zhou Yuan said that she had also dined there and agreed the food was indeed good.

Weina asked whether such delicate portions could be filling.

Li Pingping posted a cryptic emoticon, and that’s when Su ixi rembered she’d forgotten to block her. She quickly set her privacy settings to do just that.

As soon as she finished, she received a ssage.

It was Professor Chen.

Back in Guang City, Professor Chen had worked with her on insomnia and had ntored her.

Afterward, due to Gu Wei’s mysterious recovery from insomnia and her departure to the border, their contact had lessened.

Professor Chen opened with, “Did you go to the conference?”

Su ixi was surprised, “Yes, is Professor Chen in Hu City too?”

Otherwise, how would he know about her attending the eting?

Professor Chen replied, “I’m currently an advisor at Mr. Bai’s institute.”

That explained it.

Su ixi said, “Then I’ll have to visit you when I have ti.”

“You have ti today, don’t you? You could co to the institute for a visit; I’m here.”

Su ixi: “…”

…

Su ixi needed directions to the institute, so she reluctantly explained her situation to Bai Anzhi.

Hearing this, Bai Anzhi laughed triumphantly, “I knew we were fated to et. At first, when I asked you to join the institute, you refused, but now, fate has pushed you towards us.”

Su ixi said, “I’m just going to visit Professor Chen, not the institute itself.”

“We’ll see after you visit,” Bai Anzhi smiled and went to get the car.

Wealthy CEOs often have chauffeurs and assistants, but Bai Anzhi preferred driving himself. In Hu City, he rode around in his yellow convertible sports car, rumbling down the streets. Thankfully it was May and the weather wasn’t cold, but it still tousled Su ixi’s hair into a ss.

Fortunately, her hair was manageable, and a simple combing restored it to order.

Bai Anzhi brought Su ixi to his Traditional Chinese dicine Research Institute, a three-story building located near a park with exquisite exterior design. Once inside, there was the comforting scent of Chinese herbs.

Su ixi was imdiately drawn to the various projects inside.

Traditional Chinese dicine, having been inherited in Hua Xia for thousands of years, faced severe marginalization by the influx of Western dicine during the mid-Republic era. Renowned individuals returning from abroad severely criticized Traditional Chinese dicine, and many hereditary doctors were forced to change occupation, resorting to reading fortunes instead.

Traditional Chinese dicine is factional, not omniscient. So hereditary skills are specialized in treating indigestion in children, so specialize in kidney stones, so are masters of gynecology, so treat internal ailnts, others specialize in bone-setting or treating venomous snake bites…

Bai Anzhi’s institute had many rooms, each marked with signs such as the Pediatrics Research Room, Gynecology Research Room, Massage Room, Internal dicine Room… Staff mbers were enthusiastically discussing their research within these rooms.

Su ixi loved the working environnt here.

Seeing how fascinated she was, Bai Anzhi resisted urging her; he just smiled inwardly.

He took her to Professor Chen’s office.

Professor Chen was researching the treatnt of neurological issues in Chinese dicine, including insomnia, pain managent, detox, and more.

He was as serious and strict as ever.

But the fact that he received Su ixi indicated his high regard for her. His office had a tea set ready, and he brewed so tea, chatting with Su ixi about her work.

“You’re here for further training?” inquired Professor Chen.

“Yes, at Xin Ren Hospital.”

“How do you find it?”

“It’s very good. I feel like everything is better here compared to the hospital I was at before.”

Professor Chen said, “I asked you to stay in Guang City, but you refused. After your training, I assu you’ll return to Feng City?”

Su ixi nodded, “After all, Feng City provided with this training opportunity. I need to repay the hospital for what I’ve learned.”

Plus, her and Gu Wei’s families were in Feng City.

Professor Chen looked at her admiringly.

“Well, while you’re here, you can co to this institute. You can help with so projects, sort out so data. Is that okay?”

Professor Chen still rembered that Su ixi was a diligent student who could spend entire nights at the library, finding detailed information for her research.

Having no particular commitnts after work, Su ixi agreed.

Professor Chen added, “I also occasionally need to visit Xin Ren Hospital. A very important person has been injured, and I am part of the expert consultation panel.”

“A VIP?” Su ixi was curious about the identity of this important figure.

Professor Chen explained, “I don’t know his exact status, but to mobilize so many experts for a consultation, he must be an important figure. He’s also quite young, appears to be a military officer by his build.”

“Is his injury serious?” Su ixi inquired.
