Chapter 414: Chapter 413: Fast Forward to Kicking Out Anyone Who Doesn’t Work Hard
Peng Xiao’s research institute was located right beside the International Medical Alliance building—a unique three-story building all to himself.
Within the whole International Medical Alliance, only he was accorded such treatment.
Shi Liyun stood in the first-floor hall.
Apart from her, all the other staff members in the institute had also arrived.
Just with a quick glance, Shi Liyun spotted several faces that often graced the front pages of authoritative medical journals. Her fingers clenched tightly around the hem of her skirt as she gazed around with eyes alight with formidable intensity.
Shi Liyun thought excitedly, this place would be her first step in putting a distance between them!
Once she successfully participated in this research project, Chi Gui would be left far behind, only able to see her back from that point forward!
Just then, the people who had been conversing in twos and threes fell silent; everyone turned their heads and looked toward the entrance with respectful eyes, "Academician Peng."
Speaking a uniform Y language.
Hearing that it was the almost legendary Academician Peng, who resided at the pinnacle of the medical community, Shi Liyun suppressed the excitement in her heart and turned her head to greet him reservedly along with the others in Y language, "Academician Peng..."
Before her voice even fell, she saw Chi Gui, who was half a step behind Academician Peng, entering alongside him!
Shi Liyun: ??
Her eyes instantly widened, doubting whether she had seen correctly.
Why would Chi Gui be following behind Academician Peng?
Shi Liyun stood there, dumbstruck, watching as Chi Gui followed in Peng’s wake, approaching the gathered individuals.
Then, she heard Academician Peng’s solemn introduction, "This is Chi Gui, a medical scholar from Huaxia. She is also the lead of this research project. I hope everyone will cooperate with her closely so that we can wrap up this project soon!"
Shi Liyun: ??
It wasn’t just her struggling to accept this; the other research staff also showed disapproving expressions, including some of those researchers she had recognized, who didn’t bother to hide their contempt.
Those who worked in Academician Peng’s institute were elites from various countries, and at the very least, they were named members of the International Medical Alliance, inherently carrying a sense of pride.
Huaxia had always been a weaker country in the field of medicine; internationally, its people had always been looked down upon by other countries.
If this time Academician Peng had introduced the recently internationally acclaimed Shi Liyun, the reactions might not have been so pronounced.
But... Chi Gui?
Who was she?
Had she ever won any international awards or made significant contributions that carried weight?
A little-known Huaxia doctor, what right did she have to direct them?
Chi Gui stood beside Peng Xiao, looking at the clear disdain in the expressions of the dozen or so research staff below, pausing briefly before giving up the idea of a proper greeting.
Peng Xiao saw it too; he frowned and was about to say something.
Chi Gui stopped him, took a slight step forward, then looked calmly and confidently at the others, "I know you all don’t accept me and think I’m not qualified, so..."
She paused.
As Chi Gui spoke, everyone uninterestedly turned their eyes away, blatantly ignoring her.
After all, it was just the same old spiel about working hard to gain everyone’s approval, a flattering discourse they couldn’t be bothered to listen to.
Shi Liyun stood behind the crowd, a slight smirk on her lips, waiting to enjoy the show.
Then, everyone heard Chi Gui continue calmly, "So, let’s skip all that useless talk and get straight to the point—if anyone doesn’t pull their weight, I’ll kick them out."
Everyone: ??
In an instant, everyone in the room, including Peng Xiao, couldn’t help but look at Chi Gui in astonishment.
Facing the bewildered stares, Chi Gui continued calmly, "Don’t worry about the institute being short-handed without any of you. There are plenty of A-level members in the International Medical Alliance waiting to fill your spots."
