Ms. Bigshot Is Pampered by All-Chapter 443 - 442 You Didn’t Ask

Chi Gui: ?

She introduced Peng Xiao to Old Sir Fu and the others, "Grandpa Fu, this is Academician Peng, Peng Xiao."

Old Sir Fu was, after all, someone who had weathered many storms.

After Chi Gui finished the introductions, he immediately came back to his senses and warmly reached out to Peng Xiao, "Hello, I am Fu Rencheng."

Peng Xiao smiled and shook his hand, then took a box that his assistant was holding behind him, and said in Huaxia language, which he was not very fluent in, "I just learned today is your grandson’s birthday. This gift was prepared in a hurry, please don’t disdain it."

Even Old Sir Fu, despite his stature, felt somewhat overwhelmed by the grand manner in which Academician Peng, a core figure of the International Medical Alliance, treated him.

He quickly took the gift with both hands, "Your thoughtfulness is what matters."

Peng Xiao had serious business to attend to in Huaxia and, after speaking a few words with Old Sir Fu, he took his leave.

Chi Gui personally escorted him to the door.

Just before getting into the car, Peng Xiao turned and asked Chi Gui, "When will you return?"

Chi Gui, "After I finish the work here, in two or three days."

Peng Xiao nodded, "I’m leaving everything at the research institute in your hands, I probably won’t have time to manage it recently."

Chi Gui nodded, "Alright."

After she had sent off Peng Xiao and returned to the hall, everyone looked at her with the same enthusiasm and respect as before, proactively stepping forward to greet her.

Moreover, quite a few people took out their phones to call those who had attended the Jin Family’s banquet.

Chi Gui politely finished greeting the others and returned to the stairwell.

A crowd had already gathered at the stairwell.

Aside from Second Uncle Fu’s family, the heads of other trusted families that were close to the Fu Family had also arrived, all surrounding Old Sir Fu, asking him about what had happened.

Old Sir Fu himself was also quite baffled, and upon seeing Chi Gui, he quickly asked, "Miss Chi, didn’t you say the person coming was your boss?"

Chi Gui nodded, a bit puzzled by their astonishment, "Yes, he’s the supervisor of the research project I’m involved in in the United States."

Everyone: ...

The CEO, who had previously advised Old Sir Fu to establish a good relationship with Shi Liyun, couldn’t hide his shock. Hearing Chi Gui’s response, his face instantly turned green.

Remembering his earlier presumptuous advice, he felt utterly embarrassed and hurriedly left with an excuse.

Old Sir Fu too felt unwell.

Had he known earlier that it was Academician Peng coming, he definitely would have instructed the butler to prepare American delights and to entertain him grandly, rather than showing such neglect.

But this couldn’t be blamed on Chi Gui. She had made it very clear from the beginning, it was he who had underestimated Chi Gui’s capability, assuming she could only consort with Level D members. freёnovelkiss.com

After responding, Chi Gui went to chat with Granny Fu and Mrs. Fu.

Just then, Fu Si had also changed his clothes, descending the stairs leisurely.

Old Sir Fu’s eyes widened immediately, "Did you know about Miss Chi’s relationship with Academician Peng beforehand?"

Fu Si was somewhat perplexed as he lifted his brows slightly, "I knew, she’s the project leader in Academician Peng’s research project."

Project leader!!

Upon hearing Fu Si’s words, everyone gasped!

There’s a world of difference between being involved in a project and being the project leader!

Second Aunt Fu exclaimed, "Professor Chi is the project leader?! Then, what’s Shi Liyun who is ’highly regarded’ by Academician Peng?"

"Highly regarded by Academician Peng?" Fu Sifeng’s eyes slightly raised in understanding, and with a light chuckle, "Where did that rumor come from? She’s just the most ordinary researcher at the institute."
