Chapter 87

And so, Chu Nan and Master Lin maintained their silence all the way, with a tacit understanding between them.

In the car, Ye Yao also vaguely sensed a strange atmosphere. She truly didn't know what was going on... Perhaps, it was just a错觉？

With a hint of suspicion in her heart, Ye Yao saw the large signboard that read "Kyoto Medical Academic Seminar" through the car window, as well as the throngs of journalists and the surrounding crowd.

"Miss, Mr. Ye is in room 7124 on the seventh floor of this hotel. Mr. Ye said that when you come... find him first," Master Lin said as he drove the car toward the parking lot. This was a well-known super luxury hotel in the capital, and today's Kyoto Medical Academic Seminar was being held in the top-floor conference hall.

Ye Yao nodded, indicating that she understood.

So...

Chu Nan and Ye Yao walked into the elevator on the underground level side by side.

In the elevator, there were only Ye Yao and Chu Nan.

"Chu Nan, in a while, you'll go with me to meet my father. ——Yeah, my dad can be considered a celebrity in the medical field in our capital. Among the many sponsors of this Kyoto Medical Academic Seminar, there is a share from my boss. When you meet my dad, be sure to be sweet. You're an intern now, right? My dad has quite a good network in the hospital. If he likes you, he might directly arrange a permanent position for you! The Second People's Hospital is a good unit, and since you're studying medicine, working here in the future would be a good choice. And... once you get a permanent position, Gao Xi won't be able to make things difficult for you anymore."

Ye Yao squinted her eyes and smiled at Chu Nan, then suddenly thought of the scene in the car earlier. Her face turned slightly red, and she pretended to be serious as she said to Chu Nan, "Chu Nan, be more careful in the future... If your eyes dare to wander on my body again... I'll dig out your eyeballs!"

Before she finished speaking, she bit her lip lightly and shook her delicate fist, as if trying to intimidate Chu Nan. In fact... Ye Yao's sexy, gentle, and slightly cute and playful demeanor made Chu Nan even more fond of her. ——Ye Yao was truly a woman with immense charm! Although Chu Nan knew that Ye Yao was wearing a bra, he could still clearly feel that the movement of her fist had caused her peaks to tremble slightly.

"Cough... That... "

Chu Nan gave a somewhat embarrassed laugh. He was helpless that he was always distracted by Ye Yao's chest. He felt like crying... Actually, it wasn't entirely his fault. It's like in a bullfight, the matador also waves a red cloth to attract the bull's attention.

Chu Nan's eyes being drawn to her was purely a subconscious reaction. ——He was also an inexperienced young bull, after all!

"That... Sister Ye, I won't go with you. Please convey my greetings to Uncle."

"Eh? Why? ——It's your first time here, and you're not familiar. Introducing you to my dad will be good for you in the future." Ye Yao genuinely wanted to help Chu Nan. As time passed, their relationship had become increasingly close, and Ye Yao, who had already resolved her conflicts with Chu Nan, gradually discovered more and more of his strengths, making her even more inclined to treat him as one of her own.

Chu Nan was truly at a loss... He couldn't say that he actually knew Ye Yao's father.

But it wasn't entirely his fault. Chu Nan wasn't someone who liked to think too much all the time. He only used his brain when necessary. When there was nothing to do, he preferred to keep things simple. It was precisely because of this simple thinking style that he hadn't even considered this obvious connection.

Ye Shengge was the CEO of a pharmaceutical company, and Ye Yao had already been confirmed as the daughter of a pharmaceutical family. Chu Nan hadn't connected these two people.

If he were to suddenly say he knew Ye Shengge now, it would seem like Chu Nan was hiding something and deliberately getting close to Ye Yao. That would only lead to more misunderstandings. This was such a simple matter; who would believe that Chu Nan hadn't thought of it?

"Eh... Actually, I want to go and familiarize myself with the conference procedures on my own. Sister Ye, you know I'm just a nobody with no credentials. I want to look around and keep a low profile this year, to broaden my horizons. ——Oh, and didn't Old Mr. Zhou come too? He gave me an invitation, so I should at least greet him when I arrive."

Ye Yao didn't suspect anything further upon hearing this and nodded, "Okay... Then you go and check out the conference site first. Remember, if anything happens, don't forget to call me. Especially if the Gao family people make things difficult for you, call me immediately, and I'll come right away!"

Hearing this, Chu Nan was deeply moved and nodded deeply.

...

So, Ye Yao went to find Ye Shengge, while Chu Nan arrived at the conference site on the top floor early. After entering the venue, he found a secluded corner to sit in. He wasn't afraid of the Gao family; he just wanted to observe the atmosphere of the entire venue from a low-key position and quietly gauge the current landscape of the medical field in China or Kyoto. ——He didn't have the capital to be high-profile yet, and it didn't fit his style.

Around seven o'clock.

The 23rd Kyoto Medical Academic Seminar finally began.

Chu Nan looked at the crowd that had already filled the seats, somewhat surprised. He hadn't even noticed when the entire venue had suddenly filled up.

"Welcome all colleagues in the industry to attend the 23rd Kyoto Medical Academic Seminar! Here, I sincerely wish everyone present to gain something today, whether it's academic progress or the initial familiarity with colleagues in the industry. I hope everyone can enjoy this conference! Welcome everyone!"

"Clap, clap, clap!!!" ——After the emcee's words, the venue immediately erupted into enthusiastic applause.

Chu Nan smiled. Despite the impressive scene, why... did I detect a hint of the stench of money?

As he thought, Chu Nan followed the gaze to see a group of people gradually walking up to the stage, where the experts and organizers were seated. Most of them were portly, with full bellies and fat faces, though there were also some thin physicians. But that wasn't the point. The point was... among the people who were clearly the most important figures at this conference, Chu Nan saw a man who looked very much like Gao Xi, who was not yet forty.

"Ha ha, this must be Gao Xi's older brother, then?"
