Chapter 88

Before coming here, Ye Yao had already told Chu Nan that one of the organizers of this conference was from the Gao family's pharmaceutical company. And now, the highest authority in the Gao family's pharmaceutical company was actually Gao Xi's elder brother. His elder brother was named Gao Dan. Although he was a middle-aged man not yet forty, he had considerable influence in the pharmaceutical industry, at least in the Beijing pharmaceutical industry. His influence was also quite significant.

And at this moment, when Chu Nan saw Gao Dan for the first time, he could tell that this guy was definitely a tough character. Although Gao Dan and Gao Xi, the two brothers, looked somewhat similar, their faces were vastly different. Gao Xi's face was straightforward, indicating that he benefited from his ancestors' blessings but had no real talent or prospects. His face also hinted at a sinister nature, making him not a good person. However, Gao Dan was different. Although his face wasn't exactly kind, his facial bones were more smoothly developed, indicating a person who was adaptable and knew when to be flexible and when to be firm. His broad forehead concealed a narrow mind, suggesting that he was a person who appeared upright on the surface but was actually quite evil inside.

In ancient times, this would be the face of a treacherous minister. It's not easy to distinguish between the face of a treacherous minister and a virtuous one, unlike in movies and TV shows where treacherous ministers are always depicted with sharp features and virtuous ones with broad foreheads and large faces. In reality, they are not that different. However, both treacherous and virtuous ministers have one thing in common: they are all powerful figures who have risen to high positions through their own abilities, and they are very capable.

Unfortunately...

In most of history, treacherous ministers often lived longer than virtuous ones. In today's era, people with cunning and deceitful minds are even more at ease. Looking at Gao Dan's current demeanor of superiority and the respectful manner of those around him, it was clear.

"It seems... if Gao Dan wants to help his brother, I'll have a hard time dealing with it," Chu Nan said with a bitter smile, shaking his head. He wasn't sure if it was a delusion, but Gao Dan's piercing gaze seemed to be searching for someone in the audience. Chu Nan had a feeling that this guy might be looking for him? Uh... probably not, or maybe he was looking for Gao Xi.

Thinking of this, Chu Nan followed Gao Dan's gaze and noticed a side profile. In the third row, right in the middle, Gao Xi was clearly seated. Ye Yao and Ye Shengge had also entered earlier.

As expected, Ye Shengge slowly walked to the important seats on the stage. However, he sat in a relatively peripheral position, which was understandable. In terms of influence in the pharmaceutical industry, Ye Shengge, although not bad, was still a level below Gao Dan. This medical academic seminar mainly invited physician experts, and someone like Ye Shengge, who had little medical experience and was just a pharmaceutical businessman, was not a key player.

"Everyone, welcome to this year's Beijing Medical Academic Seminar. As in previous years, the main purpose is to promote more interaction among us. It is precisely through this interaction that our medical industry can present a promising future! — I am Gao Dan from the Gao family's pharmaceutical company. Do you remember me?"

Gao Dan thought he was very funny and joked, causing the entire hall to burst into laughter.

At this moment, Chu Nan really wanted to cover his face... What the hell? Is the pharmaceutical industry's sense of humor so low?

He was very clear that the laughter was accompanied by a strong sense of flattery. Even though... most people knew that their enthusiastic applause and laughter might not attract Gao Dan's attention, they were still so stupid and despicable.

Chu Nan could even clearly see a female pharmaceutical worker with a decent appearance stand up, giggling and clapping enthusiastically. If Chu Nan could see her face, he might have been inadvertently hit by her flirtatious glances.

The so-called medical academic seminar was extremely boring, and Chu Nan was almost falling asleep with his arms crossed. The so-called medical academic seminar was nothing more than a tea party for people in the circle to entertain themselves, even to indulge themselves. If there was any real contribution to the development of the medical industry... it was some potential commercial value, such as the Gao family's pharmaceutical company announcing their new products to be launched in the second half of the year, or a certain hospital hiring a senior physician who had returned from the West to serve as an expert.

All of this was really pointless.

Chu Nan had been looking forward to a medical academic seminar where people would share knowledge and integrate traditional Chinese and Western medicine, as well as some folk remedies. But from start to finish, none of the organizers or doctors discussed how future medicine could benefit the people. This was a huge disappointment for Chu Nan.

Just as Chu Nan was about to fall asleep, suddenly, a person appeared in the empty seat next to him. With this person's arrival, Chu Nan smelled a fresh fragrance, which was quite familiar.

"Hmm? Sister Ye?" Chu Nan, feeling a wave of fragrance... oh, not that, but a wave of fresh scent, opened his sleepy eyes and greeted, "Weren't you sitting in the front? Why are you in the back corner?"

Ye Yao's face was somewhat displeased, and she huffed as she sat down, "I don't want to sit in the front and listen to those so-called experts talk nonsense. — It's really painful to see their self-important faces up close."

"What happened?" Chu Nan, who hadn't heard anything, asked curiously.

Ye Yao's face was even more angry, "See that fat expert sitting next to Gao Dan? He is the respiratory disease specialist at Changjian Hospital in Beijing. This year, in the first half, a kindergarten in the outskirts of Beijing suddenly had a small flu outbreak, and more than ten children were hospitalized with respiratory diseases. Due to untimely treatment, one child died!"

Speaking of this, a hint of sadness flashed in Ye Yao's eyes, "At the time, many people criticized Changjian Hospital, and public opinion was very strong. But this fat expert used the excuse of insufficient hospital equipment and staff to evade responsibility. In the end, only two temporary workers were fired, and some compensation was paid, and the matter was dropped. — And just now, this fat expert actually said that based on the incident in the first half of the year, he has drawn a serious conclusion that Changjian Hospital needs more investment to expand medical equipment to prevent similar incidents in the future... Tell me, how can there be such shameless scum in this world!!!"

The more she spoke, the angrier she became. By the end, Ye Yao was breathing heavily, her chest rising and falling, quite enticing.
