Chapter 92

At the Kyoto Medical Academic Seminar, after a three-hour discussion, the event was announced to be over.

People were slow to leave, either taking photos with Gao Dan and others or trying to get closer to them. This was an annual grand event in the pharmaceutical industry, and it was impossible to meet these big shots in any other setting. Today, after finally meeting them, some ambitious figures naturally seized this opportunity.

As for Gao Dan, he had no choice but to smile and deal with each person. He usually liked to present himself as approachable, and even if he was impatient, he still had to talk and interact with everyone properly.

Living with such a mask on was exhausting.

Chu Nan, on the other hand, felt very relaxed. Without a word, he left the venue alone, hands in his pockets, strolling leisurely towards the elevator, looking carefree.

He took the elevator all the way out of the hotel.

But just as he reached the entrance, someone suddenly called out to him.

"Chu Nan!"

Chu Nan turned around and saw that it was Ye Yao.

Chu Nan greeted Ye Yao, who was running over with her chest bouncing, with a somewhat helpless smile: "Sis Ye, why did you follow me... It's not a wise choice to be so close to me now."

Chu Nan knew he had been a bit rash today, but he couldn't tolerate such scum in the industry. He felt it was his duty to teach them a lesson, to live up to his reputation as a skilled and benevolent doctor.

However, being rash didn't mean he was a fool. He knew he had inadvertently offended many people and some formidable figures. At least, his future in this industry would be tough. But he was also clear that people like Wang Chusheng were scum in the industry, and it was better not to mix with such a circle. He just needed to do his best to save as many people as he could.

He didn't want to involve Ye Yao... Now that he knew Ye Yao was Ye Shengge's daughter, and Ye Shengge was a highly influential figure in the pharmaceutical industry, he needed to maintain a good relationship in this circle to survive. Getting the Ye family too close to him would be a burden.

"Go to hell! What are you talking about? Do you think I'm some kind of person? Chu Nan... what you said today was great! I support you!!" Ye Yao gave Chu Nan a slightly angry glance and then gently patted his shoulder, "Scum like Wang Chusheng should be educated like that! Hmph! —— What you said today was really satisfying! But to be honest... I know all those medical ethics, but I can't remember them clearly. Compared to you, I really feel ashamed."

"Whether you remember them or not doesn't matter, but I know you have already integrated those principles into your actions."

Chu Nan replied sincerely, but inwardly he was amused... Dear Sis Ye... Can you not be so supportive? I'm feeling so moved that I can't even reject you.

Actually, when he saw Ye Yao running towards him, he subconsciously wanted to deliberately upset her, hoping she would dislike him again and keep her distance, so he wouldn't involve the Ye family.

Unfortunately...

How could two people who had already grown closer in both relationship and heart easily become distant again?

"Xiao Chu... Xiao Chu..."

At this moment, two voices suddenly came from behind Ye Yao.

Chu Nan looked up and saw Ye Shengge and Zhou Yongfu walking towards him.

Chu Nan was deeply moved! —— It seemed that not everyone in this circle was sycophantic and self-preserving. Some people, the older and more influential they were, the more they needed to be cautious. Seeing these two senior figures, who were not young, walking towards him, Chu Nan knew that each step they took towards him required a very firm belief!

"Xiao Chu, you were really too impulsive today!" Ye Shengge came over first, with a mix of blame and support in his tone, "When Yao Yao told me, I realized you were here. It turns out you already knew each other... What a coincidence, I and Old Zhou are also familiar with each other, and I learned that he was the one who sent you the invitation."

Chu Nan smiled bitterly. Ye Shengge didn't actually know that Zhao Zihong had given him the invitation.

At this moment, Ye Shengge's expression towards him was very complex. Clearly, he was upset that Chu Nan hadn't told him that he already knew Ye Yao. But Chu Nan couldn't explain himself; he hadn't guessed they were father and daughter. However, it seemed that Ye Shengge hadn't told Ye Yao that he already knew Chu Nan.

"Hey? Chu Nan —— you know my dad?"

This time, it was Ye Yao's turn to be surprised. She turned her head and stared at Chu Nan with wide, surprised eyes: "Chu Nan, why didn't you tell me before that you know my dad??"

Chu Nan smiled bitterly and touched his nose, not answering. Instead, he turned to Zhou Yongfu, who had also come over, and said, "Old Mr. Zhou, I'm really sorry. I was too impulsive today. Since you invited me, it might cause you some trouble, I'm really sorry..."

"Don't say that." Old Mr. Zhou didn't show any resentment but shook his head calmly, "What you did today was right. Over the years, this circle has been heading in the wrong direction. Your words today will wake many people up. The reason I came out is that I'm very worried about you... What will you do next? Your actions today have offended many big shots..."

Chu Nan sighed, "Yes, I've offended many big shots. But it doesn't matter... This is a matter of principle. If I offend them, so be it. I'll do what I think is right."

Seeing Chu Nan say this with a smile, Ye Shengge and Zhou Yongfu looked at him with very complex expressions, a mix of admiration, worry, helplessness... and even admiration!

They were both people who had lived for a long time. If they were in Chu Nan's place today, they wouldn't have the same brave and upright attitude! As insiders in the pharmaceutical industry, they deeply understood that if someone like Chu Nan, who has a conscience and the courage to act, could reach a position of influence, the future of the pharmaceutical industry in China would be very promising!

"Hey! Don't talk yet... Chu Nan, Dad, you haven't told me how you know each other?" A woman's mind is indeed something men can't understand. Everyone was discussing the serious events of the day, but Ye Yao's attention was completely drawn to this question.

"About this..." Chu Nan smiled but didn't speak.

Ye Shengge had already said, "Do you remember the young man I mentioned before?"

"Which young man?" Ye Yao was confused.

"The young man who helped me solve some crises..."

"Oh, I remember... Um... Um?!! —— Dad, you mean... the young man with the high-level physiognomy skills... is..." As she spoke, Ye Yao's eyes filled with disbelief, slowly shifting to Chu Nan.
