Ms. Bigshot Is Pampered by All

Chapter 615: Chapter 614 Ancient Books

Chi Gui followed the staff member backstage.

Shi Liyun noticed and turned to ask Xu Wen, “Where is Professor Chi going?”

Xu Wen, who had little affection for this woman who always seemed to be ill-intentioned and compared herself to their professor, responded with irritation, “She’s going to the restroom. Do you want to go as well?”

Shame-faced, Shi Liyun turned her head away without saying another word.

Xue Mingqing chuckled and said, “Young people shouldn’t be so hot-tempered. You’re still young and don’t understand, but when you reach my age, you’ll know how important connections are.”

Although Xu Wen wasn’t aware of the specifics, he had unfounded confidence in Chi Gui and simply smiled in response, “Thank you for your concern, but our professor’s connections are not something that a mere business boss can match.”

Xiang Nuan, sitting next to him, quietly gave him a thumbs up.

It had to be said, the group led by Chi Gui had thoroughly learned her skill of politely killing someone with words.

You Junyao, whose face was already gloomy, instantly darkened as he sneered, “Not much skill, but quite the big talk!”

Just a minor Huaxia professor, what significant connections could she have?

Not something he could rival? Ridiculous!

Xue Mingqing and Shi Liyun hurriedly tried to please You Junyao, ignoring Xu Wen and the others.

–

Backstage.

Chi Gui initially thought that it was just Peng Xiao who wanted to see her, but as she followed the staff member, she discovered a foreign man waiting there.

“Professor Chi, hello,” the man, dressed in judge attire with striking blond hair, greeted her first with a smile. “I’m a student of Orlando Nelson, Donny. I have long admired you and am thrilled to finally meet you today.”

It turned out to be someone from the Orlando Family.

Chi Gui nodded and politely responded, “Hello.”

Peng Xiao chuckled from the side, “I originally planned to arrange a meeting after the award ceremony, but he couldn’t wait and insisted on meeting you now.”

Chi Gui smiled, “I am indeed honored to be so highly regarded by Mr. Orlando Nelson’s chief student.”

Donny, picking up on Chi Gui’s compliment that wasn’t heartfelt, didn’t mind and smiled as he handed her a finely wrapped gift box, “This is a small token of my regard. I hope you like it.”

Chi Gui took the box, opened it to peek inside, and was instantly taken aback by its contents.

She closed the box and handed it back to Donny, “This gift is too precious; I cannot accept it.”

Inside the box was an undiscovered authentic ancient medical manuscript.

She and Donny were neither relatives nor had they met before; although she was truly fascinated by the manuscript, it indeed wasn’t appropriate to accept such a valuable gift.

But Donny didn’t accept it back, instead smiling, “You are someone my teacher has always wanted to include in our family. This gift isn’t enough to express my respect! There’s also a personal motive behind it… even if you do not join our family, I hope you can lend a hand when we need help.”

With his words reaching this extent, Chi Gui no longer pushed back and carefully accepted the box, “If you need help in the future, just ask.”

Donny finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After chatting for a few more moments, due to time constraints, Chi Gui left.

She returned to her seat and eagerly took out the ancient manuscript, treasuring it as she flipped through.

On the other side.

You Junyao saw Chi Gui return from the restroom and start reading an old book, his eyes filled with even more disdain.
