Chapter 622: Chapter 621 I Can’t Just Stand By and Watch
Xue Mingqing and Shi Liyun’s faces turned even darker and colder as they watched the scene unfold.
They had intended to use this opportunity to make a name for themselves in the Huaxia Medical Industry and even in the international medical communities, but in the end, all the glory still went to Chi Gui!
The two of them watched Chi Gui being surrounded like a star by her admirers and felt utterly disheartened as they hurriedly left from the other side.
–
You Junyao also felt miserable.
As soon as he stepped away from the official cameras, his face darkened immediately.
He had thought that his group’s team, if not first, would at least achieve a respectable result.
But unexpectedly, they did not even win the last prize!
And the team of that insignificant Huaxia professor, whom he had looked down upon and had not taken seriously, won the first place! And they crushed the Salvation team to get it!!
You Junyao felt as if he had lost all face today!
As soon as he left the venue, Wen Yan and the rest of his team tactfully dispersed, not daring to provoke You Junyao’s ire.
Assistant Lin carefully followed behind You Junyao, not even daring to breathe loudly.
“What happened?!” Finally reaching a less crowded area, You Junyao bluntly questioned, “Didn’t you say that you’ve taken care of the connections and even gifted that hard-earned medical ancient text to the other party, ensuring that Chi Gui’s team wouldn’t even be mentioned for nominations?! Why did her team win the first place instead?”
Assistant Lin was also confused; he did not know what went wrong!
But he dared not remain silent and was about to say something when he noticed at the entrance, a group of reporters were gathering around Bi Yu of the Salvation team, asking questions.
The award ceremony would be followed by official interviews with the winning teams by arranged journalists.
This process would be broadcasted globally.
Assistant Lin’s eyes flickered, and he smiled at You Junyao, saying, “Mr. You, please don’t rush. Being overshadowed by a no-name small team like Chi Gui’s must be unsettling for Bi Yu and her team. I’ll have a word with our contact among the journalists to guide the discussion in that direction when interviewing Bi Yu…”
He paused, leaned closer to You Junyao, and lowered his voice, “As long as Bi Yu shows any signs of dissatisfaction or resentment towards Chi Gui’s team on camera, the netizens will naturally imagine a lot more. By then, we don’t have to do anything to disturb Chi Gui’s peace with this award!”
You Junyao squinted slightly and dropped a line: “Don’t smear the You Group’s reputation.”
Assistant Lin replied, “Rest assured!”
He turned to instruct the journalists they had brought.
Soon, it was time for Assistant Lin’s arranged journalists to interview Bi Yu.
These journalists were seasoned professionals, and their questions were particularly tricky:
“Doctor Bi Yu, what do you think about Gui Ling’s team winning the best research development first place?”
“Do you think the drug developed by her team is stronger than yours? If so, where?”
“As a team that has won the Madam Curie Award for three consecutive years, how do you feel about being surpassed today by a newcomer with little reputation?”
Bi Yu frowned slightly.
A short distance away, Assistant Lin’s eyes brightened.
He knew that Bi Yu must have some grievances about Chi Gui!
See, just a slight mention and she couldn’t help but frown!
He whispered to You Junyao beside him, “Mr. You, rest assured, things are still within our control…”
Before he could finish, he heard Bi Yu reply, “What an interesting question you’ve asked. Of course, I was sitting and watching. In such a solemn and dignified venue, I couldn’t exactly stand up to watch, could I?”
