Chapter 31 He stood her up.
The next morning.
Imperial Garden.
Sunlight streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, falling onto the soft king-size bed.
Fu Beichen opened his eyes.
He sat up, rubbed his temples, and his eyes still showed obvious signs of fatigue.
However, when he finished showering, changed into a well-tailored black suit, walked down the spiral staircase, and stood in the center of the living room, the lingering sadness had vanished without a trace.
Instead, he exudes his usual domineering aura, with sharp eyes, a taut jawline, and an overall aloofness that keeps strangers at bay.
Full of vigor, he once again became the all-powerful CEO of the Fu Group.
Lin Qi was already waiting to the side. Seeing him come downstairs, he immediately greeted him respectfully.
"Good morning, Mr. Fu."
Fu Beichen nodded slightly in response.
He walked straight to the dining table, his long legs striding forward with steady steps.
I picked up the milk glass next to me and took two sips.
The cool liquid slid down his throat, seemingly making him more awake.
He put down his cup, picked up the unfolded newspaper with his well-defined fingers, and quickly scanned the front page of financial news in just a few seconds.
Then, he raised his wrist and looked at the watch face.
It's almost time.
"Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
He spoke, his voice devoid of warmth, and gave instructions to the driver who was waiting beside him.
Lin Qi stood behind him, and upon hearing this, his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
His lips moved as if he wanted to say something.
But in the end, he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
The atmosphere was somewhat tense.
Just then—"Buzz buzz buzz..."
The sudden vibration of a cell phone broke the silence of the living room.
Fu Beichen picked up his phone from the dining table, glanced at the caller ID, and answered it.
I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone.
He only gave a brief reply:
"Um."
"Okay. I'll be right there."
The voice remained the same unquestionable tone.
Hang up the phone.
Turning his head, his deep gaze fell upon the driver waiting outside the door. His tone was calm, and his command was concise and clear:
"To the airport."
Lin Qi stood still, his fingers hanging at his sides loosening slightly.
He felt an indescribable sense of relief.
fine!
......
The next day, at 9:00 a.m. sharp, Gu Xingnian stood at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Sunlight filters through the sparse leaves of the roadside trees, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
The air was filled with the cool scent unique to an early summer morning.
She glanced at the time on her phone screen: 9:05.
Fu Beichen hasn't arrived yet.
People came and went at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, mostly in pairs, with expressions of expectation or solemnity on their faces.
Gu Xingnian stood alone, seemingly out of place with the atmosphere around her.
9:30.
Fu Beichen still did not appear.
Gu Xingnian took out her phone, swiped her finger across the screen, and dialed the number she knew by heart.
The phone rang for a long time before being answered, and the background noise was somewhat loud, as if it were coming from inside a car.
"I'm at the Civil Affairs Bureau. When are you coming?"
Gu Xingnian's voice was calm, revealing no emotion.
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.
"I have something very important to do this morning, let's reschedule for another day!"
Fu Beichen's voice came through the receiver, as calm and devoid of warmth as ever.
There was no explanation, no apology, just a simple notification.
The call ended there.
Gu Xingnian stood there for a moment, then cursed at the air in a voice only she could hear.
"You scoundrel!"
She turned and walked quickly away from the place that should have witnessed the promise.
Meanwhile, a gold Rolls-Royce was smoothly driving on the highway leading to the international airport.
Fu Beichen sat in the spacious back seat, his gaze fixed on the receding city skyline outside the window.
Today, he is going to pick up a guest who is of great significance to him.
Professor Frank.
His mentor during his doctoral studies in medicine in country F was also a leading figure in the medical field.
More importantly, Fu Beichen had reason to believe that this professor might know the whereabouts of the mysterious N God.
Based on the fragmented information he currently possesses, N is very likely someone Professor Frank was personally trained by.
With the help of N God, the Fu Group's intelligent medical project will break through existing bottlenecks and enter a new era.
The vehicle arrived at the airport's VIP parking apron.
Fu Beichen straightened his suit jacket, opened the car door, and got out.
Shortly after, a private plane slowly landed.
The cabin door opened, and an elderly man with gray hair, but in good spirits and walking steadily, stepped out with the help of his family.
The elderly man was dressed in well-tailored casual clothes, with a gentle smile on his face.
He spotted Fu Beichen waiting there at a glance.
"Bei Chen".
Professor Frank's voice was filled with the joy of a long-awaited reunion.
Fu Beichen quickly stepped forward and gave the professor a polite hug.
"Professor, welcome to Haicheng."
The convoy then drove directly to the headquarters building of the Fu Group.
The smart medical showroom on the top floor is full of futuristic technology.
Various sophisticated instruments and equipment are quietly displayed, while a complex human anatomy model is being shown on a huge holographic projection screen.
Fu Beichen personally introduced Professor Frank to him.
"Professor, this is an intelligent medical system that our Fu Group has been developing over three years."
He walked up to a piece of equipment and demonstrated its operation.
Through high-resolution bioinformatics acquisition and big data analysis models, the system can perform preliminary image interpretation and diagnosis of more than 300 common diseases and some difficult and complicated diseases.
A simulated patient medical record immediately appeared on the screen, along with a diagnostic report and treatment recommendations automatically generated by the system.
“We compared 10,000 cases, and the system’s diagnostic results and the judgments of physicians at the deputy director level or above in tertiary hospitals had a consistency rate of 93%.”
Professor Frankl leaned closer to the screen, looking at it very carefully, nodding from time to time.
"This greatly improves diagnostic efficiency, especially in areas with relatively scarce medical resources, and can effectively alleviate the pressure of a shortage of doctors."
A glint of wisdom shone on Fu Beichen's handsome face as he added,
"Currently, we are working on miniaturization technology and plan to launch a home-use miniature medical diagnostic system in two months."
"To enable every family to enjoy convenient and accurate health monitoring and preliminary diagnosis services."
Professor Frank turned around and looked at Fu Beichen, his eyes filled with admiration.
"Bei Chen, you did an excellent job."
"I felt sorry for you when you chose to return to China to develop your career, but now it seems that your choice was the right one."
"This technology is a truly great achievement that can benefit mankind, and I am very proud of you."
Fu Beichen nodded slightly, accepting the teacher's praise.
After the tour, the two arrived at the president's office, which had a wide view.
An assistant brought coffee.
Fu Beichen picked up his cup and spoke seemingly casually.
“Professor, I have been following some cutting-edge developments in the field of cancer recently. A cancer patient can almost bankrupt a family.”
"Do you know a mysterious figure codenamed N Goddess? She has made a huge breakthrough in cancer treatment. It is said that her aromatherapy can precisely target cancer and give patients a new lease on life."
Professor Frank's hand, holding the coffee cup, paused almost imperceptibly.
He raised his head and looked at Fu Beichen, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
"Oh? N God?"
Fu Beichen continued, his tone very sincere.
"If Fu's intelligent medical system can cooperate deeply with top talents like N God in the field of cancer, it will undoubtedly open up a completely new situation."
It might even be able to conquer all the world's cancer challenges, and the Fu family has the financial strength to back it up.
He carefully observed the changes in Professor Frank's expression.
Professor Frank put down his coffee cup, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.
"N God...I know him!"
