I heard that Master Gu's apprentice is not very old; he's probably a young man in his early twenties.
Their Lanlan is so beautiful, and she's also the little princess of Mingxia Pharmaceutical.
Which boy wouldn't be moved by that?
If money can't sway the other party, but if that person takes a liking to Lanlan, then inviting her over would solve the problem.
Xia Lan knew that this matter concerned the future development of their family's pharmaceutical business. Even though she had absolutely no interest in being Master Gu's apprentice, she had to do it.
So she obediently went to change her clothes.
She changed into an expensive custom-made dress, called in a makeup artist to give her a sweet makeup look, and carefully styled her wavy hair.
She exudes the air of a wealthy heiress, radiating confidence and attracting attention.

It's 6:30 p.m.
Beijing Convention and Exhibition Center, Traditional Chinese Medicine Symposium.
The seminar started at seven o'clock, and by then, the participants had begun to arrive one after another.
Those invited tonight are all prominent figures in the medical field.
For example, Qian Xiao, the dean of Tsinghua University School of Medicine, and Xia Changqing, the chairman of a well-known pharmaceutical company.
Most of the attendees knew each other and greeted each other when they met.
Knowing that Master Gu's apprentice would also be attending, the Xia family of three arrived at the venue early.
Looking around, he searched the crowd for any unfamiliar young faces.
Xia Lan stared at the doorway. She glanced up and saw Qian Xiao's figure; her eyes lit up.
"Dad, Mom, Dean Qian is here. Should we go over and say hello?"
Tsinghua University's medical school was Xia Lan's goal.
Qian Xiao is the dean of the medical department at Tsinghua University, so the Xia family naturally wants to cultivate a good relationship with him. That way, once she's admitted to Tsinghua, Dean Qian can take better care of her.
But the next second, Xia Lan opened her eyes wide as if she had seen a ghost.
"Mom and Dad, look, is that Jiang Nian next to Dean Qian?"
The girl was dressed in her usual simple and low-key style, wearing a thin sweatshirt and charcoal gray jeans, with high-top canvas shoes on her feet, her legs straight and long.
Yet, her face was so refined and elegant, with an outstanding presence. Even when she was nonchalant and casual, she could still be spotted in a crowd.
It was that face that she hated so much she wanted to tear it apart!
Both Madam Xia and Xia Changqing had met Jiang Nian at Canxing before.
Upon closer inspection, it really was Jiang Nian!
Xia Lan clenched her fists instinctively, her face filled with disbelief.
"Why would Jiang Nian come to a place like this? And why is she walking with Dean Qian?"
In Xia Lan's view, Jiang Nian's social class had absolutely nothing to do with Dean Qian.
Moreover, today's seminar is a high-level medical conference. She's the daughter of the Xia family, and she can come with her father. Jiang Nian, a high school senior specially recruited by Canxing, what makes her qualified to come?
Who would invite someone like her?
Xia Lan couldn't understand it any longer, so she couldn't help but take her mother's hand and say, "Let's go, Mom, let's go and say hello to Dean Qian."
The three members of the Xia family came before Dean Qian.
Xia Changqing smiled and said, "Dean Qian, it's been a long time. How have you been?"
Mingxia Pharmaceutical is one of the most well-known pharmaceutical companies in China. Even though its performance has been poor in recent years, its status remains undeniable. Xia Changqing is also a well-known entrepreneur in Beijing.
Qian Xiao is an academic. Although he doesn't particularly like the money-grubbing about businessmen, since they've met, he should at least exchange a few pleasantries.
"Chairman Lao Xia is concerned, but my health is still quite good."
Jiang Nian naturally recognized the three people from the Xia family.
However, his expression didn't change, and he didn't seem surprised.
The Xia family is originally in this industry, so their presence here is quite reasonable.
Xia Lan stared at Jiang Nian, then turned to Dean Qian, feigning ignorance of Jiang Nian: "Uncle Qian, who is this...?"
Xia Lan's original intention, of course, was to get information out of Jiang Nian and find out what her true identity was.
However, Dean Qian seemed somewhat surprised and asked, "You don't know Niannian?"
Nian Nian?
Xia Lan was even more shocked.
Dean Qian was so polite and distant to the Xia family, yet he addressed Jiang Nian so intimately?!
What is the relationship between Jiang Nian and Dean Qian?
Dean Qian looked at Xia Changqing.
"Chairman Xia, I remember your daughter was a student in Class 1 of Senior 3 at Canxing High School, and Niannian was also in Class 1 of Senior 3. How come they don't know each other?"
The moment the words were spoken, an awkward silence fell over the room.
Xia Lan was surprised to learn that Dean Qian even knew that Jiang Nian was studying at Canxing High School and was in the same class as her in their senior year of high school.
Jiang Nian casually glanced over, one hand in his pocket.
"I know Miss Xia, but Miss Xia, you probably don't remember me as a special admission student."
These words initially made Xia Lan feel awkward, but now Xia Changqing and Madam Xia also felt awkward.
I ran into a classmate outside, and he acted like he didn't recognize me.
Does this resemble the image of studying diligently and being friendly with classmates at school?
In particular, the other party was a specially admitted student.
The fact that Canxing University has a clear hierarchy among its students is common knowledge in Beijing. Clearly, they never take the special admissions students seriously, which is why they don't recognize them when they meet them outside.
"Well, I..." Xia Lan blushed instantly, "I just thought I had mistaken someone else for someone else."
"Is that so?" Jiang Nian tugged at the corner of her mouth.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Madam Xia quickly tried to smooth things over: "Well, we won't bother Dean Qian any longer. Let's talk later."
After saying that, he quickly pulled Xia Lan away.
I originally wanted to leave a good impression on Dean Qian, but now it's worse than if I hadn't come to say hello at all.
