Chapter 1029 Extra 27: Glittering Appearance
the next day.
Sun Weimeng went out early in the morning.
Qiao Xi didn't ask too many questions. She was going to the Chinese Medicine Association to attend a meeting on the eve of the commendation conference today.
It's also a chance to meet and communicate with old friends.
Huo Xingzhou accompanied her.
"It turns out that you worked overtime for so long in the company just to take time out to accompany me to the capital to attend the commendation ceremony." Qiao Xi held his hand and walked into the Chinese Medicine Association, heading towards the clock tower.
Huo Xingzhou hooked her finger and said, "It's so hard to have this world for the two of us."
At this time, they should thank Zhong Yi for taking care of their children.
"Moreover, I want to see you standing on the highest award podium and realize your childhood dream of studying medicine."
It must be sparkly.
Qiao Xi's lips curled up and she smiled sweetly.
"Dr. Qiao!"
"Vice President Qiao!"
"It's Doctor Qiao!"
The previous group of people still called her "Vice President Qiao", while the fresh young faces of the Chinese Medicine Association followed their predecessors and called her "Doctor Qiao". Later, I learned from my colleagues that this was the former apprentice of the traditional Chinese medicine doctor Cheng Han.
During these years, Dr. Qiao became almost nationally famous.
"Dr. Qiao, the Plum Blossom Nine Needles you promoted has really benefited me greatly."
"Yes, I didn't expect you to be so young."
Qiao Xi nodded and greeted them one by one. Huo Xingzhou said softly, "I am lucky to be with you today. People say that I am Doctor Qiao's husband."
Qiao Xi lowered her voice and said, "When I was in Tianyuan Group, they also said that I was Mr. Huo's wife, so we are even."
They both do well in each other's field and neither is an absolute vassal of the other.
"Wait for me in the reception room. I'll come to you after the meeting." Qiao Xi reminded him, and Huo Xingzhou nodded.
The news of the couple's appearance at the Chinese Medicine Association spread quickly.
Many people came specially to see Dr. Qiao Xi. They heard that this Dr. Qiao might very well become the youngest Chinese medicine doctor.
What an honor that is!
While her peers may still be doing internships with their teachers, she is already far ahead.
"You are worthy of being the most gifted doctor in Mr. Cheng's words!"
"I heard that Qiao's Chinese Medicine Clinic is recruiting, and I want to apply. I wonder if I can catch the eye of Dr. Qiao."
"She is so young and beautiful, and has achieved so much. She must be a winner in life. She has a happy family, a handsome husband, and I heard she has two lovely children. God is so unfair. All the good things fall on one person."
"Thinking of this, I can't help but think of Lu Yingxue in the past."
"Oh, Lu Yingxue! Five years have passed and I heard that she has been released from prison and has disappeared since then. I think she is too embarrassed to stay in the capital any longer. For the rest of her life, she can only live in a place where no one knows her."
Lu Yingxue behaved well in prison. Although she even asked for death, she finally survived.
After she was released from prison, she did not contact anyone and no one knew where she went.
Qiao Xi naturally didn't pay attention to this news.
As she entered the large conference room, she was overwhelmed by a familiar feeling.
She thought of the first time she came to the capital and sat in this meeting room. It was still the same conference room, and even the layout had hardly changed, except that it looked brighter than before.
The sunlight from outside shone in, lighting up the entire conference room.
A familiar male voice came from behind her: "I asked someone to break down another wall and open a window. The previous conference room was too dim, which made people feel dark. Now there is enough light, and nothing in the dark can be hidden."
Qiao Xi turned around and saw Shen Xuanzhi.
He is more mature than he was five years ago. The world-weary mood in him seems to have dissipated, and he has become more reserved and stable.
"Long time no see, Qiao Xi."
"Long time no see, President Shen."
Shen Xuanzhi smiled faintly and said, "When I heard the three words 'President Shen' from you, I always felt like I had picked up a bargain. I know very well that as long as you have a little idea, this position will be yours."
"Shen Xuanzhi, I can't be as good as you."
Qiao Xi is very self-aware. "Since you are in this position, I can really feel that the atmosphere has changed. The current environment of traditional Chinese medicine is very good, and it is inseparable from your hard work day and night."
"Thank you for your recognition."
Shen Xuanzhi was also confused.
Should he continue to develop and study the Shen family's bird-pecking technique, or take up a management position in the Chinese Medicine Association?
People can only concentrate on one thing at a time. Trying to do both will likely result in nothing.
In the end, he chose the Chinese Medicine Association, which left him with much less time to improve his medical skills.
Qiao Xi's words made him feel much less guilty.
"Shen Xuanzhi, you did a really good job! I'm not the only one who thinks so. The seniors also remember the sacrifices you made. Someone has to sit in this position, and that person can't be someone who seeks fame and power."
This requires sacrifices from those who sit in this seat.
Qiao Xi really admires Shen Xuanzhi.
If she was asked to give up her medical skills and take charge of management, she would never be able to do it.
Shen Xuanzhi's face showed a little more relief. "Hearing what you said, I feel even happier. I have always doubted my choice. In fact, I just want to get some recognition."
He has always respected Qiao Xi.
The words coming out of her mouth seemed more powerful.
Qiao Xi looked at him and changed the subject, "How are you and Miss Guan..."
Shen Xuanzhi said before that he and Guan Jingtan had remarried.
She didn't know much about the situation in the imperial capital, but she knew that Guan Jingtan had taken on the responsibility of supporting the Guan family by herself. She never looked for a partner afterwards, but she didn't expect to reunite with him five years later.
I don’t know whether they are cooperating this time or have developed feelings for each other.
"fine."
When Shen Xuanzhi mentioned Guan Jingtan, his eyes were unusually gentle. "We have been in touch for the past five years. At first, I helped her family with their health, and then we gradually integrated into each other's work and life. I have let go of the past."
He and Guan Jingtan fell in love with each other over time.
We got together naturally.
So the two of them remarried.
"Just let it go."
Qiao Xi refers to Huo Sijiao.
She thought Shen Xuanzhi would remember Jiaojiao for a long, long time, because that little sun must have left an extremely warm and unforgettable impression in his gloomy life.
"In the imperial capital, I have heard a lot about the love story between Xie Xubai and her. I don't think I can be as good as Xie Xubai, and I felt a little painful at the beginning. Later, I became numb. As long as she is happy, I am willing to bless her."
He really let it go.
Qiao Xi smiled and said, "The meeting is about to start. I'm waiting for you to introduce me to the backbone of the Chinese Medicine Association. Let's go in..."
"Um."
