Reminded by Li Chu, Sun Jianjun finally realized what was happening. He quickly picked up his cup and took a sip of water to cover up his embarrassment.
He was indeed a bit confused and couldn't remember who he should have reported the incident to at that time.
"Jianjun, stop thinking about historical issues. The clues we have are enough for you to investigate."
"Sigh, I'm just unlucky! How did I end up with a case that spans more than twenty years?"
"Alright, stop complaining. Let's go. I'll treat you to some food at our little cafeteria for lunch."
...
Time flowed slowly, and everything seemed the same as usual, yet there seemed to be some changes.
The biggest change is that ever since George's unsuccessful attempt to have a private talk, he has come to the clinic almost every day. When he comes, he doesn't say much; he just sits to the side and watches Li Chu teach the three children or treat patients.
He didn't mind the people he brought with him, but the staff sent by the External Liaison Office were having a hard time.
After ignoring him for a while, Li Chu finally couldn't hold back anymore.
It wasn't that he was impatient, but this foreigner came every day, always with his beautiful secretary, which attracted a lot of outsiders to come and visit his clinic.
Wenxuan's performance was better, but Liu Ziqiang's mind would wander from time to time.
That day, Wenxuan told me that he had a few arguments with his girlfriend, with whom he hadn't officially established a relationship, because of this.
Therefore, Li Chu believed that he had to talk to George, otherwise the guy would definitely push his luck further.
But how to discuss this was the problem, so he had to report to his superiors. In this era, given his status, he could never be too careful about anything involving foreigners.
Only after personally reporting to leaders at all levels did he feel somewhat reassured.
"President John, you come to see me almost every day. Please speak freely."
"Uh... I'm sorry, Dr. Li, I just wanted to see how you treat other patients."
"Oh, so that's all you wanted to see!" Li Chu smiled and nodded. "That's fine, but when you come back tomorrow, please ask your secretary not to dress so revealingly. Otherwise, starting tomorrow, she won't be allowed to set foot in my consultation room again."
The secretary standing to the side never expected that things would involve her. She looked down at her clothes and felt that they weren't particularly revealing, just a little low-cut.
However, the women in this country dress rather conservatively.
George was slightly taken aback when he heard the request, then turned to look at his secretary.
"Dr. Li, is Yin Lisha's attire reasonably appropriate?"
"Wearing this in your country is fine, but here it's considered a bit revealing, so..."
"Okay, I guarantee she'll be wearing an outfit that fits your local aesthetic standards by tomorrow."
"Whether it conforms to aesthetic standards or not doesn't matter, as long as it's not revealing."
"Okay, no problem at all."
"That's good. President John, actually, if you're thinking of using this method to get me to agree to talk to you privately, that's impossible. Even if you appeared in my office for a year straight, I still wouldn't agree."
So, if you want to say something to me, I can have my student leave first, leaving only the staff in the room.
“Uh…” George knew that this was definitely the last line, and there would be no better outcome if he continued to pester them like this.
"Never mind, Dr. Li, no one needs to go out."
He shook his head and continued, "Due to my health condition, I have decided to return to China and resign from my current position."
"Yes, I understand your choice."
As the president of a large corporation, how could the board of directors allow him to stay abroad for an extended period of time? This investment negotiation has not yet reached the point where his presence is required.
"I chose to resign because of my health condition and because I discovered a new project."
"President John, I don't quite understand what you mean by telling me this. I'm just a doctor; I don't know anything about business investment or starting a business."
"Dr. Li, you don't need to understand this, as long as you can cooperate with me."
"Cooperate? Me, cooperate with you? Cooperate on what?" Li Chu looked at George in disbelief. He never expected that he would be involved in this.
"It's the freckle-removing cream you gave Sarah."
"Huh? Isn't that applying for your country's approval? Shouldn't you be discussing this cooperation with the Ministry of Commerce?"
“I know, but what I want to talk about isn’t mass production. What I want to collaborate with you on is personalized customization. Dr. Li, do you understand what personalized customization means?”
“Of course,” Li Chu nodded, “but that’s impossible. I can’t possibly engage in any business activities, including collaborating with anyone. Not to mention you’re a foreigner, it’s impossible even if you’re from our own country.”
"Dr. Li, what if I bring the person here and go through the normal medical treatment process?"
"In that case, have you considered the cost? Is it possible for someone to spend so much money just to remove freckles?"
As soon as he asked the question, Li Chu realized he had made a mistake. The ideas of wealthy people are varied and unpredictable, and there might actually be someone who would be willing to do so.
"Whether or not you can bring the person here is my problem, Dr. Li."
Now Li Chu really didn't know how to refuse. If it really was a medical procedure that could generate foreign exchange for the country, the chances of it being approved after being reported would be very high.
As for whether they can bring those ointments into the country, that's not a problem at all for these wealthy people. Sarah and George can't compare in that respect.
"President John, I cannot give you a definite answer right now. Someone will contact you later regarding the specifics."

George breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Li Chu's words. If he had to leave his current position and wanted to maintain a decent life, he had to find a suitable way to make money.
Moreover, he wanted more than just money; he also needed to maintain the connections he had with those people living in the upper echelons.
As for Li Chu, he doesn't need to consider anything. If it's a task assigned by his superiors, he will do his best to complete it.
Watching George leave with a slightly relieved expression, he shook his head. This guy was really in a hurry; he even wanted to do this kind of middleman thing.
To George's surprise, the offer was ultimately rejected.
The reply given above was that if he wanted to become a distributor for that freckle-removing cream, he could contact the business department directly to discuss it, but if he brought someone to see Li Chu, then they would not be received.
