Chapter 179 -178: The Bidding Begins
Su Qing nodded.
Old Sir Su didn’t continue on that topic but shifted to discussing Chi Yan.
The issue with Chi Gui was bizarre, but it was not impossible that there had been a mistake by the staff.
Old Sir Su preferred to focus his attention on Chi Yan, who might secure the second place in the national petition and had a boundless future ahead.
When Chi Yan was mentioned, Su Qing’s expression eased considerably, and she detailed her recent progress to the elderly man.

In the hotel,
After washing up, Chi Gui had just e out when he saw a few new messages on WeChat.
Shen Yun: “Lord Chi! Lord Chi, e quickly! Our pany’s bidding location this year is at Capital City, and you’re there too, right? Want to e and oversee it?”
Chi Gui: “No time.”
Shen Yun: “So busy? Aren’t you supposed to be resting because of your injured hand? What else could be keeping you busy?”
Chi Gui: “Busy with a medical student petition.”
Shen Yun immediately sent a string of question marks indicating confusion: “Did you accidentally add an extra ‘student’?”
Given Lord Chi’s status in the medical field, he could somewhat accept ‘doctor petition.’
But… a medical student??
Faced with Shen Yun’s near-collapsing reply, Chi Gui remained very calm: “I am studying now… well, since I’m a student, I should act a bit like one.”
Shen Yun: …
Although he had always known that Lord Chi was a very serious person who, once decided on doing something, would do it to the best of his ability,
the idea of her, an internationally acclaimed medical expert, sincerely participating in such a petition was… unimaginable…
After pondering for a long time, Shen Yun finally sighed helplessly: “I don’t even know if I should mourn for your petitors.”
With Lord Chi participating, wouldn’t this petition just turn into her one-woman show?
Chi Gui: “I will only perform at the level of an ordinary student and not interfere excessively.”
Shen Yun: “Lord Chi, you didn’t really need to say that. Seriously.”
Whether in exams or petitions, being able to freely control one’s own ability, deciding how much to exert oneself, is an existence that makes others jealous enough to want to plant lemon trees!
Chi Gui: …
She silently withdrew her previous message.
Shen Yun: …
For some reason, that made him feel even sadder…
Shen Yun didn’t reply further.
Chi Gui didn’t bother anymore.
Shen Yun had been one of her closest friends since junior high and was one of the few people Chi Gui pletely trusted.
He managed Tenggui Group well, giving Chi Gui peace of mind.

Chi Yan was talking on the phone with Zhao Yuexiu.
“By the way, mom and dad will e to Capital City tomorrow,” Zhao Yuexiu suddenly remembered and said with a smile.
Chi Yan immediately smiled with delight: “Really? Mom, I’ve missed you and dad so much! I’ll pick you up tomorrow! Is there something going on?”
“It’s about this year’s bidding with Tenggui Group,” Zhao Yuexiu replied joyfully, “the bidding starts in a couple of days, and it’s been decided to hold it in Capital City this year. Old Sir Su has managed to invite Lady Lee, who has good relations with the top brass of Tenggui Group. Your dad, and the parents of Su Qing, will all return to the Su Mansion to discuss how to update this year’s bid.”
Since three years ago, when Tenggui Group emerged dramatically and became one of the top domestic groups within just one year, and swiftly penetrated the international market in the following two years, being one of the top 500 global groups, their annual bids have bee prime targets for major domestic panies.
After all, everyone knew that collaborating with Tenggui Group meant easily making at least a billion.
This year, the Chi Family and the Kyoto Su Family had collaborated and prepared the bid a month in advance.
Old Sir Su also valued it highly, even spending a significant sum to invite an “insider” from Hai Dou, who was well-connected with Tenggui Group’s top management, to help revise the bid.
Hearing this news, Zhao Yuexiu, Chi Changjing, and Su Qing’s parents rushed eagerly to the Kyoto Su Mansion.
