Kyle stated what he believed to be a surefire condition to attract Chi Gui.
After all, for a strong character like Chi Gui, wasn’t there a love for being unbeatable in solitude?
...He had seen it written like that in many Huaxia novels.
After Kyle finished speaking, he waited confidently for Chi Gui to agree, only to receive a straightforward "No time" in response.
Kyle was instantly bewildered.
Lu You stood by and couldn’t bear to watch Kyle’s pitiable state, so he gestured for him to e over.
Kyle obediently handed over his phone.
Taking the phone, Lu You simply said, "First place prize 5 million, in M currency."
Chi Gui replied, "Send me the time and place."
Lu You responded, "Check WeChat."
The entire conversation lasted no more than five seconds.
Kyle stood to one side, pletely dumbstruck, and even when Lu You hung up and handed the phone back, it took Kyle a while to collect his thoughts. Such a well-respected figure, corrupted by money.
Lu You watched Kyle’s deflated expression and mercilessly remarked, "Don’t doubt, none of us frontline players, from top elite clubs, indeed find 5 million any less appealing."
Kyle ...

The next day.
Xia Jinjin arrived at Kyoto City Hospital to report for duty, and Wang Lulu had been waiting at the entrance since early morning.
Besides her, several other healthcare professionals with nothing pressing to do had also gathered nearby, curious to see what the legendary Xia Jinjin looked like.
The last time Chi Gui visited, he used the hospital’s special passage, which was off-limits to the general public.
Xia Jinjin didn’t have that privilege yet and had to enter through the hospital’s main entrance.
At 9:10 AM.
A black Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly pulled up to the front of the hospital.
The appearance of the luxury car immediately caught everyone’s attention.
Amidst the onlookers’ envious and amazed stares, the car door opened and Xia Jinjin, dressed in a refined and appropriate light blue suit, stepped out.
She always carried a cool demeanor, and her noble and detached aura was heightened by the light blue suit.
Xia Jinjin got out of the car without so much as glancing at the people around her and walked straight into the building.
Wang Lulu hurried over, warmly greeting, "Senior Sister Xia, you’ve arrived!"
Xia Jinjin gave Wang Lulu a look, recognizing her as a junior from college, and gave a slight nod in acknowledgment.
Wang Lulu, unfazed, basked in the nearby crowd’s envious gazes, feeling a hint of pride as she followed Xia Jinjin into the lobby.
Inside, Professor Han’s other assistant, Fang Li, was already waiting.
Upon seeing Xia Jinjin, he approached her politely, "Miss Xia, hello, I’m Professor Han’s assistant, Fang Li. Professor Han is waiting for you; please follow me."
Xia Jinjin’s expression softened a bit towards Professor Han’s assistant, offering a slight smile, "Hello."
Fang Li led the way into the elevator, with Xia Jinjin close behind.
Wang Lulu also entered, and under Fang Li’s watchful eye, she raised the documents in her hand and said timidly, "This is for Professor Han, from my professor..."
She had purposely saved delivering the documents for this moment, to find an excuse to acpany Xia Jinjin upstairs.
Noticing this, Fang Li nodded slightly and didn’t say anything more, closing the elevator door.
They were in an elevator that went straight to the fifth floor.
It was Wang Lulu’s first time in it.
As she watched the numbers on the elevator ascend, she couldn’t help but clench the documents in her hand with excitement.
The hospital and Professor Han were showing such consideration for Senior Sister Xia, personally sending an assistant to wele her. If she played her cards right as an acquaintance of Senior Sister Xia, perhaps she could convince Professor Han to take her on as a student as well!
Wang Lulu was quite experienced in these matters; after all, her current internship opportunity had e from leveraging her relationship with Wang Shuai.
