Chapter 2686: Chapter 2687: Open Praise, Secret Criticism

On the other end of the phone, Yu Siying laughed, “Boss, you’re not someone who loves to indulge yourself like this.”

“I’m not living here alone; there are others too.”

“I get it, a secret love nest,” Yu Siying said meaningfully.

“I knew you would say that.” Lin Yi didn’t argue and said:

“AA3214, check this flight. It will land at Rochester’s airport in about ten hours. Go and meet someone named Li Chuhan. I’ll send you their phone number later.”

“Is it the Director of Cardiac Surgery from Huashan Hospital?”

“Smart.”

“Leave it to me.”

After arranging matters for Li Chuhan, Lin Yi hung up the phone.

Things were already settled at home. He would spare some time to meet Wang Ying and Qin Han and then set off for Rochester.

Soon, Ji Qingyan walked out from the room.

Though she had just given birth not long ago, Ji Qingyan’s figure was still maintained very well.

The blue jeans wrapped around her long and voluptuous legs made her figure appear even taller and more proportionate.

The originally slender waist had become more pronounced, highlighting the magnificence of her proportions.

Their date was nothing unusual—eating, shopping, watching movies, much like any other young couple.

In addition, Lin Yi talked to Ji Qingyan about his arrangements.

The latter didn’t say much about it, going to M country was not considered a big deal.

In Ji Qingyan’s eyes, only going to those underdeveloped places might pose a risk.

After shopping at a bit past five, they returned and made plans to dine with Qin Han and others.

Everyone drank together until the early hours of the morning before wrapping up.

The next morning, after breakfast, Lin Yi headed out.

Ji Qingyan hugged Lin Yi quietly for over half a minute.

Profound love speaks no words.

No more words were needed between the two of them.

“Go now, don’t worry about the things at home.”

Lin Yi gently embraced Ji Qingyan, “Thank you for all your effort.”

“It’s no trouble at all; it’s both painful and joyous,” Ji Qingyan replied with a smile.

Lin Yi kissed her forehead, then kissed his child’s cheek before finally turning to leave.

After leaving the house, Lin Yi didn’t head straight to the airport but called Wang Ying instead.

He invited her out, sat in a café for a while, chatted about recent events, then drove to the airport.

…

At 4:48 PM M country time.

The flight from Yanjing slowly landed at Rochester.

The weather in Rochester was still a bit chilly; Yu Siying stood in blue jeans and a black jacket next to a Bugatti Veyron, waiting for Li Chuhan to come out.

Half an hour after the flight landed, people started coming out one after another.

Li Chuhan and her group walked toward the terminal exit at the back of the crowd.

Including the team leader, there were nine people in total.

The lineup made it clear that these were the young and middle-aged elites in the Huaxia medical industry.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have the qualifications to participate in such an event.

“Once we’re out of the airport, everyone should stick close to me.”

The speaker was a middle-aged man slightly over fifty, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, giving off a very cultivated vibe.

His name was Zheng Tiejun, the team leader for this event and a leading figure in the field of infectious diseases in Huaxia.

“There’s a shuttle bus outside. First, we’ll head to the hotel to rest. No activities are planned for today, so everyone can make their own arrangements.”

“Mr. Zheng, I won’t be joining everyone this evening. I’ll go straight to tomorrow’s meeting point,”

spoke a woman with long hair, in her thirties, wearing black leggings and a blue trench coat, with an elegant outfit.

Her name was Gu Jialin, the deputy director of cardiac surgery at Huaxi Hospital.

Her experience resembled Li Chuhan’s, having worked long-term in M country before returning to Huaxia six months ago.

After six months of evaluation, she was directly promoted to deputy director, which showed her immense potential.

“Have you made other plans?” asked Zheng Tiejun.

“My boyfriend is picking me up later; we’re going out for dinner tonight.”

“Boyfriend?”

The group was somewhat surprised to hear that.

Gu Jialin had returned to the country, so how could she have an M country boyfriend?

Having a long-distance relationship at this age seemed rather impractical.

“My boyfriend is in foreign trade, doing business here.”

Gu Jialin adjusted her hair, showing a somewhat proud smile with a hint of superiority:

“He happened to be on a business trip to Minnisuita at the same time as our event, so it’s a perfect chance to meet and have a date.”

“Ah, I see,” said a female doctor accompanying them:

“No wonder you’re all dressed in brand names; just that Burberry coat you’re wearing is almost equal to my annual salary. Seems like you really got yourself a rich boyfriend.”

“Oh, he’s just a regular wage earner, don’t tease me,” said Gu Jialin:

“Plus, I heard Director Li’s boyfriend is also quite wealthy; you can’t just point the finger at me.”

Gu Jialin was sophisticated in her flattery and criticism, adding a bit more superiority to herself.

While their experiences were quite similar, in close comparison, Li Chuhan was actually a bit superior.

This was because Li Chuhan’s internship was at the headquarters of the Mayo Clinic.

Whereas, Gu Jialin went to the branch in Florida.

Although it was good, compared to the headquarters, it still fell short.

After returning to the country, Li Chuhan went to the more prestigious Huashan Hospital, stabilizing herself as the chief director, while Gu Jialin remained the deputy director.

Most importantly, both were in the field of cardiac surgery, making their differences evident.

Gu Jialin cared for these things because she had other plans for the future; she didn’t want to stay at the hospital forever but aimed for a career in public office.

However, undoubtedly, Li Chuhan was more outstanding in their industry, causing Gu Jialin quite a bit of pressure, driving her to constantly look for ways to prove herself.

“He doesn’t have much money, just running a small company, don’t misunderstand,”

Regarding Lin Yi, Li Chuhan remained tight-lipped.

Because his identity was quite special, revealing it publicly might cause unnecessary trouble.

Thus, for a long time, only a few people in the department knew about Li Chuhan’s relationship with Lin Yi, while others were unaware.

“A small company is still a company; it’s better than going out to work,” someone agreed:

“I understand now, these days, relying on a job to buy a house isn’t realistic; starting your own business is the way.”

“Well, isn’t Director Gu lucky to have found a wealthy boyfriend who has even expanded his business to M country?”

“Alright, alright, it’s nothing special,” said Gu Jialin:

“My boyfriend is waiting for me outside, so I won’t chat with you all; I’m leaving now.”
