Chapter 169: Chapter 168: Just Like a Boss in the Novels

Chi Yan’s question struck straight to the heart of what everyone was curious about.

No one could not wonder about it.

When Xia Jinjin heard Chi Yan say this, her cool gaze swept over the curious faces around her; after a moment, she replied with apparent indifference, “Fu Wen said Grandpa Fu invited me to have dinner at the Fu Family’s house next week.”

Her words instantly provoked a wave of envious murmurs.

That was the Fu Family!

The leading family among the Four Great Families of Capital City!

Countless people had racked their brains trying to establish even a slight connection with the Fu Family, to no avail.

Xia Jinjin, not even a graduate yet, had been invited to dine at the Fu Family’s house… and it was Old Sir Fu who had personally extended the invitation.

Even Chu Jia and Yi Rui couldn’t help but whisper, “Xia Jinjin makes one so envious… She’s like a top-tier character straight out of a novel!”

Su Niannian: …

She couldn’t help but glance at Chi Gui again.

She saw Chi Gui sitting at the edge of the table, his slender fingers holding a cellphone, his dark almond-shaped eyes slightly downturned, his full attention on the phone, paying no heed to the conversation happening around him.

Involuntarily, Su Niannian’s mind wandered back to Chi Gui’s casual mention of “Grandpa Fu”…

The group exchanged a few more words.

“Senior Sister Xia, it’s time to go to the practice room,” the girl sitting next to Xia Jinjin suddenly reminded her.

Xia Jinjin looked down at her watch on her wrist and stood up expressionlessly: “Excuse me, I need to go to the practice room.”

“Practice room?” Jiang Nuan was puzzled, “Is it the place arranged by the organizers for practicing clinical skills? Let’s go together!”

With over half a month until the national competition, the organizers had specially rented the only Medical Simulation Venue in Capital City to allow students to practice freely and avoid getting rusty.

This Medical Simulation Venue, built by the Fu Family’s funding, was unique across the country to Capital City. Due to its vast size and comprehensive equipment for all medical specialties, it was dubbed by medical students as “the dream sanctuary.”

Every year during college entrance exams, everyone struggled to get into Huaxia University, partly because of the university itself, but also because of this always-open Medical Simulation Venue for medical students.

After all, medical studies, unlike other fields, require hands-on practice at any time, any place.

Having such a specialized venue means starting with a considerable advantage over medical students from other regions.

Even Chi Yan was thrilled when she learned she would be going there today.

However, when the female student heard Jiang Nuan’s question, she merely glanced at her with a hint of disdain and said flatly, “Senior Sister Xia is going to the Medical Simulation Venue next door.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone’s gaze at Xia Jinjin turned into outright adoration!

At the time, the Fu Family had constructed two Medical Simulation Venues, spanning over two thousand square meters in total.

Apart from the one open to the public, there was another reserved exclusively for medical geniuses recognized by the Fu Family and the state. This venue boasted the most advanced international tools, instruments, and equipment, which were updated every three months.

It was rumored the construction and equipment for that Medical Simulation Venue alone cost two billion, not to mention the expenses of updating it every three months – it was mind-boggling.

This substantial investment was made to ensure that these medical students could immediately partake in the country’s latest medical research upon graduation.

As a result, the selection criteria were incredibly stringent, demanding exceptional talent, substantial effort, perseverance, and a genuine love for medicine. The number of people recognized by the Fu Family each year was at best one or two, a rarity.

The fact that Xia Jinjin was acknowledged by the Fu Family and allowed to use that venue freely testified to her excellence.

No wonder she had caught the eye of the Fu Family’s second young master.

The crowd was filled with a sour mix of jealousy and admiration as they followed Xia Jinjin out.

Chi Yan and Su Qing were among the few walking in front.

Just as they reached the car, Xia Jinjin suddenly turned and fixed her gaze on Su Qing.
