The trip to the Chi family has not yet been completed, and Bai Zhi has been so worried for the past two days that her hair has turned a few gray.
Moreover, there was no one around her to discuss the matter these past two days.
For some unknown reason, Gu Liangjiang suddenly left the country.
Gu Kangtai has been very busy these days and cannot be reached by phone.
As she hesitated and tossed about, an idea flashed through her, and she suddenly thought of someone.
——Grandpa Li of Xishan Sanatorium!
Thinking of Grandpa Li, Bai Zhi's heart beat twice.
It's hard to contain my excitement.
Before Grandpa Li retired, he was at the deputy state level. Except for ordinary people on the news network, there was no big shot that they could not reach.
When she was young, because of her grandfather's partiality, she always took Lu Xixin to the nursing home to visit Grandpa Li.
For his grandfather's sake, Grandpa Li took great care of Lu Xixin and even took care of her personally for several years.
The reason why Lu Xixin was able to meet the internationally renowned violin master was because of Grandpa Li's help.
Not knowing what came to mind, Bai Zhi pinched her fingertips into her palms and took a deep breath.
After a while, my mood gradually calmed down.
It’s different, everything is different!
Bai Zhi told herself.
She is no longer the little girl who stood at the door and stared at Lu Xixin's back.
Now she is the head of the Gu family.
Grandpa Li will give her face, receive her personally, and will never set his sights on Lu Xixin again, even for the slightest bit.
After changing into decent clothes, Bai Zhi prepared some gifts and decided to go to Xishan Sanatorium in person.
The location of the sanatorium is very remote, some distance from the city.
Bai Zhi drove for nearly two hours before arriving at the gate.
The guard at the door saw a car approaching and waved his hand to stop it.
"Where's the pass? You can't enter without a pass!"
Bai Zhi rolled down the window and explained with a smile: "Hello, I'm here to visit Grandpa Li. I'm from the Gu family, please let me know."
The guard shook his head: "Sorry, you can't enter without a pass."
Bai Zhi was anxious, how could she not be allowed in? When Lu Xixin came here before, she never had a pass. She just took a taxi and came here casually.
"I am the head of the Gu family, the miraculous doctor of the Gu family." Bai Zhi emphasized, "Comrade, please let me know. Grandpa Li will let me in as soon as he hears."
The security guard was of good quality. Although he felt that Bai Zhi was a bit unruly and entangled, he still explained in a good manner: "I'm sorry, miss, you can't enter without a pass. You can call and ask someone inside to come out to pick you up."
Bai Zhi: "..."
If there was a phone, how could she not call?
Bai Zhi felt that this little guard was too arrogant. Not only did he not report it, he didn't even know about it.
In the early years, grandpa often came here, but in recent years, he stopped coming here.
It's only been five or six years, and the guards no longer recognize people.
I lingered at the door for a long time, but finally didn't go in.
Bai Zhi was so angry that she slapped the steering wheel and returned angrily.
Halfway through, he felt unwilling to give up, so he turned back and forced a piece of paper to the guard, which said Bai Zhi, the head of the Gu family, and her phone number.
"Please, comrade, be sure to send the note in."
Bai Zhi clasped her hands together and bowed to the guard before leaving.
After Bai Zhi left, the guard took the note and hesitated for a while before reporting it to his superiors.
After receiving the news, the superior immediately contacted Mr. Li's life secretary.
"Patriarch of the Gu family?" The secretary frowned upon hearing this, "What age is it? There is also the head of the family, the patriarch. I don't know him, so throw it away."
It happened that Grandpa Li came back from a walk in the yard and heard his secretary calling, so he asked: "What's going on?"
The secretary explained: "Mr. Li, someone slipped in a note saying he was the head of the Gu family."
The head of the Gu family?
Grandpa Li also frowned, then shook his head: "I've never heard of it, are these four words the only thing?"
"There is also the word Bai Zhi, and the rest is the mobile phone number."
"Baizhi!" Grandpa Li frowned.
Why does this name sound so familiar?
It seemed like someone had told him about it, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out the reason.
Forget it, don't think about it, he's probably not an important person.

Gu Kangtai thought that Bai Zhi would give up introducing the life-saving drug on the day of the banquet if he could not get the drug identification report and clinical trial approval document.
Unexpectedly, she insisted on going her own way and still insisted on her original plan.
"Are you crazy?" Gu Kangtai was so angry that his whole body was shaking. "How dare you introduce this kind of three-nothing drug in front of so many people? The Gu family is shameless, but we, Kangtai Pharmaceutical, need to have a good reputation?"
Bai Zhi tilted her head, rubbed her brows, and spoke slowly after a long while: "Tomorrow is the banquet, where elites from all walks of life will gather, and even media reporters have invited some. If I can't come up with any shocking medicine that day, who will
Take the Gu family seriously!"
Speaking of this, Bai Zhi's tone suddenly worsened: "My medical skills are not as good as those of grandpa. In the past, only when grandpa was around did the outside world sell the Gu family's reputation. Now I have just obtained the Gu family's magic needle. It will take at least two years to master it.
Two years sounds like a short time, but it goes by very quickly.
But it was enough to cause the Gu family to decline, from being famous to being unknown!"
Gu Kangtai was silent and looked struggling.
Seeing this, Bai Zhi sighed and continued: "Second Grandpa, it's not that I want to take risks, but the Gu family has reached a point where they have to take risks. Only when my reputation increases, Kangtai Pharmaceutical will be better off."
Gu Kangtai sighed and finally agreed.
However, he had a condition: "After the banquet, the life-saving drug must undergo clinical trials as soon as possible, and it cannot be released until the identification report is obtained."
"Don't worry, I'm not an ignorant person." Bai Zhi said, "I'm also afraid of something happening. It's not easy for the Gu family to get to where they are today. I can't ruin the reputation of the Gu family for hundreds of years."
Gu Kangtai nodded: "Okay, as long as you have an idea."
——
Zhao family
Mother Lu was rubbing her mother, Mrs. Zhao: "Mom, just take me there."
"No." Mrs. Zhao refused flatly, her face ugly, "Tomorrow, you will stay at home and you are not allowed to go anywhere."
"Mom——" Mother Lu was helpless.
She had been grinding for several days, but her mother would not let go and would not take her to the Gu family's banquet.
She really wanted to go to the Gu family's banquet and see Xi Xin.
Unfortunately, the Lu family did not receive the invitation, so she had no choice but to come and beg her mother.
"Mom." Mother Lu sat next to Mrs. Zhao, rested her chin on her shoulder, and murmured in a low voice like she did when she was a child: "I haven't seen Xixin for a long time, and I know that everything that happened before was all my fault.
, it’s my fault, it’s my bias that hurts Xixin.”
Speaking of this, Mother Lu paused, seeming to suppress the sudden emotion.
After a long time, she finally spoke in a hoarse voice: "Mom, please, I really want to see her and apologize to her in person."
After all, she was her biological daughter, and Mrs. Zhao could not defeat her in the end.
He nodded and agreed: "As promised, I will take you there, but you must not mention Yaqing, let alone plead for her."
"Yeah." Mother Lu buried her head low, covering the thoughts in her eyes, and said in an erratic tone, "I can't."
