Oliver Fang frowned. How dare this commoner ignore him?
"Are you okay?" Long Hui asked.
Yu Qi was speechless. Why did Long Hui ask that question?
"Hey... You..." Oliver Fang tried to get these two people's attention.
"Why are you still here?" Long Hui turned and asked the question.
"You! You should feel grateful that I came to your booth. Otherwise, no one would come to this kind of booth." Oliver Fang berated Yu Qi and Long Hui.
Yu Qi looked at Oliver Fang up and down, like she was looking at an idiot. Oliver Fang seemed to be offended by the looks given by Yu Qi.
"How dare you look at me like that, you mute?" Oliver Fang shouted at Yu Qi.
The people began to look in their direction. Oliver Fang smirked as he got some people's attention. He did not know that people were looking at him.
The organiser staff rushed over to smooth things out.
"Sir, what is the problem here?" The staff asked.
"These two people ignored me when I was trying to ask about this research." Oliver Fang pointed at Yu Qi and Long Hui.
"Doctor Tang, is it true?" The staff asked Yu Qi.
Oliver Fang thought the person that the staff was referring to was Long Hui. However, to his surprise, he heard the young girl answer the staff's question.
"He insulted me by calling me mute and deaf. Why should I engage with someone like that? He should learn his manners first before talking to someone." Yu Qi said.
"You... You... You are not mute?" Oliver Fang pointed his finger at Yu Qi.
"See..." Yu Qi gave a look at the staff before turning back to Oliver Fang. "Who tells you that I am mute?"
"It is you. Yesterday..."
"My throat was hurt yesterday. So, I was not able to talk. When I tried to explain, after knowing that I can not talk, you cut me off and you assumed that I was a mute." Yu Qi stated.
"Why don't you try harder, then?" Oliver Fang retorted.
"Excuse me, do we know each other? We just met at the airport yesterday. You came to us being so friendly. Then, you found out that I can not talk, and you left just like that. Why do you think I should try to explain to someone that I have no connection whatsoever? That is a ridiculous thought." Yu Qi stated.
Oliver Fang did not know how to respond to that statement. "Humph! Such ridiculous research. Who would want something like that?" Then, he left.
Yu Qi scoffed. "I don't know how this person got his position."
"Probably through the connection." Long Hui said.
"Maybe I need to remind Grandpa Feng and Feng Yue about this person." Yu Qi said.
Oliver Fang did not know that he might lose his position.
The first day of the research conference ended like that. Yu Qi and Long Hui returned to the hotel room. After changing their clothes, they headed out. They were heading to the night market.
One of the people who visited her booth told them about this night market, which was not far from the hotel where they were currently staying. Yu Qi became interested to come and see what kind of night market the locals had here.
Yu Qi and Long Hui were dressed up casually. Since the distance was not that far, both of them decided to walk over to the night market. The night market was lively. Yu Qi pulled Long Hui entering the night market. First, they needed to fill their stomach.
After finding what they could eat, they sat at the prepared table. Yu Qi ordered the food. Not long after that, the owner came over, bringing the food to their table.
"Enjoy yourself." The owner put the food on the table. "You are a very good-looking couple. Where do you come from?"
"We are from Binhai Nation." Yu Qi answered.
"Owh... That country. I have a daughter who studies there. I think her university is Sta... Starlight. She studies medicine." The owner said.
"Really? Then, I am her fellow alumna. I also studied the same course at the same university, but I already graduated a few years ago." Yu Qi said.
"Oh... Really? Can I take your picture together? I want to send it to her." The owner said.
"Sure." Yu Qi nodded
The owner took out her phone and snapped a picture of Yu Qi and Long Hui inside. She showed the picture to Yu Qi.
"Look... You are very photogenic. The picture turns out nice." The owner said.
"It must be your skill, Auntie." Yu Qi said.
The owner laughed. I will send the picture to her right now. I think right now, it must be morning at her place." The owner said.
"You must be hungry... Please enjoy your meal." The owner said.
Yu Qi and Long Hui started to eat.
"Do you want to drink?" Yu Qi asked.
"No need." Long Hui rejected Yu Qi's offer.
"It is okay if you want to drink." Yu Qi stated.
"It's fine." Long Hui shook his head, continuing to eat.
Both of them enjoyed the meal. The owner received a reply message from her daughter. The daughter was surprised to see a famous person at her mother's stall. She told her mother that woman was a very famous doctor and successful business woman at Binhai Nation.
