"I eat meat every day," Zhu Yanyi said. She picked up a roasted wing and took a bite. The wings were made from turkey, so they were very large. That was why she had half a lemon. Lemon makes food taste better and helps you want to eat more.
"You only ate fish fillets these past two days. That is not meat," Gu Jingtian said directly.
"Fish fillets have fish meat. Fish meat is also animal meat," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "Besides, I am not picky. I just didn't like some tastes, so I chose fish. But this roast meat is good today. It has cumin flavor. Smell it if you don't believe me."
Gu Jingtian smelled it and laughed. "It really smells like cumin."
"I brought this specially from China," a familiar voice said. It was Cole.
"Cole, long time no see," Gu Jingtian greeted him.
"Long time no see, Mr. Gu, Miss Zhu, Mr. Dong, and everyone else," Cole said with a smile. "I was so happy to know you were coming to this medical exchange conference. So I specially provided this cumin for them. Everyone likes this taste."
"This really troubles you, Mr. Cole," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "It seems you have been doing well lately."
"After returning to Country Y from China, I kept thinking about the traditional Chinese medicine you mentioned. I wonder if you will bring me a surprise this time," Cole said with a smile.
Zhu Yanyi chewed her wing and looked at Cole. "Mr. Cole, are you the representative for Country Y?"
"No, no, no," Cole shook his head, denying it repeatedly. "I am a staff member of the International Medical Association. I am in charge of the dining arrangements for you this time."
So that was it. No wonder he could put cumin on turkey. "Thank you, Mr. Cole. I haven't eaten such delicious wings in days."
"I am glad you like it," Cole said with a smile. "But Miss Zhu, have you thought about joining the International Medical Association? There are many skilled doctors in our association. You can exchange more medical skills with them."
Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "Why are you telling me this, Mr. Cole? All associations have age limits. I am not old enough yet."
"You shouldn't say that," Cole looked at Zhu Yanyi, disagreeing. "We know your ability. Actually, you can join the association as an exception."
Zhu Yanyi chuckled and made an excuse. "Let's talk about that later. I think I am still too young. I need a guardian to sign documents sometimes. So this is fine for now."
Gu Jingtian glanced at Zhu Yanyi. She chuckled in her heart but did not expose her thoughts. This International Medical Association sounded good, but it had bad sides. The people inside were too self-righteous. If Zhu Yanyi joined, she would likely be bullied. It was better to wait.
Gu Jingtian’s thoughts differed from Zhu Yanyi’s. Zhu Yanyi thought any international medical association was just icing on the cake for her. Without these so-called associations, she might act more freely. Once joined, it would be like putting a tight spell on herself.
