After all, it is against the rules and regulations for drug companies to establish connections and enter hospitals directly. The polite conversation was almost over, and everyone began to enjoy the fine wine and delicious food. During the meal, there were people who would initiate conversations with Kaleb, and he would respond to every sentence, being very gracious and polite.
I had not yet adapted to such a grand occasion and did not understand the art of socializing, so I quietly began to eat dinner. When the waiter was pouring drinks for everyone, he brought a glass of red wine to me. I hadn’t even realized it, but Kaleb had already reached out and taken the red wine, saying to the waiter, “Give her a glass of
freshly squeezed orange juice.”
“Okay,” the waiter responded.
I turned my head to look at him, feeling a warmth in my heart. He was clearly talking to the previous dean, but he was still able to pay attention to the drink the waiter brought to me. He was lively and cheerful at the dining table, exuding the calm charm of a mature man. His smile was warm and attractive, and he carried himself with grace
and ease.
Kaleb caught a glimpse of me staring blankly and leaned closer to me, “Is there something on my face?”
My face grew warm, and I quickly averted my gaze, lowering my head to take a bite of the meat in my bowl. I shook my head and replied softly, “No.”
Kaleb leaned towards me, getting very close, his hot breath blowing on my cheek, his magnetic voice gentle and low, murmuring, “Don’t be too reserved, eat a little more.”
I nodded, “Hmm.”
At this moment, an old dean walked over to Kaleb, holding a glass of wine. Kaleb quickly stood up, holding his own glass, and politely conversed with him, making small talk and cracking jokes, but avoiding any discussion of business.
I finished eating, put down my fork, and wiped my mouth. At that moment, the middle–aged woman sitting next to me engaged in conversation, “Ms. Larson, I have heard Mr. Barton mentioning Verve Biomedical Corp. Are you the corporate representative of Verve Biomedical and also responsible for research and development?”
I politely nodded, “Yes, Director Qin.”
“Youthful and promising!” Director Qin sighed, “But it seems like our hospital has never come across Verve Biomedical’s medication.”
“Verve Biomedical was founded by me, and it has been four years since then. The scale is not large, and the brand influence is also insufficient. Therefore, many times we cannot even step into the threshold of hospitals.”
At this moment, a middle–aged man nearby poked his head out and said, “If it’s a good medicine, there is no distinction of high or low in the hospital.”
