by a series of urgent knocks from outside.He got out of bed and put on his clothes. Through the window, Xiao Yu found that it was already late at night. Checking his watch, he saw it was past one in t...Chapter 515: Making a Mountain Out of a Molehill
"Dear lady, hello, hello, hehe, thank you for bringing up such a good son! If not for him, my old couple and I would have left with lifelong regrets!"
After hearing Xiao Yu's introduction, Grandma Yang hurriedly walked over two steps and grabbed Xiao Jianying's arm, saying excitedly.
In the past, their family was separated for decades, believing they wouldn't see each other again in this lifetime. Moreover, both of them were doomed to die as determined by her understanding. However, now They were saved by Xiao Yu!
She could feel that she would surely die, and naturally, she could sense the abnormality of the '蠱' (a type of magical creature) she raised. But in the end, he was pulled back from the brink of death. Not only did he save her but also brought her old man back, allowing their family to reunite.
Therefore, her gratitude towards Xiao Yu came from the bottom of her heart and didn't contain any selfish motives.
"You're too kind, Grandma! As a doctor, treating patients is our duty. There's no need for such formality!" Upon hearing what the old lady said, Xiao Jianying chuckled softly.
The Zhong family noticed Xiao Jianying’s demeanor and were slightly stunned; when they first heard about the commotion earlier in the second VIP hall, they thought those involved had never seen the world. However, seeing Xiao Jianying's refined bearing and movements left them feeling conflicted.
"Mrs. Xiao, have we met before Why do you look so familiar to me" Upon spotting Xiao Jianying’s demeanor, Zhong Jianguo was momentarily stunned but then frowned as he asked.
Initially, when he first saw her, she seemed very familiar, and he felt he should know who she was. However, soon enough, the more he looked at Xiao Jianying's face, the less clear it became, and after a while, he felt completely unfamiliar with her.
Zhong Jianguo then realized this must be due to having not seen each other for so long; initially looking familiar but becoming increasingly unfamiliar upon further inspection.
However, now he couldn't remember where exactly they had met. Seeing Xiao Jianying at the moment, she appeared like a complete stranger, yet he knew he must have encountered her before since this feeling was there.
Hearing Zhong Jianguo's words, Xiao Jianying also looked puzzled and tried to recall where she might have met him, but she couldn't remember as she had stayed in Beijing for some time and wasn’t sure when they could have possibly met.
Xiao Jianying looked for a while and confirmed that she had never seen this person before, so she shook her head and said, "I don't think I have! If I had met him, I would definitely remember!"
"Oh!" Zhong Jianguo responded, slightly puzzled but quickly composed himself. He knew it wasn’t the time to dwell on such matters.
Then, the Zhongs greeted Xiao Yu and Lu Jianhong. Although Old Zhong held a high position of power, he didn't put on any airs at this moment. Because he knew that someone like Xiao Ruyu, who could watch him die despite knowing his identity, was beyond control with mere authority.
Therefore, the Zhongs dared not act superior or arrogant in any way; they spoke to them in an equal and even slightly servile tone. Since power didn't work, they had to resort to other means because Xiao Ruyu's medical skills were there for everyone to see. Who could say with certainty that they would never fall ill
Xiao Yu and Lu Jianhong were already accustomed to dealing with such big figures naturally, without any stiffness or restraint. Besides, they didn’t know the identities of the Zhongs at this time.
The Zhongs stayed for a while before inviting Xiao Ruyu's family over to sit down together. Old Zhong invited them in a very enthusiastic manner. Seeing this situation, Xiao Ruyu couldn't refuse and had to inform Wang Junlin and others; then the Xiaos joined the Zhongs at their VIP Room No. 2.
Under the escort of the Zhongs, the Xiaos arrived at the neighboring VIP Room No. 2.
The Director Gu and Director Hu looked on in disbelief as Old Zhong and Zhong Jianguo escorted Xiao Ruyu out from him, leaving them stunned to stand there in the hallway.
Who was Old Zhong One of the Nine Elders before! An existence at the top level nationwide. Such a person actually escorting a young man left them quite uncomfortable.
Suddenly their expressions changed as they turned around and helped open the door for Old Zhong and others, entering first to tidy up the table and chairs. They then picked up the business cards that had been placed on the table and put them in their pockets.
Previously, when they saw Xiao Ruyu’s card stating he was a doctor from an exclusive clinic by the deep sea, even though they didn't know how he got hold of this event's tickets, they weren’t particularly interested as it was just a doctor. Therefore, they had not paid much attention to the business cards on the table.
But after seeing Old Zhong’s family’s attitude, they rushed over to pick up their cards; if they didn't take them now, they wouldn't know where to cry if they were lost later.
When Xiao Ruyu and company settled down, Director Gu and Director Hu personally arranged everything for Old Zhong and his group before leaving. They knew it wasn’t appropriate for them to stay here as they didn’t belong to Old Zhong's people.
After they left the elevator, Director Hu turned around and left. It was Spring Festival, so there couldn't be any mistakes; many things were waiting for him to arrange.
"Director Gu, Director Gu..." After this Director Hu had left, someone suddenly emerged from behind a pillar and started calling out to Director Gu.
"Who are you What do you want" asked Director Gu as he looked at the person.
This person was a man in his thirties. He wasn't bad-looking, but his demeanor gave off an impression of subservience.
"Hello, Director Gu! I'm Zhou Xianren from Sino-US Entertainment Company; my father is Zhou Yibo from the Yan Province Television Station!" The young man walked up to Director Gu and bent over respectfully with a smile as he said this.
"Oh... Old Zhou's son What do you want" After hearing what this young man had to say, Director Gu pondered for a moment before realizing who it was and asking.
"We can't talk here; could we go to your office instead" The young man looked around warily before saying carefully.
Hearing his words, Director Gu didn't speak but turned and left.
This young man understood what was going on after seeing Director Gu's actions and followed him towards his office.
"Alright, what is it" When Director Gu returned to his office and sat down in his boss chair, he took a deep breath before turning to the young man and asking.
He had been truly scared just now. Mr. Zhong was someone who inspired awe and reverence for him, yet he treated Xiao Yu like this. Who exactly was this Xiao Yu Someone with such character wouldn't be a doctor
'Is he stupid Does he have the energy to become a doctor Even the eldest son of the country's top leader couldn't make Mr. Zhong act like that! Forget about his descendants; even the number one leader wouldn’t elicit such behavior from Mr. Zhong. Someone with such character would be smooth sailing no matter what they did, right' With these thoughts in mind, Director Gu’s expression became somewhat dazed.
"Director Gu... Director Gu..." As soon as this young man was about to speak, he noticed that the look on Director Gu's face had become vacant and couldn't help but call out softly.
"Uh... go ahead and speak! I'm listening!" After a moment, Director Gu came to his senses and said this to the young man.
The young man turned around and took out a paper packet from his bag, putting it on Director Gu's desk with a forced smile.
"Take it back. What are you doing" Director Gu glanced at the paper packet and said unhappily.
Instead of taking back the packet, this young man picked it up and put it by Director Gu’s feet before turning around to sit across from him.
Director Gu used his foot to hook the paper packet under the table. "Junior Zhou, if you have something to say, go ahead! If I can help based on my relationship with your father, I'll definitely lend a hand!"
"Uncle Gu, it's like this. Our company has nurtured a new group of talents who were selected by Yanzheng Province to participate in the program at CCTV this year, but we just received notification that they can't appear on the show. Uncle Gu, our company has put in a lot of effort to nurture them. If any of them have offended you, let them perform their act and then apologize to your face! You may do whatever you want with them!"
When this young man heard that Director Gu had changed his address to him, he knew there was likely a good chance for success and thus did not hide anything but spoke up.
Hearing these words, the expression on Director Gu’s face immediately changed. "Comrade, you dropped something!"
It turned out that just now when Director Gu had hooked the paper packet under the table, he actually brought it back out and kicked it to the side.
The young man saw this kicked-out paper packet and was stunned for a moment. "Uncle Gu, this... …"
"Ah, comrade, you're at work now, so please address me by my position!" The young man had just started speaking when Director Gu cut him off.
If the young man still couldn’t tell that something was wrong at this point, then he would be too stupid. He only didn't know where things had gone wrong; everything was fine a moment ago, but how did it all change so suddenly
In fact, Director Gu felt even more depressed than him. He was still figuring out how to deal with the situation when, upon seeing Old Zhong’s attitude toward Xiao Yu, he became too scared to take action, fearing that he might lose something valuable if he tried to gain something trivial.be one!" Xiao Yu shouted out loud when he saw everyone in panic and distress.Perhaps due to his cultivation of the righteous energy訣 (Zheng Qi Jue), there was an invisible sense of righteousness in Xi...
