Chapter 478: Interested in cooperating?

When Bai Zhi returned home, Ye Tiandong had not yet come back.

She put the clothes to be washed in the washing machine and then boiled water.

Around 4 o'clock, Ye Tiandong finally returned.

It's been almost half a day already; it shouldn't have taken this long to deliver someone's package.

"Uncle, you're only arriving from the train station now?"

Ye Tiandong replied, "No, I went to the renovation worker's place to check on the materials."

Ye Tiandong explained the styles of decoration materials to Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi nodded with satisfaction, "It will definitely look fashionable and trendy if it's dressed like this."

"Uncle, don't forget that my grandpa and the others invited you to their house for dinner tonight," she reminded Ye Tiandong.

Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Ye Tiandong glanced at her and said, "Why do you think Old Master Lu insists on inviting me to dinner? There's nothing important to discuss."

On such a cold day, after running around outside, all I want to do is sleep.

"It's just a simple home-cooked meal, nothing more. After all, you've come to Nancheng, and they feel it would be impolite not to invite you to dinner."

Bai Zhi explained, "They want to come here, but my place is deserted, and you are busy outside during the day with irregular hours, so you can't come to visit."

"We just wanted you to come to our home for a visit, so we could reconnect with our relatives."

Ye Tiandong had to admit, "To be honest, Old Lu is really a warm-hearted old man."

If he doesn't agree to go, he will come and invite me in person.

“Okay, go ahead then,” Ye Tiandong said. “Remember to remind me to buy something when you leave.”

"Wait a minute, there's something else I need to tell you."

Bai Zhi looked at Ye Tiandong and said happily, "Zhou Lin wrote a letter saying that she and my grandfather might be able to come back for the New Year."

"Oh." Ye Tiandong's reaction was indifferent.

Bai Zhi ignored his indifference and continued to lament, "Uncle, if I leave and my grandfather really comes back for the New Year, where will he go?"

Ye Tiandong remained indifferent, saying, "Go wherever you want."

"If you chat like that, you'll easily lose all your friends."

Ye Tiandong, “???”

Bai Zhi got up angrily and went out, saying, "I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to hang up the laundry."

Ye Tiandong sat there, drinking water, lost in thought.

If he really comes back for the Chinese New Year, how should he treat him?

He quickly shook his head, stood up, and refused to think about the problem anymore.

We'll live the same way we did all these years.

After hanging up the clothes, Bai Zhi came back and started nagging again, "My grandfather might stay in his courtyard in the alley when he comes back, and I haven't had time to clean it."

She muttered to herself, "Fine, let it be. Let him come back and clean it himself. I can't control him anymore. Even my own son doesn't care about him, so why should I?"

She didn't bring it up again, and seeing that it was almost time, she said...

"Uncle, let's go. It's just in time for lunch."

Ye Tiandong didn't say anything, but followed her out and bought some gifts at a shop on the street.

When they arrived at the military compound, Lu Zheng'an had already returned, and Grandpa Lu warmly welcomed him.

"Mr. Ye, you are welcome to come to my home."

Seeing the things Ye Tiandong was carrying, Lu Zheng'an took them and said, "You're too kind. We're all family."

"Just a small token of my appreciation."

Grandpa Lu pulled him into the house and explained with a smile, "I originally said I would invite you to eat at a restaurant, but Xiao Zhi said that since you own a restaurant, you're tired of eating out and prefer home-style cooking. So, I took the liberty of arranging it at home."

"Thank you all for your help."

At this moment, Xie Yun saw her daughter-in-law and first pulled her aside to express her apology, "Xiao Zhi, I'm really sorry, my company organized training recently, and I haven't had time to come and see you."

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Mom, I'm fine. You can focus on your work."

Aunt Zhang was making dumplings, and Xie Yun went to help, with Bai Zhi following behind.

Bai Zhi liked this about Xie Yun; she never put on airs.

Whenever guests come to the house and there are many people eating, Zhang Ma prepares a sumptuous meal, and she will help Zhang Ma to ensure that the guests are well entertained.

"Please sit down, let's have a good talk."

Lu Zheng'an and his grandfather sat down on the sofa with Ye Tiandong and began exchanging pleasantries.

Lu Hai also sat down.

Everyone expressed their admiration upon learning that Ye Tiandong had expanded his business to the southern part of the city.

Grandpa Lu also expressed his attitude very positively and enthusiastically, "Tian Dong, if you have any difficulties, just tell us. After all, our family lives in the south of the city and is familiar with the environment. We can ask them to run errands for you."

Ye Tiandong smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll ask everyone for help if needed."

"Uncle." Lu Hai sat down next to Ye Tiandong, quite warmly and affectionately, "I'll call you Uncle just like my cousin-in-law does."

He asked with a smile, "You own several restaurants now, have you ever thought about switching to something else?"

"Hmm?" Ye Tiandong looked at Lu Hai and chuckled, "What brilliant idea do you have, Boss Lu?"

Lu Hai spoke with great interest, "Investing in nightclubs? That's the hottest entertainment industry right now."

Upon hearing Lu Hai's words, Ye Tiandong recalled seeing Lu Hai at the nightclub the previous night.

He wasn't just playing around?

It even includes an inspection tour?

It has to be said that, as business owners, everyone has the same market insight.

Their sense of smell is always more acute than that of ordinary people.

"Uncle, are you interested in investing together?" Lu Hai looked at Ye Tiandong, calling him "uncle" repeatedly, his eyes full of anticipation.

Hopefully, the two of them can reach a consensus on this and make money together.

Before Ye Tiandong could speak, Old Master Lu interrupted him, "Xiao Hai, don't be silly."

Upon hearing Lu Hai's words, Old Master Lu's expression immediately turned stern, and his tone became displeased, "What kind of nightclub is this? Is that a respectable business? Boss Ye is a man of great things, he doesn't have time to fool around with you, and he's not afraid of being laughed at."

Seeing Old Master Lu's attitude, Ye Tiandong swallowed his words.

He simply responded with a polite smile.

Xie Yun was helping in the kitchen, and Lu Shan was also called back from the hospital by the old man.

After not seeing her for several days, Lu Shan looked haggard and tired, clearly having worked very hard lately.

Every time Xie Yun saw her daughter dragging her tired body home, she felt very sorry for her and her heart ached.

But there's nothing I can say.

Given the nature of Lu Shan's job, she couldn't persuade her to rest more.

Their surgical staff are constantly performing surgeries, often handling emergency surgeries, so they simply can't get any rest.

What pained her even more was that her daughter was so busy with work, and there was no one around to care for her.

She always shared good news with her family and never told them anything bad; she rarely talked about her feelings.

Bai Zhi went into the kitchen to see if anyone could help, and Lu Shan followed her in. Xie Yun and Zhang Ma were making dumplings. She smiled and said to Bai Zhi, "Xiao Zhi, we'll go into the kitchen. You go and chat with your sister."

Xie Yun noticed that Lu Shan and Bai Zhi talked quite a lot when they were together.

Also, because they are all doctors, they have common topics to talk about.
