After an accidental awakening, Shen Jiang learned that she was merely a cannon fodder passerby in a book. As the inheritor of a traditional Chinese medicine family who never had to worry about food...
Chapter 148 The pursuit of dragons, the pursuit of people
Godwin is getting along well with a new human servant these days.
This person always had to prepare rich and delicious meals for him, even if she was a little noisy at times. But seeing that she put so much effort into preparing the meals, Godwin didn't care about such trivial matters.
Ever since Godwin helped her pin down that bastard last time, Lin Yunqing had considered him her own. He was handsome, with a natural aura of superiority, and his every move was captivating. This pretty boy—no, this incredibly gluttonous handsome fellow—may have a bit of a voracious appetite, but he had a healthy sense of morality, and his family's land was filled with rare medicinal herbs. He was a perfect match for Dr. Shen.
Godwin would sometimes come to the canteen alone to cook for himself. When Lin Yun had nothing to do, he would chat with him. During this chat, he discovered that Godwin was actually a giant baby who was lazy and didn't know the difference between grains.
Lin Yunqing looked at him with a complicated look: this person's strengths are obvious, but his weaknesses are even harder to ignore.
Lin Yunqing spoke in a daze, "So you don't have any plans for the future? For example, developing your career? Isn't your hometown rich in medicinal resources?"
Godwin gave the human a nosy look. His words seemed a bit ridiculous to him. Those weeds were precious to them, but to him, they were useless. And why was he condescending to pick them? A mere ant, truly ignorant and fearless.
Lin Yunqing: I see. This guy is a loser, planning to rely on his family's medicinal resources to directly rely on Dr. Shen. In this way, Dr. Shen will have to make money for him and support him... What a vicious capitalist.
Lin Yunqing: "I wonder where you graduated from?"
Godwin said simply and proudly, "Dragon Valley."
Lin Yunqing: “…”
What kind of fake school is this? I've never heard of it. Look at the childish name, it's probably a rural high school.
It's over. This person's fatal flaw: low cultural level.
Lin Yunqing looked at Godwin again, and there was no filter at all. Besides his good looks, what else did this guy have? He had no education, was lazy and gluttonous, and his career depended entirely on his family.
Look at Dr. Shen again. He graduated from a prestigious university, comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, is very capable and has superb medical skills, and most importantly, he has such a good personality.
This guy is not worthy of Doctor Shen at all...
But Lin Yunqing has already regarded Godwin as her own. Just because Godwin helped her last time, she has to give this lazy guy some advice. This guy may have stayed in the mountains for too long and has no sense of being a catfish. He doesn't know that his desire for comfort is not suitable for this society.
Lin Yun cleared his throat: "I think your sense of crisis is still too weak."
Godwin paused, his chopsticks nearly dropping from his grasp due to his lack of practice. He hadn't expected such an ordinary person to dare criticize his sense of crisis. This actually impressed him.
Godwin: "Tell me about it."
Seeing that he was quite motivated, Lin Yunqing hurriedly taught him a lesson: "Your biggest advantage to Doctor Shen right now is your family's medicinal resources, but this is definitely not enough. Over time, you two grew up in different environments and have nothing in common! Doctor Shen looks like a girl with high spiritual pursuits. As for you," Lin Yunqing gave him a look that said "you understand," "To put it nicely, you are content with your lot. To put it bluntly, you have no aspirations, which is very fatal! Over time, it will cause problems!"
Godwin's expression changed from nonchalant to serious. The new servant was very loyal. She was very keenly aware of the biggest problem between him and his believers. They grew up in different environments.
As a high-ranking member of the Dragon Clan, he, as the most ordinary person in this oppressive little world, had completely different perspectives and aspirations. He couldn't quite grasp the weeds the believers treasured, or even her fear of anger over something he'd done. He couldn't quite understand such a minor matter; he couldn't find any reason to be angry. Honestly, he wished the believers would be bolder and ask for something truly precious.
The believer's ideological awareness is not enough, but this cannot be blamed on her. It is the class she belongs to that limits her vision.
Godwin: "You are right."
Lin Yunqing nodded with satisfaction. As long as the child was willing to listen, there was still hope.
"So what are you going to do?"
Godwin stroked his chin with his fingers. "This isn't something that can be accomplished in a short time. I need to think it over carefully."
Lin Yunqing was even more satisfied. This was probably due to his previous growing environment limiting him. In fact, he was still very motivated.
Shen Jiang didn't know that Lin Yunqing and Godwin had had a very deep conversation recently. She just vaguely felt that Godwin always had something to say to her but was hesitant.
Shen Jiang: "Please wait a moment. I have a patient waiting for me here."
The last time the boss asked her to go out and look for the magic tree, and the time before that he asked her to try to find the "boundary of the world". In short, these were all very whimsical and time-consuming outdoor activities, which really gave Shen Jiang a headache.
Why is Lord Black Dragon's thoughts always so difficult to guess?
This wasn't a good way to go on. When people were too idle, they would start to think about random things, and dragons were no exception. She had to give the black dragon, Goldwyn, something to do.
Shen Jiang didn't expect that this opportunity would come so soon.
Actually, it was all thanks to an old acquaintance.
When Zi Ning came to the store, she was not there to see a doctor or to interview Shen Jiang. She came here to shoot in the Mingxin canteen next door.
Actually, the field of Chinese medicine interviews is indeed too niche, so Zining also learned to "make something new", such as herbal health care. Food is the first necessity of the people, and this kind of food-themed video can not only attract the audience, but also unconsciously infiltrate the correct Chinese medicine health care theory into the hearts of the audience. It is more entertaining than looking for a good Chinese medicine doctor.
Zi Ning didn't know Lin Yunqing, and he didn't know that the name of this small canteen and the one next door was not a coincidence. Shen Jiang was one of the bosses behind it.
When Zi Ning was filming Chef He Dayong in the kitchen, his sharp eyes "coincidentally" saw a handsome black-haired man enjoying a whole table of delicious food by himself in the courtyard.
The contrast between his face and figure and the overflowing food on the table was so stark that Zi Ning was stunned again and again. She couldn't even focus on filming the chef anymore. Not only the audience, but even she herself was extremely curious about this handsome guy eating heartily.
"...Will you really not feel full after eating so much?"
Godwin casually glanced at the newcomer and continued to slowly draw on his source of power. That glance carried a sense of oppression that looked down upon the world, causing Zining to unconsciously stop in his tracks.
"Excuse me, I'm a self-media blogger. Today I'm here to take pictures of Mingxin Canteen. Are you a guest here?" Zi Ning immediately introduced himself.
She looked around but couldn't spot any cameras, suggesting this was a staged photoshoot. Zining's curiosity intensified. She had a feeling that if she could get this handsome guy to talk, her video would likely make the front page. Beauty is everything. His every move was effortlessly carefree and relaxed, yet there was no trace of affectation. He simply had a natural allure that made you want to take a second look. He was a true media icon.
Lin Yunqing soon discovered that the girl who had been filming in the kitchen had run into the backyard. She was somewhat displeased with her intrusion. More importantly, Godwin was a good-looking guy who didn't realize it, easily attracting bees and women. He was Shen Jiang's target, so Lin Yunqing naturally wouldn't allow those infatuated girls to mess with him.
"Miss, this is a private area and is not open to photography. If you want to take pictures, go to the restaurant in front." Lin Yunqing said with a serious expression.
Zi Ning: "So this is your boss?"
The real boss, Lin Yunqing: "No."
He's just another boss's good-for-nothing boyfriend.
Zi Ning's eyes sparkled: "Boss lady, I want to interview this handsome guy, is that okay?"
Lin Yunqing: "He has a girlfriend, who is beautiful and capable. He is also very immersed in his meals and doesn't like to be disturbed."
Godwin looked at her with satisfaction; the new servant had good judgment.
Zi Ning blushed and shook his head frantically, "No, you misunderstood. I was just surprised to see him eat such a large table of food despite being so thin."
Lin Yunqing understood, and someone else saw that Godwin was a good-for-nothing.
She turned to look at Godwin: "This guy is here to promote our restaurant. Do you want to be in the photo?"
She thought that Godwin had lived in the mountains for a long time and might not know what it meant to be on camera, so she explained, "You will appear in the video online."
Godwin seemed to understand, but he didn't say anything. His bright golden eyes were ethereal and deep in the sunlight.
Seeing hope, Zi Ning immediately said, "I just want to take some shots of you eating. You look so beautiful while eating, it really whets my appetite."
Godwin understood that this was the way humans wanted to watch him eat.
He was a little surprised that he was still so popular even though he had become a human.
Godwin: "Whatever."
After saying that, he picked up the chopsticks he had just picked up and started eating.
Zi Ning felt a little disappointed with the handsome guy's silence, but she was able to take a few useful shots in the end, which made her feel excited again.
As expected, the shots of Godwin eating stood out in the entire video. With those seemingly ordinary yet healthy dishes in front of him, the blogger's copy immediately became credible.
"Mingxin Canteen, right? Let's make an appointment with my sisters this weekend!"
"Why are we in Nanze City? Why don't we drive to Xijing City? Curse!"
"Does this handsome guy have an account? I really want to watch his eating show."
Zi Ning's premonition was correct. This video really made it to the front page thanks to Godwin's beautiful cover.
Elsewhere, Chen Quan clicked on Zi Ning's video account and happened to see his latest video. The striking male profile on the cover, paired with a dazzling array of dishes, was so striking that Chen Quan dropped his phone. He hadn't expected Zi Ning to find a replacement so quickly, and one so dazzling that he couldn't even begin to match him.
In the Su Group's office building, Chen Songxue was packing her things at her workstation.
A smartly dressed woman stood by her desk, earnestly urging Chen Songxue not to be stubborn. "Don't blame the company for being so harsh on you. Your personal issues have nearly caused irreparable damage to the company recently. It's a relief that the boss isn't holding you accountable."
