Dali glanced at the card Aunt Hong handed over and shook his head, "You can't pay by credit card here."
Aunt Hong was stunned. "Can't pay by card?" She glanced at the food window not far away and asked, "Then how do you usually get your food?"
Dali explained, "The food in the cafeteria is limited. Everyone comes to get food at mealtime. It's free, but each person can only get one portion."
The key point is that they have no money, because this group of newcomers are all orphans who have just arrived here. For them, having a place to shelter from the wind and rain is already very good.
An Ci was about to ask what the limit was when he heard Dali say, "If you want to pay by card, you have to go to the cafeteria on the third floor."
An Ci looked puzzled, "Is there a difference in the cafeteria?"
He nodded vigorously, "Newcomers can only eat in the cafeteria on the second floor. Only instructors are allowed to go up to the third floor."
An Ci pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze and looked up at Aunt Hong, "Aunt Hong, I'm hungry. I want to eat on the third floor."
Aunt Hong thought about how much she had just run and thought she was really hungry. She said, "Then don't run around. Wait here for me. I'll go to the third floor to get some food."
An Ci said "hmm".
Aunt Hong left, looking back every few steps. As soon as she was far away, An Ci turned his head and looked at Dali, "Big brother, you should go get some food too. When Aunt Hong comes back, we can take turns eating."
Eat in turn?
Dali gave her a strange look and reminded her, "The food here is different from the third floor."
Not to mention the quality of the food, whether you can fill your stomach is a problem.
An Ci grinned, "I know." Then she urged him to go get the food quickly.
Dali sighed helplessly and walked towards the food window with his plate.
An Ci found a chair and sat down. After a while, Dali came back after getting his meal.
He put the plate on the table. An Ci looked down and paused.
That’s it?
Stir-fried vegetables with meat, but only a small piece of meat?
Tomato and egg soup, you only see the tomatoes and it's hard to find the egg foam.
Then there was a bowl of white rice and a sweet potato, that was all.
She looked up at Dali who was sitting across from her and asked, "Is this what you eat at noon every day?"
Dali, "Yeah."
She then asked, "So what do you eat for breakfast and dinner?"
"Breakfast is two steamed buns, and dinner is about the same as lunch." Daliren is honest and will not lie. He answers almost everything she asks.
An Ci frowned and immediately understood why those teenagers fainted.
With such high-intensity training, I can’t even fill my stomach. It would be strange if I didn’t faint from hunger.
An Ci couldn't help but think of the incident in his previous life when the kitchen manager in Yaowang Valley secretly withheld people's food, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
Just then, Aunt Hong came back with a tray of food.
There were four dishes and a soup, including braised pork and fried chicken legs. Dali's eyes widened when he saw it, and he swallowed his saliva.
"Gurgle..."
Dali's stomach started to play the empty city trick again.
An Ci raised his lips and pushed the plate towards Dali, "Big brother, you eat."
Dali was stunned and looked at her doubtfully, "Do you really want to switch with me?"
An Ci shook his head, "I'm suddenly not hungry anymore. You can eat both meals."
Aunt Hong glanced at Dali, then looked at her young master, and suddenly understood something.
Happiness came so suddenly that Dali was a little bit hesitant to believe it. "Give it all to me?"
An Ci smiled and nodded, once again feeling that this kid was too easy to satisfy. A meal could make him so happy.
Dali picked up the chopsticks and asked, "Then I'll eat it?"
Seeing his cautious look, An Ci smiled helplessly, "Eat."
Remembering that she had been out for quite a while, An Ci jumped off the stool and said, "Take your time eating. We're leaving first."
Upon hearing this, Dali swallowed the braised pork in his mouth and said hurriedly, "Thank you."
An Ci waved his hand and then pulled Aunt Hong away.
After they walked away, Dali slowly remembered that he had not asked the other person's name. He slapped his head in annoyance.
After coming out of the cafeteria, An Ci was about to go back. When she passed by the infirmary, a white figure ran past her stealthily.
It was the middle-aged man I had just seen in the infirmary.
"Young Master, we..."
"Shh." An Ci raised his eyes and looked at Aunt Hong, pointing his white and tender finger towards the corridor.
Then she pulled Aunt Hong closer.
"I know. Don't keep pushing me. I already said I'll pay you back. The money allocated to the infirmary for medicine won't be transferred until tomorrow. I'll transfer it to you then."
The corridor was quiet. The middle-aged man spoke in a low voice, but it was still clear enough to hear.
"Don't worry, no one will find out. It would be a waste to give those expensive drugs to those people in the training ground. Just like before, we can just use a batch of inferior drugs to replace them."
Substandard medicine?
Isn’t that fake medicine?
An Ci's eyes turned cold. How could such a damn guy be qualified to be a doctor?
Fuck you.
He doesn't even have basic medical ethics.
Not only was she angry, but Aunt Hong also looked solemn. She didn't expect that there would be such a scum in the manor who could do such a wicked thing.
If everyone in the training ground used fake drugs, their health would be ruined in the long run. Then, who would protect the personal safety of the head of the family and the safety of everyone in the entire manor?
No, she must report this problem to the head of the family after she returns.
Afraid of alerting the enemy, Aunt Hong leaned over and picked up An Ci, whispering, "Young Master, let's go."
An Ci nodded, and the two of them left quietly.
…
evening.
When Zeng Liang came to get the documents, An Zhenxiong had just finished his official business.
"Master, there's a dinner party in half an hour, you..."
"Turn it off."
An Zhenxiong pinched his sore brows, and his expression softened instantly when he thought of the little girl who would act coquettishly with him.
Zeng Liang was stunned, thinking there was something wrong with his ears, "Turn it off?"
The guests attending tonight's dinner are all group bosses, who have cooperated with the An family, so it is quite important.
An Zhenxiong nodded and said, "Xiao Ci is still waiting for me to have dinner together. You take care of the dinner party." After giving the order, he left without looking back under Zeng Liang's surprised and resentful gaze.
“…”
No way, just to have a meal with the young master, he stood up several group bosses?
…
The living room was brightly lit. As soon as An Zhenxiong stepped into the living room, he saw his little grandson curled up on the sofa, watching cartoons with relish.
Aunt Hong sat next to her, picking up a blueberry and putting it into her mouth from time to time.
An Zhenxiong raised his eyebrows. The little guy really knew how to enjoy himself.
"Oh."
A low, faint laugh immediately caught An Ci's attention. She turned around and when she saw the person standing at the door, her eyes lit up and she jumped off the sofa.
"Grandpa."
She opened her arms and ran towards An Zhenxiong.
An Zhenxiong was stunned. Before he could react, a pair of small hands hugged his thighs. The next second, he heard the little guy's voice softly calling him, "Grandpa, hug me."
As soon as she started to act coquettishly and cute, An Zhenxiong was at his wit's end and quickly reached out and picked her up.
