Hearing her say that, Ma Ren smiled even more brightly.
"Good, good, good, this is my good granddaughter, the most skilled female TCM doctor in the Ma family."
Ma Dingdang stomped his foot.
"I'm now a practitioner of both traditional Chinese and Western medicine, not traditional Chinese medicine anymore. Grandpa, you should have dinner with Grandpa Shen and the others. I'll head back now!"
Turning to look at Chu Xiao, her voice deepened: "Also, I promised to help you save people before adding you on WeChat. Let's agree beforehand that you won't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary."
Chu Xiao was completely stumped.
Although Ma Dingdang is indeed a beautiful woman, at first he really just wanted to sell antiques to Chairman Shen to make some money.
Later, seeing her excellent medical skills, he changed his strategy and only wanted her to save people.
Where would I have such a lewd thought?
But there was no time to explain, as Ma Dingdang had already left the private room in his black leather boots.
Once she was out of sight, Ma Ren quickly poured Chu Xiao a glass of red wine and apologized to him with a smile.
"Come on, Mr. Chu, don't take it personally with Dingdang. Try this red wine. I specially had someone bring it back from abroad. I guarantee you won't find more than a few bottles like it in the entire S City."
"Mr. Chu, how old are you? Where do you live? Who else is in your family? What industry are you in now?"
Chu Xiao: ...
No wonder Ma Dingdang was inexplicably angry. It turns out that Chairman Shen and Ma Ren were not only here to freeload off the antique business, but also to set Ma Dingdang up on a blind date.
And he was inexplicably tricked by Chairman Shen into becoming Ma Dingdang's blind date?!
This joke has really gone too far.
Fortunately, the meal was quite enjoyable.
Just as Chu Xiao was parting ways with Chairman Shen, Grandpa Chen suddenly called, saying that the farm was on fire and the fire and rescue department had all arrived, urging him to hurry back and take a look.
Chu Xiao was dumbfounded.
He had just reminded Grandpa Chen to be careful with fire before he left, so how could it have burned down after just one meal?
Without thinking twice, he quickly drove to the farm.
From afar, thick smoke could be seen billowing from the farm, with countless firefighters holding water cannons and surrounding the farm's warehouse.
Grandpa Chen stood at the door, his entire body covered in black soot, pacing anxiously.
Seeing Chu Xiao's car stop, he hurriedly came to greet him.
"Chu Xiao, this really isn't my fault! The fire started from inside, so I went home to cook a bowl of noodles, and when I came out I saw that the fire had burned through your roof."
Seeing his face covered in soot and his body covered in coal dust, Chu Xiao knew he was definitely not lying, so he patted him on the shoulder.
"It's alright, I'm just glad you're safe! Have you found the cause of the fire?"
Grandpa Chen nodded.
"The fire department said it was probably caused by too much phosphorus in the coal briquettes."
"The phosphorus content is too high?" Chu Xiao asked, somewhat puzzled.
This wasn't his first time buying coal from a coal briquette factory; the factory owner was generally reliable.
Last time I bought a larger quantity and the sunlight was stronger, but this didn't happen.
How could it spontaneously combust this time?
Thinking about it, he rushed to the fire truck and asked the fire chief.
"Hello, I'm the farmer. Are you sure this fire was caused by excessive phosphorus content in the coal briquettes?"
The fire chief picked up two briquettes from the vehicle, also looking puzzled:
"You've come back just in time. We salvaged some intact coal briquettes from the pile that hadn't been completely burned, but after testing, we found that some of them had excessive phosphorus content, while others didn't."
"So my personal suggestion is that you go to the coal briquette factory and ask. If it is really that the coal briquettes themselves are of poor quality, you can ask the factory manager for compensation through legal channels."
Looking at the warehouse reduced to ruins, Chu Xiao was about to explode.
The fire not only caused him tens of millions in losses, but also burned down his farm warehouse. If it weren't for the lake separating the two areas, the mountain would probably have burned down as well.
Setting fire to the mountain is a capital offense, and of course he'd have to ask about it!
