Chapter 458 I heard that other departments are praising you
"See? This is Canteen No. 1, the farthest one, the largest one. The portions are generous, but the food isn't great. In front of it is Canteen No. 3, the closest to where I live, but the food is just average. I like the private canteen No. 4 the best, old man. It's a bit pricey, but the food is delicious. I'll take you there for lunch today."
Zhou Paopi kept introducing the various buildings and functions of the huge villa area to Jingshu, acting as if he was the host here. This completely dampened Li Yuetian's arrogance in demanding supplies, and he even felt a little uneasy. How about getting the supplies back through this person?
Only then did Jingshu know that the old man Zhou Paopi mentioned, Jin Baba's father, was named Jin Tianci, which means "son of Tianci", and he was weak and sickly since childhood. It was said that Jin Tianci's father-in-law was willing to marry his beloved daughter because Jin Tianci had saved their family, and his beloved daughter was madly infatuated with the gentle and talented Jin Tianci.
The villa areas are all similar, but the one Jin Tianci lives in is obviously much more upscale. Its size alone is equivalent to that of six or seven villas in the surrounding area, and it is almost the same as a manor. The decoration is retro and eye-catching. The all-mahogany furniture is antique and somewhat solemn. Maybe this person is an antique.
This large manor is more in line with Jin Tianci's current status in terms of identity. You should know that the residences of county magistrates in ancient times were calculated by mu, and the value of the person in power in Wucheng is reflected there.
The interior of the villa is very large, as bright and retro as a hotel lobby. Jin Tianci is lying on the medical bed in the living room. Several nannies and nurses are busy working. It is a bit depressing, like an old rich man before his death, with everyone eager to fight for his property but having to cover their faces with tears.
But if there was one person who was really sad, it must be Mrs. Jin.
When Jingshu actually saw the real person, she was surprised that the person in the film and television works really existed. He was a very gentle and elegant man wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, with a middle-parted hairstyle and wearing a gray Zhongshan suit.
"It really feels like a young handsome man from the Republic of China period has turned into a charming middle-aged uncle!"
Although Jin Tianci, who was lying unconscious in bed, had a pale face and was very thin, his natural and gentle smile made people feel that spring had come. No wonder Mrs. Jin chose to marry him back then. His appearance and temperament were both perfectly grasped. When Jingshu saw Jin Tianci, she couldn't help but think of Chen Kun in film and television dramas. They had a very similar temperament.
Li Yuetian was a little nervous. He hadn't expected things to go so smoothly, beyond his imagination. What should he say next? He couldn't just say, "Your son took advantage of your death, when you were still the highest official in Wucheng, to steal a lot of people's supplies, including the one million in sponsored supplies I raised and the supplies this person next to him brought from the United States. Even if you are dying, you can't let your son do such evil things."
Unlike Li Yuetian's entanglement, Zhou Paopi never stopped talking, and kept telling Jingshu about Jin Tianci's condition, as if Jingshu was there to take over the treatment. However, when Jingshu sent a message to ask just now, she did ask about Jin Tianci's condition after he used honeysuckle, which made Zhou Paopi misunderstand what was going on.
"I have a peculiar constitution, with very poor immunity. Once I get sick, it's extremely difficult to cure. For example, a cold or fever can be fatal. A few years ago, I suffered from carbuncles for several years, and it happened to be the end of the world. Fortunately, your honeysuckle was able to cure it. Medically, this is called pseudo-cancer."
"Pseudo-cancer?"
"Cancer is caused by various tumors that prevent cell repair. Regardless of the type of cancer you have, if you develop a minor illness at this time, such as a cold, low-grade fever, or cough, no matter what medicine you take, it will not heal. In other words, if someone around you has a minor illness that persists for half a month or even a month without improvement, it is very likely that the tumor has developed and medicine can no longer cure the minor illness, commonly known as cancer.
The old man is drug-resistant and cannot absorb 99% of drugs. In addition, his body's repair ability is dozens of times higher than that of an ordinary person. Even if an ordinary person gets sick in a few days, he will recover in a very long time, or even never recover."
Only then did Jingshu understand why Su Mali and Zhou Paopi asked for so much honeysuckle and regarded it so preciously. This person's health was indeed in some trouble.
"The old man hasn't had a drop of water for two months. He relies on nutrient solution and various medicines to keep himself alive. No one knows how long he can live. Recently, he has been writing handover documents in the few hours he is awake.
I have filed a document and submitted a report to my superiors, requesting a transfer."
It sounds serious.
"So what's wrong with him?"
"Old age and illness have consumed most of his vitality and energy. After all, when I met him, I said he would only be 50, but now he is 57. I have to say that the medicine from the United States has some credit for this, but unfortunately it has no effect at all recently." Zhou Paopi shrugged.
Perhaps having heard the commotion, Jin Tianci frowned slightly and opened his eyes. The caregiver immediately shouted, "Go call the mistress and the young master."
Everyone knows that every time Jin Tianci wakes up, it may be the last time.
After a while, Mrs. Jin came over. She was a woman wearing a cheongsam and high heels in the cold weather. She looked less than 40 years old, with wavy hair, and had a Shanghai feel. But Jingshu still felt her strength. She must be a strong woman.
Jin Baba followed Mrs. Jin in a leisurely and nonchalant manner, looking like a dandy boy. He was only 30% like his father and 70% like his mother, and was a bit ostentatious.
Next to him stood a middle-aged man in a suit and tie with a big belly. He had been in a high position for a long time and looked a bit like Mrs. Jin. He was probably Jin Baba's uncle.
Zhou Paopi introduced Jing Shu to everyone: "Old Jin, you're awake now. It's a good opportunity to introduce you all. This is Jing, the Vice President of the Wucheng Medicine Association. Wucheng's entry into the top ten of the entire association is thanks to her. In the second half of the year, she will lead the team to compete in the imperial capital. She is a very experienced pharmacist. The honeysuckle flower we won last time was made by her."
Jingshu: "How come I didn't know I would have to go to the capital to compete in the second half of the year..."
Jin Baba's uncle looked Jing Shu up and down, and finally kept his eyes on her legs. New men look at Yue Xiong, old men look at legs, experienced men all look at legs. The man swallowed his saliva and said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk."
Jin Baba turned his attention to Li Yuetian. He had just emptied this man's warehouse yesterday, so why was he here today? Was he complaining? Jin Baba pulled his neck, threatening to kill him.
Li Yuetian snorted coldly, but he was not afraid even though the knife was on his neck.
Mrs. Jin became much more enthusiastic after hearing about the story of honeysuckle and introduced her son. Jin Baba nodded reluctantly as a greeting.
Jingshu's lips curled up as she slowly said, "Oh, I know you. I heard that you've been helping your father manage supplies lately. You've exceeded your targets and added a lot of food to the Wucheng storage warehouse. The people of Wucheng are grateful to you, and other departments are praising you."
