Chapter 98 Cui Jiachang wakes up
When Yue Ning returned home, her grandfather was waiting for her at the door.
"Grandpa, are you still awake?"
Before his granddaughter went out, she told him that she might talk to Cui Huiyi for a while, but he couldn't sleep until the child came back.
"How is Cui Jiachang?"
"The operation went smoothly. There are still two critical periods. If there is no bleeding in the brain within three days, the most dangerous stage will be over. In ten days or so, there may be water accumulation in the brain, which is also dangerous. If there is no problem in about half a month, the life will be saved. But the best result may be hemiplegia."
Yue Baohua shook his head: "That Yu Wanmei only cares about money. Whoever gets involved with her will be in trouble."
Yue Ning didn't want to discuss this person with her grandfather. She pushed him and said, "Go to bed! Although you don't have to get up early tomorrow, the question is, will you sleep in?"
Yue Baohua pointed to a list on the table and said, "Here comes the schedule for the Chef King Contest. Take a look."
Yue Ning pushed her grandfather into the room, and she took the list back to her room.
Two days ago, the participating teams were determined. Twelve restaurants in Hong Kong and four in Macau, a total of sixteen restaurants sent teams to participate in the competition. The elimination system was adopted, and the eight to sixteen were decided by drawing lots. Baohualou met an old restaurant in the city. Ah Ming was upset when he saw the result. He also said that this restaurant had sent a master chef. If they were eliminated in the first round, it would be a great embarrassment for her. She comforted him that it was normal for her to be embarrassed, and it didn't matter. After these words came out, the two were afraid that they would really lose, so they sharpened their weapons before the battle.
Yulongxuan was extremely lucky and came across a little-known small restaurant in Aocheng. According to the selection criteria of Gangcheng, this small restaurant was not eligible to register. It was because Aocheng was small and there were few restaurants that they were able to participate after the conditions were relaxed.
Li Xinrong was the last chef king. This time his eldest apprentice took over the competition. This eldest apprentice was Li Xinrong's assistant last year. This time he led the team, which is considered the strongest team in Australia City.
No matter which of the three families wins the championship, grandpa will be proud. If any of them can take the top three, grandpa will become the uncrowned king.
Yue Ning was so happy that she went to take a shower, turned on the TV and wanted to tune into the midnight theater. The TV screen was showing the midnight news. No one cared whether Cui Jiachang was dead or alive. What everyone cared about was when would Cui Ji’s stock price bottom?
The market hopes that Cui Huiyi can take over Cui Ji. Cui Huiwen ran a brilliant business, but it was just a restaurant after all, and it eventually fell into decline. Cui Huiyi's business was very good.
So when Cui Ji announced that Cui Huiwen would take over as chairman of the board of directors of Cui Ji, the market reacted with understanding but not optimism.
I wonder how much the market will buy into the strategies we discussed tonight? Let's go to sleep.

The next morning, Qiao Junshen went downstairs to the restaurant, where the old couple were having breakfast.
Qiao Junshen went over and kissed his grandmother on the face: "Good morning, grandma."
The eldest grandson rarely got up early, so he kissed the old lady. Qiao Qiming: "Just kiss your grandma?"
Grandpa was jealous of even this. Qiao Junshen went over and hugged the old man's head, wanting to kiss Qiao Qiming's bald forehead. Qiao Qiming quickly shouted, "Let go, let go."
Qiao Junshen let go obediently: "You don't want it, it's not that I don't want to kiss you."
"Young Master, we have Shengjian today. We are making it for you. Please wait a moment." Aunt Fang, the maid, came out and said.
Qiao Junshen said, "Make an extra portion and help me pack it."
"good."
"Didn't you say that you two shouldn't take it seriously? Getting up so early and bringing breakfast to people?" Qiao Qiming asked as he looked down at the photo in the newspaper of his eldest grandson protecting Cui Huiyi.
Qiao Junshen took the newspaper away from his grandfather's eyes and said, "You and grandma must be very happy when you see this photo, right?"
"Are you real this time or fake?" asked Mrs. Qiao.
Qiao Junshen smiled: "Grandma, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, don't be anxious."
Qiao Qiming said to his wife, "I've sprayed perfume on her. Do you think it's real or fake?"
"Is that so?" the old lady laughed.
Qiao Junshen continued to look down at the newspaper. The headline was: "Mr. Qiao's Instant Food Romance with the Queen of Instant Noodles"
The article said that he had just broken up with Zhou Mingling and quickly got together with Cui Huiyi, and now he looks like a loving man protecting his wife.
The servant brought breakfast to Qiao Junshen, and Qiao Junshen said to the servant: "Add some balsamic vinegar to the lunch box."
"good."
Cui Huiyi's family runs a seasoning factory and she also runs an instant noodle factory, but she only has a few seasonings at home.
After breakfast, Qiao Junshen drove to Cui Huiyi's house.
Cui Huiyi, wearing pajamas and with messy hair, opened the door for him: "Why are you here so early?"
Qiao Junshen handed her the lunch box: "I'm bringing you breakfast, Qiao's special pan-fried buns. Eat while it's hot?"
"Okay." Cui Huiyi came over immediately after going into the bathroom to brush her teeth.
Seeing that her hair was still messy, Qiao Junshen asked, "You've already gone into the bathroom, can't you comb your hair?"
Cui Huiyi smiled: "Brother, do we still need to be so particular?"
"No, no." Qiao Junshen said. He had already opened the lunch box and handed her chopsticks.
Cui Huiyi picked up a pan-fried bun and took a bite, the juice gushed out. Qiao Junshen handed her a tissue.
Cui Huiyi sucked the juice and ate a Shengjianbao, saying, "It's very juicy. It tastes better than the Shengjianbao at the Shanghai Dim Sum Shop in North Point."
"Of course, Aunt Fang was brought up by my grandmother. You haven't been to my house for breakfast. The food we have is pan-fried dumplings, xiaolongbao, rice cakes, lye balls, shrimp dumplings, otak-otak, braised meat noodles, smoked fish noodles, laksa and rice noodles. They are better than those in most teahouses in Hong Kong." Qiao Junshen told her.
Cui Huiyi took another pan-fried bun and said, "I can come to your house for lunch and dinner, but why should I come to your house for breakfast?"
"If you want to eat, there is always a way, right?" Qiao Junshen said with a smile.
After breakfast, Cui Huiyi rushed into the room, quickly changed her clothes, combed her hair and put on makeup. It took her less than a quarter of an hour in total. When she came out, she was a well-dressed business elite.
The two went downstairs together and got in the car. Qiao Junshen drove. Cui Huiyi took out the list and said, "My sister called me last night and said my father woke up. I briefly told her about our discussion. She said that her brother-in-law's family also fully supports her. Her father-in-law will also be interviewed by reporters today to express his full support for his daughter-in-law."
"That would be great."
"I'm simply a genius. How could I come up with the idea of being your fake girlfriend at this critical juncture? If it weren't for you, would my cautious father-in-law have made such a promise?" Cui Huiyi sniffed the air and then sniffed Qiao Junshen.
Qiao Junshen asked: "What are you doing?"
"Qiao Junshen, are you using perfume?" Cui Huiyi asked.
Qiao Junshen was speechless: "You just discovered it?"
Cui Huiyi said seriously: "I tell you, I don't care which woman you like, you have an agreement with me now, you can't break it, don't cause me any scandals, don't cause me any trouble. At least we have to wait until this matter is over before announcing our breakup."
"I'll let you smell it, okay?" Qiao Junshen said unhappily.
"You really don't like anyone?" Cui Huiyi asked again. If something went wrong at this time, it would really cost lives!
"Who did I fancy that I had time to stay at your house until midnight last night? And bring you breakfast this morning?"
Cui Huiyi finally understood, and she said, "Oh! You are just free, and you put on the new perfume you bought, and you want me to comment on it?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Qiao Junshen replied to her.
She leaned over and smelled it carefully, and said, "The scent of cedar and sandalwood is long-lasting and deep, and tastes very good."
Qiao Junshen sent her to the hospital entrance and said, "I'm not going in."
"Why are you going in? He's awake." Cui Huiyi got out of the car, bent over the window, and waved goodbye to Qiao Junshen.
Qiao Junshen stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
Cui Huiyi looked at the back of the car and shrugged. Is that so? Fake things can't be real, and you can see it from the details. Can a real boyfriend run so fast?
She turned around to go into the hospital and was blocked by reporters. She said, "No one will worry about the future of Li De. As for the future of Cui Ji, I think it would be more appropriate for Ms. Qin Cui Huiwen to speak."
Cui Huiyi went to the intensive care unit and saw her sister was already there. Cui Huiyi said, "Sister, what time did you go home last night? And you came home so early today. Do you know what you will face next? Don't wear your body down."
Cui Huiwen looked through the glass at Cui Jiachang, who had opened his eyes but could not move, and said, "I couldn't sleep at home either, so I came here early. It's so pitiful to see him now. I think he was so hateful before."
When she heard yesterday that he was going to die, Cui Huiyi was sad for a while. But now that she knew he had woken up and would be left with hemiplegia, all the sympathy she had for him disappeared.
"This is the retribution God has given him. Let him live and watch it." Cui Huiyi shrugged. "I don't want to scold those women for being heartless. He treats mom and us even less conscience than those women treat him. Okay, let's sit down and discuss it together. You have to go back to Cui's later."
The two sisters sat together. They had already gone over it briefly on the phone last night, and now they needed to explain the details. Cui Huiwen was not a housewife who was always at home, so she understood the business logic of her sister immediately.
Cui Huiwen went to Cui Ji immediately. Cui Huiyi was waiting there. After the doctor arrived, she asked about her father's condition.
Judging from the current situation, it is the mildest among the estimated cases, but how much he can recover depends on his future recovery.
Cui Jiachang looked through the glass window at his youngest daughter, who had always been his mortal enemy. He woke up and saw his eldest daughter last night. In the morning, it was still his eldest daughter. Later, the youngest daughter came and the eldest daughter left.
He now has a headache and body pain. His mind is confused, yet not confused. From last night to today, he has seen the image of his father-in-law and Caiying being alive.
When my father-in-law was alive, he always said that he was not steady enough in doing things and that he needed to calm down. He reminded him that Cui Ji, like Li De, was a company that made food that people ate. If they wanted to become a century-old store, they had to sell genuine products at fair prices and do business with conscience.
He was very disgusted when he heard this, and always felt that the man was taking advantage of his seniority. Although Li De was doing good business, his Cui Ji was not bad either.
He complained to Caiying, and Caiying always told him to listen to his father. Her father said such things because he treated him as his son.
He felt that Caiying was reminding him that he was where he is today because of the Xiang family and because he was Xiang Lide's son-in-law. She had never thought that he had initially founded a small shop in a corner. It was with this small shop that he was able to come in front of them and be recognized by them.
As soon as his father-in-law died, he started looking for women outside and found women who gave birth to sons. He wanted to expand Cui Ji. He hoped that Li De would decline, and it would be best if it would decline in the hands of his daughters, because that was Xiang Caiying's last wish, that Li De should be handed over to his daughters.
The Lide founded by Xiang Lide eventually disappeared in the hands of Xiang Lide's descendants. He can be said to have done his best for them, father and daughter.
However, the result is that Xiang Lide's blood is Xiang Lide's blood. He always abides by his conscience, whether in business or in life. Until now, he only has the two daughters born by Caiying to accompany him...
