Chapter 574: Banquet for Guo Yurong
Guo Yurong didn't expect that even though he had been immersed in officialdom for many years, Gu Wenheng and others would still treat him, a man from the underworld, with such courtesy.
Gu Wenheng, "Has Brother Guo been in seclusion all these years?"
Guo Yurong, "Sir, you should just call me by my name. You cannot bear the title of Big Brother."
Gu Wenheng said generously, "We are only talking about personal relationships here, regardless of these identities.
Could it be that Brother Guo will treat me differently because of my changed status?"
Guo Yurong was a generous person to begin with. She was sure that Gu Wenheng was truly her friend and did not look down on her, so the smile on her face became even more genuine.
“That’s not the case. For us doctors, everyone is the same.
It’s just that I’ve been living in the mountains for so many years, and it’s hard for me to adapt to the world all of a sudden.”
Jin Qianqian asked curiously, "Have you always been in the mountains?"
"Only in the deep mountains can you find some good medicines. Madam knows that I am a doctor. Sometimes I have to put in more effort to complete a prescription."
Jin Qianqian was a little impressed. Facing the deep mountains and forests for years and months, it was something that ordinary people could not do.
As for what kind of medicine the other party made, even if she was curious, she would not ask, "Brother Guo, you came at the right time. I think Mr. Ouyang's injury is not serious."
Guo Yurong stood up and bowed 90 degrees to Gu Wenheng, "I'm sorry that Ouyang Bing made things difficult for you two before."
He shouldn't have been the one to apologize for this matter, but the two families were old friends, and he was older than Ouyang Bing, so it was best for him to express his apology.
Jin Qianqian knew what he meant, "It's all over now, and we didn't suffer any loss."
"No, if it weren't for Madam's help, Ouyang Bing might be in an even more miserable state right now."
Although Jin Qianqian looked down on what Ouyang Bing did, she was unwilling to interfere.
"I have gotten the upper hand. Look at this restaurant. It is now a major business under my control. I guess Mr. Ouyang must be regretting it right now."
If Ouyang Bing had any regrets, he really didn't. He knew his own weight. He had worked hard for so many years, and was supported by just a few restaurants.
It’s just a pity that he didn’t strive for a bigger share at that time, so that he could also get some profit from it.
I didn’t expect that within a short time after Jin Qianqian took over, the restaurant had already opened branches in various places and was almost becoming the landmark restaurant of Rong Dynasty.
“That’s because that kid has no ability. This restaurant can only be as prosperous as it is now under the Madam’s management.
But this boy shouldn't have gone too far and bothered Madam so many times."
Guo Yurong knew that some things were better to be discussed today, otherwise if this continued, Ouyang Bing would really offend the two people in front of him.
Because he can't always stay by this kid's side. Once or twice, he can tolerate it, but if it goes on for a long time, they will really become enemies!
Although they are people of the underworld, they do not want to have disputes with the government. If these powerless people want to live a really free and easy life, they dare not easily provoke officials.
Gu Wenheng looked at Guo Yurong and said, "It is a blessing for Ouyang Bing to have a brother like you."
Guo Yurong smiled bitterly, "We grew up together. Although we are not brothers, we have brotherhood.
Although he is a little bit cunning, he really doesn't have any bad intentions.
I hope you two can bear with me for a while."
Speaking of this, Guo Yurong took out two porcelain bottles from her bosom and pushed the green bottle over first. "It just so happens that I have refined a few pills of marrow cleansing and body strengthening medicine these days. I heard that there are two young masters in the mansion who are about to enter enlightenment. This medicine can also help them to be healthy.
If you want to practice martial arts, taking this medicine can help you achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Of course, you two can also take it, but the effect won’t be as obvious as for children.”
Then he pushed the white bottle over and said, "This contains a beauty pill. My mother has tried it and it seems to be effective. I'll give it to you, Madam."
Gu Wenheng took both bottles into his arms without hesitation, "Thank you so much, Brother Guo. These are exactly what we need. I will take them shamelessly."
Jin Qianqian received her husband's gaze and pushed the wooden sign she had prepared in advance in front of Guo Yurong, "This is the membership card of Tianfu Restaurant. With this card, Brother Guo can dine for free at Tianfu Restaurants across the country."
This was recently made by Jin Qianqian.
These wooden signs are all made of ebony wood. The drawings and carvings on them were all carefully designed by her, and they all have different codes. There are only six in total. They were originally reserved for close people, but today she is taking them out as a favor.
Guo Yurong picked up the wooden sign and put it directly into her arms, "I won't be shy with you guys, you know, I've been thinking about the dishes of Tianfu Restaurant all the way.
Ouyang Bing did a good thing. Now that Tianfu Restaurant is under Madam's control, I can eat more delicious food."
Jin Qianqian smiled. Guo Yurong was still the same as before, not being polite when it came to delicious food.
"I heard that Brother Guo also wants to go out to sea with us." After some conversation, both parties achieved their goals, and Jin Qianqian went straight to the point.
"Little Ice Cube knows that I have always wanted to go out to sea, but I have always been troubled by the conditions, which has delayed it until now.
Unexpectedly, this kid turned a disaster into a blessing last time and went out for a ride on his wife's big boat.
After seeing what he had experienced in the letter, I rushed here without delay."
Guo Yurong was naturally aware that his medical skills were in high demand wherever he went, and going out to sea with the ship could be considered as fulfilling his childhood wish.
The boatman on Jin Qianqian's boat also received the protection of a skilled doctor, and both sides benefited from it, which was also his confidence.
When Jin Qianqian heard this, she knew that everyone was understanding. "Then I'd like to trouble Brother Guo to take good care of the boatmen on the way. Please see what medicinal herbs we need to prepare and I'll have someone prepare them."
Guo Yurong had the same idea, knowing that on the sea, it was not like on land where one could obtain materials at any time.
"I'll give Madam a list later. I'll check how many people are on your ship and add or subtract some as needed."
Jin Qianqian, "That's easy. Knowing that Brother Guo is coming, I have asked my subordinates to contact several pharmacies and ask them to prepare as many medicinal materials as possible. Just tell me if you need anything."
Both parties got what they wanted, and the meal was a great success for both hosts and guests.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill and Guo Yurong left, Jin Qianqian sighed again, "Ouyang Bing is really lucky. He has loyal servants around him and a good brother like Guo Yurong to protect him."
Gu Wenheng chuckled, "That's because you don't know his current miserable situation. This man must always be responsible for the mistakes he made."
Jin Qianqian really didn't ask about Ouyang Bing's current situation. "Hearing you say that, I'm a little curious. How miserable is he?"
