The ringing of the phone interrupted their lingering love. Long Yi reluctantly took out his phone from his pocket:
"Hello, who is this?"
"Mr. Long, I'm Shi Guangzhi who was at Baicaotang this morning. I told the director everything that happened to you this morning. The director asked if we could have dinner together later to express my gratitude to you." Shi Guangzhi said politely on the other end of the phone.
Long Yi recalled in his mind that there was indeed a slightly pale man named Shi Guangzhi standing in the emergency room that morning. He seemed to be the head of the Medical Administration Department.
When he first arrived in Beijing, he had to make friends with all the forces. What's more, the other party was a big shot in the medical field. Even if not for himself, he had to pave the way for Chen Qianqian's future internship career.
"Chief Shi, thank you for your compliment. If you're going to have dinner together later, I'll be at Mingxuan Pavilion. You and the Director can come over."
Although the position of lobby manager is vacant now, fortunately the deputy manager is a girl with neat and efficient movements, short and capable hair, and professional OL clothing. Everything in Mingxuan Pavilion is carried out in an orderly manner under her command.
Long Yi admired her decisive style very much. He just needed to observe this girl again. As long as her character was up to standard, she would be perfectly qualified for the position of lobby manager.
After a while, Shi Guangzhi brought Director Sun Changwu to the appointment, and they introduced themselves to each other.
Sun Changwu sat casually in the chair, without any airs of a leader, and said kindly: "Mr. Long is not only a superb doctor, but also has a unique vision in choosing a girlfriend."
As the atmosphere became lively, Shi Guangzhi no longer stuck to formalities and jokingly said, "I, Old Shi, am saying that with Miss Chen's looks, she's definitely a top performer in the entire Beijing entertainment industry."
After hearing what the two elders said, Chen Qianqian blushed and was about to humble herself when Long Yi interrupted her.
"Tsk tsk, my humble appearance is really not worthy of the praise from the two elders." Long Yi glanced at Chen Qianqian and said with a smile.
After hearing Long Yi's words, Chen Qianqian wanted to tear his head off. What does "cheap wife" mean? What does "femme figure" mean?
And she is already your ex-wife, who would admit to getting back together with you?
She felt embarrassed and angry, and pinched Long Yi's inner thigh hard with her right hand.
"Hiss!" Long Yi felt a tearing pleasure coming from a few centimeters next to his vitals, and couldn't help but scream out at the dinner table.
Sun Changwu couldn't see what was happening under the tablecloth. He looked at Long Yi, who had a painful expression, with confusion. "Mr. Long, are you feeling unwell?"
"Ahem...No, it's just that a dish was so delicious just now that I almost cried out in joy. I'm sorry for the rudeness of the junior." Long Yi sat upright, afraid that a verbal mistake would make Chen Qianqian angry again.
Chen Qianqian nodded in satisfaction, and then she took her cold little hand away from Long Yi's thigh. Before leaving, she gently touched the bruise on his thigh to show her comfort.
Long Yi smiled silently in his heart. This was the quirky girl he met in Jiangzhou before. Before the meal, the cautious Chen Qianqian was carrying too much pressure that did not belong to her.
The chef of Mingxuan Pavilion is indeed one of the top chefs in Beijing. Everyone enjoyed the delicious and exquisite meal very happily.
At this moment, Song Ying, the deputy lobby manager, trotted over to Long Yi and said anxiously, "Boss Long, there are official forces from the capital clearing out Mingxuan Pavilion. We can't stop them because they produced official documents. Now all the guests in the hall have been rudely driven out..."
Song Ying glanced at Sun Changwu beside her, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Long Yi saw her concerns and waved his hand. "Director Sun is not an outsider. Which system does the other party belong to?"
"It was the head of the Food Safety Department who brought a few of his subordinates. They said that the sampling results of the raw materials of Mingxuan Pavilion showed that there were serious health risks. The food poisoning cases of more than a dozen students were closely related to Mingxuan Pavilion, and they were about to put up the seal."
After hearing the words "Food Safety Department", Sun Changwu's face became gloomy and he angrily scolded Wang Jie in his heart, "What are you doing?"
The director of the Health Bureau was eating there, and you, a grassroots section chief, brought your subordinates here to pick a fight? He had just held a small meeting before leaving. The cause of this food poisoning was initially determined to be unclean food at the school gate, which had absolutely nothing to do with Mingxuan Pavilion.
These subordinates obviously wanted to use the chicken feathers as a token of authority to extort a large sum of money from Mingxuan Pavilion at this critical moment of public opinion.
Long Yi's thoughts were more complicated than Sun Changwu's. He had just humiliated Ren Zihao, and Mingxuan Pavilion was in trouble right after that. It was most likely that he was the one who came to ruin the situation.
Sun Changwu was on pins and needles and took the initiative to speak: "Mr. Long, it's my fault for not disciplining my subordinates strictly. Don't worry, just leave this matter to me."
"It's okay, Director Sun. Let's go down together and take a look at the specific situation." Long Yi followed closely with Chen Qianqian.
In the elevator, Long Yi comforted Sun Changwu, "Director Sun, don't think too much about it. After all, there's such a serious food poisoning incident. Maybe it's just a normal checkup."
Sun Changwu said angrily, "I'm the boss of the bureau, how could I not know this? Wang Jie seems so honest on a daily basis, but I didn't expect him to be so... Anyway, I absolutely won't allow such corrupt officials among my subordinates!"
He said this indignantly, his chest heaving violently with emotion, and it seemed that he was really angry.
Sun Changwu suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes, as if he was stepping on cotton and could no longer stand. Shi Guangzhi saw that the situation was not right and quickly supported Sun Changwu.
"Mr. Long, you are a skilled doctor. Please take a look at what happened to Director Sun."
Long Yi placed his hand on Sun Changwu's pulse. "Director Sun was just too emotional. His Qi and blood attacked his heart, causing the liver yang to rise. The heart was not getting enough blood, which is why he is short of breath and unconscious."
He injected a strand of Xuantian true Qi into Sun Changwu's body to sort out his disordered breath and blood supply. Sure enough, a hint of blood appeared on Sun Changwu's face slowly.
"Chief Shi, Director Sun is now fine. Please lay him down on the sofa for a while. I'll go check on the situation outside."
The entire first-floor hall of Mingxuan Pavilion was empty, but there were crowds of people in front of the flower bed at the entrance.
"Everyone, please disperse. We just discovered this morning that the ingredients at Mingxuan Pavilion have a serious safety risk. I'm afraid it's related to the food poisoning incident this morning."
"Mingxuan Pavilion is not only facing a sky-high fine, but the boss cannot escape legal sanctions. Imprisonment awaits him!" Ren Zihao held Long Yi's portrait in his hand and spat at the onlookers.
He wanted to use all the swear words in his mind to describe Long Yi. Sima Zhao's intention was known to everyone. His purpose was to ruin the reputation of Mingxuan Pavilion and make Long Yi's business fail.
