Ye Lan had expected him to see through it, so he nodded slightly and admitted, "During the acupuncture, I also opened up the Qi and blood in other joints of his body. Remember to wear long johns when it's cold in the future, and you won't even get cold legs."
long johns?
Although he didn't know what this thing was, Dodge was still overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Okay, okay, I'll send someone to buy it right after dinner. That's great, really great!"
Unexpectedly, the problem was solved smoothly within a day. In the evening, everyone held a bonfire party in the manor and spent the whole night together in a lively atmosphere.
Early the next morning, Dodge was still sleeping in when his old father suddenly pulled off the quilt and pulled him out of bed by his ear.
"What? Morning jogging?" Dodge was dazed, thinking he had misheard. He was too sleepy to open his eyes and waved his hands to refuse. "Don't tease me, I've never seen you jogging in the morning. When did you start doing this hobby? Let me go back to bed, Dad. I'm so sleepy."
In the past, his father always slept until noon, and he didn't know what was wrong with him today.
Before he could finish his thoughts, he got kicked in the butt.
"If it weren't for my knee pain, I would have run 20 kilometers every day when I was young. Today, I'm feeling refreshed. Can't you please not spoil my fun?"
Dodge's head was buzzing from being yelled at, but he finally came to his senses and saw that his father looked radiant after just one night. Even the white hair on his temples had decreased by several strands. He seemed to have become several years younger.
This huge change that was visible to the naked eye made him stunned in place, "Dad, are you okay?"
"Haha, okay. I haven't felt this comfortable in the past ten years." Seeing his son's eyes moisten, he patted Dodge's shoulder, revealing a rare bit of a father's tenderness. "Your generation is truly like the Yangtze River where the waves behind push the waves ahead. I used to worry that you wouldn't amount to anything, but now that I see you're so close to Miss Ye, I'm relieved. Study hard with Miss Ye in school, no matter what you study. That way, I can leave this family to you with confidence."
Only then did the father and son talk to each other like equal men.
Dodge also saw the heavy burden on his father and nodded seriously, "I will, Father."
I will also protect the Dodge family as well as you do.
That morning, the father and son ran around the manor several times. In the end, Dodge gave up and refused to move before coming back.
As soon as they entered the house, Dodge's mother Katyusha hurriedly handed him a towel and said to her husband, "Miss Ye said that autumn is cold and the dew is heavy, so you should keep warm and don't catch a cold. I also went to Chinatown to buy a lot of wolfberries and chrysanthemums. I'll make you some tea later."
After a day of influence, Katyusha has officially embarked on the path of Chinese medicine health preservation.
Old Dodge couldn't persuade his wife, so he went upstairs to take a shower and put on long johns. He felt so awkward that he could hardly walk.
When he went downstairs again, he went to the cherry grove in front of everyone to invite the maid Joan back and apologized sincerely, "I was wrong before. I hope you won't hold it against me. If you need any compensation, please don't hesitate. I will definitely satisfy you."
Qiong wiped her tears but kept shaking her head, her face full of relief. "I know you are sick, and my greatest hope is that you can get better now."
It can be seen that old Dodge is very kind to everyone in his family, and he is not like the gangster who fights and kills outside and brings his banditry into the family.
Ye Lan took all of this into account, and when he sat down to talk face to face with the other party again, he also directly extended an olive branch, "Mr. Dodge, I think we can cooperate."
Old Dodge didn't expect her to be so direct. He hesitated for a moment and said, "You are not dealing with ordinary people. Why should I join you in this deadly business?"
It depends on Ye Lan's bargaining chips.
It is true that Ye Lan saved his life, and it is not excessive for him to repay her by working like a slave, but he cannot drag the entire Dodge family into muddy water just for himself.
Ye Lan also knew that it was impossible to impress the other party with just a few words, and most of the tricks of getting something for nothing only existed in novels, so he quickly showed his sincerity.
She pushed a document over.
Seeing this, Old Dodge opened it with some confusion. When he saw the contents, his eyes widened. "You bought the entire Chinatown? No, that's impossible. The owner there is an old man who makes clothes. He's very stubborn. I've tried to make friends with him time and time again, but he's always rejected me. How could he possibly give up his business?"
Chinese people are spread all over the world and are famous for their business acumen and unity, so there are Chinatowns in almost every foreign city, and they have become a considerable force.
As a local veteran force, the Dodge family has always wanted to conquer Chinatown and integrate the divided territories into a large whole. Unfortunately, it is a hard nut to crack and they have been unable to chew it for more than ten years, so they gave up long ago.
Unexpectedly, this piece of land was taken over by a young girl who had just arrived.
In response to this, Ye Lan simply said, "That old master happened to be a fellow disciple of a friend of mine. It was just luck."
As the saying goes, strike the snake at its most vulnerable point, and she never fights a battle that she has no chance of winning.
From the day he decided to use the Dodge family as a breakthrough point, Xuanzong began to conduct background checks and finally found Chinatown.
The boss behind Chinatown is indeed not an easy person to talk to, but there is a familiar name on the other party's information.
He is a fellow apprentice of Qiao Kun, a famous Chinese embroidery master, and has always admired Qiao Kun's talent.
Ye Lan called and old man Qiao Kun gave his full support without hesitation. His words were even more resounding, "Although I don't know what you are doing now, I can tell from your live broadcast that you are doing it for the good of this country. That's all."
This one sentence stopped Ye Lan from explaining anything, and he only left with "thank you".
Old Dodge flipped through the document for a full ten minutes. After confirming that all the seals and signatures were correct, he stared at the girl in amazement and said in admiration, "I originally thought you were just an excellent doctor, but I didn't expect your methods to be so powerful."
At this point, he was completely convinced by Ye Lan and agreed to cooperate with him.
When leaving the manor in the afternoon, old Dodge and his wife came out to see him off in person.
Before Ye Lan got into the car, he hesitated for a while, then asked, "If I'm not mistaken, the person next to Miss Ye is the famous Mr. Xiao Yunting, Chairman of the Xiao Group, right?"
Hearing the sound, Lei Ze in the car glanced sideways slightly, and swept over with a calm gaze. Even though he didn't show any emotion, the pressure was still frightening.
"Hello." He nodded as a greeting, then continued to look at the trees in the manor on the other side, without any intention of getting involved.
Ye Lan also said at the right time, "This is just my personal matter and has nothing to do with him."
"Of course, but seeing is believing. Today I finally saw it." Old Dodge looked happy on the surface, but was shocked in his heart.
No matter how much they didn't want to get involved, as long as Xiao Yunting was here, he would be enough to intimidate most of the aristocratic forces in Texas, so there was no need for them to solve the problem themselves.
Thinking about it this way, the alliance is a sure-win business for the Dodge family.
