116: Chapter 116: Food Master Chen Guofu_1 116: Chapter 116: Food Master Chen Guofu_1 “Honey, thank you!” In the chairman’s office of Xinmeng Group, Xiao Chen stopped playing his game and just stared at Jiang Meng with a smile. “Thank me for what?” Jiang Meng asked. “Thank you for standing up for me like that!” Xiao Chen said, “Because I’m quite dominant, it’s usually me protecting others. This feeling of being protected reminds me of when I was eighteen, that girl who took a bullet for me.” “Maybe it was just a subconscious reaction for her, not necessarily to save you!” Jiang Meng said. “Maybe, but for that girl, it might have been just an instinctive response. For me, though, it’s for a lifetime.” Xiao Chen looked at Jiang Meng, this kind-hearted girl, who had successfully captured his feelings, making him feel somewhat helpless. “What are you looking at? It’s not our first day seeing each other, be careful in case someone comes in.” Jiang Meng became somewhat embarrassed by Xiao Chen’s gaze, her face flushed, just like a freshly ripened tomato. “What’s there to be afraid of? You’re my wife, so what if someone sees! I’d rather look at you like this for the rest of my life!” Xiao Chen started to act shamelessly. But Jiang Meng felt sweet inside. It was like having a piece of watermelon that was sweet to the core during the hot summer. Jiang Meng felt a bit dizzy. She could even sense Xiao Chen’s breath. She felt she was about to be lost in this overwhelming feeling of happiness. Her heart felt like it was inhabited by a playful rabbit, constantly hopping around. “Ding dong ding!” Just then, there was a knock at the door. Startled, Jiang Meng quickly recovered from that romantic state and sorted her hair. “It’s all your fault!” She gave Xiao Chen a glare, then shouted to the outside, “Come in!” The door opened. Jiang Meng sat at the office desk, trying to look serious. But the perceptive Liu Xin still noticed something special in the air. She smiled and said, “It seems I have come at the wrong time, shall I leave you two to continue, and I’ll step out?” “Mom!” Jiang Meng protested, “Xiao Chen is bullying me, and now you’re bullying me too?” Liu Xin smiled and said, “You’re just too shy, girl. You already have your certificate, what’s there to be afraid of? But then again, it’s probably better to do this sort of thing at home.” “What sort of thing, that sort of thing? Mom, you’re talking nonsense.” Jiang Meng couldn’t help but stamp her foot, looking so anxious that she was extremely adorable. Xiao Chen, with his thicker skin, smiled at Jiang Meng. “It’s all your fault and you’re still smiling! Humph, I’m not talking to you anymore!” Jiang Meng pouted, then looked at Liu Xin and said, “Mom, what’s up?” “Oh right, I almost forgot about business. To get Xinmeng Food off to a good start, I specially found Chen Guofu from Linhai, who is known as a ‘Master of Pastries.’ Liu Xin smiled and said, “Chen Guofu has a variety of food processing techniques. Years ago, he was the master chef at a state-owned food factory. Many of his creations have been lost over time. If we can get him to join Xinmeng Food, even without the technical support from Dongxiang Group, we will be successful. The only thing is, Chen Guofu is a bit eccentric. His wife is seriously ill and bedridden for many years. He said he’d only pass on his techniques to his wife and not to anyone else. So, Xiao Chen might need to help with this, to see if Hua Xian can step in and cure the person.” “There’s no need for Hua Xian to get involved in such a small matter! Moreover, Hua Xian only learned a bit from me. For something like this, it’s stabler if I take care of it myself,” Xiao Chen said with a smile. “You know how to treat illnesses?” Liu Xin was a bit surprised. “Mom, you may not know, but the special medicine for that epidemic was developed by Xiao Chen with Hua Xian and Dr. Hicks.” Jiang Meng spoke proudly. Liu Xin was even more surprised, wondering how many secrets her son-in-law had. It just kept getting more and more astonishing. “Alright, then I’ll leave this matter to you guys. Chen Guofu must be taken down!” Liu Xin clenched her fists and said. Xiao Chen smiled and left with Jiang Meng. From Chen Guofu’s home, waves of sobbing could be heard. This caused Jiang Meng to turn pale, “Oh no, have we come too late?” “Let’s go inside and check!” Xiao Chen was also somewhat worried, hearing how heartbreakingly the crying sounded. The two of them entered the house and saw there were quite a few people inside. The person who was weeping was a woman in her forties, bearing a resemblance to the one lying on the sickbed. If he wasn’t mistaken, she should be her daughter. Chen Guofu sat silently on the side, his expression stiff. If his wife was about to pass, could he even go on living? “Dean Wan, how is it? Is there hope for her?” A man in a suit asked anxiously, addressing the doctor who was examining the elderly patient. Xiao Chen knew who Dean Wan was. He was the dean of the First Hospital in the provincial city. His skills, placed in Jiangnan Prefecture, were certainly top-notch. However, he only knew Western medicine and was not very skilled in traditional Chinese medicine. Dean Wan shook his head, somewhat helpless. “Aren’t you a famous doctor from the provincial city? I understand the condition of my wife. I’m not asking you to cure her. If you can just help her live another ten days, that would be enough. Her birthday is just a week from now.” Chen Guofu looked earnestly at Dean Wan as he spoke. “I’m sorry, Elder Chen, to speak the hard truth, your wife’s condition has reached a critical stage. All her indicators are very low. You should prepare for the worst now. It’s not just me; even if you were to take her to America, it wouldn’t make a difference.” Dean Wan shook his head as he spoke. Under the testing of high-precision equipment, he could responsibly make such a statement. Chen Guofu was in despair. Although Dean Wan spoke bluntly, this was the reality, and he did not blame him. “That may not be the case!” Suddenly, a voice rang out. It caught everyone’s attention. Especially Dean Wan, who frowned tightly, looking at the newly arrived Xiao Chen and Jiang Meng with some disapproval. How could his judgment possibly be wrong? “What do you mean? Is my judgment incorrect?” Dean Wan, seeing a young man, was even more disdainful. The man in a suit also said, “This is a renowned doctor from the provincial city, in the entire Jiangnan Prefecture, aside from Dean Hua Xian and Dr. Hicks, no one is more outstanding than him! You need to take responsibility for your words!” “I don’t care if he is a renowned doctor; as for this lady’s condition, it’s far from as bad as you claim it to be. Though a cure might not be very likely, as the condition has been dragged out too long, if it’s just about extending her life, she could live at least another two or three years.” Xiao Chen said with a faint smile. “Nonsense! On what basis do you dare make such claims! And who on earth are you?” Dean Wan was somewhat angry, that someone dared to question his judgment.

But Chen Guofu seemed like he had grasped a lifeline, looking towards Xiao Chen, “Can you really extend my wife’s life?” “Of course, the words I speak never come with a discount!” Xiao Chen said calmly.
