Fortunately, Hu Linsheng was the private chef of the Sunx Family. He had heard various stories about Zhang Bo, and he still trusted him.
"Master, this Old Zhang is a miracle doctor, he cured Mr. Sunx’s stubborn illness, he would never lie!" Mr. Hu Linsheng promised.
A miracle doctor from China? Cured Mr. Sunx’s stubborn illness? The family members looked at Mr. Zhang boldly but doubtfully.
"Mr... Mr. Zhang, are you really a miracle doctor from China?" Zhuang Cheng asked cautiously during the confrontation, fearing to offend Zhang Daqi.
Zhang Daqi, seeing this, calmly yet humbly replied, "I have a slight understanding, no need to exaggerate."
Watching his master from the side, Zhuangzhuang’s gaze shifted, showing more respect and expectation, his heart uneasy.
"Master, there are many doctors in this world, but most of them are frauds with only a superficial understanding. Don’t be deceived!" Zhuangzhuang reminded.
Before any more doubts could creep in, Zhang Dadan straightforwardly said, "Mr. Sunx, do you have issues with your lungs? Your liver also seems a bit sclerotic."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Cheng quickly looked at Hu Linsheng, suspecting that these insights had been leaked by him to Zhang Dadan.
But Hu Linsheng was also surprised, looking at Zhang Daqi with evident anticipation.
"Mr. Zhang, you... you are indeed holy! My master has lung emphysema and liver sclerosis!" Hu Linsheng said incredulously.
Feeling entirely sidelined, Zhuangzhuang wanted to boldly question Zhang to regain control.
Yet, before Zhang Daqi could say anything, a middle-aged woman pleaded boldly, "Zhang Daqi, your medical skills are impressive. Can you help treat my father?"
Though Zhuang Cheng sat awkwardly in the middle, he did not stop his daughter’s request. His illness could no longer be alleviated by merely eating medicinal diets.
"If Mr. Sunx trusts me, I would be happy to serve you!" Zhang Dadan replied with a confident and relaxed smile.
Seeing this, Zhuangzhuang stopped his outburst and quickly said, "Let’s act quickly, can you misdiagnose my master?"
He had come to bring Hu Linsheng to work at his restaurant. Naturally, he wouldn’t let Zhang Daqi improperly take the lead.
"What? Don’t you want your master to recover? Zhang Dadan accused boldly.
Confronted with Zhang Daqi’s bold criticism, Zhuangzhuang went silent, unable to argue.
To ease the tension, Hu Linsheng urged Zhuang Cheng, "Master, Zhang’s medical skills are really impressive. You can find someone to diagnose and treat you."
Before responding, Zhuang Cheng respectfully asked Mr. Zhang, "Mr. Zhang, if it’s not too much trouble, can you assist me?"
Seeing no objections, Zhang Daqi acquiesced. He took out a pack of silver needles, had Zhuang Cheng’s outerwear removed, and started acupuncture at several of his acupoints.
Soon, Zhuang Cheng felt a warm flow soothing his lungs, as if the dust inside had cleared away.
The warmth spread to his entire internal organs, making him feel comfortable, even as though he was floating in a heavenly state.
Just as he was immersed in this wonderful sensation, Zhang Daqi boldly removed the needles and brought him back to reality.
"Mr. Sunx, your lung problem has been mostly treated. As for your liver sclerosis, you will recover gradually with your family’s medicinal diets and abstinence from alcohol!" Zhang Dadan asserted boldly.
Before Zhuang Cheng could speak, Zhuangzhuang could not wait to confront, "Empty words are baseless. My master has been coughing for two or three years. Do you think it can be cured just because you said so?"
Hu Linsheng and his wife, hearing Zhuangzhuang’s questioning, turned to Zhuang Cheng to hear his personal feeling.
Zhuang Cheng frowned, then snapped, "What are you saying? Apologize to the doctor right now, or you’ll answer to me!"
A miracle doctor? Apologize? Zhuangzhuang was shocked. Has his master truly been bewitched by him? What should he do now?
Due to Hu Linsheng’s wife’s foresight and Zhuangzhuang’s assistance, Zhang Dadan eventually managed to persuade Hu Linsheng with a monthly salary of 50,000 yuan.
Though Zhuang Cheng still wanted Hu Linsheng to open his own restaurant, Zhang Daqi’s bold meddling made it difficult, especially since Zhang had cured his illness. For origınal chapters go to 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩•𝗳𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝕟𝕖𝕥
Seeing this, Zhuangzhuang could only leave angrily, while Zhang Daqi bravely stayed for dinner with the Sunx Family.
After lunch, Zhang Daqi boldly discussed wellness with Zhuang Cheng for a while before heading back to Qingcheng County with Hu Linsheng.
Though Hu Linsheng agreed to work for Zhang Zhijun, he still needed to inspect the reality at Jiji.
After over an hour’s drive, they finally arrived at Qingcheng County. On the taxi ride to Jiji, the driver couldn’t stop praising Jiji.
Had the taxi not been randomly hired, Hu Linsheng might have suspected a scam.
Even hearing the taxi driver’s nonstop praise, Hu Linsheng was still amazed when he arrived at Jiji.
Not to mention the genius positioning of the restaurant and the luxurious decor, the mere aroma of the dishes made him drool.
When Zhou Yong saw Zhang Daqi boldly bringing a stranger, he thought he was here to entertain him. He first called a waiter to prepare a table upstairs before approaching them.
Zhou Yong nodded, smiled at Hu Linsheng, and politely asked, "May I ask who this guest is?"
Before Zhang could answer, Hu Linsheng introduced himself, "Hello, I am Hu Linsheng, a chef invited by Mr. Zhang."
A chef? Zhou Yong couldn’t help but feel nervous. Why did Zhang suddenly invite a chef? Could he get along with another chef?
Zhou Yong nodded, smiled again at Hu Linsheng, then boldly pulled Zhang Daqi aside and whispered, "What are you up to? Master Li has always been in charge of the kitchen. Are you worried about causing dissatisfaction?"
While Jiji was boldly run and the food provided by him, the head chef was still Chef Li.
If Mr. Li refused to accept Hu Linsheng, it would cause conflict and potentially destroy Jiji. So, Zhou Yong’s concern was valid.
Moreover, Zhang proposing a 50,000-yuan monthly salary for Hu Lin was likely to arouse Chef Li’s jealousy, disrupting harmony.
Listening to Zhou Yong mention Chef Li, Zhang Daqi finally realized that he might have acted too hastily without prior preparation.
"Don’t mention Hu Linsheng’s identity to the chefs yet; treat him as an ordinary guest. Let’s see how it goes before I talk to Chef Li!" Zhang Dadan advised.
Seeing Zhang’s thoughtful approach, Zhou Yong said no more. He warmly invited Hu Linsheng upstairs to taste their dishes, attempting to evaluate his skills.
Having specialized in medicinal diets, besides flavor, Hu Linsheng placed great emphasis on the nutritional value of the dishes.
Thus, Hu Linsheng’s series of dishes utterly astonished Zhou Yong. Was he a chef or a traditional medicine practitioner?
Just when Zhou Yong was stunned, a waiter rushed in, gasping.
"No good... our shop... a lot of cars stopped at our entrance. A large group of people came in. They insist... on meeting Boss Zhang!"
Hearing this, Zhang Dadan appeared both amazed and provoked.
"Panic! How impactful can it be? I’ll go take a look!" Zhang Dadan barked at the waiter.
Then he reassured Hu Linsheng, leaving Zhou Yong to accompany him upstairs before heading downstairs with the waiter.
Before reaching the downstairs hall, Zhang Dadan had recognized the people; they were from the Qian Family, and Qian Dongcheng was among them.
