Huh? This point, how come there are still so many Shou Bing? Zheng Ren was stunned for a moment.

「What kind of person is Sister Lin? She's shrewd to the Bone. She'd definitely take money directly for one Shou Bing from Old Liu, finish it and go home with cash. Has Old Liu seen the world? He'd surely work like crazy doing Shou Bing. 」Su Yun laughed

「Hmm... 」 Zheng Ren pondered, 「Then let's go take a look? 」

「I guess Sister Lin thinks the same way. 」Su Yun laughed: 「But that's it, there's not much to quibble about. If we don't do a few Shou Bing on Old Liu, I'm afraid you won't be at ease either. 」

「All right. 」 Zheng Ren looked at Lin Ge, smiling: 「Director Lin, let's go over here to check out the Shou Bing. 」

「You're busy, you're busy. 」 Lin Ge quickly laughed.

「After work, let Yi Ren take you and Director Kong to eat. 」 Zheng Ren said, 「We'll go straight over there. 」

「Too polite, I'll just drive myself over. 」

「Not drinking? 」 Su Yun said with a laugh: 「Every time we eat, we can't settle down; today let's have a good drink. 」

「That works too, I just won't drive. 」 Lin Ge also straightforwardly.

Zheng Ren took out his phone and glanced at the time.

There are still five or six Shou Bing; subtracting the time delayed on the road, it should be about right. I just don't know how the patient handoff is on Lin JiaoJiao's side; if only it had half of Ning Shu's skill...

Just thinking of Ning Shu, Zheng Ren felt awful.
