Everything is ready now. I'll serve rice to each of you right away!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, Hu Xiaobei picked up a tray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once ready, Hu Xiaobei lifted the pot lid!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the aroma of freshly steamed rice wafted through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, the fragrance! It's truly fragrant!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon smelling the rice's aroma, everyone excitedly praised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, everyone's gaze shifted to the large pot of rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the steam completely dissipated, everyone saw clearly - grain after grain of plump rice appeared in the pot, looking so tempting it made people swallow involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the heck is up with this fragrance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person from the dining department's eyelids twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he glanced at Chef Zhang, standing next to him, and quickly spoke, \"Chef Zhang, why does this rice smell so unique? Surely something was added, right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought for sure something had been added to enhance the fragrance, otherwise there's no reason for it to smell this good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At first, I thought something was added too, but looking closely, it doesn't seem like anything was added at all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frowning, Zhang Tongren shared his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can that be! This rice tastes way better than ours here! Something had to have been added!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Zhang Tongren's explanation, he couldn't accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, the hotel would never lose in terms of rice quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the hotel always imported materials from abroad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing his reasoning, Zhang Tongren squinted his eyes and said, \"You've heard of Xiaobei Brand before, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've heard of Xiaobei Brand, are you saying...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes! If I'm not mistaken, this rice is definitely Xiaobei Brand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's possible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Responding this way, he squinted his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Song Yaling and Hu Xiaobei were very close!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Song Yaling represented Xiaobei Brand, so this rice could indeed be the highly revered Xiaobei Brand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Tongren glanced at him and said, \"If I'm not mistaken, the person serving the rice is the legendary founder of Xiaobei Brand, Hu Xiaobei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dining department head widened his eyes and looked at Hu Xiaobei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he found the situation really tricky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, that troublemaker Sun Zi, why the hell did he rent this place to Hu Xiaobei?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was really angry now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Sun Zi hadn't done that, Hu Xiaobei wouldn't have had such an easy chance to mess up his scene here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Achoo, Achoo! Is some beauty thinking of me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Sun Zi's office, Sun Zi was checking the information on his computer when he suddenly sneezed twice in a row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muttering this to himself, his eyes suddenly shone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's because Sun Zi had found the information he was looking for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After examining it for a while, Sun Zi crossed his legs and spoke joyfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This lovely beauty has only been here for a week as an intern! That means I have plenty of time to slowly develop a relationship with her! But, as a love guru, I don't need that much time. A week tops and she'll be mine completely! Of course, if I fail, I can just use my position to threaten her! Either way, I'll succeed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he said this, he began wildly daydreaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the door burst open with a kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden commotion shocked him out of his chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like that, he jumped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's going on? An earthquake?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muttering to himself, he quickly looked toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only to find seven or eight security guards standing at his office door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cursed in his heart and hysterically yelled, \"What? Are you looking for trouble!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing such an angry scolding, they hesitated slightly where they stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, if this was usually the case, they would've long since apologized and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not today; they were here on orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing they had no intention of leaving, Sun Zi's expression turned exceptionally dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's the deal? You idiots not planning to leave? Or should I personally escort you out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Manager Sun, we're here on business!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the furious rebuke, one of them plucked up courage and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of business crap! Your security matters should be handled by your security captain, why bother me? Get lost! All of you get lost!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they said they had business, Sun Zi paused for a second before lashing out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, these goons really had nothing to do with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because their rank was not equal to his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their captain could at least chat with him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Manager Sun, it's the dining department manager who sent us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dining department?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes twitched, and he quickly stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary folks he dared provoke, but not the dining department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he knew they were Sun Yanshui's confidants; offend them, and he'd face endless issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right, the dining department manager, everyone's outside now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I got it, I'll be right out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Sun Zi grabbed his coat and rushed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his utterly panicked demeanor, they smirked coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, weren't you acting all high and mighty just now? Keep going! Why aren't you continuing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, they hurriedly followed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The dining department manager is Wang Dewei; he's someone you definitely can't offend!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Zi knew Wang Dewei was on great terms with Sun Yanshui, and more importantly, Wang Dewei was extremely competent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew if he offended Wang Dewei now, he'd face endless troubles, and worse, he might not even get the chance to suffer from minor issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because by then, he might directly be fired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I still don't know why Wang Dewei is looking for me, but I certainly need to show myself well!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about the chance to finally showcase himself in front of him, Sun Zi felt a surge of excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, he dashed out impulsively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside in the hotel plaza, he saw Wang Dewei, Lin Yong, and Zhang Tongren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chef Zhang is here too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muttering to himself, he quickly approached, \"Manager Wang, I heard you wanted to see me! You could've just sent someone to notify me; I would have gone to your office! No need to make a trip personally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing such courteous words, Wang Dewei slightly frowned and said, \"It's better if I come personally; after all, you're the hotel's hotshot now! Even dared to rent out our hotel plaza!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm no hotshot whatsoever, I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he politely gestured, Sun Zi suddenly looked at Wang Dewei with astonishment, then awkwardly said, \"Manager Wang, your words earlier... I'm a bit confused! What do you mean I rented out our hotel plaza?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop playing dumb with me here; do you think I'm blind?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, he wanted to say something but suddenly noticed a crowd not far away...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Sun Zi's eyes widened, and he quickly looked at Lin Yong's glum expression and loudly questioned, \"What... what's going on here? Why are there so many people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, I'm catching flak from both ends here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to bear it any longer, Lin Yong hollered at Sun Zi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scratching his head, Lin Yong looked at Sun Zi, glared, and shouted, \"What nonsense are you asking! How would I know why there are so many people here? The usage rights to this place were leased out by you previously, weren't they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1288,"2026-06-06T13:49:28.648Z",1,"novelbin.me","135c4728acb5fcba48c6d188873ae7cdc98f8c451b584c7b289d5f9f41b57d26","small-farmer-medical-god-chapter-1344","small-farmer-medical-god-chapter-1342",1857,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsmall-farmer-medical-god-cover.jpg"]
