"Thank you, Director Zhou! I'll definitely make the most of this opportunity!"

Zhang Xianyang sat up straight, speaking loudly with an excited expression.

"I went to a lot of trouble to get Sun Lao to come this time."

Zhou Zhengbang nodded, speaking with a stern expression: "I've already arranged the hospital's procedures. I see you're quite knowledgeable about food, and you and Sun Lao are fellow countrymen, so I want to leave the dinner arrangements for tomorrow night to you."

It turned out Director Zhou had called him for this matter.

Zhang Xianyang breathed a sigh of relief inside; when he had entered earlier and seen Director Zhou's stern face, it had made him a bit nervous.

Sun Lao had traveled a long way to come here, so he should be properly entertained.

As a veteran foodie in the hospital, Zhang Xianyang knew every region's cuisine in Jiang City like the back of his hand.

Just arranging a meal wasn't difficult for him.

"No problem. Does Sun Lao have any dietary restrictions? I'm familiar with those high-end restaurants in Jiangcheng, so at that time, definitely..."

"No." Zhou Zhengbang interrupted him, then continued: "Sun Lao prefers to keep a low profile and doesn't like extravagance and waste. I heard that last time he went to another hospital for an inspection, they booked him a five-star hotel, which made him very unhappy."

"I've thought about it. We shouldn't go anywhere too expensive, but it can't be too ordinary either."

Hearing this, Zhang Xianyang immediately removed several high-end restaurants from his mind and began thinking of a few more distinctive restaurants.

That old-brand Hunan restaurant in City South— their chopped chili fish head is very authentic.

It takes about an hour to drive there. If we're going to his place, we'll need to call and reserve soon; that place does good business, and if we go late, we'll have to wait a long time.

Also, the spicy fish hot pot at that City South place isn't bad either; the boss is from Chuan Yu, so it should suit Sun Lao's taste as well.

I just don't know if it's appropriate for Sun Lao, at his age, to eat too spicy... If all else fails, I'll have the boss make it mildly spicy.

"By the way, Sun Lao has been traveling all day tomorrow, so the place shouldn't be too far."

Zhang Xianyang was frowning in thought when he suddenly heard Zhou Zhengbang add another sentence.

Hearing this, Zhang Xianyang frowned even tighter, and suddenly felt this mission was becoming arduous.

For a figure of Sun Lao's level, to make him satisfied with the food, yet not too expensive, and not too far away.

Isn't this making things difficult for me, Pang Hu?

In that case, why not just have Sun Lao eat at the hospital cafeteria?

But Zhang Xianyang certainly couldn't say that out loud, so he could only nod reluctantly and promise to go back and think it over carefully.

"Xiao Zhang, Sun Lao coming this time is a big deal for our hospital, but I believe you can definitely arrange it well."

Zhou Zhengbang stood up, patted Zhang Xianyang on the shoulder, and gave him a look of trust.

Zhang Xianyang squeezed out a smile on his face, but in his heart he was worried about the arrangements for tomorrow night.

Zhang Xianyang walked out of the director's office with his brow tightly furrowed, his mind still searching hard for restaurants that met Director Zhou's requirements.

One restaurant name after another surfaced, and was quickly passed over by him.

"Doctor Zhang, what are you doing? Watch where you're walking."

Zhang Xianyang was walking down the corridor with a heavy heart, not noticing Feng Jiao in front of him; the two collided head-on, and Feng Jiao rubbed the spot on her head where she had been hit, speaking somewhat reproachfully.

Zhang Xianyang came back to his senses and hurriedly apologized: "Sorry, I was just thinking about something."

"What's wrong with you? Walking absentmindedly—Director Zhou wouldn't have scolded you, would he?"

Feng Jiao looked at Zhang Xianyang's worried expression and asked curiously.

"Sigh! No, it's just..."

Zhang Xianyang spoke with a troubled heart, his gaze sweeping over Feng Jiao's gossipy expression, and he suddenly didn't want to say anymore: "Forget it, telling you won't help, you can't help with anything anyway."

"Tsk, fine, don't say it then, stingy ghost."

Feng Jiao gave him an annoyed look, then turned around and left, reminding Zhang Xianyang as she left: "By the way, you promised to treat me to a meal at Lu Boss's place tomorrow, don't forget!"

Zhang Xianyang was already worried; how could he have the heart to think about treating Feng Jiao to dinner tomorrow? He said casually: "I have something tomorrow, next time..."

Suddenly, his footsteps paused, and he knocked hard on his own head.

Zhang Xianyang, you've got a pig brain!

How could I forget Lu Boss?

Lu Feng's shop is just across the street from the hospital, and the prices aren't high either.

More importantly, his culinary skills will definitely satisfy Sun Lao!

Isn't this the perfect choice?

Seeing Zhang Xianyang's action, Feng Jiao was startled, thinking something had happened to him, and hurriedly ran over, asking worriedly: "Doctor Zhang, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly hit your head for no reason?"

Zhang Xianyang, on the other hand, was so happy he got carried away, and gave Feng Jiao a big hug.

Feng Jiao was startled, hurriedly broke free from his embrace, retreated several steps with a thud-thud-thud, looked at Zhang Xianyang with a guarded expression, her face flushed red, and said: "Doctor Zhang, behave yourself, I... I already have a boyfriend!"

Zhang Xianyang smiled apologetically, his face extremely relaxed: "Sorry sorry, I was just too excited! Jiao Jiao, thanks for reminding me!"

"What?" Feng Jiao was completely baffled, frowning as she asked.

Zhang Xianyang looked at Feng Jiao and said: "Jiao Jiao, let's postpone the dinner treat for tomorrow night. Next week when Lu Boss is open for business, I'll bring my portion back for you to eat, I'll treat you for a week!"

"Really?" Feng Jiao's eyes lit up when she heard that.

Tomorrow she's on the night shift, she can go to Lu Feng's place to eat by herself.

The key is next week, she can eat for free for a week; she naturally wouldn't pass up such a good thing.

Zhang Xianyang smiled and nodded, turned around humming a song, and walked toward his office.

At noon the second time, Yunding Huating Villa District.

On the sofa in the living room of Villa No. 9 Courtyard, a little girl was curled up on the sofa.

Her arms were frighteningly thin, traces of an IV drip remained on the back of her hand, and her delicate little face looked somewhat pale.

Lin Yiming sat beside her, holding the liquid food the nutritionist had just made, with some worry between his brows.

"Xi Xi, won't you take another bite? Just a small one."

Lin Xi shook her head, burying her head deep into the throw pillow, looking as if she absolutely did not want to eat.

Lin Yiming sighed, set the bowl aside, and touched his daughter's head: "Still can't eat? Go lie down in your room for a while; in a moment the driver will bring the car around, and we'll go to the hospital."

Lin Xi lifted her head, looking at Lin Yiming with a wronged expression, and said softly: "Daddy, I... don't want to go to the hospital."

"Xi Xi, be obedient. This time Daddy has invited a particularly skilled doctor for you; he will definitely cure you. Once you're well, Daddy will buy you whatever you want to eat."

Lin Yiming held his daughter in his arms with heartache, gently patting her back to comfort her.

Outside the villa, a gentle breeze blew, lifting a corner of the living room's high-end curtains.

Lin Yiming frowned; he had clearly instructed the servants to keep the house's windows tightly shut at all times.

He stood up, about to tell the servants to close the windows, when his daughter's somewhat surprised voice came from behind him.

"Daddy, it smells so good. Is someone outside making something delicious?"

Lin Yiming was stunned, turning around to look at Lin Xi on the sofa in disbelief.
