300- Stupid As A Bull (笨如牛)

  It was as if the atmosphere within the tea house had stagnated. Chu Rong only hoped that Jing Yun Zhao would arrive sooner rather than later. They really didn’t know what to do about this situation.

  As they were looking forward to it, the atmosphere in the main hall suddenly turned restless.

  The groups of people from Ning City suddenly stood up and walked towards the entrance together with some sort of tacit understanding. Chu Rong originally thought it was Jing Yun Zhao who’d finally arrived, but when they looked up, it was actually an old man accompanied by a 16 or 17 year old boy.

  “Elder Tang, you’re here! Excuse me for not going out to greet you,” the corporate board member from before reached out for a handshake extremely politely, even going to the extent of bowing at the waste.

  “It’s Xiao Xu, your speed is fast enough!” Elder Tang gave him a side glance and smiled.

  Meanwhile, on the other side, the deputy mayor also walked over with a face full of surprise, “Elder Tang, why are you……here too?”


  “The kid is my grandson’s benefactor and she told me they serve good tea here, so of course I have to come and give it a try.” Once Elder Tang was done, he walked into the tea house.

  The crowd parted and made way for him.

  Even though the saying went ‘commoners do not contend with officials’, Elder Tang had the absolute right to speak up in Ning City. In his hands were several businesses in different industries, generous amounts of assets, and in this era where everything was about money and everything was evil, his status was naturally majestic. His age only added on to his majesty.

  The County Chief who was originally only here to make up for numbers couldn’t even close his mouth at this point. He originally thought that it was because this tea house was Bai Yu An’s that there were so many people who were here to give him face, but he didn’t think so anymore!

  No matter how great Bai Yu An was, he was still only the General Manager of an up and coming startup. His worth and those of the ones present here were incomparable. Moreover, even the Deputy Mayor was here. Setting aside the County Mayor, that was the Deputy Mayor!

  Also, even though he didn’t know who the old man was, but his style was true bravery, one that no one can guard against.1 Because everyone called him Elder Tang, they couldn’t help but think of the richest individual in Ning City, Tang Lin.

  By this time, Chu Rong was already kind of numb to everything. Just now, they had secretly given Bai Yu An a call to ask if the people here were all his doing. How would they know that Bai Yu An would be even more flabbergasted? He even got them to keep those name cards well, he’d come down personally to get them!

  These crocodiles weren’t people one would be able to meet just because they wanted to, their name cards weren’t something anyone could get too.

  If Bai Yu An had known beforehand that there’d be so many big figures just because of a tea house, he’d have asked Jing Yun Zhao to open it earlier.

  Of course, although he was thrilled, Bai Yu An was still as lost as Chu Rong.

  He couldn’t help but think that this situation was too incredible, just how did Jing Yun Zhao do it?!

  Meanwhile, Jing Yun Zhao took her time to arrive.

  But when she finally showed up, the people present were all evidently more agitated than Chu Rong themselves. The reaction was pretty much about the same as when they were welcoming Elder Tang previously!

  “Doctor Jing, you’re here……”


  “It’s only been a few days, but it seems like Doctor Jing became prettier again?”


  “Doctor Jing, quickly come and help me take a look whether I’ve fully recovered……”
……

  Chu Rong’s lips twitched. Didn’t these people love the tea they brewed? To discuss illnesses in a tea house, what kind of situation was this? Could they chase everyone away?!

  “I thank everyone for coming here for my sake, or I think this tea house would have been empty today. I wonder what everyone thinks about the tea? If it’s not to your taste, you can request the servers to change it for you. Everyone’s tea today is on me,” Jing Yun Zhao announced.

  Speaking of, she had Old Man Xu to thank.

  These people here were either her previous patients or their family. When she mentioned to Old Man Xu that she was going to start a tea house business, she asked him for advice on how to increase her reputation. In the end, Old Man Xu just rolled his eyes at her and called ‘as stupid as a bull’.

  Only then did she know Old Man Xu’s true purpose for recommending patients to her!

  On one hand, it was to expand her medical knowledge. On the other hand, it was to increase her influence and connections.
