Xiao Bing ate some food outside. It was already dark when he entered Su Family's house. Starting from today, this was Xiao Bing's temporary home.
According to Su Xiaoxiao's words, the room on the right side of the toilet belonged to Su Peiya, that would be his room now. Xiao Bing wanted to search around for the so-called evidence, but after thinking again, he thought it impolite to do this. So, after taking a bath, he went back to the room to sleep.
Xiao Bing was lied on the bed and saw a picture of Su Peiya before her death by the bedside. He immediately picked up the picture. It was a beautiful woman who looked hot and young. Compared with Su Xiaoxiao, the beauty in the picture was much more enthusiastic and unrestrained. Xiao Bing felt sad, sighed, and put the picture back again.
The next morning, Xiao Bing went to the Xiaoxiao Noodle House. The inside of the noodle shop had been cleaned up. The smashed glasses, damaged tables, and chairs were replaced. Xiao Bing looked around and praised Wang Guizhi standing beside. "Good. Your work is very efficient. Is it ready for business?"
"This is all credit to everyone." Wang Guizhi had received orders from Su Xiaoxiao's mother, Li Chunlan, for them to listen to Xiao Bing, the deputy store manager. So, although Xiao Bing looked young and did not know everyone well, Wang Guizhi's attitude was still very respectful. "Manager, shall I call all the employees here and introduce them to you?"
Xiao Bing laughed and said, "It's better to introduce them, so it will be more convenient to work together in the future. Besides, Auntie Wang, you are so much older than me, and you're also a veteran of the store. Just call me Lil Bin like Auntie Li does."
Wang Guifang was glad and relieved to find Xiao Bing so accommodating. She was really worried that the new manager would be difficult to be with. It now seemed that her worry was unnecessary. She then summoned all the staff quickly.
Xiao Bing had met the other two employees before, but they just did not know each other. After they introduced themselves, Xiao Bing knew that one of them was called Zhang Jing and the other was called Li Hong. Both of them looked for a living after graduating from junior college and were two or three years younger than Xiao Bing. Normaly, Wang Guifang was in charge of the back kitchen, while Li Chunlan, the boss, was in charge of the store's exclusive lamian. As for the two younger sisters, Zhang Jing was in charge of the cashier and Li Hong was the store's waitress.
Xiao Bing was about the same age as the two waitresses, plus Xiao Bing had always been kind, so they became close to each other very soon.
Looking at the time, Xiao Bing found Wang Guifang and said, "You can start the business at noon. I have to go out first. There is still some issue at the hospital."
"Alright, you go first. We can handle the business here. People can just have our exclusive lamian another day."
Xiao Bing laughed and said, "Then I'll leave the store to you three. Thanks."
Xiao Bing went out and called a taxi. He then waited in the airport lobby for about twenty minutes when an old man with a crutch emerged in the crowd. A black bodyguard followed him.
Xiao Bing greeted him with a smile, "Old Zhang, I can't believe that I managed to invite such a great doctor here."
This old man in his 50s was the legendary doctor, Zhang Yizhi. The one behind him was also the famous top expert, Foye, in Beijing City who reached the Clear-strength Stage. It was said that Foye was once the top expert in the murderous Death Corps mercenaries in Africa. He happened to meet Zhang Yizhi after being seriously injured. After being rescued by Zhang Yizhi, he had been loyally staying with Zhang Yizhi and had never returned to Africa.
Zhang Yizhi turned a white eye to Xiao Bing and said with some complaint in his tone, "Little brother Xiao, since you retired from the army, you have rarely contacted me in recent years. This time you invited me here from Beijing. The relationship between the patient and you is definitely not normal, is it?"
Xiao Bing sighed, "Alas, it's Peiya's mother."
"Oh, is she the mother of Peiya? This is really a pity. Although I have no problem to do a successful surgery, you should know that one would die in two years with pancreatic adenocarcinoma, even if the surgery is successful."
"I know. Just do your best, and we'll leave it to destiny."
"Well, I can ensure the success of surgery, this you can rest assured. As for other aspects, life is still in god's hands! By the way, why didn't Peiya come with you? Is she staying with her mother in the hospital?"
Xiao Bing looked somewhat dejected and said, "It's a long story. Let's talk as we walk."
After the three people got off the car at the gate of the hospital, Zhang Yizhi looked heavy and asked, "So, her family doesn't know about what happened to Peiya yet?"
"Hem."
"Alas, I didn't expect such a good child to die so soon... Back then, I thought you could be a couple... Forget it, the past is over. Since Peiya's mother still has heart disease, let's keep the pancreatic adenocarcinoma secret from her first, as long as we can."
"I think so too."
"Then what about the Dragon Gate you created? Are you not going back?"
"For the time being, I want to be quiet and take good care of Peiya's family, especially when Su's mother is seriously ill."
As they talked, they walked to the second floor of the hospital. As soon as they got to the second floor, Xiao Bing's face changed. There was a fierce quarrel in Su's mother's room. Who disturbed Auntie Li at this time? Su Peiya's mother had just been rescued from a heart attack and still couldn't stand this kind of stimulation.
Xiao Bing's heart was so angry that he walked quickly toward the ward. Zhang Yizhi followed slowly with the crutch.
The door of the ward was surrounded by some nurses. Lil Bei was wearing a white coat and blended in with them. When he saw Xiao Bing coming, his eyes met Xiaobing's and he quickly averted.
After walking to the door of the ward, he heard Su Xiaoxiao shouting to the two little nurses, "Why? It's not that we didn't pay the money, why should we be expelled from the ward? Who gave you such rights?"
Xiao Bing went in, frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Su Xiaoxiao pointed to the two nurses and said, "They both asked my mother to move out of the hospital and go home for rest. But in the morning, the doctor also told us that we must have a good rest in the hospital bed for a few days and stay in the hospital for observation. Why should we be driven away?"
Li Chunlan also seemed to be very angry, leaning on his sickbed, clutching his chest and panting. Xiao Bing hurried over to hold Li Chunlan and said, "Auntie, don't be angry. I'll take care of this."
Su Xiaoxiao stared at the two nurses and asked, "Who gives you so much power?"
"I did!" Xiao Bing turned his head and looked toward the door. Two middle-aged old men in their fifties came in from the outside. One was wearing a white coat and a pair of glasses, the other was wearing a suit and tie, followed by a bodyguard.
The white-coated old man said, "I am Zhou Zeshan, the director of this hospital. I gave them the rights!"
Xiao Bing comforted Li Chunlan with a few words and then straightened up and looked at the director. His tone was not good. "I paid the money. It is only natural for the patient to stay in the hospital for observation. What's more, my Auntie Li hasn't fully recovered yet. Even if you are the director, why are you making us leave the hospital?"
The old man in a suit suddenly looked at Xiao Bing and smiled triumphantly, "Are you Xiao Bing? I am Xie Lun, father of Xie Gucheng."
Xiao Bing's eyes flashed a sharp color, he finally understood how things happened today. Indeed as expected. The saying went "like son, like father." The Xie Family's old dog had come to bully others.
Dragons had scales that defy. Those who obeyed survived, and those who disobeyed perished!
Xiao Bing sighed and looked at Li Chunlan helplessly. "Auntie Li, I didn't expect I was causing you trouble. Xiaoxiao, take care of your mother, and I'll take care of this."
Su Xiaoxiao did not think Xiao Bing could solve anything. What could a veteran do in society? Soldiers fought with courage and wisdom on the battlefield, while in order to gain a foothold in society, they need power and intrigue.
But when Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Bing's eyes met, her heart trembled for no reason. What a confident look it was. That kind of confidence was not intentionally revealed, but the strength and confidence that a successful man inadvertently showed.
"Lil Bin, don't argue with them. Let's change hospitals."
"Mom, I trust Brother Bing..."
At some point, Su Xiaoxiao's mentality had changed.
Xiao Bing met Xie Lun face to face and said with a faint tone, "If I'm not mistaken, is this because of Xie Gucheng?"
Xie Lun's face was confident and even overbearing. "You should understand by now that the Xie Family is not something you can provoke, young man. Before I change my mind, kneel down and beg for my forgiveness, otherwise, Jiang City will never have any place for you!"
Kneel down? How humiliating!
When Su Xiaoxiao's face changed, she said hastily, "Brother Bing, you can't promise him."
Li Chunlan was also furious. "Lil Bin, let's get out of the hospital. Jiangcheng is just one of the hospitals in Jiangcheng city. I really can't go home. Anyway, it doesn't matter."
Xie Lun sneered, "As long as I use my connections, no hospital will dare to take you in. Even if I leave the river, I have countless ways to deal with you until you die."
Xiao Bing sighed slightly and looked at Xie Lun with a kind of compassion, as if it was not Xie Lun who really dominated other people's lives, but himself. "That's really a pity. What I really can't stand is that someone deals with my family, relatives, and friends..."
Xie Lun said with some disdain, "Then what?"
Xiao Bing did not speak, but his cold, dark, and murderous look made Xie Lun fall to hell in an instant. His heart almost stopped beating, his whole body was cold, and his face turned pale. Zhou Zeshan rushed up to help Xie Lun and called out, "President Xie! President Xie! What's wrong with you?"
Xie Lun's face was blue and white. He pointed at Xiao Bing in anger and shouted angrily, "Director Zhou, this ungrateful person doesn't deserve any respect. Kick him out! Kick him out!"
Zhou Zeshan did not know how Xie Lun suddenly reacted so intensely. He hurriedly said, "Okay, okay. I'll call security. I'll call security."
After that, he turned his head and shouted at the little nurse, "What are you still doing here? Call the security guards here."
The little nurse was so frightened that her eyes turned red. She was about to go out to call someone when Xiao Bing suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
Zhou Zeshan said with anger, "What?"
Xiao Bing looked at Zhou Zeshan smilingly. "Director Zhou, this is a public hospital. The hospital serves the public. Do you think you can cover up everything?"
Zhou Zeshan paused, then burst out laughing, as if laughing at Xiao Bing's innocence and ignorance. "This is my hospital. Naturally, what I say counts!"
"You are the director here, but if you do something wrong and violate your conscience and professional ethics, there will naturally be others to punish you."
Zhou Zeshan looked arrogant and disdainful and said, "Who would punish me, you?"
Xiao Bing's eyes looked out of the door, and others followed Xiao Bing's eyes. Zhang Yizhi came in step by step under the help of Foye. When Zhou Zeshan saw the old man coming in clearly, he looked stunned and in disbelief, warbling, "Zhang... Elder Zhang... Why are you here?"
"You actually could recognize me." Zhang Yizhi glared at Zhou Zeshan coldly. Just simple eye contact made Zhou Zeshan break out in cold sweat. That was the majesty of someone higher ranked. "I... I had the fortune of attending the Hua Xia medical forum two years ago. And you were on the rostrum... You were the leading scholar at that time in the medical field in the whole of Hua Xia, I have been learning from you for all the time." While wiping his sweat, Zhou Zeshan said with a smile. But his smile was so awkward that it looked worse than crying. "What did you learn from me?" Zhang Yizhi said with a snort. "Did you learn how to be corrupt, bully others with your influence, disregard human lives, and take saving people as a joke from me?" "N-no." Zhou Zeshan said with his voice trembling. "As an executive member and lifelong honorary president of Hua Xia Medical Association, I announce, from now on, y
After working at the noodle restaurant for a while, Xiao Bing invited Zhang Yizhi for dinner. And it was exactly at the Su family's noodle restaurant. The noodle restaurant wasn't spacious. There were seven or eight tables in the hall and two small private rooms for five or six people at the back. Xiao Bing reserved one of the private rooms for the dinner. He got Wang Guifang, who was in charge of the kitchen, to make two side dishes to go with drinks, a dish of peanuts and a pot of hot soup noodles. Right after the food was ready, Zhang Yizhi walked into the restaurant clutching his cane. Zhang Yizhi took a look at the hall, which was already full of students in groups of two or three. Seeing Zhang Yizhi coming in, Xiao Bing immediately walked to greet him, "Mr. Zhang, I hope you don't mind, here is not as good as those lavish restaurants in the capital." "Not bad." From Zhang Yizhi's attitude, he meant it. "This is a good place to dine
Noodles are not unusual. Jiangcheng had many such noodle shops, but the Su's ramen noodles were very exquisite in workmanship. Others wouldn't know its secret, so they couldn't learn just by watching. Xiao Bing kneaded the noodles into a ball, then made it into a strip, neither too thin nor too thick. He then put the strip on the chopping board and used the kitchen knife in his hand to cut the strip into even pieces in spectacular fashion. Perhaps it was to highlight the uniqueness of the noodles made by the Su family: the noodles in the Xiaoxiao Noodle House was made in the hall, so that every customer could see it personally. When Xiao Bing did it, everyone in the store was dumbfounded. Kneading, molding, cutting, and rolling. The process of making noodles was so fluid that it looked like magic. The way Li Chunlan made the noodles was perfect, but Xiao Bing made it look like an artform. No one had ever thought that making noodles could actually become artistic
Xie Lun opened the door and went in. The room was not big, and it looked like an ordinary bedroom. Peony flowers of various colors were planted around the room, and the room was full of its fragrance. The bed was blocked by a pink curtain. Behind the curtain, a seductive silhouette could be made out. It couldn't be seen clearly, but a sensual figure lay on the bed on the other side of the curtain, both alluring and enticing. "Mr. Xie... Please sit." Xie Lun looked around and found a chair against the wall, walking to it before sitting down. Xie Lun himself was not an ordinary person. Though he was considered well-known in the Jiangcheng business field, he was currently feeling incredibly uneasy. "Mr. Xie." The voice from inside was incredibly captivating. Every sentence, every word was like a slender and smooth finger gliding across Xie Lun's face, neck, and chest... It made it difficult for him to endure. "This time, are you here
Xiao Bing walked the three girls to the door after the noodle restaurant had closed. "Let me take you home." As Yezi was going to answer, a car stopped right in front of them. A man dressed in black leaned his head out the open window. He said in a respectful tone, "Miss, the master asked me to take you home." Yezi helplessly looked at Xiao Bing, "Do you want a ride?" "No need." Xiao Bing smiled, "It's getting late. You and your friends should go home quickly. Good night." "Good night." Yezi's eyes seemed to shine brightly, which appealed to Xiao Bing, "Brother Bing, don't forget, you owe me a drink." "I won't forget. I'll call you!" Chen Yuanyuan and Xu Wenting laughed, "Well, don't be reluctant to say goodbye. Next time, we promise we won't be the third wheels. Brother Bing, bye for now. Yezi, we'll take your free ride." After Yezi ackno
The next morning, Su Xiaoxiao had already finished preparing breakfast when Xiao Bing got up. Xiao Bing was really comforted when he realized that his breakfast was also prepared. Xiao Bing greeted with a smile, "Good morning." Su Xiaoxiao seemed to have forgotten what had happened last night. Or perhaps she didn't want to mention it anymore. “Good morning." She replied, indifferent, while eating a piece of sponge cake in a bowl. Xiao Bing sat down and picked up a small spoon. He scooped up a spoonful of sponge cake. There was also a plate of steamed buns beside it. The taste of the sponge cake was perfect. Xiao Bing could not help praising, "Did you make it by yourself? It's really good!" Even though she was still unfriendly, Su Xiaoxiao was more at ease compared to yesterday. She probably felt sorry about the stomping. She finished her sponge cake and put down her spoon. She then picked up the napkin beside her and wiped her mou
Yu Hao was incredibly angry. He looked at Xiao Bing and thought, 'although he's better looking and his temperament is better than mine, that was it. What's more, he's dressed in rags and doesn't even have decent clothes. He shouldn't be wealthy. How could Yezi like him? She is really picky about boys, I must have overthought it.' Yu Hao hurried here because one of his friends saw Yezi in the noodle shop with a man. He came here hastily after hearing it. Yu Hao dispelled the worry in his heart. He asked, "Yezi, this man next to you, why don't you introduce him?" "Hello, I'm Yezi's good friend." Xiao Bing stood up with a smile and held out his right hand at the same time. The words 'good friend', which Xiao Bing had emphasized, made Yu Hao frown. "I'm Yu Hao, Yezi's friend." Yu Hao quickly shook hands with Xiao Bing and drew back his hand. He even took out a handkerchief and wiped his hand as if he had touched something dirty.
"Is the Fengshui of our Xiaoxiao Noodle House very bad? Ever since the shop opened here, incidents have always occurred." Wang Guifang sighed when Yezi, Chen Yuanyuan, and Xu Wenting left, and stared at the empty restaurant. Too many things had happened lately. The boss died in a car accident, and following that, the shop was messed up. The boss' wife ended up in the hospital after that. And today... Xiao Bing clapped his hands and gathered everyone around. He said seriously, "Please trust me. The Xiaoxiao Noodle House will be a blessed place. It is said that good fortune follows upon disaster, and disaster lurks within good fortune. The end of disaster is the beginning of good fortune." Zhang Jing laughed, "Brother Bing, was that your girlfriend, the little beauty who comes every day?" "Not yet..." Zhang Jing laughed, "Not yet? but you're even going on a date tonight. She's the campus belle, yet
