Chapter 1531: Personally thanking
Yuan Zhou told master Cheng to come at 2:30 in the afternoon. However, master Cheng came early. Of course, he didnât dare to come too early.
After all, it wouldnât be good if he couldnât wait. Therefore, master Cheng came here during lunchtime. He directly grabbed the work of Cheng Cheng and Zhou Jia.
He directly chased the two little girls out to greet the customers in line. He took a cloth and squatted down with his huge and solid body, wiping with great energy.
âThe shop is very clean.â Yuan Zhou couldnât help saying when he saw master Cheng working hard.
âI know, master, your shop is spotless, but I have to do something. Iâm your disciple.â Master Cheng said without raising his head.
âYes, sure.â After a nod, Yuan Zhou continued to process the ingredients.
Inside the restaurant, a master and a disciple were preparing the ingredients while the other was wiping the tables and chairs, as if he wanted to climb the ceiling. Outside, it was also very lively.
This was especially true for professor Herbert and the other two who had made an appointment with Mr. Gurner today. Now, the three of them had already won and joined the team. They were all queuing up behind Wu Hai.
Of course, Ling Hong was still with ruan Xiaoqing as usual. However, before he came, he had told her that a friend of his would be treating him today. After getting her approval, Ling Hong agreed to professor Herbertâs invitation.
Right now, professor Herbert was at the front of the line. Behind him were Ling Hong and ruan Xiaoqing, followed by Mr. Manion who was pushing the wheelchair.
âI didnât expect Mr. Gurner to come here for dinner every day. Weâve met a few times, but we just didnât say hello.â Professor Herbert said with a smile.
âYes, itâs indeed a coincidence, and we did miss it.â Ling Hong replied in fluent English.
âBut itâs good that weâve met now,â Professor Herbert smiled and said,ââThis is my good friend, Mr. Manion, and his wife.â
âGood day, you two.â Ling Hong turned his head and greeted Mr. And Mrs. Manion with a nod.
âHello, Mr. Gurner. Youâre so young.â Manion said.
âThank you, Madam. Youâre beautiful too.â Ling Hong could say such words at any time.
Moreover, what Ling Hong said was true. Xuelun was already much better than when she had just arrived. Her sunken cheeks were now more rosy. Although she was still thin and weak, she was much more energetic.
âThank you. Your girlfriend is very beautiful too.â Sharon looked at ruan Xiaoqing gently.
Ruan Xiaoqing blushed and said,ââWeâre still good friends. Weâre not together yet. â
Ruan Xiaoqing naturally replied in English. As an actuary, her English was naturally very fluent.
âOh, Iâm sorry.â Sharon immediately apologized.
âYouâre welcome. Iâm the one pursuing her, but I havenât gotten permission. â Ling Hong smiled evilly and adjusted the atmosphere.
Professor Herbert opened his mouth again,ââSpeaking of which, weâre here today to thank you, segunaya.â
âYes, thank you, Mr. Gurner.â Manion said.
âYouâre welcome. I was just asking for advice.â Ling Hong shook his head.
âNo, no, no. Itâs all thanks to you that Mr. Yuanâs restaurant is open. Otherwise, Sharon wouldnât be able to eat anything right now.â Manion shook his head in a serious manner.
Ling Hong looked at Sharon in the wheelchair in surprise, but he didnât say anything.
Thatâs right. Ling Hong had thought that professor Herbert was thanking him because he had found a new research direction. He didnât expect that it was actually Mr. Manion who was thanking him more seriously.
âYes, my wife is suffering from pancreatic cancer.â Manion looked at his wife, Sharon, and said in a gentle tone.
âIâm sorry. â Ling Hong apologized quickly. After all, his suspicion just now was a bit like prying into other peopleâs privacy.
âItâs fine, thereâs nothing I canât say. Itâs just that I didnât want people to think that I canât take care of myself at first, but now I have to do it.â Sharon said cheerfully.
âIâve always been here. â Manion lowered his head and kissed Sharonâs forehead.
âItâs only right for him to thank you. Itâs true that you asked me about pancreatic cancer back then, and thatâs why I suggested coming here to try it out. Itâs a miracle that Sharon could really eat one-third of a normal personâs food.â Professor Herbert said seriously.
âNo, itâs not a miracle. Itâs because of that chef.â Sharon retorted.
âYes, yes, itâs not a miracle, but I think that Mr. Chef is a miracle. His hands have magic, and the food he makes is too delicious.â Professor Herbert smacked his lips and mumbled.
âThank you very much for the inspiration I gave you, but youâre welcome. After all, I started it because I needed to consult.â Ling Hong said honestly.
âYes, so weâll treat you to a meal here.â âI canât make a reservation,â Manion said with a smile.âBut the food here is delicious.â
âYes, I am.â Ling Hong nodded his head approvingly.
Ling Hong, professor Herbert, Manion, and Sharon, who would interrupt from time to time, were chatting very enthusiastically. Of course, they would also throw the conversation to ruan Xiaoqing.
However, ruan Xiaoqing was looking at Ling Hong more often than not.
Before today, ruan Xiaoqing had no idea what Ling Hong had done for her. She might have thought that Ling Hong would inquire about pancreatic cancer.
However, she did not expect that he would be able to contact Doctor Herbert, an expert in pancreatic cancer from the United States. Ever since ruan Xiaoqing found out about this disease, she had naturally tried to find a way to treat it.
Of course, she did want to look for the specialist in pancreatic cancer, but she couldnât even get a call from professor Herbertâs assistant, let alone meet the famous expert doctor Herbert in person.
From this point alone, ruan Xiaoqing understood how much effort Ling Hong had put in without her knowing. But he didnât let her know about it at all.
This made ruan Xiaoqingâs heart sour and soft, and there was an indescribable complexity.
Ruan Xiaoqing felt even more sour when she saw Ling Hongâs nonchalant manner that was not worth mentioning. This kind of silent concern was like a breeze that made her feel comfortable but not annoying.
âThank you,â he said. Ruan Xiaoqing looked at Ling Hongâs arrogant spiky hair and his sunny smile and couldnât help sighing in her heart.
âItâs time for lunch. Please come in for your meal. â Zhou Jiaâs voice broke their conversation. Immediately, the customers in the line prepared to enter the restaurant very quickly.
Ling Hong turned around and looked at ruan Xiaoqing out of habit. He happened to see ruan Xiaoqingâs complicated eyes and gentle expression. He couldnât help asking,ââWhatâs wrong?â
âNothing, I just wanted to thank someone.â Ruan Xiaoqing was looking into the shop when she said this.
âThank you, boss Yuan? Heâll be very happy. â Ling Hong didnât ask what he was thanking her for, but just said that.
âYes, Iâll say it myself.â Ruan Xiaoqing nodded.
