Chapter 141: One hundred forty-one He really can’t hold it anymore_1 Chapter 141: One hundred forty-one He really can’t hold it anymore_1 What kind of child is this!

So cute, right!

Even asleep, they don’t forget the DaBaiTu milk candy in their mouth.

He couldn’t help but turn back to take another look.

With that glance, the expression on his face instantly changed, showing some surprise.

Isn’t that a coincidence!

Isn’t this the family of three that the crazy department head treated this morning?

Thinking of that crazy woman, he just couldn’t help but feel angry!

Although her medical skills are unquestionable, she is just too unsympathetic.

Vicious as hell!

Compared to Elder Master Miejue, she is even worse.

I really wonder what kind of people this family is to warrant such good treatment from her.

Thinking about it, Dajing Jiezhi couldn’t help but reach out and poke Gu Chen’s back.

Gu Chen turned his head subconsciously.

After seeing Dajing Jiezhi’s face clearly, his brows furrowed, and he squinted his eyes.

He seemed to be trying to recall something. Why does this person look so familiar?

But he really couldn’t remember where he had seen Gu Chen before.

“You are?” Gu Chen asked hesitantly.

Dajing Jiezhi laughed loudly.

“We saw the doctor together this morning. You really are a forgetful person of high status!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen seemed to remember.

He nodded his head, “Oh, it’s you.”

“That’s right, we’re fellow patients!” said Dajing Jiezhi, bursting into laughter.

Gu Chen blinked. Fellow patients?

He was there for a health check-up, his ailment hadn’t even been diagnosed yet, how did he become a fellow patient?

He gave a forced smile.

“Oh, brother, what’s your illness again?”

At this question, Dajing Jiezhi pursed his lips.

“I don’t know either, been having headaches all the time. That doctor said it’s probably a nerve-related female issue, but I think she doesn’t know squat.”

Gu Chen: “…”

A nerve-related disease, huh!

He smiled awkwardly.

“Actually, I’m here for a check-up.”

He doesn’t have a mental illness; he’s perfectly fine!

Dajing Jiezhi nodded, “Oh, right, brother. My name is Kong Haicheng. Everyone calls me Old Kong. What’s your name?”

Gu Chen extended his right hand politely.

“Gu Chen.”

Seeing Gu Chen chatting with someone else, Ji Pianran quickly held Tangtang in her arms.

To make Gu Chen’s posture more comfortable.

Dajing Jiezhi continued, “Brother, if I may ask, what do you do?”

After saying this, he thought about it and worried that it might seem impolite to immediately ask someone what they did for a living.

He took the initiative to introduce himself first.

“I don’t mean to brag, but I run a restaurant. Yongshengxiang, that’s mine.”

And he does have the demeanor to match a restaurant owner!

At these words, a spark appeared in Gu Chen’s eyes.

Yongshengxiang is a famous restaurant in the city.

He immediately laughed heartily, “What a coincidence. I, well, I sell vegetables!”

A restaurant owner meeting a vegetable vendor, isn’t that like a pot meeting rice?

The two most important things in a whole supply chain!

Unbelievably coincidental.

Dajing Jiezhi was taken aback, the shock on his face was evident.

Good grief!

A stinking vegetable seller!

He thought he was some big shot, but it turned out he was just a vegetable vendor!

Then why was that department head so nice to him?

It looked like he was most likely the director’s poor relative.

He originally thought that Gu Chen’s status must be extraordinary, thinking he could make a friend who was either rich or noble.

But unexpectedly, his status was a huge disappointment.

He casually let out an “oh,” a hint of disdain in his eyes, followed by a smile.

“Oh, buying vegetables, eh? That’s quite a coincidence, what’s the price of your vegetables? If it’s reasonable, I can have them supplied to my restaurant, bro can take care of your business.”

After all, he was a boss himself, and compared to him, the difference in status was like heaven and earth.

Dajing Jiezhi said this purely to show off his status.

Gu Chen also smiled, “I haven’t had vegetables recently, but I do have some matsutake mushrooms, not much though, just about ten pounds or so, do you want them?”

To tell the truth, Gu Chen hadn’t grown vegetables recently; aside from goji berries, Spirit Field only produced ginseng and matsutake mushrooms.

Compared to selling vegetables, he now felt that he should grow something valuable since that would bring in money faster.

At the mention of matsutake mushrooms, Dajing Jiezhi was startled.

He widened his eyes and unconsciously repeated Gu Chen’s words, “Matsutake mushrooms?”

Those things weren’t cheap at all.

They certainly weren’t something ordinary people could afford—they were priced like gold!

A single dish could cost six to seven hundred!

If it was higher quality, it would be even more expensive, and a dish worth over a thousand wouldn’t be surprising.

To put it bluntly, despite his restaurant being quite good, it didn’t even serve this dish.

Because it was simply too lavish.

Hearing that Gu Chen was talking about matsutake mushrooms, the owner was genuinely surprised, immediately dismissing his previous thoughts.

It turned out this was no ordinary vegetable vendor!

No wonder he was on good terms with the director!

What relative, this was clearly a case of the rich and noble!

Dajing Jiezhi subconsciously began to ponder if Gu Chen had noticed any problems with his attitude just now.

He had really been looking down on others.

In the future, he must not judge people after just a word or two!

He immediately put on an enthusiastic face.

“That’s some fine stuff right there!”

Of course, Gu Chen knew it was fine stuff, and he chuckled, “So, are you buying?”

This put Dajing Jiezhi in a difficult position.

To tell the truth, it wasn’t just that he didn’t want to buy, he really couldn’t afford to buy those things.

After all, the price was too high, and at best his restaurant was only upper-middle class.

It just couldn’t afford to offer such expensive dishes, and even if it did, he guessed no one would order them!

If he bought them, he would just be left holding the bag.

But if he said he couldn’t afford it, then Gu Chen would certainly look down on him.

Dajing Jiezhi’s vanity started to act up.

You could tell just by looking at the big gold ring on his hand.

This ring weighed at least four or five grams, big and thick like a thumbtack, and even thicker!

It must be as thick as two thumbtacks.

It definitely wouldn’t be comfortable to wear, but why did he wear it?

Because it was expensive!

It let people know at a glance that he was a wealthy man, and he relished being seen as such.

He started to speak with feigned hesitation.

“Well, that depends on the quality of the goods, after all, for us in the catering business, the most important thing is the ingredients. If the ingredients aren’t good, even the best chef is useless!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen laughed heartily. He wouldn’t dare to claim his ingredients were the best, but they would certainly be better than others, never worse!

“Don’t worry, to be honest with you, I can confidently say my matsutake mushrooms are second to none in the entire city—no one would dare claim to be number one!”

He couldn’t help it; he was just that confident in the products from Spirit Field.

Looking at Gu Chen’s uncompromising attitude,

Dajing Jiezhi was in trouble now.

This was tough.

It seemed he wouldn’t be easy to fool.

His real thoughts were to just bluster a couple of sentences.

Blow his own trumpet a bit.

This way, he would’ve put on enough of an act to make a new friend, why not?

But seeing Gu Chen’s demeanor, it was clear he had genuine goods. Daring to make such claims, his products certainly wouldn’t be subpar!

Now he was truly in a dilemma.
