After eating and resting for a while, Lin Chen and the others took their leave.
"Dad, honey, Little Lin really helped us a lot. He actually pinpointed where Lanlan's talent lies."
Xu Zhongting's wife said with delight.
They could have sought help from others, but others weren't as strong in all areas as Lin Chen, nor were they as in-depth.
Others' judgments wouldn't be as accurate as Lin Chen's. Lanlan might need to study each subject for a period of time.
This would waste a lot of time.
"That's a small matter."
"Little Lin's medical skills are very strong; he'll be able to cure Dad in the future."
Xu Zhongting spoke.
His wife looked at Old Man Xu with surprise: "Dad, really? That would be wonderful."
Many ordinary families would dislike the elderly, but in a family like the Xu family, having an elder at home was like having a treasure.
As long as the old man was alive, the connections remained.
If Old Man Xu lived a few more years, Xu Zhongting could climb even higher.
"Really."
Old Man Xu smiled slightly.
He wouldn't believe it if someone else said it. He might even think that Xu Zhongting and the others had invited someone to comfort him, but he completely believed Lin Chen when he said he could cure him.
Lin Chen's talent was undeniable!
He knew twenty or thirty foreign languages; it was perfectly normal for his medical skills to be strong. Many of those languages might not be useful to him, but his medical skills certainly were.
"You two chat."
Old Man Xu went to his study after speaking.
Xu Zhongting instructed his wife a few words and also went to the study.
"Dad, I'll take another look."
Xu Zhongting went to the desk.
The painting Lin Chen had drawn was placed on the desk.
"A priceless treasure, this is a priceless treasure!"
Old Man Xu said, his expression agitated.
"Dad, Lin Chen didn't sign it."
Old Man Xu shook his head, pointing at the calligraphy: "Who else besides Lin Chen could write calligraphy like this? Any character he writes is a signature."
"That's true."
Xu Zhongting nodded. "Dad, don't rush to send it up yet. Let's keep it at home and appreciate it for a few days."
"No can do."
Old Man Xu shook his head. "If you want to appreciate it, do it quickly. It's not safe to keep it at home; what if it gets stolen? Book me a plane ticket to the Imperial Capital for this afternoon."
"So soon?"
Xu Zhongting looked at the painting with some reluctance.
"Safety first."
Old Man Xu said in a low voice.
Xu Zhongting quickly booked a plane ticket for Old Man Xu, and half an hour later, Old Man Xu got in the car and headed to the airport.
Imperial Capital, Ye Hong arrived first.
He was carrying a bag, and there was a thermal container inside.
The insulated lunchbox contained frozen dishes. The food inside had been packed up before they'd even started eating.
—They'd eaten a few dishes before, but there were others they hadn't touched. After Lin Chen left, they packed those up first, putting everything they hadn't eaten into the boxes.
"Hello, President Ye."
"President Chen asked me to come pick you up."
Someone greeted Ye Hong politely as he exited the station.
"Thank you for the trouble."
Ye Hong soon settled into the business car sent by Chen Zhian.
After more than an hour, Ye Hong arrived at the Chen family's residence.
"Dad, please eat something."
"How can you hold up if you don't eat?"
Chen Zhian was persuading his old father, Chen Xingguo.
His mother died early, and he was raised by his father. Chen Zhian was very filial to his father.
"Uncle Chen, President Chen."
Ye Hong greeted them with a smile.
Chen Zhian said, "Old Ye, you came at the right time. Help me persuade my dad. He's old, yet he still acts like a child, and sometimes I have to persuade him to eat."
"President Ye."
Chen Xingguo greeted Ye Hong with a smile, "Don't listen to him. Not eating for one meal won't kill anyone. It was normal not to eat for a day or two during wartime."
Ye Hong took a lunchbox out of his bag.
"Uncle Chen, I brought you a box of dishes. General Chen, please heat it up in the microwave for Uncle Chen to try."
Chen Zhian looked at Ye Hong and said, "General Ye, did Lin Chen make this? He sounds very young, but he has quite the personality."
Ye Hong said, "General Chen, I told you on the phone that the dishes he makes are delicious, but I can't even describe them."
"It's my fault for letting you misunderstand."
Chen Zhian looked at the dishes Ye Hong had brought. Ye Hong had come so far to deliver them, he couldn't disappoint the effort.
"Dad, General Ye brought them all the way here. You should eat more later."
Chen Zhian said.
The nanny wasn't around, so Chen Zhian heated up the food himself.
He opened the microwave and immediately smelled a delicious aroma.
"Grumble—"
Chen Zhian couldn't help but swallow.
"Dad, try some. It smells amazing."
Chen Zhian brought the food out.
Chen Xingguo sniffed, and it did smell good. His appetite was instantly whetted by the fragrance.
"Let me try."
Chen Xingguo said.
He picked up his chopsticks and quickly tasted a piece of meat. With that first bite, he felt like all his taste buds had opened up.
Soon, Chen Xingguo tasted a second bite.
This time, he didn't pick up meat, but the taste was still exquisite.
"Is this what you asked us to eat, President Ye?"
Chen Xingguo asked.
Ye Hong nodded. "Master Lin's culinary skills have reached the pinnacle. I thought of letting President Chen take you, Uncle Chen, to try it. This is leftovers, so the taste is somewhat discounted."
Chen Xingguo was shocked.
This flavor is still the watered-down version?
"Dad, let me try."
Chen Zhian went to the kitchen and grabbed a pair of chopsticks.
The moment the dish entered his mouth, Chen Zhian was stunned. How could a dish be so delicious?
"Director Ye, could there be some high-tech tricks involved?"
Chen Zhian asked, "This dish is just too delicious."
Ye Hong shook his head, "Impossible. Master Lin's wife is Xu Mengyao from the Xu family."
Surprise flashed in Chen Zhian's eyes.
He knew Xu Mengyao; the Xu family had assets worth billions.
"I haven't heard that Xu Mengyao got married."
Ye Hong said, "They got their marriage certificate. They had a low-key engagement a while ago. The people who witnessed the marriage included Old Man Xu and Xu Zhongting. Old Man Xu and the others also value Lin Chen very much."
Chen Zhian was even more surprised.
He knew Xu Zhongting was the Executive Vice Mayor of Magic City, and Old Man Xu's previous position wasn't lower than that. Moreover, Old Man Xu had a very good private relationship with a major leader in the Imperial Capital.
"President Ye, you didn't say these things before."
Chen Zhian said.
Ye Hong said loudly, "It's my fault; I didn't make it clear."
Chen Xingguo shook his head, "You can't blame yourself for this. Under normal circumstances, you wouldn't bring up Lin Chen's private matters to others. The only fault lies in our lack of imagination."
"The dishes are actually this delicious."
Chen Zhian looked a little embarrassed, "President Ye, I didn't expect Lin Chen's cooking to be so good. One million a meal isn't cheap, and my father didn't want to go, so I thought he could come here instead."
"Can you help me speak with Lin Chen?"
"I want to book a few tables."
Ye Hong nodded, "You have to go there to eat, President Chen. Master Lin is indeed not available to come here."
"Of course, we'll go there to eat."
"Then I'll help you speak with Master Lin."
Very quickly, Ye Hong dialed Lin Chen's phone.
Lin Chen was in his shop at the moment. He had finished signing the remaining books, and Li Lin was taking them away in boxes.
"Director Ye, what good news do you have?"
Lin Chen asked with a smile.
Ye Hong said, "Master Lin, I've come to the Imperial Capital. I'm here at Director Chen's place now, and he wants to make an appointment. What do you think—"
