Chapter 44 The Difference Between Living and Dying

In the cafe…

Zhou Wanqiu and Guan Qingqing sat face to face.

Zhou Wanqiu was furious, and she was ridiculing Su Chen.

Guan Qingqing covered her mouth and giggled.

“Su Chen took a leave of absence to have fun? Haha! He’s learning quite quickly!” Guan Qingqing laughed.

Zhou Wanqiurolled her eyes and said, “Not only did he ask for a leave of absence, but he also got into a woman’s car! A pink Mercedes-Benz G-Class!”

“Who knows who he’s fooling around with!”

Guan Qingqing was surprised. “A pink Mercedes Benz? Didn’t you say that you saw him get into a red Ferrari? Now it’s a pink Mercedes-Benz?”

“I don’t know!” Zhou Wanqiu looked annoyed. “I thought he was just a country bumpkin. But now, he’s dating a different woman every day!”

“Haha! What kind of woman would fall for him? I really have no idea!”

Zhou Wanqiu was furious. She grabbed the coffee in front of her and drank it all in one gulp.

Guan Qingqing smiled faintly. “Wanqiu, why do I feel like you’re jealous now?”

Zhou Wanqiu panicked, and her face was slightly flushed.

Fortunately, the cafe was dim, so it was easy to conceal.

“Nonsense!” she argued loudly. “Would I be jealous of that b*stard? Not in this lifetime!”

Guan Qingqing quickly stopped her. “Hey, stop shouting. It doesn’t matter how right you are! If you keep shouting, everyone will listen in.” Zhou Wanqiuwas a little embarrassed.

“I think Su Chen might not be as bad as you think!” Guan Qingqing said.

“Listen, at the Black Dragon Gang’s base, it was him who rushed in to save you. He even neutralized the poison they gave you.”‘

“Tsk!”

Zhou Wanqiu smiled disdainfully. “He was lucky to be able to sneak past the Black Dragon Gang. Otherwise, a boorish man like him would be killed at the hands of that gang.’

“No matter what he does, he doesn’t use his brain. He says everything he’s thinking. He fights his way out of problems! This time is no different. He beat Liu Liding up.”

Guan Qingqing sighed.

Her best friend did not have a good opinion of Su Chen, and it was not easy to change that. She had no choice but to change the subject. “By the way, does your archenemy, Gao Min, have any new tricks up her sleeve?” she asked.

Zhou Wanqiu sighed. “Her brother, Gao Renhuai, has almost gotten the Binjiang Entertainment City food center project. She didn’t even need to do anything. Now, she’s practically invincible!”

“I heard that the old master of the provincial

capital’s Yao family is in Bin Cheng now, but I can’t contact him. Otherwise, I’d try to steal

this project!”

Guan Qingqing felt helpless too. “It’s too

difficult for us to connect with a big shot like him, not to mention getting the project from

him!”

The two women looked at each other helplessly and continued drinking their coffee.

Meanwhile…

In the private room of the Imperial Spring View

Hotel.

Yao Zhenfeng and Su Chen chatted happily.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Someone knocked on the door.

Yao Nana was excited. “That must be the Blood

Phoenix Marrow!”

She opened the door.

The hotel manager, Liu Jinghao, was standing

outside.

He was holding a wooden box.

“Ms. Yao, this is the medicinal herb that your

family sent over. They said that the old master

needs it!”

“Bring it in quickly!” Yao Nana said in surprise.

Liu Jinghao was delighted.

He did not expect that he would have the

chance to enter.

Su Chen stepped forward and took the wooden

box from Liu Jinghao.

He opened the wooden box.

Everyone laid eyes on a blood-red fungus.

It really looked like a blood phoenix.

Su Chen found a small bowl.

He used silver needles to pierce the roots of the

Blood Phoenix and squeezed out a lot of red

liquid.

“Old Master, are you ready?”Su Chen asked.

Yao Zhenfeng nodded excitedly.

The poison in his body had tortured him long

enough.

Now, he finally had a chance to cure it.

“Drink it now! Then, we’ll go to the private room to detoxify the poison!” Su Chen handed the small bowl over.

In the high-class private room of the Imperial

Spring View Hotel, there was a suite for guests

to rest and sober up.

At this moment…

Li Yiting stepped forward and wanted to check

the contents of the small bowl.

“Mr. Li, there’s no need to check it! If our little

friend, Su Chen, wants to harm me, you won’t be penalized for not saving me!” Yao Zhenfeng

laughed. After he finished speaking, Yao Zhenfeng downed the contents of the small bowl in one

gulp.

Half a minute later, his skin started to turn red. Huge beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and body.

Everyone was shocked!

“Mr. Yao, let’s do the treatment!” Su Chen said

quickly.

The two of them entered the private room.

Yao Nana and Li Yiting were extremely

nervous.

Qin Yaoyao, on the other hand, was carefree.

She was very confident in Su Chen. As expected, in less than half an hour…

The door opened, and Su Chen stepped out.

“Su Chen, how is my grandfather?” Yao Nana asked immediately.

In the next second, Yao Zhenfeng stepped out.

His complexion was rosy, and he was in high spirits. He was even standing straighter! “Ah! Grandpa, are you alright?” Yao Nana was pleasantly surprised. Yao Zhenfeng was also quite excited, and there

were traces of tears in his eyes.

“That’s right! I feel better than ever! Our little friend, Su Chen, is really a divine doctor!” As he spoke, Yao Zhenfeng turned around and

bowed to Su Chen.

“Mr. Su, you’ve saved my life. I can’t express my gratitude with mere words! Please let me know if there’s anything you need!”

“If it’s within our power, the Yao family will make sure to give you what you want!” Yao Nana also bowed alongside Yao Zhenfeng.

“It’s nothing, Old Master Yao. You don’t have to do this!” Su Chen smiled. Yao Zhenfeng’s admiration for Su Chen only

grew when he realized how modest he was!

“Alright, I won’t mention it!” Yao Zhenfeng said. “The food center project of Binjiang Entertainment City will be handed over to Zhou Wanqiu. Tomorrow, I will arrange a meeting with CEO Zhou.”

Su Chen cupped his hands and smiled. “Thank you, Old Master Yao!”

In light of Su Chen’s attitude, Yao Zhenfeng knew that he had done the right thing. The few of them sat down again and chatted in

good spirits.

Yao Zhenfeng was in a good mood. He didn’t even ask Liu Jinghao to leave.

Liu Jinghao realized how much Yao Zhenfeng

respected Su Chen.

In the end, Su Chen and Yao Zhenfeng exchanged contact details and said goodbye.

As for Yao Zhenfeng, he stayed in the Imperial

Spring View Hotel’s presidential suite. After Su Chen left…

“Mr. Li, what do you think of Su Chen?” Yao Zhenfeng asked.

Li Yiting pondered, “Although he’s young, he’s unusually calm and collected. He’s extremely skilled and has amazing medical skills, but he wasn’t arrogant nor frivolous!” “I’d say

he’s naturally calm, but this afternoon, during the fight, he was fierce, decisive, and domineering! I can’t possibly judge this kid!”

“All I can say is that he is extremely talented, but his personality is extraordinary. He’s like a

dragon among men!”

At this point, Li Yiting asked, “Old Master Yao, you’ve always been good at judging someone’s character! What do you think of Su Chen?”

Yao Zhenfeng looked out of the window and saw the bright moon and stars in the sky.

“Those who hold so much power but can keep a calm demeanor are basically generals!” Yao Nana was shocked to hear this. “Grandpa, although Su Chen’s medical skills and martial arts cultivation are very impressive, aren’t you guys going a little overboard by praising him like this?”Yao Nana

asked in confusion.

“You’re still young, so it’s normal that you don’t understand. Do you think that I can just give Su Chen some money for saving me and

part ways with him? Don’t you think we need to remain on good terms with him?”

Yao Nana was stunned. She pursed her lips in silence.

In the end, she nodded honestly. “Grandpa, I did think of that.”

“Hahaha! I like your honesty!” Yao Zhenfeng laughed loudly.

“Nana, you grew up in the Yao family in the provincial capital. You understand that everyone has value and even a price!” Yao Zhenfeng said.

“But you don’t realize that everyone’s value is very different.”

“I’ve been suffering from this poison for many years. In all these years, even the divine

doctors at saint level could not eradicate the

poison!” “Now, Su Chen has cured me of the poison so easily. His value exceeds billions of funds and countless projects!”

“Most of the time, befriending a genius like Su Chen is like gaining an extra life!”

Yao Nana nodded, still stunned. “Although we’re from the Yao family, we

cannot look down on him. Yes, it’s true that we don’t lack power, wealth, or connections!” when it comes down to it, someone like Su Chen can show us the difference

“However,

between living and dying.”

Yao Nana was shocked.
