97: Chapter 96 Foodie Jiang Lingshan_1 97: Chapter 96 Foodie Jiang Lingshan_1 Jiang Hai and Wang Chunhua watched in astonishment as Lu Chuan actually extracted a piece of jade from Jiang Lingshan’s body, both of them dumbstruck.

They both hurried to the bedside, staring at Jiang Lingshan, and, seeing that her temperature had returned to normal and her complexion had improved a lot, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Hai asked, “Miracle Doctor Lu, is my daughter…

all right now?”

Lu Chuan nodded, “Have someone bring her something nourishing to eat, a bit of recovery and she’ll be just fine.”

Wang Chunhua’s face was filled with disbelief as she asked, “Miracle Doctor Lu, my daughter had a fever all over and was unconscious, was it because of that stone just now?”

“That’s right.” Lu Chuan unwrapped the paper around the Fire Spirit Jade, “This is called Fire Spirit Jade, a rare type of jade.

Its temperature is much higher than that of ordinary jade, and after processing, it can be worn close to the body, having the effect of dispelling cold and nourishing health.”

“However, if this object enters the human body, it will cause body temperature to rise high, causing unconsciousness, and inflict great harm to the body.”

Wang Chunhua then asked, “How did this piece of jade end up inside my daughter?”

Lu Chuan replied, “That’s what I would like to know as well.”

At this moment, Jiang Lingshan slowly opened her eyes and weakly said, “Mom, I’m so hungry…”

Seeing Jiang Lingshan awake, Wang Chunhua’s face was filled with excitement.

She hurriedly bent over to gently stroke her cheek, “My good girl, you’re finally awake.

Mom will order them to make you something tasty right away.”

She then turned around to go and instruct someone to prepare the food.

After asking about Jiang Lingshan’s condition and making sure she really wasn’t seriously harmed, Jiang Hai’s heart finally settled.

He expressed his gratitude to Lu Chuan, full of appreciative feelings, and for previously doubting Lu Chuan’s capabilities, he felt ashamed.

Zheng Qian, shamelessly, approached Jiang Hai and said, “Boss Jiang, although I couldn’t cure your daughter this time, I did put in the effort without the reward.

You should still give me something for the trouble, right?

I won’t ask for much, a hundred thousand yuan will do…”

Jiang Hai’s expression darkened in an instant, his gaze towards Zheng Qian was as if he wanted to devour him, and he bellowed, “Get lost before I lose my temper, or I’ll make sure you, Zheng Qian, cease to exist in Tianhai City!”

Startled, Zheng Qian shivered and did not dare to demand his hard-earned fee, promptly taking his two disciples and fled in a very unseemly manner.

Wang Chunhua had someone prepare some tasty food, and fed it to Jiang Lingshan.

Jiang Lingshan’s complexion quickly returned to a rosy hue, and she regained her strength, no longer as weak as before.

Full of curiosity, Lu Chuan approached Jiang Lingshan with the Fire Spirit Jade in hand and asked, “Do you recognize this thing?”

After a glance, Jiang Lingshan said, “It was a gift from a friend.”

Jiang Hai looked puzzled, “Then how did this thing end up inside you?”

Jiang Lingshan’s face turned red as she shyly said, “I suffer from cold hands and feet, and this Fire Spirit Jade greatly improved this condition so I would wear it close to my body while eating or sleeping.

That night, I dreamed that I was eating jelly, and I might have accidentally swallowed this jade mistaking it for jelly…”

Jiang Hai and Wang Chunhua were both torn between laughter and tears, never having imagined that the very same jade that almost cost their daughter’s life had been ingested in such a manner.

“You really are a little foodie, aren’t you?

You can’t even forget about eating in your dreams, giving us quite the fright here,” Wang Chunhua said with a face full of reproach.

Jiang Lingshan quietly covered her face with a blanket to alleviate her embarrassment.

Lu Chuan couldn’t help but laugh as well, not expecting such a commotion to have been caused by a dream about delicious food.

Relieved, Jiang Hai looked at Lu Chuan seriously and said, “Miracle Doctor Lu, you saved my daughter’s life, so I won’t bother with pleasantries.

Whatever you want as a reward, as long as the Jiang family can afford it, I won’t hesitate at all!”

Lu Chuan thought to himself that this was the moment he had been waiting for, then smilingly said, “Family Head Jiang, there’s no need for such courtesy.

I came here actually seeking an invitation to the auction.”

Jiang Hai was taken aback, “An invitation?”

Lu Chuan confirmed, “That’s right, an invitation to the upcoming auction.”

Jiang Hai with a look of surprise, “Just an invitation, nothing else?”

Lu Chuan said with a smile, “One invitation will be enough.”

Jiang Hai was so moved he was almost in tears, “Miracle Doctor Lu, please ask for something else.

My daughter’s life is priceless to me, yet you only want an invitation, I’ll feel bad for this.”

Lu Chuan laughed heartily, “Family Head Jiang, there’s no need for that.

I really only need an invitation.”

Jiang Hai pondered for a moment, then said, “Alright, since Miracle Doctor Lu says so, I won’t be pretentious.

However, I give you my word, from now on, you are the Jiang family’s most honored guest.

In the future, should you encounter any trouble, just speak out, and I, Jiang Hai, will not hesitate even if it costs me my life!”

Lu Chuan gave a slight nod and said nothing more.

Jiang Hai said, “The invitations to the auction are all kept at the company, I’ll take you to get it right away, Miracle Doctor Lu.”

The two left the room together, and Jiang Hai drove Lu Chuan towards the company.

On the way, Lu Chuan asked, “Family Head Jiang, is Jiang Group under your name?”

Jiang Hai replied with a smile, nodding, “That’s right, my main business is banking, but over the years I’ve also ventured into other trades, establishing a group.

The company has some fame in Tianhai, but it’s fairly inconspicuous in Jiangbei.”

Lu Chuan said with a smile, “Family Head Jiang is being too modest.”

No wonder the lion at the door of your house is so massive, it turns out you’re in the banking business.

He also understood why Jiang Hai was able to be one of the organizers of this auction.

When it comes to wealth, who could surpass those who run a bank?

Not long after, the two arrived in front of a skyscraper.

Jiang Hai led Lu Chuan into the ground floor of the building, arranged for the secretary to entertain Lu Chuan in the lounge area, and then went upstairs to retrieve the invitation.

“Miracle Doctor Lu, have some coffee here and have a chat with Little Chen, I will bring the invitation down very soon,” Jiang Hai said.

The secretary named Little Chen had fair skin, beautiful looks, long legs, a deep cleavage that was captivating, and her uniform paired with black stockings made her look both pure and desirable, tantalizing to the core.

She had never seen Jiang Hai treat anyone with such courtesy, so she immediately judged that this unremarkable-looking young man was extraordinary.

Hence, she immediately put to use her experience in the workplace, swiftly taking a seat next to Lu Chuan and personally brewing tea for him.

“Mr.

Lu, this Bi Luo Chun is usually something our chairman drinks.

We seldom serve it to guests, but I’ll make an exception and brew a pot for you today,” she said.

Lu Chuan chuckled to himself, thinking this woman was truly scary; her every frown and smile were so seductive that if he hadn’t been so self-disciplined, his soul would have been hooked away long ago.

After Little Chen had brewed the tea, she began to actively chat with Lu Chuan, even frequently bending over to reach for things near him, as if afraid Lu Chuan wouldn’t get a clear view of her cleavage.

Lu Chuan was made to feel uncomfortably itchy and wished to get rid of this woman quickly.

Otherwise, with his limited self-restraint, he feared he might be devoured without even knowing what hit him.

At the same time, he couldn’t help feeling reflective; indeed, only those with power, status, and money were truly living.

In the past, he would never have had the chance to be treated this way.

At that moment, his gaze fell on an office door not far away, where Chiang Qing, Zhang Tao, and a few others were waiting.

Lu Chuan, like grabbing a lifeline, quickly stood up and said, “Little Chen, you go ahead with your work.

I have some friends over there, I’ll go take a look.”

He then hurried over in the direction of Chiang Qing and her companions.

Little Chen’s face instantly showed disappointment, but she couldn’t say much and had to attend to her own duties.

Once he reached Chiang Qing, Lu Chuan said, “Chiang Qing, what a coincidence.”

Chiang Qing looked surprised and with wide eyes exclaimed, “Lu Chuan, what are you doing here?”

Lu Chuan replied, “I’m here to pick up something and just happened to see you all.

How’s the job negotiation going?”

Zhang Tao immediately said with pride, “My cousin has already helped them with the paperwork.

From today on, they are all part of the Jiang Group.”

Lu Chuan immediately congratulated them, “That’s really great news.”

Chiang Qing happily said, “To celebrate, I’ll treat you to dinner tonight, Lu Chuan, you should join us.”

Just as Lu Chuan was about to refuse, the door of the office opened.

A man in a suit with a slicked-back haircut and a hint of roguishness emerged; it was Zhang Tao’s cousin, Liu Kun.

Zhang Tao quickly went up to ask, “Cousin, how did it go?

Have you finished processing their entry formalities?”

Liu Kun gave him a glance, turned his head to Chiang Qing and the others, and said, “Your employment approval didn’t go through.”

The previously cheerful group was instantly stunned.

Zhang Tao also looked puzzled and hurriedly asked, “Cousin, didn’t we already agree on everything before?

You said their employment at the Jiang Group would definitely be no problem, so why is the approval not passing now?”

Liu Kun glared at Zhang Tao and scolded, “Damn it, are you questioning me?”

Zhang Tao immediately shrank his neck, “No, cousin, you’ve misunderstood, I was just asking.”

Liu Kun snorted coldly and looking at Chiang Qing and the others, he said, “The reason given to me from above is that the company has already reached its hiring quota, and there are no positions left for the few of them now.”

Chiang Qing’s face showed her disappointment as she said, “That’s really unfortunate, but still, thank you, cousin.”

Liu Kun’s eyes swept across Chiang Qing, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes before he continued, “However, I’m not just the HR manager for nothing.

I can try to pull some strings; there’s still a chance to get you guys in the company.”

Their eyes all brightened up.

“We really appreciate it, cousin!” the group expressed their gratitude one after another.

Liu Kun then said, “It’s just that pulling strings requires a substantial investment; I can’t just be a good person and help you all for nothing, right?”

The group immediately grasped Liu Kun’s implication, exchanged glances among themselves, and one person said, “Cousin, name your price.

As long as we can afford it, we’ll definitely give it to you.”

Liu Kun snickered, “I don’t lack money, nor do I care for your measly sums.”

His gaze settled on Chiang Qing, and lifting her chin with his hand, he said, “Recently, I’ve been feeling rather irritable and need a good release.

I see you’re a pretty and smart girl.

If you agree to keep me company for a couple of days, I’ll help you out with this for free.

What do you say?”
