Chapter 391: Chapter 391: He Is That Expert

Kui Sandi crossed his arms over his chest, his posture exuding arrogance, "Not to mention other things, just the technology we currently possess is top-notch internationally. Moreover, we have very mature and complete technology that can be put into production at any time. The products we produce needn’t worry about finding a market."

Li Mo took over the conversation, smiling, "Mayor Zhang, you heard it too. If we in Hengshui City want to develop, we need to forge new paths. There can be no success without reform. I think this is a rare opportunity."

Zhang Tao fell into thought, but it was evident that compared to Chen Dashan, he was more inclined towards Qin Lan.

A moment later, Zhang Tao spoke up, "Okay, I understand. Your ideas are very good, and I like them. How about this: you prepare a detailed proposal and give it to me for comparison."

"Okay, no problem, I’ll send it to your email later," Qin Lan said.

Chen Dashan also nodded, indicating he would send it to Zhang Tao’s email as well.

After they left, Chen lay back in the car seat and sighed, "It seems that Mayor Zhang leans more towards Qin Lan. But I can understand, right now Hengshui City really needs foreign companies to lead development. After all, local companies are easy to find, but foreign ones are hard to come by."

"It’s okay, Dashan, don’t lose heart. It’s still not clear who will win or lose. Until the last moment, no one knows who will ultimately prevail," Qi Shuzhu consoled.

The elder chuckled, "Dashan, don’t go yet, wait an hour."

The old man took out his mobile phone, checked the time, and held it to his chest.

"Grandpa, is there something else we need to do?" Qi Shuzhu was somewhat puzzled.

"If I tell you to wait, just wait. You’ll know what it’s about soon enough."

Qi Shuzhu pursed his lips and reluctantly agreed.

The elder looked at Chen Dashan and said, "Dashan, you know why I asked you to wait here, right?"

"Are we waiting for a call from Mayor Zhang?"

The elder nodded, "Smart. We are waiting for a call from Mayor Zhang. He is such a filial person; he won’t fail to contact me. Whether it’s reliable or not, he will definitely make a call to try."

After about fifteen minutes, the elder’s phone indeed rang!

The elder signaled Chen Dashan to start the car and then answered the phone, "Hello, Brother Zhang!"

He even purposely rolled down the car window to create the sound of wind.

"Brother Qi? Have you left already?" Zhang Tao’s tone was slightly urgent.

"Yeah, I’m about to head home. What’s up, Brother Zhang? Just say what you need!" the elder said spiritedly.

"The famous doctor you mentioned before, could you introduce him? You know, my mother has been in poor health, and it’s getting worse. I want to invite that doctor to see her. What do you think?" Zhang Tao’s tone carried a plea.

The elder responded generously, "There’s no inconvenience at all. He’s right here in my car. Do you want today or tomorrow?"

Zhang Tao was clearly impatient, "Today, if it’s convenient for you to go to my house now. I’m heading home right now; how does that sound?"

"Sure, sure, sure, no problem at all. I’m on my way now!"

After hanging up, the elder chuckled, "See? What did I tell you? He was definitely going to call me!"

Qi Shuzhu giggled, "Grandpa, you’re amazing, predicting things like a prophet!"

"It’s not that I predict like a prophet; once you’ve dealt with enough situations, you naturally come to understand them," he responded.

Chen Dashan also chuckled along.

Outside Zhang Tao’s home.

Despite being the mayor, Zhang Tao’s residence wasn’t luxurious but merely a common three-bedroom, two-hall home.

This made it clear that Zhang Tao’s integrity was not merely superficial.

Soon, a black Volkswagen arrived.

The driver opened the rear door and Zhang Tao stepped down from the car, gave a few instructions to the driver, and the car drove away.

"Brother Qi, I really appreciate this," Zhang Tao said, approaching with a warm smile.

The elder laughed, "It’s no trouble at all."

Zhang Tao glanced at the three men, puzzled, "Brother Qi, hasn’t the famous doctor you mentioned arrived yet?"

With only the four of them present, Zhang Tao thought the doctor hadn’t yet arrived.

"Brother Zhang, the person has already arrived, far away yet close at hand!"

Zhang Tao was stunned, turning to Chen Dashan, "Could it be that you are referring to...?"

It couldn’t be the elder nor Qi Shuzhu, so it had to be Chen Dashan.

"Ha-ha, that’s right, the expert I was talking about is Dashan. How about that? Bet you didn’t expect it? I told you, Dashan is really an expert. He cured my illness, otherwise, why would I recommend him to you!" the elder laughed heartily.

Zhang Tao’s expression shifted slightly, but he quickly recovered and extended his hand, "Mr. Chen, hello. I truly didn’t expect this aspect of your identity."

Zhang Tao believed the elder’s words; after all, given the elder’s status, he wouldn’t speak irresponsibly about such matters.

"Mayor Zhang, that’s too formal. Let’s go inside and check on your mother’s condition," Mr. Chen suggested.

Zhang Tao led the three inside.

The house was decorated simply but elegantly, not at all like a mayor’s home.

"Sir, you’re back?" a caregiver approached to greet them.

Mayor Zhang nodded, "Xiao Liu, could you step out for a moment? I have some business here."

The caregiver and maid tactfully left.

Inside the bedroom, which featured large floor-to-ceiling windows and was filled with medical equipment, an elderly woman lay on the bed.

Her face was gaunt, and she looked extremely frail and weak.

"Tao, you’re back," the elderly woman struggled to sit up, her voice weak.

"Mom, lie down; don’t move around. I brought a doctor to check on your condition," Zhang Tao quickly went to support her.

The elderly woman gave a bitter smile, "Mom’s already like this, there’s no need to check. Why bother yourself with this, you’re busy with work. Don’t worry about my issues."

Chen Dashan stepped forward and checked the elderly woman’s pulse.

"The doctor said my mom’s very weak, severely deficient in vital energy. She used to be able to go outside and walk around, but now even getting out of bed is difficult. She overworked herself when she was younger!" Zhang Tao was full of self-reproach; his mother was suffering because of him.

The elderly woman’s rough hands revealed the hard physical labor she had done in her youth.

"She has taken many supplements, and things like ginseng and cordyceps. But unfortunately, none have improved her condition," Zhang Tao sighed.

Chen Dashan had already figured out the elderly woman’s condition.

Severe deficiency in vital energy meant the elderly woman’s bodily functions had been overtaxed and couldn’t produce vital energy on their own. Though the supplements were somewhat helpful, they merely maintained her condition and couldn’t cure it.

To truly cure her, she would need regular supplementation of vital energy until her body could produce it independently.
