This sudden praise caught Boss Gu off guard.

But he quickly responded, "It’s all thanks to the customers’ favor. There are so many coffee shops in Chuan City, and everyone has different tastes. I can only say that mine happens to be cherished by the customers."

He was very modest and didn’t attribute it to his own abilities.

"You’re being too modest now. I’ve also tasted the dishes at Qiwei Vegetarian, and they are quite good indeed."

"And the flowers from your flower shop – you must not say this but their scent is indeed very unique. However, in terms of flowers, I still prefer those I’ve grown with my own hands."

This old gentleman seemed to know Boss Gu well, mentioning all the businesses Boss Gu was involved in.

The only thing left unmentioned was the internet cafe.

Just as Boss Gu was thinking about this, the old gentleman suddenly brought it up, as timely as the rain.

"And your internet cafe, I heard it’s the first one in the country.

Although I’m not keen on those foreign novelties, I must admit the science from overseas is indeed strong. I heard that on the computer, you can find whatever you want and even watch TV right away."

Boss Gu could tell that by the time he arrived, all his affairs had already been thoroughly investigated by them.

And when the old gentleman just now mentioned the big fight from before, Boss Gu wasn’t too surprised.

Only someone with his status could have such a villa and so many people helping to watch the gate and protect him.

And if he guessed correctly, Wei Baoguo must have fought in wars as well.

"To achieve so much at your age is not easy.

There aren’t many in Chuan City who can do better than you in business.

Wei Tianfu, this is something you can learn from."

As he spoke, he started to lecture Wei Tianfu.

Wei Baoguo didn’t refute but just stood there quietly. When it was his turn to be mentioned, he nodded to indicate he was listening.

"I heard you were injured last week. Someone caused trouble in your internet cafe, and you even got stabbed?" Wei Baoguo suddenly asked Boss Gu.

Boss Gu didn’t expect that they even knew about this, which had happened just last week.

"Yes, there was a small scuffle, but it didn’t affect the customers inside the internet cafe."

Whatever they asked, Boss Gu answered without falsehood.

Upon hearing this, Wei Baoguo’s face showed anger as he looked toward Wei Tianfu.

"With such scourges in Chuan City, you bear responsibility.

Work harder during this time; you absolutely cannot let this group of ruffians continue to trouble the businesses on the streets."

All of a sudden, he gave Wei Tianfu a job to do.

Hearing this, Boss Gu’s eyes lit up; the way it sounded, Wei Tianfu held quite a high position in Chuan City.

"How is your wound now?" Wei Baoguo asked Boss Gu with concern.

"It’s mostly healed now, no serious problems, just some blood loss." Boss Gu spoke casually.

The two of them enjoyed chatting about all sorts of things. Boss Gu could keep talking with them non-stop.

"Ah, these days, not many people have your endurance. Back in my day, at your age, my injuries weren’t from a knife. And back then, medical treatment ’Heaven Sword’ wasn’t good—it hurt so bad I nearly cracked my teeth."

"Although there are still some slip through the net, Chuan City is much better than it used to be."

As the old gentleman said this, he sighed, as if reminiscing about the past.

"The young people these days do lack a bit of exercise. I reckon if it were someone else who had been stabbed like that, they definitely would have cried out for their parents in the hospital." The old gentleman continued to praise Boss Gu.

Boss Gu’s heart grew even more tense after hearing this.

He couldn’t understand what matter they could possibly need him for, and why they were treating him with such respect?

Could it be they wanted him to give up all his business?

It wasn’t strange for Boss Gu to think this way; after all, the attitude of these two made him feel like they were making a mountain out of a molehill.

Apart from having some money, he had nothing else, yet these two clearly weren’t lacking in funds.

So he couldn’t figure out what they could possibly need from him.

The three chatted about family and trivial matters, with Wei Tianfu showing great patience, quietly waiting by the side.

Whenever the tea cup ran dry, he would patiently refill it for Boss Gu.

The constant refilling was almost like a drinking contest, with Boss Gu nearly spitting out the tea leaves.

Finally, the woman finished her work in the kitchen, and it was time to eat.

At mealtime, the old man even poured a cup of wine for Boss Gu.

This cup of wine confused Boss Gu even more.

Sometimes, when someone treats you with too much respect, it doesn’t make you happy; it only adds to the pressure you feel.

Boss Gu indeed wished the two would get straight to the point and simply say what was going on.

There really was no need to beat around the bush with him.

"Let Xiao Meng also come down for dinner,"

said Wei Baoguo to the woman all of a sudden.

Upon hearing this, the woman headed upstairs.

Are there others? It seemed that the dinner party was quite sizeable.

Not long after the woman went up, she came back down with a young girl in tow.

When Boss Gu saw the young girl, he was momentarily stunned.

One glance and it was clear that this girl wasn’t like everyone else.

The girl’s skin was pale as paper, and she wore a duckbill cap on her head.

She kept her head down, not looking at Boss Gu, as if she disliked being watched by him.

The moment he saw her, Boss Gu understood the reasons behind their visit.

"This is my granddaughter, named Wei Xiaomeng. She’s a few years younger than Boss Gu’s daughter. If she were in school right now, she should be in elementary school, but it’s just a pity, alas,"

Wei Baoguo sighed as he said this, his eyes filled with sorrow as he looked at his granddaughter.

"So what can I help you with?" Boss Gu asked.

At that point, Wei Baoguo didn’t beat around the bush and directly said to Boss Gu, "I’ve heard that Boss Gu has a traditional Chinese medicine formula that can specifically treat this illness with very effective results, even to the point of seeing immediate improvement.

A child named Qi Qi was recently treated very well by Boss Gu, so today we’ve come specifically to see Boss Gu about this matter."

Although Boss Gu had guessed their intentions,

he nodded after they finished speaking.

Then, somewhat embarrassed, he said to Wei Baoguo, "Actually, this is the situation: everyone’s body is different, some people may recover very well after taking the Chinese medicine, while others may have no response at all."

Boss Gu made sure to clarify this upfront to avoid trouble later on.
