Shang Wenge was clearly delighted. His wife, Gan Mei, had already told him Lin Yao's identity over the phone. He had been looking forward to seeing this miracle doctor again, and he never expected to have the chance to be called "uncle" by the doctor. He was overjoyed, as refreshed as drinking ice-cold plum juice on a sweltering summer day. When Lin Yao entered the room, he was unrecognizable. He realized that Lin Yao must have been disguised. It was normal for such a master to disguise himself, but he hadn't expected him to be so skilled that he was completely unrecognizable.
"Come on, Gu Nan, sit down and eat." Shang Wenge's face was practically beaming with joy, which immediately caught the attention of the others at the table. They all wondered if this was Shang Wenge's illegitimate son? Had he managed to give him the identity of a cousin? Many powerful figures in the capital liked to play this game. With their abilities and methods, it would be easy for them to secretly place their illegitimate children in the homes of their wives' relatives.
Lin Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If this girl didn't leave soon, he would embarrass himself. His lower body, which he controlled with his true energy, had begun to rebel. It seemed that his control over his true energy was not good enough, or rather, his state of mind was not good enough. He was too weak in controlling his true energy in the face of beauty.
The middle-aged man called Uncle Yang kept flattering her. It seemed that Gan Mei's family had been flattered enough before Lin Yao arrived, and now he was turning his attention to Lin Yao, continuing to praise him lavishly, but he never forgot to praise Shang Wenge's effective education of the younger generation.
Shang Wenge and Gan Mei had obviously heard too much flattery like this, and remained unmoved, behaving calmly and composedly, which seemed quite sophisticated. However, Lin Yao had long known Gan Mei's narrow-mindedness and did not believe her outward composure at all.
Xiaolin had clearly been praised before, and she was highly immune to such empty compliments. Occasionally, when Fatty Yang praised her, she would force a smile in response, then immediately focus her attention on Lin Yao. She was very curious about this suddenly appearing cousin. Her mother, Gan Mei, never joked like this, and it seemed her father knew him too, but she had never seen or heard of such a cousin. So she became even more interested and was determined to dig out the truth about him.
Lin Yao couldn't eat anything; his stomach was already completely full. Looking at the glass of clear white liquor in front of him, he felt a pang of heartache thinking about the price he'd seen in the supermarket before. A bottle cost 18,888 yuan, and that was just the supermarket price; who knew how much it would cost in a hotel? This small glass must have cost at least six or seven hundred yuan.
"Extravagant!" Lin Yao cursed inwardly, picked up his wine glass, clinked it with Shang Wenge's, who was offering a toast, closed his eyes, and drank it down.
It's fragrant, mellow, and has a burning sensation in the throat but isn't pungent. But it's definitely not worth six or seven hundred yuan. People are divided into different classes, and a small sip of this liquor is worth a month's living expenses for many families.
Shang Wenge secretly toasted the doctor with a glass of wine, feeling even happier. If it weren't for Lin Yao, he probably wouldn't even be able to get out of bed, let alone drink. He thought to himself that he had a friend who was also riddled with illnesses. He wondered if the doctor could treat other diseases besides cardiovascular diseases.
“Cousin, let’s have a drink too.” Xiaolin stood up, raised her glass to toast, and stretched out her body, revealing her ample bosom to Lin Yao. The bosom was full, and Lin Yao could see the black lace trim.
With a loud bang, Lin Yao felt the alcohol taking effect, and he quickly waved his hand to cover it up, saying, "I can't drink, I'm not feeling well today."
"Xiaolin, stop fooling around, let your cousin rest for a while." Gan Mei patted her daughter's head that was sticking out of the table, and after dissuading her, she picked up her wine glass. "Come on, Gu Nan, your aunt hasn't seen you in a long time, let's have a drink."
Lin Yao gave a wry smile to himself, and could only pick up the wine glass that the waiter had filled and clink it against Gan Mei's, then tilt his head back and drink it all in one gulp. This scene astonished everyone around, even Xiao Lin looked at Lin Yao with wide eyes, wondering how this guy could get his parents to take turns toasting him.
"Oh my, heroes have always emerged from among the young! Little brother, let me have a drink with you too." Uncle Yang moved his fat bottom, picked up his wine glass and held it out to him. The white porcelain glass looked particularly exquisite in his bear-like fleshy hands.
"I can't drink anymore, I have to work overtime tonight." Lin Yao made up a lame excuse. In reality, his stomach couldn't hold any more alcohol, not even a three-cent cup. The atmosphere in his private room was too good, and he ate too much, so he felt full without realizing it.
"Oh, I see." Uncle Yang, who had lowered himself to the status of elder brother, was not embarrassed by the rejection and still had a smile on his face. "Where do you work, young man? Minister Shang's sons and nephews are all very talented. They must be working for a Fortune 500 company, right?"
Lin Yao glanced at Brother Yang, feeling a little impatient, and slowly said, "No, I work for a boss at night, selling lamb skewers, near Princess Tomb."
With a slurp, Shang Wenge, who was drinking soup, spat out the broth. Xiaolin, who was sitting next to him, was startled. After carefully checking that her clothes hadn't been taken care of, she felt relieved and went to get a napkin for her father. However, she didn't expect that in her delay, someone else was already serving him.
Gan Mei didn't drink the soup or eat anything, and she escaped unscathed. However, she was trying her best to maintain her composure, and she felt a little uncomfortable, her face turning red. Fortunately, she had drunk some wine, so the redness wasn't noticeable to everyone.
"Young man, you're quite humorous." Brother Yang chuckled awkwardly. Even a donkey should know Lin Yao's attitude; he simply didn't want to know him at all.
People are often quite despicable; the more you look down on them, the more superior they think you are. They don't care about those who fawn over them.
With Minister Shang standing there, Brother Yang naturally didn't believe Lin Yao's words. He was even more convinced that Lin Yao's background was extraordinary, probably no less than Minister Shang's. Otherwise, he wouldn't have disrespected Minister Shang at such a banquet, describing himself as a lamb kebab vendor, or even just a hired hand.
"Minister Shang, your nephew is really funny." Brother Yang said to Shang Wenge ingratiatingly, his already small eyes narrowing into slits. "I was originally thinking of trying to recruit this young man to our company, but I was overestimating myself."
Lin Yao suddenly had a thought. He remembered what Xiao Cao had said about entering the world. It wouldn't be bad to just work for someone else's company as an employee. He would feel constrained after returning to Chengdu. It seemed that cultivating oneself in the world wouldn't be very effective.
“No, I’m not lying.” Lin Yao blurted out, thinking to himself that he was even worse off than the lamb kebab vendor, who at least had a job. He wasn’t even registered in the employee roster of Minhong Pharmaceutical, he was practically an unemployed bum. “I have no diploma, I haven’t found a job, I came to Beijing this time just to make a living.”
"Ah! Is that so? Then come to my company, I promise I won't treat you badly." Brother Yang's small eyes widened instantly, shining with a light completely disproportionate to their size.
Gan Mei and Shang Wenge were both taken aback and looked at Lin Yao with some surprise. They didn't know what the miracle doctor was up to. Having been through the officialdom and business world for a long time, the two of them controlled their emotions very well. The surprise only flashed in their eyes for a moment and then disappeared, and they immediately smiled.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Yang. I also need to ask you to take care of my cousin." Gan Mei thanked him gently, her demeanor as elegant and refined as a CCTV host.
"Then it's a deal!" Brother Yang announced loudly, his joy evident in his voice, which made the other guests at the table envious. How could this pig have snatched such a good thing?
"I need to go back to my hometown to take care of some things before I can come to Beijing. Mr. Yang, is that alright?" Lin Yao made up his mind to try working. He had never worked before in his life. Not to mention working, he didn't even have any work experience. Apart from his internship at school, his previous job as a caregiver didn't count. That was working independently without a boss, which was even worse than being a porter.
"Of course, you can come anytime." Brother Yang waved his chubby hand, then scurried off his seat and walked quickly to Lin Yao's side, handing him his business card with both hands. "Just contact me when you get to Beijing, and I'll personally arrange everything for you. I promise you won't be treated unfairly."
Yang Lihong is the Chairman and General Manager of Beijing Hongyuan Import & Export Co., Ltd.
On the gleaming metal business card, a few simple words appeared. Lin Yao knew that this company must be quite large. Just by looking at the few leather jackets hanging in the corner of the private room and the way they addressed Shang Wenge, he knew that without considerable strength, it would be impossible to have dinner with Shang Wenge and Gan Mei's family. He just didn't understand why they chose Quanjude, which was not the best place for a formal banquet.

Thank you "Happy Luoba" for becoming the third helmsman of this book! Thank you!
Many authors using the Boolean B keyword like to use the word "congratulations," but I think "thank you" should be used instead. "Congratulations" is to congratulate someone on their gain, while "thank you" is to express gratitude for the benefit received. Yesterday, Lhoba MM specifically tipped twice to reach the level of a leader, and I didn't even notice. I was too busy writing yesterday and didn't thank her in time, please forgive me! Wishing Lhoba MM ever-increasing beauty, and eternal happiness and joy!
Thank you to "bulbbulb" and "kuei cabinet" for the donations!
Thanks to "bulblight bulb" for the 7 "urge to update" tickets! I don't plan to take them, haha.

After giving Gan Mei a temporary phone number, Lin Yao finally managed to escape and return to his private room, where everyone had been waiting for him for a long time.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang thanked him profusely and took their leave. The shrewd Zhang Yongqi had already sensed that the miracle doctor was waiting for someone, and being adept at handling people, he made an excuse to leave early. His wife, who had shared so much hardship with him, held Lin Yao's hand, repeatedly saying thank you. The most important man in her life had been saved by the miracle doctor, and the simple woman had no other way to express her gratitude than by saying thank you.
Everyone had a good impression of Zhang Yongqi and his wife. Situ Hao was a given, as he had received great help from him when he was in trouble. Lin Yao had a new understanding of the unscrupulous businessmen in this highly profitable industry. People like Ge Yongbanan, as long as they saw that a billionaire boss could still be so affectionate towards his wife who had shared hardships with him, immediately categorized him as a good person.
You can't judge a person solely by their status and industry. Even in industries with exorbitant profits that are almost monstrous, there can still be one or two good people like Zhang Yongqi. This can only be attributed to current events and national conditions, not to a proliferation of bad people.
Not long after, after seeing off the group of businessmen who had asked for favors, Gan Mei and her family arrived at Lin Yao's private room and met with everyone.
After the introductions, Nannan was the first to react. Linlin's random calls of "beautiful sister" made Xiao Guli join in the fun, which made Linlin beam with joy. Being called "beautiful sister" by such a young child was not embarrassing at all. On the contrary, it made her feel that children's words were genuine and that what children say is the truth.
Unfortunately, the enthusiastic Xiaolin didn't have enough fun. She wanted to play with the two little ones and hear them called her "pretty girl" a few more times, but one of the little ones was lying on the sofa with his belly in his hand, and the other was lying in Lin Yao's arms with his arms outstretched, as if doing chest expansion exercises could make his belly bigger and he could feel that he wasn't too full.
"Lili, why are you always lying in your brother's arms? Children need to be independent." Xiaolin clearly had no experience in pleasing children. Not only did she not call Lili "little handsome boy," but her words were also rather unhelpful.
