Chapter 149: Selling matsutake mushrooms to his brother-in-law!

When they arrived at the pavilion, Ji Chu took out a box of pandas from his pocket and pulled out two, offering one to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen nodded, said thank you, and put the cigarette in his mouth.

Ji Chu saw that he was wearing a worried expression, and his eyebrows twitched. He immediately took out his lighter and lit his own cigarette before passing the flame to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen took it and the cigarette was lit, and a cloud of smoke came out of his mouth.

To be honest, his mood was really not very good.

The truth is always cruel. Having learned the cause of Ji Pianran's death in his previous life, the guilt in his heart, which had nowhere to go, became even more profound.

How inhuman he really was.

Ji Chu spat out a puff of smoke and walked over, patting Gu Chen on the shoulder.

'It'll all pass.'

Judging from the number of times he'd seen Gu Chen at the hospital, Ji Chu felt that the man in front of him must have either a seriously ill family member or a seriously ill self.

If they were friends or relatives, they would probably not have come twice in such a short period of time.

And their faces would not be so grave.

Anyone who can make someone worry like this is most likely a close relative.

Gu Chen looked up at him. Judging from his appearance, Ji Chu looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, but from the way he dressed and carried himself, Gu Chen always felt that he was a little too composed for his age.

'Just now, in the chief's clinic, that old man was you,' Gu Chen said halfway through, leaving the rest to the young man opposite him.

To be honest, that old man was a little like his grandfather.

But Gu Chen didn't have the nerve to say so directly.

After all, it was considered normal to have a child at an old age.

If they really are father and son, it would be impolite for him to say so.

Upon hearing this, Ji Chu smiled.

'That's my father. My surname is Ji, and my name is Ji Chu. What's yours?'

He knew that the age difference between him and his father was quite large, which made many people curious, but it did not affect their father-son relationship.

Gu Chen's hand holding the cigarette flicked lightly, and then he exhaled a puff of smoke.

'My name is Gu Chen. It seems that I'm quite a bit older than you, so you have to call me brother.'

To be honest, this was the first time in his life that someone had spoken to him in such a tone of voice, asking him to call him brother. This in turn made him a little interested in the person in front of him, named Gu Chen.

He frowned slightly and couldn't help but smile.

Gu Chen looked at the smile on her face and always felt like he had seen it somewhere before, with a sense of familiarity and intimacy.

But after carefully going over it in his mind, he was sure that he didn't know the young man in front of him.

Gu Chen smiled, 'Gu Chen, I live in the countryside and sell vegetables for a living. If you don't mind, we can be friends.'

His attitude was very casual, and this casualness gave a sense of inexplicable confidence.

To be honest, Ji Chu had just graduated from high school at the beginning of the year and was still a child.

He clearly liked a carefree life, reading books every day, discussing life with like-minded classmates, and then concentrating on going to university and then taking the postgraduate entrance exam.

However, he was forced to get involved in the family business.

At an age when one should be carefree, he had to face all kinds of backstabbing every day.

This was nothing like the simple life he had yearned for, and it made him miserable. He had no choice but to pretend to be mature.

He was young and had never done business before, so he suffered a lot in the business world.

His spirit was greatly dampened, and without realising it, his little bit of confidence had vanished.

Even though he was a person of status, sometimes he just didn't have confidence.

In contrast, Gu Chen in front of him, who was just a vegetable seller, actually spoke with such confidence. This feeling made Ji Chu feel a little envious, and at the same time, he had the idea of wanting to help him.

He suddenly smiled, 'So what kinds of vegetables do you buy?'

It just so happened that the Ji family had opened a pharmaceutical factory here, and the factory had already been set up, and there was also a canteen. Although there were not many people, a hundred or so, these hundred or so people still had to eat food.

If Gu Chen could deliver food to his family, that would be considered helping him out.

His question had caught Gu Chen off guard.

He did sell vegetables, but the vegetables he sold were a bit unprofessional. To be precise, he actually sold everything.

He thought for a moment and said, 'Matsutake mushrooms.'

Although matsutake mushrooms are a high-end ingredient, they are still considered an ingredient, right?

So he is still selling vegetables!

Ji Chu's eyelids twitched.

His pupils vibrated imperceptibly.

This guy is really something!

He's selling matsutake mushrooms?

This person is really interesting!

He's selling high-end ingredients. How can he compare to an ordinary vegetable seller?

I'm so lucky that I was kind enough to let him deliver vegetables to my family's pharmaceutical factory canteen!

This is really...

He looked at Gu Chen with a mixture of amusement and embarrassment, 'You're not joking, are you?'

To be honest, Gu Chen's attire made Ji Chu somewhat suspicious of the truth of his words.

After all, matsutake mushrooms are really not cheap, and someone who does matsutake mushroom business must have some money, not to mention being rich, but they shouldn't be so unpresentable.

A shirt and a work jacket, with ordinary jeans and a pair of cloth shoes.

This is a bit out of character.

Gu Chen was not happy to hear this. What's there to lie about?

He stubbed out his cigarette and threw it in the trash can, noticing that Ji Chu was smiling derisively.

'At such a young age, why are you so suspicious? Why would I lie to you?'

Ji Chu winked, 'That's not it. My father has been eating pine mushrooms for the past few years. They're anti-cancer. My father has cancer, so if yours are good, you can consider selling them to me.'

Ji Guangsheng had a gastric cancer resection and has been using pine mushrooms as a dietary supplement for years as an adjuvant treatment.

Although it is an ingredient, its effect is not inferior to medicine.

The only drawback is that it is expensive, and the quality of the products on the market varies. If you can buy a good one, it is really hard to come by.

Plus, he has only recently arrived in Haicheng, so it is really hard to find good pine mushrooms.

The Ji family is not short of money, but what they lack is really good stuff!

So when Gu Chen said that he really sold matsutake, Ji Chu was very pleasantly surprised.

'Then let me take a look? If it's suitable, how about selling it to me?'

Gu Chen blinked when he heard that Ji Chu wanted to buy his matsutake, a bit taken aback.

To be honest, this young man does look like a rich kid, but his matsutake must weigh at least 20 catties, and at 600 per catty, that's 12,000.

Why is this kid so confident?

Can he be the master of 12,000?

But he didn't say so directly. After all, this is also an opportunity. Besides, the big gold ring is not reliable, anyway it's all unreliable. It's better to let this little brat have a look. If it doesn't work, it's not too late to go find the big gold ring.

What's more, he is also anxious to go home.

He hesitated for a moment, 'No problem, but you have to wait for me for a while. The matsutake is in the car. I'll buy the medicine for the child and come back to show it to you. Is that okay?'

Ji Chu himself was not in a hurry, and upstairs there was Uncle Guang watching, as well as the nursing staff. He could not help much himself.

The only thing he could do to help was probably to buy good matsutake mushrooms.

He nodded, 'Then go quickly and come back quickly. I'll wait for you here!'

Gu Chen smiled politely, 'Okay!'

After that, he turned around and walked towards the outside of the hospital.
