Chapter 178: The terrified Boss Zhao

"Brother, this meat is seven yuan per catty. You want so much, so I'll round down the price for you. My wife sells live chickens across the street. They're all raised in the family. How about you take a couple with you and I'll give you a discount?'

Gu Chen looked in the direction he was pointing, and sure enough, a woman wearing an apron and a white cap was sitting next to a few chicken coops. The chickens looked good.

They all looked fierce, one defying the other, and the meat looked very firm.

He nodded, 'Okay, I'll go take a look.'

After saying that, he walked over and picked three roosters that looked good.

After buying the beef and chicken, Gu Chen also bought a lot of pig's trotters. This stuff is more fragrant than pork belly when stewed, and it is soft and sticky, which is what the elderly and children like to eat the most.

After buying the meat, he also bought a lot of vegetables, such as eggplants, water spinach, butterhead lettuce, as well as green bamboo shoots, tofu skins and so on.

When going to the market, he also bought some chocolates and milk candies.

The adults are coming for dinner, and there must be a lot of children, too. These are all for the children.

Having bought everything, Gu Chen returned to the car with her arms full.

She had spent quite a lot of money, nearly 300 yuan, after all, there was just so much to buy.

It was already 8:30.

Gu Chen started the car and set off for the hospital. Originally, the way to the hospital did not need to pass by Lao Zhao's Jixiang Dry Goods Company.

However, since he started from the Chengnan Market, the shortest route is to go past Lao Zhao's company.

Gu Chen didn't think much about it, and in order to save time, he immediately passed through the entrance of Lao Zhao's company without hesitation.

At this time, a few young men were moving goods at the entrance, and Lao Zhao had just arrived.

He was about to enter the door when he saw Gu Chen's van coming from afar. He was familiar with this car, because it was originally driven by Lao Hu.

Now it is rented to Gu Chen.

Seeing Gu Chen coming, he hurriedly put on a smile and went up to greet him.

He had just raised his hand to say hello when, unexpectedly, Gu Chen drove straight past without stopping, as if he hadn't seen him.

Lao Zhao was confused.

What was going on?

His hand was still raised in the air.

Didn't see me?

That's impossible.

I came up to him smiling, and he still didn't see me?

He doesn't want to talk to me.

Thinking about this, Lao Zhao felt a little guilty. Could it be that Tian Laosi from yesterday had said something to Gu Chen?

He slapped his head hard. This is bad!

Gu Chen must have found out that I was asking about the source of supply!

Thinking about this, Lao Zhao instantly felt anxious.

He just wanted to ask to see if he could find the source of supply, even though Gu Chen said it was home-grown.

But he never took him to see the garden, and he always felt that something was wrong.

In business, you want to keep all the information to yourself, so that you can feel at ease.

Unexpectedly, Gu Chen was being paranoid.

That was clearly a sign that he didn't want to deal with him.

At the moment, Gu Chen's wolfberry products were in trial production, and even the packaging was ready, so they would soon be launched.

If he got angry with him at this time and didn't supply him, wouldn't that be the end?

No, he would go to Lao Hu and try to think of something!

Thinking about him, he hurriedly walked over to Lao Hu's car repair shop.

Gu Chen glanced at Lao Zhao in the rearview mirror, then a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, with a hint of disdain.

Lao Zhao is a person. Call him stupid, he is the boss of a small but not insignificant company with a handful of people under him.

Call him smart, what he has done is really indescribable.

He actually asked Tian Laosi about his own supply.

Needless to say, the fact that he was able to bring Tian Laosi here shows that their relationship is definitely not an ordinary one.

Now you know what to panic about?

This is just the beginning.

Today, I really don't have time to argue with him about this. When he makes the next delivery, he must let this Zhao know the reason why there are some things that should be asked and some things that should not be asked.

When doing business, there should be rules for doing business.

When they arrived at the hospital, it was exactly 9 o'clock, and the doctor was just doing rounds.

Director Jin was standing next to Ji Pianran with two young nurses, whispering something to her, when she saw Gu Chen walk in.

She smiled at Gu Chen.

'Your wife is recovering well. She is being discharged today, so you can go downstairs and arrange for the inpatient surgery.'

Gu Chen nodded, 'Thank you.'

After that, she placed the congee and chicken soup on Ji Pianran's bedside table, smiled at her, and said, 'Daughter-in-law, breakfast, eat it while it's hot.'

After saying this, she hurried downstairs to go through the discharge procedures.

Ji Pianran hadn't even opened the lunch box yet, but Ma Xiaolan could already smell the rich aroma of chicken soup.

Needless to say, it must be her husband Gu Chen bringing her another delicious meal.

'I really envy you, having such a good husband. Look at your husband Gu Chen, cooking for you every day in different ways. He's so young and handsome, and hardworking too. He's definitely going to have a bright future!'

Ma Xiaolan looked at Ji Pianran with emotion.

Ji Pianran smiled, 'Ma, you're at it again.'

Although she said this, she actually felt an indescribable warmth in her heart, and a little bit of pride.

She had never been a proud person, but for some reason, every time she heard someone praise Gu Chen, she felt happy.

She opened the lunch box, which contained a box of black chicken soup with a small piece of ginseng.

As the lid opened, the rich fragrance of the chicken soup with ginseng filled the entire ward, and even Director Jin, who had just finished checking on the patients, couldn't help but swallow.

She looked around, 'What's that smell? It's too fragrant!'

The young nurses behind her also sniffed carefully and then swallowed.

'Yes, I haven't had breakfast yet, I'm starving!'

'It smells so good, I can't stand it!'

Ma Xiaolan smiled, 'This is the chicken soup of love that Gu Chen made for his wife!'

On hearing the words "chicken soup of love", Director Jin glanced at Ji Pianran's lunch box.

On seeing it, his eyebrows twitched for a moment, and a flash of surprise passed over his face.

'Wow, the food is pretty good, ginseng and black chicken soup, this ginseng looks like a good one!'

She was a doctor, although a Western medicine doctor, but medicine comes from the same family, and she had seen a lot of ginseng herself.

This ginseng must be at least a hundred years old, and according to market prices, it must be worth at least a thousand yuan.

Gu Chen is a good guy, and he treats his wife really well. Just this ginseng alone must have cost him a fortune!

Hearing Director Jin say this, even the old lady across the street couldn't help but swallow.

Goodness, she had been busy her whole life and had never seen what ginseng looked like. This Ji Pianran is only in her twenties, and she's already taking such a precious tonic?

That's a bit much.

Ma Xiaolan was almost envious to death.

They were both women, but look at Ji Pianran, and look at herself.

It's really depressing to compare oneself to others!

There were a lot of people at the hospital today, and Gu Chen had to wait in line for a long time before it was his turn.

By the time he finished the discharge procedures and came back up, Ji Pianran had already packed her things, changed her clothes, and was sitting on the bed waiting for him.
