Family Banquet (2)

  As for Jiang Youjia, whom he met on the plane, Guo Ye didn't have a very deep impression of him. He just felt that this young man in his thirties had an extraordinary air about him, with a maturity and composure that was not commensurate with his age. He hadn't thought much more about it, but after chatting with Zhang Shuai, he vaguely felt that the Jiang family was very influential in Hangzhou. Now that he was fighting alone, it would be beneficial to establish a relationship with the Jiang family. After all, his medical skills were not a bad thing for anyone!

  After a moment's hesitation, Guo Yi decided to attend this family banquet.

  Today, the clinic had a lot of patients, mostly minor cases, some were because of accidental injuries, and some were due to fever and diarrhea. They were all minor illnesses. It's likely that they heard about yesterday's rescue of the little boy, which increased their trust in the clinic. Most of these people came specifically for Dr. Xia, who was indeed impressive. For general minor ailments, he would just press a few points and it would take effect immediately. For slightly more serious cases, he would prescribe some medicine, and very humbly ask Expert Li to review it before handing over the prescription to the patient. This made Gao Rong, who had been secretly observing Dr. Xia, very happy. He had heard that this young man came from a remote mountainous area and had no concept of salary. Although he was capable, his salary was not even as high as an intern nurse's. It was like heaven had sent him a money tree!

  Today, Nurse Xiao Zhuo's mood was very complicated and she didn't bother Doctor Xia again. The other nurses couldn't help but make some jokes when they saw Guo Ye, but what the nurses were discussing the most was what happened yesterday when they were singing. It was said that a few strange-looking handsome guys had been beaten up after someone knocked over their expensive wine, and it was even said that they were beaten by a man and a woman. Because of the timing and the fact that Tang Wen Zhuo and Doctor Xia left around the same time, they teased Tang Wen Zhuo, saying that the arrogant couple wouldn't be her and Doctor Xia, would they? Tang Wen Zhuo ignored them, but they snickered behind her back, unaware that their teasing was actually true!

  After getting off work, Guo Yi took a taxi directly to Jiang's house. Jiang Youjia had already sent the address to him before that.

  It wasn't until I got off the car that I realized this place is no less luxurious than Xixi Paradise, but while Xixi Paradise advocates for luxury, this place has a majestic atmosphere that combines stability and elegance. There's no ostentatious wealth, yet it doesn't fall into any clichés. Pavilions, towers, small bridges, and flowing water truly blend the garden and residence together.

  Kuo Yebian walked while looking around, people and cars came and went in the residential area, completely unaware that someone had already taken notice of him.

  "Lailai, look, isn't that the doctor with a special hobby from the plane?"

  "Which doctor? Feifei, aren't you dating a musician now?"

  Xu Feifei was taken aback for a moment before she remembered and said:

  "You're talking about that idiot playing guitar by West Lake, what kind of social interaction is that? I just wanted to try out Miss's charm in Hangzhou and see if it still works. Alas, you've seen the result too - no matter how well hidden, I'll always be ruthlessly exposed by everyone's gaze. I'm always so anxious..."

  Bai Le had already gotten used to her nonsense. She raised her head and saw Guo Yao, then smiled at Xu Fei Fei:

  "Yes, you're always so eye-catching, you can always attract people's attention. Then, let me see you attract that doctor's attention?"

  Xu Feifei looked at Guo Yao and sighed:

  "Sister's charm is for men, but does he look like a man?"

  "How come it doesn't look like it?"

  "Hmm, this isn't a matter of whether it's like that or not, but an inherent problem. In short, he's not a man. Do you remember when I wanted to sit next to him on the plane? He didn't even look me straight in the eye. Tell me, is this the reaction of a normal man?"

  Belle is speechless, what kind of logic is this?

  Xu Feifei said so, but she was still eager to try. She is a very progressive girl who gets back up from where she fell and doesn't easily admit defeat. Now she even has an idea - to make this damned doctor fall in love with her, then dump him to take revenge on his disdain for her. Unfortunately, before she could approach, someone else came forward, smiling brightly as they escorted Guo Ye inside.

  This made Bie Lai somewhat surprised, that person she was familiar with, Jiang You Jia, the rising star of the Jiang family. The Jiang family from Zhejiang and the Bie family from Shandong were old acquaintances, but Bie Lai had never been interested in her family's social obligations, so she wasn't familiar with the Jiangs, and hadn't recognized them on the plane either.

  The Jiang family already knew that the daughter of another family had arrived in Hangzhou, so naturally they would invite Bie Lei to this family dinner. As for whether she was willing to come or not, it was her own choice. Originally, Bie Lei wasn't interested in such family gatherings, but her good friend's curiosity was too great and she had to come take a look at the Jiang family that shook the Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. Helplessly, Bie Lei came along, and because she wasn't familiar with the people of the Jiang family, she did her homework beforehand so as not to be rude. It was only then that she discovered that the father and son she met on the plane were actually old friends of her own family.

  After entering Guo Yi's room, he suddenly felt a pang of regret. What kind of family dinner was this? The self-service restaurants he had been to were no better than this. The living room was crowded and noisy, although the people speaking in hushed tones, but the collective chatter still created a considerable din. Jiang Youjia saw Guo Yi frowning and hastily explained:

  "It was originally a family dinner, all our own people, but later on, I don't know who blabbed that Father's health had recovered, and suddenly many of Father's former colleagues came to congratulate him. This face cannot be lost, so..."

  Kuo I-cheng forced a smile and said:

  "No house is no big deal, I just don't like noisy places. Jiang Ge, your house is big enough! Are you a landlord?"

  Jiang Youjia smiled and said:

  "The size of the house doesn't matter, after all, a person only needs three feet to sleep. Even if it's big, it's not useful. Actually, I still prefer smaller spaces. However, as you can see, this living room is large, but many people still can't sit down, and it ends up feeling somewhat small."

  Kuo Yeh smiled and said:

  "If all Chinese girls thought like you, boys would have less pressure and housing prices wouldn't be so high!"

  Jiang Youka burst out laughing, but then saw a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes with a big belly walking over, who laughed and said:

  "Director Jiang, it's been a long time since I've seen you smile so happily. What's the good news? Share it with me and let me be happy too."

  Jiang Youjia nodded slightly and said to Guo Yi:

  "This is the God of Wealth from Zhejiang Province, the president of the Zhejiang branch of China CITIC Bank, President Wan..."

  Guo Yi hastily pulled at Jiang Youjia's sleeve, but Jiang Youjia's expression didn't change as he continued to speak:

  "This is my cousin, just arrived in Hangzhou, if there's a chance, please take care of him more!"

  Wan Xinglong was taken aback, thinking that Guo Yao must be the son of a prominent family, otherwise how could Jiang Youjia, known for his cold demeanor in business circles, speak to him so familiarly. But who would have thought that he was actually his cousin? When he looked at Guo Yao again, he couldn't help but feel a hint of disdain. He nodded slightly towards Guo Yao as a greeting, then turned to Jiang Youjia and said:

  "Brother Jiang, I heard that Uncle Jiang has recovered, it's really wonderful news! Why haven't I seen the old man?"

  "Hehe, yes, my father's body has indeed recovered well recently and is now resting. He will come out to meet everyone in a while."

  Ten thousand lines of code nodded in agreement.

  Guo Yixin thought for a moment, there were not many people here who knew him, even if there were acquaintances, they only knew that he was Xia Jun, and he didn't have to worry at all, as long as he kept a low profile. He smiled and said:

  "Brother Jiang, just introduce me like that later on, no need to say more. I'm a person who doesn't really like socializing."

  Jiang Youka was slightly surprised, this time the Jiang family invited Guo Yao over, firstly to thank Guo Yao for saving his life, and to maintain a good relationship with this low-key divine doctor. Secondly, they wanted to use this grand family banquet as an opportunity to greatly publicize Guo Yao's name, using the Jiang family's influence, it would surely cause a sensation in Hangzhou and even the entire province of Zhejiang. A doctor, as long as he has a positive reputation, coupled with Guo Yao's extraordinary medical skills, wealth would come pouring in, this was also a way for the Jiang family to repay their debt of gratitude.

  Who knew, he actually didn't allow me to introduce his medical skills and true identity. Such an opportunity is hard to come by.

  Jiang Youjia was in a daze, but saw the old man walking down from upstairs, and everyone gathered around to celebrate. The old man casually waved his hand, letting everyone proceed freely, without being restrained by his presence.

  Guo Yi looked on with a mixture of shock and amazement at the way these people spoke and acted, and in the grand hall, there were not a few who were equivalent to him in status. All of them showed such respect to Old Man Jiang, revealing the extent of the Jiang family's influence. Jiang Youjia saw his father's gaze searching for someone in the crowd, immediately raised his hand, and then led Guo Yi forward. Old Man Jiang was overjoyed when he saw Guo Yi, immediately grasping his hand and wanting to introduce this young genius doctor to everyone. Jiang Youjia hastily whispered a few words into his ear, and after looking at his son and then at Guo Yi, the old man smiled after a moment:

  "You'd better think carefully about this, as it may almost affect your future destiny!"

  Although the old man's words were a bit exaggerated, they were also true. Today, almost all of the elites in Hangzhou and even Zhejiang have gathered in this hall. If these people get to know Guo Yao, the wealth they bring will be immeasurable at that time.

  Guo Yi nodded in satisfaction. He certainly liked money, but unfortunately, now was not the time to make it. Once these people found out, his identity wouldn't last a few days!

  "Alright, whenever you have this idea, you can find me anytime!"

  A thin man, like a bamboo pole, approached Wan Xiangchang and asked in a low voice:

  "What a close relationship between Jiang's father and son and that young man! Who is this young man after all?"

  Wan Xing Chang smiled slightly and said:

  "What's so sacred? He's just a distant relative of the Chiang family, don't bother with him."

  In fact, it's not just them, almost everyone has noticed this young man...
