Chapter 7 Three Visits To The Thatched Cottage

If Chu Meiting had uttered those words, Chu Jiang would probably not have believed it. Even Zhang Zhongji confirmed that it was Ye Fei who rescued him. Chu Jiang found it hard to believe! Dr. Zhang's reputable status was undeniable, how could he deceive himself? "Hmph, even if you did save me, what difference does it make? It's still because of you that the Chu family faced financial ruin! I would rather you hadn't saved me." Chu Jiang continued to grumble angrily, muttering under his breath. "Dad!" Chu Meiting pulled at Chu Jiang's sleeve and whispered, "Haven't you realized yet? With Dr. Zhang on our side, how could the Zhao family dare to oppress us?" Chu Jiang was initially taken aback, then a glimmer of hope appeared on his face as he gazed at Zhang Zhongji. "Mr. Chu, have no fear." Zhang Zhongji smiled, nodded, and reassured, "I have already spoken with several suppliers from the Zhang family. They will maintain their collaboration with the Chu Company in the future. So, rest assured, there will be no issues." Chu Jiang was elated. The extensive influence of the Zhang family far surpassed that of the small Zhao family. With the support of the Zhang family's suppliers, the Chu Company would not only evade bankruptcy but also flourish and thrive, with business flourishing. It was entirely achievable. With his spirits lifted, Chu Jiang's appetite also returned. He eagerly devoured the bowl of porridge on the table. Businessmen always prioritize their interests. When news of the partnership between Zhongjing Group and Chushi Company spread, numerous individuals were left dumbfounded. They couldn't comprehend how the struggling Chushi Company had managed to align itself with Zhongjing Group. Some daring businessmen began reaching out to Chushi Company, attempting to initiate small transactions to verify the authenticity of the news. The Zhao family was the most astonished. Despite their influence in Jiangbei City, they paled in comparison to Zhongjing Group and did not dare to provoke them. As for the businessmen flirting with Chushi Company, they had no choice but to turn a blind eye. If they were to provoke Zhongjing Group, it would be the Zhao family that would face financial ruin. Consequently, after the businessmen observed the lack of response from the Zhao family following their tests, they disregarded their previous tough stance and continued to collaborate with Chushi Company. Moreover, with the golden reputation of Zhongjing Group, those who had previously looked down on Chushi Company now sought to benefit from the association. Suddenly, the once deserted Chushi Company experienced a surge in business, with a steady flow of customers coming and going. Those who had resigned immediately upon witnessing the situation were now filled with regret, wishing they could turn back time. The company was severely understaffed, and even Ye Fei was recruited by Chu Meiting to assist. Apart from caring for his father, he dedicated all his time to the company. First Hospital. "Doctor, is there truly no solution?" inquired a middle-aged man with a serious expression, gazing at the doctor with a hint of reluctance. Lying on the adjacent bed was a petite woman, clutching her stomach tightly, her body curled up in agony. "Mr. Ma." The middle-aged doctor in a white coat was perspiring under his scrutiny. "We have exhausted all our efforts, but we are unable to diagnose this illness." Ma Tianan furrowed his brow, and a tall bodyguard behind him seized the doctor's collar, berating loudly, "You incompetent fool? Every time you visit, you claim to be clueless, yet you still demand a hefty fee. What good are you!" The doctor's expression mirrored a bitter gourd, feeling immensely frustrated. Ma Tianan was the wealthiest individual in Jiangbei City, having earned a reputation through audacity and hard work in his earlier years. Not even a small-time doctor like him, let alone the hospital director, could afford to offend him. "Tiger!" Ma Tianan frowned. "Refrain from using violence, let's converse." The bodyguard released the doctor with a fierce expression, resembling a ready-to-pounce vicious dog. Ma Tianan's gaze fixed on the doctor as he earnestly said, "Dr. Liu, you must find a solution! Xiao Jiao can't endure much more of this torment." Dr. Liu breathed a sigh of relief, pondered for a moment, and then his eyes sparkled. He quickly spoke, "There is someone who might be able to cure her illness." "Who?" Ma Tianan stood up instantly, excitement shining in his eyes. "I am not familiar with this person either..." Doctor Liu had just finished speaking when he noticed the angry bodyguard and hurriedly continued, "This doctor is young and appears to have a good relationship with the Chu Corporation! When Mr. Chu was on the brink of death, he was miraculously saved by him. It was unbelievable. If he intervenes, there might be hope of uncovering the root of the illness." Upon hearing this, Ma Tianan wasted no time and promptly ordered, "Let's go to the Chu Corporation!" Upon arrival at the Chu Corporation, they were greeted by a large crowd, causing a headache. "When did a company with such thriving business emerge in Jiangbei City?" Ma Tianan wondered to himself as he entered the company's lobby and headed straight to the front desk, "Please inform your company's boss to come out. I have some questions for him." The receptionist glanced at Ma Tianan and impatiently asked, "Do you have an appointment?" Ma Tianan was surprised. Since when did he need an appointment to get things done in Jiangbei City? Failing to produce one, the receptionist pointed outside and disdainfully remarked, "If you don't have an appointment, please wait in line outside. Our Mr. Chu is busy with business and cannot attend to you." The bodyguard, Tiger, became agitated and cursed, "Do you know who Mr. Ma is?" The receptionist rolled her eyes, "I don't care if he's Mr. Ma or Mr. Donkey. I don't know him, so please make an appointment outside." Tiger was on the verge of throwing a punch out of anger. Ma Tianan intervened and said firmly, "We are here for medical treatment, not to cause trouble. Control your temper and let's come back early tomorrow." The following morning, the two arrived early, only to be turned away once again. Chu Jiang was out discussing business and was not present in the company. "Brother Ma!" Lao Hu's anger was evident as he gritted his teeth and suggested, "Let's cause a scene at this company. I refuse to believe that Chu will not come out." After two unsuccessful attempts to meet him, Ma Tianan was equally frustrated. However, he refrained from acting impulsively. His purpose was to seek medical advice, not to create chaos. After some consideration, he took out a business card and handed it to the receptionist. "Inform Mr. Chu that I am Ma Tianan and I have some business matters to discuss with him." This move proved effective. When Chu Jiang saw Ma Tianan's business card, he was both surprised and pleased. Chu Jiang, the wealthiest man in Jiangbei City, had never imagined that he would have the opportunity to engage with Ma Tianan. Therefore, he waited early at the company, hoping to secure a significant order. "Mr. Chu." Dressed in a sharp suit, Ma Tianan smiled with a hint of annoyance, "You have kept me waiting for quite some time over the past few days."
