Could it be that Black Wolf was merely outwardly compliant, but secretly had Fu Gang make a move against him?
He then went out and called Xiong Fei, explaining the situation: "Old Xiong, help me inquire about Fu Gang. Is he planning to make a move against me? Also, keep an eye on Black Wolf."
Upon his return, Ye Tian noticed Zhu Yuting's gaze towards him had changed again. It was clear that Lin Ni had successfully painted him as someone with no future, someone who could be finished at any moment.
At this moment, He Dong, the owner of Imperial Kitchen, walked in. He smiled, "Brother Ye, I've finally got you here. I'm almost ready on my end. When will you help me develop medicinal cuisine?"
Ye Tian replied, "Anytime is fine."
He Dong was very pleased. "Brother Ye, as a token of my gratitude, I'll give you seventy percent of Imperial Kitchen's shares. Although Imperial Kitchen doesn't have many branches, its profits are quite good. The annual revenue is eight to nine hundred million, with profits of three to four hundred million. This money isn't a lot, but please don't look down on it."
Ye Tian said, "I'll pass on the shares."
He Dong insisted, "That won't do. If you don't accept, you're not treating me as a brother."
Ye Tian considered for a moment and finally said, "Alright."
Zhu Yuting and Lin Ni were both astonished. Three to four hundred million in profit, and seventy percent of that would be over two hundred million? Ye Tian could earn over two hundred million a year?
Ye Tian didn't want to stay with Lin Ni. After telling Lin Ziyi, he went to the back kitchen to develop medicinal cuisine.
After he left, Lin Ni snorted, "What's the point of making money? If you offend a big shot, aren't you finished in minutes?"
Lin Ziyi said angrily, "Sister, how can you talk about Ye Tian like that? What do you mean 'finished in minutes'?"
Lin Ni advised, "Ziyi, you must listen to me. Someone like Ye Tian will get into trouble sooner or later."
Lin Ziyi shook her head and stood up. "You guys eat. I'm going to find Ye Tian."
In the kitchen, Ye Tian utilized his knowledge to create four medicinal dishes: Sanmei Tofu, Dragon Tiger Soup, Immortal Drink, and Longevity Hot Pot.
The medicinal ingredients used were not particularly expensive, but their combined effect was excellent.
After finishing the four medicinal dishes, it was getting late. Ye Tian bid farewell to He Dong and returned to his home with Lin Ziyi. Lin Ni was currently staying at their home, and Lin Ziyi didn't want to go back to avoid another argument between them.
Upon arriving home, Xiong Fei's call also came in.
"Brother, I've investigated. Fu Gang is indeed looking for you. However, he's looking for you to treat his illness. Someone recommended you, saying your medical skills are superb. But I haven't found out what illness Fu Gang has."
Ye Tian replied, "Okay, I understand. Thank you for your trouble, Old Xiong."
"What are you being polite for? By the way, I'll be in Haicheng in a few days, so prepare good wine for me."
Ye Tian responded, "Alright, you're welcome to Haicheng."
Upon confirming that Fu Gang merely wanted medical treatment, Ye Tian no longer dwelled on the matter and continued to cultivate the Human King Scripture, practicing the first movement of the Body Refining chapter.
Compared to yesterday, he felt much better today. Moreover, when Ye Tian performed this movement, an inexplicable, strange power seemed to descend upon him, causing his body to undergo marvelous changes.
By dawn, the movement was no longer as painful, but he was still quite exhausted. He slept until eight-thirty before getting up.
However, he couldn't be lazy; he still had to see patients at the hospital. Ye Tian had now become a calling card for the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, and patients from other cities had also begun to seek his treatment.
Generally, external patients presented with more complex and difficult-to-treat conditions. Despite Ye Tian's high skill level, he was only one person, so he began to focus on cultivating Xu Ruofei.
The intensive consultations allowed Xu Ruofei to improve rapidly. She could independently handle most conditions, though her treatment details were not as refined as Ye Tian's, but it was still commendable.
Thus, Ye Tian had the clinic renovated to include two tables. One was managed by Xu Ruofei, and the other by him. For less complicated illnesses, Xu Ruofei would handle the diagnosis. For more difficult cases, Ye Tian would take over. This arrangement nearly doubled the efficiency of the outpatient services.
During the lunch break, the dean appeared with a middle-aged man. Someone had used connections, and the dean, not daring to cut in line, could only bring the person over during Ye Tian's break.
Yan Lizhi said, "Doctor Wu, this is Secretary Fu Gang from the Provincial Government Office. Secretary Fu is feeling a bit unwell. Do you have time to see him?"
