Chapter 145 The Unreliable Boss
Chapter 145 The Unreliable Boss
Under the cover of night, outside a small courtyard, Ming, looking anxious, paced back and forth, craning his neck to look around.
A short while later, a tall figure came into view carrying a basket. His eyes lit up, and he immediately went to greet her, "You've finally arrived!"
Luo Ning rolled up his sleeves, clearly ready to make a big splash.
"Where's the kitchen? Take me there quickly, I can't wait to show off my cooking skills!"
Please note that Luo Ning is not the third sister at this moment; she is the simple and honest junior sister who is undergoing surgery.
She's here to resolve this trouble, so sincerity is essential!
Ming set her up with a solution to her aircraft problem, asking her to come and cook dinner in return.
This is child's play; she can handle it perfectly well.
"Things have changed. Come in with me!" Ming hurriedly walked into the courtyard, his heart filled with anxiety.
"Huh?" Luo Ning hesitated, sensing that things were about to get complicated, and she was testing the waters of escape.
Ming seemed to have realized her intention and hurriedly stopped her, "Ancestor, we're already here!"
Alright, alright, since you've been so polite and treated me like royalty, I'll reluctantly go in for a stroll.
If things turn bad, it's still not too late to run away.
I'm a fairy, what am I afraid of!
As soon as Luo Ning stepped into the courtyard, she sensed that something was wrong.
She clung to the courtyard gate, refusing to take another step. "Ming, you bastard, do you think you're so great? How dare you set me up!"
Ming was speechless and choked with emotion. "Ancestor, how could I dare? This was an emergency. I've already tried to save him once, but the effect wasn't significant! You've come at a time when saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda!"
"I'm a bad person, why should I go and save people?" Luo Ning firmly refused. She was only there to cook, not to save people.
Ming rubbed his temples, leaned closer to Luo Ning, and muttered, "If Chief Quan doesn't get better, your troubles won't be resolved!"
Luo Ning pondered for 0.0001 seconds before pressing for an answer, "What's their background? Are they among the three incurable diseases?"
Seeing that there was hope, he nodded repeatedly, "He's not one of the three types of people who can't be punished, and he's a big shot who meets the conditions for being punished!"
Ming had been following Luo Ning for a long time and had picked up many of her catchphrases.
Luoning has three types of people who cannot be cured: those who are not sincere or upright, daughters of high-ranking officials, daughters of wealthy families, and those surnamed Ye.
There are also three kinds of "Zhi": "Zhi" refers to being wounded in the revolutionary cause, "Zhi" refers to fighting bloody battles for the founding of the country and sacrificing one's life, and "Zhi" refers to devoting oneself to the cause of science.
"Hurry up and go, what are you dawdling for? Young people really have no sense of propriety at all!" Luo Ning hurriedly walked inside, scolding as she went.
The scapegoat, Ming, looked up at the sky speechlessly, "Okay, okay, it's all my fault."
Two hours later, Luo Ning was so exhausted that she crawled away from the bedside.
With his keen eye, Ming immediately handed over a glass of water, saying, "Have some water and take a rest!"
The family members of Chief Quan stood aside and returned the greeting, but they all looked on with suspicion.
The old man's medical experts have already given up on him, so how can that little girl possibly make it?
Their gazes did not escape Luo Ning's notice. Luo Ning took the cup and slammed it on the table, then stormed out in a fit of rage, "Ming, I'm going back to report you for badmouthing me! You're not being honest, yet you still want me to take action!"
Ming glared fiercely at Chief Quan's family, furious. "I'm never getting involved in your family's mess again. You had one set of rules when you were begging for help, but then another when my junior sister and I treated Chief Quan's illness. You're really something!"
He hurriedly chased after her, calling out as he ran, "Junior Sister, wait for me..."
Suddenly a coughing sound came from inside. The family members of Chief Quan turned around and were shocked to find that their old man had actually sat up in bed. What was going on? It was the middle of the night and it felt a little creepy.
"Where is that girl? Find her for me right now!" Chief Quan was trembling with excitement. Although he was lying down, he had been conscious.
He has been bedridden for a long time and nothing can cure him. Recently, he has even lost his appetite.
Somehow, Ming found out about it and came over to enthusiastically recommend his junior sister's cooking skills. He was indifferent and let her give it a try.
Before he could even eat, he was able to sit up, which was a truly unexpected surprise.
Chief Quan's eldest son, Quan Xiangyang, reacted the fastest and hurriedly went out to find someone.
Luo Ning dawdled along at a snail's pace, barely managing to step on an ant, and was overtaken by Quan Xiangyang before he even left the door.
"Dr. Ming, and this young comrade, my father invites you!"
"Senior brother, what do you think?" Luo Ning passed the buck to Ming. Should they go back or go back?
"Junior Sister, I think we should go back. Although these big spoons are rude, we can't go back on our promise to Chief Quan! Otherwise, how will we survive in the martial world?" Ming followed Luo Ning's train of thought, suppressing his laughter until his stomach hurt.
"Well, alright then!" Luo Ning reluctantly turned around, passing Quan Xiangyang without even rolling her eyes at him.
She won't leave; she'll never leave in her entire life.
She spent a lot of effort treating people today, so how could she not earn some interest in return?
She's a bad person! And a businesswoman at that.
Luo Ning swaggered in, as if he were in an empty place.
For a moment he was lost in thought, and it seemed he saw...
Luo Ning stood five meters away from Chief Quan's bed, exuding an aura of dominance.
The way Chief Quan's family looked at her was completely different from before, and Chief Quan's second son, Quan Xiangchen, was on the verge of apologizing.
Luo Ning raised his right hand to forcefully stop him, then looked at the old man on the bed with deep eyes.
Before she could even speak, Old Master Quan snorted coldly in dissatisfaction, "Where's my food?"
"Coming right away!" Luo Ning strongly agreed, saying that one needs to be well-fed to have the energy to discuss matters, which was a good idea.
She lifted her foot and walked outside. "Senior brother, let's go cook!"
"Alright!" Ming eagerly followed, taking a few quick steps to lead the way.
The whole family was collectively frustrated, feeling ignored like they were being left hanging; that little girl had such a terrible temper.
They had barely begun to complain when Chief Quan started criticizing them.
Luo Ning only cooked a bowl of millet porridge, which was cooked until it was oily and smelled incredibly delicious. She brought the millet porridge to her bedside, pretending not to have heard the scolding that had just happened.
The room was instantly filled with a rich aroma, and Old Master Quan unconsciously swallowed.
"Why is there so little? How can this be enough for me?" he complained, picking up the millet porridge and taking a mouthful without waiting.
It smells so good, and it tastes even better. It's sweet with a hint of fragrance, and it's not too hot to eat. It's wonderful.
"It's good enough to have something to eat, why be so picky? Even the richest family doesn't have surplus grain!" Luo Ning pouted. After being hungry for so long, being able to eat porridge was already a blessing.
"You stingy guy!" Chief Quan continued drinking his porridge. He had never eaten such delicious porridge at home. It was so fragrant that he almost swallowed his tongue.
Chief Quan's angry gaze swept over Quan Xiangyang and Quan Xiangyangchen, all because these two unfilial sons didn't give him good food.
Quan Xiangyang and Quan Xiangchen were suffering inside, but they didn't say anything.
Once Chief Quan started eating, he couldn't stop. He finished all the porridge and then asked Luo Ning for some more, with complete confidence, "Girl, have some more!"
Luo Ning shrugged and spread his hands. "Please leave the porridge alone. Now it's time for a talk!"
She only cooked one bowl, because the big boss could only eat one bowl, there was no extra left for him!
"What's there to talk about? I want to eat!" Old Master Quan refused outright.
"You're something else! You're not an ordinary person! You've disgraced your own name!" Luo Ning turned and left, pounding her chest in anger.
If she had known that old man Quan Shoucheng was so unreliable, she would never have come back.
Ming's face instantly turned cold, and he turned to walk out. "Chief Quan, this kind of underhanded behavior will not lead to anything!"
A glint of light flashed in Chief Quan's eyes. It's so similar, it really is!
