The Xi Shan Restaurant in Binyang transferred a portion of its staff to the restaurant in Modu this time, so Ling Zhenfei is quite satisfied.
The Xi Shan Restaurant headquarters in Binyang is now a powerful employee training base. Only after receiving training at Binyang Restaurant can employees, including waiters and chefs, take up their posts.
So they say beginnings are difficult; with the first Xi Shan Restaurant in Binyang, opening more restaurants becomes easier, at least with experience, like feeling the stones while crossing the river.
After hanging up the phone with Yang Zixuan, Ling Zhenfei called He Lingxiu, surprisingly, Chunyu answered.
"Brother, is that you?"
"Chunyu, it's me. Why did you answer the call? Where's your Sister Lingshu?"
Chunyu said, "Sister Lingshu is treating someone, so she doesn't have time to answer the phone."
Ling Zhenfei had left the last month's free treatment patients to He Lingxiu before he left. He wondered how the treatment went.
"Where are you now?" Ling Zhenfei asked.
"Brother, we are in Northern Shaanxi."
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback; why was He Lingxiu in Northern Shaanxi? He remembered the last patient wasn't from Northern Shaanxi.
"Why did you go to Northern Shaanxi?"
Chunyu said, "After treating the last patient, Sister Lingshu asked me where I wanted to go for fun. I read about the Terracotta Warriors in a book and wanted to see them, so Sister Lingshu brought me here."
It turns out He Lingxiu finished treating the previous patient, indicating her Medical Arts skills were now quite independent.
Chunyu continued, "We had just arrived in Northern Shaanxi when a group of people came up at the airport. A hospital director invited Sister Lingshu to their hospital for a consultation."
"So you're at the hospital for a consultation, that's fine, but tell your Sister Lingshu that the new year is approaching, you should come back early."
"Got it, brother, and where are you now?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "I'm in the Provincial City now, and I might be heading to Modu tomorrow."
"Alright, brother, safe travels. I'm going to find Sister Lingshu now."
They hung up the phone, and a smile appeared on Ling Zhenfei's lips. With Chunyu accompanying He Lingxiu, they should be safe and definitely wouldn't be bored. From their conversation, it seemed He Lingxiu and Chunyu got along well.
Ling Zhenfei walked while talking on the phone, unaware of where he had wandered.
He pondered who else he should call, like Xu Yuyu, Ji Mei, Jiu Jiu, etc.
At that moment, he instinctively looked up and suddenly felt something flying towards him. Shocked, Ling Zhenfei couldn't believe he was under attack here.
Luckily, his reflexes were quick and he caught the object deftly.
It turned out to be someone's hand. Ling Zhenfei had grabbed the person's wrist and looked up quickly to see who was hitting him, and he froze.
Because it was Bai Ling who was hitting him, and at that moment, Bai Ling was looking at him with tearful eyes, filled with tears.
Ling Zhenfei hadn't seen Bai Ling for a long time, and suddenly was too emotional to speak.
"Bai Ling, is it you?"
Bai Ling forcefully pulled her arm away from Ling Zhenfei's grip and slapped him again, but this time Ling Zhenfei didn't dodge and let Bai Ling's slap land on his face.
Slap!
The sound was very crisp.
"Ling Zhenfei, you heartless person. I was sincere to you. Why did you abandon me?"
Bai Ling shouted at Ling Zhenfei, seemingly very angry.
Yet, her anger left Ling Zhenfei feeling somewhat helpless. He left Bai Ling due to Su Wanlong and Su Wanhu's petition.
Su Wanlong and Su Wanhu knew Ling Zhenfei was not an ordinary person and feared Bai Ling might get hurt, leading to what happened next.
Ling Zhenfei tried calling Bai Ling once or twice, but Su Wanlong answered and gave him a thorough scolding, taking Bai Ling abroad for travel.
But all of this was in vain; Ling Zhenfei still missed Bai Ling, often thinking about her.
Surely Bai Ling felt the same way; one might never forget someone even after a long time. It might take a second to remember someone, but a lifetime to forget.
Ling Zhenfei knew it must have hurt Bai Ling, but it hurt him too.
So if she wanted to hit him, he would let her.
Bai Ling hit Ling Zhenfei a few more times before finally stopping.
"Why didn't you dodge?" Bai Ling said to Ling Zhenfei.
"If hitting me makes you feel a bit happier, then go ahead and hit me,"
Bai Ling said to Ling Zhenfei, "Do you know why I'm hitting you?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Do you need a reason to hit me? You can do it anytime you want."
"Don't give me your slick talk; look at yourself and explain, why did you say those things to me?"
Bai Ling's words left Ling Zhenfei puzzled, "What did I say?"
Bai Ling became angrier, "You dare not admit it after saying so many heartless things."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Rest assured, if I've said it, I'll definitely admit it, but I truly don't know what you mean, I think you haven't figured out the situation yet."
Bai Ling laughed, "What can't I figure out? You're so attractive to women, it's normal for you to chase me away."
Ling Zhenfei realized that Bai Ling still didn't know the real situation, leaving him conflicted about whether to tell her the truth.
Speaking the truth might betray Su Wanlong and Su Wanhu, making their efforts futile, but selfishly Ling Zhenfei wanted to restore his relationship with Bai Ling.
"Since we met again, it means our fate isn't yet broken. As you don't know the truth now, I'll tell you, but on the street, it's not quite appropriate. How about I treat you to dinner, and I'll tell you everything?"
"I can't eat!" Bai Ling was still a bit furious, clearly still upset.
Ling Zhenfei said helplessly, "How about I treat you to coffee instead?"
Bai Ling said, "Fine, let's see what you can say."
By chance, there was a coffee shop not far away, so Ling Zhenfei led Bai Ling in.
Once inside, they ordered two cups of coffee and sat opposite each other. Bai Ling, appearing slimmer during this time, remained as beautiful as ever, evoking many memories for Ling Zhenfei.
"Speak up, or do you need me to remind you?" Bai Ling said coldly.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Then I'll tell you everything."
Then Ling Zhenfei recounted the events that transpired, leaving nothing out, even mentioning the times he called Bai Ling.
As Bai Ling listened, her facial expression turned more surprised, seemingly finding it quite hard to believe.
