This voice indeed carried authority, and when he intervened, Fatty could only grunt and step aside.

Inside the house, Ling Zhenfei heard every word from outside clearly and wondered who the stranger was that seemed to have some sway over Fatty.

Curious, he decided not to keep his guest waiting any longer and pushed the door open to step outside.

"Ah, Boss, you're finally awake! We've been waiting for a long time!"

Fatty was delighted to see Ling Zhenfei come out but continued to blabber as if letting off steam.

Ling Zhenfei couldn't be bothered with him and turned to the middle-aged man standing beside Fatty, who was almost as heavy as Fatty, and asked with a puzzled face, "And this is…?"

"Boss, let me introduce you."

Upon hearing this, Fatty immediately introduced them with a beaming smile, "Boss, this is my second uncle, Lu Renben, a well-known aquatic produce entrepreneur in Binyang City. Besides his aquaculture business, he also runs several hotels in the city. My restaurant was started with his help."

Fatty enthusiastically introduced the middle-aged man, Lu Renben, and then proudly pointed to Ling Zhenfei and said to Lu, "Second Uncle, this is my boss, Ling Zhenfei. Those green, environmentally-friendly vegetables in our restaurant come from him."

"Hello, Young Master Ling, I've long heard of your great reputation, and it's as impressive as thunder. Seeing you today, it really lives up to the name!"

Lu Renben hurried forward before Fatty could finish the introduction, grasping Ling Zhenfei's hand tightly.

His obsequious demeanor, with brows squeezed together and small bean-like eyes squinting, seemed almost to worship Ling Zhenfei like the God of Wealth.

"Hello, President Lu…" Although Ling Zhenfei was still unclear about his intentions, he knew he needed to be polite with guests and reached out for a handshake.

"Young Master Ling, actually, our purpose here is quite clear, and I'm sure you're already aware of it," Lu said after the formalities, speaking earnestly, "Mr. Ling, I've tasted the vegetables you supply to De Shui restaurant, and they're truly exceptional!

I'm here to propose a long-term supply contract; all the restaurants under my name will source produce from you. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Zhenfei finally understood. It turned out Fatty had brought him a major client!

The farm was currently under development, and all sorts of vegetables were being planted. Ling Zhenfei had been planning to promote his products in the city when he had the chance, so naturally, he was thrilled that a customer had sought him out.

"Great, President Lu, since you're interested in collaborating, I certainly have no objections," Ling Zhenfei readily agreed to Lu Renben's proposal without a second thought.

"Really? I always knew you were a decisive man, Young Master Ling; this is wonderful… I believe our cooperation will be very pleasant…"

Lu Renben was overjoyed at Ling Zhenfei's agreement and his face filled with an excited smile, ready to shake hands with Ling Zhenfei again. But just as he stretched out his hand, he felt a sudden dizziness, heavy breathing, and his complexion instantly turned pale, nearly causing him to lose his balance.

"Second Uncle, what's wrong with you? Is it your high blood pressure acting up again? Do you have your medication?"

Lu Renben's abnormal behavior startled both Ling Zhenfei and Zhou Yun. Fatty quickly steadied his uncle, looking around anxiously for the blood pressure medication, but to no avail.

"Boss, I'm really sorry, my uncle's old problem is acting up again, and I'm going to take him to the hospital now. We can talk next time,"

Seeing Lu Renben's poor complexion, Fatty didn't hesitate, ready to support Lu Renben to leave, but then he heard Ling Zhenfei stopping him from behind.

Ling Zhenfei had Fatty help Lu Renben to a chair and sit down, and after feeling his pulse, he pondered for a moment and then said to Zhou Yun, "Sister-in-law, use tea leaves, chrysanthemums, and hawthorn in a cup and brew it. Bring it for President Lu to drink."

"Uh, oh, okay, right away."

Although Zhou Yun did not understand Ling Zhenfei's intentions, seeing Lu Renben's condition was indeed not good, she didn't ask any questions and hurriedly brought over a steaming cup of chrysanthemum hawthorn tea as instructed by Ling Zhenfei.

After the tea cooled down a bit, Ling Zhenfei supported Lu Renben, letting him slowly drink it.

"Boss, you, this is..."

Fatty was anxious like an ant on a hot pan for not bringing the blood pressure medicine, and was puzzled to see Ling Zhenfei's actions.

"Your uncle has primary hypertension. Although Western medicine can be effective, it is difficult to cure the root cause. Furthermore, 'all drugs have a degree of toxicity', and relying on medication to lower blood pressure over the long term has significant negative effects."

Ling Zhenfei slowly fed the hot tea to Lu Renben and glanced at Fatty, saying, "Although chrysanthemum hawthorn tea is not a medicine, it has a miraculous effect on lowering blood pressure, and it has no side effects. If he drinks it daily like tea, your uncle's blood pressure will definitely come down."

"Boss, this tea... is it really that miraculous?"

Fatty looked at the chrysanthemum hawthorn tea in the glass with skepticism, finding it hard to believe that such a simple cup of tea could have such amazing effects.

He certainly knew that his uncle had taken lots of medication and spent a lot of money trying to lower his blood pressure, but to no significant avail.

However, just as Fatty finished asking his question, he saw Lu Renben not only regain consciousness but also display a rosy complexion and a spirit that seemed even better than when he had arrived. Fatty was stunned.

"Uncle, how do you feel?" Fatty stepped forward, wanting to support Lu Renben, but Lu Renben pushed his hand away, smiling and saying, "It's okay, I'm feeling much better now."

Having said that, Lu Renben stood up on his own and gave Ling Zhenfei a look of immense admiration, "Wow, I never imagined, Young Master Ling, that you are also a Divine Doctor! This cup of tea is even more comfortable than antihypertensive drugs. I've decided. I'll try to take less medication from now on and drink chrysanthemum hawthorn tea every day."

"President Lu, chrysanthemums, hawthorns, and tea leaves are all very effective at lowering blood pressure. If you drink this daily, I guarantee that within three months, your hypertension won't flare up,"

Ling Zhenfei nodded and then added, "President Lu, our farm's vegetable planting base is currently under construction. Since you two are here, why not let me accompany you to the site to take a look!"

"Uh, that's great. I also wanted to see for myself what kind of environment produces such delicious vegetables."

Receiving Ling Zhenfei's invitation, Lu Renben was as delighted as a child, clapping his hands in approval.

Consequently, Ling Zhenfei asked his sister-in-law to prepare lunch at home, and he himself led Lu Renben and Fatty to the under-construction Xi Shan Farm.

Upon arriving at the farm, they saw the operation room had been completed, and the underground drip irrigation system was also properly arranged. Li Ermeng was directing farm workers to construct the vegetable greenhouses and was bustling about cheerfully.
