At that time, Mr. Li Li's four-foot painting could sell for hundreds of thousands. Now, the value of these two paintings is simply immeasurable, especially that ink bamboo painting. With such a large size, it's practically priceless.

The most important thing is that Old Master Qiu came. Initially, some people questioned Ling Zhenfei's medical arts, but Ling Zhenfei used a candied hawthorn stick as a silver needle on the train to save Old Master Qiu's life.

Old Master Qiu would never lie. When he was an editor-in-chief, he scolded all kinds of people. People said that journalists were only honest back then.

As an editor-in-chief, I greatly admire Old Master Qiu. Unlike today's journalists who write anything and blacken anyone for a bit of money, they don't care about right or wrong, which I find shameful.

Xi Shan Restaurant is already open; this is real-time info. However, I don't know how the business is going, as it's not yet mealtime, so we don't know. Let's wait and see who else arrives.

The key point is whether anyone will enter Xi Shan Restaurant for lunch. Our live broadcast continues. This is Brother Xiao Sa.

Ling Zhenfei led Old Master Qiu and Qiu Qian inside. It was the first time they entered Xi Shan Restaurant, and Qiu Qian was surprised by the high standards inside.

Big Brother Ling, the decor of your restaurant is too luxurious. I've been to so many restaurants, but this one's style makes me feel the most comfortable.

Qiu Qian made no efforts to hide her praise for Xi Shan Restaurant. Also, since she saw Ling Zhenfei, her eyes never left him. After not seeing him for such a long time, she indeed wanted to look more.

As long as you like it. If you're in Binyang, feel free to come often. I can't promise much, but I can promise you meals.

Qiu Qian laughed: "You said it, so be careful I don't eat you broke."

They all laughed together, but before they got far inside, another car pulled up at the entrance.

Old Master Qiu, being well-versed in social etiquette, quickly said, "Zhenfei, don't worry about us. Go greet them; we'll look around ourselves."

Sorry about this, Old Master Qiu. Take your time, and we'll continue chatting once I'm done.

Ling Zhenfei hurried back to the door. It turned out someone had come to deliver gifts. The gift-giver was Zhou Xia, who had already said she prepared a big gift for Ling Zhenfei.

However, this gift was very special. It was a flowerpot, but when Ling Zhenfei saw it, he was shocked because it was a Heavenly Heart Gentleman Orchid.

Most people might not know this, but there are many types of Gentleman Orchids, each with its unique features. However, the Heavenly Heart Gentleman Orchid is the emperor among them.

Not only is it beautiful, but it's also extremely rare and difficult to breed. Breeding one requires luck and care, yet even so, it's still very rare.

Zhou Xia and Feng Li are both government officials and can't give overly expensive gifts. Feng Li's plaque is valuable for its inscription.

Zhou Xia's Heavenly Heart Gentleman Orchid, though rare, wouldn't make people think she's corrupt. She probably felt some pain giving it away.

Zhou Jian loves flowers, paintings, and calligraphy. When he saw the Heavenly Heart Gentleman Orchid, his eyes lit up, and his hands even trembled a bit.

A Heavenly Heart Gentleman Orchid! You might not see one in decades. Today, I've seen a living one.

After sending off this batch of people, more cars stopped at the entrance. This time, the visitor was Binyang Hospital's director Chen Dafu.

Even if no one else came, Chen Dafu would definitely come. Their friendship was already good, and most importantly, Ling Zhenfei had helped Binyang Hospital a lot.

That Binyang Hospital could stand out in Binyang is directly related to Ling Zhenfei's influence.

It's thanks to Ling Zhenfei's relentless promotion and his position as Binyang Hospital's honorary professor that it garnered so much attention.

Chen Dafu was straightforward, coming straight with money to settle accounts at the door, then chatting briefly with Ling Zhenfei, but the real purpose was to let the surrounding media see.

Binyang Hospital's director came. Didn't they say the vegetables here are radioactive? Even the hospital director came to eat.

A waiter led Chen Dafu inside, and people continued to arrive. Some were just delivering gifts, and some came personally.

Like Jiu Jiu's parents, Shi Wen and Lin Fang, who run a restaurant themselves, came with a learning attitude, both arriving in person.

They now know Ling Zhenfei's true identity. They know their daughter and Ling Zhenfei are a couple and that he is the owner and person in charge of Xishan Manor.

Initially, when they first met Ling Zhenfei, they looked down on him. Now seeing him, they were extremely polite, to say the least.

If not for Jiu Jiu stopping them, Shi Wen and Lin Fang would have probably chatted endlessly with Ling Zhenfei.

Following them was Chu San with his daughter Chu Yu. Chu San recently won the national jade carving competition, now famous throughout the country. He was recognized immediately upon arrival, with camera flashes everywhere.

It was surprising to many that Ling Zhenfei was so familiar with Chu San; it seemed unbelievable.

More people followed, including frequent collaborator Lu Renben, Green Apple Restaurant's Sun Wen, and Zheng Tingting and her father from the provincial city.

What surprised Ling Zhenfei the most was the arrival of Chu He, Zhang Kang, and Li Ru from the capital city.

The three were extremely busy but managed to find time to come together, showing how much they valued Ling Zhenfei.

Seeing Li Ru again, Ling Zhenfei had mixed emotions. Li Ru looked at Ling Zhenfei differently too. They had experienced too much, things Chu He and Zhang Kang knew nothing about.

But since there were too many people around, Li Ru just greeted Ling Zhenfei and walked inside together.

Lin Yi also came, along with several fan club presidents. They came to bolster Ling Zhenfei's presence and also brought various small gifts from fans.

There were so many visitors; it was bustling. But as it approached eleven o'clock, nearing lunch hour, having friends over wasn't enough.

Friends came for Ling Zhenfei's sake, not necessarily to spend money at Xi Shan Restaurant. Relying only on friends wouldn't sustain Xi Shan Restaurant.

Though Ling Zhenfei showed no concern on his face, he was a bit anxious deep down, wondering how to get others to dine here.

Suddenly, a few cars arrived from a distance. The lead cars cleared the way, protecting a central car with its hazard lights on, slowly approaching Xi Shan Restaurant's entrance.
