Chapter 47: A Citywide Search for the Savior! The Slap in the Face Begins!
Now that Academician Chen is hospitalized, Cheng Zijun's most important task is to find out which hospital Academician Chen is in and then visit him in person.
Only in this way can Academician Chen see the sincerity of the Cheng Group.
The secretary shook his head, his face full of helplessness. "Academician Chen has done a very good job of keeping things confidential. We haven't found anything yet."
Cheng Zijun narrowed his eyes. "That's fine too."
Even he couldn't find out which hospital Academician Chen was staying at, let alone Jiang Ning.
**
Grandpa Jiang is a man of his word. After getting off work in the evening, he took his colleagues to Fuding Restaurant for dinner and sent Jiang Ning a WeChat message.
Jiang Ning naturally couldn't be absent from such an occasion.
After all, Jiang Ning is the main character today.
After parting ways with Wang Shengli, Jiang Ning went directly to Fuding Restaurant.
Grandpa Jiang handed the menu to Jiang Ning, saying, "Ning, Grandpa doesn't know much about this. You order, and order more. Grandpa is in a good mood today, so money isn't an issue."
Jiang Ning nodded, "Okay, Grandpa."
15 people in total.
Jiang Ning ordered 8 cold dishes, 18 hot dishes, 1 soup, 2 staple foods, and 4 bottles of wine costing over 1,000 yuan.
Grandpa Jiang's colleagues were all true working people with big appetites, so they never had to worry about not being able to finish their food.
At the dinner table, Zhou Jinpeng sat next to Grandpa Jiang, took out a stack of cash, and looked at Jiang Ning with a smile, "Ningning, I underestimated you, girl. Grandpa Zhou is a man of his word. Here is ten thousand yuan. Keep it safe."
Upon hearing this, the others nearby became curious about what was going on.
Zhou Jinpeng then brought up the gentleman's agreement that the two of them had made.
At the time, Zhou Jinpeng was just saying it casually.
But today, he paid the money willingly.
Jiang Ning smiled and put the 10,000 yuan in cash back in front of Zhou Jinpeng. "Grandpa Zhou, I appreciate your willingness to accept the loss, but I won't take the money."
Grandpa Jiang nodded in agreement, "It was just a joke, how could I really take your money?"
Zhou Jinpeng's money didn't come easily either.
"What do you mean 'joking'? Ningning and I made a gentleman's agreement! Ningning earned this money through her own hard work." With that, Zhou Jinpeng sternly pushed the money in front of Jiang Ning. "Ningning, if you don't accept this money today, I won't consider your Grandpa Zhou a gentleman. You're disrespecting your Grandpa Zhou!"
"Then I don't need to eat this meal anymore."
After saying that, Zhou Jinpeng made a move to leave.
Jiang Ning quickly grabbed him, "Grandpa Zhou, don't go, I'll take the money, okay?"
The old man insisted on giving it to her, so Jiang Ning had no choice but to accept it for the time being.
Seeing that Jiang Ning accepted the money, Zhou Jinpeng smiled and said, "That's more like it."
Just then, almost all the dishes were served.
Everyone sat down to eat.
Jiang Ning very politely offered toasts to everyone. She didn't just offer a perfunctory toast to a whole group at once; instead, she held her drink glass and toasted each person individually, addressing them respectfully as "Grandpa Wang," "Grandma Zhao," and so on.
Humble and polite.
When offering a toast, Jiang Ning pays great attention to etiquette; her glass is always slightly lower than the other person's glass.
This is a unique drinking culture in China.
Everyone present was an elderly person, and they all noticed these small details, so they had a very good impression of Jiang Ning.
This child not only excels academically and is beautiful, but also has impeccable manners and conduct. Moreover, she is not arrogant or conceited, and she is destined for greatness!
After this dinner, Jiang Ning's name became a model for everyone in educating their children.
Jiang Ning naturally became the "other people's child" that parents always talked about.

A thrilling game.
Vice President Ma brought the documents to Wang Shengli's office.
Wang Shengli was talking to a young woman about the spokesperson when Vice President Ma smiled and said, "How did it go, Chairman Wang? You and Xin Yue went to talk to Academician Chen about the spokesperson today. How did it go?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xinyue sighed, "Uncle, please don't mention it! Today, Uncle Wang and I went to see Academician Chen, but we didn't even get to see him."
Vice President Ma was taken aback.
We didn't even get to meet?
How could this be?
Zhao Xinyue is Vice President Ma's niece.
Because Academician Chen had been Zhao Xinyue's mentor during her doctoral studies, and Zhao Xinyue was also one of his outstanding students, Vice President Ma recommended Zhao Xinyue to Wang Shengli after learning that Wang Shengli had failed to meet Academician Chen on two separate visits.
Vice President Ma thought that with his niece involved, the cooperation was definitely secure.
did not expect.
This Academician Chen doesn't even give face to Zhao Xinyue, an outstanding student.
Sure enough, this master's personality was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like them.
"Xin Yue, you're not kidding me, are you?" Vice President Ma looked at Zhao Xin Yue, somewhat doubting whether his niece was lying to him.
Zhao Xinyue shook her head. "I'm not kidding. When Uncle Wang and I went there, we only saw Academician Chen's assistant."
"Didn't you mention that you were Academician Chen's outstanding student?" Vice President Ma asked.
"I told them," Zhao Xinyue said, looking distressed, "but they just wouldn't buy it."
In fact, even Zhao Xinyue herself was surprised by this.
When Mingming was pursuing her doctorate, Academician Chen greatly admired her as a student. Little did he expect that less than two years after graduation, things would have changed so drastically.
Now she can't even see Academician Chen anymore.
Zhao Xinyue felt a bit down.
Zhao Xinyue looked at Wang Shengli and then said, "Uncle Wang, why don't you consider changing the spokesperson?"
We can't just keep going down a dead-end road.
Vice President Ma nodded. "Chairman Wang, Xin Yue is right. Academician Chen is avoiding us now, so there's no point in us persisting. Actually, as long as the game content is good and has substance, we can become a hit no matter who the spokesperson is."
Wang Shengli shook his head. "No, we can't think about changing the spokesperson yet."
After all, Academician Chen is the best spokesperson.
Wang Shengli doesn't want to consider changing his spokesperson until the very last step.
Just then, Zhao Xinyue seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, Uncle Wang, when you went to the restroom, I overheard something from Academician Chen's assistant."
"What is it?" Wang Shengli and Vice President Ma immediately looked at Zhao Xinyue.
Zhao Xinyue said, "A junior of mine said that Academician Chen is currently unwell and hospitalized. She also said that Academician Chen is looking for a savior! She said that Academician Chen suffered a sudden heart attack and his condition was extremely critical. The ambulance was stuck on the overpass. If it weren't for that savior appearing in time, Academician Chen might not be here anymore. So, Academician Chen is very grateful to that savior."
Savior?
Wang Shengli asked, "What's the name of that savior?"
If they can help find the person who saved their life, they might be able to meet Academician Chen.
"I don't know her exact name, I think it was either Jiang or Zhang, I didn't ask clearly." Zhao Xinyue felt that this matter had nothing to do with her, so she didn't ask any further questions.
Wang Shengli looked at Zhao Xinyue, "Xinyue, then I'd like to ask her again for me. You must find out the truth about this matter!"
This may be their only chance to compete with the Cheng Group.
If we seize this opportunity, the collaboration could very well be exciting.
Zhao Xinyue also saw through Wang Shengli's thoughts, "So, Uncle Wang, you want to see Academician Chen through his savior?"
"Yes." Wang Shengli did not hide anything.
Zhao Xinyue nodded, "Okay, then I'll go make another trip."

Cheng's Group.
Lin Yuze stood in front of the desk. "Brother Zijun, I heard that Jidong is also looking for Academician Chen's savior. What do you think we should do if they find him before us?"
Cheng Zijun's lips curled slightly. "Those idiots from Jidong don't even know if Academician Chen's savior's surname is Jiang or Zhang, yet they want to find Academician Chen's savior? It's laughable!"
At this point, Cheng Zijun sat up straight and continued, "Although we have already obtained specific information about Academician Chen's savior, we cannot slack off. We must find this savior before the Chen family does."
Only in this way will Academician Chen be grateful to him.
That's why I feel indebted to him.
This time, he absolutely cannot lose to Jiang Ning again!
Losing again to palpitations.
Lin Yuze picked up the document on the table and looked at the description of the savior. The more he read, the more something seemed off. He frowned and said, "Her surname is Jiang, and she's very beautiful, about seventeen or eighteen years old. Brother Zijun, why do I feel like this description sounds so much like Jiang Ning? Could Academician Chen's savior be Jiang Ning?"
Lin Yuze met Jiang Ning after her divorce.
I also know that she has undergone a complete transformation.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zijun seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. "You mean that little village girl? Absolutely impossible! Academician Chen's savior knows medicine and is a descendant of ancient medical practitioners. Do you really think just anyone can become a descendant of ancient medical practitioners and be Academician Chen's savior?"
