Chapter 23: Trouble Arrives

Tianqi and Gao Haisheng were astonished, their mouths agape. Although they were unaware of Ye Shuangshuang's actual condition, her reaction seemed to confirm what Ye Bufan had said.The ability to see...Ye Bufan hadn't paid attention to this bracelet before. Now, with his divine sense scanning it, he discovered that its material was truly made of granite, lacking any spiritual energy. Instead, there was a layer of gray aura within it, and prolonged exposure to this aura would be very harmful to the body.

Seeing Zhu Linlin was still somewhat unconvinced, Qin Chuchu picked up a spoon from the table and tapped it against her jade bracelet, producing a clear and pleasant sound.

"Actually, identifying this thing is simple. Knock on it and see what sound it makes. If the sound is clear and crisp, it's jade or emerald. If the sound is muffled, it's made of stone."

Zhu Linlin took off her bracelet and tapped it with a spoon, making a dull thudding sound, completely unlike Qin Chuchu's crisp and pleasant ringing.

"Ma Wenzhuo, you bastard!"

Once she confirmed that this was a harmful fake bracelet, Zhu Linlin angrily smashed it on the ground.

With a shattering crack, the bracelet broke into five pieces, revealing its unstained core. It was undeniably granite.

Qin Chuchu stepped forward again, pointing at her bag and said, "This thing, he wouldn't also think it's genuine and give it to you, right Let me tell you, this thing is just a counterfeit. You can find it on Taobao for dozens of yuan."

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! This is a limited edition bag brought back by his friend from abroad, it cost over 40,000, there's no way it's fake."

Zhu Lilin was on the verge of a breakdown. She had climbed onto Ma Wenbo's bed for that bracelet, and broken up with Ye Bufan for that bag. If all of this were fake, she would have truly lost her will to live.

"At a glance, I can tell you've never used an authentic bag before. Let me give you a free authentication right now," Qin Chuchu said, "Authentic bags have brand lettering where the circle is the smallest among the three rows of English letters, but yours is not small at all, it's even the biggest."

Look at the metal parts on the package again. The genuine metal parts are well-polished, with clear engravings and a moderate sheen. But yours looks like it's been plated, the lettering is unclear.

The most important thing is, this package of yours isn't even real, it's just low-grade dyed stuff.

She said as she took the half-cup of water that Ye Bufan had just left and splashed it on Zhu Linlin's bag. She then stretched out two fingers and wiped them, leaving a handprint of the magenta stain on the bag.

Even a fool now knows this bag is fake!

"Ah... you son of a bitch, I'm going to kill you!"

Zhu Lilin let out a desperate scream and then rushed out of the private room as if insane.

To give up a super diamond stock for two worthless fake items, anyone would be hard pressed to stomach such a blow.

Ye Bufan shook his head and said, "Why are you doing this"

If she hadn't been pierced through, Zhu Linlin would have still found some comfort in possessing these two fakes. Now even the last shred of solace in her heart was shattered.

Qin Chuchu laughed and said, "This woman actually kicked you for money. I want to make her clearly understand how stupid her actions are."

Ye Bufan said: "Let the past be the past. Thank you for helping me today."

Qin ChuChu looked at him with burning eyes and said, "How are you going to thank me You have to know that was my first kiss."

Ye Bufan said: "What then I'll give you my first kiss too"

Qin ChuChu's cheeks flushed a faint pink. For some reason, she had been thinking about this man all day, even at work, her mind was wandering.

Finally, she got off work. When she heard Zhu Lilin say that Ye Bufan didn't have a girlfriend, she immediately stood up without hesitation, as if she was very eager for this opportunity. She even offered her first kiss in her twenties without hesitation.

To conceal her shyness, she said, "What did you do for Dong Tian'da He actually gave you a wine house"

"His son was once infected with an unknown virus, and I saved him..."

Ye Bufan recounted what had happened at Jiangnan Hospital, "He wanted to thank me, so he gave me this teahouse as payment for my services."

Qin Chuchu said in surprise, “You have such good medical skills”

"Ye Bufan said: 'Under heaven, no one's medical skills surpass mine.'"

"Bragging."

Qin Chuchu clearly didn't believe it, and just then, Ye Bufan's phone rang. It was the director of the Health Bureau, Zhou Yongliang, calling.

He pressed the answer button and said, "Director Zhou, is there something"

On the phone, Zhou Yongliang said excitedly, "Doctor Ye, where are you I'd like to invite you out for dinner tonight"

To be honest with you, the health bureau handled the incident of elementary school students suddenly contracting a virus very effectively last time, and it did not cause any serious consequences or negative impacts.

I just received praise from above and was awarded a large sum of money.

"Never forget those who helped you dig the well. All of this is thanks to your efforts, I definitely have to thank you, great doctor."

“This is nothing, it's just what I do as a doctor,” said Ye Bufan. “But since Chief Zhou was commended, we should celebrate! I’m at the Zui Jiangnan Restaurant right now, come over.”

"Well, I'm not far from there, I'll be there soon."

After Zhou Yongliang finished speaking, he hung up the phone. At this time, a middle-aged man in his 40s, accompanied by several mid-level managers from the restaurant, came to the door of the private room.

A middle-aged man said, "Mr. Ye, hello, my name is Liu Kai. Mr. Dong asked me to come over and temporarily manage this restaurant on behalf of Zhang Daqing."

"Oh! That sounds like a lot of work."

Liu Kai appears to be shrewd and capable, and Ye Bufan is quite satisfied with Dong Tian'da's arrangement.

He had his own arrangements for this restaurant. His mother had been running her own steamed bun shop, which wasn't very profitable and was really hard work, going out in all kinds of weather.

Ouyang Lan is also a very ambitious person. Even though she has money now, it's unlikely that she would just relax. Now that she has this wine shop, it's perfect for her mother to come and enjoy herself.

However, it seems inappropriate for the mother to be the general manager. Liu Kai is merely a temporary arrangement. When a suitable candidate is found, he should be returned to Dong Tian da.

After the meeting, Liu Kai and his people took their places. The restaurant was running smoothly, without any chaos despite Zhang Daqing's departure.

Time was short, Zhou Yongliang rushed over. Ye Bufan introduced him to Qin Chuchu, and the three of them began to sit down and eat together.

The master chef at Zui Xian Lou is truly skilled, and the three of them enjoyed their meal very much.

After a while, Liu Kai suddenly rushed in from outside, looking anxious and saying, "Boss, something happened. A group of people claiming to be health inspectors suddenly came downstairs and said our restaurant's hygiene is unqualified. They are demanding we shut down for rectification now."

Ye Bufan frowned. He had just taken over the restaurant, and trouble came knocking right away. He immediately realized this had something to do with Ma Wenbo. Only he knew about this, and he also had a grudge against Ye Bufan.

Upon hearing Liu Kai's report, Zhou Yongliang's face flushed.

When the leader is eating, and his subordinates come to cause trouble, where does he put his face How can he eat anymore

He said, "Doctor Ye, leave this to me. I'll go take a look and see what's going on."

Ye Bufan said, "Let's go together."

After saying that, he followed Qin Chuchu and the other three people as they walked with Liu Kai towards the lobby on the ground floor. bumped into her with a loud thud.The waiter was a tall and burly young man, while Ouyang Lan was just a woman. Although she was prepared, she was still knocked to the ground by the impact.And that wa...
