Chapter 202: 202: Stick and Sweet Jujube_1



“This is…”

“Something to replenish qi and blood.”

Greg Jensen said with a low chuckle, “This isn’t like the virility stuff you see on the market, no side effects, no dependency, the only downside is you need to be vegetarian for a few days.”

“Vegetarian?”

Old Li looked at Greg Jensen with an understanding nod and whispered, “Are you saying no women can be touched?”

“Haha, Uncle Li is indeed a smart man, hit the nail right on the head.”

Greg Jensen gave a small compliment and lowered his voice, “Uncle Spencer told me about a time you two were drinking, and you specifically brought up kidney tonics with him.

He didn’t show much at the time but always kept it in mind.”

“I said that?”

“It was during a meal, both of you had quite a bit to drink, and it just came up, don’t you remember?”

“Uh, that must have been a long time ago.”

Old Li had a blank look and felt doubtful inside, given his personality, kidney deficiency was something he would absolutely never share.

But if he was drunk, then all bets were off.

Still, he had his doubts and frowned, “Would Craig Burley care about my affairs?”

Greg Jensen laughed, “Uncle Spencer is pretty blunt, but he has a good heart, don’t take it personally with him.

Not to offend you, but had Uncle Spencer not told me about your situation, this Elixir would never have reached your hands.”

Hearing this, Old Li couldn’t help but nod.

He and Craig Burley didn’t actually have any deep-seated hatred; it was just that Old Li had misspoken once and publicly embarrassed Craig Burley.

And being rather stubborn by nature and too lazy to apologize, that’s why their relationship had become so tense.

Even so, he couldn’t believe that Craig Burley would actually get medicine for him.

Craig Burley really thought about my issue?

Up to now, Old Li was still confused, but he understood one thing clearly – this Elixir was extremely rare and had miraculous effects on kidney deficiencies in middle-aged and the elderly.

Thinking this, he quickly took the Pill, smiling as he said, “Haha, then I won’t stand on ceremony, please thank Han Zhang for me.”

“We’re friends, saying thanks would be too formal.”

Seeing him accept the Elixir, Greg Jensen finally let out a sigh of relief and smiled, “After you get back, crush the Elixir, take one gram at a time with water, continue for seven days.

Don’t drink any alcohol in the meantime, and you must be vegetarian.”

“Got it, I will remember.”

An unexpected reward from a simple meal.

Old Li looked at the Elixir in his hand and smiled happily, finding Greg Jensen much more agreeable.

Thinking back on how he had just been mocking this young man, he felt a twinge of guilt. Opening his mouth, he said with difficulty,

“Greg, sometimes I speak inappropriately, don’t take it to heart.”

“Tsk, I’m your junior, you giving me a talking-to is totally normal.”

Old Li’s face reddened slightly, and he hesitated, “Greg, I really ought to do you a favor in return for such a big help, but regarding Pearl Walker’s issue, I really am powerless.”

“Haha, no worries, don’t fret about that.”

Greg Jensen said with a laugh, “Keep the Elixir safe, I’m heading back to the private room.”

“Hmm, I need to use the restroom, I’ll be right back.”

“Sure.”

Greg Jensen had guessed that if Pearl Walker dared to bypass Old Li and directly seize Dreamscape Garden, Old Li was probably unable to help.

So he didn’t mind, smiled, and nodded, watching Old Li enter the restroom.

A carrot and stick approach sure does the trick!

Because of Craig Burley, Old Li disliked Greg Jensen and if he hadn’t fought back, Old Li probably wouldn’t even have given him a second glance.

“`

But now, things are different.

He first took advantage of Old Li’s weakness by announcing it publicly, making Old Li feel uncomfortable—so next, by helping Old Li with this issue, Old Li would surely feel grateful.

That was exactly what Greg Jensen had in mind, which is why he decided to give it a try; unexpectedly, the result was astonishingly good.

Now, all that’s left is Director Wang. As long as I can get him on board, we won’t have to worry about the Health Bureau in the future.

Inside the private room, everyone was chatting pleasantly. Maybe the others hadn’t noticed, but Craig Burley had been paying close attention to Greg Jensen all along.

So, when Greg Jensen returned, Craig immediately looked at him with an inquiring gaze.

Greg Jensen smiled and shook his head, not saying anything, before joining the conversation.

Seeing this, Craig Burley didn’t ask further and began subtly steering the conversation towards Greg Jensen, trying to bring up the issue with Dreamscape Garden and get Director Wang to help sort it out.

However, Director Wang seemed uninterested in the matter, continually changing the subject.

Craig Burley frowned slightly and gave Greg Jensen a subtle shake of the head, signaling him to wait until after the meal.

Greg Jensen was somewhat disappointed; if he waited until after the meal, resolving the issue with Dreamscape Garden might be delayed by several days.

He took a careful look at Director Wang’s facial expressions, and a thought struck him. Seizing a moment when everyone else was talking, he smiled at Director Wang and said, “Uncle Wang, how have you been feeling recently?”

The room quickly fell silent.

All eyes turned to Greg Jensen in surprise, mockery, and disdain.

Asking a leader about his health in front of so many people was a serious faux pas, especially since the issue of “kidney deficiency” had just arisen, making it difficult not to think along those lines.

Could this guy be suggesting that Director Wang also has kidney deficiency?

Craig Burley’s heart skipped a beat; he hastily shook his head at Greg Jensen, indicating him not to say any more to avoid angering Director Wang and making it difficult to salvage the situation.

Spencer Burley was also somewhat puzzled. Strong Brother Greg, who was always mature and steady, what’s going on with him today?

Who asks about a leader’s health in front of so many people?

Indeed, Greg Jensen knew that discussing health matters with a leader in front of so many people wasn’t quite proper.

But he wasn’t familiar with Director Wang to begin with, and if he missed tonight, he didn’t know when he would have another chance to connect.

Moreover, resolving troubles takes time.

If he missed this opportunity, who knows how long it would take to resolve the issue.

Every day Dreamscape Garden is closed, it’s money not made. According to the principle of maximizing profits, not earning is the same as losing—how much money would that be?

Greg Jensen was worth millions, but he still felt the pinch of every penny lost.

The private room remained silent, everyone exchanging glances, shifting their gaze from Greg Jensen and finally onto Director Wang.

The latter appeared calm, closely inspecting his teacup as though he had suddenly taken an interest in the floating tea leaves inside.

With Director Wang not speaking, the atmosphere instantly became awkward.

At this moment, Old Li pushed the door and came in.

He wore a smile, seemingly in a good mood—a stark contrast to when he left.

Seeing everyone silent, Old Li was taken aback and joked, “What’s the matter? Are you waiting for me to give a speech?”

“Hehe…”

Greg Jensen let out a cooperative chuckle.

Old Li nodded with a smile and then turned to Craig Burley, saying, “Craig, thank you.”

“Ah?”

Craig Burley looked confused.

Why is he thanking me out of the blue?

He glanced at Old Li and then at Greg Jensen, quickly realizing it must have been something Greg Jensen told Old Li.

“No need to thank me.”

Even though he didn’t understand the specifics, Craig Burley still smiled and responded.

The quietness continued in the private room. Old Li, who had just returned from outside, felt a bit on edge, knowing that something he was unaware of must have happened.

Seeing the situation, Greg Jensen had no choice but to pluck up the courage and say, “Uncle Wang, I know it’s a bit inappropriate to say this now, but I’m concerned about delaying your health, so…”
