Chapter 163 - I Don't Have Time
Chapter 163 of "City's Best Divine Doctor" starts the action: Zhou Lili thought that even if Ye Qiu was young and impetuous, he wouldnât deliberately... Find out what happens!
Zhou Lili thought that even if Ye Qiu was young and impetuous, he wouldnât deliberately cause trouble in the western restaurant, especially not while with his girlfriend.
âGet your manager over here!â
Zhou Lili didnât say much, she directly asked the female server to call the restaurant manager over.
The restaurant managerâs name was Lu Hao; he was a man in his thirties wearing glasses, and he naturally recognized Zhou Lili.
He was reading in his office, and under normal circumstances, he didnât need to go out to handle matters unless there was a special situation.
Upon hearing that Miss Zhou, the second daughter of the Zhou Family, was looking for him, Lu Hao emerged from his office.
Zhou Lili and her husband often came here to dine, so Lu Hao had long known Zhou Lili.
Seeing Zhou Lili, he greeted her with a smile and said, âGeneral Manager Zhou, youâve come to patronize our restaurant again, welcome, welcome.â
Despite Lu Haoâs smiling face, Zhou Lili said, âManager Lu, my friend here encountered some unpleasantness, and Iâd like to know whatâs going on?â
The two female servers were stunned and bewildered; they had never imagined the ordinarily dressed Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu were friends of the Zhou Familyâs second daughter.
The two female servers were somewhat afraid, and when they saw the managerâs gaze, one of them said, âHe just deliberately broke a vase on the table.â
Lu Hao also turned his gaze to the ordinarily dressed Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu.
Did he know what was happening?
âGeneral Manager Zhou, this could be a misunderstanding.â
Lu Hao said.
Ye Qiu didnât want to say much either; he directly said, âThe service attitude here is awful.
I donât understand why this place is so popular?â
Lu Hao felt very embarrassed, and both Zhou Lili and Zhou Wenting had different expressions.
Seeing Ye Qiuâs ordinary attire and the atmosphere upon entering, Zhou Lili understood the situation.
However, the western restaurant was indeed at fault first.
Ye Qiu might be dressed plainly, but he certainly had the money to dine here.
Moreover, his attire was only ordinary without being inappropriately revealing.
âYe Qiu, letâs go somewhere else to eat.â
Zhou Wenting said.
She had lived abroad for so long that she was used to the differences between life overseas and at home, and she didnât particularly like it here.
Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu also didnât plan to stay any longer.
He took out several hundred yuan, tossed it on the table as compensation for the vase, and walked out with Liu Lingxiu.
Lu Hao knew that this time he had certainly offended another wealthy individual.
Lu Hao knew Zhou Lili was the general manager of Zhou Dabao Jewelry Group and had wanted to purchase some jewelry from her.
He hadnât expected things to turn out this way.
As Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu were leaving, Zhou Lili and Zhou Wenting followed them out.
Lu Hao followed behind Zhou Lili, continuously apologizing, but Zhou Lili paid no attention.
This time, it was the western restaurant that owed Ye Qiu an apology.
Lu Hao still couldnât figure out the relationship between the young man and the Zhou Familyâs second daughter.
When they went outside, the security guard, seeing Zhou Lili, bent over and nodded in an obsequious manner, leading Zhou Lili and Zhou Wenting to her BMW.
Ye Qiuâs electric bike had been pushed to the side, but it hadnât been discarded.
After unlocking it, Ye Qiu got on with Liu Lingxiu.
Zhou Lili looked at Ye Qiu and said, âYe Qiu, what would you like to eat?
Iâll take you there.â
Because of the incident at the western restaurant, neither Ye Qiu nor Liu Lingxiu had much of an appetite.
âAnything is fine.â
Ye Qiu said.
Zhou Lili knew that Ye Qiu had lost his appetite because of what had just happened.
âI know a pretty good place.â
Zhou Lili wanted Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu to get into her BMW, but Ye Qiu felt it wasnât necessary.
Besides, it was summer, and the night was still hot, so riding the electric bike was comfortable.
Zhou Lili drove ahead, and Ye Qiu followed behind on the electric bike.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Zhou Wenting looked at Ye Qiu through the rearview mirror as he followed on the electric bike.
Zhou Lili led Ye Qiu to a place called Nanhu Manor to eat.
The food here was tastier than that of five-star hotels.
Zhou Lili and her husband, as well as business partners, often came to dine here.
After driving to the parking lot of Nanhu Manor, Zhou Lili parked her car first and then asked Ye Qiu to park his electric bike next to her car, instructing the security guard to keep an eye on it.
From the outside, this lakeside and mountain-flanked Nanhu Manor looked quite impressive, much better than the restaurant Ye Qiu had taken over, and the numerous cars indicated its thriving business.
Zhou Lili and Zhou Wenting walked ahead while Liu Lingxiu held Ye Qiuâs hand, following behind.
Once inside, Zhou Lili asked a female server to lead them to a private room.
When they reached a quiet and elegant private room, Ye Qiu noticed the dĂŠcor was quite nice, with a touch of classic Chinese style.
âWhat kind of food is served here?â
Ye Qiu asked.
âAuthentic Jiangnan cuisine.
My husband and I have dined here many times.â
When the female server brought the menu, Zhou Lili handed it to Ye Qiu.
He glanced at it and realized it indeed featured genuine Jiangnan dishes.
However, Ye Qiu had never tried them before.
Ye Qiu let Zhou Lili order the dishes.
After Zhou Lili finished ordering, Ye Qiu asked, âHow are your parentsâ illnesses?â
âDr.
Ye, you truly are a divine doctor.
My parents have almost fully recovered now.
Especially my dad, who looks quite healthy with a rosy complexion.
My momâs previous symptoms have entirely disappeared.â
Zhou Lili said.
Seeing Zhou Wenting sneak a glance at him, Ye Qiu asked, âMiss Zhou, is there something you want to ask?â
âDr.
Ye, Iâm also a medical student, specializing in internal medicine.
However, Iâm not very skilled.
If you have some time, I would like to discuss your medical expertise with you as Iâm very interested.â
âBut I donât have time.â
Ye Qiu naturally knew Zhou Wenting was interested in his medical skills, but he couldnât reveal them.
Even though he had a close relationship with Liu Lingxiu, he hadnât divulged his secrets, so he certainly wouldnât share them with Miss Zhou.
Feeling a bit upset, Zhou Wenting asked, âWhen will you have time then?â
âI donât know yet.â
Hearing Ye Qiuâs response, Zhou Wenting knew he didnât want to talk to her.
As the atmosphere became somewhat awkward, Liu Lingxiu, sitting next to Ye Qiu, said, âMiss Zhou, Ye Qiu really doesnât have time these days because the college entrance exams are coming up soon, and tomorrow he has to take the provincial mock exams.â
