Perfect opponent
In the living room.
Zhuo's mother, in a great mood, had a rosy complexion and looked even younger. She sat beside Zhuo Huaxiong, glanced at the kitchen and said:
"Unexpectedly, this young Dr. Guo has such medical skills at a young age, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he has 'magical hands that bring people back to life'. Wife, what do you think we should do to thank him?"
"What is this?"
Zhuo Hua furrowed his brow, if Xiao Guo was just a doctor, it would be easy to say, just give him more money. But looking at the relationship between his daughter and him, they should be pretty good friends. If that's the case, giving money would be too formal, but this favor can't be left unrepaid, it's really a bit troublesome.
He hesitated for a moment and said:
"Let's see what Qing'er means!"
Zhuo Mu nodded, just about to say something, but felt that this occasion was a bit inappropriate, and ultimately didn't say anything.
Zhao Fengtu said on the side:
"This little Guo is really not an ordinary person, he just pressed a few times for me, and I feel that my whole body has relaxed, usually don't want to eat, today I'm actually hungry! Haha, right, old Shou Zhang, what do you think of this little Guo?"
He asked this question with ulterior motives, as the department he was in was a sensitive one. Guo Yao had stopped his illness from worsening, but at the same time, he also held his lifeblood in his own hands. If one day Guo Yao used this to blackmail him, what would he do?
"This young man knows when to advance and retreat, he's not showy, a pretty good young fellow. Although he's a bit sly, his character should be okay! Otherwise, Qing'er wouldn't have made friends with him!"
Zhao Fengtu secretly let out a sigh of relief, although he also felt that Guo Yi wouldn't be a bad person, but hearing it from the old leader's mouth made him feel more at ease!
Soon, the dishes were ready and everyone was in a good mood. The meal was harmonious, at least on the surface. Of course, there were also discordant scenes - Zhang Hongyan, sitting opposite Guo Yi, always "accidentally" stepped on Guo Yi's foot, and it was always the same foot!
Kuo Yi clenched his teeth and endured, expressionless, secretly calculating how to avenge himself. This meal was the most difficult for him to eat, as he had to guard against Zhang Hongyan's stealthy kicks while answering the intentional and unintentional questions of the crowd, which were mostly about where his family was from and where he learned medicine. Kuo Yi answered vaguely, seeming to be evasive.
After dinner, Zhuo's mother called Zhuo Wenqing aside and asked about the reward. Zhuo Wenqing smiled and said:
"What reward is it, and yet not for outsiders?"
Zhuo Mu was taken aback and looked at her daughter with a suspicious gaze, asking:
"What does it mean, isn't he an outsider? You won't be with him——"
"Mom, where are you thinking of going? How can I tell you that he's like a younger brother to me? I'm his older sister. It doesn't make sense for a younger brother to take money from an older sister."
"Brother? What kind of brother?"
"I'm telling you it's not clear, he's not my brother, he's a friend, okay?! Mom, don't interfere, don't worry about the payment!"
Zhuo Wenqing walked out of the room. Zhuo Mu asked about it, but the result was still unclear and she didn't understand what kind of relationship her daughter had with Guo Ye anymore!
After drinking the tea, Guo Yi stood up and bid farewell.
Not long after walking out of the door, Zhao Yifei followed behind and caught up, holding an envelope in his hand, saying:
"Guo big brother, this is your medical bill!"
Guo Yi glanced at the envelope, gritted his teeth and said with a wave of his hand:
"Never mind, it's no big deal, forget it!"
Actually, he mainly feels guilty about pushing the young woman. Another reason is that Zhao Fengtu is worried, he has grasped Zhao Fengtu's weakness, although he didn't do it on purpose, but objectively, it is indeed so!
He didn't know if Zhu Zihao would find him, nor did he know when he would find him. Accumulating a connection might just come in handy someday!
Guo Yi is not an ambitious person, but he won't wait for death either! Every time he thinks of Quan Qi, thinks of Zhu Zi Hao whom he has never met, a strange and unfamiliar anger rises in his heart.
Zhao Yifei didn't notice Guo Yi's expression, thinking that Guo Yi was dissatisfied with the amount, and said somewhat awkwardly:
"I know this money is a bit less for my dad's illness, but recently—"
Kuo Yixiao smiled and interrupted Zhao Yifei's words, saying:
"What are you talking about? It's good this way, your dad knows a lot of people, introduce me to a few more clients in the future and I'll be rolling in wealth! Consider this as payment for introducing clients!"
"Guo, you're really good at joking. With your medical skills, who needs an introduction? People are begging to see you! Besides, if it were my dad introducing patients, they'd be paying him a referral fee. What logic is there in making you pay? You have to take this money, otherwise my dad will definitely scold me!"
Guo Yi furrowed his brow and thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with a good reason to not take the money. Not taking it wasn't an option either - what kind of world was this?! He might as well just accept it, since he was short on cash himself! Guo Yi didn't bother being polite anymore, took the envelope without even looking at it, and casually stuffed it into his own pocket.
Zhao Yifei secretly let out a sigh of relief, he had been influenced by his surroundings and naturally knew about his father's worries. As long as the money was collected, it would be equivalent to repaying this favor to some extent. If this favor was owed, one day when Guo Yao came looking for him with something, he would be at a disadvantage!
Guo Yi looked at Zhao Yifei and thought, this young man is not old in age, but he handles things with maturity, without any of the arrogance or swagger of a spoiled rich kid. It's really rare! Thinking back to when I was in school, the village chief's son was so arrogant, but Zhao Yifei, with such a strong background, can call me, a commoner, "ge" (older brother), it's really rare!
Actually, Guo Yi didn't know that Zhao Yifei also had his own arrogance, but just hadn't had the chance to show it off yet. Moreover, in the eyes of Zhao Yifei and others, Guo Yi was no longer just an ordinary citizen!
"Brother, where are you going? I'll send you!"
Zhao Yifei suddenly called out "Ge"! Guo Ye looked at his watch and saw that it was already three o'clock, going to Qixian Town would be a bit late, so he decided to head back to the Cultural Market instead.
"Then trouble you!"
"Don't be polite!"
As soon as Guo Yi got into Zhao Yifei's car, he casually asked:
"Zhao Gongzi, do you know this person Zhu Zihao?"
Zhao Yifei gave Guo Yi a glance and said:
"Brother, just call me One Fly, I know something about Zhu Zihao! This person has a very deep foundation, his ancestors were wealthy merchants, his parents had both military and government backgrounds, and it's even said that he has connections to the upper echelons of the underworld! You could say he's uniquely positioned!"
"What's this person like?"
"He's a genius, a rare talent! Not only does he have two master's degrees in literature and science, but he is also proficient in three languages: English, Japanese, and German. He can play the piano, and is skilled in both Taekwondo and Judo, making him a true Renaissance man. And to top it all off, he's incredibly handsome - one could say that he's the idol and pride of all the young masters and second-generation heirs!"
Is this guy still human?
Kuo Yi thought of Quan Qi being subdued by himself and still having a look of infatuation when mentioning Zhu Zi Hao! He couldn't help but say:
"Rich and handsome at a young age, elegant and refined, able to effortlessly navigate both black and white worlds - isn't this the legendary ladies' man?"
Zhao Yifei smiled slyly:
"The girl killer is good, but he's not just a girl killer, and the young women he's pushed onto the bed are also numerous!"
Is there such a perfect person in the world? Guo Yi thought maliciously, this Zhu Zihao is either a small JJ like an earthworm or a quick shooter, otherwise God would be jealous of such perfect conditions!
Kuo Yeh came out of his trance and suddenly asked:
"You know him well, you recognize him!"
Zhao Yifei shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"No, his social circle consists of high-ranking officials' children with extremely deep backgrounds. I don't even qualify to enter his circle!"
Guo Yi was secretly shocked. A circle that the son of a deputy director of the Public Security Bureau wasn't qualified to enter must be a formidable one! The young masters themselves aren't scary, what's scary is their influence. In this society where helping relatives but not reason has become fashionable, once these young masters join forces, their energy would be quite terrifying.
Just thinking about possibly being an enemy with such a person, Guo Yi got a headache! Damn it, he's alone and has to deal with this spoiled rich kid who's been pampered by everyone, it's just too unfair!
However, over the years, Guo Yi also understood a truth - this world is inherently unfair. You have the ability to step on people and you can choose not to! But when you don't have the ability, you can only be stepped on! Since it's unavoidable, then screw it, bring it on!
Kuo suddenly felt a surge of heroic passion in his heart - Ah, what a worthy opponent!
Zhao Yifei took a glance at Guo Yi's face and asked cautiously:
"Brother, why are you so interested in Zhu Zihao!"
Guo Ye didn't answer, but instead asked back:
"Just now you said he was the idol and pride of the aristocracy, what about you? Do you want to become someone like him? Or do you want to enter his circle?"
Zhao Yifei's handsome face drew a smile, and he said calmly:
"I also have my own circle and I'm a naturally lazy person who doesn't have much ambition, so..."
His words were left unfinished, but Guo Yi understood! He patted Zhao Yifei's shoulder and said:
"Yifei, you are different from what I imagined a high-ranking official's son to be!"
Zhao Yifei was delighted, but if he knew that the high-ranking official's son in Guo Yao's mind, apart from Zhu Zihao just mentioned, was only the son of the village head of his hometown, he would probably not be able to laugh anymore!
Apart from these few people, Guo Yi really hadn't had any dealings with so-called high-ranking officials' children. During school days, everyone was in their own circle and the friends who were on good terms with him were all commoners' children. After graduation, they didn't have much contact anymore. Of course, Feng Jun, who used to rent a house together, was an exception!
As they passed by a hut, Guo suddenly discovered that there was a group of people fighting inside!
Zhao Yifei was also a very curious person, he stepped on the brakes and stopped at the entrance of the alley, curiously looking inside. Guo Yao, who wasn't interested in fighting, said:
"I'm so fed up with these brainless people, what era is this, still resorting to violence..."
He suddenly saw a bald head, rushing in and out of the crowd, incredibly fierce!
"One smile is worth ten miles!"
"Guo, big brother, do you know these people?"
"Not only do I know him, but he's also very familiar. I reckon this guy is fighting with someone over territory again. Never mind him, let's go!"
Zhao Yifei looked back reluctantly and was about to start when Guo Yao suddenly shouted:
Wait
Before he had finished speaking, Guo Yao leapt down from the carriage and pounced on him!
