"Uh, sure, thank you, Miss Xiang. It's almost noon, shall we find a place and I'll treat you to lunch?"
Zhizhong was genuinely grateful.
"Don't thank me. I just don't want to lose face in front of Feng Jianren! Come on, I'll treat you..."
"Uh..." Zhizhong was at a loss for words and brought up Feng Xiaoyue again, "How could that be? I should be the one treating you since I'm the one asking for your help..."
"Let's not fuss over formalities. Feng Xiaoyue's people have come to me, it's only right that I play the host and not give her the satisfaction of seeing me fail to live up to expectations. I refuse to lose face in front of that woman!"
Zhizhong could only smile helplessly. These two were truly natural enemies, even their quarrels were uniquely stylish. So, he let it go.
He then added, "Then I'll have to trouble you. But what about the hospital? Have you found any news?"
"That's a bit more troublesome. The garment factory no longer exists, and the boss is nowhere to be found. The only people who knew Zhang Huazhi are the boss and the workers who had worked there, which will take time to look into. Moreover, the landlord of the house Zhang Huazhi rented has been dead for years. Now, his son has rented the house out again. The key issue is his son was studying abroad and only came back after Zhang Huazhi had been dead for several years, so that's a dead end. Over here in Rong City, the medical industry has always been booming. Back then, there were probably around sixty small and large hospitals, now there are over two hundred. The difficulty of this search is quite significant."
"Uh... yes, the difficulty is significant. But, I've always heard, hehe..." Zhizhong started to laugh without finishing his sentence.
It seemed like Xiang Wenxin knew what he was about to say and interjected, "What's so funny? Isn't it just that Rong City is also known as the capital of obstetrics? People all over the country come here for surrogacy and such."
"Yeah, that's true, hehe..." Zhizhong laughed again, "But in recent years, it seems that the black market for kidneys here has been quite serious! The foreign forces that were cracked down last year, their backers were all from here, right?"
"Yeah, they were from here. Let's not talk about that anymore, we've arrived."
Saying this, Xiang Wenxin turned the steering wheel and stopped at a Seaside Chaozhou restaurant known for its authentic flavors.
Of course, it was truly Xiang Wenxin who paid.
After the meal, Xiang Wenxin offered to drive Zhizhong back to his hotel to rest. It was hot, and it wasn't good to be out and about at this time.
Zhizhong said he wanted to visit the Nautical Museum to take a look, suspecting that Ma Qingqing might go there. During their interactions, Ma Qingqing had shown interest and appreciation for history.
Places like the Nautical Museum that carry the thousand-year history of Rong City have always been popular attractions, and it was quite possible that Ma Qingqing might visit.
Xiang Wenxin said alright, you go to the museum, and I'll wait for you at the coffee shop across from the museum and take a noon break.
Subconsciously, Zhizhong remarked, "Miss Xiang likes coffee too, huh?"
"You idiot, it made you think of that foxy Feng Jianren and her love for coffee, didn't it?"
"Ah? I..." Zhizhong was really in a quandary, "It was just a casual remark! Miss Xiang and Director Feng, really are natural enemies, what's the deal here?"
"Hehe... Please enlighten me!"
Xiang Wenxin's delicate red lips pursed slightly, a hint of slyness flashing in her eyes, "Then forget the museum. It's not worth seeing a bunch of old ships and rusty nails, I'll join you for a coffee! Feng Jianren mentioned that you make a great cup of coffee, why not show me your skills?"
