The Luckiest Dumb Doctor - Chapter 244

Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Do you think I’m right?_1

“Haha, Director Wang, I thought you wouldn’t have time to come over.”

Greg Jensen laughed as he approached and extended his hand for a handshake, then asked, “Director Wang, how’s your health?”

“Haha, the doctor said it was lucky we caught it early. After a few days of simple treatment, there’s no big issue anymore. As long as I take good care of myself and have regular check-ups, there shouldn’t be any major problems.”

“That’s really a cause for celebration!”

Director Wang laughed, “Your Dreamscape Garden opening is the real occasion for celebration. How is it going, any difficulties that you need my help to resolve?”

“Actually, there’s nothing much…”

As Greg Jensen was speaking, a group of people came walking over from a distance, led by the Chief and Deputy Chief of the Health Department, Richard Lampe and Pearl Walker.

“Young Greg, congratulations.”

“Boss Jensen, all the best on your opening.”

Richard Lampe came up to Greg Jensen with a beaming smile, winking and said softly, “That medicine of yours is really miraculous.”

“Haha, as long as it’s useful.”

Greg Jensen smiled knowingly and then turned to Pearl Walker, saying with a smile, “Pearl, you’re here too?”

Pearl Walker had previously made things difficult for Greg Jensen, and though she was very reluctant in her heart, at this moment she could only force a smile and said, “Um, congratulations, Boss Jensen.”

“You’re too kind, Pearl.”

Greg Jensen smiled briefly, then turned his head back to continue chatting with Director Wang and Richard Lampe.

Pearl Walker’s smile was somewhat stiff. But with her two superiors present, how could she dare to leave on her own?

Seeing this scene, Cindy Harrison felt her head buzz as a chill rose from the bottom of her heart and rushed to the top of her head.

Greg Jensen actually knew Director Wang, and it seemed like they were on very good terms?

How… how is that possible?

He was just a poor boy from the countryside, and even if he had the money to open a private kitchen, from where did he get the connections to mingle with big shots like Director Wang?

Keep in mind, although Director Wang’s position might not seem high, he holds significant power in the catering industry.

Even the Lin family had to pay him some respect.

Cindy Harrison could never have imagined that she would see Director Wang, such a significant figure, at the opening day of Dreamscape Garden!

What’s more absurd is that Greg Jensen not only knew Director Wang, but he was also on extremely familiar terms with both chiefs of the inspection team.

Watching them chat, they looked like old friends who had known each other for many years.

Greg Jensen had only been in Jamae City for a few days, how could he have such a vast network of connections?

Before coming here, Cindy Harrison only wanted to thoroughly humiliate Greg Jensen, but at this moment, she felt somewhat at a loss.

If the director and both chiefs are friends of Greg Jensen, they wouldn’t trouble her if they didn’t seek her out, dare she humiliate Greg Jensen?

At that moment, Judy Lampe suddenly walked over, tugged at Cindy Harrison’s arm, and whispered urgently, “Cindy, think of something quick!”

“Think of something?”

Cindy Harrison hadn’t come back to her senses, and asked blankly, “Think of what?”

Judy Lampe looked anxiously at the standing grandfather clock at the entrance and said urgently, “The clock! Hurry up and think of a way to move the clock away.

If Director Wang knows how good his relationship with Greg Jensen is and finds out that we brought a clock as a gift for his opening, won’t he deal with us?”

Upon hearing this, Cindy Harrison felt her head buzz, and she instantly felt like she was in an ice cellar.

Director Wang was essentially the parent official of the catering industry; if he wanted to trouble someone, he didn’t need to go to much effort.

He could easily find some issues and have the place shut down for rectification.

Shutting down for rectification, losing some sales is a small matter, but a slip in the restaurant’s reputation, that’s a big problem.

“What are you waiting for, hurry up!”

“Ah, I… I see.”

Cindy Harrison shivered and hurried to the floor clock, intending to ask the decorators to move it quickly, only to remember that those workers had already left.

She immediately panicked and hurriedly called the moving company, but at that moment, Director Wang had already come over, accompanied by Greg Jensen.

Seeing the floor clock, Director Wang’s face sank, and he frowned, “Why is there a floor clock at your entrance?”

Greg Jensen chuckled, glanced at Cindy Harrison beside him, and said indifferently, “Oh, it was a gift from a friend.”

“Friend?”

Director Wang was quick to react and glanced coldly at Cindy Harrison, “Your friend doesn’t seem to have much class. It would be better to keep your distance in the future.”

“I haven’t been in touch for a long time, but I don’t know why, she still sticks to me like a plaster.”

Richard Lampe also noticed the problem and sneered, “Whenever a plaster is stuck, you peel it off and throw it away quickly, otherwise it will start to smell after a long time.”

“Haha, Richard is right, I’ll throw it in the trash later,” laughed Greg Jensen.

Pearl Walker watched Cindy Harrison thoughtfully, and though she didn’t speak, her eyes already showed a hint of coldness.

She was pondering how to repair her relationship with Greg Jensen, and now an opportunity had come, hadn’t it?

She knew Cindy Harrison, the future young mistress of the Lin family.

But what of that?

She wasn’t in business, so she didn’t need to worry about the Lin family at all.

Richard Lampe sneered, “Greg, if you need our help to peel off this plaster, just say the word. We’re all friends here and should help each other out.”

“Richard is right, that’s the idea!”

Director Wang nodded and deliberately looked at Cindy Harrison, asking, “What do you think?”

“Yes, what Director Wang and Section Chief Lampe said is, of course… correct.”

Cindy Harrison’s face was green with anger as she was ridiculed by several people, and she couldn’t even retort; instead, she had to force a smile and agree with them.

It felt unbearably terrible!

Director Wang looked deeply at Cindy Harrison, then turned his head to Pearl Walker and said, “Pearl, the market atmosphere has been quite poor lately. Let’s have a meeting tomorrow to tidy things up.

We must crack down on those tendencies for malicious competition and not allow anyone with ulterior motives to sabotage the market environment.”

Pearl Walker glanced at Cindy Harrison again, nodded in understanding, and said, “Director, I understand. I’ll arrange it when I get back this afternoon.”

Greg Jensen smiled in admiration, “Having a leader like Director Wang who is willing to maintain the market environment is a blessing for us small merchants.”

“Haha, do you still consider yourself a small merchant?” Director Wang laughed.

Greg Jensen smiled, “Of course, I’m involved in small-scale businesses; I can’t compare to those big shots who dominate various fields.”

Director Wang joked, “We’ll only know whether it’s a small-scale business after we go in and see for ourselves.”

“Then please come inside,” Greg Jensen said with a smile, personally leading Director Wang and the others indoors.

Cindy Harrison watched the backs of the group, feeling as if she had drained all her strength; she exhaled a long breath and her legs went soft, nearly collapsing to the ground.

Judy Lampe quickly stepped forward to support her, anxiously asking, “Cindy, what do we do now?”

“What else can we do? Hurry up and move the clock away,” Cindy Harrison said resignedly.

Kingsley Harrison sneered, “The item has already been given to us, you say move it, just like that? Wishful thinking!”

“You…”

Cindy Harrison’s complexion darkened again, but thinking of the consequences if the floor clock stayed, she could only force a smile with a hint of flattery, “Mr. Harrison, I was young and ignorant, please don’t take it personally…”
