Chapter 9: The Grand Palace

Doctors not only have a relatively high salary, but also enjoy very generous benefits. The standard probation period is one year, and there is an assessment; if the assessment is not passed, one must still leave.

It is evident that the items left behind by the old man must be valuable, and that Tai Chi manual is certainly authentic. He thought of trying to practice it; perhaps he could become a martial arts master.

After the Chang family father and son took their leave, the leaders of the hospital also went about their respective duties. It can be said that the greatest beneficiary was still the hospital. Not only did it receive a sponsorship of 10 million, but Chang Jianyun also promised to help the hospital build a high-standard rehabilitation center, with all expenses covered by him

Moreover, this person was like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, constantly surveying the surroundings from all directions, not much different from a country bumpkin coming to the city. Many people's gazes were directed at him, making him feel completely uncomfortable.

Subsequently, Chang Shuhao took the menu from the waitress and tossed it to Xie Dongya. Upon opening it, Xie Dongya immediately gasped in shock. Not to mention the dazzling array of items on the menu, the prices were truly astonishing.

However, Xie Dongya grinned, not expecting that this fellow was so eager to verify as soon as his things were restored, truly a genuine lecher.

Chang Shuhua was quite straightforward, ordering one of everything. The waiter took the menu and bowed to the two before exiting, clearly well-trained

Everything related to leisure can be found here, and it is undoubtedly the most top-notch in Donghai. Of course, the prices are also the highest, and ordinary people can only stand outside and take a look. It is said that even the least expensive cup of coffee inside costs several hundred yuan.

Chang Shuhau also sensed the gazes of those people, chuckling as he patted Xie Dongya's shoulder, and then he narrowed his eyes and scanned the surroundings. What a joke, how could a friend of Chang Shao be treated like a monkey? If those people continued to be ungrateful, this fellow might just explode on the spot

"Brother, ordering so many dishes is simply impossible to finish; isn't that a waste?"

Feel free to order whatever you like, don't hold back, just treat this place like your own home

However, after flipping through a few pages, Xie Dongya discovered that cucumbers were the cheapest vegetable. There was a dish called "Yellow Bean Sprouts with Meat," and the price was actually 8,888. Is there dragon meat in those bean sprouts

Seeing that Xie Dongya had not pointed out anything for half a day, Chang Shuhao asked with a smile. Xie Dongya, feeling embarrassed, replied to Chang Shuhao: "Young Master Chang, these dishes are truly too expensive"

Xie Dongya has a feeling that after working for a month, he might not even be able to afford a light bulb from one of the chandeliers here, and indeed, this is the case

However, upon seeing Chang Shuhai, he knew for certain that he could not go home. With a helpless shake of his head, Xie Dongya got into Chang Shuhai's car. Chang Shuhai said, "Drive," and the Maybach headed straight for the city center.

Seeing that Xie Dongya was somewhat downcast, Chang Shuhao lightly furrowed his brow and said: "How about this, I will have them prepare only a small amount of each dish, that way it won't be a waste."

This fellow merely snorted in his nose as a response, revealing the essence of a wealthy second-generation. As soon as Xie Dongya entered the Grand Palace, he was left dumbfounded; not only was the exterior of the Grand Palace bright and colorful, but the interior decoration was also extremely luxurious, with brilliance shining everywhere.

The first floor is the dining hall, with scarlet carpets laid on both the main and side paths, soft and airy underfoot, as if even one's body feels a few degrees lighter

Brother, let's go, I will take you out to have some fun

Haha, brother, you have saved my life. Today, I will set a table for you, and you shall taste each dish a few bites.

What on earth is this place, where a serving of cold cucumber salad costs as much as 666 yuan? With that much money, one could buy a whole truckload of cucumbers outside. Are the cucumbers here grown by virgins?

The Grand Palace, which is a subsidiary of the Chang Group, saw Chang Shuhao step out of the car and swagger in alongside Xie Dongya. Everyone they encountered along the way respectfully greeted Chang Shuhao with the title "Young Master Chang".

Upon seeing Chang Shuhau and Xie Dongya, I recalled that he had mentioned in the morning that he would treat me to a meal. Originally, he had also planned to go home to take a look at that Tai Chi manual

Anyone from the East China Sea, or who has spent some time there, is likely to be familiar with the Grand Palace. The Grand Palace is a large conglomerate that encompasses a variety of projects, including dining, entertainment, leisure, and high-end club services

The news of Xie Dongya's formal appointment quickly spread throughout the hospital, eliciting feelings of envy, jealousy, and even disdain from some. The First People's Hospital is a top-tier hospital, and becoming a formal doctor here means securing a stable job.

After work, as Xie Dongya arrived at the entrance of the hospital, he saw a Maybach parked at the hospital gate. Chang Shuhao was sitting in the back seat, smiling as he looked at Xie Dongya

Brother, you are truly amazing. Not only have you helped me regain my former glory, but I am now incredibly fierce. Today, I tried several girls, and they were all overwhelmed by me. This is like an old cow that doesn't give birth, simply outstanding.

In fact, Xie Dongya was unaware that the dish of bean sprouts with meat was a delicacy served at state banquets. It was only because the Grand Palace had invited a retired state banquet chef that this dish was available; otherwise, no matter how much money one spent, it would be impossible to taste it.

How is it, brother? Is there nothing to your taste?

Do not pay attention to those tasteless individuals, let us go to the second floor to dine

Taking the menu from Xie Dongya's hands, Chang Shuhao looked around and shook his head. "Damn it, I don't know what to eat either. How about this, let's have one of everything so my brothers can all have a taste, and bring another bottle of '82 red wine. Alright, let's go with that."

It was not until he reached the private room on the second floor that Xie Dongya finally let out a sigh of relief, indicating that he still needed to strengthen his mental resilience. Fortunately, he had come here to dine with a man; had it been with a woman, he would have been in a much more embarrassing situation.

Chang Shuhao was originally a very righteous person; he did not want to invite someone to a meal and make them uncomfortable. Seeing that Xie Dongya was still somewhat displeased, Chang Shuhao helplessly called over the waiter and only requested eight signature dishes. At this, a smile finally appeared on Xie Dongya's face

For Xie Dongya, who is accustomed to frugality, such a way of eating is truly wasteful. It indeed echoes the two lines from Du Fu's poem "Yonghuai Wubai Zi": "The wine and meat of the rich stink, while the bones of the frozen lie on the road"

All the ability to see through things that I possess is entirely due to the two purple beads left by that old man, and that medical scripture is also quite miraculous. If it were not for that book, I would not have been able to help Chang Shuhao resolve that insect curse today

Xie Dongya's ability to become a formal doctor in less than three months of internship is truly a rare achievement, and it is only natural for some to feel envy and resentment towards him

Do not be so formal; if you respect me, just call me Brother Chang. Don't keep calling me in a diminutive way, it sounds awkward.

At this time, there are quite a few diners in the restaurant. The elder brother is dressed elegantly and dining gracefully, while someone like Xie Dongya, who is wearing casual attire, definitely belongs to the alternative category

Throughout the journey, Chang Shuhao kept talking with a grin, while Xie Dongya merely listened. After driving for more than half an hour, they finally arrived at the entrance of the Grand Palace, and Xie Dongya's ears were much quieter.

After finishing speaking, Chang Shuhao burst into laughter. This fellow is just straightforward, saying whatever comes to mind, never caring about the time or occasion.
