Chapter 106 No one can supply "Human Fireworks"
Section Chief Zhang shoved the other two men and slunk into the car before fleeing in disgrace.
Su Chen leaned against the door frame, let out a long sigh of relief, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Brother Chen, that was a close call. If Brother Lu hadn't been here, these guys would probably have really gone on and made trouble." Su Chen turned his head and looked at Chen Feng, who was tidying up the table, his tone full of relief.
Chen Feng replied without looking up, "Just a clown, but thanks to President Lu."
Lu Feng pulled Xiao Xue back to her seat, and Xiao Xue had calmed down by then.
"Boss Chen, you just showed me what it truly means to be 'well-informed'." Lu Feng laughed heartily, his tone sincere.
Chen Feng put down the rag, walked to the table, and bowed slightly to Lu Feng: "Mr. Lu, you are joking. If you hadn't spoken up just now, I'm afraid my shop's reputation would have been ruined by these people."
Mr. Chen will remember this kindness.
"Hey, Boss Chen, don't say that." Lu Feng's smile faded, and his expression turned serious.
"If we're talking about favors, I, Lu Feng, owe you something I could never repay in this lifetime."
Xiao Xue nodded in agreement, gently stroking her already protruding belly, and softly said:
"Boss Chen, you may not know what those braised beef brisket with potatoes and that bowl of appetizer soup that Mu Yuan asked you to make yesterday meant to me."
Lu Feng picked up the conversation and sighed heavily: "To be honest, Xiao Xue's pregnancy reaction this time is astonishingly severe."
Forget about eating, he would vomit for half a day even if he drank a sip of plain water.
A while ago, Xiaoxue was in the hospital and relied on intravenous nutrition to survive. She became so thin that she looked unrecognizable.
The doctor even confided in me privately, saying that if things continued like this, neither the mother nor the daughter might make it...
As Lu Feng spoke, his eyes reddened slightly and his voice trembled a little.
"I was really frantic at the time."
She searched the entire city for doctors and consulted countless private chefs who claimed to be "culinary masters," but Xiao Xue vomited before she could even open the lids of their cooking.
Lu Feng looked at Chen Feng and said, "It's strange, but when the smell of the beef brisket wafted out yesterday, Xiao Xue didn't throw up."
Xiao Xue added from the side, "The taste is not greasy at all, unlike those private chefs' cooking, which always has a lingering smell of oil fumes or medicinal herbs."
After I finished eating that day, my stomach felt warm and cozy.
This morning when I woke up, I actually felt energetic, which is why I insisted on dragging Lu Feng along.
Lu Feng stood up, took out an exquisitely crafted rectangular box, and handed it to Chen Feng with both hands.
"Brother Chen, this is a small token of our appreciation."
Mu Yuan originally said you didn't care about gold and silver, but I, Lu Feng, am a vulgar person. All I know is that you saved my wife and children's lives.
You absolutely must accept this.
Xiao Xue also stood up, her eyes sincere: "Brother Chen, you must accept this."
This is not just a thank-you gift; we also want to make friends with you.
"From now on, if you encounter anything in this city that you can't handle, just ask Lu Feng. If he dares to refuse, I won't let him off the hook."
Chen Feng waved his hand.
"Lu Feng, Xiao Xue, you're exaggerating," Chen Feng said calmly.
"Lin Muyuan is my friend, and his friend is naturally my friend too."
I'm happy that Xiao Xue can eat the food I cook.
After all, the happiest thing for a chef is when diners finish their food; that's the best gift.
"Brother Chen, this is different..." Lu Feng wanted to persuade him again.
"Brother Lu, Brother Chen is stubborn. If he says he won't accept it, he really means it," Su Chen said with a smile, trying to smooth things over.
"Besides, the fact that you came here today to eat this braised pork is already considered a favor to our business."
If you keep sending these things, how will Brother Chen dare to cook for Sister Xiao in the future?
Chen Feng nodded, looking at Xiao Xue's much rosier complexion, and gave a faint smile:
"Xiao Xue is still in the recovery period and needs to be careful."
Although today's braised pork isn't greasy, it should still be eaten in moderation.
"Once the pregnancy is completely stable, I'll prepare a truly nourishing meal for you all."
Lu Feng and Xiao Xue exchanged a glance, both seeing deep emotion in each other's eyes.
"Alright." Lu Feng put the box away and prepared to leave with Xiao Xue.
When the two reached the bottom of the stairs, they saw Mengmeng, who had been quite frightened earlier, clinging to the handrail and looking down.
Xiao Xue walked over, squatted down, gently took Mengmeng's little hand, and whispered:
"Little one, were you scared just now? You're alright now."
Mengmeng blinked her big eyes, looked at Xiao Xue, then looked down at Xiao Xue's little belly, and suddenly reached out her little hand to gently touch it.
"Auntie, was your baby scared? Little baby, grow up quickly!" Mengmeng said in her sweet, childlike voice.
"Once she comes out, Mengmeng will take her to the back alley to see the little rabbits and play with her!"
These words made Xiao Xue very happy, and she kissed Mengmeng on the cheek: "Okay, when the baby grows up, Auntie will bring her to come and play with you."
Lu Feng put his arm around Xiao Xue, nodded to Chen Feng and Su Chen, and the two of them walked out of the store together.
The black luxury car slowly drove away from the old street, and the tense atmosphere in the shop finally dissipated.
Meanwhile, inside a car deep in the old alley.
The third brother had a gloomy face, gripping his phone tightly in his hand, listening to the busy tone coming from the other end, the veins on the back of his hand throbbing.
He never expected that Lu Feng would appear there.
"Damn it, what the hell?" the third brother cursed, turning to look out the window at the neighbors pointing and whispering about the "human world."
"Go, drive the car to the main road. I need to call Young Master Su."
A moment later, at the Su Building in the city center.
Su Ang sat in that large leather swivel chair, the sunlight from the floor-to-ceiling windows shining on his well-tailored suit, but unable to penetrate the coldness in his eyes.
"Lu Feng has stepped forward?" Su Ang's voice was cold.
On the other end of the phone, the third brother's voice was trembling: "President Su, it's my fault."
I didn't expect Lu Feng to personally bring Xiao Xue over today. That spineless Section Chief Zhang acted like he'd seen his own father the moment he saw Lu Feng, and immediately turned against us and had our people arrested...
"waste."
Su Ang coldly uttered two words.
"It seems we can't use Section Chief Zhang anymore. As for Lu Feng..." Su Ang's fingers tapped on the table.
"The kind of person he is most concerned with self-interest."
He was able to go to that shabby shop probably because of Xiao Xue's health problems.
He helped Chen Feng once out of kindness; he couldn't help him forever.
Su Ang stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down at the bustling traffic below.
"Your methods are indeed too crude," Su Ang mocked. "Third brother, use your pig brain."
Since he wants to open a shop, the ingredients are his lifeline.
I remember someone named Zhou Heizi was in charge of the supply channels in that area, right?
"Yes, Zhou Heizi has always been an unofficial member of our organization," the third brother quickly replied.
"Tell Zhou Heizi that starting tomorrow, no one can supply 'Human Fireworks'."
Su Ang hung up the phone and sat back down in his seat.
He looked at a research report on Xiao Xue's condition on the table and muttered to himself:
"Chen Feng... being able to cure Xiao Xue's illness shows that you do have some ability."
But in the face of capital, your abilities may not be enough.
"Su Chen, since you think you can 'be a human being' there, then I'll show you that in this world, without money, you can't even be a dog."
