Chapter 213 - Crazy About Games (1/2)

“Aha? Here we go!” Xiao Hong followed Zhang Dalong’s car to turn around the corner and found that the car slowly drove into the underground garage of a hotel.

“New Lake Hotel?” Hao Ning looked at the name of the hotel and said with doubt, “Why are we here?”

“Because it’s Mr. Hu’s family business…” As Zhou Yuan guessed, he took out his mobile phone and checked it. “Sure enough, New Lake is also ‘Xin Hu’ in Chinese. This old man is really interesting. He gave it a homophonic name.”

“But aren’t they running a clinic?” Hao Ning took Zhou Yuan’s cell phone and understood after seeing it. “I thought that we would eat in the restaurant next to their clinic.”

“We are next to their clinic.” Liu Shuai patted Hao Ning on the shoulder and pointed to the building across the road. “Have a look.”

Hao Ning looked along the direction Liu Shuai pointed to and saw a tall building with seven big words on the top, “New Lake Hospital of Traditional Medicine of Celestial Empire”.

“Damn it! How could it be just a clinic? This is a hospital!” Hao Ning almost had a nervous breakdown when seeing this. “Is this Mr. Hu’s family business so big?”

I don’t know.” Xiao Hong also drove into the parking lot, following Zhang Dalong’s car. “After all, this is only a chain organization in H City, not their headquarters.”

“Is this just a chain store?” Hao Ning’s mouth was opened wider. “Then where is their headquarters?”

“Guess?” Zhou Yuan said with a smile, “Can’t you guess with the familiarity between Zhang Dalong and Mr. Hu?”

As expected, Mr. Hu was really somebody. As soon as several people got off the car, a few attendants took them into a special elevator. There was only one bottom for one floor in the elevator, the top floor.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Jienan had been waiting for Hao Ning and others at the door. After seeing all the people, Jienan smiled happily. At the same time, he was a little sorry. “Brother Hao Ning, Mr. Zhang hasn’t seen Mr. Hu for a long time. They are having an animated conversation, so he sent me here to wait for you.”

“Hey, why do we pay attention to these ceremonies?” Hao Ning smiled and patted Jienan on the shoulder. In a flash, he saw the whole scene. He swallowed his mouth stiffly at once. “Mr. Hu is so ceremonious…”

Hao Ning’s words were true because what they saw was not the normal scene on the top floor of a hotel. Indeed, it was the top floor of the 30-story hotel. However, it was not like the interior decoration of the top floor of an ordinary hotel, but an open-air garden. In the depth of the garden, there was a quiet quadrangle courtyard house.

Here was a small bridge over the flowing stream, and there was a pavilion, behind which there was a bamboo forest and even a vegetable field.

“Mr. Zhang said that Mr. Hu was getting old and started to like this kind of natural scenery.” As Jienan led the way, he explained. “There is no such a place in H City, so his younger generation built this place on their own hotel in order to honor him.”

Several people walked on the stone road on the top floor of the building. They crossed the small bridge and came to the quadrangle courtyard surrounded by a bamboo forest. Along the way, except Xiao Hong, others were looking back and forth, showing that they saw little of the world.

After several people entered the hall, they heard the voice of Mr. Hu behind the screen. “So, Brother Zhang has been upset about something recently?”

“Well, if it was just a common thing about business, it wouldn’t bother me naturally, but it’s very strange, and I have no clue.” These words were followed by Zhang Dalong’s voice. “What a coincidence! I was originally just taking a walk to relax today, but it was a coincidence that I met so many people. Maybe they have some solution for my problem.”

At this time, Hao Ning and others had gone around the screen and come to the hall. Although it was a little luxurious to build a small garden on the top floor of the hotel, there was not much decoration in the hall, which was very antique.

When Mr. Zhang and Mr. Hu saw that several people came here with Hao Ning, Mr. Hu said with a smile quickly, “Look! Our little talents with great abilities are here. Sorry, I haven’t seen Brother Zhang for a long time. I was so happy to talk to him that I really hated to leave him and go out to meet you guys.”

“Not at all.” Hao Ning and others replied immediately. This old man was really interesting. He actually used the words that he hated to leave him. It seemed that he really had a good relationship with Zhang Dalong. Otherwise, how could he “hate to leave him” in the conversation?

“Are we interrupting your conversation?” After all, Xiao Hong use to be with Avalokitesvara, so he could talk and laugh freely and speak with dignity when seeing these scenes. “If there’s something you want to talk about, we can also see the scenery outside. It’s really unique.”

“No need for that.” Zhang Dalong said with a smile quickly. He knew Xiao Hong meant that he was afraid that he had something private to talk about with Mr. Hu. He said hurriedly, “Today, I’m here not to look for Mr. Hu. On the contrary, I want to have a good chat with you guys. As for Mr. Hu, today, he’s just a casual friend who provides food and accommodation.”

“Where are your manners? You really treat my place like a hotel. Then I have to charge you, ha-ha.” Mr. Hu didn’t get angry when he heard that. He said to the girl who had been following him with a smile, “Yun, you just go to prepare something. I’ll have dinner with these friends and have a chat.”

Yun nodded with a smile and walked out.

“Brother, I know you like to listen to some strange news and stories.” Zhang Dalong laughed and didn’t care that what he just said seemed to be disrespectful. “You must be interested in what I’m going to say today. Maybe you will itch, so it will be worth the meal.”

“Strange news and stories?” Hao Ning and Zhou Yuan look at each other. Wasn’t Zhang Dalong the chief of WeChat? Why was a senior member of a technology company going to talk about the strange news and stories instead of soaking himself in high technology every day?

“Is this your business?” Hao Ning asked Zhou Yuan in a low voice, which was not a random question. After all, the reason why Zhang Dalong came here last time was Zhou Yuan, the moment god.

“Maybe not.” Zhou Yuan thought about it carefully and shook his head. “Hasn’t there been no connection between us for a long time? Isn’t that what you told me?”

“It’s true.” Hao Ning said to himself. Since Liu Shuai broke off Zhou Yuan’s incense from Zhang Dalong, there should be no relationship between them.

“Eat first.” Mr. Hu smiled and invited them to sit down. Hao Ning and others made some polite remarks and then sat down.

As soon as they sat down, Yun came to serve with some waiters. After serving, Yun smiled at Mr. Hu. “Grandpa, you can enjoy the meal. I’m going to play in the hospital across the street.”

“Ah, my girl!” Mr. Hu said quickly, “Don’t you eat again? Jienan is already here…”

“Grandpa!” Yun blushed. “What are you talking about? I’m leaving.”

“This kid…” Mr. Hu shook his head with a smile and smiled at Zhang Dalong as well as Jienan apologetically. “I can’t do anything. Yun just likes to go to the hospital across the street to see if there is any difficult illness case and help the doctor. I’m really sorry.”

“No…, nothing.” Jienan was a little hesitant. He blushed and didn’t speak again.

Hao Ning and others looked at each other and smiled. Jienan’s performance at this moment was self-evident, which shows that the natural instincts of a human were the desire for food and sex.

“Brother Hu, Yun’s character is really like yours.” Zhang Dalong patted Jienan on the shoulder and said with a smile, “It’s good for her to be so interested in medical skills.”

“Yes.” Mr. Hu looked at Yun’s back and nodded meaningfully. “There are not many people like her now. When I was young, I didn’t think about food and tea in order to treat a patient. How could some doctors receive bribes and prescribe medicine for money nowadays? Besides, I have heard that there have been such things in my hospital recently. I’m so angry.”

After saying that, Mr. Hu was just like an old kid. He frothed at the mouth and glared with rage immediately as if he was about to swallow those bribed doctors.

Zhang Dalong knew the temperament of Mr. Hu. He persuaded and said with a smile, “There will be some people like this in every big enterprise. Don’t worry too much, brother. It’s painstaking to take care of the business of the enterprise. Just let the young men do it.”

“You’re right.” Mr. Hu smiled. “I wanted to give Clinic Hu to Yun after passing away, but I am worried about her… Alas, forget it. It’s all my family business. Don’t you have something to discuss with your young friends? Shall I go fishing outside?”

“Hey, brother, what are you talking about?” Zhang Dalong said with the fist in the other hand. “You really like joking. Since it’s a strange thing to deal with, so I want everyone to listen to it and see if there is any clue. Brother Hu, you’ve been to all the corners of the country over so many years, and you must have seen so many strange things. Maybe you can help me out, right?”

Once hearing that it was a strange thing, Mr. Hu became interested. “Oh? Tell me.”

“Well…” Zhang Dalong looked at Jienan. “How about you tell the story?”

“Oh? OK!” Jienan was looking in the direction Yun had left, and listening to Zhang Dalong’s words, he was very sorry and laughed. “Here’s the thing. Do you know the game, King of Glory?”

“Sure.” Hao Ning and others nodded. “Isn’t this the most popular mobile game in Celestial Empire now? Both amateur and professional competitions are involved. Isn’t this one of your Penguin’s favorite works? Speaking of this, do you have any cooperation with WeChat?”

“Yes.” Jienan said, who just wanted to go on when speaking of this. He looked at Mr. Hu and paused for a while. Then he explained and said, “Grandpa Hu, King of Glory is a game that young people like to play on their mobile phones…”

“Do you think I’m out of time?” Mr. Hu pretended to blow his beard angrily. “Which hero do you like to use? I like Dakki.”

“Poof…” Hao Ning almost spat out the tea in his mouth. He didn’t expect that this 80-year-old man would play King of Glory and use the role, Dakki. Thinking that the 80-year-old Dakki was in the team, he felt so funny that he kept smiling. Then he nodded hurriedly and boasted, “Grandpa Hu, you’re so amazing. You’re advancing with the times.”

“What’s the matter with this?” Mr. Hu smiled like a kidult and said, “I also had a live broadcast the other day, trying to treat patients online.”
