C211 The royal family has no kinship (2/2)
Since ancient times, the emperor's family had no kinship. In order to fight for the throne, the so-called blood brother was the real enemy, and the crown prince's father wanted his father to die quickly. Otherwise, the crown prince would never be able to rise above the masses.
In fact, it was not only the Monarch's family. Many rich and powerful families were also in a similar situation. In order to compete for power and status, how much was kinship?
Old Master Xie was close to eighty years old, and Xie Zhonghua was also close to sixty years old. If everything was normal, with Old Master Xie's current condition, he would at most be able to live for two to three years, so Xie Zhonghua ought to be able to quickly become the new Patriarch.
But if the Old Master Xie's condition could really be cured by Lu Shan, then... It wasn't impossible for him to live another ten to twenty years. If that really was the case … Xie Zhonghua might not even live as long as the Old Master. Therefore, at this time, it was not impossible for Xie Zhonghua to have some ulterior motives!
Regarding this, Chen Jiarou did not have any good ideas, but.. If Lu Shan could treat a few more severe cases in this period of time, then he could confirm his reputation as the genius doctor. She had to think of a way to get another set of Physician's Certificate for Lu Shan.
If he could really do these two things … At that time, if Xie Zhonghua still wanted to oppose Lu Shan treating the old man's illness, then he wouldn't have a proper excuse.
If Xie Zhonghua still wanted to stop him under these circumstances … His intentions were too obvious. This would only cause his image and prestige to suffer a serious blow. At that time … Even if the old man really couldn't carry him through, he wouldn't be the one to take over the position of Patriarch.
However, the problem was … How could he make Lu Shan be willing to treat these few seriously ill patients? After all, Lu Shan wasn't a full-time doctor, so it was obvious that … He had to rely entirely on his mood to treat patients, and he also needed to rely on the treatment of a severely ill patient who was willing to be treated by Lu Shan. Who knew that Lu Shan did not even have a Physician's Certificate, if he casually found a patient, how could he trust Lu Shan?
So... This matter needs to be properly arranged …
In the blink of an eye, it was Tuesday, Chen Jiarou's birthday.
Originally, Chen Jiarou had said that the birthday party would start at five at night. However, she had called Lu Shan early in the morning and asked him when he would be able to find his, so he could go find her as early as possible.
Lu Shan did not know what Chen Jiarou wanted with him, he only thought that it was to help her arrange the location of the party, and agreed right away.
Thus, after lunch had passed, he did not stay behind to help clean up the ”battlefield” that was a mess, and directly drove to the Yunzhong Hotel.
In reality, the store had already hired an hour worker a few days ago. After all, the restaurant was very busy at noon every day, and it was quite taxing to rely on just the two of them alone. Since they only had two or three hours of work to do every day, they naturally didn't need to hire any servants for a long period of time. Thus, after some discussion, they decided to hire a worker for an hour, working from 11 o'clock until 1 o'clock in the afternoon. This way, Cui Wenwen, the boss, would not be so tired, and Lu Shan, the chef, could be considered relieved. Otherwise, he would be embarrassed to let Cui Wenwen make fun of him when she was facing so many plates everyday!
