The Luckiest Dumb Doctor - Chapter 200
Chapter 200: Chapter 200 Temporarily Closed Before Opening_1
Eddy Harrison saw the situation and hurriedly said, “The head chef’s medicinal cuisine was personally taught by the boss. Not only is the nourishing effect exceptional, but the taste is also quite remarkable. You shouldn’t underestimate him.”
Hearing that it was taught by Greg Jensen, Joel Edwards finally put aside some of his scorn.
After all, just when he had doubted Greg Jensen’s medical knowledge, the man had directly performed a ‘Silver needle’ technique on his tongue, curing a problem that he had for many years.
Having dealt with Joel Edwards, Greg Jensen laughed happily and slapped Spencer Burley on the shoulder, saying, “The pool game wasn’t in vain; we’ve found ourselves a great chef.”
Spencer Burley, seemingly thinking of something, said, “It was in vain.”
Greg Jensen was taken aback and asked, “Huh? What do you mean ‘in vain’?”
Spencer Burley said with a wry smile, “I was in such a hurry when I left that I forgot to pay.”
Greg Jensen laughed and said, “Hahaha, just send it over to him later.”
At that moment, a group of health department officials in uniforms walked in, led by a middle-aged woman.
She looked at Greg Jensen and the others and asked, “Who’s in charge here?”
Kingsley Harrison quickly stepped forward and said, “That would be me. May I ask what this is about?”
The middle-aged woman’s face was stern as she said, “It’s like this, there’s been a report that your establishment is using prohibited substances, and we’re here to shut you down. Here is the notice; please sign it.”
“Using prohibited substances?”
Spencer Burley instantly grew angry, pointing at the Dreamscape Garden currently under renovation and said, “Are you blind? We haven’t even opened for business yet, and you’re accusing us of using prohibited substances?
Come on, search all you want, and if you find anything, I’ll do whatever you say!”
“Magnus, shut up!”
Adrian Wright pulled him back and then asked with a smile, “Madam, may I have the honor of knowing your family name?”
The middle-aged woman’s expression turned even uglier as she cast a cold glance at Spencer Burley and said, “My last name is Zhao, head of the inspection division.”
“Ms. Zhao, nice to meet you. As you can see, we haven’t opened for business…”
“Whether you’ve opened or not is your business.”
Ms. Zhao cut him off and demanded, “Who will sign here?”
Kingsley Harrison instinctively looked at Greg Jensen, and seeing his nod, he stepped forward to sign his name on the notice and then picked up an attachment.
“Before you receive notification, your establishment is not allowed to carry out any commercial activities, understand?”
“Understood.”
Ms. Zhao’s mouth curled into a mocking sneer as she said lightly, “Renovation is also not permitted, got that?”
“Not even renovation? You’re deliberately causing trouble!” Spencer Burley flared up again.
Ms. Zhao scoffed and replied, “If you keep shouting at me, I’ll make sure your establishment gets permanently shut down, believe it or not.”
“You…”
Seeing Spencer Burley about to retort, Adrian Wright quickly stepped forward to hold him back and said to Ms. Zhao with a smile, “Okay, Ms. Zhao, we have received your instructions and will cease construction immediately.”
“Heh, you better play by the rules.”
Ms. Zhao let out a sneering laugh, turned, and left with her team. It wasn’t clear if it was intentional, but as she walked away, she said, “Country bumpkins from out of town, coming to Jamae City and breaking the rules, serves you right to be shut down.”
Her voice wasn’t loud, but it was just enough for Spencer Burley and the others to hear distinctly.
Greg Jensen’s expression darkened slightly as he suddenly thought of the woman named Lena Holmes from yesterday and frowned, saying, “Could it be that Trigova Trading Company is behind this?”
Kingsley Harrison nodded and said, “It must be them. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that we just turned down their partnership and trouble arrives the next day?”
Adrian Wright furrowed his brow and said, “Have you offended Trigova Trading Company?”
“Do you know this company?”
“Yeah, it’s run by Jay Brent.”
Greg Jensen’s face darkened as he frowned and said, “Jay Brent again?”
Adrian Wright’s heart skipped a beat, and he said in surprise, “Bro Greg, don’t tell me you’ve offended Jay Brent again.”
Greg Jensen forced a smile and said, “It’s not that I want to offend them, it’s just that things happened to coincide; I partnered with General Zhu from Riverhaven County to start a company with the intention of buying a herbal medicine processing factory in Jamae City…”
After hearing the full story, Adrian Wright could only smile wryly and said, “Your luck really is terrible, how could you run into this too?”
“No choice.”
Greg Jensen also felt somewhat helpless, as neither of the two deals in Jamae City had gone smoothly.
Spencer Burley said, “Bro Greg, don’t worry about it for now. My dad seems to be quite familiar with people from the Health Department, I’ll give him a call and ask.”
“That would be great, thanks.”
“No need for formalities between us.”
After saying that, Spencer Burley stepped aside to make the call.
After pondering for a bit, Adrian Wright said, “I also know some people in the fire department; let’s take them out for dinner tonight, so we don’t get outmaneuvered by Jay Brent’s side and end up with more trouble.”
“Hmm.”
Greg Jensen felt a warmth in his heart and nodded with a smile.
Shortly after, Spencer Burley came back from his call and said with a smile, “My dad happens to be dining with the director of the Health Department tonight; he said we could join them.”
“Alright, what should we bring?”
“No need to prepare anything, I’ve got two cases of wine in my car; we’ll just take them with us.”
Greg Jensen laughed and said, “Then it’s settled.”
The group spent a while in Dreamscape Garden, and in the evening, they dispersed, with Greg Jensen bringing Spencer Burley along to the Mount River Inn.
Mount River Inn was very famous in Jamae City; those who dined there were either wealthy or noble.
Greg Jensen and Spencer Burley parked their car and took the elevator to the third floor, arriving at room 316.
Spencer Burley’s father, Craig Burley, quickly stood up and said with a smile, “Everyone, this is my son Magnus Conner, and next to him is his friend Greg Jensen, also known as the ‘Divine Doctor’ I’ve just mentioned to you all.”
The others nodded but no one spoke; it was not hard to tell from their expressions that none of them believed Craig Burley’s “tall tale.”
Although they did not believe it, they saw no need to say so.
However, there was one person with low EQ who bluntly asked, “Craig, are you joking? A divine doctor so young?”
Craig Burley smiled awkwardly and said, “Heroes are not judged by their origins, and age shouldn’t be the measure for a doctor.
Although Greg is young, his medical skills are indeed impressive. You all know about my daughter’s issue; many renowned doctors couldn’t find the problem, yet she was cured instantly under Greg’s care.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was somewhat shocked.
“Your daughter’s illness got better?”
Craig Burley smiled and said, “Although she’s not fully recovered, she has shown signs of improvement and has been taking medicine prescribed by Greg these past few days.”
“Really? Then Greg’s medical skills are indeed noteworthy.”
Everyone couldn’t help but express their admiration, but Old Li snorted and said dismissively, “Maybe it was just a fluke.”
Greg Jensen’s brows furrowed slightly; before Craig Burley could speak, he directly addressed Old Li, “Uncle Li, you have a weak stomach, you should speak less while eating to avoid indigestion.”
Old Li was taken aback, his brows immediately furrowed, and he turned his head to look at Craig Burley.
