Chapter 23 Trouble at the Door

Ye Bufan hadn't paid attention to this bracelet originally, but now, upon scanning it with his Divine Sense, he discovered that its material was indeed entirely granite, completely devoid of any Spiritual Qi. Instead, there was a layer of gray Qi, which, over time, could cause significant harm to the human body.

Seeing that Zhu Linlin was still a bit skeptical, Qin Chu Chu picked up a spoon from the table, took off the jade bracelet from her own wrist, and tapped it. The sound was clear and pleasant.

"Actually, it's very simple to identify this thing. Tap yours and see what sound it makes. If the sound is clear, it's jadeite or jade. If the sound is dull, then it's made of stone."

Zhu Linlin took off the bracelet and tapped it with the spoon, producing a dull thud, completely lacking the clear and pleasant sound of Qin Chu Chu's.

"Ma Wenbo, you bastard!"

After confirming that it was a fake bracelet harmful to the human body, Zhu Linlin furiously smashed it on the ground.

With a crack, the bracelet shattered into pieces, revealing the un-dyed parts inside, which were indeed granite.

Qin Chu Chu then stepped forward, pointed at her LV bag, and said, "This thing, he wouldn't have given it to you as a genuine product, would he? Let me tell you, this thing is a knock-off; there are plenty of them for dozens of yuan on Taobao."

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! This is a limited edition LV bag his friend brought back from abroad; it cost over 40,000 yuan. It absolutely cannot be fake."

Zhu Linlin was on the verge of collapse. She had slept with Ma Wenbo for that bracelet, and broken up with Ye Bufan for this bag. If they were all fake, she truly felt like dying.

"It's clear you haven't used a genuine LV bag before. I'll give you a free appraisal right now," Qin Chu Chu said. "On a genuine LV bag, the circular 'R' in the brand engraving is the smallest among the three rows of English letters, but yours isn't small at all; in fact, it's the largest.

And look at the metal parts on the bag. Genuine metal parts are well-polished, with clear engravings and a softer luster, but yours clearly looks dyed, and the lettering isn't clear.

Most importantly, your bag isn't even real leather; it's completely a dyed, low-grade item."

As she spoke, she took the half-cup of water Ye Bufan had left and spilled it on Zhu Linlin's LV bag. She wiped it with two fingers, and the purplish-red dye from the bag stained her hand.

At this point, even an idiot would know the bag was fake!

"Ah… you, Ma, I'm going to kill you!"

Zhu Linlin let out a desperate howl, then rushed out of the private room like a madwoman.

fakes—anyone would be unable to bear such a shock.

Ye Bufan shook his head and said, "Why go through all this trouble?"

If it hadn't been exposed, Zhu Linlin would have kept those two fakes with some comfort. Now, her last bit of solace has been shattered.

Qin Chu Chu smiled and said, "This woman actually dumped you for money. I want her to clearly understand how foolish her actions were."

Ye Bufan said, "Let bygones be bygones. Thank you for helping me today."

Qin Chu Chu looked at him with burning eyes and said, "How will you thank me? You know, that was my first kiss."

Ye Bufan said, "Then what should I do? Should I give you my first kiss too?"

"Who cares."

Qin Chu Chu's cheeks flushed. For some reason, all she had thought about today was the man in front of her; she had even been a bit distracted at work.

She finally made it to the end of her shift, and when she heard Zhu Linlin say that Ye Bufan didn't have a girlfriend, she stepped forward without hesitation, as if she deeply craved this opportunity, even offering her first kiss of over twenty years without a second thought.

To hide her shyness, she said, "What exactly did you do for Dong Tianda? He actually gave you a restaurant?"

"His son was infected with an unknown virus that time, and I saved him…"

Ye Bufan recounted what had happened at Jiangnan Hospital, "To thank me, he gave me this restaurant as payment for my Medical skill."

Qin Chu Chu said in surprise, "You have such good Medical skill?"

Ye Bufan said, "No one in the world has better Medical skill than I do."

"Boasting."

Qin Chu Chu clearly didn't quite believe him. Just then, Ye Bufan's phone rang. It was Director Zhou Yongliang from the Health Bureau.

He pressed the answer button and said, "Director Zhou, is something wrong?"

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Yongliang excitedly said, "Dr. Ye, where are you? I'd like to invite you to dinner tonight.

To be honest with you, the last incident of elementary school students suddenly contracting the virus was handled very effectively by the Health Bureau, and it didn't cause any serious consequences or negative impact.

I just received praise from above and a large bonus.

One should not forget the well-digger when drinking water. All of this is your credit, so of course, I must thank you, this Great Master of medicine, properly."

"This small matter is nothing; it's my duty as a doctor," Ye Bufan said. "However, since Director Zhou has been commended, we should celebrate. I'm currently at Zui Jiangnan Grand Restaurant; please come over."

"Alright, I'm not far from there; I'll be there soon."

Zhou Yongliang finished speaking and hung up the phone. Just then, a Middle-aged Man of about 40, accompanied by the restaurant's middle management, arrived at the private room door.

The Middle-aged Man said, "Hello, Mr. Ye. My name is Liu Kai. Mr. Dong sent me here to temporarily manage this restaurant for you, replacing Zhang Daqing."

"Oh! Then you've worked hard."

Liu Kai appeared shrewd and capable. Ye Bufan was quite satisfied with Dong Tianda's arrangement.

He had his own plans for this restaurant. His mother had always run her small steamed bun shop, not earning much and working hard through wind and rain. Ouyang Lan was also a very strong-willed person; even though he had money now, it was unlikely she would stay idle. Now that he had this restaurant, it was perfect for his mother to come and enjoy life.

However, it was clearly unsuitable for his mother to be the general manager. Liu Kai was just a temporary arrangement; in the future, if a suitable candidate was found, he would still return Liu Kai to Dong Tianda.

After meeting, Liu Kai and the others took their positions, and the restaurant operated smoothly and orderly, without falling into chaos due to Zhang Daqing's departure.

Not long after, Zhou Yongliang arrived. Ye Bufan introduced him to Qin Chu Chu, and the three of them sat down to eat together.

The Great Master chef at Zuixian Restaurant was indeed skilled; the three of them ate very happily.

But after a while, Liu Kai suddenly rushed in from outside, looking anxious, and said, "Boss, something happened! A group of people claiming to be the health inspection team suddenly came downstairs, saying our restaurant's hygiene is substandard and demanding immediate closure for rectification."

Ye Bufan frowned. He had just taken over this restaurant, and trouble immediately arrived. He instantly realized that this matter was related to Ma Wenbo, as only he knew about this and also had a grudge against him.

Upon hearing Liu Kai's report, Zhou Yongliang's face fell.

His own head was eating upstairs, and his subordinates came to cause trouble. Where would he put his face? How could he continue eating?

He said, "Dr. Ye, leave this matter to me. I'll go down and see what's going on."

Ye Bufan said, "Let's go together."

With that, he and Qin Chu Chu, along with Liu Kai, walked down to the lobby.
