Eddy Harrison saw the situation and hurriedly said, âThe head chefâs medicinal cuisine was personally taught by the boss. Not only is the nourishing effect exceptional, but the taste is also quite remarkable. You shouldnât underestimate him.â
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 Jensenâs medical knowledge, the man had directly performed a âSilver needleâ 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, âThe pool game wasnât in vain; weâve found ourselves a great chef.â
Spencer Burley, seemingly thinking of something, said, âIt was in vain.â
Greg Jensen was taken aback and asked, âHuh? What do you mean âin vainâ?â
Spencer Burley said with a wry smile, âI was in such a hurry when I left that I forgot to pay.â
Greg Jensen laughed and said, âHahaha, just send it over to him later.â
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, âWhoâs in charge here?â
Kingsley Harrison quickly stepped forward and said, âThat would be me. May I ask what this is about?â
The middle-aged womanâs face was stern as she said, âItâs like this, thereâs been a report that your establishment is using prohibited substances, and weâre here to shut you down. Here is the notice; please sign it.â
âUsing prohibited substances?â
Spencer Burley instantly grew angry, pointing at the Dreamscape Garden currently under renovation and said, âAre you blind? We havenât even opened for business yet, and youâre accusing us of using prohibited substances?
Come on, search all you want, and if you find anything, Iâll do whatever you say!â
âMagnus, shut up!â
Adrian Wright pulled him back and then asked with a smile, âMadam, may I have the honor of knowing your family name?â
The middle-aged womanâs expression turned even uglier as she cast a cold glance at Spencer Burley and said, âMy last name is Zhao, head of the inspection division.â
âMs. Zhao, nice to meet you. As you can see, we havenât opened for businessâ¦â
âWhether youâve opened or not is your business.â
Ms. Zhao cut him off and demanded, âWho will sign here?â
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.
âBefore you receive notification, your establishment is not allowed to carry out any commercial activities, understand?â
âUnderstood.â
Ms. Zhaoâs mouth curled into a mocking sneer as she said lightly, âRenovation is also not permitted, got that?â
âNot even renovation? Youâre deliberately causing trouble!â Spencer Burley flared up again.
Ms. Zhao scoffed and replied, âIf you keep shouting at me, Iâll make sure your establishment gets permanently shut down, believe it or not.â
âYouâ¦â
Seeing Spencer Burley about to retort, Adrian Wright quickly stepped forward to hold him back and said to Ms. Zhao with a smile, âOkay, Ms. Zhao, we have received your instructions and will cease construction immediately.â
âHeh, you better play by the rules.â
Ms. Zhao let out a sneering laugh, turned, and left with her team. It wasnât clear if it was intentional, but as she walked away, she said, âCountry bumpkins from out of town, coming to Jamae City and breaking the rules, serves you right to be shut down.â
Her voice wasnât loud, but it was just enough for Spencer Burley and the others to hear distinctly.
Greg Jensenâs expression darkened slightly as he suddenly thought of the woman named Lena Holmes from yesterday and frowned, saying, âCould it be that Trigova Trading Company is behind this?â
Kingsley Harrison nodded and said, âIt must be them. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that we just turned down their partnership and trouble arrives the next day?â
Adrian Wright furrowed his brow and said, âHave you offended Trigova Trading Company?â
âDo you know this company?â
âYeah, itâs run by Jay Brent.â
Greg Jensenâs face darkened as he frowned and said, âJay Brent again?â
Adrian Wrightâs heart skipped a beat, and he said in surprise, âBro Greg, donât tell me youâve offended Jay Brent again.â
Greg Jensen forced a smile and said, âItâs not that I want to offend them, itâs 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 Cityâ¦â
After hearing the full story, Adrian Wright could only smile wryly and said, âYour luck really is terrible, how could you run into this too?â
âNo choice.â
Greg Jensen also felt somewhat helpless, as neither of the two deals in Jamae City had gone smoothly.
Spencer Burley said, âBro Greg, donât worry about it for now. My dad seems to be quite familiar with people from the Health Department, Iâll give him a call and ask.â
âThat would be great, thanks.â
âNo need for formalities between us.â
After saying that, Spencer Burley stepped aside to make the call.
After pondering for a bit, Adrian Wright said, âI also know some people in the fire department; letâs take them out for dinner tonight, so we donât get outmaneuvered by Jay Brentâs side and end up with more trouble.â
âHmm.â
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, âMy dad happens to be dining with the director of the Health Department tonight; he said we could join them.â
âAlright, what should we bring?â
âNo need to prepare anything, Iâve got two cases of wine in my car; weâll just take them with us.â
Greg Jensen laughed and said, âThen itâs settled.â
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 Burleyâs father, Craig Burley, quickly stood up and said with a smile, âEveryone, this is my son Magnus Conner, and next to him is his friend Greg Jensen, also known as the âDivine Doctorâ Iâve just mentioned to you all.â
The others nodded but no one spoke; it was not hard to tell from their expressions that none of them believed Craig Burleyâs âtall tale.â
Although they did not believe it, they saw no need to say so.
However, there was one person with low EQ who bluntly asked, âCraig, are you joking? A divine doctor so young?â
Craig Burley smiled awkwardly and said, âHeroes are not judged by their origins, and age shouldnât be the measure for a doctor.
Although Greg is young, his medical skills are indeed impressive. You all know about my daughterâs issue; many renowned doctors couldnât find the problem, yet she was cured instantly under Gregâs care.â
Upon hearing this, everyone was somewhat shocked.
âYour daughterâs illness got better?â
Craig Burley smiled and said, âAlthough sheâs not fully recovered, she has shown signs of improvement and has been taking medicine prescribed by Greg these past few days.â
âReally? Then Gregâs medical skills are indeed noteworthy.â
Everyone couldnât help but express their admiration, but Old Li snorted and said dismissively, âMaybe it was just a fluke.â
Greg Jensenâs brows furrowed slightly; before Craig Burley could speak, he directly addressed Old Li, âUncle Li, you have a weak stomach, you should speak less while eating to avoid indigestion.â
Old Li was taken aback, his brows immediately furrowed, and he turned his head to look at Craig Burley.
