Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Chicken Brother waved his hand: "Don't worry about that. Judging from my judgment of people, since Ye Chen didn't cause us any trouble back then, he probably won't pursue the matter with us."

Another man asked, puzzled, "If we do this, Ye Chen won't know. Aren't we just wasting our time?"

Chicken Bro chuckled knowingly, "You guys don't know this, do things without ulterior motives, be selfless, and you might get even better results!"

"Imagine what would happen if, one day, news of our many accomplishments suddenly reached Ye Chen's ears!"

"This is the most convincing pledge of allegiance!"

"For someone as accomplished as Ye Chen, ordinary flattery might backfire. On the contrary, our silent gesture might one day be something he'll unintentionally remember!"

After finishing his sentence, Brother Chicken smiled and looked at his group of underlings.

"That makes sense. No wonder he's Brother Chicken, he really thinks things through!" A burly man couldn't help but praise him.

In fact, ever since that incident, Brother Chicken has regarded Ye Chen as a god.

Liu Jingxuan and a group of "high-ranking leaders" approached Ye Chen, but Ye Chen easily dealt with them, and Ye Chen was perfectly fine as if nothing had happened.

This is a truly chilling thought!

If he is on the first floor, then Liu Jingxuan and the others can be considered to be on the fifth floor, but Ye Chen is on the top floor!

Ye Chen might be the most powerful person he has ever met in his life.

They had previously offended such an important person by "inviting" his parents.

If they don't try their best to change the impression these big shots have of them, they might be wiped out one day if someone gets upset with them.

There was an element of gambling in what they did.

Losing a bet isn't a big deal; it just wastes some energy and time.

But if they win the bet, they might be able to climb up to Ye Chen's coattails, which would be the best thing ever.

......

After slurping a few more mouthfuls of noodles, the group seemed to have lost their appetite and prepared to leave.

"Boss, check please! How much is it?" Chicken Bro shouted into the house.

The boss's throat bobbed: "One, it's 89 in total, let's just say 80!"

These people look like troublemakers. The boss almost said it was free and that the meal was on him.

Fortunately, Brother Chicken actually paid.

He pulled a red bill from his pocket and placed it on the table: "Keep the change!"

After saying that, he left with his men, leaving the shop owner still somewhat bewildered.

After everyone left, the proprietress came out of the kitchen and whispered, "What did I tell you? I told you they'd pay! Look, they even overpaid!"

The owner nodded, his face full of regret: "I saw their menacing looks and assumed they were just there to freeload, so I was even planning to give them the food for free. It's true what they say, you can't judge a book by its cover!"

The proprietress smiled and said, "Some people seem kind, but they're hypocritical and calculating in their actions; others seem evil, but they're meticulous and pure in their work!"

The boss smiled and sighed.

......

Ye Chen couldn't refuse his mother, so he finally accompanied her to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

However, by the time they went to the TCM clinic, the issues concerning the TCM clinic had already been resolved.

Only Li Wenlong and his daughter were seeing patients at the clinic.

"Master and Madam, what brings you here?" Li Wenlong hurriedly came out to greet Ye Chen.

"My mom's going to come over and beat someone up, so I'm here to stop her!" Ye Chen joked.

"Xiao Xuan, come over and greet him. This is my master, Ye Chen. Call him Grandmaster!" Li Wenlong called out.

Li Yixuan was stunned when she saw Ye Chen in person. He was so young and handsome, much more so than in the videos.

"Master, Grandmaster!" Li Yixuan stammered a little, but still managed to say it.

"Hehe, Master, this is my daughter, Li Yixuan. She's been bringing me lunch these past few days!" Li Wenlong introduced her to Ye Chen with a smile.

Ye Chen smiled and nodded: "You bear a resemblance to me!"

Li Wenlong continued, "This is your grandmaster's mother, my great-grandmother!"

Li Yixuan blinked her eyes: "Great-Grandma, Dad, is it wrong to call Great-Grandma 'old'? She looks like she could be my older sister!"

Hearing Li Yixuan say this, Ye's mother was overjoyed: "Child, just call me 'Auntie' from now on, don't call me 'Great-Grandma.' I'm not that old. Let's treat each other as we are, and ignore them!"

"Okay, hello Auntie!" Li Yixuan said with a smile.

Li Wenlong glared at his daughter: "No respect for elders! Call her Great-Grandma!"

Li Yixuan quickly corrected herself: "Oh, hello Great-Grandma!"

Mother Ye glanced at Li Wenlong and said, "Old Li, you need to change your old-fashioned thinking. You need to keep up with the times, don't you understand? From now on, you should call me 'sister.' I don't want to hear you calling me 'housewife' all the time, making me sound so old. If you call me 'housewife' again, I'll beat you up!"

Li Wenlong scratched his head awkwardly: "My wife isn't old at all, but... but we can't mess up the generational hierarchy!"

Ye Chen waved his hand with a smile: "It's all just customary etiquette, you can call me whatever you want, everyone should use their own way of addressing each other. If my mom beats you up later, I can't stop her!"

"That's right, Grandma looks so young, she makes people look old!" Li Yixuan said weakly.

Li Wenlong could only awkwardly smile apologetically.

Ye Chen looked at Li Yixuan and smiled, "Nice to meet you. Consider this a small gift. You can take it when you get back!"

As he spoke, Ye Chen took out a Cleansing and Marrow-Consolidating Pill and handed it over. Of course, it was sealed with wax, so you couldn't tell what was inside!

Li Yixuan glanced at her father, Li Wenlong, who said irritably, "Just accept the gift from your grandmaster, why are you staring at me like that? Why are you looking at me like a blockhead!"

This is an incredible opportunity, one that money can't buy. The things Master gives out must be amazing.

It's often those who are unaware of the truth who are the most composed!

Li Yixuan responded with an "Oh," and hurriedly accepted the gift with both hands: "Oh, thank you, Grandmaster!"

Although she didn't know what it was and it didn't seem to be anything valuable, she still accepted it solemnly, after all, he was her father's master.

Ye's mother simply gave Li Yixuan a red envelope.

"Here, this is a New Year's red envelope from your aunt. I'm a bit old-fashioned, so I only carry a few red envelopes with me!" Ye's mother said with a smile as she handed Li Yixuan a red envelope.

"I dare not refuse such a generous gift from an elder, so I will accept it. Thank you, Great-Grandma!" Li Yixuan said with a sweet smile.

"That's right, young people should be like that, more straightforward!" Mother Ye was also very happy to have successfully given out the red envelope.

Li Wenlong offered to make tea: "Master, madam, please come and sit here. I just boiled some water!"

Mother Ye shook her head: "We just finished eating, so we won't drink tea. Old Li, if they come again, just kick them out, okay? Don't give them a friendly look. These kinds of people are the kind who will climb the social ladder by taking advantage of others."

Li Wenlong gave an awkward smile and nodded. The people who came were Ye's mother's younger sister and her family, so he still had to consider Ye's mother's feelings.

As an outsider, it's always right for him not to make targeted remarks.
