"Dr. Chen, come with me!" the man said politely as he followed Chen Ping.

"Okay!" Chen Ping nodded. "Secretary Li, call me if you need anything. I'm ready to serve you anytime."

"Go ahead and get some rest. I'll treat you to a nice meal tomorrow after I've finished dealing with things."

Li Jizhong said.

Chen Ping followed the man into the car, and then drove towards the most luxurious Tianhai Hotel in Tianhai City.

"Dr. Chen, you're quite familiar with Secretary Li?"

On the way, the man driving asked.

"It's alright. A while ago, Secretary Li and I went to the provincial capital with Old Song. Secretary Li and I went together!"

Chen Ping replied without hesitation.

"Old Song?" The man's body trembled slightly upon hearing this.

He then quickly pulled a business card from his pocket and handed it to Chen Ping. "Dr. Chen, this is my business card. My name is Guo Changlin, and I am the director of the Development and Reform Commission of Tianhai City."

"I hope to have more opportunities to communicate with Dr. Chen in the future, and that he can also help me with my chronic ailments."

Chen Ping took the business card, glanced at it, and then said with a smile, "Director Guo, you're too kind. Just let me know if there's anything you need."

Chen Ping exchanged contact information with Guo Changlin and added him on WeChat.

When the car arrived at Tianhai Hotel, Guo Changlin got out of the car very politely and then personally opened the car door for Chen Ping.

After Guo Changlin followed Chen Ping into the hotel, the lobby manager rushed over when he saw Guo Changlin.

"Director Guo, what brings you here?"

The lobby manager said with a fawning expression.

"Manager Qian, arrange a suite for this Dr. Chen, and put it on the municipal party committee's account. It was arranged by Secretary Li."

Guo Changlin spoke coldly to the lobby manager.

"I understand, I understand..."

Manager Qian nodded, then looked at Chen Ping, "Dr. Chen, come with me, I'll personally arrange things for you."

"Dr. Chen, you should go and rest. If you need anything or if anything happens, just call me anytime. I'll be here waiting."

Guo Changlin said with a smile.

"Thank you for your help, Director Guo." After saying this, Chen Ping followed Manager Qian toward the elevator.

Manager Qian was very careful around Chen Ping, afraid of not serving him well enough.

The person who can be personally arranged by Li Jizhong and personally waited for by Guo Changlin is definitely not someone that a mere lobby manager like him can afford to offend.

Manager Qian bowed and led the way with utmost respect, not daring to be negligent in the slightest throughout the entire process.

The elevator takes you directly to the top floor. Pushing open the heavy solid wood door, you are greeted by the luxurious layout of the entire presidential suite.

"Dr. Chen, this is the best suite in our hotel. Please rest assured and let me know if you need anything."

Manager Qian said respectfully.

"Okay, thank you!" Chen Ping nodded.

"Of course!"

After finishing speaking, Manager Qian slowly left the room, moving very quietly, as if afraid of disturbing Chen Ping.

No wonder he's a lobby manager; his movements and posture have the air of a grand eunuch from the imperial court.

After Manager Qian left, Chen Ping took off his sweat-smelling coat and casually draped it over the sofa.

I went to the bathroom, quickly washed my face, and then collapsed onto the bed, sinking into the mattress.

The bed in this luxurious presidential suite is so soft.

Chen Ping felt his eyelids getting heavy, and he could no longer stay awake. He fell into a deep sleep, and the only sound in the room was his even breathing.

I slept very soundly, without dreams or disturbances.

After an unknown amount of time, the cell phone on my pillow suddenly rang, its gentle ringtone breaking the silence of the suite.

Chen Ping suddenly opened his eyes and subconsciously looked up at the floor-to-ceiling window.

It was already completely dark outside, and the neon lights on the buildings were all flashing.

He raised his hand to rub his throbbing temples, picked up his phone, and saw that the caller ID showed Cui Ying.

"Feed".

Chen Ping's voice was slightly hoarse from just waking up.

A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone: "Chen Ping, are you sleeping? Did I disturb your rest?"

"It's okay, I'm awake now."

Chen Ping sat up, slowly stretching his aching back. "What's wrong? How's it going with things at home?"

Cui Ying paused for two seconds, then said softly, "I had a fight with my parents, and we were at an impasse all afternoon."

"Their attitude hasn't changed. They're still pressuring me to date Ding Peng and using the past to pressure me."

"However... they heard you came to Tianhai today and would like to invite you to dinner so we can have a chat in person."

Chen Ping paused slightly upon hearing this.

"Okay, I'll go." Chen Ping didn't refuse and readily agreed.

Rather than being passively manipulated and bound by two million in favors and debts, it's better to lay everything out in person and put this entanglement behind us.

"I'll send you the location. My parents have already gone there. I'll wait for you at the store," Cui Ying said.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ping got up and went into the washroom.

The cool water splashed on my face, completely dispelling any lingering sleepiness and making me feel much more refreshed.

He quickly tidied himself up, making sure he was clean and neat, then turned and walked out of the suite.

The elevator went straight to the lobby on the first floor. As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw Guo Changlin waiting in the lobby rest area.

Guo Changlin hadn't left, worried that Chen Ping might need him and wouldn't be able to find him. Seeing Chen Ping come out, he immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile: "Dr. Chen, you're awake? Did you rest well?"

"Thank you for your concern, Director Guo. I've had a good rest." Chen Ping nodded politely.

"Are you going out?" Guo Changlin asked immediately, noticing his neat attire.

"Yes, it's a personal matter, I need to go out for a bit," Chen Ping replied.

Guo Changlin immediately replied, "Then I'll take you there. There are a lot of cars in the city at night, so it'll be convenient for me to drive."

"No need to trouble Director Guo. You must be tired after a long day. I can just take a taxi there myself; it's very close," Chen Ping politely declined.

Seeing his resolute attitude, Guo Changlin didn't press him further, but smiled and nodded: "Okay, then be careful. No matter how late you come back tonight, call me anytime, I'll be there."

He adopted an extremely humble posture, remaining modest and polite throughout.

Everyone knows that someone who can be personally and exceptionally valued by the municipal party secretary and whose life was saved and whose major accident was stabilized has an unlimited future. He is willing to take the initiative to befriend him and dares not neglect him in the slightest.

"Thank you." Chen Ping nodded his thanks and turned to walk out of the hotel lobby.

With cars constantly flowing in front of the hotel, Chen Ping hailed a ride-hailing car, gave Cui Ying the address of the private restaurant, and the car smoothly drove away from Tianhai Hotel, speeding towards the city center.

The ride-hailing car drove smoothly all the way, and after more than ten minutes, it came to a steady stop in front of the high-end private restaurant in the city center.

This restaurant has an understated and elegant facade, without any extravagant signs, but it is a well-known high-end banquet venue in Tianhai, and ordinary people simply cannot book a private room.

Chen Ping paid the fare and got out of the car. Following the waiter's directions, he went straight into the private room he had booked in advance.
