Chapter 90: Let's go see the mysterious big shot's grandfather.
The press conference concluded successfully, bringing a busy and stressful day to a close.
Baoguo, however, remained in high spirits, clamoring to go back and savor the unforgettable Peking duck.
Everyone happily went over and sat around the steaming roast duck table, their laughter echoing throughout the private room.
As everyone was enjoying their meal, Brother Lin put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, "We still have to wait for the press conference in a week, so let's not waste these few days. Starting tomorrow, I'll take you all on a tour of Beijing and let you see all the fun places!"
With a large piece of roast duck stuffed in his mouth, Baoguo's cheeks bulged out as he mumbled, "Okay, okay!" His impatient manner made everyone burst into laughter.
At this moment, Yuan Bao frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "I have to visit an elder tomorrow. I'll arrange the rest of the itinerary after I've seen the elder."
"Oh? Which elder are you visiting? I've never heard of any elders in our family in Beijing before." Baoguo finally swallowed the food in his mouth and asked with a face full of curiosity, "Remember to take me with you!"
"Okay, I'll definitely take you. But you must be careful not to be loud and boisterous, and be more composed." Yuan Bao looked at Bao Guo and earnestly instructed him.
"Alright, I know what I'm doing. Don't you trust me?" Baoguo patted his chest and assured him, looking very confident.
Yuan Bao nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Brother Lin and warmly invited, "Brother Lin, why don't you come along too? I'd like to introduce you to Grandpa Chen."
I'm not sure if Boss Chen will be home tomorrow. If he is, you could get to know him; it's a rare opportunity.
Yuan Bao knew that if Brother Lin could establish a connection with Boss Chen, his future career would definitely reach new heights.
"What did you say? Boss Chen? Is it that old man Chen? My God, Yuan Bao, you're amazing!" Brother Lin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Was this something you were already planning when you asked me to help you buy tickets to Beijing last time...?"
Yuan Bao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and he nodded gently.
"Okay, I'll definitely go. This isn't an opportunity that just anyone gets. I couldn't be happier to visit such a big shot!" Little Lin's eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation, filled with longing for the upcoming visit.
After agreeing on the terms, Yuan Bao returned to Xiao Lin's place and called Grandpa Chen. Grandpa Chen was very happy to learn that Yuan Bao had come to Beijing and was planning to visit him the next day.
The next morning, the sunlight gently shone on the earth, draping the entire city in a golden veil.
Yuan Bao, Bao Guo, and Xiao Lin arrived at Old Master Chen's house in high spirits.
From a distance, the mansion still appears majestic and dignified, exuding a unique aura.
Unlike last time, the gate was wide open today, with staff coming and going, and people occasionally coming out to look around.
When they saw Yuan Bao and his group, they immediately ran inside to report.
Not long after, Aunt Rong carefully helped Old Master Chen out, her face beaming with smiles.
Mr. Chen was dressed in a well-tailored Chinese long gown. The moon-white silk fabric had subtle, delicate patterns that were faintly visible in the sunlight, further highlighting his refined and scholarly demeanor.
He was slender yet upright, and the years seemed to have not bent his spine.
Her silver hair was neatly combed back, each strand looking meticulously styled, shimmering with a soft sheen in the sunlight, making her appear exceptionally energetic.
The old man's face was sharply defined, and the years had left deep and shallow wrinkles on his face. These were the marks etched by time, and each wrinkle seemed to tell a story of the past.
His forehead was broad and full, exuding a wisdom that came from experiencing the world.
Although his eyebrows were gray, they were still thick and long. Beneath them were a pair of deep and bright eyes, which conveyed gentleness and kindness. The occasional glint in his eyes also gave people a sense of his imposing presence.
His nose was high and straight, with strong lines, which added a touch of fortitude to his face.
His lips were slightly thin, with a gentle upturn at the corners of his mouth, carrying a warm and welcoming smile that was like a gentle breeze. A neatly trimmed mustache on his chin added to his dignified and elder-like demeanor.
Mr. Chen exudes a unique charm in every gesture, a composure and calmness that comes with the passage of time, inspiring respect in all who behold him.
Yuan Bao hurried forward, gently supporting Grandpa Chen's other arm, and said in a clear and sweet voice, "Grandpa, it's been a long time! Look at your complexion, so rosy, and you look healthier and healthier!"
"Haha, yes, yes!" Old Master Chen laughed heartily, his laughter filled with joy and satisfaction. "I'm feeling better and better now, eating well and sleeping soundly every day, and I'm in good health! It's all thanks to you, Yuan Bao!"
Yuan Bao turned to Aunt Rong with a smile and said, "Aunt Rong, you're getting more and more beautiful!"
Aunt Rong smiled warmly and said, "Of course! Now that my husband is healthier, I don't have to worry about him as much, so he's naturally getting better and better."
"Come on, come on, let's go inside and have a good chat!" Old Master Chen warmly invited everyone.
Afterwards, the old man led everyone into the mansion.
As soon as Bao Guo stepped into the courtyard, he was instantly stunned by the scene before him.
The courtyard is deep and seems to stretch to the horizon. The carved beams and painted rafters are exquisite, and every detail exudes luxury and elegance.
His eyes widened in surprise, and his mouth formed an "O" shape. He barely managed to keep himself from making a sound.
His eyes sparkled with excitement as he looked around curiously, as if he were in a dream world, unable to take it all in.
The three of them went straight to the courtyard where the old man lived. It was quiet and elegant, with lush flowers and trees, and a faint fragrance of flowers.
With a friendly smile on his face, Yuan Bao first introduced Brother Lin and Bao Guo to Grandpa Chen and Aunt Rong.
After the introductions, Yuan Bao turned slightly to face Grandpa Chen and Aunt Rong, his eyes full of tenderness and respect, and said in an orderly manner: "Grandpa, Aunt Rong, this is my eldest brother Bao Guo, who has always taken good care of me; this is Brother Xiao Lin, we are currently working together on a very meaningful project."
As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Lin stepped forward and respectfully presented the carefully prepared vision recovery medicine to Old Master Chen with both hands.
His eyes were focused and sincere as he said, "Mr. Chen, I have long admired your name. This is just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you will accept it."
Yuan Bao then explained with a smile, "Grandpa, this is the vision restoration medicine that Xiao Lin and I jointly developed."
We've been busy preparing for its official launch, and this trip to Beijing is also because of this project.
I thought you and your family might find it useful, so I'm bringing you some samples to try.
It has a significant effect on improving various vision problems, and many users have given very positive feedback.
Aunt Rong's eyes widened slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in them. She quickly said, "Wow! Yuan Bao, so you were involved in developing that vision restoration medicine that's been all the rage these past few days!"
"No wonder! I was wondering why the results sounded so amazing. With your involvement, the results are bound to be fantastic."
Grandpa Chen nodded slightly, a gratified smile appearing on his face, his eyes full of appreciation: "Oh, really! I've seen related reports in the newspaper, saying that this medicine is very effective and can help many people solve their eye problems."
Yuan Bao, you are truly remarkable! To create something so meaningful is a wonderful thing that benefits everyone!
Grandpa Chen's face beamed with joy, and he nodded repeatedly, saying, "Good, good! Tonight we'll all try this miraculous vision-restoring medicine."
I've been plagued by presbyopia for years; even reading a newspaper is a struggle. I've been hoping for a solution for a long time, and it seems there's finally hope!
Aunt Rong, beaming from ear to ear, excitedly chimed in, "Yes, although my eyesight isn't bad enough to warrant glasses, after looking at things for a long time..."
My vision was blurry easily, and my eyes always felt tired. Now, thanks to the medicine Yuan Bao brought, things will be a bit easier.
Yuan Bao smiled and patiently added, "Grandpa, Aunt Rong, please don't worry about using it. Under normal circumstances, you can see obvious results in three to seven days. If you need more, or if you run out of medicine, just ask Brother Lin."
Brother Lin nodded quickly, a humble smile on his face, and said sincerely, "That's right, Grandpa Chen, Aunt Rong, if you need anything, just give me a call, and I promise to deliver the medicine to you as soon as possible." As he spoke, he handed over his business card with both hands, the information on it clearly displayed.
Grandpa Chen took the business card, looked at it carefully, and then warmly invited, "Okay, okay! Then everyone stay for dinner tonight."
Chen will be back tonight too. He'll be overjoyed to know Yuan Bao is at our house. Let's all get together!
Night fell like a soft black veil, slowly enveloping the entire city. As the lights came on, Old Master Chen's mansion appeared even more welcoming under the illumination.
Inside the restaurant, a spacious mahogany round table is laden with a sumptuous feast, its aroma filling the air, each dish seemingly telling the story of the host's dedication.
Yuan Bao, Bao Guo, and Xiao Lin took their seats in turn at the warm invitation of Grandpa Chen.
Grandpa Chen sat in the main seat, a kind smile on his face. His gaze swept over everyone as if he were looking at his own younger generation, his eyes full of affection.
"Come on, everyone, don't be shy, try the dishes on this table, they were all specially prepared for you." Old Master Chen raised his wine glass and said in a loud voice.
Everyone raised their glasses, smiled at each other, and then took a small sip.
Looking at the delicious food on the table, Baoguo could no longer contain his joy. He picked up a piece of braised pork knuckle with a bright red color, put it in his mouth, and his face instantly showed a satisfied expression: "Wow, this braised pork knuckle is so delicious! The pork knuckle is stewed until it is soft and flavorful, not greasy at all, and melts in your mouth."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Chen burst into laughter: "Eat as much as you like, and come anytime you want to eat it."
At this moment, Aunt Rong smiled and served everyone a bowl of soup, saying, "Try this soup. It's made with an old hen and various precious ingredients and has been simmered for several hours. It's very nutritious."
Yuan Bao took the soup bowl and said softly, "Thank you, Aunt Rong."
Just then, the restaurant door was gently pushed open, and a man in his forties with an extraordinary air walked in.
He was tall and straight, dressed in a well-tailored suit, and his eyes revealed the demeanor, sharpness, and wisdom unique to those in positions of authority.
