Ling Zhenfei entrusted everything about Xi Shan Restaurant to Yang Zixuan and Zhou Tong, making sure they took care of everything, checked for flaws, and started trial runs of the dishes.

After tomorrow, Xue Fei and Bai Lin would return after completing their training. They were master chefs in Chinese cuisine, and the restaurant could only be considered complete with their return.

Since he would be away for at least two days, Ling Zhenfei was still a bit worried, fearing that something might go wrong in Binyang during his absence.

However, worrying wouldn't help; he still had to go out. He couldn't forsake other things for Xi Shan Restaurant.

At night, Ling Zhenfei stayed in He Lingxiu's rented house and, as usual, slept hugging her all night.

Sleeping next to a beautiful woman without anything happening was quite challenging for Ling Zhenfei. He was slightly worried that he might not be able to resist at some point.

As He Lingxiu said, she would be his sooner or later, but Ling Zhenfei just couldn't get over that hurdle for some reason. He didn't even know what he was worried about.

He Lingxiu was really too innocent, thinking that liking someone meant she could give up everything for him. But this world was far too complicated compared to her simple view.

Ling Zhenfei could only let He Lingxiu slowly adapt to this society and couldn't force too much on her.

Early the next morning, Ling Zhenfei took He Lingxiu on a train to the Provincial City. They didn't talk much and quickly arrived at their destination.

Upon arrival, He Lingxiu was even more astonished. She thought Binyang was already quite good, but only realized upon seeing the Provincial City that it was much more prosperous.

At the train station entrance, Bai Ling was waiting for Ling Zhenfei, feeling like she hadn't seen him in ages.

They really hadn't seen each other in a long time. Ling Zhenfei missed Bai Ling a lot, as their relationship was very close.

But as Bai Ling hugged Ling Zhenfei, she noticed He Lingxiu standing beside him, making her face reveal a hint of surprise.

Bai Ling let go of Ling Zhenfei and then asked, "Who's this little sister?"

Ling Zhenfei quickly introduced Bai Ling and He Lingxiu. Bai Ling was his manager, and He Lingxiu was his apprentice. However, despite the accuracy of the introduction, neither woman believed the other's role.

Bai Ling didn't say much, but her expression said it all.

Back in Binyang, Bai Ling and Yang Zixuan had an agreement to support each other. They had analyzed the girls around Ling Zhenfei at that time.

They knew He Lingxiu was a unique presence. The two were childhood friends, with a simple but strong connection, making her the biggest competitor.

Initially, Bai Ling thought despite He Lingxiu's advantages, she was just a rural girl. But seeing her now, she realized He Lingxiu was not only pretty but also had the innocence and purity of a rural girl.

This gave Bai Ling a great sense of unease, clearly seeing that the relationship between Ling Zhenfei and He Lingxiu wasn't simple.

Bai Ling drove them directly to the Provincial First Hospital, a prestigious hospital in the Provincial City.

It was a well-known and reputable hospital. The fact that it agreed to collaborate with Ling Zhenfei showed his significant influence in the industry.

Upon arrival, the hospital leaders were already waiting at the entrance for Ling Zhenfei.

Along with the hospital leaders, many of Ling Zhenfei's fans who had gotten wind of his visit were also present.

Ling Zhenfei's plan to treat the patient who received the most votes was already widespread online. Although he tried to keep the treatment time hidden, it couldn't be completely concealed.

As a result, the entrance of the Provincial First Hospital was packed with fans and many reporters capturing the moment. Paparazzi were always keen to get the scoop.

Fortunately, the hospital had taken good security measures, with lots of security guards keeping the fans at bay, preventing them from getting too close to Ling Zhenfei's car.

Bai Ling had evidently arranged everything. At the entrance, she stopped the car because the crowd was too big to drive through, so they had to get out at the entrance.

Upon stepping out, Ling Zhenfei's fans went wild, shouting his name. It wasn't until Ling Zhenfei waved to them that they finally quieted down.

Bai Ling first introduced Ling Zhenfei to the person greeting him, Director Gu Ziwei of the Provincial First Hospital.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Ling Zhenfei thanked Director Gu for his support.

While they chatted, the fans began pushing forward to get closer to Ling Zhenfei for autographs and photos.

Even with security guards, the sheer number of enthusiastic fans made it hard for them to maintain control as the fans grew more excited. The guards were reaching their limits.

Knowing he had to intervene, especially with reporters around, Ling Zhenfei didn't want any major incidents that would have a significant impact.

"Everyone, please quiet down and listen to me," Ling Zhenfei called out to the crowd.

Infusing his voice with a bit of the Northern Spiritual Energy, Ling Zhenfei's voice carried far, making it audible even over the noise, quickly bringing the crowd to silence.

Seeing the quiet surroundings, Ling Zhenfei continued, "Hello, everyone, I'm Ling Zhenfei. Thank you for your support and affection. If you are my fans, then you surely know the purpose of my visit today.

Every month, a patient selected by fans receives free treatment. This month's patient, whom many of you are familiar with, is a little girl with leukemia. She's very young to be suffering from such a severe illness, which is why you all voted for her.

Now that I'm here, please don't delay the process and risk missing the optimal treatment time. I hope you all head home now."

As soon as Ling Zhenfei finished speaking, the crowd quieted, then erupted in applause, appreciating his words and his presence.

The fans voluntarily made way, allowing Ling Zhenfei, He Lingxiu, and Bai Ling to head towards the hospital entrance.

The crowd on both sides held phones or cameras, capturing images of the three walking in the lead.

Even the hospital Director, Gu Ziming, followed behind them, making Ling Zhenfei look like a victorious general returning from battle, receiving the people's admiration.
