"Huh! Isn’t that the Didi driver from just now?" The man in the hospital bed across from them greeted Su Xuan with a look of surprise. It was as if Su Xuan, a Didi driver, had no business being here. "Are you a student of Teacher Wang’s?" the man asked again. His question proved that this wasn’t his first visit to the ward and that he clearly knew Teacher Wang. "Yes," Su Xuan nodded. "Teacher Wang was the kindest teacher I ever had." Hearing this, Teacher Wang beamed. "Su Xuan, you were always my favorite student! The most outstanding one!" "Tsk!" The middle-aged woman in the opposite bed let out a sudden, scornful laugh. "Teacher Wang’s standards must be really high if his most outstanding student ended up as a Didi driver!" Her husband chimed in with a sneer, "A poor teacher makes poor students. A whole nest of paupers!" This left Su Xuan rather bemused. He glanced at Wang Xuehan, asking with his eyes what was going on. He wasn’t actually angry at their behavior. Besides, his willpower had already been strengthened by the System, leaving him very broad-minded. It was difficult for him to get upset over such trifles. Even acquiring the shares from the elderly couple that morning hadn’t caused much of a ripple in his mood. Besides, if he wanted to deal with this pair, it would only take a single thought. Wang Xuehan answered Su Xuan with a look of her own, glancing toward her father’s bed. Su Xuan understood immediately. The couple probably wanted the private room to themselves, which was why they were being so unpleasant to Teacher Wang and him. "Xuehan, the gift box I brought has fruit in it. Can you get some out for Teacher Wang?" Su Xuan said, deciding to ignore the couple. Anyway, Director Ma will be here soon. I’ll just let him handle it. "Of course," Wang Xuehan nodded, opening the gift box. She found it was filled with kiwis, so she peeled one and handed it to her father. Teacher Wang took a bite and immediately lit up. "This is the best kiwi I’ve ever tasted!" Wang Xuehan smiled sweetly. "Dad, I hear that kiwis are very helpful for people with cancer. Su Xuan was so thoughtful to bring these for you." Teacher Wang immediately thanked him. "Thank you, Su Xuan!" Then, he had Wang Xuehan give one to Su Xuan as well. When Su Xuan took a taste, his eyes lit up too. This kiwi is amazing! It’s the best I’ve ever had! I wonder where Shang Lianqing found such delicious ones. He urged Wang Xuehan to try one as well. Wang Xuehan tried it and was equally full of praise. "A bunch of paupers," the woman sneered. "Have they never eaten a kiwi before? Acting like it’s some immortal fruit from heaven!" The couple in the opposite bed had started their mocking again. The woman then turned to her husband. "Honey, our nephew brought us some mulberries this morning. He said he bought them from abroad, and they cost five or six hundred yuan a pound. They’re in the cabinet, go wash some so we can try them." "On it!" The man immediately got the mulberries, washed them, and the couple began to eat. "Wow, these five-hundred-yuan-a-pound mulberries are delicious!" the man exclaimed loudly. "They are! So sweet, I can almost taste grapes!" his wife replied. "I also heard mulberries have anti-cancer properties. They’re good for the liver and kidneys, and they enrich the blood and beautify the skin!" "Our nephew is so thoughtful." While they ate, the couple kept shooting disdainful, sidelong glances at Su Xuan’s group. This made Wang Xuehan and Teacher Wang’s expressions turn sour. They were angry, but more than that, they were worried that Su Xuan would be upset by the insults. Just then, someone arrived at the entrance to the room. Even though the door was open, he still knocked respectfully on the doorframe. Su Xuan looked up and saw it was Director Ma. He gave the director a slight nod. Receiving the signal, Director Ma walked into the room with a broad smile. But before Director Ma could reach Su Xuan, the man from the opposite bed intercepted him, grabbing his hand enthusiastically. "Director Ma! You came! You didn’t have to knock, that’s far too formal between us, isn’t it?" A look of collective disbelief crossed the faces of Director Ma, Su Xuan, Wang Xuehan, and Teacher Wang. The corner of Director Ma’s mouth twitched. I’m here for Boss Su Xuan, not for you, you damn fool! How can you be so shameless, trying to claim this visit is for you?! Director Ma immediately pulled his hand away from the man and approached Su Xuan with a beaming smile. Though there was an empty chair by Teacher Wang’s bed, he didn’t take a seat, instead standing respectfully with his hands at his sides. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙 Su Xuan calmly said a single word to Director Ma: "Sit." "Hehe, of course!" Director Ma immediately sat down. This scene left the couple across the room completely dumbfounded. What is going on? Why is the director being so respectful to a Didi driver? He didn’t even dare to sit down until he was told to? But what came next shocked them even more. When Director Ma saw the kiwi in Su Xuan’s hand, his eyes went wide. In a shocked voice, he exclaimed, "My goodness! Are these Clarence kiwis from New Zealand? They’re worth ten thousand per half-kilogram and are almost impossible to get in the country! Boss, where did you find them?!" The couple across the room sucked in a sharp breath. They were hit with a double shock. First, Su Xuan’s kiwis cost ten thousand a half-kilogram. Second, Director Ma had just called him "Boss"! What on earth is going on? Are we dreaming? This feels so unreal! Su Xuan didn’t even spare the couple a glance. He asked Director Ma, "Are these kiwis really that expensive?" Director Ma nodded emphatically. "Yes. They were cultivated by a man named Clarence in New Zealand. The flesh is a vivid green, the taste is sublime, and they’re packed with vitamins. They have a fruiting period of twelve months, and the cultivation technique is a family secret that’s never been shared. And when I said ten thousand per half-kilogram," he added, "I was referring to US dollars!" Director Ma was quite puzzled. Didn’t you bring these kiwis yourself, Boss? How could you not know the price? You’re probably the only person who would buy fruit this expensive. Little did he know, the kiwis had been a gift to Su Xuan. The couple on the other side of the room gasped again. Ten thousand US dollars... per half-kilogram! You could buy a car with that much money! These kiwis are something else! Compared to them, our mulberries are absolute garbage! GULP. They swallowed hard in unison. I want to try one! I really want to try one! But after how we acted... he would never give us any now... Wang Xuehan and Teacher Wang were also in a state of utter shock. They immediately put down the half-eaten kiwis in their hands. Fruit this precious should be savored. As long as it doesn’t spoil, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to make it last for a month, or even a year! Su Xuan suddenly lowered his voice and asked Director Ma, "What’s the situation with that other bed? Why was another patient added to Teacher Wang’s private room?" Hearing this, a troubled expression appeared on Director Ma’s face...
