Chapter 103: Courtyard Barbecue (4)

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

She had skewered thinly sliced truffles and carefully selected beef together. Then, she roasted them on the barbecue grill.

Although Zhai Yunsheng couldn’t eat too much greasy food, it was still okay to eat an appropriate amount of lean meat. It wasn’t fair if he wasn’t allowed to eat any.

Jian Yiling placed tin foil on the barbecue grill before placing sliced up morels and lobster balls on the foil. Then she added XO sauce1, minced garlic, and other seasonings to the morels and lobster balls. Once she finished preparing the seasoning, she wrapped up the tin foil. The foil could help preserve the heat and fragrance.

After a while, she opened the foil and a wonderful fragrance floated out.

Before she finished cooking, she added kale in the dish as well.

When Jian Yiling had finished with all the preparation of food, she placed everything on a western-styled plate. The plate contained the roasted mushrooms, the truffle and meat skewers, and the morels with lobster balls.

Finally, she garnished the plate with a few cherry tomatoes.

The plate was overflowing with fragrance and appeared to look incredibly exquisite.

Yu Xi suddenly had a craving for the food on that plate. He felt that he didn’t want to eat the lamb skewers in his hands anymore.

Zhai Yunsheng took the plate of food that Jian Yiling handed him. He slowly began to sample the food.

Both Yu Xi and Jian Yujie stared at the plate longingly. However, Zhai Yunsheng pretended not to see them.

As Jian Yiling was cooking the food, her phone kept ringing in her pocket.

At first, she didn’t plan to answer. However, after a while, her phone rang again.

As a result, Jian Yiling had to temporarily stop what she was doing. She took out her phone to see who had been calling her.

She saw that people from the medical institution had been contacting her. They had sent her a few messages already. As she hadn’t replied, the other party started to call her.

It appeared as though they seemed quite anxious.

Jian Yiling sent a single character as a response: [?]

[Oh my god, you finally replied!]

[?]

[I contacted you because of an urgent matter. Do you remember the case I sent you a while ago? Mr. Qiu from the field of medical science just contacted our deputy. They sincerely want us to accept the case. If you were to accept and succeed in completing this operation, it will greatly help your reputation in the industry in the future.]

Mr. Qiu was a renowned figure in the field of medical science. Whilst he specialized in treating tumors, he still held a position of great status and could influence the entire medical industry.

[No, we wait.]

[Mr. Qiu hopes that you give the correct response. This is because the earlier the surgery is done, the better the effect will be.]

The person of contact relayed the information to Jian Yiling.

[No rush. Otherwise, I won’t accept it.]

When it came to matters regarding work, Jian Yiling had her own judgment and way of handling things.

Her decision wasn’t going to be influenced by anyone else.

Once Jian Yiling replied to the message, she placed her phone back into her pocket. She went back to the grill to continue roasting things.

Within two minutes, Grandpa Jian’s phone rang.

Not many people knew of Grandpa Jian’s phone number. The person who usually contacted him was his assistant.

Other than his family, there were not many people who could directly call Grandpa Jian’s phone.

When his phone rang, Grandma Jian, Jian Shuxing, Wen Nuan, and even Jian Yunnao turned around to look at him anxiously.

Grandpa Jian accepted the phone call. On the other end, there was the voice of an old man:

“I’m so sorry Grandpa Jian. I didn’t manage to convince the other party.”

When Grandpa Jian heard this, he went silent for a moment.

Mr. Qiu was rather well known in the medical industry.

So many people wanted to be his student. Even if they didn’t specialize in the tumor section, most people would have heard of his name.

Due to that, a normal person would have agreed to his request.

He hadn’t expected the other party to reject Mr. Qiu’s request.
