I quickly prepared a Deluxe Pancake Roll and handed it to him, collecting the payment. He devoured it hungrily, as if he hadn't eaten in a while.
At that moment, a black Maybach pulled up in front of the Jianbing stall. Gu Yuanshan stepped out of the car and walked straight up to me, handing me a Black Card. "This card has no limit. From now on, you will only make Jianbing Guozi for Bai Qianchen every day." Gu Yuanshan's tone was firm and left no room for doubt, his slightly raised chin revealing an inherent arrogance.
I took the Black Card, a barely noticeable smile appearing at the corner of my mouth as I placed it into the cash box. "Sure, but my rule is first come, first served." I pointed to the crowd waiting in line. "You see, there are so many people waiting."
Gu Yuanshan frowned, glancing around at the line of people before impatiently pulling out his phone and dialing a number. His voice was cold as he issued an order: "Notify all employees of Gu Group to come to this Jianbing stall tomorrow morning to buy Jianbing Guozi." He hung up the phone and looked at me provocatively, confidence radiating from his gaze.
I smiled lightly, unfazed, and continued making Jianbing. The sizzling sound of oil on the griddle filled the air with an enticing aroma that made those in line swallow hard.
Suddenly, an ambulance screeched to a halt beside the Jianbing stall. A doctor in a white coat rushed over. "Dr. Xie, we urgently need you for a surgery at the hospital!"
The doctor was sweating profusely, his tone anxious as he barely had time to wipe away the beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.
I handed my spatula to the stall owner. "Sorry, I have an urgent matter and need to leave." I removed my apron and calmly walked toward the ambulance.
"Wait!" Gu Yuanshan grabbed my arm forcefully. "Your Jianbing Guozi isn't finished yet!" His tone was commanding, seemingly forgetting his earlier provocation. The air around us felt tense as everyone watched.
I gently brushed his hand aside. "Lives are at stake, President Gu. Surely you understand that?" My tone was calm, but there was a hint of mockery in my eyes. Gu Yuanshan paused for a moment before releasing his grip, his expression darkening.
I hurried into the ambulance as it sped away, leaving Gu Yuanshan standing there with a grim face. The trees along the street rushed past us, and the streetlights cast dappled shadows on the window.
"Dr. Xie, this surgery is very complicated; the patient's condition is critical..." The doctor explained the patient's situation while driving, his tone serious. I listened intently, nodding occasionally as I began formulating a surgical plan in my mind.
Upon arriving at the hospital, I immediately changed into my surgical gown and walked into the operating room. The atmosphere inside was tense, with various instruments emitting rhythmic beeping sounds. I took a deep breath and began this race against time. The surgical lights were bright and glaring, illuminating my focused expression. Every movement I made was precise and swift, as if I were a finely tuned machine.
Several hours later, the surgery was successfully completed. I removed my mask and wearily exited the operating room. "Dr. Xie, you truly have a miraculous touch!" the Head Nurse exclaimed as she rushed over to shake my hand. Her eyes were red-rimmed, filled with gratitude.
I smiled lightly, "It's my duty." I gently pulled my hand away and headed toward the changing room. The corridor was empty, with only the sound of my footsteps echoing.
After changing back into my clothes, I stepped out of the hospital's main entrance. The night had deepened, and the streets were sparsely populated, illuminated only by the dim glow of streetlights. I hailed a taxi and provided the address of Gu Yuanshan's villa.
"Miss, what are you going there for?" the driver asked curiously, glancing at me through the rearview mirror. I smiled lightly, "To collect some money." My tone was casual, as if I were just going grocery shopping. Outside the window, the city's nightscape receded in a blur, with colorful neon lights weaving together into a mesmerizing halo.
Upon reaching the villa, I rang the doorbell. Moments later, Gu Yuanshan opened the door and seemed taken aback upon seeing me.
"What are you doing here?" he asked coldly, with a hint of wariness in his voice. I pulled out the Black Card from my bag and handed it to him. "President Gu, as per our agreement, I'm here today only to prepare Jianbing Guozi for Miss Bai. However, I've been delayed by you; shouldn't you compensate me for this loss?" My tone was calm, with a trace of mockery in my gaze.
Gu Yuanshan took the Black Card with a dark expression, remaining silent.
I turned to leave, leaving Gu Yuanshan standing at the door with a complex look on his face.
