Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 194 Review
Director Luo was really happy today. Du Shaojie came to see him as soon as he arrived in Yangcheng, which made him feel very relieved.

He has no desires now, but instead attaches great importance to things that he neglected before, such as family and friendship.

Du Shaojie then talked about his experiences in the past few years, and Director Luo nodded frequently.

"Director Luo, I won't disturb you to rest. I'll come to see you when my sister's leg injury gets better. In addition, I also plan to take some time to go to Shenzhen to see Director Cai."

Du Shaojie sat for an hour or so and then stood up to say goodbye.

"Where do you live? Do you have a phone number? I'll let you know once I've contacted the hospital. Also, please take some time to come to my house for dinner and have a couple of drinks."

Director Luo personally sent him to the door. He would never have been treated like this before.

Du Shaojie left the phone number of the guesthouse. There was no phone in the room, but there was one at the front desk. If there was a call, the waiter would help call someone.

When we got back to the guesthouse, it was already late.

Du Shaojie took a shower and then went into the simulated scene to continue practicing some Huaiyang dishes.

He is not planning to participate in the "Simulated Chef Skills Competition" Group B1 for the time being. After all, all the contestants have the strength of a special first-class chef, and he currently has little chance of winning.

The next day.

Du Shaojie went out early in the morning to buy a wheelchair. It was very troublesome for Xiaomei to use crutches all day long, so it would be much more convenient with a wheelchair.

He found that Yangcheng was indeed the frontier of reform and opening up, and the goods in the shopping malls were much richer than those in Xijiang. However, he did not have time to look around, so he bought a wheelchair and returned to the guesthouse.

Xiaomei was still in class at that moment, so he took the time to call Cai Jing.

Cai Jing was also surprised to hear that he was in Yangcheng.

"Master Du, Director Luo will be very happy if you can visit him. If you have any questions, just go to him. He is free now, so don't worry about him finding it troublesome.

I can't leave these two days, I'll go over there in two days, and then I'll invite Director Luo to have dinner with me."

Cai Jing will be receiving an important businessman in the next two days. After finishing this matter, she will plan to go to Guangzhou.

First, to meet Du Shaojie, and second, to visit the old leader.

"That's great. I'll be waiting for you here."

The two agreed to meet in Yangcheng and then hung up the phone.

Not long after Du Shaojie returned to the room, the waiter came and called him to answer the phone. It was Director Luo who called and said he had already contacted the hospital in the provincial capital and told him who to look for at the hospital.

Du Shaojie kept thanking him, thinking that it was easier to get things done if you had acquaintances.

At about noon, Du Shaojie came to the downstairs of the girls' dormitory with a wheelchair. Many girls felt strange when they saw this handsome man pushing a wheelchair, after all, there was no one in the wheelchair.

"Hello! Are you looking for someone? Tell me the name and I can help you call that person down."

There were also brave girls who ran up and started a conversation.

"Thank you! The person I'm waiting for is here."

Du Shaojie smiled slightly. It was the first time he discovered that in addition to his cooking skills, he could also attract people with his good looks.

While they were talking, Xiaomei and her classmates came over from a distance.

He greeted the girl who was talking to him, then pushed his wheelchair forward.

The girl felt a little regretful that the beautiful encounter ended before they had the chance to get to know each other.

"Brother, where did you get a wheelchair?"

Du Xiaomei also saw her brother. After all, pushing a wheelchair on campus was quite eye-catching.

"Don't worry about where you got it from, just sit on it and try. It's best to stay in bed for a broken bone. If you can't go out, you'll need a wheelchair. Running around with crutches like this will affect your recovery."

Du Shaojie nodded to Xiaomei's classmates. It was obvious that these classmates and roommates were all nice to Xiaomei.

Then he helped Xiaomei sit on the wheelchair and asked, "Are you going back to the dormitory or going to eat?"

Xiaomei hesitated for a moment and decided to go eat first.

Du Shaojie pushed her to the cafeteria. A group of classmates returned to the dormitory, and only Wang Yan, Liu Chuhong and Jiang Xiaoling followed them.

"Wang, Liu, and Jiang, thank you for taking care of my sister during this time. I will treat everyone to a meal tonight, and no one can be absent. Also, Xiaomei, you can invite all the classmates you have a good relationship with, it doesn't matter if there are more people."

Du Shaojie brought up the old matter again, and Wang Yan and the others agreed.

After dinner, Wang Yan and others went back to the dormitory to rest, and Du Shaojie pushed Xiaomei to the guesthouse. The brother and sister had something to say. The school was noisy, but the room was quieter.

"Xiaomei, I have contacted the hospital. I will take you there tomorrow morning. Remember to apply for leave in advance. Also, does the school allow temporary accommodation? If so, I will book a room for you in the guesthouse."

"Brother, it's not good to live outside. I'd better stay in the dormitory. Actually, you don't have to be so nervous. After I fell, I went to the hospital immediately. It will be fine. Oh, I see. I will ask for leave this afternoon."

Du Xiaomei actually didn’t want to go to the hospital. The wound had already been put in a plaster cast, so wouldn’t it be enough to just wait for the wound to heal?

But when she saw Du Shaojie glaring at her, she dared not argue anymore and nodded quickly.

After chatting for a while, Du Shaojie pushed Xiaomei back, and Wang Yan and Jiang Xiaoling took her up.

In the evening, Du Xiaomei called 8 girls and went out to eat with Du Shaojie.

Du Shaojie found a restaurant that looked nice, asked for a private room, and ordered a table of dishes.

Since they were in Guangzhou, they had to eat Cantonese food. He asked everyone for their opinions, but the girls were too embarrassed to order, so he had to make the decision.

Fortunately, he was not unfamiliar with Cantonese cuisine and was quite familiar with it.

When the food and drinks were served, everyone saw that it was really a sumptuous meal and it must have cost a lot of money.

Normally, Du Xiaomei is not noticeable at school. She eats in the cafeteria like everyone else, and her food, clothing and other expenses are similar.

But judging from her brother's behavior, he is clearly a wealthy man.

However, Du Shaojie was very good at adjusting the atmosphere, and after two glasses of beer, everyone started to get familiar with each other.

"I can't stay in Yangcheng for too long, so I have to ask all the students to take good care of Xiaomei. Come, I'll toast to everyone."

Du Shaojie was telling the truth. As long as tomorrow's checkup was fine, he would go back soon.

It was useless for him to stay here during the recovery period, and he had to rely on Xiaomei's roommates and classmates most of the time.

He planned to give everyone some small gifts before leaving. He understood the etiquette of the world.

"Brother, you are too polite!"

Xiaomei's classmates felt a little embarrassed, as they all felt that Du Shaojie was not only polite but also very charming.

Most of them were eating in such a nice restaurant for the first time, except Jiang Xiaoling, who suddenly became very interested in the family background of Du Shaojie and Du Xiaomei.

However, you can't ask this question to his face, you can only pay attention slowly.

After eating and drinking, Du Shaojie pushed Xiaomei and sent the group of girls back to the dormitory.

The next day.

Du Shaojie took Xiaomei to the hospital and found Dr. Lin Wenbin, an orthopedic specialist.

Doctor Lin was very polite, and immediately wrote a prescription, and then took Du Shaojie and his sister to pay for the film. After the film came out, he looked at it very carefully and couldn't help shaking his head.

"From the film, the fracture site is slightly displaced. So I will personally reposition her fracture and then re-cast her. Remember, you must reduce your activity. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, so you must rest well."

Although Dr. Lin did not say it explicitly, it was obvious that the hospital Du Xiaomei had visited before was of a lower standard.

What followed was another hassle: the existing plaster was removed, then repositioned, and then re-plated.

Du Shaojie didn't know how many times he said thank you, which made Doctor Lin a little overwhelmed. He was busy for a long time and finally personally sent the brother and sister out of the hospital gate.

"Du Xiaomei! Is it a joke to have a broken bone? If the treatment is not effective, it will affect your whole life. Look at how capable you are, and you still hid it from your family. When the injury heals, I will show you how I will deal with you."

Back at the guesthouse, Du Shaojie immediately turned hostile.

Pointing at her sister and giving her a lecture, Du Xiaomei lowered her head and dared not say a word.

She also knew that she was careless in this matter. She always thought that the fracture was a minor problem and it would be fine after a period of rest. She didn't expect that after a follow-up examination, there was indeed a problem.

It’s scary to think about it. If I walk with a limp in the future, that would be terrible.

From that day on, Du Xiaomei stopped running around unless necessary. She always used a wheelchair when leaving the dormitory and tried to lie in bed when she didn't have classes.

Her brother gave her a lot of money and told her to eat well.

Du Shaojie only shows up in the afternoon every day, and since he can't accompany his sister to class, he hangs around during the day.

In two days, he not only found a place to buy seafood, but also rented a house. The rental house is very close to the school. It is a self-built house with a two-story building and a yard.

The room is on the second floor and has a bathroom and kitchen, but only one room for sleeping.

Because he was renting the place for a short period of time, the rent was a bit more expensive, but he didn't mind. He planned to stay here for a month, and then take Xiaomei for a checkup. If there was no major problem, he would go home.

The reason for renting here is not to save money on staying in a guesthouse, but to make cooking more convenient.

Xiaomei needed more nutrition to recover from her injuries, but the food in the school cafeteria was definitely not good enough, so he had to cook for himself.

Then, Xiaomei lived a happy life and her body gained weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Brother, are you raising pigs? I eat so well now, but I don't exercise. When my injury heals, I will become a ball."

Du Xiaomei knew that her brother meant well, but as a girl, she also paid great attention to her figure.

"Have a gritted teeth and hold on. Wait until you are fully recovered before losing weight. This way, there will be no sequelae. I will take you back to the dormitory now, and you should have a good rest. I have something to do tonight, so I will pick you up at noon tomorrow."

Du Shaojie was unmoved. In order to avoid any sequelae, what did it matter if he was a little fat?

Cai Jing is coming today, and he is going to Director Luo's house for dinner in the evening. He doesn't have time to take care of Xiaomei, so he asks her to call a few classmates to eat out.

Du Xiaomei pouted but didn't dare to refute her brother and looked depressed.
