Chapter 852: Chapter 741: Attribute Level Upgrade

After saying goodbye to everyone, Yao Shi and Fu Yu prepared to leave.

Ren Yuchang suddenly asked, “Boss Yao, are you heading straight home, or planning to visit the restaurant first?”

Yao Shi hesitated, as they were carrying quite a lot, and certainly needed to go to the restaurant first.

So he replied, “It’s still early, we’ll head to the restaurant first.”

Upon hearing this, Ren Yuchang quickly said, “That’s perfect, hope you don’t mind me and Old Li catching a ride?”

Yao Shi hurriedly replied, “Sure, but are you planning to leave now?”

Ren Yuchang nodded, “Yes, I have two surgeries tomorrow morning, so it’s best to get back early and rest.”

After speaking, he specially explained, “When we came, I knew we would be drinking, so Old Li and I simply didn’t drive over.”

Liu Yiming heard that Ren Yuchang and Li Zongming were leaving and initially wanted to persuade them to stay. But upon hearing that Ren Yuchang had surgeries the next day, he didn’t stop them.

Xia Anni and her agent also followed to see them off at the door.

After saying goodbye, the agent said to Yao Shi, “Boss Yao, see you later then.”

Yao Shi smiled, “Alright, don’t worry, I’m always ready here.”

Xia Anni looked at Fu Yu and asked earnestly, “Chef Fu, can my illness really be cured?”

Fu Yu nodded and said seriously, “Miss Xia, your condition is special, stemming from anorexia which causes a decline in immune function and various physical capabilities, aggravating the illness. I suggest that besides custom herbal cuisine, it’s best to ensure ample rest time daily.”

“Because although herbal cuisine is effective, the treatment takes a long time and shows slow results…”

Fu Yu explained to Xia Anni for quite a while.

The agent nodded and decisively stated that starting after the New Year, he would try to cancel some activities to ensure Xia Anni’s rest.

Upon hearing Fu Yu’s suggestions, Li Zongming agreed completely, saying that treating an illness requires not only nutritional therapy but also ensuring physical rest, otherwise it can’t effectively cure the root cause.

Liu Yiming walked over to Ren Yuchang and Li Zongming and said, “Uncle Ren, Director Li, thank you both for coming over to help tonight.”

Ren Yuchang chuckled, patting Liu Yiming’s shoulder, “If anyone deserves thanks, it should be Chef Fu here. It’s thanks to him that Miss Xia’s condition can be treated effectively.”

Liu Yiming was very familiar with Ren Yuchang, and though the words sounded polite, Ren Yuchang’s expression was genuinely sincere, clearly showing high regard for Fu Yu’s herbal cuisine.

Therefore, Liu Yiming turned to Fu Yu and said, “Chef Fu, thank you for your hard work today. The herbal cuisine you made was excellent. If there’s a need, I’ll order more, and I’ll recommend it to my friends around me!”

Fu Yu was delighted to hear this.

Given Liu Yiming’s network, his support would certainly boost the publicity significantly.

Liu Yiming and Fu Yu exchanged contact information.

After Fu Yu solemnly shook hands with Liu Yiming, he joined Yao Shi to head over to the car.

Liu Yiming and the others personally saw the four off to their car, and watched them drive away.

Ren Yuchang rolled down the car window and waved to Liu Yiming, “Alright, it’s freezing out here, go back inside, and contact me by phone if needed!”

Liu Yiming responded but remained unmoving.

Ren Yuchang watched in the rearview mirror, feeling both comforted and touched.

Li Zongming also glanced back and smiled, “Old Ren, you and Xiaoliu really have a great relationship!”

The car turned a corner and the figure in the rearview mirror was completely out of sight. Ren Yuchang retracted his gaze, “Indeed, I watched this kid grow up, now thinking back, time sure flies!”

Talking about the passage of time, Li Zongming couldn’t help but sigh too, “No doubt, in the blink of an eye, we’ve grown old.”

Recalling something, he suddenly lifted and patted the front passenger seat, “Hey, Xiaofu, you already have nearly two years of work experience, right?”

Fu Yu quickly turned around, “A little over a year and a half.”

Li Zongming nodded, “Your work experience is indeed a bit short, but it’s okay, later I’ll help you inquire if we can make connections at the City Gourmet Association.”

Fu Yu was stunned, not expecting Li Zongming to want to promote him, though he didn’t really need it.

Before he could politely refuse, Li Zongming continued talking to himself, “Actually, I wasn’t very knowledgeable about the culinary field before. It was only this time that Old Ren helped make connections that allowed me to join the National Herbal Cuisine Research Association. Through this, I’ve gained some understanding of the culinary circle.”

“Let me tell you, people in your field are actually similar to us in medicine—you need to progress step by step to attain professional titles, and joining various associations is also a way to network.”

Obtaining professional titles and finding ways to join relevant associations might not seem necessary to ordinary chefs, but for those in the medical system who have climbed up through formal channels, it’s very common and worth focusing on.

After all, a professional title is a strong testament to personal capability, and joining various associations is the way to establish a network.

Li Zongming had a genuine eagerness to mentor Fu Yu, so he spoke from the heart.

Before Fu Yu could explain, Ren Yuchang laughed and said, “Old Li, you might not know, but Xiaofu is planning to join the National Herbal Cuisine Research Association alongside you.”

This matter hadn’t been mentioned to Li Zongming because Fu Yu and Li Zongming weren’t familiar with each other before.

Li Zongming was surprised and asked, “What? Xiaofu is joining the National Herbal Cuisine Association too?”

Ren Yuchang explained, “When Old Liu and Old Xiao visited a couple of days ago, we specifically went to a music restaurant. At that time, Boss Yao personally took us to the back kitchen to observe Xiaofu’s herbal cuisine preparation.”
