Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Capítulo 766: Chapter 740 Rare Fruit

The middle-aged wealthy woman saw the director’s expression and thought he was surprised that the Fan mother and daughter could afford an advanced ward but were eating cheap fruit.

With a mocking expression, she said, “Director Zhou, don’t be fooled. Some people can afford to stay here, but they’re still just poor wretches.”

Director Zhou ignored her words and asked Mrs. Fan, “Where did this fruit come from?”

Being an honest person, Mrs. Fan felt a bit nervous with Director Zhou’s question.

Before she could respond, Ye Chen said, “I brought it. Is there a problem?”

Hearing the young man’s words, Director Zhou looked him up and down, finding it hard to believe.

The middle-aged wealthy woman thought Director Zhou would criticize him for giving patients cheap fruit, saying it was bad for their health.

“Director Zhou, this bag of rotten fruit was indeed brought by that delivery guy; I can prove it,” the middle-aged woman quickly chimed in.

After hearing her, Director Zhou, visibly displeased, said, “Rotten fruit? This bag of fruit is invaluable and is very beneficial for your recovery.”

“How is that possible? It’s clearly a bag of rotten fruit. How can it be invaluable? Director Zhou, stop teasing us,” the middle-aged wealthy woman said incredulously.

When she saw Ye Chen carrying a tattered plastic bag, she didn’t believe it contained anything good.

And when Fan Ying took it out, she saw that the fruit was very small, like it wasn’t ripe, clearly just cheap fruit.

However, seeing the director, who had seen so much, say this, she was indeed a bit doubtful.

“How ignorant.” With that, Director Zhou stopped paying attention to the middle-aged wealthy woman.

He then turned to Ye Chen and asked, “Young man, could I take a look at the fruit in the bag?”

“No problem.” Saying this, Ye Chen got up and handed the tattered bag to Director Zhou.

“That’s it, that’s it,” Director Zhang said to himself, taking a fruit from the bag.

He held the fruit in the palm of his hand, fearing it might fall, as if he were holding something invaluable.

With a trembling voice, Director Zhang looked at Ye Chen and said, “Young man, do you know this fruit is called a Pearl Fruit, with a very low yield, enjoyed exclusively by members of the Y Country’s Royal Family.”

The middle-aged wealthy woman, too shocked, widened her eyes, her jaw dropping in astonishment.

The fashionable girl also had a surprised expression on her face.

Ye Chen, upon hearing this, found it hard to believe himself. He knew President Zhou’s gift was worth a lot, but he didn’t expect it to be so rare.

He knew it was for the royal family, something ordinary people couldn’t even see, let alone eat.

Initially, he thought President Zhou was stingy for just giving him a small box; now, he understood the reason – this fruit was very rare indeed.

The middle-aged wealthy woman still didn’t believe it. If it’s for the royal family, how come Director Zhou saw it? If he hadn’t seen it, how could he say it’s a rare Pearl Fruit?

“Director Zhou, you’ve never seen it before, how can you be sure this is a Pearl Fruit?” the middle-aged wealthy woman asked.

Hearing this, Director Zhou took out his phone, opened a photo, and handed it to the middle-aged wealthy woman, saying, “Last year, when the dean and I were invited to Y Country to treat a royal member, I saw and even got to taste this fruit at their banquet. It was truly delicious.”

As he spoke, Director Zhou fell into memory, swallowing as he thought of the fruit’s taste.

After seeing the photo, the middle-aged wealthy woman instantly believed it.

Faced with the facts, she had no rebuttal and nothing to say.

“Young man, where did you get this Pearl Fruit?” Director Zhou asked, voicing his curiosity.

Ye Chen smiled lightly and said, “It was a gift from a friend.”

“A gift from a friend?” Hearing Ye Chen’s words, not only the middle-aged wealthy woman but even Director Zhou looked surprised.

What a formidable background this friend must have, to give such rare fruit as a gift. The background of the young man in front of them couldn’t be underestimated either.

“Yes, it was just given to me by a friend.” Ye Chen said expressionlessly.

The Fan family mother and daughter were also very shocked upon hearing this. Initially, they thought it was just ordinary fruit, but they didn’t expect to have received royal treatment, leaving them surprised and amazed.

“Ye Chen, this Pearl Fruit is too precious; we can’t accept it. You should take it back,” Mrs. Fan quickly said.

Ye Chen had already helped them a lot, and if they accepted such a valuable gift, she didn’t know how to repay the favor.

“Brother Ye Chen, mom is right, you should take it back,” Fan Ying said before Ye Chen could speak.

“Since I’ve already brought it, it’s meant for Auntie to enjoy. You don’t have to be so polite,” Ye Chen said, smiling at the Fan family mother and daughter.

Director Zhou also admired Ye Chen. Initially, not knowing the rarity of the fruit, giving it as a gift was fine.

But now, even knowing the truth, he insisted on gifting it; his generosity was truly admirable.

It’s truly a world of the wealthy, beyond their understanding.

“Ms. Fan, how are you feeling?” Director Zhou asked Mrs. Fan.

Originally just there to check, seeing the Fan family mother and daughter knew someone of such a powerful background, he definitely wanted to curry favor with them.

Who knows, it might help with future promotions.

“Thank you, Director Zhou, I’m doing well,” Mrs. Fan replied.

“Alright, then I’ll be off. If you feel any discomfort, just call me,” saying this, Director Zhou was about to leave the room.

The middle-aged wealthy woman was upset when Director Zhou didn’t ask about her, feeling ignored. After all, they’re in the same ward, the director shouldn’t be biased, right?

“Director, you haven’t asked about me, I feel…” the middle-aged wealthy woman said with a painful expression.

Before she could finish, Director Zhou impatiently said, “I see you eating and drinking well, you look fine, no issues.” With that, he had already stepped out of the ward.

Feeling Director Zhou’s attitude towards her, the middle-aged wealthy woman fumed, never having received such treatment.

Due to her husband’s status and position, since she arrived at this hospital, aside from the dean, all medical staff had treated her very politely; she had enjoyed VIP treatment. But since Ms. Fan arrived, others’ attitudes had changed, leaving her feeling stifled.

“Wait a moment, Director Zhou,” Ye Chen suddenly called out.

“Young man, is there something you need?” Director Zhou asked curiously.
