Before they knew it, the day had arrived for Zhang Dong to deliver the Chinese cabbage as stipulated in the contract with Yang Mingyan. 520 Official Website

After a few days, the neighbors' curiosity and envy over the sudden good fortune of the Zhang siblings had faded considerably.
In the countryside, it was like this: all sorts of family matters and trivial affairs were like the wind.
When the wind blew, it could make the whole village roar.
When the wind passed, it could also make the whole village quiet down.
Zhang Dong had ripened a hundred heads of Chinese cabbage the night before, loaded them onto the truck, and delivered them to Dongzhou Restaurant the next morning after breakfast.
The payment was settled, and Zhang Dong had an extra 15,000 yuan in his pocket!
In the past, their family might not have been able to save that much money in a whole year, but now it only took a week to earn it. The thought of it made Zhang Dong feel happy.
Moreover, his sister probably wouldn't keep nagging and worrying anymore.
With a heart full of joy, Zhang Dong counted the money and was about to leave when Vice President Ma stopped him with a smile.
"Brother Zhang, our President Yang has instructed that you come to her office. She has something to discuss with you."
Hearing this, Zhang Dong immediately guessed what Yang Mingyan wanted to talk about—it was most likely about treating her hypoglycemia!
In fact, Yang Mingyan was indeed there for this reason!
Since the last time Zhang Dong treated her at his home, Yang Mingyan hadn't had an episode for several days!
Previously, she would almost always have an episode every day and had to carry sugar with her at all times.
But during those few days, she didn't have a single episode, even when she was too busy to eat and didn't show any symptoms of hypoglycemia!
Since she had hypoglycemia, this was the first time Yang Mingyan had experienced such a situation.
It was clearly the effect of Zhang Dong's treatment!
Moreover, according to Zhang Dong, as long as she persisted with the treatment for about ten to eight sessions, she could completely cure her hypoglycemia!
That was exactly what Yang Mingyan had been dreaming of!
However, thinking about the embarrassing treatment method, which involved Zhang Dong looking at her stomach and touching it, made Yang Mingyan's face flush and her ears turn soft.
She was a well-known cold and aloof boss who usually didn't show any kindness to men, but now she had to actively ask Zhang Dong to touch her, which was truly shameful.
While Yang Mingyan was struggling with her thoughts in her office, Vice President Ma brought Zhang Dong in.
Seeing Zhang Dong again, Yang Mingyan remembered what had happened that day, and her face turned red. But with Vice President Ma beside her, she had to adjust her mood and act as if nothing had happened.
"Zhang Dong, you're here! Please, have a seat!"
After Vice President Ma left, Yang Mingyan sat opposite Zhang Dong.
Looking at Zhang Dong's handsome face, she suddenly felt that he was quite good-looking, the more she looked, the better he seemed.
Feeling a bit uncomfortable under Yang Mingyan's cold and beautiful gaze, Zhang Dong coughed involuntarily.
Realizing this, Yang Mingyan's face turned red again, and she quickly tried to make small talk.
"Um, your Chinese cabbage is really excellent! All my customers praise it, especially the regulars. Now, every time they come, they order Chinese cabbage, and many have become regulars because of it."
Zhang Dong smiled, deeply understanding the magic of the Chinese cabbage.
"That's great! It's beneficial for both President Yang and me."
After saying that, he fell silent, waiting for Yang Mingyan to speak.
Yang Mingyan had to make small talk for a few more sentences.
Seeing that Zhang Dong seemed somewhat disinterested, she felt a bit sad.
With such a beautiful woman in front of her, other men would be eager to get closer and talk more, but Zhang Dong was like this.
Feeling a bit wronged, Yang Mingyan didn't think that just a few days ago, she had considered Zhang Dong a lecher.
Clearly sensing Zhang Dong's coldness, Yang Mingyan had no choice but to get straight to the point and talk about her hypoglycemia.
"It's strange, my hypoglycemia hasn't been acting up much in the past few days, only in the last one or two days has it returned."
Zhang Dong nodded and said, "President Yang, remember to always have sugar on hand. Hypoglycemia can't do without sugar."
Hearing this, Yang Mingyan was momentarily speechless, feeling a lump in her chest.
She had said so much, couldn't Zhang Dong at least say that it was all thanks to his treatment and offer to continue treating her?
Unbeknownst to her, Zhang Dong was worried that if he brought up the treatment, Yang Mingyan might think he was trying to take advantage of her.
Moreover, the treatment for hypoglycemia initially only required acupuncture and massage on the abdomen, but in the later stages, it also required acupuncture and massage around the Zhongzhu point.
The Zhongzhu point was right in the middle of the deep valley formed by Yang Mingyan's two high peaks!
Considering this, Zhang Dong was worried about being misunderstood, so he didn't pick up on Yang Mingyan's hints.
Yang Mingyan continued to make small talk, but seeing that Zhang Dong wouldn't take the initiative to offer treatment, she finally gave up.
She was too embarrassed to ask Zhang Dong to treat her with acupuncture and massage.
Thus, when Zhang Dong left, Yang Mingyan didn't say her true intentions and could only watch him go with a resentful look.
Although Zhang Dong didn't initially understand Yang Mingyan's intentions, he eventually caught on.
However, even though he understood, his worries didn't decrease.
Riding his tricycle back to the village, he vaguely saw Zhou Ning coming out of the village's small store.
Zhou Ning was still dressed fashionably, but the arrogance in her eyes had diminished, clearly affected by the incident a few days ago.
Seeing Zhang Dong, Zhou Ning was taken aback for a moment, then she walked up to him.
"Zhang Dong, thank you so much for what you did the other day! If it weren't for you, my family would have been dragged down by me," Zhou Ning said with a bitter smile.
Zhang Dong smiled and waved his hand. "It's nothing, we're all from the same village, so helping out is only natural. By the way, are you still working for Boss Lin?"
Zhou Ning nodded and then shook her head.
"I'm still working for Boss Lin, but I'm no longer a waitress. I've switched to logistics, so I don't have to be in the public eye. The pay isn't much, but it's more peaceful."
Although the chance of something like that happening again was small, walking by the river, you're bound to get wet eventually. In this line of work, something would eventually go wrong!
Zhou Ning had never experienced such an incident before, so she hadn't been cautious.
But this lesson made her realize that her value was limited to pleasing customers.
Hearing this, Zhang Dong felt a bit moved.
Zhou Ning's transformation was something he hadn't expected.
Giving her an approving smile, Zhang Dong encouraged her, "That's great! Keep it up!"
Because of the sensitive nature of Zhou Ning's previous work, they spoke in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, to avoid being overheard by other villagers.
But while the villagers couldn't hear them, they could still see!
