The owner of this villa is named Zhang Jiade, and he has been an old friend of Ning Zhongguo for many years.
The two get along well with each other and often help each other in business, so they can be regarded as one of Ning Zhongguo's best friends.
Both of them are older, so Zhang Jiade, like Ning Zhongguo, stepped aside early and let his eldest son take charge of the entire company's operations.
Zhang Jiade has two sons. The eldest son is responsible for everything in the company and is so busy that he is often invisible.
Although the younger son is much less capable, he is better because of his filial piety. After Zhang Jiade fell ill, he stopped going out to play and stayed with Zhang Jiade all day long, so he was a real filial son.
As soon as Ning Zhongguo and Chen Xi arrived at the door of the villa, Zhang Jiade's youngest son Zhang Hongyuan came to greet them with a big smile.
"Uncle Ning, long time no see, you are still as energetic as ever."
As Zhang Hongyuan spoke, he politely stood aside and bent down to make a gesture of invitation.
"You kid, your mouth is much sweeter than before."
Ning Zhongguo had watched Zhang Hongyuan grow up, so he was not polite to him. He patted his shoulder with a smile, then pointed sideways at Chen Xi and introduced solemnly: "This is Mr. Chen, my A lifesaver, a master of medical skills..."
Speaking of this, Ning Zhongguo's voice suddenly became much softer, and he secretly said to Zhang Hongyuan: "Just because Mr. Chen looks about the same age as you, you can't be negligent at all..."
With the lessons learned from Ning Qiutong, Ning Zhongguo is now afraid of being bitten by a snake for ten years, so the first thing he does is to give Zhang Hongyuan a warning.
With Ning Zhongguo's solemn reminder, Zhang Hongyuan naturally did not dare to show any contempt, so he immediately stretched out his right hand and said enthusiastically: "I don't know if a distinguished guest is here. I hope Mr. Chen won't be surprised."
You're welcome." Chen Xi shook hands with Zhang Hongyuan like a dragonfly touching the water.
His attitude made Zhang Hongyuan's eyes slightly surprised, but he was also a thoughtful person, so he didn't show any dissatisfaction.
Zhang Jiade's behavior is somewhat different from Ning Zhongguo's.
Entering the villa, Chen Xi saw several middle-aged women who looked like servants busy going back and forth, and two strong men in suits dressed as bodyguards patrolling back and forth on the second floor.
Zhang Jiade was sitting in front of the fireplace in the living room, seemingly still looking at some documents.
When he saw Zhang Hongyuan leading Ning Zhongguo and Chen Xi over, he immediately wanted to stand up, but the moment he stood up, he immediately sat back on the chair, then covered his calves with an expression on his face. Very painful.
"Dad!"
Zhang Hongyuan immediately ran over and shouted at several servants: "Quick! My dad is sick again. Get hot water!"
When Ning Zhongguo saw this, he immediately followed him, then stood beside him and asked with concern: "Old Zhang, what's going on?"
"Hiss...it's okay, it's okay, I have the same old problem...cramps, leg pain...hiss, Lao Ning, sit down quickly, it'll be fine in just a moment..."
Zhang Jiade's expression was very painful, but he still raised his head and forced a very forced smile towards Ning Zhongguo.
Only those who have experienced cramps can understand Zhang Jiade's pain at this moment. Ning Zhongguo immediately looked at Chen Xi as if asking for help, but Chen Xi slowly shook his head.
Ning Zhongguo was a little puzzled, but Chen Xi did not give any explanation.
Seeing this, he could only sigh, and then nervously sat on the sofa next to him.
The scientific name for cramps is muscle spasm, which is a spontaneous tonic contraction of muscles. Muscle spasms that occur in the calves and toes are the most common. There are several main reasons for the onset.
1: Cold stimulation, entering the water without doing warm-up exercises, this is the most likely situation to cause cramps, or sleeping at night, exposing the legs outside the quilt, and being stimulated by the cold.
2: Not enough rest, or too much rest, can cause cramps.
3: The sleeping posture is incorrect.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is only a few days away, and the recent average temperature in Zhonghai is around 26 degrees. No wonder the old Zhang family will light the fireplace in this weather. Looking at his posture, he is afraid that the cramps are becoming more and more frequent.
And precisely because of the frequency, not more than 30 seconds after Zhang Hongyuan yelled for hot water, a middle-aged woman hurriedly ran out carrying a 40-50 cm high footbath.
"Dad, come on, put your legs down and iron them."
Zhang Hongyuan took the bucket from the middle-aged woman, then squatted on the ground, immediately rolled up Zhang Jiade's trousers, and then carefully put his legs into the bucket.
When he was cramping, it would hurt even if he moved slightly. In addition, the temperature near the fireplace was too high, so Zhang Jiade immediately started sweating profusely.
Zhang Hongyuan washed Zhang Jiade's feet with a towel, while Ning Zhongguo and Chen Xi watched silently.
In terms of seriousness, Zhang Jiade's illness may not be more serious than Ning Zhongguo's.
But his illness was simply a torment, so Ning Zhongguo frowned as he watched.
Zhang Hongyuan silently washed his father's feet and kept wiping his calves with hot water. After more than ten minutes, Zhang Jiade finally let out a long sigh and lay down on the chair weakly. superior.
"Old Ning, I made you laugh..."
Zhang Jiade recovered for a moment, then raised the back of his chair and said a feeble polite word.
This chair is very high-end, it looks like a wheelchair or a recliner.
"How are you? Do you feel better?"
"It's better, it's okay, I've long been used to it..."
After taking a rest, Zhang Jiade controlled the chair, slid in front of Ning Zhongguo, and said helplessly: "The calf cramp has been resolved. You have never seen me have a headache. That makes me want to die... Lao Ning, you don’t know that because of this disease, I am now suffering from depression. I am so indifferent that I dare not even step out of the door for fear of being killed. You get sick when you go out..."
"Old Zhang..."
Ning Zhongguo glanced at him with a complicated expression, and was about to comfort him with a few words and introduce Chen Xi to him, when Zhang Jiade suddenly had a sad look in his eyes, and then sighed softly: "I wanna die……"
Hearing this, Ning Zhongguo's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Those who have cancer are not necessarily as sad as you. I have invited a miracle doctor for you. I don't believe that you can survive this disease." It can stump Mr. Chen!”
After saying that, Ning Zhongguo made a gesture of invitation towards Chen Xi and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Chen, I have to trouble you to check him out."
Zhang Jiade knew very well what Ning Zhongguo was like, so when he saw Ning Zhongguo's serious face and looked at the young man with an expression of great respect, he couldn't help but feel a sense of expectation in his heart.
Lao Ning never joked about important matters. If this young man could make him so respectful, he might have some skills.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jiade sat up with difficulty and said politely: "Mr. Chen, let me tell you about my situation first..."
Hearing this, Chen Xi shook his head and said, "No need, I already understand your situation."
"Ah?" Zhang Jiade was stunned for a moment, and then asked suspiciously: "You...know about my condition?"
"Right."
Chen Xi nodded, and what he said next made Ning Zhongguo and Zhang Jiade's expressions change drastically.
"You are not sick, you are very healthy."
