Grandpa Liu was clearly taken aback, and turned to look at Li Kaixin beside him, his eyes full of inquiry.

"Grandpa Liu, why are you staring at me like that?" Li Kaixin felt a little uneasy under his gaze.

He never expected that the old man who had just asked the question would be Station Chief Zhao's father.

Old Master Liu didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the point:

"Hey, Happy Little Comrade, what did you feed Old Zhao? That old guy looked sickly just a few days ago, but now he's got more energy than any of us."

Seeing this, Li Kaixin took out a medicine bottle from his pocket and placed it on the stone table.

"Grandpa Liu, this is what Grandpa Zhao eats. It has health benefits and can improve physical fitness. It's also the gift I brought for you today."

He originally planned to give it to them privately, but now that Old Master Zhao had brought it up, there was no need to hide it anymore.

Upon seeing this, the old man with thick eyebrows and big eyes immediately reached out to take it, but was slapped away by Old Master Liu.

"Old Hong, what are you trying to do? Didn't you hear that this is a congratulatory gift from Comrade Kaixin?" Old Master Liu said, holding the medicine bottle in his hand.

Old Master Hong withdrew his hand and chuckled sheepishly, "Old Chief, I was just curious, wasn't I?"

The other elderly people at the table were also staring intently at the medicine bottle in Grandpa Liu's hand.

At their current age and status, isn't their health the most important thing?

Old Master Zhao, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but suggest, "Old Chief, how about I try a few for you, wait a few days and see the effect, then you can take them?"

The bottle his son gave him last time was empty just yesterday. Now that he sees a new one, he can't help but have some other thoughts.

"Yes, yes! Old Zhao is right."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Hong quickly chimed in, "Old Chief, why don't you let us try it first? That way, if there are any side effects, we can detect them in time."

"Hmph! Don't even think about it."

Grandpa Liu carefully tucked the medicine bottle into his pocket, then glanced at Grandpa Zhao, "And you, Old Zhao, you're always so cunning. Don't you have any?"

Old Master Zhao blushed after being told off.

Seeing his expression, Old Master Liu raised an eyebrow and asked, "You old rascal, you haven't finished eating and are eyeing my bottle now, have you?"

"Old Chief, you have a good eye for people." Old Master Zhao chuckled twice, then dropped the pretense. "You see, you won't finish that bottle anytime soon, why don't you share some with me?"

"Get lost! I've discovered how shameless you are again!"

Old Master Liu chuckled and scolded, then changed the subject, "Isn't young Comrade Kaixin right here? Why don't you just tell him to get you a bottle?"

Li Kaixin, who was watching the show from the side, froze slightly with a smile. How did this get dragged into her again?

Upon hearing this, apart from Grandpa Zhao, all the other elderly people realized what was happening and turned to look at Li Kaixin with expectant eyes.

"Old Chief, it's not that easy." Old Master Zhao sighed, then continued:

"This medicine is very precious. The main ingredient requires ginseng that is at least several decades old. The one I have was given to me by someone many years ago."

"Old Zhao, that was just you."

Old Master Hong chimed in, smiling as he looked at Li Kaixin, "Young Kaixin, I have a few ginseng roots of good quality. Could you help me get a few bottles?"

"No problem, Grandpa Hong, you can leave it to me when the time comes."

Li Kaixin quickly agreed, secretly relieved. He had been worried about what to say, but luckily Old Master Zhao had come to his rescue.

The elderly people in front of him were all incredibly powerful, and Li Kaixin didn't want to offend any of them.

Seeing this, the other old men at the table also spoke up, each asking Li Kaixin for help.

This scene left the middle-aged and young people at other tables in the distance somewhat bewildered, wondering why their fathers and grandfathers were being so enthusiastic towards that young man.

Only Station Chief Zhao's table was different.

Station Chief Zhao, beaming with pride, addressed the two middle-aged men of similar age: "Old Hong, Old Chen, what do you think? I told you that young man would be popular with us older folks!"

"Hey Lao Zhao, do you know that young man?" the middle-aged man called Lao Chen couldn't help but ask.

The guy next to him, Lao Hong, chimed in.

Li Huaide, standing to the side, chuckled and chimed in, "Old Chen, Old Hong, you two aren't completely stupid! Take another look at that young man, doesn't he look familiar?"

He came today with his father-in-law, who is also Old Chen's father.

"Wow, Lao Li, I didn't even realize it until you said it."

The man called Old Chen took a closer look and immediately remembered, "Isn't this the guy from Old Zhao's station who's in the newspaper?"

"That's not right!" Old Hong frowned. "Even if this young man is very capable, our old man wouldn't act like this, would he? At most, he'd just glance at him a few more times."

At that moment, several elderly people stood up and quickly surrounded Li Kaixin.

"Old Zhao, Old Li, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us the specific reasons," Old Chen urged impatiently.

As soon as he saw the scene over there, he knew there must be something he didn't know.

Li Huaide and Station Chief Zhao exchanged a glance and smiled.

They didn't hide anything and explained in detail that Li Kaixin knew how to make medicine. Anyway, even if they didn't tell, the two of them would find out sooner or later.

After hearing this, the two of them were both stunned for a moment.

The man called Old Chen stared wide-eyed, asking uncertainly, "Old Zhao, is what you're saying true?"

"Of course it's true!" Station Chief Zhao laughed, pointing to his grandfather's side. "Can't you see how energetic and lively my old man is right now?"

Li Huaide fell into deep thought. Since taking the medicine that night, he had noticed obvious changes in his body.

I kept trying to find Li Kaixin, but I never had the chance.

Seeing you here today was actually a bit of a surprise to me.

Upon hearing this explanation, Lao Hong and Lao Chen's minds began to stir.

The man called Lao Hong lowered his voice: "Lao Zhao, Lao Li, when that young man named Kaixin comes over, you two have to introduce him to us properly."

"That's no problem!"

Station Chief Zhao readily agreed, then pointed to the stone table on the other side, "His parents are here today too, would you like to get to know them first?"

"Okay!" Old Chen nodded with a smile.

At this moment, Li Kaixin's parents were sitting with Director Liu's wife, Ye Wanning.

Their gazes would occasionally drift towards Li Kaixin.

They weren't fools; they could naturally guess that those people were all important figures. Seeing their eldest son navigating the situation with ease, they couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.
