Chapter 96: Chapter 96: No trouble, just a phone call
When Chu Chen showed up, the man in the suit handed him two exceptionally well-packaged, luxurious gift boxes.

Hmm?
Just by looking at the gift boxes, you could tell they were absolutely valuable!
Everyone was fixated on the two gift boxes in Chu Chen’s hands, their curiosity piqued to the extreme about what kind of rare fruits might be inside.
Impossible, right?
Professor Cui and Ding Zhaoyuan were utterly astonished.
...
A delivery guy could afford such expensive things?
Just from the packaging, they guessed the contents had to be worth at least tens of thousands.
“Mr. Chu, should this batch of Guangzhou Zengcheng Hanging Green Lychees and Roman Ruby Grapes be charged with your previous order, or separately?”
The man in the suit politely inquired.
Lychees?
Grapes?
Upon hearing what the man in the suit said, everyone in the hospital room was stunned.
Do such pricey gift boxes contain just lychees and grapes, two very ordinary fruits?
In their imagination, the gift boxes should contain rare fruits they had never even heard of.
But the result left them greatly disappointed.
“Hmph, I thought it was something good,” Ding Zhaoyuan remarked disdainfully.
Just some lychees and grapes?
No matter how special, they’re just like my premium white strawberries.
Why bother with such extravagant packaging, what’s the point?
“Old Gao, your student is interesting.”
“A small amount of grapes and lychees, yet he needs such packaging?”
Professor Cui sneered sarcastically.
“Combine the payment.”
Chu Chen replied.
“Okay, the total this time is 330,000. Previously, the ten bunches of Roman Ruby Grapes were 710,000, making a total of 1,040,000. Manager Li said, since you are our esteemed guest, the total is only 1,000,000.”
“Great, help me thank Manager Li,” Chu Chen nodded.
After speaking, the man in the suit left.
Chu Chen turned around with the two gift boxes and was surprised to find everyone in the room staring intently at him—not him really, but the gift boxes—as if in a daze.
This time, a total of 330,000?
Does that mean the fruit in these two gift boxes was worth 330,000?
How could that be?
Lychees and grapes worth 330,000?
They must be made of gold, with diamonds sprinkled on them, right?
Especially Professor Cui and Ding Zhaoyuan, who looked utterly incredulous, unable to believe that lychees and grapes could be so expensive.
“Professor, these are the fruits I brought for you. Give them a try.”
Chu Chen spoke up.
“Xiao Chu, could you open them and let us have a look?” At this moment, the professor’s wife couldn’t help but ask.
“Sure.”
Saying so, Chu Chen opened the two gift boxes, revealing two bunches of Roman Ruby Grapes in one and over sixty Guangzhou Zengcheng Hanging Green Lychees in the other.
They did look much better than ordinary grapes and lychees, but nowhere near like something worth 330,000, akin to a good car.
“Xiao Chu, are these fruits really 330,000?” the professor’s wife asked.
“Yes.”
Chu Chen nodded. The Roman Ruby Grapes, needless to say, cost over 70,000 per bunch when imported from abroad.
These over sixty Guangzhou Zengcheng Hanging Green Lychees were worth nearly 190,000, with each piece costing around 2,000 to 3,000.
In fact, that was considered cheap.
The most expensive Guangzhou Zengcheng Hanging Green Lychee cost 550,000 per piece!
Yes, a single piece—not a catty!
Last time, his parents mentioned they liked the taste of the grapes, so when he returned to Jiangzhou, he specifically ordered them from Manager Li.
Knowing the professor was sick, Chu Chen gave Manager Li a call to see if there were any suitable fruits available.
Because these expensive fruits were so rare, Manager Li specially delivered them overnight from elsewhere.
“Money doesn’t matter; what’s important is that they taste good, especially these Roman Ruby Grapes.”
Chu Chen said, though he hadn’t tried the Guangzhou Zengcheng Hanging Green Lychees, he did find the Roman Ruby Grapes genuinely delicious.
Everyone present pulled out their phones to check online, all rendered speechless.
It was true!
What Chu Chen said was actually true!
“Wow!”
“Chen bro, you’re awesome!”
“Spending car-level money just eating fruits, that’s impressive!”
Chu Chen’s classmates completely believed now; the rumors were true.
Chu Chen truly was handsome, rich, and successful!
They swelled with pride.
With Chu Chen backing them, they no longer had to put up with Professor Cui’s arrogance.
Chen bro was the real deal!
“Thank you, Xiao Chu.” The professor’s wife was thrilled.
From the gift boxes, she took out five Guangzhou Zengcheng Hanging Green Lychees and five Roman Ruby Grapes and walked towards Professor Cui.
“Professor Cui, you treated Old Gao to white strawberries earlier; now, I would like to offer you fruits brought by Old Gao’s student.”
“Not expensive, just 330,000.”
“Fruits are few, so just five pieces per type, pardon me.”
The professor’s wife spoke to Professor Cui with a broad smile, feeling immensely satisfied inside.
Just a while ago, she had felt utterly humiliated and helpless, seething with anger.
But now, with Chu Chen’s arrival, their moment for vindication had come.
So, the professor’s wife returned Professor Cui and Ding Zhaoyuan’s words back to them exactly as they had said them.
They had only given three or four pieces, and only of one kind.
She had given them a full five pieces, and of two kinds!
It wasn’t just the professor’s wife; the others felt exuberantly vindicated.
As for Professor Cui and Ding Zhaoyuan, they were dumbfounded.
Having looked up the information, these fruits were indeed this expensive!
A delivery guy who casually spent 330,000?
Were kidding, right?
Delivery service was this lucrative, surpassing being a supervisor?
Ding Zhaoyuan thought.
Professor Cui just stared at the grapes and lychees, his expression immensely complex, turning blue and then green.
This time, it was Professor Cui’s students who felt stifled.
Professor Cui’s group, besides Ding Zhaoyuan, included a few students who seemed insignificant next to the outstanding Ding Zhaoyuan.
“I remember, Yuan bro, didn’t you find a very skilled expert for the professor?”
To claw back some ground, one of the boys chimed in.
For Professor Cui, Ding Zhaoyuan had specifically found a top-tier expert to perform surgery.
“Certainly.”
Upon hearing this, Ding Zhaoyuan brightened up.
Even if delivering food made a lot of money, what kind of people could one know?
But as a foreign company supervisor, through years of experience, he’d known many prominent figures.
His extensive network of strong connections was absolutely beyond a rich delivery guy’s comparison.
“For the sake of the professor, I went through painstaking efforts and contacted many notable figures, ultimately helping the professor secure Jiangzhou’s most famous surgeon, Doctor Yan Shi.”
Ding Zhaoyuan showed off.
“Yuan bro is amazing, securing Doctor Yan?”
“That’s someone not just anyone can get.”
The professor’s wife’s expression slightly changed.
“What’s the matter, professor’s wife?” Chu Chen wondered.
“Well, a few days ago, it’s a young, inexperienced doctor doing the surgery for your teacher, and I’m worried something might go wrong.”
Initially, both Old Gao and Professor Cui had the same surgeon, but Professor Cui found an expert.
“I see, leave it to me.” Chu Chen offered.
“Is it troublesome?”
The professor’s wife spoke, slightly embarrassed.
“Not at all, just one phone call.”
