After Chen Zhao left the gym, Chen Zhao went to Ford's home.
Help him treat his leg injury and check his recovery status.
Ford's treatment of Chen Zhao was very cooperative.
According to Chen Zhao's estimate, it will take at most a week to fully recover.
Of course, Chen Zhao also has to come here every day.
Thanks to Chen Zhao's treatment, Ford's recovery from his leg injury is progressing quite well.
He has also met with Bird and had preliminary communication.
Although the contract has not been signed yet, preliminary intentions have been reached.
Afterwards, Chen Zhao went to Ethan's hotel.
Ethan was very angry that Chen Zhao came to have lunch. Chen Zhao's reason was very good. He came to ask if there were any new orders, and the lunch was just a way of doing it.
But Ethan was really bored there, so Chen Zhao stayed there for more than half an hour and then went home.
It was rare to have free time during the day. As soon as Chen Zhao arrived at the door of his house, he saw Bant's pickup truck parked in front of his house across the road.
Bant and Mary were helping a young man get out of the car.
"Bant, Mary." Chen Zhao stepped forward to say hello and looked at the young man: "You must be willing."
Mary stepped forward and gave Chen Zhao a hug, and then said to Ken: "Ken, he is the one who saved you from the fire, Chen."
"Thank you, brother." Ken's voice was hoarse now that he had difficulty moving.
However, Chen Zhao still leaned down and gave Ken a hug.
"How do you feel?"
"I have been in the hospital for so many days, but my respiratory tract is scalded and needs some time to recover."
Ken's injuries were relatively good, at least he was luckier than those who died in the fire.
However, due to burns in his respiratory tract, it was inconvenient for him to eat. He has been relying on glucose to supplement his nutrition recently and his body is very weak.
"I am also a doctor. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, you can come to me at any time or give me a call."
"Chen, have you eaten? Come to my house." Mary said enthusiastically.
"It's better not to. You have just brought Ken back, and you must still need to take care of him. I won't cause any trouble for you. Besides, my work is irregular, and I don't know when I will go out again."
"Oh well."
"I won't disturb you anymore. I'm going home first. Goodbye."
What the people of the United States value is that distance creates beauty.
Even if the relationship is very close, they will leave space for each other.
When Chen Zhao returned home and found that Wanda was not at home, he took out his phone and called Fali.
"Fali, have you taken Wanda away?"
"You were away all night last night and didn't come back in the morning. I didn't want Wanda to be left alone at home, so I brought you to my place of work."
"Okay, remember not to talk to other people casually."
"I know."
Ding dong—
Chen Zhao was about to say something else, when the doorbell rang.
"There's a knock on the door. I'll hang up first." After hanging up the phone, Chen Zhao opened the door.
Standing outside the door was an old white man with a goatee and a fir crutch. He was neatly dressed and looked like an old British gentleman.
"Hello, who are you?"
"I'm Ted Pampton, the owner of the small town winery." The old white man nodded slightly and stretched out his hand.
"Hello, I'm Chen Zhao." Chen Zhao shook Ted's hand.
"I know you, boy, you saved my people."
"Please come in."
Chen Zhao invited Ted into the room and sat down: "What would you like to drink? Tea or coffee?"
"Tea, thank you."
After Chen Zhao made the tea, he brought it to Treed: "Mr. Treed, is there anything I can do for you?"
"I'm here to thank you. You are a great young man." Ted took out a check and pushed it in front of Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Sorry, I can't have it."
"Why?"
"This doesn't belong to me." Chen Zhao replied.
"You deserve it."
Chen Zhao still shook his head. If Chen Zhao came to visit and saved the patient, he would not refuse.
Because this is his job and he gets his reward, that's right.
But it was not his job to save people. In the fire at that time, Chen Zhao actually had selfish motives for rushing in.
First, Wanda had rushed in first, and then when he rushed in, Carrie also followed.
So at that time, Chen Zhao felt that his safety was guaranteed.
Furthermore, Chen Zhao actually received the benefit, which was the second perfect crystal.
Therefore, Chen Zhao does not want to receive another remuneration. This is a matter of principle.
The check had a number on it, which was indeed tempting.
But Chen Zhao doesn’t want to take it…
Chen Zhao is actually an ordinary person with three principles.
The first principle is not to ask for trouble, the second principle is not to save yourself from death, and the third principle is not to do evil.
If there is a conflict between the first and second principles, then the second principle will be followed first. If there is a conflict with the third principle, then the third principle will be followed first.
For example, if Capres asked him to go to the prison to treat that perverted old man, this would be a big trouble.
So Chen Zhao first followed the third principle, first of all, don't do evil. Saving the old man would be equivalent to doing evil.
Of course, Chen Zhao saved him in the end, because saving him was equivalent to letting him stay in prison longer.
Chen Zhao will never refuse money that should be taken, and Chen Zhao will not take money that should not be taken.
"Mr. Traed, please don't embarrass me."
"This... okay, kid, if you need anything, please feel free to contact me."
"Okay, by the way, can I ask you whether the land near the lake on the edge of the town now belongs to the town or is it private?"
"Huh? That piece of wasteland? That area belongs to the town. Do you want to develop it as a pasture? Or for residence? If it is used as a pasture, I am afraid it is not suitable, because the soil quality of the land is average, and it is 170 It was a major battlefield during the Mexican-American War years ago, and a large amount of gunpowder seeped into the soil, making it difficult for grass and crops to grow."
"I plan to build a house there. Of course, it's just a preliminary idea and no concrete plans yet."
"If you build a house, in addition to the cost of the land and the cost of building the house, you also need to build a road leading to the highway, which is at least three kilometers. According to the ordinary road cost, it will cost at least 150,000 US dollars."
"So how much does that piece of land cost?"
"Are you sure you want to buy it?"
"I first need to know what the price is."
"I don't know the specific price, but I can help you consult." Ted said.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Trader."
"I'm the one who should say thank you. Okay, it's time for me to go. Goodbye." Ted stood up and said.
"Won't you do it for a while longer?"
"No, if I continue to stay, I'm afraid you will be even more uncomfortable, haha..."
This old man was quite shrewd. He could tell that Chen Zhao seemed a little uncomfortable when facing him.
Chen Zhao sent Old Traed to the door. The phone rang again. Traed waved his hand to say goodbye. Chen Zhao picked up the phone: "Ethan, what's the matter?"
"New customers."
