Craig Burley had a frown of displeasure and, without speaking, furrowed his brows.

Seeing this, Greg Jensen immediately understood what was going on and said to Old Li with a smile, “What’s wrong? Did I say something incorrect?”

A faint smile was on his face, yet he found the situation somewhat amusing internally.

Do they think I’m an easy target to pick on?

Unable to deal with Craig Burley, so they target me because I’m young and look easy to bully?

He knew this person must have a conflict with Craig Burley, and he was simply getting dragged into it.

However, Greg Jensen wasn’t too bothered.

Since he owed Craig Burley a favor, it was normal to be implicated.

Besides, Greg Jensen didn’t really take Old Li seriously. This man was completely transparent, speaking thoughtlessly in front of a leader, likely not well-regarded at work.

Old Li’s face grew unseemly, as everyone at the workplace knew about his stomach issues. If he dared contradict Greg Jensen, he would certainly create a negative impression in the eyes of the leader.

Yet if he just accepted it, he would feel rather unwilling.

He affected a casual tone, “Stomach problems are commonplace; almost everyone has them. That’s hardly a skill. Come on, say something different.”

“Something different? Besides your stomach issues, you do have a few other minor problems, but…”

Greg Jensen’s mind raced, and feigning difficulty, he said, “It might not be appropriate to discuss here, right?”

Seeing Greg Jensen’s expression, Old Li’s spirits lifted. He believed his guess was correct; this excessively young lad before him had to be an imposter.

How could there possibly be such a young Divine Doctor?

Because of this belief, without a second thought, Old Li blurted out, “Just say it. What can’t you talk about?”

Greg Jensen subconsciously looked toward Craig Burley and asked, “Uncle Craig, can I say it?”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Craig Burley didn’t understand what Greg Jensen was up to, but he trusted him because his daughter’s condition had indeed improved.

He cleared his throat and said with a smile, “Director Wang loves people who speak their minds. Just say whatever you have to; there’s no need for secrecy.

Everyone here today is a leader from the Health Bureau; we all know each other.”

“Hahaha.”

“That’s true.”

Although Craig Burley was a businessman, it was obvious that he had good relationships with these Health Bureau folks.

As his voice trailed off, others immediately joined in the laughter, even Director Wang at the head seat.

Old Li thought his colleagues were siding with him and sneered triumphantly, “Go on, say it. What can’t be said?”

“Well, then, I’ll say it.”

“Hurry up and say it; what’s with all the blathering?”

Old Li was becoming impatient.

Greg Jensen sighed and said, “Old Li, to be honest, kidney deficiency is something most men have to some degree; it’s just a matter of severity.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Kidney deficiency?”

The room suddenly quieted down, and everyone’s gaze turned towards Old Li with a somewhat strange look.

Men might fail in other aspects, but in this particular area, being inadequate would make one the subject of ridicule.

Greg Jensen saying Old Li had kidney weakness was akin to implying he couldn’t satisfy his own wife.

Old Li’s face turned scarlet in an instant, and he glared furiously at Greg Jensen, saying, “You’re the one with the kidney problem.”

The crowd struggled to hold back their laughter, appearing as if they wanted to laugh but felt it improper.

Craig Burley didn’t care about niceties; he had long been at odds with Old Li and immediately said, “Old Li, this is where you’re wrong. How can you stoop to the level of arguing with someone younger?

Moreover, if you’re ill, you need treatment; you can’t avoid doctors and shun medication.”

Spencer Burley saw his dad had already opened fire and, not wanting to be left out, followed up by saying, “Uncle Li, I think my dad is right; if we’re sick, we should just treat it.

With modern technology being so advanced, small problems like kidney weakness are really easy to cure.”

Old Li’s forehead veins throbbed crazily as he glared at Greg Jensen and said, “You say I have kidney weakness, do you have any evidence?”

Craig Burley scoffed and said, “Old Li, your question is quite interesting. Don’t you have any idea what your own body is like?”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Spencer Burley said with a smile, “Actually, whether or not your kidneys are weak is an easy question to answer. It’s like when someone calls me ugly; I definitely don’t care.

Because I know I’m handsome, if they call me ugly, that’s just jealousy. But if someone says I’m poor, I would definitely get into a fight with them, because I truly am poor.”

“Hahaha…”

As soon as Spencer Burley said this, everyone present couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into laughter, even Director Wang did the same.

Watching Director Wang’s radiant smile, Old Li’s face turned shades of green and white, but he couldn’t bring himself to vent his anger.

Craig Burley glanced at Old Li and said indifferently, “Spencer, that’s where you’re wrong. Your Uncle Li is the head of the inspection department.

By doing this to him, aren’t you just drawing hatred for Greg? Be careful, or he might give Greg trouble later on.”

Greg Jensen was taken aback and asked curiously, “Head of the inspection department? I thought it was Sister Zhao with that title?”

Director Wang was in a good mood and, with a smile across his face, took the initiative to explain to Greg Jensen, “Pearl Walker? She’s the deputy. The one in front of you is the real head of the inspection department.”

“Oh my, so it’s Chief Zhao, my apologies, my apologies.”

Greg Jensen hurriedly raised his glass and said with a smile, “Let me toast to you first.”

Old Li’s face looked terrible, and he coldly watched Greg Jensen without any intention of raising his glass.

Craig Burley frowned and shot a look towards Director Wang.

Director Wang said with a laugh, “Old Li, he’s toasting to you; come on, hurry up.”

“I’m doing it for the Director’s face; if not for that, I wouldn’t even drink this glass.”

Old Li glanced at Greg Jensen and reluctantly downed the glass.

Director Wang frowned slightly but said nothing.

The expressions of the other people at the dinner table also showed disdain.

A department head, giving face to the Director?

You can really say such things!

Greg Jensen also drank a glass and couldn’t help but laugh to himself, Old Li’s emotional intelligence was incredibly low.

However, he also understood that no matter how much he disliked Old Li, he couldn’t afford to truly offend the man to death.

Local authority is often stronger than high-ranking help, and even though Director Wang had spoken, the specifics would still fall to Old Li.

With a few tricks up his sleeve, he could take care of Dreamscape Garden, and by then, going back to Director Wang would be difficult.

At the event today, besides Greg Jensen and the Burleys, almost everyone was from the Health Inspection Department, so the issue of kidney weakness was laughed off and moved past.

As people ate and talked, Greg Jensen also occasionally joined the conversation, quickly getting on friendly terms with a few individuals.

At that moment, Old Li got up to go to the restroom, but the en-suite was occupied, so he had to leave the private room and head toward the public toilets.

Greg Jensen saw an opportunity, excused himself to relieve his bladder, and followed him out.

“Uncle Li, wait for me.”

When Old Li noticed it was him following, his expression instantly turned frosty; he huffed and said indifferently, “If this is about Pearl Walker shutting down Dreamscape Garden, don’t bother; I can’t help you.”

The disappointment in Greg Jensen’s eyes flashed by, and he said with a laugh, “Haha, Uncle Li is overthinking it; it’s not about that.”

“Oh? Then what is it?”

Old Li looked at Greg Jensen with some surprise; they hadn’t been getting along at the dinner table, so what could they possibly have to discuss?
