Maddie, these two kids must be your classmates, right? Hello, Im Claurice, Maddies mother. Thank you for your concern, Maddies father is doing fine and so are we. Y-You dont have t-to When she saw her daughter in a daze, Maddies mother smiled at Zhang Lisheng and George before greeting them in a soft voice. However, she barely finished two sentences before breaking out into tears.

Mum! Dont be like this! This is the hospital! If father sees you crying when he comes out of Dr. Cassandras office later, hed definitely be sadder afterward! Under Maddies persuasion, her mother wiped her tears off hastily and once again, a smile crept upon her face. Right now, the girl had already shifted her attention towards Zhang Lisheng, L-Lisheng, thanks for coming. This is the hospital so lets go outside and talk if theres anything.

The young man nodded and smiled politely at Maddies mother before walking out from this small private hospital with the girl.

The atmosphere in this hospital is very strange. Its obviously depressing but everyone is smiling! Why is this so? Zhang Lisheng asked abruptly after they walked out of the door.

Dr. Cassandra advocates a positive attitude in treating tumors. He often says a burst of hearty laughter that lasts one whole day can have the same effect of one chemotherapy

Many doctors think so. As long as one maintains an optimistic and positive personality, the human bodys immune system would be able to cope with any disease. Ive heard many times before that patient with serious illness are naturally cured like this

George, if laughter can heal disease, Chaplin would not have died in the first place. Maddie, havent I told you to ask the doctor if there is any other better scientific way the hospital has to treat your fathers illness?

Ive asked the nurse on duty and she said that theres a medical center in Belgium that has developed a brand-new treatment for mid-stage stomach cancer.According to the data, the treatment is very effective as well

So why havent you called me back?

I-It needs 500,000 dollars! The nurse said that the estimated cost of the entire treatment would be at least 500,000 dollars Maddie felt weak and leaned against the wall as she muttered.

To some people, 500,000 dollars might only be just a few chips in the casino but to most people, it was a really huge sum.

To an average middle-class American family who did not inherit anything from their ancestors, possessing a cash saving of 500,000 dollars could even be said as a dream to them.

500,000 dollars? 500,000. Thats a huge sum of money! However, since youre my servant, according to the custom, Zhang Lisheng casually muttered before writing a cheque and stuffing it into Maddies hand. Send your father to Belgium. Its not reliable to treat a tumor with laughter.

Not being able to understand the sense of worth of a wizard, Maddie stared at the cheque in her hand that was written with one 5 and five consecutive 0s in a daze. After being dumbstruck for a moment, she muttered and asked, W-Why do you want to treat me like this? If you like me, when you gave me that 50,000 dollars last time, you could have already A-And whats more, havent you already taken me as a servant or something now?

Thats right! Its exactly because youre my servant that I should help if I know that your family member is severely ill. Alright, Ive already done what I can do so I hope your father can fully recover. George and I will

Zhang Lishengs words were suddenly cut off by the deep kiss Maddie threw at him.

T-Thank you. Putting all her gratitude and affection into this kiss, Maddie let go of the young man with a flushed face after a long while. She took a good look at Zhang Lisheng with complicated emotions in her eyes before pushing the door and running into the hospital.

When the girl ran off, Zhang Lisheng was still dumbstruck and had not returned to his senses yet. George, who was by his side, scoffed mockingly, 500,000 dollars in exchange for a passionate kiss. How does this kiss of 500,000 dollars taste like?

What the fuck! W-Why would Maddie do that? I merely did something that fits our Chinas sense of worth a-and

Oh well, thats enough mate! Why are you explaining it to me? Im not your hot girlfriend nor Maddies parents. Besides, you two have already started playing this little servant and master game so it aint too much for a kiss anyway. However, to put it bluntly, the speed of building up your fortune is really fast! You were still working part-time with me a few months ago but now, you could already give out a cheque worth 500,000 dollars without even blinking your eyes! When do you plan to save me as well, huh? If you give me a cheque of 100,000 dollars to me, Id give you my body freely and let you do whatever you want to me.

Then, George posed a sexy seductive pose right away.

Thats enough, George! Youre disgusting! Thats all the money I have in my account. If I want to have more money, Id have to officially start the slaughterhouse business once the expansion is done.

I keep hearing you mention that youve opened a slaughterhouse, slaughterhouse, but Ive never been there before. Now that I saw how you use your money, I began to become curious about the scale of your slaughterhouse

You can go anytime in the future when you want to but not today! I dont plan to leave New York City during the resting period the doctor put me on, Zhang Lisheng said cautiously.

Because you cant use too much of your brain. Okay, Lisheng! Of course you should listen to the doctor. But, theres one funny thing. As the rebel in Lowbige Junior High, its rumored in the school that youve become paralyzed and can only lie on the bed with your saliva dripping out of your mouth

Wait a minute, George! Since when have I become the rebel of Lowbige Junior High?

Right now, every student in Lowbige already knew that youve participated in the Fordham Sisters cruise party and that you have undergone a shipwreck. Because of this, youve become the rebel of Lowbige Junior High! But fret not, your label of being a rebel has already become ridiculously expensive. In fact, theres a saying stating that only a man who is no longer a virgin is a good man

George remarked loudly in an envious tone.

After that, for the next half a day until he returned home at night, Zhang Lisheng kept listening to Georges endless analysis of what kind of subtle position Zhang Lisheng had in the minds of girls in Lowbige Junior High.

In the next few days, the young man continued to do nothing at home. It was only until the holiday that the doctor prescribed to him had ended that he finally resumed his normal life.

After his classes resumed, it was a tense yet short revision and afterward, the year-exams of the school. This lasted till early July and finally, Zhang Lisheng, who resumed his study for barely two weeks, welcomed his first summer holiday in America.

On the last day of class, the entire Lowbige Junior High was immersed in a joyful atmosphere.

Lisheng, were free! Free for a whole three months Carrying his books over his head to block the sun in this intolerably hot campus, George cheered loudly while walking.

George, your credits for the tenth-grade is not even enough yet! If I were you, Id be thinking where should I go earn my tuition during the summer holiday instead of cheering were free!

Youre such a killjoy, buddy! Youre going to Hawaii for your holiday but you actually asked your best friend to earn for his tuition! Thats right, when is your flight? Cant you wait for me to work for one month to save enough money first before going together with you?

As the two of them were talking, they had already come to the street outside of the campus. Zhang Lisheng opened the front door to his car as he chuckled, Just go to Hawaii together with Hannah! I dont want to interrupt the two of you. The weather is too hot, let me send you to the butcher shop then.

Forget about it, buddy. I wont get a sunburn by riding my bicycle under the shade. You still need to go to Kaiserland Town to have your negotiations with those cunning old farm operators right? Dont waste your time anymore. Just go!

Alright, Ill leave first then. Upon hearing Georges words, Zhang Lisheng did not dawdle any further and waved his hand. After he started his car, he drove out of New York City.

40 minutes later, the Explorer turned into a spacious road in the suburbs of New York. Shortly afterwards, the countless huge cranes standing in the distance soon entered the young mans sight. It was the construction site for the new New York Harbor and not far away from it was a white factory. That was the first completed phase of the LS Slaughterhouse.

After driving for a while more, Zhang Lisheng turned his car into a highway branch before going straight for more than ten minutes. Then, a clean and tidy town appeared before him.

An Explorer with a familiar license plate driving into the Kaiserland Town would of course attract the attention of the townspeople. However, when Zhang Lisheng got down from his car, nobody greeted him at all.

The townspeoples straightforward attitude did not rouse any dissatisfaction from Zhang Lisheng. He parked his car outside the Blueberry Tavern and nodded everyone he came across with a smile. With big strides, he came to Mayor Howards hut that was situated in the middle of the town.

After he knocked and pushed the door open to enter the house, to Zhang Lishengs expectations, the wooden house was already filled with middle-aged men and old men who were wearing denim overalls. When they saw the young man enter, they casted their angry gaze on him right away.

Only Howard stood up as usual and extended his hand to welcome Lisheng. Lisheng, youve come! I hope that you havent eaten your lunch yet for Ive specially prepared the rib of the Japanese Matsusaka beef that had been successfully reared in the farm. Its extremely delicious!

Is that so? Mayor Howard! Thats amazing! And here I was thinking that you wanted to have a fallout with me for youd rather lose money and shut the LS Slaughterhouse down a few weeks ago. I didnt expect you to be so generous this time. Not only did you invite me as your guest, youve even prepared Matsusaka beef steak for me.

Thats enough young man. I know some of the things I did in the past might have raised your dissatisfaction but I grew up in a farming and pastoral town outside of New York City. The first thing I learnt since primary school is that small towns like us outside of New York City would need to be united in order to survive

Mayor Howard, the fact that you and all of the farmers outside of New York City came together to demand a lower price from an originally fair price is not for the sake of Kaiserland Towns survival. On top of that, the people whom youre dealing with is one of the directors for the Kaiserland Towns National Farmers Union. I think all of you might still continue to unite had there not been the slaughter orders from the Californian farmers. Even if both of our sides would end up suffering from major losses, youd still want to put things right once and for all and force the price that I offered to a stage where its ridiculously low, wouldnt you?
