At this moment, Coach He was unhappy and said, "What do you mean by this? Don't you see where we are? This is the volleyball court, and the divine doctor is invited by us, not you. Of course, our girls in the queue should be treated first."

"Coach He, what you're saying is not right. Why should your volleyball team members be treated first? The divine doctor is here to treat athletes, not just volleyball players. No one ever said that."

"What are you saying? Believe it or not, I might just kick all of you out."

Ling Zhenfei saw a few coaches start to argue and quickly said, "Everyone, please don't argue. Let me say a few words."

The coaches finally stopped and looked at Ling Zhenfei and said, "Mr. Ling, go ahead, how would you like to handle this?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Before I came, I didn't expect the injuries to be so severe. This morning I treated the diving team, and it seemed like everyone had injuries large and small. If I were to treat everyone individually, I might not actually have that much time.

But you don't have to worry, I will try my best to allocate all my time to help treat everyone, so don't worry. You coaches can first make a list, and on the list, write down the three athletes with the most severe and urgent injuries.

This afternoon, I'll treat them first. When treating injuries, there's always a priority. If time permits, I'll come again tomorrow."

The coaches nodded. Ling Zhenfei's method was very fair. The injuries weren't something that appeared overnight; they were old injuries, so enduring a few more days wouldn't be an issue.

If Ling Zhenfei didn't have other matters, he would surely want to help all athletes, but he knew he had many things to deal with. These days were relatively relaxed, but if something came up, he might not even have time to prepare.

Just like when he went to Moergawa, he was primarily treating Mr. Su Qichang in the Capital City. But when he received the call about Lin Yuluo being in trouble, he arrived in Moergawa in the quickest time, so Ling Zhenfei never knew what might happen next.

Therefore, treating those with more serious injuries first, and then gradually treating the others later is practical. If needed, He Lingxiu could be called to treat for a few more days.

He Lingxiu was consulting at Mingde Hospital in Tangcheng and had been there for several days, having long completed Ling Zhenfei's prior commitment, so it was time to call He Lingxiu over.

In the afternoon, Ling Zhenfei began treating the athletes. Each coach provided a list of three names, but because of the number of departments, the pressure on him was still significant.

As the day went by, Cao Xueyi called, asking where Ling Zhenfei was and reminding him not to forget to come home for dinner.

Ling Zhenfei checked the time and said, "I'll come a bit later. You go home first and tell Mr. Cao that I'll definitely arrive by seven o'clock."

Cao Xueyi paused slightly and said, "Seven o'clock, isn't that a bit late? My dad told me to tell you to come earlier."

Ling Zhenfei replied, "I still have some things to handle here, so please tell Mr. Cao he might have to wait a bit. I'll apologize when I get there."

Cao Xueyi understood that when Ling Zhenfei said this, something must truly be going on, so she said, "Alright then, try to be as fast as you can."

After hanging up, he continued treating the athletes. Indeed, after a busy time, Ling Zhenfei finally finished treating all the names on the list.

Sighing in relief, Ling Zhenfei hurriedly said goodbye to the coaches and athletes, but they insisted he stay for dinner because he had done them such a great favor.

However, having promised Cao Xueyi, he insisted on leaving but assured them he would return early the next morning to continue treating them, only then was he allowed to leave.

Leaving the training bureau of the General Administration of Sports, Ling Zhenfei went directly to Cao Qinglin's home.

Cao Qinglin was an old fox, a very shrewd businessman. The Xi Shan Restaurant run by Ling Zhenfei was on a property owned by him. To protect against Cao Qinglin, he utilized the fact that Cao Qinglin and his daughter, Cao Xueyi, didn't get along well.

By having Cao Xueyi serve as the general manager of the Xi Shan Restaurant's headquarters in the Capital City, Cao Qinglin shouldn't act recklessly. This was a risky strategy, but seeing how things were with Cao Xueyi now, it seemed like it was a well-calculated risk by Ling Zhenfei, one that paid off.

Ling Zhenfei knew that tonight's dinner wasn't going to be easy. Who knows what Cao Qinglin had to say at the banquet? It might be some kind of Hongmen Banquet.

But by now, Ling Zhenfei wasn't afraid. Even if there were traps, he would navigate through them smoothly. After weathering so many storms, he had grown accustomed to it all and wasn't afraid of any challenges.

Soon, he arrived at Cao Qinglin's residence and was allowed to pass without any hindrances, driving his car right to the house.

Cao Qinglin's home had three very tall buildings, presenting a tripod-like formation. There were also small lakes, swimming pools, and such surrounding it.

Those who knew understood it was Cao Qinglin's home, while those who didn't might mistake it for a park because it was so grand and imposing.

Understanding what he needed, Ling Zhenfei got out of the car, having prepared himself in advance. Someone was already waiting by his car to escort him to the dining room.

The restaurant's location was familiar territory for Ling Zhenfei. He had had a culinary competition with Cao Xueyi there, so his memories of it were vivid.

Upon reaching the restaurant door, Cao Qinglin came out to greet him, giving him a big hug.

"Zhenfei is here; I've missed you so much! It's been ages since you last came. There's only legend of you in the Jianghu, but no sight, which makes us anxious!"

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "Mr. Cao, you're too kind. The little storms I've stirred up are nothing compared to you. I heard you're expanding your empire overseas now."

Cao Qinglin chuckled and said, "We'll discuss that at the dining table. It's been so long, let's have a drink inside."

Cao Qinglin led Ling Zhenfei inside, where many people were already waiting, all familiar faces from his previous visits. Of course, the most familiar still were Cao Xueyi and Xu Yuyu.

Xu Yuyu, heavily pregnant, was nearing her due date and found walking inconvenient.

Upon seeing Ling Zhenfei, she gave him a wink and then didn't look at him further.

Ling Zhenfei, of course, understood what Xu Yuyu meant; with many people around, they had to maintain discretion.

After exchanging greetings, Ling Zhenfei sat beside Cao Qinglin, and Cao Xueyi instructed the servers to begin serving food.

Though Cao Xueyi had not yet officially started managing Xi Shan Restaurant, she seemed more composed than before, not like the boisterous presence she was during his last visit.
