As her boss, calling her will undoubtedly add some pressure. It would be inappropriate for that to interfere with her ability to focus on important tasks.


    He then turned to Mr. Quinton and said, “It’s alright, let’s get started.”


    For Charlie, organizing tonight’s dinner is of secondary importance; the main goal is to reward everyone.


    If Doris Young is unable to attend this evening due to unforeseen circumstances, there’s no need to rush her. Instead, he can discreetly provide her with the pill whenever the opportunity arises.


    Upon hearing this, Mr. Quinton quickly addressed the group: “Everyone, pleasee this way. The banquet is about tomence at the restaurant!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Everyone followed Mr. Quinton to the restaurant, where the chef from the Quinton family had already prepared sixteen cold dishes on the table.


    Lord Moore smiled and remarked, “Mr. Quinton, having only 16 cold dishes seems rather extravagant, don’t you think?”


    Mr. Quinton replied hurriedly, “Not at all, Lord Moore! All of you are esteemed guests of the Quinton family. Today isn’t just about me; it’s about Master Wade. The banquet must meet the highest standards!”


    Old Moore nodded, smiling, and said, “Thank you, Mr. Quinton and Master Wade, for your generous hospitality!”<fn129a> Readplete version only at find[?]ovel</fn129a>


    Charlie smiled and added, “No need for such formality, Lord Moore. Please, make yourselvesfortable!” Once everyone was seated, Mr. Quinton promptly sent someone to fetch several bottles of collector-grade Moutai.


    After everyone had filled their sses, Charlie raised his ss and said earnestly, “Thank you all for gathering here today. I’d like to express my gratitude to Mr. Quinton for organizing everything. I’d like to propose a toast to everyone!”


    Everyone raised their sses and stood up. Dr. Simmons quickly interjected, “Master Wade! Everyone here has been favored by you. Why should you be so formal with us?”


    Charlie chuckled, “Alright, let’s set aside the formalities and raise our sses together!”


    As one, the group at the dinner table called out, “Cheers!”


    Following that, Charlie poured himself a generous serving of wine and remarked, “During the Chinese New Year, everyone has truly been quite generous. To be honest, I feel a bit overwhelmed.”


    He continued, “But let’s not dwell on formalities. I hope you all feel free to be yourselves around me.”


    Everyone nodded in agreement, with some already feeling the excitement building.


    The difference between them and Doris Young is that they had all received medicine from Charlie and had visited his home to pay New Year’s respects. During that time, Charlie mentioned that Mr. Quinton would prepare something, so everyone was aware that Charlie was nning to distribute some pills in return.


    On the other hand, Doris Young had not received any elixirs from Charlie and wasn’t part of that earlier gathering, so she was unaware of Charlie’s intentions for today’s treat.


    If she had known that Charlie would present the blood-saving heart-saving pill capable of curing all ailments, she would certainly not have wanted to miss this opportunity.


    Having this pill couldpletely heal her father’s condition.


    At this point, Charlie stepped away from the table to retrieve the prepared medicine from his car, discreetly pocketing the one intended for Doris Young.


    Returning to the dinner table, he slowly unveiled the medicine boxes, stating seriously: “Everyone, these are the blood-saving heart-saving pills that I’ve recently crafted using materials provided by Chief Quinton. While I can’t promise immortality, I assure you these pills can cure all diseases and treat severe injuries. Please handle them with care, and use them wisely in critical situations.”


    Everyone was visibly happy and moved as Charlie revealed the pills.


    Without hesitation, Don Albert stood up, walked around the table, and knelt down in reverence, eximing, “Don Albert thanks Master Wade for the medicine!”


    Seeing this, everyone else stood up and, in unison, knelt before Charlie, saying, “Master Wade, thank you for the medicine!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
