Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 954

After dealing with Efrain, Fade and Lily followed Eduard and Nita onto the cruise.

Soon after the guests abroad broke the ice, the cruise ship set off with its horns blaring.

As the cruise ship left the harbor, the party livened up gradually as people shuffled towards the bar and the dance floor.

Even the guests who carried themselves with dignity earlier dropped their facade as they let loose, enjoying the party to their fullest. They drank and danced, and some could even be seen engaging in intimate activities.

Fade and Lily were dumbfounded by the turn of events. "This is..."

Everyone else, however, seemed used to it. None of them were surprised, at the very least.

Looking at Fade and Lily's shocked expressions, Nita explained, "This is normal. After all, the upper-class people in Jade City are still human. It's only natural for them to blow off steam at such a party." Fade and Lily nodded; it was understandable.

Nita continued, "This is just the beginning. The real fun starts when the cruise reaches open waters."

"Real fun?" Lily asked in confusion.

In a low voice, Nita said, "In our country, pornography, drugs, and gambling are all strictly prohibited. On international waters, however, everything is permitted. I'm sure you understand what I mean." While Fade and Lily understood immediately, they frowned in displeasure.

Nita said, "This is how it is. Some may look glamorous on the outside, but they are no different from the average Joe underneath."

Fade said, "We'll just be ourselves."

"Well, let's end the topic here. There are some people we should meet. Although most of the people here are partying hard, I'm sure we can find some people who aren't as wild," Nita spoke up. Fade and Lily nodded, and they followed Nita, as she introduced them to a bunch of people.

Meanwhile, the cruise had completely driven out of the port. They were surrounded by the ocean as far as the eye could see. The atmosphere on the cruise ship was getting more and more spirited. Music, drinking, and dancing filled every corner as the cruise ship drifted on like a floating amusement park.

Fade and Lily conversed with some of the guests as they became better acquainted with the patrons of the party.

Nita waved to Fade and said, "Fade, come over here."

Nita pointed to the group of people on the front deck and said, "Those are the big shots of Jade City's pharmaceutical industry. I'll introduce you to them and see if they can help you with your herbs." This was Fade's main purpose for coming to this party. Fade nodded immediately and excused himself. Picking up a glass of wine, he casually approached the group.

With a smile, Nita walked over and said, "Boss Chen, Director Huang, Manager Liu, let me propose a toast to you."

At the behest of a young and well-known international celebrity like Nita, the group raised their glasses one after another in response.

Nita raised her glass in a toast then downed it in a single gulp. Her cheeks grew rosy, and she was blushing more than usual.

Gesturing at Fade, Nita introduced him to the group, "Everyone, this is Mr. Fade Chen, the deputy chairman of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc, and also my friend."

"Other than dealing with cosmetics, Mr. Chen is also a doctor. Thus, I thought it would be a good idea to introduce him to you guys."

When everyone heard about Fade, they were mildly surprised. Then, they smiled and greeted him politely.

After all, the entrepreneurs were smart. They would treat him well as Nita's acquaintance regardless of whether they were interested in him or not.

"So it's President Chen. I've heard a lot about you, a lot of great things!"

"President Chen turned out to also be a doctor. It's really admirable."

"President Chen is quite the hot topic in Jade City recently."

A round of pleasantries were exchanged.

Fade raised his glass with a smile and said to the group, "Everyone, this is my first time in Jade City. Please be kind to me and I hope we can get along in the future."

After all, Fade needed their assistance. He humbled himself, and took the initiative to propose a toast.

Nita exchanged several more pleasantries with the group before she brought up the point. She smiled at them and said, "Everyone, Mr. Chen has a friend who has recently fallen ill and needs special herbal medicine. As everyone here is from the pharmaceutical industry, I hope it isn't too much trouble for me to ask of you to be on the lookout for the herb?"

The executives froze momentarily before they replied, "Since Miss An asked, we will do our best to help."

"President Chen, what's the name of this herb that you are looking for?"

"I need a herb called the Fire Blame Plant in order to save my friend's life. If you hear anything about the herb, please tell me. I'm willing to offer up anything in exchange for it." Everyone nodded.

"President Chen, you're our friend. I will definitely help you with this," one of the bosses said.

"That's right. Saving lives is of the utmost priority. If there's any news, I'll definitely inform you, Mr. Chen," another man chimed in.

"I'll make the call right now to check on this Fire Blame Plant."

Fade thanked them profusely and raised his glass in a toast as a token of gratitude.

Politely, they raised their glasses to Fade's, and downed the rest of their wine after clinking glasses with each other.

At that instant, an icy tone with a hint of mockery was heard, "Oh, it's so lively here!"

At the voice, everyone turned in unison. It was a young man in his twenties, dressed like an English gentleman. In his right hand, he held a cane, setting him apart from the rest of the guests present.

At his appearance, everyone turned to him immediately as their expressions changed. They raised their glasses to him in respect.

"Young Master Chiang, you're here," a man said.

"Hello, Young Master Chiang. We were just looking for you. We want to propose a toast to you!" One of the bosses said, courteously.

"To Mr Chiang!" They offered a toast to him.

In the midst of their conversation, everyone raised their glasses in a toast to the young man.

However, Young Master Chiang snorted and did not raise his glass in response. Instead, he glared at Fade and then said to the other bosses indifferently, "You were raising your glasses at him earlier! Now, you're offering me a toast instead? How preposterous."
