Chapter 48 The Grand Ceremony 1
Translator: 549690339
It had been almost four months since he had obtained the “Yin Yang Harmony Scripture,” and he was finally about to enter the last phase of the initial stage of Qi Refinent.
Once he crossed this threshold, he would no longer need to personally water the vegetable fields.
At that ti, all he needed to do was to set up a Formation, and every day at a fixed ti, the Formation would automatically activate, raining down water on the fields.
“Greg, you’re here.”
Lois Abbott was talking with an employee in the lobby. Seeing Greg arrive, she said directly, “Co on, let’s go to the office. My dad is waiting for you there.” “All, what does your dad want with ?”
Groggily, Greg asked, “Your dad doesn’t want to marry you, does he?”
Lois Abbott rolled her eyes and snorted, “Oh please, I know I’m not worthy of you, I won’t cling to you. See how scared you are.”
“Heh, no, who said I was scared?” Greg chuckled awkwardly.
Lois Abbott snorted coldly and said, “It’s a good thing, co on, my dad has been waiting for a long ti.”
“Alright.”
Following her to Alfred Webb’s office, Greg realized he had thought too much.
Instead of forcing him to marry his daughter, Alfred Webb had handed him a contract.
“This is…”
“This is a stock transfer contract for Reverie Inn; if you sign it, you’ll own thirty percent of Reverie Inn’s shares.”
Upon hearing this, Greg was startled.
Ever since Chestor Ware designated this place as a regular hotel for hosting guests, Reverie Inn had beco the leading hotel in Riverhaven County.
Additionally, with the Elixir dishes Greg provided to the hotel, he had attracted many custors, so much so that it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say the hotel was making a fortune every day.
Correspondingly, the value of Reverie Inn was rocketing.
Ihirty percent of the shares—how much money would that be?
Greg looked at Alfred Webb in a daze, filled with confusion.
Why had Alfred Webb suddenly presented him with such a grand gift?
It couldn’t be a dowry, could it?
Seeing Greg’s wary appearance, Alfred Webb couldn’t help but smile and said, “I rely on you greatly—let call you my esteed nephew.”
“Uncle, you can call whatever you like. After all, Lois and I…”
Often sleep together.
He nearly blurted out the truth!
If Greg dared to tell Alfred Webb to his face that he had slept with his daughter many tis, he reckoned Alfred Webb would have killed him on the spot.
Alfred Webb didn’t notice anything amiss with Greg and continued cheerfully: “I’ve thought about it, with the business at the inn getting better and better, those spices used for cooking the Elixir cuisine are essential.
1 figured it wouldn’t be good to call you every three days, so I thought, why not have you invest with the recipe instead.”
“Uh…”
Greg couldn’t help but be puzzled because he had already given the recipe to Lois Abbott. Why would Alfred Webb ask him to invest with the recipe?
He glanced at Lois unconsciously, only to see her winking at him. He instantly understood; she probably hadn’t ntioned this to her father at all.
“This… isn’t this too much?”
A gentleman loves wealth, in an ethical way.
While Greg loved and was in need of money, he was sowhat embarrassed to take money that was given freely.
Seeing this, Alfred Webb nodded to himself, his eyes full of approval.
In this day and age, many people loved money, but a young man with principles and determination like Greg was rare.
Lois Abbott urged, “Greg, don’t be polite. Leaving aside the recipe, you saved my dad and helped Reverie Inn to make a coback. What’s this little share in comparison?”
Alfred Webb laughed, “That’s right, take it. Otherwise, we might not dare to trouble you in the future.”
“Uncle, you don’t have to be polite with , I…”
“Sign it,” Lois said.
Lois Abbott ca over and personally placed the pen in Greg’s hand.
Seeing that both father and daughter insisted, Greg could only nod and signed his na on the contract.
Seeing that Greg Jensen finally agreed, Alfred Webb’s face showed a hint of relief with a slight smile.
Lois Abbott was sowhat lacking in her business acun, and he feared the worst that his daughter would mismanage Reverie Inn, resulting in a lack of support.
Now with Greg Jensen on board, he felt much more at ease.
Alfred Webb, himself, was a businessman who had been through the wringer for decades, and it wasn’t an exaggeration to say he had seen all types of people, yet he could never fully understand Greg Jensen.
He had investigated Greg Jensen and knew that he was a fool in the past.
But how could such a fool possess such a high level of dical skill?
It was a mystery to him.
Therefore, Alfred Webb simply entrusted the managent of Reverie Inn to Greg Jensen, letting him beco one of the shareholders of the hotel.
That way, even if there were troubles in the future, Greg Jensen wouldn’t be able to just stand by and watch.
“Oh, there’s another thing.”
Alfred Webb suddenly spoke up, “Chestor Ware’s health has almost fully recovered, and he asked to set up a ti with you, as he would like to et you.”
“et? Sure, when?”
“How about tonight?”
Greg Jensen nodded, “Okay, let’s have dinner together tonight then.”
“Alright, I’ll give him a call right now.”
As he spoke, Alfred Webb picked up the phone and called Chestor Ware.
Greg Jensen didn’t continue to stay, told Alfred Webb goodbye, and left the hotel with Lois Abbott.
“Didn’t you tell your dad that I had already given you the formula?”
After they got in the car, Greg Jensen voiced his doubts.
Lois Abbott laughed, “1 did tell him, my dad’s known for a while.”
“Ah, so he still let use the formula to invest?”
“Haha, that 1 don’t know.”
Hearing this, Greg Jensen was montarily stunned, and it took him a while to realize.
It turned out that Alfred Webb giving him shares was not just a gesture of gratitude, nor was it just for the sake of the formula it was far from simple.
He wanted to tie him to Reverie Inn!
That old fox!
Initially, Greg Jensen had felt a little guilty for taking so many shares, but now that guilt had completely vanished.
“Where are we going?”
“Let’s go to the herbal dicine market, I need to buy so dicinal herbs.”
Lois Abbott looked at him with surprise and curiosity, “Aren’t you in good health? Why do you always buy dicinal herbs?”
Being in good health doesn’t help when soone drains you like a little pump,” Greg Jensen said with a smirk.
Lois Abbott’s face turned red as she clenched her small fist, lightly punching him on the shoulder, and huffed, “You bad man, getting indecent again.”
“Haha, I’m at my most decent right now.”
“I can’t be bothered with you!”
Lois Abbott rolled her eyes at him, started the car, and drove to the herbal dicine market.
Once there, Greg Jensen headed straight for Jade Hall.
He had previously earned one hundred and thirty thousand there, and although the owner, Camden Finn, was a bit gloomy, he didn’t bear any grudge and instead beca friends with Greg Jensen.
Every ti Greg Jensen ca to buy herbs, Camden Finn would offer him a slight discount.
But this ti was different because the effects of the Qi Refinent pills had beco minimal, so Greg Jensen was planning to refine an Elixir known as Qi Blood Elixir.
For this reason, the dicinal herbs he ordered this ti were not cheap, and several of them were hard to find.
Even Camden Finn wanted to give him a discount, there was only so much he could do.
Ultimately, he spent over five hundred thousand in total.
Lois Abbott, who was standing beside him, was shocked; after leaving Jade
Hall, she quickly grabbed Greg Jensen and asked:
“Greg, you haven’t been cheated, have you? What kind of herbs are these, to be so expensive?”
