Chapter 466: Chapter 466 There is no reason to refuse_1
"Then, give the tea house workers a goal, like if they make a certain amount of money, they can build a new house for them or give them some shares."
"That’s right, the leader’s got a point. The money earned by hard work feels more secure when spent."
Shen Dong got annoyed when he heard the accountant speak like that and said bluntly, "Always mentioning the leader; if you’re going to just say who it is and what the orders were, why beat around the bush and keep people in suspense?"
Just then, Chen Yuyan’s mom came out of the kitchen with a basket of rice, her voice as loud as anyone’s in the village, "This child, one day you will have to call him dad. You can’t talk like that, no respect for elders."
Though her words were scolding, Chen Yuyan’s mom’s face was filled with joy.
The accountant then raised his neck and said to Shen Dong with pride, "Did you hear that? You’ll have to call me dad!"
Chen Yuyan’s mom shifted topics so drastically, somehow landing on this topic out of the blue.
Shen Dong felt a little embarrassed; he sneaked a glance at Chen Yuyan, just as she came over.
The girl didn’t show any shyness and diligently served rice to the family, teasingly complaining, "Mom, why use such a thing for the rice, how do you clean it?"
Chen Yuyan’s mom sat beside Shen Dong, her eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled, "What do you know, let your son-in-law say, it’s fashionable, isn’t it?"
"Fashionable, very fashionable." Shen Dong felt somewhat overwhelmed and at a loss.
Theoretically, after Huaxu’s defeat, his mother-in-law should not be so fond of him, so why this enthusiasm now? Hold on, has the old money-grubber come to believe in true love?
"Come on, try these ribs. I tell you, my cooking skill is absolutely top-notch. Chen Yuyan got half of it from me; you’re in for a treat in the future!"
As she spoke, Chen Yuyan’s mom kept picking food with her chopsticks, piling ribs and green beans on Shen Dong’s rice like a little mountain.
Shen Dong felt uneasy, hastily shoveling rice into his mouth, feeling an urge to escape.
Suddenly, his sleeve tightened.
Chen Yuyan, reluctance in her eyes, whispered, "Eat slower, Wang Wei is coming later."
"What is she coming for?"
This was even stranger. Wasn’t it like a family dinner? Why invite Wang Wei?
Chen Yuyan obviously still harbored some discontent towards Wang Wei, glancing sideways at Shen Dong, "What, you’re not happy when she’s coming? She is pretty, and the key point is, she brings money."
"Are you two teaming up to tease me?"
"No way!"
"What happened?" Shen Dong, hearing Kang Yue’s surprised voice, looked up with added anticipation. With such astonishment, could it be the Xiayun Group’s stock prices have risen a lot?
More than a lot.
Shen Dong had brought to Xia Dongqing an advanced logistics model, and Xia Dongqing was also a business expert. After privatizing the Xiayun Group, he cut off the unwieldy businesses and focused on developing logistics and hardware, causing profits to multiply.
The stock price kept soaring.
While still absorbed in the surprise, Wang Wei arrived, the girl wearing a long white down coat, indeed looking radiant and gorgeous.
Upon entering, she greeted her uncle and aunt first, hastily setting down her backpack, she took out a contract. The child couldn’t keep a secret and got straight to the point, "My dad said since you’re lying low, he can’t come himself, so he sent me with two contracts."
"One is a share transfer agreement; you sell your stocks back to my dad, and you make two hundred million."
"The other is an investment. You still keep your shares in Xiayun, my dad sold some land on the main company’s side, got some spare cash, not much, three hundred million. He’ll eventually add up to one billion. This money, it’s for a five percent share of the future Huaxu."
Ten billion, five percent.
In Xia Dongqing’s eyes, the value of Shen Dong had already surpassed twenty billion.
"What merits do I have?" Shen Dong asked humbly, waving his hand and glancing at Kang Yue.
It wasn’t a discussion, it was a flaunt.
Shen Dong was indeed very proud, never imagining that one day someone would think he, Shen Dong, was worth twenty billion.
Xia Dongqing seemed to have predicted what Shen Dong would say and had prepared a recording, which Wang Wei played on the spot, "Little brother, I, Xia Dongqing, have traversed the business world. Remember one thing—don’t forget the well-digger when drinking from the well. I remember the favor."
A single sentence left Shen Dong without any reason to refuse.
Yes, these ten billion were a favor.
Shen Dong curled a meaningful smile, took the second contract from Wang Wei’s hand, crisply signed his own name, and handed it to Kang Yue, "Tell your dad, outside the third ring of the Imperial Capital, green hills and clear waters await, and sooner or later, gold and silver will be everywhere, let him grab a spot when he’s free."
Money could be taken, but favors must not be owed.
Wang Wei nodded, keeping the words in mind and sat down beside Chen Yuyan with a smile. Being beautiful was an advantage; she acted cute towards Chen Yuyan, "Still angry?"
Chen Yuyan tried to keep a stern face but her eyes betrayed her forgiveness, pouting, "Of course I’m angry. Eat up, and let’s get going as soon as you’re done."
"Look at this." Wang Wei was princess-like, her gestures were anything but ordinary.
She took out an ultra-glamorous princess dress, the kind with diamonds, "Isn’t it beautiful? Why don’t you try it on?"
If it were someone else, Shen Dong would surely hold Chen Yuyan’s hand and say they didn’t fancy it, that they had enough money to buy their own, but Xia Dongqing’s gesture made it impossible for Shen Dong to refuse Wang Wei’s friendship.
Shen Dong saw Chen Yuyan still hesitating and slapped her arm, "Go on, such a white dress, it’ll get oily stains here."
At that, Chen Yuyan immediately broke into a smile, took the dress, and ran towards the bedroom.
With the girl gone and the money in place, Shen Dong felt the passion to direct affairs, motioning to the accountant, "Give that person a reply, I won’t break the ecological supply chain.
I will only increase the output products for Hai City. As for whether it will affect the ecological supply of other provinces, that’s not my problem."
"Okay, how about a drink?" The accountant had changed, every move now carried an air of authority.
Shen Dong didn’t refuse and accompanied the accountant in getting thoroughly drunk.
At night, Shen Dong and the accountant squeezed into one bed, with no outsiders around, the accountant’s way of speaking changed as well, unable to lower his pride to ask Shen Dong for advice in front of family members.
Now he looked like a child, eagerly looking at Shen Dong, "Shen Dong, do you think if I make the tea plantation prosperous, I can climb even higher?"
"Got that big of an official addiction?" Shen Dong shifted his position, leaning on the headboard, and bummed a cigarette from the accountant.
He had never been an official but he had watched TV dramas. After a bit of thinking, he spoke earnestly, "You always mention that person but never say who. I don’t ask, you don’t tell. He counts in your imperial connections. If you do well, his achievements look good, right?"
"Right, he’s my direct... damn, you’re trying to trick me!" The accountant’s smile collapsed in an instant, pointing at Shen Dong and cursing him for being sneaky.
Shen Dong had guessed it, and he laughed heartily, then said seriously, "Don’t be too frantic. Once the tea plantation is wealthy, support a newcomer. You, go on to the next village.
Don’t even consider a promotion before you’ve enriched ten villages. Just focus on achieving solid performance. When you’ll truly rise, you’ll have the clout in your speech and actions. With ten villages backing you up, understand?"
"Brilliant!" The accountant was quick-witted and caught on immediately.
