331: Chapter 325 Juanjuan’s Suggestion 331: Chapter 325 Juanjuan’s Suggestion Near Huamei Electrical Appliances, inside a small hotel, in one of the guest rooms.
Huang Guangyu leaned against the headboard, grabbing a pack of cigarettes from the bedside table, pulling one out, and lighting it up casually.
“Brother Yu, you seem to dominate your business dealings,”
“I never imagined you would believe in divination and fortune-telling, such feudal superstitions.”
“According to you, without Master Chen’s guidance, you would never have thought to take the initiative to ask her out!”
A girl with short hair, looking very spirited and with a slight flush still on her face, leaned lazily against Huang Guangyu’s chest, teasing him with a smile.
“Some things are better to be believed than not!”
“Our five-thousand-year heritage in Yanhuang Country has been passed down, it’s not all feudal superstition; unfamiliar phenomena should be approached with some reverence.”
“As for you, Juanjuan?
Master Chen said that you are my destined wife.”
“Even without the master’s hints, you couldn’t have escaped my grasp and would still be entangled with me for a lifetime…”
At this point, Huang Guangyu’s face bore a teasing smile as he chuckled.
“Stop it, always bullying me!”
Covering her mouth and giggling, the short-haired girl continued, “Your tone seems deeply reverent toward that Master Chen!”
“Since I’ve already been captured by you, it also proves that what Master Chen told you was indeed effective.”
“Based on your agreement with him, are you planning to give him the full reward of three hundred thousand, without missing a dime?”
“Um!” Huang Guangyu nodded vigorously.
“A man’s word is his bond!”
“I will definitely keep my promises.”
“Juanjuan, would you have fallen for me, Huang, if I were a man who reneged on his word and proved untrustworthy?”
Saying so, he wrapped his strong arms even tighter around Juanjuan, the short-haired girl.
“Brother Yu, don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting you break your promise!”
“I just think that right now is the golden period for your career development, where being proactive in business is crucial.”
“Three hundred thousand is not a small amount; paying this reward would nearly drain all your liquid funds.”
“Such an action would significantly slow down the expansion of Huamei Electrical Appliances.”
“With this money, plus my help, conservatively estimated, within a year, Huamei Electrical Appliances could expand several times its size, having at least ten branches!”
Seemingly worried that Huang Guangyu might misunderstand, Juanjuan hurriedly clarified.
“What you said makes perfect sense!”
“Bringing this up all of a sudden, you must have some ideas!”
“Between you and me, there’s no need for formalities.
Whatever you have to say, just say it directly!”
With slightly furrowed brows, Huang Guangyu extinguished the cigarette he had just lit a few moments ago in the ashtray on the bedside table.
His eyes seemingly shimmering with an inexplicable gleam, he looked down at Juanjuan in his arms and said with a smile.
“Brother Yu, here’s what I think!”
“Good steel should be used on the blade.
That three hundred thousand, simply giving it to Master Chen feels like a waste; it should rather be invested in expanding the stores, which is the right way.”
“With your personality, not keeping your word, not giving the reward, is something you definitely couldn’t do.”
“Why not just convert this money into shares and offer them to Master Chen?”
“This way, Huamei Electrical Appliances’ business wouldn’t be affected, and with these shares, your relationship with Master Chen would be strengthened, forming a connection!”
“If Master Chen truly is capable, having these shares might even help boost our business expansion.”
“Besides, didn’t you tell me that Master Chen warned you’d face a major disaster and prison time in a dozen years or so?”
“Just giving him money would mean everything’s settled between you two!”
“But if you gave him shares, with this established connection, he surely wouldn’t stand by idly and ignore your troubles, right?”
…
A truly bright student is just that, Juanjuan sees things very clearly.
What does it mean to ‘kill three birds with one stone’?
Her suggestion just now is clearly such a case.
Hearing her words, a clear light shone in Huang Guangyu’s eyes.
“Not bad for a wise helper, my destined wife!”
“Just as you said, tomorrow, I’ll head over to the Future Information Consulting Company to meet Master Chen.”
“Since he’s optimistic about me and said I’ll have fourteen years of good fortune, I should give him shares as a reward.
He wouldn’t refuse!”
While speaking, Huang Guangyu rolled over, pinning Juanjuan beneath him.
“Juanjuan, I love you!”
“Brother Yu, me too, I want to…”
An indescribable aura filled the room.
Soon, the scene here started to become a bit inappropriate for children.
…
Inside the courtyard of Liuhua Alley.
After seeing off Uncle Ban, Chen Hai returned to the sofa in the guest room.
He had treated Uncle Ban for free, not even mentioning compensation.
Because in his view, given Uncle Ban’s status, even hundreds of millions wouldn’t compare to his goodwill.
“Calabash Brothers, Calabash Brothers, seven gourds on a vine…” Suddenly, the large TV facing the sofa flickered to life.
This wasn’t the first time such a thing had happened.
Hearing the enchanting voice from the TV, Chen Hai already knew what was going on!
Without a doubt, the TV remote would be right next to the Hongming Blade.
At the hilt of the blade, two red eyes appeared, unblinkingly staring at the scene on the TV where the Calabash Brothers save the grandfather.
Really, if one were to point fingers, Chen Hai himself would be to blame.
He had let the Hongming Blade watch Calabash Brothers because he hoped it would learn something from them.
Feeding the Hongming Blade like a king, with two pigs each day, wasn’t he just like the grandfather on TV?
He didn’t expect the Hongming Blade to be as respectful and dutiful as the Calabash Brothers toward him.
But at least, when he needed help, it could strive to help him like the Calabash Brothers!
Initially, when he first had the Hongming Blade watch Calabash Brothers, it was disdainful and somewhat resistant.
But after a few episodes, it got hooked!
Every day it would turn on the TV on schedule without Chen Hai even asking—already able to use the remote control by itself!
“Look, look my ass.
How dutiful are the Calabash Brothers towards the grandfather on TV?”
“I’m kindly raising you, and when I talk to you, you’re fiercer than I am!”
“Every day watching Calabash Brothers, you haven’t learned even a tiny bit of their noble character!”
…
Looking dissatisfied, Chen Hai muttered a word.
“Don’t annoy me, I, Master Hongming, want to watch TV!”
“Keep nagging, and tonight, I’ll go next door to that shrew’s house and drain her whole family dry!”
It seemed Hongming had heard Chen Hai’s muttering, responding impatiently.
The shrew in question had come knocking yesterday because of the daily noise of pig squeals, complaining to Chen Hai for quite a while.
That woman had spoken rather harshly.
Chen Hai felt in the wrong, and when others lectured him, he could only respond politely.
But the Hongming Blade was very vengeful.
Wasn’t it the source of the daily pig squeals?
Just because of this issue, that woman had come complaining—isn’t that dissatisfaction towards him, Master Hongming?
If it weren’t for Chen Hai supervising, it would have wanted to lash out and massacre her entire family right then…
“Fine, you watch your Calabash Brothers, I can’t be bothered with you!”
Just mumbling a few words made Hongming threaten him, leaving Chen Hai speechless, he snorted softly.
