Chapter 48 The Grand Ceremony 1

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 Refinement.

Once he crossed this threshold, he would no longer need to personally water the vegetable fields.

At that time, all he needed to do was to set up a Formation, and every day at a fixed time, 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, “Come on, let’s go to the office. My dad is waiting for you there.” “All, what does your dad want with me?”

Groggily, Greg asked, “Your dad doesn’t want me 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, come on, my dad has been waiting for a long time.”

“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 become the leading hotel in Riverhaven County.

Additionally, with the Elixir dishes Greg provided to the hotel, he had attracted many customers, 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 me call you my esteemed nephew.”

“Uncle, you can call me 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 times, 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 mentioned 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 somewhat 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 comeback. 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 me, I…”

“Sign it,” Lois said.

Lois Abbott came over and personally placed the pen in Greg’s hand.

Seeing that both father and daughter insisted, Greg could only nod and signed his name 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 somewhat lacking in her business acumen, 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 medical skill?

It was a mystery to him.

Therefore, Alfred Webb simply entrusted the management of Reverie Inn to Greg Jensen, letting him become 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 me to set up a time with you, as he would like to meet you.”

“Meet? 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 me use the formula to invest?”

“Haha, that 1 don’t know.”

Hearing this, Greg Jensen was momentarily 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 medicine market, I need to buy some medicinal herbs.”

Lois Abbott looked at him with surprise and curiosity, “Aren’t you in good health? Why do you always buy medicinal herbs?”

Being in good health doesn’t help when someone 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 medicine 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 became friends with Greg Jensen.

Every time Greg Jensen came to buy herbs, Camden Finn would offer him a slight discount.

But this time was different because the effects of the Qi Refinement pills had become minimal, so Greg Jensen was planning to refine an Elixir known as Qi Blood Elixir.

For this reason, the medicinal herbs he ordered this time 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?”
