Free Web NovelChapter 261: Chapter 261: Our Family Can Afford Even Better Places
"Xiao Nian, my father has been eager to meet you ever since he learned you were the one who saved him. When the time comes, regardless of whether we end up working together, would you be willing to meet him?"
He Hongming knew Shen Nian’s main reason for coming to the provincial capital was to discuss business, so he didn’t ask her to see his father today. Instead, he planned for it to be after a decision about the business had been made.
"Of course. I’d also like to see the old gentleman."
Since he was someone she had saved, Shen Nian wanted to meet him too. Back then, she hadn’t yet started learning her master’s medical arts, so saving the old gentleman had actually been quite a stretch for her.
If she could see him, it would be a good opportunity to properly check on the old gentleman’s condition.
"That’s wonderful! I’ll tell my father as soon as I get home tonight."
He Hongming had been worried Shen Nian might refuse, so he was surprised by her straightforward reply. This was for the best, though. Otherwise, if the old gentleman found out his savior had come to the provincial capital and he hadn’t even gotten to meet her, he would definitely scold him for being incompetent.
In his office, Shen Nian and He Hongming discussed his supermarket and the Shen family’s farm.
When he learned that the Shen family’s farm wasn’t even operational yet, and Shen Nian was already in the provincial capital to talk business, He Hongming didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
’It’s a good thing Shen Nian is our family’s savior. If it were anyone else, I’d have thrown them out ages ago!’
Shen Nian wasn’t surprised by He Hongming’s reaction in the slightest. She believed that once he tasted the produce she had brought, he would certainly change his mind.
Seeing it was getting late, He Hongming had his assistant arrange for Shen Nian and her brother, Shen Xiangdong, to stay at a hotel. Of course, it wasn’t some small motel; He Hongming had put them up in a high-end hotel his company was partnered with.
Upon checking into the hotel, Shen Nian was perfectly composed, but Shen Xiangdong, who had never been in such a place, was anything but.
"Xiao Nian, this hotel is so luxurious. How much is it going to cost for us to stay here?"
"Big Bro, someone else is footing the bill, so don’t you worry about it."
’The He Family wants to repay their debt, and I’m happy to give them the chance. For a family like theirs, spending this little bit of money is truly nothing.’
"But..."
Even though Shen Nian said it was fine, Shen Xiangdong couldn’t bring himself to accept it so quickly. He was so on edge that he even sat gingerly on the sofa.
"Big Bro, our family’s farm is going to become big and successful in the future. Our family’s circumstances will get better, and all of us will be able to live good lives! As the big boss of our farm, you need to act the part. You can’t be so timid! If other people see the boss of our farm acting so unassured, they’ll get worried and won’t want to partner with us! Look at Uncle He—he has the presence of a real big boss, you can tell just by looking at him!"
Shen Nian knew that what Shen Xiangdong lacked was confidence and self-assurance. And it was exactly that confidence and self-assurance she intended to give him. She believed that her big brother was second to none.
Shen Xiangdong, of course, knew that a major boss like He Hongming was formidable and was well aware of the huge gap between them.
’But since Xiao Nian put it that way, I have to try my best. Even if I can’t do it now, I have to make sure I can do it in the future!’
"Okay, Xiao Nian, you can count on me! Big Bro will do whatever it takes to become the amazing farm owner you see me as!"
"Hehe, now that’s my big bro! This is a hotel, just a place for people to stay. Big Bro, you don’t need to be so tense. In the future, forget a hotel like this—we’ll be able to afford even better ones!"
