Chapter 309: Chapter 307 - 307 Youth is Back_1

Greg Jensen didn’t ignore his employees like other bosses might. Instead, he rolled down his car window and greeted his staff.

Suddenly, the crowd erupted in screams of excitement.

“The boss is so handsome!”

“Boss, I want to have your babies!”

Facing such bold declarations of love, all Greg could do was laugh wryly. “Have babies? The Year of the Monkey is long over, wait for the next one.”

After exchanging jokes with his employees, Greg made his way to the conference room.

Inside the conference room, besides Taylor Ware, Chestor Ware had also surprisingly come all the way from Riverhaven County.

Also seated were a few high-level managers of the processing plant who had received management shares.

Everyone was relaxed and chatting animatedly until Greg walked in, which was when they all fell silent.

The meeting was really more of a celebration, so the atmosphere in the room was very harmonious and cordial.

“This year, we’ve made a profit of five million six hundred and thirty thousand. I’m looking for your opinions on what to do next.

Should we distribute bonuses directly, or should we reinvest this money to equip our factory with additional new types of equipment?”

Many saw an opportunity to make a quick buck. Greg wanted to discourage them, but they wouldn’t listen and chose to take their dividends and leave.

For those not interested in further investment, there were only two choices.

Either sell the shares to a few major shareholders or allow their shares to be diluted automatically.

Essentially, anyone who wanted to make quick money didn’t really care about their so-called shares.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Both Greg and Chestor Ware, as major shareholders, naturally chose to continue investing, so they didn’t take a dime of those millions in profits.

However, the payment for the goods from Peach Blossom Village was transferred directly into Greg’s account.

Originally around five million, after marking up the price, it went directly over six million. Including the money Greg already had, his cash on hand surpassed ten million.

“Money in my pocket keeps me calm; the ancients surely did not deceive me!”

Ding-dong!

The notification sound rang from his phone.

Greg took out his phone and saw that it was yet another message from the Lin family, looking to buy rare treasures.

Seeing that the listed rewards had doubled, he chuckled. “Looks like the Lin family is really desperate now.”

He hesitated for a moment but decided to hold off a few more days. Revealing the Amulet now would still be too early.

In recent years, the real estate industry had been declining, so the Lin family had started thinking about a transformation, trying to enter the pharmaceutical field.

As it happened, they encountered Greg Jensen bursting onto the scene, and the Lin family was completely defeated.

It seemed that the Lin family had put all its energy into finding rare treasures, sending several rounds of messages every day.

Greg had grown accustomed to this and, putting down his phone, drove to see Louisa Burley.

“How have you been feeling lately?”

“Much better, but it’s too cold outside to go out and have fun,”

Louisa Burley said with a hint of regret.

Her health had improved a lot. Even if she spent the whole day outside, as long as she had an umbrella, she wouldn’t suffer from weakness or fainting anymore.

In her own words, she had been completely transformed.

But Greg still wouldn’t let her stay outside for too long.

Louisa, who was already a well-behaved and sensible girl, also listened to Greg very much. He didn’t allow her to go out, so she really stayed in, having gotten used to it anyway.

“Greg, I heard there’s a new movie out,”

Greg turned to look at her and smiled. “Do you want to see it?”

“Mhm mhm mhm!”

Louisa nodded vigorously, her eyes curving into crescent moons.

Greg laughed. “Then let’s go. I happen to be free today; we can go together.”

“Really, Greg? You’re the best!”

Louisa hugged Greg’s arm excitedly.

Greg was startled for a moment, feeling a softness against his arm.

Louisa also realized what she had done and quickly let go, her face flushing as she said, “Oops, got too excited.”

Greg Jensen deliberately changed the subject, “Let’s invite Magnus Conner and Tracy Miles as well.”

“They went to the provincial city.”

“Then… what about Vivian Shimpson?”

“Vivian went to Mystic City with her father to talk business.”

Upon hearing this, Greg nodded, “It seems it can only be the two of us then.”

“Yeah.”

Not only did Louisa Burley not show the slightest bit of regret, but she also smiled even more cheerfully.

Greg, seemingly not noticing this, informed Annie Stuart and then took Louisa Burley to the movie theater.

After they bought their tickets, they realized that the movie that had just been released today was actually a horror film.

Seeing Louisa Burley already scared to the point of being pale, Greg suggested helplessly, “How about we come back another day instead?”

“No, let’s just watch this one.”

“Alright then.”

Greg had no choice but to lead her into the screening room.

As soon as they entered, Louisa Burley nervously clung to his arm, “Big Brother Greg, let me hold on to you for a while, I… I’m scared.”

Greg laughed, “You’re scared and yet you still want to watch it?”

“I want to watch it, it’s not often I get to go out.”

“Okay, let’s sit over there.”

The theater wasn’t very full, so Greg didn’t bother to find their assigned seats and instead pulled Louisa Burley to a corner seat.

There’s a little trick to watching horror movies in the cinema; if you’re very scared, choose a seat in the corner.

That way, when the ghost in the horror movie comes out to scare people, its eyes won’t be directly facing you.

Naturally, the level of horror will drop several degrees.

The movie started soon after, telling the story of the past and present of a famous haunted house in the capital.

The plot itself wasn’t very scary, but once the music was added, the scenes that weren’t particularly terrifying became eerie and horrifying.

Louisa Burley held onto Greg’s arm the whole time, burying her little head into his chest whenever there was a scary scene.

Greg even began to wonder if the little girl was deliberately taking advantage of him.

Louisa Burley was genuinely scared, while Greg was feeling restless and hot all over.

The softness transmitted from his arm, the faint scent coming from her, and the slight itch as her long hair brushed against his face, all made his heart beat faster and faster.

He breathed a little heavily, exhaling warm breaths that tickled Louisa Burley’s ears, causing her body to gradually soften.

In the end, whether from being scared or just feeling weak, Louisa Burley leaned entirely into Greg’s arms.

The two of them “focused intently” on watching the movie, neither speaking nor moving.

“Big Brother Greg.”

“Hmm?”

“Um… I… I want to move a bit.”

“Hmm.”

Greg slowly loosened the hand that was encircling her waist, and Louisa Burley, using the armrest, stood up.

However, having sat for too long, her legs had gone numb, and she wasn’t able to stand firm, ending up sitting back down.

Not sure where she hit herself, she whimpered softly, letting out a delicate cry.

Greg became a bit anxious, “Where did you hurt? I hope it didn’t hurt you?”

“No… It’s nothing.”

Louisa Burley touched her own cheek, only to feel it burning hot, as if she had a fever.

On the way back, both were silent, and the atmosphere in the car was heavy yet charged with unspoken intimacy.

When they arrived at the Burley family’s front gate, Louisa Burley did not let him drive into the compound; instead, she opened the car door herself, ready to walk in.

Just before getting out of the car, she suddenly leaned over while Greg wasn’t paying attention, kissed him on the cheek, then ran into the gate with her face flushed.

Greg watched her skipping figure, stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt as if his youth had returned.

That girl, in the throes of first love, had managed to leave a deep impression on his heart that had grown cold.
