Chapter 256 - 256: Giving a Gold Bar

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

That night, Grandpa Cheng wanted Nan Ge and Shen Yanqing to stay over. The two juniors could not refuse. Fortunately, their little uncle was around.

“Grandpa, the couple hasn’t seen each other for a while. Are you sure it’s a good idea for them to stay? Besides, kids like to sleep in, but it’s so noisy in the courtyard in the morning.”

Grandpa Cheng agreed and let her go.

However, before they left, he stopped Nan Ge and stuffed her with two thick red packets.

“This…” Nan Ge did not dare to accept it, but Grandpa Cheng pressed down on the red packet and pretended to be angry. “This is for you and Little Shen. It’s the first time we met, and I did not prepare any gifts for you. Although it’s a little tacky, it’s still a token of my appreciation.”

“Get Cheng Si to give you my number later. If you can’t contact him in the future, look for me. Also, if you’re free, you can come to my place to sit. It’s not far from your school. Call me when the time comes. I’ll get someone to pick you up.”

“I’ll bring them over when the time comes,” Little Uncle said.

“You fool around outside every day. When do you answer the phone?” Grandpa Cheng glared at him and turned to look at Nan Ge with a smile. “Don’t listen to him. If you need anything in the future, call me.”

In the end, Little Uncle sent the two of them out of the military compound.

“You guys can go back on your own. I’ll drop you off here.”

Shen Yanqing responded and turned to look at Nan Ge.

Nan Ge handed the red packet in her hand forward. “Little Uncle, you should take this back.”

Her little uncle took a deep breath. “If he gave it to you, then it’s for you. If I take it back, won’t the old man beat me to death?”

“Besides, do you think this old man treats everyone like this? He’s not doing charity. He really likes the two of you and thinks so highly of you that he’s treating you like one of his own.”

He tapped on the cover of the red packet and smiled. “Open it and take a look.”

Nan Ge did as she was told. She looked at it for a long time under the streetlamp before she could see what was inside.

It was not money…

“Is this a gold bar?” Nan Gels pupils trembled in fear.

Little Uncle raised his chin. “The old man specially prepared it yesterday. He originally said that he would buy you some gifts, but he felt that you didn’t need anything. I said that a red packet would do, but he thought that a red packet wouldn’t be enough. He was afraid that it wasn’t good enough, so he directly got someone to stuff a few gold bars in.”

“I was wondering why it was so heavy.” Nan Ge had not taken a large amount of cash for a long time, so even though she thought it was heavy at first, she did not think too much about it.

“Take it. Based on my understanding of the old man, he really likes you. Come again when he’s free. Don’t be afraid.”

Cheng Si was the only child in the Cheng family in this generation. Cheng Si had not gotten married and had no children at the moment. Therefore, even though Nan Ge was not much younger than Cheng Si, according to seniority, the old man still treated Nan Ge as Cheng Sits junior.

After National Day, less than two days after Nan Ge returned to school, she received a call from Grandpa Cheng. The old man had come personally and was waiting for her at the school gate.

Nan Ge was shocked and quickly ran towards the school gate.

When she arrived, she realized that the old man had gone to the wrong campus. She waited at the door for a while before the Cheng family’s car arrived.

The window of the backseat rolled down. Grandpa Cheng waved at her and smiled kindly. “Youyou, come quickly!”

Because his legs were inconvenient, the old man did not get out of the car.

Nan Ge jogged over and bent down to greet him.

She thought that the old man had come over for something important. She was so nervous that she did not know what to say.

Unexpectedly, the old man only chatted with her for a while before handing the food to her and saying, “People gave me hairy crabs. I can’t eat this at my age.

It’s still hot. Hurry up and take it back to eat.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She was flattered. “Huh? Then what about Little Uncle?”

“That little brat? Isn’t it a waste of food to feed him? What a waste.” Nan Ge was speechless. Well said.

After that, Nan Ge realized that this was only the beginning. The old man would come to the school to see her every few days. Every time he came, he would not come empty-handed and feed her all kinds of delicious food.

Knowing that she was going back to Jiang City for her birthday, the old man even personally made dumplings for her a day in advance and sent them to school. “This is a custom here. You have to eat dumplings the day before your birthday.”

“If you celebrate your birthday here tomorrow, I can make you longevity noodles. You don’t know this, but I was in the cookhouse when I was young. My handmade noodles are delicious. I don’t even cook for Cheng Sian even if he wanted! The next time you come to the house with Little Shen, I’ll show you something! ”

“Ask your little uncle to send you to the airport tomorrow morning. Don’t drive there. The morning rush hour is not safe. Do you hear me?”

The next morning, she mentioned this to her little uncle in the car. Her uncle smiled and was not surprised.

“Don’t think too much. After I moved out, the old man didn’t have any children by his side. If you find him annoying, I’ll tell him not to go over later.”

“No, no!” Nan Ge did not mean that. She quickly explained, “I was thinking that my own grandfather had never treated me so well when he was still around.” In her memory, her grandfather had never even taken the initiative to visit her, let alone cook personally…

With Grandpa Cheng, Nan Ge had another relative to rely on in the capital. As long as she had time, she would visit Grandpa Cheng.

Regarding Feiyun Technology, Nan Ge thought that she would not have anything to do with this company anymore. In the end, at a cocktail party near tne new year tnat sne attenaea witn ner little uncle, sne accidentally nearcl them discussing Feiyue.

Only then did she know that Feiyun was in her little uncle’s hands.

On the way back, she suddenly had a bold idea. “Little Uncle.”

Beside her, Cheng Si had drunk a lot and was taking a nap. When he heard this, he replied softly.

“If I can convince the engineer who ‘ran away from home’ to restart the partnership with Huasheng, then can I invest?”

“What?” Little Uncle opened his eyes. “Investment?”

“That’s right. Aren’t you having a headache over this matter now? I’ll help you resolve it.”

“… Girl, you’re already scheming against me.”

“Why are you suddenly interested in Feiyun?

“It’s not sudden. I’ve met a few seniors recently. They’re all researchers and have analyzed it many times. I actually haven’t thought of what to do in the future. Since I’m a little interested in this now, why don’t we start first?” Little Uncle replied, “But Nan Zhe doesn’t want me to help you.”

“Aren’t we making a deal? I’ll help you solve the problem, and you’ll give me face and let me invest. This is completely reasonable.”

Seeing that her little uncle was still hesitating, Nan Ge continued, “Compared to that engineer, Feiyun is just a pastime. It’s not important at all. Moreover, if that engineer doesn’t come back, Feiyun will always be an empty shell.”

“Little Uncle, you won’t lose out!”

“You have money?” Little Uncle raised his eyebrows. “Of course! I won’t give you an IOU anyway..”
