Chapter 188: Chapter 188 I Was Actually Pinned to the Wall_1
“Silly Jensen, what brings you here?”
The man looked up, and Greg Jensen finally recognized him as Seth Jensen.
He remembered that Seth and his brother Kamden had been brought in by Old Man Liu to be foremen, and it surprised him that they were still working here.
When he heard himself being called Silly Jensen, Greg didn’t feel anything amiss and simply nodded with a smile.
Old Man Liu’s expression changed slightly, and he frowned, “People are calling you Greg now, not silly anymore, why do you still call him Silly Jensen?”
Hehe, I got used to calling him Silly Jensen,” Seth said with a laugh.
“You dare to say that, hurry up and call him Boss.”
“Boss?”
Seth was stunned, looking back and forth between Greg and Old Man Liu.
Greg cleared his throat and explained with a smile, “I’ve taken a stake in the herbal medicine base, it’s fine, you can call me whatever you like.”
Seth said confusedly, “So, you really are my boss now?”
Greg, trying not to laugh or cry, said, “I told you to call me whatever you like, why are you still fussing over this?”
“Alright then, I’ll still call you Silly Jensen!”
Seth smiled happily and then gave Old Man Liu a challenging chin up.
Old Man Liu glared at him but didn’t say anything further, starting to follow Greg and quietly began introducing things.
“Mr. Jensen, it’ll take about three more months before the herbal medicines can be harvested.”
“Three months?”
“Based on my observations over the past month or so, it’s about three months.”
“Mhm.”
Greg nodded in satisfaction, thinking three months was more than enough time for Chestor Ware to build the factory, and then they could start transporting the herbs directly to Jamae City for processing.
In fact, processing on the spot was the most convenient, not only saving on shipping costs but also some time.
However, since Chestor Ware’s processing plant was already at full capacity and building a new one would take too long, there was one for sale in Jamae City.
Once purchased, it could be refurbished and restarted, which, both in terms of cost and time, was more economical than building a new plant from scratch.
Greg stood beside the greenhouse, his gaze sweeping across a vast expanse of white.
Greenhouse after greenhouse were scattered as far as the eye could see, like a blanket across the land.
With such a large area, the harvest would sell for at least ten million, and that’s not even counting the income from the processing plant.
Thinking that he was now a millionaire, Greg felt a surge of pride. He would take an Elixir daily, starting with a month’s supply.
A set of Elixirs, worth hundreds of thousands in raw materials, yielded only six pills, and over a month this would amount to two or three million.
Considering this, Greg couldn’t help but wince again.
Despite having ten million in cash, if he converted it all into Elixirs, it would only last him just over three months.
More than ten million for just over three months, the thought alone was headache-inducing.
“I really need to work hard to make money!”
Greg let out a long sigh, and thinking of the marvelous methods of advanced Qi Refinement, he suddenly felt re-energized and quickly took out his phone to call Camden Finn, the owner of Jade Hall.
He asked him to order the materials needed for the Elixir.
When Camden heard about the need for two or three million’s worth of materials, he was thrilled, but he still asked hesitantly, “Mr. Jensen, you’re not planning anything illegal with all these materials, are you?”
“Don’t worry, if I were doing something illegal, you’d already be an accomplice by now. Just get the materials ready and stop worrying about pointless things.”
“Alright, I’ll take your word for comfort.”
After looking over the herbal medicine base, Greg also took a tour of the vegetable area.
The vegetable sector had always been managed by Second Master, who took care of the daily harvest and the daytime spacing, thinning, and fertilizing with his team.
When Second Master saw Greg, he happily chatted with him.
He explained everything from how to grow vegetables in the greenhouse to the best methods for thinning and fertilizing, his eyes shining with excitement and pride as if he were talking about his own child.
Seeing Second Master so happy made Greg very pleased as well, and after chatting with him for the better part of the day, he drove back to Riverhaven County.
Just as he returned to Love Home Garden, a figure pounced on him.
“Brother, why did you just get back? I missed you.”
Lois was wearing shorts and a vest, her slender thighs and arms exposed to the air.
She clung to Greg Jensen’s neck like a doll, her round and straight thighs tightly clasping Greg’s waist.
The fresh scent of flowers and grass spread softly with her ear-length hair.
Greg’s heartbeat suddenly sped up, and his breathing grew more rapid.
He looked down at the little girl in his arms and asked, “Where’s your sister?”
“Come back just to look for my sister, isn’t it okay to look for me?”
Lois looked up at him, pouted, and hummed, then buried her small head on Greg’s shoulder and gently rubbed against it, whining,
“I missed you, didn’t you hear?”
“I heard you…”
Greg felt like he was on fire inside and quickly set the little girl down, but Lois wouldn’t let go.
“Get down quickly, or I’ll spank you!”
“Brother, you’re so bad!”
Lois’s face quickly flushed red, she punched Greg lightly with her small fist, then slid down from him.
Greg shuddered, took a deep breath, and stammered, “I’ll… go to the restroom first.”
After saying that, he rushed away impatiently.
Lois watched his retreating back and couldn’t help but giggle, murmuring to herself, “I still have quite the charm.”
She hopped and skipped to the bathroom door, knocked, and said, “Brother, come out quickly, I’m waiting for you.”
“Go away! Little brat, get lost.”
“I’m not little.”
Inside the restroom, once Greg finished, he let out a long sigh of relief.
After washing his hands, he took out his phone and called Lois Abbott.
When Lois Abbott received his call, she exclaimed with joy, “You’re back?”
“Yeah, did you miss me?” Greg asked with a smile.
“I did.”
“Haha, then why aren’t you coming back quickly?”
Lois laughed, “There is a birthday party at the hotel today. I’ll come back after they’ve started.”
“Okay, what do you want to eat? I’ll go buy some groceries.”
“No need, I’ll bring something back from the hotel.”
“Alright, then.”
Greg walked out of the washroom, about to get something to drink, when he saw Lois coming out of the second bedroom.
In just that short time, the young girl had changed into a black silk nightgown.
It perfectly set off her creamy white shoulders and her translucent little feet.
For a moment, Greg was utterly captivated.
She walked up to him, her arms wrapping around Greg’s neck, and whispered, “Brother, do you really like me or not?”
Greg swallowed hard, his voice awkward, “You’re still young, don’t think too much about it.”
“I’m not young anymore, don’t believe me, take a look.”
“I…”
Lois pressed herself against him, pushing Greg up against the wall.
At that moment, Greg had only one thought in his mind.
I can’t believe I’ve just been pinned against a wall!
