Chapter 259: Chapter 153: Lord Tong’s New Year’s Blessing (Part 2)

"Oh, you..."

Zhu Min’s attitude had definitely shifted after receiving the five million.

"Auntie, you can accept my gift now, can’t you?"

Tan Hua looped her arm through Zhu Min’s, pointing at the bracelet she’d had her eye on.

"Could you please take this bracelet out for us?"

"Of course."

The saleswoman hadn’t overheard much, but she was marveling at how wealthy this family was.

The mother-in-law had bought the daughter-in-law over thirty thousand yuan worth of gold jewelry.

And now the daughter-in-law was about to buy the mother-in-law a bracelet worth more than twenty thousand.

"Ma’am, the bracelet you’re looking at is 71.55 grams. Based on the current gold price and craftsmanship fee, the price is 25,042 yuan."

The saleswoman enthusiastically helped Zhu Min try it on.

A bracelet weighing a full 70 grams naturally had a substantial heft to it.

And it just so happened that this was the exact type of bracelet women her age loved the most.

Seeing how much Zhu Min liked it, a smile appeared on Tan Hua’s face as well.

She praised how beautiful it looked on Zhu Min, her compliments even more eloquent than the saleswoman’s.

"We’ll take all of it. Here’s my card."

Qi Sheng watched his girlfriend and mother, who were now intently discussing which outfits would go best with the bracelet, and simply took out his China Construction Bank private banking card.

"Right away, sir."

It was the first time the saleswoman had ever seen such a card, and she looked curiously at the long string of 8s in the card number.

"Sir, could you please sign here?"

Qi Sheng signed his name and took back the card.

Zhu Min and Tan Hua, who were busy admiring their new bracelets, only then belatedly realized that Qi Sheng had secretly paid for everything.

"Oh, you silly boy. I told you I was buying the gold for Huahua."

Zhu Min grumbled quietly at Qi Sheng, a little annoyed at herself for getting too caught up in the excitement.

"We’re all family. There’s no need to keep such a strict tally."

Qi Sheng led his girlfriend and his mom out of Chow Tai Fook, then bought his mom a slew of new clothes at the department store.

With Tan Hua, a professional sales associate, lending her expertise, his mother ended up looking several years younger.

Now with over five million in savings to her name, his mother absolutely refused to let Qi Sheng spend any more money on her.

It was only after they left the department store that Zhu Min realized they had spent fifty or sixty thousand yuan.

"Good heavens, did we spend over a hundred thousand yuan today?"

Zhu Min thought about the gold jewelry, the bracelet, and all the clothes they had just bought, and couldn’t help but feel a wave of emotion.

This was a life she had never even dreamed of before.

But she had to admit, it was pure bliss.

How could anyone be unhappy spending money?

"You’ll get used to it. I’ll take care of making the money; you and Dad just need to be in charge of enjoying it."

Looking at his mother’s emotional expression, Qi Sheng felt a complex mix of emotions himself.

In his past life, even if he had wanted to provide for his mother, he never had the means.

’Thankfully, the damned author gave me a chance at rebirth, and even threw in Lord Tong.’

...

On New Year’s Eve, families everywhere were gathering for their reunion dinners.

The system, which rarely made its presence known, had uncharacteristically given him a New Year’s Grand Gift Pack.

Without a second thought, Qi Sheng opened it immediately, eager to see what goodies were inside.

[Ding! Congratulations on acquiring 100% equity in the Banyan Tree Group (current market value: 400 million US Dollars)!]

[Ding! Congratulations on receiving a Deliciousness +100% Buff (can only be bound to a single dining brand)!]

[Ding! Congratulations on receiving 10 Elite-level Talent Recruitment Cards!]

[Ding! Congratulations on receiving 2 Expert-level Talent Recruitment Cards!]

[Ding! Congratulations on receiving 1 Master-level Talent Recruitment Card!]

Qi Sheng was pleasantly surprised as he looked over the rewards.

The famous Banyan Tree Hotel in Shanghai was the most high-end brand under the Banyan Tree Group’s umbrella.

Qi Sheng never expected the system to just hand him an entire hotel group.

Qi Sheng had been worrying about where to find a five-star hotel brand with enough influence to fill the space in the Shengxuan Financial Center after Hoya Hotel pulled out.

It was a classic case of someone giving you a pillow just as you were getting sleepy.

’Lord Tong, Love You!’

The Banyan Tree Group currently had a market value of about 400 million US Dollars.

It owned 18 hotels within the country.

Its strength and brand influence were well-established among luxury hotel brands.

Furthermore, the Banyan Tree Group had never established a presence in Chengdu.

This wave of rewards from the system was practically spoon-feeding him success.

Beyond the Banyan Tree Group, the Talent Recruitment Cards also solved one of Qi Sheng’s most pressing problems.

With a company the size of the Banyan Tree Group, he wouldn’t feel comfortable without a Master-level manager at the helm.

The prerequisite for being a hands-off boss was having employees who were loyal to you.

As for the effect of the Deliciousness +100% Buff, one only had to look at how explosive business was at Spicy King to understand its power.

It needed almost no advertising, relying on repeat customers and word-of-mouth to rapidly become the number one new trending spot in Chengdu!

With this buff, an Expert-level Chef could perform like a Master-level one.
