The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Opening of the Branch i

Wayne Cooper’s heart stirred, and feigning contemplation, he said, “Mr.

Walker, I think we should take a different approach.”

Kenny Walker looked up, puzzled, “What kind of approach?”

“Greg Jensen has a girlfriend, right? We could…” Wayne Cooper blinked but didn’t finish his sentence.

“Are you suggesting I threaten him with his girlfriend? There are rules in our world, calamities should not befall family, this idea of yours seems rather devious, doesn’t it?”

As Kenny Walker spoke, he suddenly smiled, “However, I like it.”

He looked at Wayne Cooper appreciatively and instructed, “In the next two days, find a way to bring her here. I want to see if that kid really is that fond of this woman.”

“This…”

Wayne Cooper only wished to reap the benefits without getting involved in the mire.

Even Hugh Simmons got handled by that kid Greg Jensen; if he angered Greg, he was certain there would be no good outcome.

Kenny Walker’s expression turned slightly stern as he stared at him and asked, ” What? You’re not brave enough to do it?”

“It’s not that, just…”

“Enough, stop beating around the bush. In these desperate times, I have no one else to rely on; you are the only one who can do this properly,” Kenny Walker cut him off.

Kenny Walker patted Wayne Cooper’s shoulder encouragingly and said, “Go ahead with confidence, I’ll cover for you if anything happens.”

“Hmm.”

Wayne Cooper forced a smile, cursing to himself inside.

I don’t buy your crap!

Perry Holmes did so much for you, and just because he wanted an apology for your sister-in-law, didn’t you say you would finish him off?

Kenny Walker seemed to realize Wayne Cooper’s reluctance and, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, promised, “Old Wayne, you’ve been with me the longest, don’t you know what kind of man I am?

Don’t worry, I won’t let you down. Once Greg Jensen is taken care of, no one in Riverhaven County will dare oppose us.

Together, brother, we’ll grow the company bigger and stronger, and I’ll get you some shares of the company. By then, you won’t have to worry about food or drink.”

“Thankyou, Mr. Walker, I’ll make sure the job gets done,” Wayne Cooper assured him.

“Hmm, just be careful when you do it. It’s okay to stir up trouble, but make sure the job is done well.”

“Got it, Mr. Walker.”

“Hmm, you can go now.”

Watching Wayne Cooper leave with teary-eyed gratitude, Kenny Walker nodded in satisfaction.

Once Wayne Cooper left the villa, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a cold sneer.

He had come to realize that Kenny Walker was a scoundrel who was neither willing to share wealth nor to endure hardships together.

Trusting him was less reliable than believing in winning a five million lottery tomorrow!

The dead hare gets skinned, the running dog gets cooked! Even if Greg Jensen really was taken down by Kenny Walker, waiting for him would not be luxury cars, pretty women, and company shares, but rather a cold butcher’s knife.

In case any trouble arose, Kenny Walker would definitely be the first to throw him under the bus.

However, business that needed to be dealt with still had to be addressed, otherwise, Kenny Walker would not let him off the hook either.

Wayne Cooper sighed helplessly, now he could only take one step at a time and hope that Greg wouldn’t take his anger out on him.

Greg Jensen, Lois Abbott, Amber Hall, and Alfred Webb went around visiting the four stores.

Looking at the tidy and clean stores, a sincere smile couldn’t help but break out on his face.

All four stores were now ready, just waiting for the grand opening.

As the ostensible boss, Lois Abbott held a meeting for the employees and gave them a portion of the store earnings as a bonus.

A monthly salary of fifteen hundred yuan plus a year-end bonus made this welfare offer irresistible for the employees from Peach Blossom Village.

The faces of the eight employees were flushed with excitement, and they assured continuously that they would definitely do their best going forward.

At noon, Lois Abbott invited these people for a meal again.

Seeing Greg Jensen sitting next to Lois Abbott, one of them couldn’t help laughing and said, “Silly Greg is here too, huh? You’ve got to stick with Manager Abbott and work hard.”

“Yeah, after this ‘village,’ there won’tbe sucha ‘shop’ anymore. I’ve never seen such a good boss like Manager Abbott before.”

“Mhm, of course,” Greg Jensen agreed, trying to hold back his grin as he nodded.

Shawn Jensen, Uncle San’s nephew, asked in surprise, “Why does Silly Greg seem so much more normal now?”

“Uh…”

“Cough cough, the thing is, I took him to an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor the other day. After one treatment, his condition has improved a lot.”

Lois Abbott held back her laughter and spoke up to help Greg out of the encirclement.

Greg Jensen smiled at Shawn Jensen and said, “Hey, big bro.”

“Yo, so you remember that I’m your big brother, huh? That’s really great.”

Shawn Jensen’s face lit up with surprise as he couldn’t stop saying, “May the ancestors bless us, the Jensen Family college grad is finally going to return to normal.”

Someone reminded from the side, “What ancestor’s blessing, it’s clearly Manager Abbott’s doing.”

“Right, right, it’s all thanks to Manager Abbott. I don’t have much to say, so let me give you a bow.”

Shawn Jensen, moved, stood up and immediately gave Lois Abbott a bow.

A standard ninety-degree bow, not a hair out of place, it was as stiff as if he were attending a funeral.

Greg Jensen’s face immediately darkened.

Lois Abbott covered her mouth, trying to stifle her laughter, then turned to

Greg Jensen and whispered, “Are all Jensen Family folks this funny?”

Amber Hall felt all sorts of awkward and gave Shawn Jensen a look, saying, “Sit down, don’t just bow to people randomly.”

“Uh, okay, sister-in-law.”

Shawn Jensen laughed awkwardly and quickly sat down.

Lois Abbott said with a smile, “Alright, everyone, let’s eat.”

It has to be said, the culture around dining together was really effective. After the meal, the employees were all buoyed up with enthusiasm and got everything ready for the grand opening in no time.

On the day of the grand opening, everyone timed it just right to set off the firecrackers.

The main store also hung banners in advance and sent a message to remind its members, notifying them about the opening of the nearby branch.

“Now that’s better, no need to go that far anymore.”

“Indeed, the store has opened right at our doorstep.”

The regular customers of the Peach Blossom Grocery Supermarket were delighted because before they wanted to buy premium vegetables from Peach Blossom Village, they had to travel a great distance to the main store.

Now, with a branch right by their home, they could just take a short stroll to get there.

On the first day of opening, the four stores’ sales broke through fifty thousand yuan.

Although the main store’s sales had dropped slightly, they were still maintained around a hundred thousand yuan.

With all the stores combined, daily sales soared to one hundred and fifty thousand yuan, which would amount to around four million and five hundred thousand yuan in sales per month, with profits nearing five hundred thousand yuan.

The Reverie Inn, despite being such a big business, only had an income of just over five million yuan a year.

The profits of the grocery supermarket had already surpassed that of the Reverie Inn.

On receiving this news, Alfred Webb, who was far away in Asia, called to congratulate them, and he and Lois Abbott came up with a suggestion for Greg Jensen and Lois Abbott to consider: it would be best to link the supermarket with the inn.

His suggestion perfectly matched Greg Jensen’s own thoughts.

Even before Alfred Webb called, Greg Jensen had already been planning with Lois Abbott to conduct a similar promotional event.

So, with Alfred Webb’s input over the phone, the Peach Blossom Grocery Supermarket and the Reverie Inn did a dreamlike collaboration.

Customers who spent over three hundred yuan at the grocery supermarket could receive a thirty-percent discount voucher for the Reverie Inn.
