After taking a shower, Shu Tangyin came out and asked curiously, "Chen Yun, whose phone was that just now?"
Chen Yun smiled and said, "It was Lao Qin who called. He was passing through Zhonghai on official business and said he had something to discuss with me. I was just about to go and visit him."
Shu Tangyin exclaimed with delight, "It's Grandpa Qin! I'll go with you to say hello to him!"
In Shu Tangyin's view, Qin Lao was Chen Yun's former leader, Chen Yun's teacher, and Chen Yun's elder.
When they last met, Elder Qin, as Chen Yun's elder, presented her with a jade pendant as a gift.
So when she heard that Elder Qin was coming to Zhonghai again, she immediately said that she would go with Chen Yun to greet him.
Chen Yun laughed and said, "Alright, pack up some of the dried radishes and vegetables that Mom dried, and also bring two bottles of the local rice wine that your dad brought back from the countryside as a gift for Lao Qin."
Shu Tangyin's eyes widened: "These are all common, worthless items from rural areas. Is it appropriate to give them to Grandpa Qin as gifts?"
Chen Yun said, "If we're talking about value, even if the gift were worth ten thousand gold pieces, Old Qin might not even be interested."
"On the contrary, Old Qin will definitely like these things from ordinary people's homes."
Hearing this, Shu Tangyin felt relieved and immediately went to pack up some of the dried radishes and vegetables that her mother had personally dried, as well as some of the homemade rice wine that her father had brought back from the countryside, intending to give them to Grandpa Qin as a gift.
While she was busy.
Chen Yun called Lin Le: "Prepare the income and expenditure books of Guolong Hotel and drive over to my house."
Lin Le: "Mr. Chen, now?"
Chen Yun said, "Yes, immediately."
Lin Le was surprised that Chen Yun was looking for him so late at night and wanted him to bring the hotel's account book with him.
However, he did not take advantage of the hotel to enrich himself, so he was only slightly taken aback before saying, "Yes, I'll come right away."
Not long after.
Shu Tangyin prepared large and small bags of local specialty gifts.
Lin Le also drove a black Mercedes to his doorstep.
"Ah Le is here. Help me load these gifts into the car, then let's go!"
Lin Le was stunned: "Mr. Chen, where are we going?"
Chen Yun said calmly, "Military Region Guesthouse!"
Lin Le then learned that Mr. Chen's former boss had come to Zhonghai again, and Mr. Chen and Miss Shu were preparing to visit him!
He immediately became excited!
Mr. Chen even brought him along when he visited Mr. Qin, truly treating him like one of his own!
He quickly loaded the large and small bags of local specialties into the car, and then became the driver, taking Chen Yun and Shu Tangyin to the guesthouse.
soon.
Arrived at the guesthouse.
We arrived at the suite where Old Qin was staying temporarily.
I met Old Qin in the living room of the suite.
"Hehe, Xiao Chen is here! Oh, Xiao Yin is here too!"
Shu Tangyin hurriedly said, "Hello, Grandpa Qin. I heard from Chen Yun that you had come, so I came along to say hello. I also brought some local specialties from my home as a gift. I hope you won't mind."
Lin Le immediately presented the large and small bags of gifts he was carrying.
When Old Qin learned that the dried vegetables and other items were dried by Shu Tangyin's family, he said with delight, "Good stuff, good stuff! My wife and I used to eat these all the time when we were sent to the countryside. We miss them so much."
“I’ll take these things back to the capital. My wife will be overjoyed when she sees them.”
Shu Tangyin said with a smile, "Grandpa Qin, I'm glad you like it."
"I like it, I like it!" Old Qin chuckled and gestured for the guard, Gao Ping, to accept the gifts. His gaze then fell on Lin Le, and he casually asked, "And this gentleman is?"
Chen Yun smiled and said, "This is Lin Le, the owner of Guolong Hotel."
Old Qin nodded: "Oh, I think I saw you at the Guolong Hotel last time, I vaguely remember you. Everyone, please don't be shy, make yourselves at home!"
Chen Yun and the other two took their seats.
Immediately, guards served fragrant tea.
Chen Yun picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "Actually, the reason I brought Ah Le along tonight is because there's a small matter I'd like to discuss with you, Lao Qin."
Old Qin: "What is it?"
Chen Yun said calmly, "When I was in the Northern Frontier, many of my brothers sacrificed their lives. Although their families received compensation, I know that some of them are still struggling to make ends meet."
In short.
Old Qin's face also showed a heavy expression.
While the world appears peaceful, undercurrents are surging beneath the surface.
As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a peaceful and tranquil life. It's just that someone is bearing the burden!
Every year, many soldiers sacrifice their lives to protect the country's borders.
As Chen Yun rose step by step to become the commander of the Northern Frontier, his brothers died one after another.
As a result, Chen Yun developed post-war syndrome, exhibiting negative traits such as irritability, bloodlust, brutality, and the slaughter of prisoners.
Later, due to some other reasons, he chose to retire.
Old Qin said heavily, "It's my fault. I didn't take good care of these brothers' families..."
Chen Yun shook his head: "No, Elder Qin, you have already done a great deal. But some families have special circumstances, so there will still be difficulties."
"I've always wanted to do something for these brothers who sacrificed their lives!"
"That's why I brought Ah Le here tonight. Ah Le will donate 90% of the profits from the Guolong Hotel to the Northern Army every year to help the families of our fallen brothers."
These words were spoken.
Not only did Old Qin open his eyes wide.
Shu Tangyin also showed a shocked expression.
It takes 90% of the hotel's profits every year!
Donate to the Northern Army!
This hotel doesn't intend to make a profit at all; it uses almost all of its earnings for charity!
Old Qin looked at Lin Le: "Donating 90% of the profits every year is too exaggerated, isn't it?"
Lin Le felt ashamed!
Because he knew very well that although he was ostensibly the owner of Guolong Hotel, he actually only owned 10% of the shares, while the remaining 90% belonged to Chen Yun.
Donating 90% of the profits every year is simply Chen Yun donating his share.
Faced with Qin Lao's question, Lin Le bit his lip and said loudly, "To answer Mr. Qin, it's not 90%, but 95% of the profits of our Guolong Hotel."
Now it was Chen Yun's turn to be surprised, and he couldn't help but look at Lin Le.
Lin Le was inspired by Chen Yun, which rekindled his past passion, and he decided to donate half of his share of the profits to the Northern Army every year.
He took out the account book that Chen Yun had asked him to bring and respectfully handed it to Old Master Qin: "Old Master Qin, this is the income and expenditure account book of Guolong Hotel. According to the current situation, the hotel can make a profit of 300 million every year, so our Guolong Hotel can donate about 200 to 300 million to the Northern Army every year to help the families of martyrs."
An ordinary hotel wouldn't earn this much profit in a year.
However, the Guolong Hotel has underground black market boxing matches, so its profits far exceed those of ordinary hotels.
Under normal circumstances, even if someone donates money, Mr. Qin will not accept it.
But he absolutely trusts Chen Yun.
So Wen nodded and said, "Okay, this is a good thing. I will send someone to follow up with you and make this happen well."
Lin Ledao: "Yes!"
Old Qin casually returned the ledger to Lin Le, then looked at Chen Yun and said with a smile, "Kid, I've already agreed to what you're going to do, and I'll make sure the Northern Army fully cooperates with you."
"Now let's talk about something I'd like you to do for me."
Chen Yun asked curiously, "What is it?"
Old Qin looked at the guards beside him, as well as Shu Tangyin and Lin Le, and said, "You all go out for a moment. I have something to discuss with Chen Yun alone."
Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and left.
Only Chen Yun and Old Qin remained in the living room.
Chen Yun was about to ask Old Qin what exactly was going on.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
The caller was from an unfamiliar number.
Chen Yun frowned slightly and answered the phone.
An old, sinister voice came from the phone: "Boy, I am Xiao Chongshan. You killed my son. Now I want you to use all your assets to compensate me, including the Guolong Hotel, the Shu's Company, and the Zhonglong Group. Only then will I consider letting you go."
"Otherwise, I will take your life!"
Xiao Chongshan?
Xiao Wenwei and Xiao Wenbing's father, the head of the Xiao family!
Chen Yun's face darkened: "Take my life? I'm at the guesthouse right now, come and take it if you dare!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone!
