The legend of fatherly love in the fairytale manor reveals a mystery
"These children are left behind. Their parents all work in Xialin or nearby. I plan to build a boarding school on this estate so they can live here every day. If their parents are willing, our company will have many jobs. Not only in the factory, but also on this estate, we need people to plant, cultivate, and care for the various flowers and plants. The school also needs handymen."
"Mr. Qian is deeply benevolent and has immeasurable merits and virtues."
Qian Jianjun deeply enjoyed Xue Jiuyue's praise, but he still sincerely confessed more. "Xiaoyue, you're too kind. This is just a matter of course. Our group has thousands of employees in Xialin alone, and hundreds of school-age children. To retain those dedicated employees, I originally planned to build a primary school. I intend to hire the best teachers in the country and create the best primary school in Xialin. This will also save the company money in the long run. Parents are doing everything they can to give their children a better education. Sky-high prices for school district housing are popping up frequently, and the government has introduced various policies to address this. If our group has its own best school, and prioritizes the children of our employees, we can significantly reduce salary costs when competing with other companies for talent. Furthermore, the cohesion of our employees will undoubtedly be enhanced. Furthermore, with a rich teaching staff to serve the public in the future, and such a great environment and top-notch teachers, profitability is inevitable."
"Mr. Qian always thinks three steps ahead and five steps ahead." Xue Jiuyue really admires Qian Jianjun for being able to develop such a business from sending flowers on Valentine's Day.
"Look at what you said, whether it's one, three, five or two, four, six, this is all thanks to you, Xiaoyue. Otherwise, I can't do it."
"What does it have to do with me? I didn't do anything..."
"I was inspired to help the children by you. I've told you this before. But this manor is yours. If you don't sell it to me and insist on selling it at such a low price, I can't do anything about it, no matter how much I wish for it."
"Mr. Qian, this manor originally belonged to you. You used it to do something so meaningful, and I'm honored to be able to witness it, so all of this is yours!"
Qian Jianjun slowed down his tone, looked at Xue Jiuyue and said solemnly: "I can't buy the ownership of this manor. It's yours. I spent one dollar to buy the right to use and develop it."
"No, no, Mr. Qian, how can I own it? We agreed before that if I can't sell it, I can refuse to accept it! Just like you said, sending flowers is about expressing your feelings. I'm afraid that all the girls in Xialin have received more flowers today than I have. I'm already very, very happy. There's really no need for anything else!"
"Let me explain. This estate was originally bought by a father for his daughter. I kept trying to persuade him to use it for something more meaningful, but he refused, saying it was a father's gift to his little princess. After much persuasion, I finally bought the flowers. But he still wouldn't budge on the idea of joint development and utilization, insisting his daughter's consent was necessary."
"So now his daughter agrees?"
"In fact, this father has never had a daughter before!"
"That……?"
"Until recently, he had a daughter, and his daughter just said she would sell the estate to me for one dollar!"
"What? Me?" Even though Xue Jiuyue was always calm and composed, she was shocked. She quickly guessed the answer, "Godfather?"
Qian Jianjun nodded with a smile.
"What is going on? Why doesn't godfather tell me directly?" Xue Jiuyue was still confused.
"Everything I just said is true! Mr. Qiu bought this manor a long time ago and said he would give it to his daughter in the future. Qiu Nian used to come here to play when he was a child. But Mr. Qiu never had a daughter, and I kept urging him to develop and utilize this manor. He always disagreed. He honestly told me that this was a father's gift to his little princess. It wasn't until he adopted you as his daughter that I saw a turning point. Mr. Qiu knew very well that if he gave it to you directly, you would definitely not want it, and I knew that too. Let's make a bet. If I can persuade you to accept his manor, how to use it is up to you and me, and he won't care."
Xue Jiuyue had to believe what Qian Jianjun said. A feeling of happiness of being doted on by his father washed over him. However, his rationality still made Xue Jiuyue put up a final resistance. "You are using moral kidnapping, Mr. Qian. What you mean is that if I don't accept my godfather's gift, none of your ambitious goals will be achieved?"
"Xiaoyue, you see, I've criticized you before. Don't be so petty. It's very hurtful." Qian Jianjun deliberately kept a straight face and looked directly at Xue Jiuyue. "Can this manor be valued with money? This is a father who has waited for more than ten years, or even longer. It's his lifelong wish. I believe I'm not the only one who has set his eyes on this manor. If it wanted to be sold, Mr. Qiu would have cashed out long ago, but from the beginning to the end, Mr. Qiu has never changed his mind. This is the only time he has rejected me in all these years."
Xue Jiuyue found it difficult to refuse the heavy father's love. She just murmured to herself, "This is too precious. I feel unworthy of it. My conscience is uneasy..."
"Hey, I knew you had this problem! So, Mr. Qiu and I decided to set up a fund for the purposes I discussed earlier. Mr. Qiu said you must own at least 51% of the fund. According to our previous plan, we definitely won't be profitable in the first few years. Later on, I've included a clause in the contract that stipulates a voluntary waiver of profit sharing, and any profits earned will still belong to the fund. As for you, Mr. Qiu explicitly stated that he doesn't agree with you signing a similar clause, but you can choose whether to share in the profits."
"So godfather wants to give me a final guarantee, right?" Xue Jiuyue was also very knowledgeable about business matters.
"Yes, he wanted to give his daughter a childhood dream and a safe haven for her when she grows up! Mr. Qiu is truly a man of high esteem. I can learn from him in every aspect."
Unable to refuse, unable to refuse, Xue Jiuyue shed tears of emotion for the setting sun. The setting sun was like Mr. Qiu's smiling face, looking at her kindly and stroking her hair...
"Mr. Qiu also said that if you are willing, you can provide student meals after the school is built in the future." Qian Jianjun's voice came from behind.
Xue Jiuyue agreed without even thinking, "It's a deal!"
"That's a meal for a thousand people. Can one person handle it?"
"Don't worry! Things will work out in time."
"Alas, I lost to Mr. Qiu..."
"What are you betting on?"
Qian Jianjun smiled and replied, "I said you would pay for the children's meals, and Mr. Qiu said you would provide them yourself. I lost. He is like a bodhisattva in a temple, knowing everything."
Qian Jianjun's words reminded Xue Jiuyue of the temple Liu Che mentioned last night. "Speaking of temples, Mr. Qian, you're a local, so I want to ask you something. Is there a Yuezhu Temple in Xialin? I can't even find it on the map."
"Let me think about it, I seem to have some impression..." Qian Jianjun pondered deeply, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "I remember it, it really is there!"
"Really? Where is it?"
"It's the Yinyuan Temple in the city."
"I know Yinyuan Temple, but I've never heard of it being called Yuezhu Temple!"
There's a story here. Legend has it that a group of monks met in a bamboo forest to admire the moon. That night, however, the clouds were thick with fog, and the moon was nowhere to be seen. Finally, the clouds parted and the moon emerged. One monk happily said, "We've all been waiting for the moon, and it's finally here." Another monk retorted, "The moon has always been there, waiting for us to see it. It's the moon that's waiting for us." The monk immediately responded, "The moon has no heart, so how can it wait?" The other monk retorted, "Your heart isn't necessarily true, so how do you know the moon has no heart?" The monks present split into two groups and engaged in a protracted debate. In the end, they even argued about whether the Buddha's true Dharma body was "the donkey looking at the well" or "the well looking at the donkey." In any case, there was no conclusion. The monks simply built a temple in the bamboo forest. Because the dispute arose in the bamboo forest over the moon, the temple was named "Yuezhu Temple". Later, the monks who thought it meant "people waiting for the moon" discovered that the three characters "Yuezhu Temple" together meant "moon waiting". In anger, the monks on one side wanted to smash the plaque at the door, and the monks on both sides quarreled with each other. At this time, an old wandering monk passed by and after asking the reason, he smiled and said: "It is up to them to act, and I do nothing. People without mind cannot wait for the moon, and the moon without mind cannot wait for people. Intention or non-intention, truth or falsehood, all depend on cause and condition." After hearing this, the monks suddenly realized, and so Yuezhu Temple was renamed Yinyuan Temple, which has remained so until today.
Xue Jiuyue could not tell the truth from the story told by Qian Jianjun, and she had no intention of distinguishing between truth and falsehood. She only knew that the "Yuezhu Temple" that Liu Che mentioned was waiting for her.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qian, I have a call." Xue Jiuyue hurried to the side and dialed the number.
"Xiao Yue." The phone beeped less than three times before Liu Che's gentle voice came.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm waiting for someone!"
"Where are you?"
"I'm waiting for someone!"
"Bad Xiao Ming, just wait!"
Xue Jiuyue hung up the phone angrily, walked back and looked at Qian Jianjun apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qian, I have something urgent to do, so I have to leave first."
"Are you so anxious? Are you okay?" The sudden change made Qian Jianjun very worried.
Xue Jiuyue said with a hint of concealment: "Thank you, don't worry. It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that a friend is waiting for me for something important."
Qian Jianjun looked at the sunset that had not yet set in the sky, with a large area of golden light still hanging in the sky. "Can we go later? There is a fireworks show tonight."
"I'm sorry, it's been delayed for so long because of me. Could you lend me the car and return it tomorrow?"
"You're in such a hurry, how about I drive you there?"
"No, thank you. You still have to stay with the children. I'm safe. Don't worry!"
Xue Jiuyue drove Qian Jianjun's car not back to the city to the popular Yinyuan Temple, but instead drove into the mountains.
