The next morning, at the manor villa, Louis had unusually shaved off his thick beard, making him look much younger.
His wife helped him put on a suit and gently straightened his collar. Her husband had been wallowing in despair for a year, and she hoped he could come out of it.
Louis suddenly put his arm around his wife's waist and said gently, "Honey, I'm so sorry you've suffered these past two years."
His wife buried her head in his broad chest. "Darling, I hope you can pull yourself together. We are still young, and I believe that as long as our family works hard, we can definitely regain our former glory."
“Honey, our Amy is all grown up now. Shouldn’t we find her a good husband?”
The wife sighed, "It's not easy to find someone. Most of our friends have gone bankrupt like us. Wouldn't Amy suffer if she married into that family?"
“What do you think of that Chinese man from yesterday? He looks about the same age as my Amy, and he’s so young yet he can come up with so much money. He must be quite a character in China.”
The wife hesitated for a moment, "But...we don't know if he's married in China, what if..."
Louis smiled slightly: "Don't worry, we'll see when he comes over today and we'll give it a try."
"Honey, what if that Chinese boy doesn't like our Amy?"
"Don't worry, baby. As long as my Amy agrees, I have a way to make Mr. Chen marry my beautiful Amy."
After planning something in the bedroom, the couple went to the dining room to have breakfast.
Since Louis went bankrupt, his wife had dismissed all the servants in the house in order to save money.
So now the wife makes breakfast herself. Their breakfast is simple: cheese and bread, plus a glass of milk.
Three breakfasts were quickly prepared, and Amy, the daughter, leisurely sat down at the table and began to enjoy her breakfast.
Louis asked his daughter, "Amy, you're all grown up now. I'm looking for a great partner for you, and I hope you'll agree."
Louis then recounted her marriage to Chen Ze.
Amy understood that her father wanted to marry her off to a rich man so that the family's current financial situation could be changed. She thought of the Asian face from yesterday; she neither liked nor disliked him.
She glanced at her father and noticed that he had dressed up carefully today, as if he had regained his confidence.
To prevent her father from going down a downward spiral, Amy nodded in agreement.
Then, Louis told his daughter how to deal with Chen Ze.
Upon hearing this, Amy's face instantly turned as red as an apple; the method was simply embarrassing.
"Ding-dong!"
The doorbell rang.
A faint smile appeared on Louis's face, and he said confidently, "If I'm not mistaken, it must be my future son-in-law who has arrived."
Amy didn't discourage him, saying, "Maybe it's the bank manager. He's been coming to our house quite often lately."
"Hey...you're such a tease, why do you have to bring up things you shouldn't talk about? Go open the door right now."
Amy pulled out a tissue to wipe her lips, then got up to open the door.
Amy opened the door and saw Chen Ze and the real estate agent standing there.
Chen Ze greeted her with a bright smile, holding a handful of fruit. "Good morning, Miss Amy."
Amy took the fruit and, somewhat shyly, stepped aside to let Chen Ze enter the manor.
Soon, Chen Ze arrived in the lobby, and Louis greeted him warmly with a hug, patting Chen Ze's shoulder as if welcoming a long-lost friend.
"Mr. Chen, please have a seat."
Chen Ze didn't stand on ceremony and sat opposite Louis.
On the sofa, Louis casually recounted the past glory of his family business, speaking eloquently and animatedly.
Then, the conversation shifted to Amy's various strengths and talents, and Amy's face grew increasingly red.
Chen Ze: "??????"
What's Louis trying to say? He's here to do business, why is he talking to me about his daughter? I'm not here for a blind date.
"Mr. Chen, have you settled down in China?" Louis asked expectantly.
“Mr. Louis, I’m only 19 years old and not old enough to get married yet. Let’s talk about Anya Island instead.”
Louis got the answer he wanted and chuckled. "Okay, Mr. Chen, let's talk about islands. What I wanted to say is that I wasn't drunk yesterday. If you want to buy Anya Island, it's more cost-effective to buy it along with the cannery."
"Mr. Louis, how big is your cannery?"
"Um... I haven't calculated that. The factory was built when my father was still alive. If you want to see it, my daughter Amy can take you there."
“Okay, then I’ll trouble Miss Amy to take me there.”
Before long, Amy led them to the cannery. The factory was built on the side of a small river estuary, in a very good location, being both by the river and the sea, which could be considered a feng shui treasure.
The entire factory covers a total area of approximately 6,000 square meters, with the two-story factory building itself covering approximately 5,000 square meters.
Amy explained, "In the past, fishing boats could bring their catch directly to the factory for processing, which was very convenient. 7 million euros wouldn't have bought such a good factory back then. Mr. Chen, you've gotten a great deal."
Chen Ze laughed and said, "I'm planning to start a food company here, but unfortunately I'm new to Greece and don't know anyone who can help me manage the business."
Amy looked surprised and asked, "Don't you manage your own company?"
Shen Xiyu interjected, "Our boss has many businesses, how could he possibly manage such a small company himself?" Her English was much better than Chen Ze's.
"Oh... really? I didn't realize your boss had taken the company overseas at such a young age. That's truly remarkable," Amy praised.
Seeing the two women chatting enthusiastically, Chen Ze went into the factory and found that many of the machines inside were rusty, probably because they hadn't been maintained for a long time.
Shen Xiyu and Amy sat on the lawn outside chatting about everyday things. Amy occasionally steered the conversation toward Chen Ze, and through Shen Xiyu's words, she learned that Chen Ze was indeed a genius investor.
Ten minutes later, Chen Ze came out of the factory and said to Amy, "Amy, the equipment inside is rusty and unusable. Can you help me find someone to sell it off at a low price?"
"Mr. Chen, of course, no problem, these are minor matters. The important thing is whether you are satisfied with the factory."
"Satisfied. The factory is spacious enough. Let's go back and sign the contract."
Amy breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Chen Ze was willing to buy the factory.
Afterwards, everyone got into their cars and returned to Louis Estate.
As soon as they entered the villa, Louis eagerly stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Chen, how is it? Are you satisfied?"
Chen Ze smiled and nodded.
