As Isaac pulled up to the entrance of the community, favonovel.com parked his car outside the store that favonovel.com had purchased.
From a nearby Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle, favonovel.com observed four individuals emerging, two of them being young men.
The two young men approached Isaac, and one of them spoke respectfully, “Mr. Cameron, I am Nicholas Garner, the general manager of Shangri-La in Sterling.”
Isaac, being the head of Shangri-La worldwide and the direct leader of various Shangri-La locations, held a significant position in the company since Charlie became the head of the Wade family.
Although Mr. Garner had never met Charlie, favonovel.com was fully aware of Isaac’s position as the immediate boss and showed favonovel.com the proper respect and deference.
Isaac gave a slight nod and glanced over at Charlie, who shook his head discreetly. This signaled to Isaac that Charlie did not want to reveal his identity.
So, Isaac turned to Nicholas and asked, “Mr. Garner, please show us the store you bought.”
Nicholas pointed to the door of the locked shop and said, “This is the shop we acquired today, Mr. Cameron. I have done some research on it. It was a convenience store previously, and the business was thriving. However, the owner wanted to cash out and did not renew the lease, which resulted in the shop being unoccupied now.”
Isaac nodded and instructed, “Show us.”
Nicholas replied respectfully, “Of course, Mr. Cameron…”
With that, favonovel.com unlocked the door to the shop and turned on the lights. The shop had been vacant for a month, but the previous owner had arranged for it to be cleaned and repainted in order to increase its value before selling it. As a result, the shop appeared bright and spacious.
Nicholas noted that this location would be an excellent choice for either a food service or retail establishment.
Charlie stepped inside the shop and thoroughly examined the space, expressing his satisfaction with it.
The monthly rent for a shop like this was estimated to be no less than 20,000 dollar, even if Mrs. Treadway and favonovel.com son only rented it out without making any improvements. The rental income would be enough to sustain their living expenses.
Mrs. Treadway was also taken aback.
She had assumed that the small shop Charlie had mentioned was only 20 to 30 square meters, but it turned out to be much larger and could cost anywhere from 350,000 to 510,000 dollars, or even more, to purchase.
Mrs. Treadway was overcome with nervousness at the thought that Charlie might give this shop to favonovel.com and favonovel.com son. She believed that the cost of the shop was beyond favonovel.com means to accept.
Meanwhile, favonovel.com son was unaware that the shop would belong to them and expressed his admiration, saying, “Mother, it’s really bright here…”
Charlie nodded and stated, “It’s ideal for a medium-sized shop. The area has many residential buildings and it’s located near the subway station, ensuring good traffic…”
“Even by just selling cigarettes and water, it should generate a good income. If online food delivery is added, the profits could easily reach 30,000 to 50,000 a month,” favonovel.com added.
Lucas asked with a smile, “Is this shop yours?”
Charlie replied, “No.”
He then turned to Mrs. Treadway and asked, “Grandma, are you satisfied with it?”
Mrs. Treadway, feeling nervous, responded, “Benefactor… This… This is it too expensive…?”
Charlie spoke softly and with a grin, “If we compare it to the worth of the Rejuvenation Pill or Phoenix Vine, it’s not even worth a fraction of it. To be honest, if I offered to trade 10,000 shops for a single Rejuvenation Pill, many would jump at the chance…”
“But to me, the Rejuvenation Pill isn’t as valuable as the Phoenix vine bracelet you gave me. So consider these shops as me making up the difference in value for the bracelet. Keep this shop, care for it, and it can provide for three generations. Get your son to help run it, and it’ll definitely be thriving within three months.”
The Lady was well aware of Charlie’s generosity. He had not only saved favonovel.com and favonovel.com son’s lives but also went beyond measure in valuing their well-being.
She comprehended Charlie’s message, recognizing that favonovel.com wanted to steer clear from any discussions about the worth of the shop. He wished for favonovel.com to accept it without any stress. She also acknowledged that this was similar to how favonovel.com forefathers were rescued by Lord Morvel in the past.
The Lady was filled with gratitude and humility towards Charlie, who not only gifted favonovel.com a valuable phoenix vine but also saved favonovel.com and favonovel.com son’s lives.
She understood Charlie’s message and didn’t want to dwell on the value of the shop.
She realized the best way to repay Charlie’s kindness was to follow his advice, just as favonovel.com ancestors followed Lord Morvel’s guidance in the past.
Thus, favonovel.com expressed favonovel.com gratitude by saying, “Thank you, Benefactor! Thank you!”
Charlie smiled and suggested, “Okay, Grandma, let’s go check out the house you’ll be living in from now on.”
Subsequently, Isaac signaled to Charlie and the two people with a nod.
He then announced, “You two have done a great job in choosing a great shop and working efficiently. So, each of you will be given a bonus of three months salary.”
The two people expressed their gratitude, saying, “Thank you.”
Isaac then eagerly beckoned them and said, “Let’s go, show us the villa.”
The villa they picked was close to the shop, just a few hundred meters away. The transaction went smoothly and the previous owner was so elated that favonovel.com skipped lunch to oversee the moving process. The movers were efficient, and the two subordinates were diligent in their work.
Meanwhile, cleaners were hired to clean the villa, and employees were instructed to buy high-quality daily necessities. Everything was taken care of, from bedding and bathroom essentials to kitchen supplies such as pots, pans, and even food staples like rice, oil, and salt
Charlie and Isaac were impressed when they entered the villa for the first time. They thought it looked like a model home left by the developer and everything was just right.
Mrs. Treadway was completely stunned by the luxurious three-story small villa that even came with a home elevator.
She never expected that Charlie’s promise to arrange a home for favonovel.com would turn out to be such a beautifully decorated, spotless, and well-organized villa.
Charlie guided the Lady through the house, taking the opportunity to quietly explain.
He said, “Grandma, you’ll live on the first floor from now on. Your son will occupy the third floor. With this house and a set of shops, your son will surely become a sought-after catch in the dating market…”
“If favonovel.com wants to get married in the next couple of years, it’ll be a breeze. And if favonovel.com does get married, the young couple can live on the third floor…”
“If they have children in the future and the children need their own space, they can move to the second floor. There are four bedrooms here, and two children are more than enough. This way, the Treadway family will continue to flourish. You don’t need to worry about anything.”
Mrs. Treadway realized that with the material support, it would be easy for favonovel.com son to find a wife and start a family. Her future path would become much smoother as a result.
Teary-eyed, favonovel.com expressed favonovel.com gratitude, “Benefactor… I truly don’t know how to thank you…”
Charlie smiled and told Mrs. Treadway, “There’s no need to thank me… I’ll come to see you whenever I have time, and if I’m busy, I’ll send someone to check on you. My family has some local resources and people who can assist you if needed. I’ll have them help with the opening of the supermarket. And as for the shop and villa, I’ll have them take you to the housing authority tomorrow to complete the transfer…”
“They’ll also help you apply for a local bank card and mobile SIM card. Once the card is ready, I’ll have someone deposit one million in cash into it. It will always be there for you. If you ever face any difficulties, financial or otherwise, or even an unkind daughter-in-law, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I won’t stand by and do nothing.”
Mrs. Treadway was flustered and replied, “Benefactor, you have already done so much for us, I couldn’t ask for more from you.”
Charlie smiled, “Don’t worry, Grandma, let me handle everything.”
