Chapter 29 - It Was My Sincerity
Above all, President Chen had valid reasons.
Our bank intends to host an event, but we're lacking a suitable venue.
Consequently, we feel indebted to you.
Thus, we'd like to express our gratitude.
Please, do not decline!
Su Ming couldn't find any objections.
“There's really no need for that.”
Su Ming blinked in response.
To be frank, accepting it would weigh heavily on his conscience.
Truth be told, he might not even have much interest in the offering.
“What do you mean?”
Su Ming's words left President Chen startled, his face reflecting a mix of confusion and concern. He turned to the vice president, appearing helpless, before returning his gaze to Su Ming. “I understand that you might not find this sufficient. Why don't I arrange for more?”
Su Ming wanted to give him a hearty thumbs-up at that moment!
Refusing would give President Chen the impression that he disliked the gift.
Reluctantly, Su Ming accepted the item in hand. “Alright, I'll accept it, then.”
Su Ming now grasped why some people struggled to decline gifts from others.
It was often because the gift-giver was overly persuasive.
“Thank you, Mr. Su.”
President Chen displayed an expression of surprise.
Su Ming couldn't help but twitch the corner of his eye once more.
In most cases, others were compelled to offer gifts, but this time, Su Ming willingly received them.
“President Chen, I appreciate your kind gesture. Perhaps I'll have some business to attend to in the near future. At that time, I may need your assistance.”
Su Ming gently patted President Chen on the shoulder.
“No problem, we'd be more than happy to assist!”
President Chen beamed with delight upon hearing this.
His objective had been attained!
Wasn't this precisely what he had desired?
President Chen had underestimated his own capabilities.
Su Ming would forever remember this act of kindness.
President Chen's actions had genuinely surprised Su Ming.
“Then we shall take our leave now. Mr. Su, we won't trouble you any further,” President Chen declared.
With that, President Chen gestured, and all the employees returned to their cars.
This was his modus operandi; he knew when to draw the line.
They had already completed the task of clearing the weeds, achieving their objective. There was no reason for them to linger any longer.
Even if he felt reluctant to depart, he had to make a resolute exit.
After all, it had only been their second encounter. He still had ample opportunities to build a rapport with Su Ming in the future.
After some time, Su Ming found himself alone at the scene.
Smiling, Su Ming shook his head and utilized the System to gather the cleared weeds.
In truth, Su Ming didn't harbor any ill feelings toward President Chen's actions.
Perhaps he could plant some valuable herbs in the ground.
In the future, he might need to rely on them when selling such items.
Su Ming settled into the adjacent recliner, opening the box to inspect its contents.
Inside lay a ginseng root.
While it didn't weigh seven taels, it was still a substantial six taels.
Its value was considerable.
If he were to auction this ginseng, it would undoubtedly incite a fierce bidding war.
However, Su Ming remained tranquil, wearing a calm smile.
Rising from his seat, he opened the box and planted the ginseng.
President Chen and his team journeyed back, contented.
