“Haha, that’s just me being pretentious. Come on, let’s have some tea.”

Greg Jensen smiled, poured tea for everyone, and they started chatting casually.

After talking for a while, they had dinner at the restaurant, and then they each went their separate ways.

Jaden Ford had something to attend to at home, so she left with Damon Milton.

Once they were seated in the minivan, Damon Milton asked with a slightly serious expression, “Miss, who exactly is this Mr. Greg?”

“What do you mean? Is there something wrong?” Jaden Ford looked at him in surprise.

Damon Milton said with a wry smile, “Nothing’s wrong, it’s just that next time you have such an impressive friend around, could you give me a heads-up? I almost embarrassed myself today.”

Surprised, Jaden Ford asked, “Embarrassed? Is Brother Greg’s feng shui skill that high?”

“Not just high, there are so many formations I’ve never even heard of,” Damon Milton replied with a wry smile.

The Ford family’s treasures were passed down to males and not to females, so Jaden Ford knew just a little about feng shui; she was not familiar with the specifics.

And Damon Milton, in fact, was an apprentice taken in by the Ford family. His skills were definitely among the top tier within the family.

That’s why, hearing Milton’s words, Jaden Ford was taken aback.

In amazement, she exclaimed, “That would almost put him on par with Grandpa, wouldn’t it?”

With a wry smile, Damon Milton shook his head and said, “There are many things that I fear even the old master hasn’t heard of.”

“How could that be possible?”

Jaden Ford was utterly shocked.

In her eyes, Grandpa was like a deity. The suggestion that Grandpa might be inferior to Greg Jensen was something that she found hard to believe for the moment.

“Is he really that amazing?”

“Mhm.”

Damon Milton nodded, speaking seriously, “I think that Mr. Greg might come from a secret family or perhaps he has received some legacy.”

“Then… what should we do?” Jaden Ford had never encountered such a situation before and felt a bit bewildered.

Damon Milton chuckled and said, “Miss, no need to be nervous, just interact with him as a normal friend. If we establish a good relationship with him, he might be able to help our family out in the future if we ever need it.”

“Okay, I understand.”

Jaden Ford nodded slightly, her expression a bit blank. She still couldn’t quite believe that Greg, who always seemed so approachable, was actually a reclusive expert.

“Wait, the prescription that Brother Greg gave me… can I take it?”

“Prescription? What prescription?”

Jaden Ford’s face turned slightly red as she quickly explained, “It’s a weight loss prescription, given to me by Spencer Burley a few days ago.

I was a bit scared by all the herbs in it, so I didn’t dare to take it.”

Damon Milton looked at Jaden Ford’s figure and then burst out laughing, saying, “Miss, with such a fine figure, do you even need to lose weight?”

“Oh come on, Uncle Milton, you’re making fun of me again.”

“Hahaha…”

Damon Milton laughed heartily once more.

With a blush still on her face, Jaden Ford asked, “So… can I take the medicine Brother Greg gave me?”

“Go ahead, anything that comes from Mr. Greg’s hands is bound to be good. After you’ve taken it, remember to keep the prescription,” he reassured her.

“Alright, I will,” she acknowledged.

Jaden Ford said, still in a daze, “I never would have thought that Brother Greg was so skilled.”

“Right?”

Damon Milton laughed and said, “That’s why I say, not just for anything else, you also need to take the marriage proposal from the Burley family seriously, just because of Mr. Greg alone.”

“Oh, well… I understand,” she replied.

“””Jaden Ford’s face turned red again as she thought of Spencer Burley’s embarrassed look and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

…

With the renovation blueprint finalized, Greg Jensen could finally relax. After delegating the Dreamscape Garden’s matters to Kingsley Harrison, he holed up at home to start carving amulets.

Although he had some experience from the previous few times, he still ruined one piece. Luckily, the discarded one was Blaire Jensen’s, otherwise, he would have been heartbroken.

He turned the Daisy Young piece into a “trouble-free” plate, which he kept to play with when he had nothing to do.

The remaining glass seed jade had protective charm patterns carved on the back, while the front was carved by Greg Jensen into a scene of sunrise above the sea.

On these jade plates, the most commonly carved images are of Buddha.

Although it really doesn’t matter what is carved on the front side, anything goes without affecting the amulet’s efficacy, but as someone on a spiritual path, how could Greg Jensen carve an image of Buddha?

Once finished, Greg Jensen had planned to deliver it to Louisa Burley right away, but Chestor Ware called to invite him out for a meal.

He thought about it and decided on the Wang’s Club for the dining venue.

Chestor Ware’s visit this time was mainly to discuss the factory construction.

The medicinal herb base in Peach Blossom Village had long been established with all plantings successfully cultivated, just waiting for next spring’s harvest. Therefore, the urgency increased for the medicine processing factory.

Chestor Ware’s idea was to take Greg Jensen with him to meet the pharmaceutical company’s executives and take responsibility for matters on this end.

However, Greg Jensen really couldn’t be bothered with these things.

Understandably, Chestor Ware didn’t have much to say, as without Greg Jensen, he wouldn’t have been able to do business at all on this side.

Besides Greg Jensen, who could provide so many medicinal herbs in the dead of winter?

“Then let Miao Chen have a try. I don’t have that many talents on hand. Let’s start with her previous experience guiding her. Once she’s trained up to par, we’ll let her manage,” he said.

“Alright.”

Greg Jensen spoke frankly, “As long as you don’t make me manage, haha.”

“Haha.”

Chestor Ware could only grimace and shake his head at this.

After the meal, Greg Jensen directly handed the jade pendant to Spencer Burley to pass on. He himself drove back to the village to take a look.

After being away for more than a month and despite frequent calls, he still wanted to go back for a visit.

Lois Abbott had been nagging him over the phone for several days to come back for a visit, and Greg Jensen missed him too.

Moreover, today was Lindsey Wolfe’s birthday, so he definitely planned a return trip.

Greg Jensen drove to Riverhaven County, deciding to visit the branch stores below first.

There are four branches now in Riverhaven County, the largest being the South City branch, managed by Amber Hall, who also oversees the other three branches.

Greg Jensen visited the other branches first and found that the stores now carry not only several high-quality specialty vegetables but also some ordinary vegetables bought from other places.

Consequently, customers with lower income levels also began shopping at the Peach Blossom Fruit and Vegetable Supermarket.

Just half a month prior, the supermarket’s membership had already exceeded fifty thousand.

What does fifty thousand signify?

The small Riverhaven County only had about two hundred thousand residents. Considering an average of three persons per household, it equates to about sixty thousand households.

For things like supermarket membership cards, generally, each family gets one for the convenience of redeeming points for gifts.

Therefore, accounting for almost all the residents of Riverhaven County.

Even if this calculation isn’t entirely accurate, with this scale, the supermarket has almost captured more than fifty percent of the market.

Initially, Greg Jensen just wanted to use the Small Cloud Rain Skill to grow some vegetables for extra money; he never expected the business to grow so much.

“Work hard, and I’ll give you a bigger annual bonus at the end of the year!”

“Thank you, boss.”

The employees, hearing that there would be bonus money at the year’s end, immediately smiled happily.”””
