CHAPTER 239: CHAPTER 239 ORIGINAL SIN 48

After rescuing Wan Yan, Shuangshuang didn’t think about it anymore. She was busy trying to create some interesting attractions around Red Dust, because Sister Wang, Sister Bai, and Sister Mei mentioned to Shuangshuang upon leaving that, in a while, they would bring their excellent employees over to Shuangshuang’s place for two days as a reward.

The exact time was not certain, but it could be approximately within a month, which was certain. Shuangshuang thought that during this time, she could create something fun. Shuangshuang didn’t want to make the high-end facilities typical of an amusement park; she wanted to create something with a bit of wild charm.

Before Shuangshuang started to get busy, Li Ming and Feng Jing came over, unloading a large quantity of items from their car, with food, drinks, and entertainment all included, saying it was a token of gratitude for Shuangshuang. Looking at the pile of various items that formed a small hill, Shuangshuang couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows!

Shuangshuang and Feng Jinyan refused the gifts, but Feng Jing and Li Ming were determined not to take them back. They even brought out a large box of cash, stating it was their gratitude for Shuangshuang saving their good brother.

Looking at the stacks of bills neatly packed in the box, which estimated over two million, Shuangshuang’s expression wasn’t pleasant. She felt as if she had saved a life, but others were trying to repay the debt of gratitude with money, as if they were afraid she would cling on to them!

Shuangshuang didn’t want to think this way, but the actions of the other party made it unavoidable. This feeling was truly unpleasant. In her past and present life, Shuangshuang had always been good at making money. Two hundred million was something she could earn back in no time, not needing their mere monetary gratitude!

Anger welled up inside her, and Shuangshuang slammed the box shut with a snap, pointing at the pile of gifts that formed a hill in the hall. Her smile was as gentle as ever, but her words were harsh.

"I just carried the person out from the mountains; it’s not worth as much. As for hard work compensation, these gifts are already enough; no need for additional money. Please take this money back! Furthermore, Red Dust is a business, so please don’t send these kinds of things in the future; it hinders customer access."

Shuangshuang’s displeasure was obvious, and her cold, distant attitude was clear, making Li Ming and Feng Jing momentarily stunned. Then they realized that their actions indeed came off as rich men tossing money disrespectfully.

But, honestly, they didn’t mean it that way! Moreover, they weren’t foolish enough to throw two million at the owner of Red Dust, who could buy land, build houses, and establish such a business. That would be like a new rich showering money on a wealthy landlord!

Li Ming and Feng Jing simply wanted to express their gratitude sincerely. After Wan Yan returned, the doctor repeatedly emphasized how if his wounds hadn’t been treated, or if he were found later and brought out less promptly, he would’ve been dead! They kept praising how well the wounds had been treated in the wild!

Upon learning that their brother had escaped death, Li Ming and Feng Jing were filled with immense gratitude towards Shuangshuang. Wanting to thank her for saving their good brother, they ended up sweeping through a mall, but felt the gifts were inadequate, so in a moment of foolishness, they withdrew two million from the bank and headed straight to Shuangshuang.

Only after sensing Shuangshuang’s incensed attitude did the two cool their heated minds and realize their misstep.

Actually, repaying a life-saving deed with money isn’t necessarily insulting, provided the person needs money and you demonstrate value by offering it. But the crucial point is, Shuangshuang doesn’t lack money.

Even though Shuangshuang has less liquid cash now, she could easily secure tens of millions in loans from the bank using her land and Red Dust. Thus, two hundred million is nothing to Shuangshuang, and this makes Feng Jing and Li Ming’s actions rather distasteful!

Realizing their inappropriate conduct, Li Ming and Feng Jing quickly apologized to Shuangshuang, swearing they had no intentions of tossing money at her, pleading with Shuangshuang to forgive their foolishness.

Internally, Shuangshuang sneered! One was a director, the other a deputy general manager of a company; it was unlikely for them to make such a basic mistake! However, since they sincerely apologized, Shuangshuang couldn’t hold a grudge. A businessperson values remaining on good terms, avoiding unnecessary enmities.

On the surface, Shuangshuang graciously declared she wouldn’t hold it against them, but she resolved internally to keep her distance from them in the future. The plan for long-term cooperation with Quanwei Company would have to be shelved; there are many food companies, no need to focus on just one.

Shuangshuang wasn’t aware that Wan Yan, Feng Jing, and Li Ming had known each other since childhood and had a brotherly bond akin to family.

Shuangshuang also didn’t know how intensely emotional Feng Jing and Li Ming were upon learning that Wan Yan had survived against all odds, leading to her complete misunderstanding of their intentions, thus causing the miscommunication!

Feng Jing and Li Ming, focused on Wan Yan, didn’t notice Shuangshuang’s aloofness and simply assumed she had calmed down. Leaving the gifts behind, they hurriedly departed with their money, needing to attend to Wan Yan at the hospital. Wan Yan’s wound was somewhat infected, requiring hospitalization for further observation.

After seeing off Li Ming and Feng Jing, Shuangshuang stopped worrying about these individuals, redirecting her thoughts to planning some fun activities around Red Dust.

Shuangshuang didn’t have much money on hand, but with more customers arriving, Red Dust lacked the attractions necessary to captivate guests. Like any scenic spot, it required various entertainment facilities developed based on the location, such as river drifting, cliff bungee jumping, and mountain climbing.

While delicious food could attract numerous food lovers, not everyone would drive for hours just for a meal.

Fortunately, Shuangshuang had 150 acres of land, ample space for her to experiment!

During this period, Shuangshuang busied herself with developing a future playground while training fifteen newly hired staff. As the number of guests at Red Dust increased, trained staff were significantly more professional than untrained ones.

After circling Red Dust’s vicinity several times, Shuangshuang recalled a variety show that gained popularity many years later. It involved a challenge game, which wasn’t costly to construct but was fun to play. The area around Red Dust was large enough, and building this game wouldn’t take up much space, making it an excellent fit.
