Chapter 59 - Celebratory Dinner (1/2)
Was this possibly the reason her father was busy during the time she was in the hospital? Lena felt a sharp pain in her heart. The father must have suffered a lot during that time. She was busy working her own problems that she missed the subtle cues from her parents.
”How bad is it?” Lena curiously asked.
”It was only one area when you were in the hospital. So far, we got information back that it had infected two more farms. It is not just our farms but if it spread more, the company will have a big loss.”
”They already had a small loss when I caused trouble. The company had just gotten back up and now this.”
Secretary Han can feel the worry and sadness from Lena's voice. He continued to focus on driving through.
”Don't worry too much. I will be heading out tomorrow with the best biologists to figure out a solution. Every company will have some fallbacks. And only the strong ones can get back up from it and become more successful. The Shen family business has been thriving for so long, this is just a small setback compared to its history.”
”You're right. The Shen Family is fortunate to have someone as competent as you with us. Your father would be very proud of you.”
”That's too big of a compliment.”
”Says the person who will probably be the next CEO.”
Secretary Han scoffed. ”Don't you want to be the next CEO? The position is rightfully yours.”
”That is a death wish. I am barely keeping up with my work for something small like SHYNE, I would faint over with something as big as Shen Wine Industry.”
”Your husband can take over the business.”
This time it was Lena's turn to scoff. ”I believe that those who work hard deserve it. No matter how better my future husband may be at running a company, our Shen family business has always been about the heart and value. Money had always been second.”
Secretary Han just smiled and continued driving. It was only a while more when they reached the mansion. Lena and Secretary Han entered the mansion.
Like usually, they could already smell the strong delicious aura of the food. Madam Li popped out of the kitchen to greet them.
”You guys are finally home! Lena, take Henry and you both go sit down first, the food will be out soon.” Shen Milli said.
