Chapter 120 Rewards
In the afternoon, at a little past four o'clock, Mo Shaokun followed the crowd and walked out of Kyoto International Airport. Tang Weiguo left work before the end of his shift today, which was rare for him as he usually had a serious attitude towards work. However, today he couldn't care less about how busy he was, nothing was more important than going to the airport to pick up his son and take him home.
"Dad." Mo Shaokun walked up to Tang Weiguo with a small amount of luggage, and since the last time Tang Weiguo went to Andai, the estrangement between the father and son had completely disappeared. Now, calling out "Dad" not only felt natural but also made Mo Shaokun feel a warm current flowing through his heart every time he said it.
"Ah, not bad, just a bit thinner." Tang Weiguo smiled and sized up his son, having learned that he would be returning today. He had even dyed his hair the night before, so now his temples were no longer flecked with white, making him look much younger than his 47 years.
"Come on, your grandfather is waiting anxiously at home. After you called yesterday, he's been muttering to himself nonstop. When I went back for lunch today, he'd already started ordering people to prepare dinner." Tang Weiguo patted his son's shoulder and put his arm around him.
Mo Shaokun didn't say a word, but the expression on his face was enough to reveal his mood at this moment.
After 40 minutes, the father and son entered the inner palace and arrived at the front of the Tang family's small courtyard. The old man, with the support of the guards, was actually standing at the door waiting for them, which made Mo Shaokun feel honored and surprised.
He hastily went forward to support the old man and said with some complaint: "Grandpa, it's so cold today and you're not feeling well, why did you come out?"
"Haha, it's nothing. Staying at home all day makes me feel rusty. It's great to get out and breathe some fresh air." Old Tang patted Mo Shaokun's hand with a smile.
After the operation, Tang Lao's body recovered quite well, although he was still weak, but at least much stronger than before. When there was nothing to do, he could still play chess with Long Lao and others, talk loudly about big things, and occasionally get excited and slap the table and scold his mother.
A group of people returned to the house, and after the guard poured tea for the three of them and left, Old Tang looked at his beloved grandson with a satisfied expression in his eyes. He said: "Shao Kun, you have made great contributions to the country this time. Tell me, how do you want Grandpa to reward you?"
Mo Shaokun and Tang Weiguo were both slightly stunned, Mo Shaokun naturally knew what his grandfather was referring to, he was just a little surprised that the old man would mention this as soon as he entered the door, and at the same time, he also had some hidden guilt in his heart, he hadn't been able to tell his grandfather personally but let him find out through other channels, I wonder if Grandfather has any thoughts about it?
Tang Weiguo, on the other hand, had no idea what Lao Yezi was talking about and how his son suddenly rendered meritorious service to the country.
It seems that the old man had seen through Mo Shaokun's thoughts, and he smiled: "You don't have to think too much about it either. This kind of thing is confidential, even within your own family you can't reveal it."
Mo Shaokun scratched his head with some embarrassment and said, "It's just a coincidence."
The old man sighed and said, "What a coincidence! If it were someone else who encountered this kind of thing, they probably wouldn't bother to get involved. The fact that you can notice these subtle clues proves that you always have the country on your mind."
Mo Shaokun suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, he just thought it was interesting at that time and forced himself to join in. However, when it comes to patriotism, Mo Shaokun is not modest, as a Chinese person, if you don't even love your own country, then you might as well be dead.
"Dad, Shao Kun, what are you two talking about?" Tang Weiguo looked at them in confusion.
Mo Shaokun opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment before looking at the old man, who said: "Don't ask about this matter, it has nothing to do with you."
Tang Weiguo indeed stopped asking questions after hearing this, and the family education of the old Tang's house was undoubtedly revealed.
Recently, a research team composed of dozens of top experts from Huaxia secretly entered Ganzhou under the leadership of Mo Hongjun. Currently, only Nan Lao, No. 1, Mo Shaokun, Tang Lao, the research team and Mo Hongjun's secretary Zheng Zekai know about this matter.
It's not that Nan Lao doesn't trust others, it's just that this matter involves too many people. Even Tang Lao was only informed because he is Mo Shaokun's grandfather and has always been very supportive of Nan Lao's work.
"Shaokun, logically speaking, your contribution to the country this time is so great that it would not be excessive to give you a commendation and list you as a model. Unfortunately, this matter cannot be publicly proclaimed, and instead, you have become an unsung hero." Old Tang sighed.
"Grandfather, you're underestimating your grandson! I'm happy to see the country prosper and strong, even if it's an unnamed hero. Besides, when I was doing this thing, I didn't think about what benefits the country would give me. I'm a descendant of the Huaxia people, as long as it's within my power, I'm willing to make contributions to the country!" Mo Shaokun's words were spoken with great righteousness, not pretentious at all, but he really thought so.
"Good! You're indeed a descendant of the old Tang family! Just for these words, I'll personally stand at the door to welcome you!" The old man said with sparkling eyes and a loud voice.
Mo Shaokun only then realized that Old Master had been waiting for him at the door on purpose because of this.
"You and Qinqin's idea of opening that supermarket is really innovative, it's great! It benefits the people and you can also make a profit, this is the way to do business! Unlike some businessmen nowadays, who only think about making money, even if it means cheating and deceiving others. Old Nan plans to invite those old men over to visit your supermarket in a few days, don't bother preparing anything, just let things be as they are."
Mo Shaokun was shocked, and Old Nan actually planned to call all the elders together to inspect the supermarket on Sunday?! What's going on here? Looking at Old Nan's smiling face, Mo Shaokun suddenly understood that this was another protective charm given by Old Nan, or rather, it was the reward given by Old Nan for his own contribution to the country!
Don't underestimate the visit of a few veteran inspectors to the supermarket, this is a signal! I believe that after this incident, no one will dare to make trouble for the Sunday supermarket again, and it will also bring great benefits to the expansion of the Sunday supermarket in the future.
"Hey, Grandpa, would you mind asking Nan Grandpa to put in a good word for us at that supermarket?" Mo Shaokun asked with a smile.
The old man burst out laughing, pointing at Mo Shaokun and saying: "You little rascal, you really do have a bit of business acumen, grabbing this opportunity to climb the pole. Tomorrow go see Old Nan, tell him yourself, I think he won't refuse."
"Alright, got it." Mo Shaokun's heart was filled with joy. He could even foresee that after Nan Lao and the others inspected Sunday Supermarket and wrote a plaque for it, Sunday Supermarket would enter the fast track of development! This also meant that he would be able to earn more money and expand his dream business empire!
It seems that I have to call Qin Xiang and Zhang Xiaodong soon, although the old man said not to prepare anything, but that's just what he said. If you really don't need to prepare, then why would the old man mention this?
