Chapter 540: Councilman Yong

"Using robotics to repair damaged tissues." Gabi smiled when she read the newspaper. The Shen Group is really going all out. Even in her previous life, the Shen Group has always been successful in using robotics in the field of medicine. The Shen Group excels not only in the military but also in medicine.

Years from now, Shen Group is going to become a superpower, capable of changing the economy of one's nation. This was the company that was owned by the Shen Family. However, the thing that stands out the most about this company is the fact that they are going to discover a way not just to create new body tissues, but also to regenerate lost limbs.

"Alright, tell Lawyer Oh, to slowly buy more shares of Shen Group." After telling Kasper about this matter, she also sent some documents to her grandfather, suggesting that he should invest in Shen Group too.

"Miss, here is the news about young master Alfons. Just as you said, he is getting closer to Miss Quigly."

"Good. It's all good. You can leave now." Gabi was still in her workout clothing because she just finished running and doing all of her exercises. It has been a few weeks since she started running and she could proudly say that she could now run two kilometers without fainting! Just yesterday, she started pushing her limits and increased the distance to three kilometers!

It was a slow process, but she could also feel the changes in her body. Right now, running on the stairs isn't tiring anymore. And she could now enjoy the cold temperature without wearing a thick layer of clothing. Aside from this, she is gaining weight!

Glen, her trainer, said they were muscles from the protein that she consumed every day and the exercise.

Because her body was getting stronger, the recoil from her gun didn't affect her as much as it used it. She felt relaxed, energetic, and definitely happier.

"Miss, finally Councilman Yong agreed to see you. However…"

"However?"

"He wanted to see you in an hour."

"Oh?" Isn't that interesting?

"Shall I tell him that you are busy?"

"No. Tell him to meet me in the Bobo jewelry store in an hour. Miss… can we really demand the — "

"If he won't agree… tell him this is about the reclamation project." If the rumors about this old man were true, then she was confident that he would agree to meet her. Councilman Kong would think that Gabi is going to bribe him for the reclamation. The old man would never miss an opportunity like this.

"Miss, if you don't mind, shall I start preparing for… the money?"

"No." Gabi smiled. "Let's leave now or we are going to be late."

"But miss… what about your breakfast?"

"It's fine. I am not that hungry." The old man actually thought that she would decline this meeting because it was still seven in the morning. Moreover, the appointment was too sudden. If Gabi would decline, then there is a possibility that she would never be able to meet the old man again.

Dressed in a white pantsuit, Gabi and Kasper arrived in the Bobo jewelry store at exactly eight in the morning.

"You know… we open at nine." The man who welcomed her was Sari. However, this time, he was actually glaring at her. "You are treating this place like a restaurant."

"And yet… your boss agreed." Gabi smiled in response. This man looked too serious and scheming. She recalled the last time she was here, this man actually dared to plant some recorders around her! "I would assume that the thing that happened last time isn't going to happen again?" Gabi stared at the man's eyes. Despite their height difference, Gabi didn't feel intimidated at all.

"Hmph. Just follow me."

Sari turned and ignored her as he led her to another private room this time. "I will ask someone to bring you food. Do you have any allergies? Or preference?"

"Coffee and a bottle of water, thank you."

Sari nodded. This man was really different from the man that he met the last time. Was it possible that this was not Sari but someone else? What if… they were triplets? That is possible, right?

After a few more minutes, Councilman Yong arrived. The gentle smile on his face looked exactly like the smile that he used to give Gabi in her previous life. "Miss Sutton… I am sorry for meeting you like this. However, I am really busy. As you know… I distribute food to the slums every morning and evening, so I am really busy. "Councilman Yong was wearing a simple shirt and pants. Anyone who doesn't know him would say that he just looked like an ordinary salaryman walking down the streets with some groceries in his hand.

Everyone knew that Councilman Yong was simple. He loves serving people; he is kind to everyone and spends most of his salary giving back to the less fortunate families in the slums. And this was one reason why this man was going to become one of Alfons' powerful allies in the world of politics.

"Take this…" Gabi slowly pushed a velvet box towards the old man. She didn't offer him coffee or tea or food. She just gave him the box.

"Miss Sutton… what is… Jewelry?"

"It's a necklace. Many women would love that."

"Miss Sutton… are you trying to bribe me right now?"

"Hm?"

"You just gave me an expensive gift even though this is the first time that we met. Are you trying to bribe me into doing something for you?"

Gabi only smiled in response. "No, Councilman Yong… this is a gift."

"A gift? I have no wife. I only have a son. Why would you give me something that I cannot use? Unless, of course, you wanted me to sell it."

"No. It's not for you or your son. It's for your daughter."

Almost immediately, Councilman Yong's face contorted into an ugly scowl. He glared at her. "What did you just say?"
