Chapter 5486

Engine rumbling, Valentina reversed course and embarked on his journey. Beside him, Maria radiated
joy, tears welling up. “Thank you…”

Valentina waved it off, humility in his demeanor. “No need for thanks, especially considering you saved
my life.”

He swiftly switched topics, “Oh yes, given your fondness for Pu’er tea, you’re welcome to manage the
company. If you find it inconvenient, I’ll arrange a team to oversee operations on your behalf. You can
visit whenever you please, preserving your father’s memory by cultivating the tea you desire.”

Moved, Maria responded, “To have the chance to honor my parents is gratitude enough. I’d never wish

Valentina’s tone lightened. “Tea isn’t my forte. I’d rather give the company to capable hands than let it

Maria dissuaded him, her eyes firm. “My father cherished simplicity. He wouldn’t wish for destruction in
his name.”

Valentina grinned, accepting her resolve. “Then it’s settled. The company’s destiny is yours to shape.”

With a pause, Maria concurred, wiping her tears away, a smile gracing her lips. “When we return to
Aurous Hill, I’ll strategize how to run this company. I’m well-versed in Pu’er tea, and with my family’s
experience, I can make a meaningful contribution.”

Valentina recalled Maria’s connection to Pu’er tea, recognizing her deep understanding. Her guidance
had been sought even by veterans in their twilight years, attesting to her expertise.



Maria sighed, “The Pu’er tea that’s been rare in my life, the one to ignite my family’s passion, this
tree… I think it’s from those branches that the farmers cut off from the mother Pu’er. But in the process
of transplanting and engrafting, it has diluted the essence across generations. It’s doubtful the mother
Pu’er’s true essence can ever be replicated…”
