After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 1666
1666 Transferring Business
Now that Qiao Mei could roughly understand Zhao Fei’s past difficulties, her attitude towards him had softened and she did not vent her anger with those people from the Zhao family on Zhao Fei.
When Zhao Fei heard Qiao Mei still addressing him as “Brother Zhao”, he felt a sense of warmth. This meant that Qiao Mei had forgiven him for what he had done back then and let bygones be bygones!
“I passed by the store just now! I don’t know what you like to eat, so I bought a bit of everything!” Zhao Fei said embarrassedly.
“How’s Sister-in-law? How are things at home recently?” Qiao Mei asked.
“Ding Xiang is doing well! However, she can’t travel long distances. I’m a little worried about her going out, so I tell her to stay close to home. She says that she’s not used to being waited upon and that the helper takes very good care of her. She also asks me to say hello to you. She’s very sad that she can’t come and thank you personally this time,” Zhao Fei said.
“It’s good to hear that Sister-in-law is fine. When I have time, I’ll bring the children to visit her. If you need anything, just go to the hospital to look for my aunt. We’re all family, so don’t be embarrassed. Sister-in-law’s health is the most important thing now!” Qiao Mei reminded him.
Zhao Fei nodded vigorously. He actually wanted to ask Qiao Mei for help during this visit. Before he even said anything, she could already tell that he was in a difficult position.
At the moment, not only did he have to support his family, but he also had to keep an eye on Ding Xiang’s health and buy tonics for her. The helper was not cheap and his expenses were high. He must find a job with good income. No matter how hard and tiring it was, he was willing to do it.
“Brother Zhao, my mother is still traumatized by the entire incident and she can’t go back to the factory to work. As for me, I’m pregnant now and Qian’e is the only one in charge at the factory. I’m thinking of getting you back to sell popcorn. What do you think?” Qiao Mei asked.
Zhao Fei quickly stood up excitedly and said loudly, “That’s good! Good! But…”
He was a little hesitant. Selling popcorn was something he was good at, but this was also the cause of the disagreement between him and Qiao Mei back then. He definitely could not work with that previous group of people anymore. If he hired new people, they would all be strangers who did not know anything. What if it cost Qiao Mei to suffer a loss?
If the Zhao family members knew that he was helping Qiao Mei with her business, would they come to the factory to cause trouble again?
For a moment, Zhao Fei was in a dilemma.
“Brother Zhao, you won’t be the one selling it. You’ll be the boss and manage the business,” Qiao Mei said.
Now that the factory was doing better and better, they were starting to produce a more comprehensive list of items. Other than seeds, popcorn and braised meat, Qiao Mei also planned to produce high-quality dried fruits.
Lu Huai and Xia You had already set up the new company. It was called “Ping An Transportation Company”, the company’s name meaning safe and sound. Truck drivers who delivered goods all around the country valued safety the most.
The factory would not be able to grow and expand if there was only a small number of people selling a limited amount of goods. They would definitely need to produce goods in bulk and then sell them through various distribution channels. This must be their long-term goal.
In the future, Qiao Mei also wanted to set up a real estate brokerage. After all, she owned so many houses. She could not just leave them vacant!
A house could not be left vacant and needed to be occupied. If there was no one there to maintain it, the house would become inhabitable as years passed. In that case, the value of the house would depreciate!
Her original intention of buying properties was to grow her wealth!
“I can’t! I’ve never been a boss! I don’t know anything!” Zhao Fei quickly refused.
“Qian’e will help you with the popcorn business, but you’ll have to be the one making decisions. Back then, my family partnered Qian’e in this business. She gets 30% and we get 70%. Now, I’ll give you 30% out of my share. I’ll just keep 40%,” Qiao Mei said.
The fact was that she intended to give this 30% of the business to Zhao Fei for free. Zhao Fei had saved Li Gui’s life, so she would even be willing to give Zhao Fei all her shares in Osmanthus Food Factory. Money was just worldly possessions. If she spent all her money, she could always earn more. A life lost would be gone forever!
“Are… are you serious?” Zhao Fei asked doubtfully.
Qiao Mei took out a contract and placed it in front of Zhao Fei. “Of course I’m serious. Moreover, I’ve thought about it carefully for a long time. I believe that you’re capable enough, but that you just never have the chance to showcase it. The opportunity has presented itself now. The factory will do better and better in the future. I hope to see Brother Zhao’s contributions play a part in this.”
Zhao Fei looked at Qiao Mei for a long time before he said firmly, “Don’t worry! I’ll definitely do this job well! In the future, we’ll have many branches!”
