“We definitely won’t tell on you! Don’t worry! But to be honest, you guys must have made a lot of money there this time. We’re all feeling a little envious,” Chi Ze said with a smile.

“You guys earn more money than us back here in the country! I’m the one who’s envious of you!” Luo Yu said.

“That’s different! Your earnings are in foreign currency, which is a lot of money when you convert it back to our currency! This is so amazing! We’ve never seen foreign currency before!” Chi Ze said.

Luo Yu chatted with the guys about many things in Country M and even gave the leftover foreign currency in his pocket to Chi Ze and the rest as a memento. He also told them about all the interesting and strange things that happened there.

Chi Ze and the other men were considered the managers of the various workshops in Qiao Mei’s factory and their salaries were definitely enough to support their respective families. However, Wang Fang and the rest of the womenfolk did not want to stay at home all the time. Half a year after Qiao Mei left, Qian’e agreed to let them work at the factory.

Qian’e did not give them any special treatment. They all started with the most basic jobs and everyone was treated equally. Whoever could get more work done would become the team leader of the workshop.

Qiao Mei brought them to the children’s room. During this period of time, the children were all at Xu Lan’s place, so the room was left vacant. It was a suitable place for them to sort out the gifts they had brought for the children. They opened up all the gifts and introduced the items to Qiao Mei one by one.

“Can you remember everything? If you can’t, we’ll write it down and leave the instructions with Sister Feng Hua. Then they’ll also know how to use the things,” Wang Fang said.

“Thank you, sisters-in-law. I thank all of you on behalf of the children. Oh right, I haven’t had the chance to ask Qian’e yet. How’s business at the factory recently?” Qiao Mei asked.

Wang Fang and Yang Mei looked at each other. They looked awkward and for a moment, they did not know how to tell Qiao Mei about those nasty things that had happened at the factory.

“We’re all family. If you have anything to say, just say it,” Qiao Mei said.

“Currently, the seeds business is getting better and better and the braised meat business is also doing very well, but… it’s just that the popcorn business is especially bad. We have already closed three or four shops. If this continues, the popcorn business will suffer a huge loss!” Wang Fang said agitatedly.

“Why so? The popcorn business is nothing complicated. We just need to sell it directly in our own shops. How can it do so badly?” Qiao Mei asked in confusion.

“It’s all the fault of that woman named Ding Xiang! She doesn’t even know anything and yet she keeps ordering us around! She makes everyone suffer so much! Many of our colleagues came to complain to us and many people had even left the factory!” Yang Mei said.

At that time, Qiao Mei did not want Qian’e to tire herself out. To make it easier for Qian’e to manage the factory, she handed over the management of the popcorn business to Zhao Fei. She and Qian’e only received dividends and Zhao Fei and his wife had full authority to run the popcorn business. They had always worked well with Zhao Fei and felt that this good working relationship would continue into the future. She definitely did not expect things to end up like this.

“Alright, 1 hear you. I’ll definitely give everyone an explanation, but before that, I have to clarify things first,” Qiao Mei said.

“We’ll listen to you,” Wang Fang said firmly.

Xu Kang entered the room. She quickly walked to Qiao Mei’s side and whispered, “Qian’e is here with Zhao Fei and his wife. They’re in the guest room now.”

“You guys have a chat first. I’ll go take a look at the guests who just came.” Qiao Mei told Wang Fang and the others about where she was going and followed Xu Kang to meet Qian’e and the other two people.

Qian’e sat in the master seat in the main hall with a look of disdain. She had always occupied this seat when she was here. Even if Qiao Mei was present, she would still sit in the master seat. She knew very well that Qiao Mei doted on her and she did this knowing she had Qiao Mei’s backing.

“Sister Qian’e, Qiao Mei isn’t here yet. It’s not so good for you to sit there, right?” Ding Xiang said sarcastically.

This was Ding Xiang’s second time at Qiao Mei’s house. The first time, she had also come with Zhao Fei. At that time, the couple had agreed amiably to take over the factory’s popcorn business. Now, they already looked completely different from before.

“Why do you care where I sit?” Qian’e said sulkily.

“You! How can you talk to me like that! I’m older than you after all. You should actually address me as Sister-in-law!” Ding Xiang said arrogantly..
