Chapter 2178: Your Factory Is Like My Factory

Qiao Mei looked at Xia You dotingly and did not say anything. Xia You knew very well in her heart whether Qiao Mei was “tarnis.h.i.+ng” her reputation or not. Among the girls in the Xia family, Qiao Mei got along best with Xia He and Xia You. These two were the “demon children” of the Xia family!

Xia He was impulsive and easily provoked by others. As for Xia You, she made it a point to render help whenever she witnessed injustice. If these two were living in those turbulent days of the past, they might even become bandits and lord over an area!

An Xin and Xu Lan went upstairs to look at some old photos. The rest of them sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted casually. Qiao Mei picked up a piece of watermelon from the plate on the coffee table and handed it to Xia Ding, saying “I guess you should be considered our second elder cousin.”

“Yes, I’m a few months older than Xia He, so I am your second elder cousin,” Xia Ding said in a gentle tone.

For some reason, Qiao Mei felt a sense of closeness to Xia Ding and found her much more pleasing to the eye than her older sister, Xia Bai.

“Qiao Mei, I hear that you own several factories and companies! Is that true?” w.a.n.g Kun looked at Qiao Mei and asked directly.

“Eldest Cousin-in-law, this is my third cousin-in-law. You should also address her as ‘Third Cousin-in-law’ as well. How can you call her by her name?” Xia You said bluntly.

Xia Bai’s expression darkened and she said arrogantly, “I’m older than even Xia Wen and you’re all my juniors. So what if my husband calls Third Cousin-in-law by her name? Isn’t that something very normal? Why are you so fussy!”

Xia You wanted to continue arguing with Xia Bai, but Qiao Mei quickly grabbed Xia You’s hand and gave her a look. Xia You could only suppress her anger and shut her mouth.

“Eldest Cousin-in-law, it’s better that you address me as Third Cousin-in-law. I do own a few companies,” Qiao Mei said truthfully.

They were all members of the Xia family. Even if Qiao Mei did not tell them anything, Xia Bai and the others would eventually find out about it in the future. It was not a big deal to tell them the truth.

“How did you get the capital to set up this factory? Can you teach me!” w.a.n.g Kun said excitedly.

“Does Eldest Cousin-in-law intend to go into business? I remember that one of Granduncle’s family rules is that the family members should not go into business,” Xia You said with a laugh.

“Times have changed. Everyone is doing business nowadays. Besides, I’m just a son-in-law so it’s fine if I run a business,” w.a.n.g Kun said.

“It’s only by chance that I can set up a factory,” Qiao Mei said vaguely.

Xia Bai continued to ask, “Third Cousin-in-law, please tell us in detail. Your eldest cousin-in-law and I really want to go into business. Please teach us and tell us how you managed to set up the factory?”

“My method is really not a good reference point for you,” Qiao Mei said.

Back then, she had sold her ginseng to He Ning for hundreds of thousands of dollars. That amount of money became the capital to start her first factory. After that, she had robbed some people and even s.n.a.t.c.hed her machines back from the customs office. All these activities brought her millions of dollars. She had even stolen goods from others!

Each and every one of these were extremely risky moves which w.a.n.g Kun would not be able to replicate!

Seeing that Qiao Mei did not want to tell them anything, w.a.n.g Kun said agitatedly, “How do you know it can’t work for us if you don’t tell us!”

“Eldest Cousin-in-law, in my third cousin-in-law’s food factory, just the machines alone cost 200,000 dollars each! And that’s in foreign currency! The entire factory is huge and there are at least 30 such machines. Do you have that much capital? If Third Cousin-in-law’s business is too big to be relatable, then let’s talk about our logistics company. We have 40 of those big delivery trucks alone, apart from the smaller trucks. The company’s cash flow is more than 100,000 dollars a day!” Xia You retorted.

w.a.n.g Kun looked troubled. He would count it as a blessing if he had 10 dollars in his pocket, let alone talk about 100,000 dollars! After so many years, the combined savings between Xia Bai and him were still less than 800 dollars!

Xia Bai suddenly thought of something and immediately said, “You have so many factories, so you definitely can’t manage all of them yourself! Surely you need to employ many people! You can consider hiring your eldest cousin-in-law. He’s very capable!”

“That’s right! If you can even hire outsiders, you might as well hire me! We’re relatives, so your factory is like my factory! I’ll definitely do my best at work!” w.a.n.g Kun said smugly.

“Is that so? I’ve always thought that my factories are part of my family business which I will leave behind for my children. Even my husband is not a legal representative of my company. When did it become Eldest Cousin-in-law’s a.s.sets? I’m really surprised to hear this,” Qiao Mei said, pretending to be shocked.

w.a.n.g Kun looked a little awkward. Xia You pursed her lips and held back her laughter. What Qiao Mei was saying was that w.a.n.g Kun was from the same generation as her children!

“That’s not what your cousin-in-law meant,” Xia Bai said embarra.s.sedly.

“It’s fine. I’m quite the joker. Eldest Cousin and Eldest Cousin-in-law, please don’t mind me,” Qiao Mei said.

Xia Bai looked at the dazzling jewelry that both Qiao Mei and Xia You were wearing and noted that the material of their clothes looked very luxurious. She had never seen such things in the northwest! She also wanted to have such a lush lifestyle.
