Chapter 1507 Toy Boy
Chapter 1507 Toy Boy
If the Zhao family members were honest in their business dealings with her, she would just let them make money. However, the Zhao family members were ungrateful and did not just stay in their lane. In that case, they could not blame her for turning her back on them. If she reported them, there might even be people who would be sent to jail.
How it eventually transpired would depend on Qiao Mei's mood that day.
"Why aren't you worried at all! I feel so uneasy!" Qian'e said anxiously.
"Calm down. After all, you're now the general manager of the factory. Why are you in such a panic? Have some tea and calm your mind. The show has not even started yet," Qiao Mei said with a smile as she picked up the teacup.
Zhao Fei did not want to get involved for now. He had finally seen everything clearly. None of the Zhao family members were decent people and they were all just scheming against him and Qiao Mei. The more he got involved in this mess, the more Qiao Mei would feel that he was a part of it. It was better for him to not care about anything and just be a slacker. He did not want to be wronged for nothing.
"You're really useless! There's so much money to be made, but you insist on siding with a woman. The seeds are in our hands now. We'll only sell to her if we feel like it. If not, we'll do the business ourselves. No big deal. You're such a wuss!" Zhao Kai said as he looked at Zhao Fei, who was lying on the brick bed and doing nothing.
"Since you're so capable, I wish early success for all of you. You're definitely better off without me," Zhao Fei said leisurely.
"Xiao Fei, take my advice. It's better to hold the money in your own hands. When we make a lot of money, can't you get any woman you want? Even that woman, Li Gui! She will be mine!" Zhao Liu said drunkenly as he sat at the dining table.
"Dad! Why do you waste your breath on him! He's just a toy boy! He depends on that woman to give him money! Let's ignore him!" Zhao Kai said with a look of contempt.
Zhao Fei looked at the father and son in disdain. He did not expect Zhao Liu to still be thinking about Li Gui. He did not know what sins Li Gui had committed in her past life for her to have to go through so much in this life, and also to encounter such a beast now!
Qiao Mei had already sent her staff to Zhao Family Village several times to discuss the price of the seeds, but the Zhao family members refused to budge. They even quoted a sky-high price of two dollars a pound!
"Are they sincere about it or not! If we don't get the seeds within three days, we won't be able to deliver the next batch of goods to the Han family," Qian'e said dejectedly.
"Which family?" Qiao Mei asked.
"The Han family! I don't know what's up with them recently, but they suddenly doubled their order. It was so… so tempting that I agreed." Qian'e spoke more and more softly as she continued, not even daring to look Qiao Mei in the eye.
"It's fine. It's also their fault for increasing the order at the last minute. Both sides are at fault, so we cancel each other out. You don't have to take it to heart. I'll settle this matter. Go back and get some sleep. Your eyes are going to go blind from crying," Qiao Mei said as she looked at Qian'e with heartache.
After sending Qian'e off, Qiao Mei sat on the chair with a solemn expression. She actually did not have full confidence that she would be able to make it in time for the delivery this time round. Although she said that the Han family was in the wrong, it was just a lie to make Qian'e feel better. If they could not deliver on time, then it could only be their fault. If they could not fulfill the order, how could they agree to the Han family's request?
Once they agreed, it could only be their problem.
"Talk to me. Perhaps I can solve your problem?" Xia Zhe stood behind Qiao Mei and asked as he massaged her shoulders.
"I do need your help with this matter," Qiao Mei said with a sigh.
"Tell me," Xia Zhe said happily.
Qiao Mei finally had a favor to ask of him. It was rare for Qiao Mei to be willing to ask him for help. No matter what she asked for, he would do his best to help her.
"Can you help me contact Lu Huai? I want to talk to him," Qiao Mei said as she looked at Xia Zhe earnestly.
Xia Zhe stood rooted to the spot for a long time. It took a long time before he asked, "That's all? That's all you want?"
"That's right. What else do you think it is? How can a woman like me go and talk to Lu Huai out of the blue? It will attract a lot of gossip! It's more suitable to send you!" Qiao Mei said.
"Alright…" Xia Zhe looked at Qiao Mei resignedly.
After Lu Huai received Xia Zhe's message, he rushed to Qiao Mei's place and arrived within two hours.
