Chapter 1546 Fired Immediately
"You're not in good health either. Get someone else to go. There are so many people in our family and any one of them can go to the factory. If there's really no other way, I'll go there to take care of things for a few days," Qiao Qiang said with a slight frown.
"It's fine, I have ginseng with me! Don't worry, Grandfather!" After saying that, Qiao Mei left the house with Xia He.
Qiao Qiang still felt unsettled. This was the second time he had been so flustered. The first time was when Qiao Mei was attacked at home.
Xia He thought for a moment and then said, "Qiao Mei, why don't you go along with what Grandfather says? It does make sense. You still have me at the factory!"
"My main purpose is to take a look at Qian'e. The people from the Han Corporation have been very difficult recently. I'm worried that they'll take the chance to come looking for trouble at this time," Qiao Mei said as she massaged her temples.
"Are you still feeling unwell?" Xia He asked worriedly.
"I'm fine. It's not a big deal. It's normal to feel like this when pregnant, just that it's more pronounced this time round. I asked Aunt about this a couple of days back and she said that the baby is very healthy and that I may be feeling this way because I didn't manage to recover the energy I used up when giving birth to Xia Fan and Xia Xing," Qiao Mei said.
Qiao Mei drank water mixed with ginseng juice every day and her physical condition was getting better. As long as she did not overwork herself, she would definitely be fine.
When they arrived at the factory, Qiao Mei could feel that the work environment had gone downhill. It was like a chaotic black market. No one was working seriously and they kept whispering to one another as they carried out their tasks.
"What you see is only a part of it. Some people don't even do any work and just chat among themselves. We have already made a list and we'll decide on whether to keep these people after this matter blows over," Xia He said.
"There's no need to wait. Tell them to get lost now. We don't need these people," Qiao Mei said domineeringly.
"But the matter with Qian'e isn't resolved yet," Xia He said worriedly.
"I know your concerns, but we still have to ensure that the production volume is on target. It can't get to the point that we are unable to produce the normal amount," Qiao Mei said seriously.
In any case, the whole issue with Qian'e was already a foregone conclusion. No matter how well they wanted to hide it, they could not stop other people from wanting to announce it to the world. Rather than trying to block it, it was better to take drastic measures and make these people shut up once and for all.
However, Qiao Mei still needed permission from Qian'e before she could implement her solution.
Qiao Mei pushed open the door to the office door. The entire room was dusty and the curtains were drawn. It had been a few days since anyone came in to clean up and there was a musty smell in the air.
"Qian'e, I'm here," Qiao Mei said as she knocked on the lounge door.
When Qian'e heard Qiao Mei's voice, she immediately got up to open the door. The moment she saw Qiao Mei, she could no longer control her emotions. She stood there and wept loudly, like a lost child who had finally found her way home.
This was the first time Qiao Mei felt that her maternal aura must be very strong. Looking at how pitiful Qian'e looked, her heart went out to her.
"Alright, alright, don't cry. I'm here now, aren't I? Go and take a shower now. You stink!" Qiao Mei said disdainfully.
Qian'e obediently returned to the lounge to take a shower and change into new clothes. After dressing up, she slowly walked out. When she saw that there was only Qiao Mei and Xia He in the room, she felt much more at ease.
"You look so much better now. Come and have your meal. I'll talk to you after you eat," Qiao Mei said sternly.
Qian'e sat on the small stool and picked up the bowl and chopsticks. She ate very quickly and half the bowl of rice was gone in an instant. Qiao Mei immediately said, "Eat slowly! Chew properly before you swallow! Otherwise, I'll get angry!"
Qian'e immediately took smaller mouthfuls.
"It's so amazing. Why do you listen to her but not to me? All my hard work for so many days can't even compare with one visit from Qiao Mei," Xia He said as she glanced at Qiao Mei with a look of jealousy.
"You're about to put her on a drip. How can she not be afraid of you?" Qiao Mei said with a smile.
"Isn't that a common method used in the army? Otherwise, how can we make sure that she stays alive? I'm not an immortal who can bring the dead back to life," Xia He said helplessly.
"Actually, I know everything you've done. I just… just feel very at ease when I see Qiao Mei. She understands how I feel after all that we've been through together," Qian'e said softly.
