Chapter 1673 Full Confidence
"But this thing can't be done without you either. The two of you are equally important," Qiao Mei said as she hugged Xia Zhe.
After considering it thoroughly, Qiao Mei decided to let Xu Lan take care of the children for the time being. After all, it was more secure in that neighborhood. After the hard lesson learnt from the last time, everyone would definitely be fully attentive to the children's safety. Luo Yu was also the best among all the guards, so that would also reduce the possibility of any incidents.
After solving the manpower issue, Qiao Mei started to worry about the seeds. This 1,000 mu land needed at least 100,000 pounds of planting seeds. Although she could use energy to produce them quickly, where could she store such a huge amount of seeds?
In addition, how could she explain to Xia Wen about the origins of these seeds? She could not possibly use the same excuse that she had brought them along when she first came to the capital!
That day, Qiao Mei had been caught off guard by their conversation and did not think carefully about what Xia Wen said. It was only after Xia Wen left that Qiao Mei remembered that she had actually brought two sacks of seeds with her when she came to the capital. Xia Wen also knew about this matter. She did not expect Xia Wen to have tricked her to test her reaction.
However, Xia Wen did not expose her, which proved that he truly wanted to protect her. Like Qiao Qiang, he chose to protect her by keeping quiet.
Qiao Mei had no choice but to go to the backyard to look for Qiao Qiang to corroborate her lie. She told him about the details of her project with the government. He was a smart person and immediately knew what she wanted to do.
Qiao Qiang had seen the 10,000-year-old ginsengs she kept at home. Even the ginsengs she put inside the wine barrel were at least 100 years old. There were more than 10 of them, both big and small ones!
Liu Yang had searched for so many years but never even managed to find a 100-year-old ginseng. Even a 50-year-old ginseng was rare. If Qiao Mei was just a normal person, how could she have obtained so many treasures?
In this world, there were probably very few ginsengs that could survive for 10,000 years, but Qiao Mei had at least five or six in her possession.
Qiao Qiang did not care about the details. As long as Qiao Mei lived well and was healthy and happy, nothing else mattered to him. He had brought her up and even almost lost her when she was younger. He could not accept the possibility of losing her again.
He only knew that Qiao Mei was his granddaughter.
"Don't worry, I know what to do," Qiao Qiang said.
Qiao Qiang returned to the house and made a call to Chi Ze. "Hello, Xiao Chi! Help me rent a warehouse in a remote and quiet place. I want a very, very big warehouse. The rent doesn't matter, but the place must be remote and the warehouse must be very big."
"Alright, I'll ask around now!" After saying that, Chi Ze hung up the phone and went to ask around. Qiao Qiang was Qiao Mei's grandfather, so he could be considered the boss as well. As long as it was something the boss wanted, he would do it without any question.
Qiao Mei felt touched as she looked at Qiao Qiang's departing figure. She was really lucky and blessed to have someone who fully believed in her.
Chi Ze found many people to help him out. At noon the next day, he came to pick up Qiao Mei and Qiao Qiang to go and take a look at the warehouse. Xia Zhe had gone to the army unit in the capital for a meeting and the two children had not been sent to Xu Lan's place yet. She was worried about leaving the children at home, so she had no choice but to bring them along.
The big group of people arrived at an unoccupied warehouse located by the river in the suburbs. This place had good feng shui and was near the mountain and river.
Qiao Mei thought about buying this piece of land after she was done with the project. She could build a small house here with a cozy little courtyard. Qiao Qiang could come here from time to time to relax.
Perhaps when Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe were older, they could stay here after they retire. Every day, they could just do some farming, hunt for fun, chop firewood and go fishing. Such a life was really something to look forward to!
"This place is really quite nice. It must have been difficult to find?" Qiao Qiang said.
"It's not too difficult! This is all thanks to Mao Hang. Mao Hang is very familiar with the locations of warehouses in the capital. The owner and Mao Hang are from the same hometown, so he's charging us a lower rent for it!" Chi Ze said happily as he put his arm around Mao Hang.
Mao Hang said shyly, "I only went to ask around. The owner of this warehouse is a nice person. I'm not the only one who contributed. Everyone has put in their share of work!"
Qiao Mei watched quietly from the side. She secretly tugged Qiao Qiang's arm and he immediately understood what she wanted. There were too many people around and it was not convenient for her to do her stuff. He had to think of a way to make them go somewhere else.
