In this era, reputation was the most important thing to a person. If people knew that Xia You was bringing up a child outside, only those in the know would say that she was a very kind person. Those who did not know better would spread rumors that Xia You had an illegitimate child outside! It would cause chaos in her life.

“Sigh ?I have wronged you. I thought ?Fortunately, I didn’t act rashly. Xia You, Mom is in the wrong. I shouldn’t have distrusted you.” Liu Fen looked at Xia You apologetically.

Xia You said with tears in her eyes, “Mom, what are you talking about! I’m your daughter. It’s alright even if you hit me and scold me!”

Liu Fen and Xia You went home after dinner. Qiao Mei had been busy with family matters recently and had not been able to deal with work matters. She returned to the study and read all the letters she received as well as the contracts submitted by the subsidiary companies.

Qiao Mei had just acquired the Han Corporation. Han Chen had managed the company very well and she did not need to expend much effort for it to continue operating as normal. She had promised Han Chen that she would retain all the employees and that she would not fire anyone.

Qiao Mei went ahead to choose an auspicious date and changed the signboard of the Han Corporation to “Qiao Corporation”. She stared at the plaque above the door for a long time and was so engrossed that she did not notice Qian’e was standing behind her.

“Isn’t it just a plaque? What’s so special about it that our Chairman Qiao has to stand here and stare at it for so long?” Qian’e teased.

“When did you get here?” Qiao Mei said in surprise.

“I’ve already been here for a while! When I saw you standing here in a daze, I even stood beside you for a long time! I don’t want the employees to see you standing alone here and think that you’re a fool,” Qian’e said.

“I just feel a little emotional. Things have changed so much. I thought that we would be very good partners with the Han Corporation for a long time, but I didn’t expect it to become my company now. I’ve actually been involved in so many business ventures and even own so many companies now,” Qiao Mei said.

“Hey, hey, hey! Don’t go around making people angry! If anyone hears this, they’ll definitely say that you’re too smug! Let’s lament about the past later. Come and settle my issue first. I’m here today to get your approval on some business matters,” Qian’e said.

Qiao Mei brought Qian’e to her office in the building. The office that Qiao Mei was using now was Han Chen’s previous office. The whole process had been too rushed, so Qiao Mei did not have time to renovate it.

“Should we ?Why don’t we go out and talk?” Qiao Mei asked cautiously.

“It’s not a big deal! Han Chen and I ?that’s all in the past! Let’s not talk about these things anymore. I’ve taken a fancy to a piece of land recently! Help me take a look! If you find it suitable, I want to build a branch factory there!” Qian’e said as she held up the documents in her hands.

“You don’t have to come and look for me for such a small matter. Just buy whatever piece of land you like,” Qiao Mei said nonchalantly.

It was not that Qiao Mei was arrogant, but she had too many assets now. She had so much money that she could not even spend it all in her lifetime. All her companies were making profits and she had not been unsuccessful in any ventures yet.

“You’re the boss of the factory! I won’t dare to make any decision,” Qian’e said.

“I’m just the legal representative of the factory. You’ve always been the one running it. You might as well use this amount of money to buy the factory from me. I can sell it to you at a low price,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

“Don’t joke around! Even if you say that the factory doesn’t belong to you, Godmother has a share in it. If I want to do my own business, I’ll consider it later,” Qian’e said.

“I’m serious. We have too many companies and factories now. I also have to manage the experimental fields. My mother is busy with that small restaurant now and her mind is not on the food factory at all,” Qiao Mei said.

Qian’e waved her hand and said, “I’m not buying it! If we keep to the status quo, I can always just take my money and leave if I mismanage the factory! There’s no pressure on me!”

After they joked around for a while, Qiao Mei took the documents from Qian’e and read through them seriously for a long time. This piece of land was not big, but it was within the four inner ring roads of the capital. There used to be a factory there but it closed down due to mismanagement. As the selling price of the land was higher than market, no one wanted to buy it. Recently, the owner was a little tight on money and he was in a hurry to sell it, so the price was 20% cheaper than before.

The owner only had one request. The transaction must be settled in full cash and the price was 500,000 dollars! Other than Qiao Mei, there was no one else in the entire capital who could fork out so much money in one go.

“Buy it.” Qiao Mei took out a check from her bag and wrote it out for 600,000 dollars. She handed it to Qian’e and said, “You can spend the remaining 100,000 dollars however you want.”

“Chairman Qiao is so generous ?I suddenly feel like I’m your kept woman ” Qian’e said.
