Qiao Mei did not hide anything from Xiang Chen and said frankly, “Yes, 1 do have the intention to give Wu Duo a share of the food factory here.”

“Then what about me? I’m the one who has worked hard to build up the business in Shen City! He’s only been here for a few months and he’s already going to replace me! Cousin-in-law, you can’t do this to me! Didn’t we agree back then that we will make money together? I’m your relative and Wu Duo is just an unrelated party! How can you trust him!” Xiang Chen said agitatedly.

Qiao Mei just looked at Xiang Chen quietly and then poured him a cup of hot tea. Xiang Chen gradually calmed down and lowered his head before he whispered to Qiao Mei, “Cousin-in-law, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that…”

“Xiang Chen, do you still remember what you told me back then?” Qiao Mei asked calmly.

“Yes 1 do. I told you that I want to go into business, but my family does not allow me to do it. You’re the only person who agrees with my idea and supports every decision I make,” Xiang Chen said.

“The food factory here is only a subsidiary of the Osmanthus Food Factory in the capital. I’m still the chairman. If you work in the food factory in Shen City, you’ll just be my employee. At most, people will address you as General Manager Xiang. Don’t tell me you just want to be just a management staff working under me and don’t want to become Boss Xiang?” Qiao Mei asked.

“l want to! Of course I want to!” Xiang Chen said.

“Management staff can be easily replaced. For me, capable people always get priority. In my company, only people who have proven capability get the right to speak. Their resume is not important. I have had a look at the properties and land you bought and I think they’re all not bad.”

“It’s not just the assets in Shen City. The assets you bought in the other places are also not bad. I’m here not just for the food factory. 1 also want to set up a real estate company. What I want to do is for you to be in charge of this company,” Qiao Mei said.

“Really? For me to be in charge of this company!” Xiang Chen said in shock.

“You have to experience certain things on your own. You’ll be more successful if you go through adversity on your own, rather than follow my instructions all the time. I’ll give you two years to put the real estate company into the top 20 list in the country. Once you’re done with the matters related to the food factory, go and write me a proposal,” Qiao Mei said.

“But what if I screw up?” Xiang Chen did not have much confidence. For the past two years, he had progressed slowly based on the instructions in Qiao Mei’s letters to him. He had almost forgotten about his ambitious zest from back then.

Now that Qiao Mei had given him a wake-up call, he recalled how he used to persist in chasing his dreams and ambitions. However, he was still afraid. What if such a big business failed in his hands?

“Don’t worry, if you really don’t know what to do, I won’t stand by and do nothing,” Qiao Mei said.

This seemed to give Xiang Chen the reassurance he needed. He immediately bade farewell to Qiao Mei and went to follow up on the matter of the plot of land. He wanted to resolve the outstanding matters as soon as possible and wished that he could get started on the real estate company immediately.

At noon the next day, Xiang Chen returned dejectedly. He held onto the thick stack of submission forms and could not figure out why the higher-ups had stopped him from making the payment at the final stage of the process?

This plot of land was huge and expensive and most people dared not bid for it. The government had been in a hurry to sell the land and Xiang Chen’s appearance had actually solved this problem for them. Moreover, he was able to pay up in full and did not need to take a loan from the bank. Everything had been going smoothly. However, the higher-ups suddenly gave him a call today and said that they wanted to do a check on his assets.

“What happened that made you so listless?” Qiao Mei asked.

“The land sale process has been halted,” Xiang Chen said.

“Are there any competitors or policies that we’ve overlooked?” Qiao Mei asked.

“Not at all. I’m also very curious as to why everything has suddenly stopped. In the beginning, I got on very well with Director Zhang, but his attitude suddenly changed,” Xiang Chen said aggrievedly.

“Director Zhang? What’s his full name? I’ll get someone to do a check on him,”

Qiao Mei said.

“Zhang Fu,” Xiang Chen said. f𝗿e𝗲𝘄𝗲bn𝐨𝚟𝚎l.com

Qiao Mei thought for a moment and suddenly realized what was going on. She said helplessly, “There’s no need to check on anything. It’s a personal grudge.”

“Personal grudge? With whom?” Xiang Chen asked as he looked at Qiao Mei confusedly.

Qiao Mei told them about everything that had happened in Hu City recently. This Zhang Fu turned out to be Auntie Sun’s son, the one who was a government official. It was such a small world after all..
