On the way out, Ding Xiang kept hitting and cursing Zhao Fei. He just endured everything silently and did not retaliate. Qiao Mei t s heart ached when she saw this. She had wanted to use the popcorn business to thank Zhao Fei for saving Li Guis life, but now it seemed that the decision she made back then might be a wrong one.
Youre really something. You actually gave them a red packet with 3,000 dollars inside! Dont you know the maximum amount of money a red packet can hold? Its almost bursting! Qiane said as she counted the money in the red packet.
How do you know that theres something wrong with the red packets she gave me? Qiao Mei asked.
Qiane sat back down and said smugly, How can someone like her bear to give you such generous red packets! Look at the thickness of those red packets! If its really 100-dollar bills inside, those three red packets would contain more than 10,000 dollars! She cant even bear to spend 100 dollars, so its impossible for her to give you so much.
Qiao Mei was not interested in Ding Xiangs three red packets at all, which was why she did not bother to use her X-ray vision to look at the amounts inside. She was only thinking about Zhao Feis issue.
So Zhao Fei has allowed them to do whatever they want for so many years? Qiao Mei asked.
In my opinion, he just doesnt care about what they do. However, even if he does, theres also nothing he can do about it. During the past two years, Ding Xiang was pregnant, gave birth and then went through confinement. No matter what she did, he didnt dare to stand up to her. Hes afraid that itll affect her health. In addition, her brothers are all big and burly. He wont be able to fight back if all of them beat him up together, Qiane said.
With Zhao Feis intelligence, its very easy for him to give them the runaround. Theres probably something else that we dont know about. Lets ignore them. When you return to the factory, remember to print out all the invoices and receipts for that period of time and tabulate the total, Qiao Mei said.
Perhaps it was because Ding Xiangs father had taken Zhao Fei in despite all the hardships back then and Zhao Fei wanted to repay Ding Xiangs father for his kindness. However, Qiao Mei was indebted to Zhao Fei, not the Ding family. The Ding familys behavior was really too atrocious. Qiao Mei would definitely make them spit out whatever they had taken from her and she would not let them keep anything!
Our popcorn business is gradually getting on track again, but how are we going to deal with those imitation popcorn from the Ding family? If they sell it again to take revenge on us, our factorys reputation will be completely ruined, Qiane said.
We can apply for a patent and register our brand, Qiao Mei said.
What is that? Qiane asked curiously.
In the past, private businesses were not allowed. Now that the economy had already opened up, anyone could run a small business or workshop. In modern times, when such small-time merchants came up with brand names for their products, they would go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to register their brand. After that, the brand would belong to them exclusively. If someone copied their product, then that copycat would have to pay a huge amount of compensation.
l still have to discuss this with Eldest Brother. Im not sure if my plan will work, Qiao Mei said.
It will be great if it works! Then we dont have to worry about any more despicable people setting us up! Qiane said.
Alright, dont be angry anymore. I feel that you look more haggard nowadays. Dont you drink my medicinal wine regularly? Qiao Mei asked.
My respected elder, you dont know how busy we are at the factory during this period of time. Ever since Elder Brother Xia set up the collaboration between the factory and the government, we cant cope with the orders anymore. The order list is already filled up for the next three years! Qiane said agitatedly.
Qiao Mei was a little shocked. She did not expect Xia Wen to have done so many things quietly. The factory was now at its peak and even the famous He family would have to give up their position in the business world soon. At the thought of He Ning, Qiao Mei remembered the issue of Auntie Cui in Country M. She must find some time to settle this matter with He Ning!
It was soon mealtime and everyone sat together happily. They were all filled with anticipation for the future and were very grateful to Qiao Mei for helping them earn money and making their lives so much better.
A few of the men could even go home to get married after they saved enough money! Otherwise, based on their previous situations, those men would have to stay single for the rest of their lives!
Qiao Mei! Next time you go to that Country M, can you bring me along too! I also want to go out and see the world! Chi Ze said..
