1480 A Favor Done at Little Cost
“I think Big Brother Deng is worth this price! That’s the maximum I will pay him. Don’t worry,” Qiao Mei said seriously.

Xia He still felt that Qiao Mei was paying too much. However, no matter how much she tried to persuade Qiao Mei, it would not change the outcome. Instead, it might even agitate Qiao Mei and make her rebellious. She might even give Deng Fan 20,000 dollars later!

Qiao Mei just did not want the Deng family to “go bankrupt” in order to marry Xia He. She also did not want Xia He to live a tough life. She was willing to give all this money to Xia He for free. Ever since she married into the Xia family, Xia He had spent a lot of money and put in a lot of effort on her and her children. Even if she had to give one-third of her family’s money to Xia He, she would have no regrets.

Since she could see how sincere the Deng family was, it was good enough for her. She decided to be the one to fork out the money. She had originally already wanted to give Xia He a house. If she did it this way, it would look good for everyone.

The two of them chatted noisily for a long time. Suddenly, Xia He requested to go to Qiao Mei’s factory to take a look. She still did not know the location of the factory! She also wanted to see with her own eyes what Deng Fan had achieved after working so hard for so long.

Qiao Mei asked the chauffeur to drive the two of them to the factory and also brought along some bedding and account books. Deng Fan’s work had already completely ended. Qiao Mei had requested for a separate lounge to be built in her office. She thought that she could go there to clean up and deck out the lounge today.

Recently, she had also been thinking about something else. Not only did Deng Fan know how to design buildings, but he also knew how to repair machinery and also manage the factory. Why not hire Deng Fan to work in her factory?

Deng Fan was only working freelance for now. He could take on a big project today, which would make enough money for him to pay for three months’ worth of expenses. The next time, he might only take on a small project, only enough to cover a few days’ expenses. If he did not have any projects, he would have to sit around and dig into his savings. There was no job security at all, so how could he provide Xia He with a comfortable life?

She could not possibly let Deng Fan return to work in the art troupe. He did not have much talent in the arts, but he worked especially hard when it came to designing buildings and repairing machinery. She could not let such a “genius” waste away.

After more than half an hour, they finally arrived at the main entrance of the factory. Qiao Mei asked the chauffeur to send the things to her office while the two of them got out of the car to take a walk around. Even Qiao Mei herself had never properly admired the factory!

“Wow! The main entrance is so grand!” Xia He lamented.

“You should praise your husband. Everything was designed by him. I didn’t even look at the design and just asked him to build it,” Qiao Mei said as she looked at the main door.

Qiao Mei was actually too lazy to look at it. A factory was just a factory, how fancy could it look? However, she did not expect Deng Fan to really be able to do it.

This factory was like a mini city. Not only did it accommodate everyone’s needs, but there were also recreational spots like a small garden and a pond.

Deng Fan did not want to design it like this either. It was just that Qiao Mei had given him too much money. Even if he bought everything using the best specifications, there would still be a lot of money left, so he had no choice but to be bold in his design.

Xia He secretly gave Qiao Mei a thumbs up. Qiao Mei was probably the only person who would spend more than 100,000 dollars to build a factory without even checking the drawings.

The two of them walked around the factory in a blur. Qiao Mei still did not know what each workshop was for. It took her a long time to find out the use of each workshop.

“Qiao Mei, is this your factory or not? Why do I feel that the workers here are more familiar with it than you?” Xia He said with a smile.

“It’s my mother and Qian’e who are in charge of the factory. I only front it. I’ll become familiar with it after some time. There’s no rush,” Qiao Mei said with a grin.

After searching for a long time, they finally saw the busy Deng Fan. This was the first time Xia He had seen Deng Fan covered in machine oil. Usually, Deng Fan would only dare to come and look for Xia He after dressing up nicely. He felt a little embarrassed to look so disheveled in front of them.

“Why are you here? Quick, get out. It’s very dangerous. Wait for me outside,” Deng Fan said very sternly.

Qiao Mei and Xia He obediently stood outside the workshop and waited for Deng Fan to finish his work.
