1487 Cannot Provide Any Help
“It’s fine. It’s just low blood sugar caused by not eating. It’s not a serious problem. Sister-in-law was being too anxious when she called you. Don’t get so worked up,” Qiao Mei said weakly.
“Why can’t you just listen? Don’t tell me you don’t even want to listen to me now?” Li Gui said sternly.
This was the first time Li Gui had lost her temper with Qiao Mei and spoke to her so sternly. However, Qiao Mei was a very stubborn person. The more she did this, the more Qiao Mei did not want to go home.
In Qiao Mei’s other life, she had no problem working overtime every day. She had only worked overtime for a week so far and it was not a big deal. Moreover, she could take ginseng to boost her energy. If she did not sort out the problems in the factory now, she would definitely face an even bigger crisis in the future.
“I hear you. I’ll consider it,” Qiao Mei said tiredly.
Li Gui did not dare to force Qiao Mei to do anything. At the moment, no one in the family could control Qiao Mei. Other than Qiao Qiang, Qiao Mei would not listen to anyone else.
Li Gui immediately ran home to look for Qiao Qiang and told him about what happened. She did not expect Qiao Qiang not to be concerned about Qiao Mei’s health at all and did not even show any reaction. He only nodded and told Li Gui to leave without any intention of visiting Qiao Mei.
“Father! Don’t you feel sorry for Qiao Mei?” Li Gui questioned.
It was not that Qiao Qiang did not care about Qiao Mei anymore. Even if he went, what could he do? Firstly, he could not help Qiao Mei solve the current problem, and secondly, he could not provide any support to Qiao Mei. He could only force Qiao Mei to go home and sleep. It was better to let Qiao Mei finish her work in one go and then reason with her later.
“What can I do if I go? Can you help her finish her work? Or can an old man like me help her with the business? If it’s any other issue, I can still put aside my pride and ask others for help, but who else can solve the problem that Qiao Mei is facing now other than herself?” Qiao Qiang asked.
Li Gui was speechless. After a long silence, she turned around and left. When she returned to the factory, she tried to buck up and learn more. She just wanted to help Qiao Mei share more of the workload so that Qiao Mei could do less.
As the days passed, the factory started doing well. Many companies wanted to work with Qiao Mei, including the famous manufacturer in the capital, the Han Corporation.
“Qiao Mei, there’s a man surnamed Han waiting for you in the meeting room on the first floor. He says that he wants to talk to you about a collaboration,” Qian’e said as she came to Qiao Mei’s office.
“Alright, I understand.” Qiao Mei nodded.
Why would the people from the Han Corporation come looking for her? They were in completely unrelated businesses, so there was no way they could work together.
The Han Corporation mainly made vehicles and some electronic products. The company was considered a rising star in the capital and they were almost as rich as the He family. They were not locals and only moved to the capital much later, so many established companies in the capital ostracized them and were unwilling to work with them.
No one knew what this eldest young master of the Han Corporation did to make a name for himself in the capital within such a short period of time and even managed to force those established companies to give in to him.
“Hello, I’m the director of the Osmanthus Food Factory. My name is Qiao Mei. It’s a pleasure to meet you,” Qiao Mei said confidently as she pushed open the door to the meeting room with a smile.
That man sat right opposite the main door. He was very handsome and could even be described as being “vampy”. This was the first time Qiao Mei had seen such a beautiful man.
Xia Zhe was handsome and suave, completely different from this man. This man was more… exquisite? For a moment, Qiao Mei did not know how to describe this man’s good looks.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Han Chen, and I’m the… chairman of the Han Corporation.” Han Chen looked a little shy after saying that. This was the first time he had introduced himself so formally.
“I wonder what kind of collaboration Mr. Han is here to discuss with me. Based on what I know, there’s nothing in Mr. Han’s business that I can help with,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
“Mr. Han?” Qiao Mei whispered when she saw Han Chen standing rooted to the spot without saying anything.
