1488 Still a Long Way to Go
Han Chen came back to his senses and said apologetically, “Oh! I’m sorry, I was distracted just now. I have come to talk to you about the popcorn and seeds.”
“What can I do for you?” Qiao Mei asked politely.
Recently, Han Chen had concluded a big business deal that dealt with mainly overseas exports. However, he did not just want to concentrate on overseas business. The domestic market was also important to him. He wanted to send some unique items from the capital together with the goods, but he found other items too ordinary. Coincidentally, at Qiao Mei’s factory, the quality of food was good and the packaging was exquisite, and everything seemed to meet his requirements.
Under normal circumstances, Han Chen’s general manager would be the one to come and discuss these things with Qiao Mei. This time round, he had come personally to see for himself the woman who could run a successful factory in just three months. It was indeed breathtaking to see her in person.
Qiao Mei did not think too much about it and directly briefed Han Chen about the type of products she currently had and the prices. In just half an hour, Han Chen already knew all the products available and even knew the type and style. Qiao Mei did not intend to change the price as everyone was treated equally. She decisively told Han Chen about the low price.
Han Chen was a little surprised, but he liked such efficiency very much.
“Miss Qiao is really… amazing…” Han Chen clapped his hands and praised her.
“Mr. Han, you flatter me. If you’re interested, I can bring you around our workshop or show you the samples. If there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, we can make adjustments,” Qiao Mei said.
“There’s nothing that I’m dissatisfied with, but I want to ask… Miss Qiao, are you seeing anyone?” Han Chen said.
Qiao Mei was stunned for a moment before saying, “Mr. Han, I’m already married with two children.”
Han Chen was a little shocked. Qiao Mei looked very young, so he did not expect her to be married with children. He wondered which man was so lucky to have married a woman like Qiao Mei.
If he had known Qiao Mei earlier and been the one to marry her, then the Han Corporation’s business would definitely be an unparalleled existence in the entire capital.
Anyway… it was still not too late now. Even if she was married, she could get a divorce. As for the children, it was fine. It would even save him the time to have children. If these two children were smart, he could let them inherit the Han Corporation’s business. Han Chen did not care about bloodlines at all.
“What a pity, but it doesn’t matter. We still have a long way to go. It’s getting late. Let’s talk about the contract another day,” Han Chen said.
Qiao Mei did not quite understand what Han Chen was saying. When he said there was a long way to go, was he referring to their future collaboration or was he referring to the two of them? After sending Han Chen off, the more Qiao Mei thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. However, she had a lot of work to do, so she did not want to dwell on the small business from Han Chen. She had to continue to earn more money!
From that day, there would be a bouquet of flowers sent to Qiao Mei’s office every day. The flowers were different every day and Qiao Mei’s office soon ran out of space.
Xia He had been in a good mood recently. She had finally gotten married to Deng Fan and the renovation of the new house was coming to an end. She was even the one who personally chose all the furniture. After the musical ended, the art troupe had given her a week’s leave so that she could have a good rest.
As the weather was good, Xia He and Deng Fan drove to Qiao Mei’s factory to take a look. The moment they entered Qiao Mei’s office, Xia He was dumbfounded. Was this place some kind of garden?
“Oh my goodness! Why are there so many flowers! Aren’t you sick of the smell!” Xia He said as she looked at all the flowers in disdain. Some of the flowers had already started to wither and rot.
Qiao Mei looked up tiredly from her desk and said, “I don’t want them either… Who would have thought that I would encounter such a thing? I’m just running a business.”
After Han Chen left, he sent her all kinds of flowers every day. In the beginning, Qiao Mei asked her staff to throw them away, but for some reason, Han Chen found out about it. Han Chen even specially made a phone call to Qiao Mei to ask her not to throw the flowers away. He said that if she kept them in the office and looked at them every day, she would feel much better at work.
“Does this man want something from you?” Xia He asked.
Qiao Mei felt the same way, but what was he after? She was already married and even the mother of two children.
