The purchasing agent said that through an introduction, he learned that they were a processing factory for a major brand, so he ordered two thousand pairs of leather shoes to be distributed as employee benefits, but requested that the major brand's label be affixed to them, and that the price be based on the major brand's price.

Xia He's parents understood what this person meant; they just needed to give him a kickback. This kind of thing wasn't uncommon in this industry, and since the other party had already paid a deposit, the deal was considered finalized.

Unexpectedly, the purchasing agent was investigated by the company for embezzlement last week, and the matter was dropped.

However, the two thousand pairs of leather shoes have already been made, and we are just waiting to deliver them before the holiday to make a profit. If we cannot get payment for these shoes, our cash flow may break down.

However, this batch of goods had no brand authorization at all, and the distributors dared not take it. They could only sell it as counterfeit goods through certain channels.

This batch of goods was originally made according to the standards of genuine products, so the cost was not low. Selling it as counterfeit goods would not only result in a loss, but there would definitely not be much profit, and it would definitely not be sold out before the holiday.

The couple were prepared to take out a loan to pay their workers' year-end bonuses.

At this point, a former customer introduced Dou Mei, saying she could help them out of their immediate predicament.

Dou Mei suggested that instead of selling counterfeit goods, they should use the big brand's processing plant as a selling point and sell it under their own brand and trademark.

It just so happens that their own trademarks are high-quality counterfeits, so they can easily modify these goods.

Xia He's parents still had doubts, but Dou Mei had already found them buyers. Several distributors had taken over and were willing to pay in advance.

Dou Mei, on the other hand, charged a hefty agency fee.

The moment Xia He's parents received the payment, they had no further hesitation and immediately instructed the workers to work overtime to ensure the goods were delivered before the New Year.

That's why we invited Dou Mei to our home today.

After listening, Xia He glanced towards the living room.

Dou Mei was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, her demeanor composed and her smile gentle.

But she always felt that something was wrong.

This person's appearance was too coincidental; she came to the door right after the purchasing agent's incident, and coincidentally, she brought a group of distributors with her.

If you have that kind of ability, why bother earning intermediary fees? Why not just create your own brand, grow it into a big and strong company, go public, and become a big boss?

She harbored doubts, but remained outwardly calm.

Back in the living room, Dou Mei was slowly sipping her tea.

Seeing Xia He come out, she smiled and waved: "Where do you work, Miss Xia?"

Xia He smiled and replied casually, "Just messing around, I don't have any proper job."

Dou Mei didn't press the matter. After lunch and a few more casual words, she got up to say goodbye.

Xia He's parents saw her to the door, expressing their deepest gratitude.

Once the door was closed, Xia He immediately pulled her parents back into the living room: "Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence? The purchasing agent just had an accident, and then she showed up, and she happened to be with that group of distributors?"

Xia Weidong waved his hand: "They're in the real estate business, so it's normal for them to have resources."

Xia He retorted, "Normal? What do you mean, normal? If she's so capable, why doesn't she create her own brand?"

Liu Yuping chimed in, "That's not their real interest; they just love playing matchmaker."

Looking at her parents' faces, which were filled with trust, Xia He didn't know what to say for a moment.

She tried to persuade her parents indirectly, by giving examples and reasoning, that Dou Mei had a problem.

They were all met with a rebuttal.

"You're overthinking it."

"They helped us, and you still doubt them?"

"Alright, alright, mind your own business."

Xia He stomped her feet in anger.

……

On the path leading to Liangyi Guanshan.

Cheng Mo carried the computer tower and monitor, walking up step by step.

Duoduo led the way with a digital camera, the little girl with a bright smile, taking pictures of the mountain path, the woods, and her senior brother.

The big yellow dog weaved between the two, sometimes rushing forward to sit and wait for them, and sometimes running back behind Duoduo and pushing her forward with its head, making Duoduo giggle.

Upon arriving at Liangyi Temple, Cheng Mo placed the items on the ground and began unpacking and assembling the machine.

The process of plugging in the cable and connecting it to the interface was somewhat clumsy.

Cheng Shou stood by and watched for a while, then finally couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you can handle this?"

Cheng Mo didn't even look up: "..."

He didn't want to talk to the old man at all.

It's just that I haven't touched this thing in a long time and I'm a bit rusty. In my previous life, I could have done it in no time and broadened this old man's horizons.

Duoduo was quite interested in the pile of wires. She squatted down and looked at it for a while, then took out her phone.

I dialed a number.

beep-

"Sister Xia He!"

Xia He was thinking about Dou Mei when she heard Duo Duo's voice, and her mood improved slightly: "Duo Duo, what's wrong?"

Duoduo started chattering about what happened on her way down the mountain that day: she bought a computer, talked about the camera, and mentioned that her senior brother was setting up the computer.

Although she had something on her mind, she was still very patient with Duoduo and Xiahe, and she was quite happy to listen to Duoduo share her life.

However, when it came to computers, Xia He couldn't help but nag: "Even after you get a computer, Duoduo, don't stare at it for too long. You need to rest your eyes. And... turn on speakerphone, I want to say a few words to your senior brother."

Xia He's voice came through the phone: "Don't install too many games for Duo Duo, and don't make those instructional videos. Just because you have a computer doesn't mean you can rely on it for everything. You still have to teach Duo Duo yourself."

Cheng Mo paused, turning to look at his phone: "Why are you so incompetent and only cause trouble?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

"What did you say, little Taoist priest?" Xia He raised her voice two octaves.

Cheng Mo continued, "I already told Duoduo at the computer mall that we wouldn't install any games. Are you just making things worse by telling me not to install too many?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Cheng Shou leaned close to Duo Duo's ear and whispered, "Does your senior brother usually talk to your sister Xia He like this?"

Duoduo nodded with a smile: "Yes."

Cheng Shou: "..."

He sighed inwardly: "That brat, with his poisoned lips, can still hook up with girls? It's simply outrageous..."

wrong!

It must have been that silly woman who was blinded by the boy's good looks.

On the other end of the phone, Xia He finally spoke again, her voice frighteningly calm: "Duoduo, turn off the speakerphone. I don't want to talk to your senior brother anymore."

Duoduo chuckled and turned off the speakerphone, then took the phone and walked to the side: "Sister Xiahe, don't be angry, that's just how my senior brother talks..."

Cheng Shou patted his apprentice on the shoulder: "You brat, get back to work."

Cheng Mo continued, "I'm working on it right now."

……

Xia He and Duo Duo chatted for a long time.

We talked about the photos we took today, how fun the big yellow dog was, and how adorable our master was.

Xia He sighed as she finally hung up the phone.

Ugh.

Neither side is easy to deal with.

They're not even as good as a child.

She lay down on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

I remembered how my parents had argued with me about Dou Mei not long ago...

The two of them now trust Dou Mei to an absolute degree.
