Liu Nao looked down at himself in the mirror, combing his hair as he said:

"Absolutely! This is a major project for our resort, so it has to be done spectacularly. You need to make sure to talk to their company that the commission is top-notch. Our resort is providing the venue and connections, so we have to get what we're owed!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, I've got everything sorted out."

Secretary Li opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, thinking that she should find an opportunity to tell Lin Chen.

As the sun set, more and more people gathered in front of Big Foot Supermarket, each holding a flyer and chattering about "raising ants and making big money."

Some people asked if they could submit more shares, some asked if ants were easy to raise, and some had already started planning what to buy with the money they made.

Xie Dajiao leaned on the counter, cracking sunflower seeds, her eyes filled with doubt, but she didn't stop anyone. After all, even the mountain villa was involved, so it couldn't be too bad.

……

When the plane landed at Hongqiao Airport, Bai Qingming arrived early in the morning in the company's business vehicle to pick him up.

Upon seeing Wang Xiaomeng and her father come out, they warmly greeted them:

"Xiao Meng, Seventh Uncle!"

"Hello, Mr. Bai!"

Bai Qingming said with a smile:

"How are you? You must be exhausted. Do you want to rest for a while before going to the office?"

"I'm not tired, it's only been a little over two hours. Let's go take a look now."

"Alright, the car's over here, let's go."

After picking up Wang Xiaomeng and her father, the car drove all the way to the company headquarters. Wang Laoqi looked at the scene outside the car window, his mouth agape in surprise. He had only seen it on TV before, but now that he was there in person, he couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.

Finally, the van turned into a neat and orderly industrial park.

The car stopped in front of the Tsinghua University headquarters building. Wang Xiaomeng opened the car door and stepped out. Looking up at the rows of white factory buildings, the neat green belts, and the freight trucks coming and going, she was immediately stunned.

Is this really a soy product company?

Her bean product factory was one of the top in town, but compared to this place, it was just a small family workshop.

The wind blew through the factory area, and it seemed that even the air was filled with a faint aroma of soybeans. Wang Xiaomeng clutched her clothes tightly, the idea of ​​expanding her family's factory firmly planted in her heart, something she had never felt so urgent about before.

"Xiao Meng, Uncle Qi, we've arrived."

Bai Qingming parked his car and walked over, smiling as he asked:

"Should we meet with the chairman first, or visit the workshop first?"

"I'm fine with anything, I'll leave it to you."

Wang Xiaomeng quickly looked away, composed herself, and tried to keep her tone steady, not wanting to appear too naive.

Bai Qingming took out his phone, made a call, and after hanging up, said:

"The chairman happens to be in his office. Let's go up and say hello first, then we'll go down to the workshop."

"OK."

The three people took the elevator to the top floor.

The chairman's office is very bright and spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a view of the entire factory area.

Inside, two women were standing at a desk reporting on their work. Hearing the noise at the door, they both turned around to look.

The chairman stood up and walked over. Wang Xiaomeng stepped forward, shook hands with the chairman, and said politely:

"Hello Chairman, I am Wang Xiaomeng from Xiangyashan Bean Products Factory."

"Hello, hello, Mr. Wang is young and promising."

The chairman spoke in a soft, gentle Shanghainese accent:

"I've reviewed all the information. Your factory has a very good foundation. The northern market is a key area for our development this year. I hope our cooperation will be successful."

"I am very confident and looking forward to cooperating with such a large company as yours," Wang Xiaomeng replied with a smile.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Bai Qingming introduced her to the two women:

"Xiao Meng, this is Yang Xiaoyan, our company's deputy general manager, and this is Li Qiuge, our quality director. They will be the main coordinators for this collaboration in terms of technology and quality control."

Wang Xiaomeng stepped forward one by one to shake hands and greet them:

"Hello, Mr. Yang and Director Li. I look forward to your guidance in the future."

"You're too kind. Let's learn from each other."

Yang Xiaoyan nodded with a gentle smile.

Wang Laoqi followed behind his daughter, not daring to say much, just smiling obsequiously, unsure where to put his hands. He kept thinking to himself, "People from big companies in the city really do look different."

The chairman flipped through the documents on the table and said to Bai Qingming:

"I have two meetings to attend during the Qingming Festival. You can take General Manager Wang to the workshop for a tour and give him a proper introduction. General Manager Yang, you can come along too and talk more about our production line and quality control standards."

"Yes, Chairman."

"Mr. Wang, this way please."

"Mr. Yang, just call me Xiao Meng, no need to be so polite."

The group headed towards the elevator, and Li Qiuge skipped along behind, laughing as she said:

"My project just finished, so I'll take a look around too, and I can also tell Xiaomeng about it." As he spoke, he hooked his arm around Yang Xiaoyan's.

Wang Xiaomeng said casually with a smile:

"You two seem to have such a good relationship, like sisters."

Li Qiuge chuckled:

"They're not sisters, this is my mom! She just looks young, so people always mistake her for my older sister."

Wang Xiaomeng was taken aback and couldn't help but glance at Yang Xiaoyan a few more times.

She wore a professional suit with a cinched waist that accentuated her upper body curves, and her calves were straight and shapely, paired with low-heeled leather shoes.

Her hair was neatly tied back, without a single stray hair, showing that she was a refined woman.

Her eyes were smiling, and she looked very dignified and elegant. She had a straight nose, light lipstick on her lips, and fair skin.

She looked to be around thirty years old, possessing both the aura of someone in a high position and a mature and gentle charm. Every smile and gesture was graceful and poised, making it impossible to tell that she had such a grown daughter.

Wang Xiaomeng looked down at herself, then at Yang Xiaoyan, and sighed inwardly. Even if Chen Yannan came, it wouldn't make a difference. Chen Yannan was young and beautiful, but compared to Yang Xiaoyan's refined and mature charm, she lacked a certain depth.

Xie Dajiao's peak period right after giving birth might be able to barely compete with her.

Suddenly Wang Xiaomeng smiled, thinking to herself that it was a good thing she didn't bring Xie Xiaomei along, otherwise she would have felt even more inferior.

Wang Laoqi, who was listening nearby, felt it was inappropriate for an old man like himself to stand by while the girl talked about the private affairs of the mother and daughter. Finally, when they reached the bottom of the stairs, he quickly tugged at Bai Qingming's sleeve and pointed to the factory photos on the corridor wall, saying:

"Mr. Bai, can you tell me about this picture? What kind of workshop is this?"

The two of them walked ahead, leaving the three women to walk slowly behind.

Yang Xiaoyan felt a special connection with Wang Xiaomeng's strong Northeastern accent and was willing to chat with her more, saying with a smile:

"I had my baby early. I was naive back then and became a mother without really understanding what was going on. I'm also from the North. Qiu Ge came to Shanghai when she was in high school. I've been busy building my career these past few years. I'm so glad Qiu Ge is so sensible."

"My mom has an amazing figure, so I just inherited a bit of that."

Li Qiuge leaned over and teased Yang Xiaoyan, poking her waist:

"Look at this waist, it's about as thin as mine, but look at this..."

"Don't talk nonsense," Yang Xiaoyan quickly interrupted, patting her on the shoulder.

Wang Xiaomeng really liked Li Qiuge's personality and naturally became much closer to her.

"Qiu Ge, I think you have a very elegant appearance, a different style of beauty from President Yang."

Yang Xiaoyan smiled as she looked at Wang Xiaomeng:

"Xiao Meng, you don't look that old, but you've run your factory very successfully. You're really amazing."

"Hey, don't say that. I live in a small town, and I run a small factory. I only realized what it means to be a frog in a well after coming here today. If you ask me, Mr. Yang, you are the one who is amazing. You were able to become the vice president in such a big company."

Yang Xiaoyan smiled and said:

"Someone helped me out back then, but let's not talk about that."

Li Qiuge said in a low voice:

"I have a crush on someone, but I don't even know who they are..."

Wang Xiaomeng smiled and pulled Li Qiuge's arm. Women's friendships come so quickly; once you're on the same arm, you're my best friend.

Meanwhile, Wang Xiaomeng was also thinking to herself, "We're both women, but this woman lives such a refined life. I can't keep neglecting my health like this. I'm only young now, but what if Brother Chen doesn't like me anymore in a few years?"

After I get back, I'll go to Kaiyuan to get a beauty salon membership card—no, I'll go to Tieling to get one!
