Country Love: Xie Dajiao, 37, is pregnant!

So that's what I'm saying.

Li Qiuge threw all the melon seeds into the fruit plate and said seriously:

"After you cooperate with Qingmei, we will have a brand new line of soy products with upgraded taste and packaging, and the target customer group will be different."

"You have to expand your sales channels, otherwise, if the products end up sitting in inventory and you can't sell them, that will be a huge problem, especially in the market..."

Wang Xiaomeng looked at her and asked in confusion:

"Qiuge, what can't we say to each other? Just say what you want to say."

Li Qiuge has a particularly beautiful smile. She leans back on the sofa.

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point. You know Bai Qingming, right? He's a marketing expert with tons of channel resources. If he could come and help you, it would be a huge asset. But I know you don't want to use him, so I didn't mention it to you at first."

After listening, Wang Xiaomeng hesitated as expected, remaining silent for a long time before finally whispering:

"I... I'll think about it. If it doesn't work out, I'll hire two more people for the market and expand gradually. It's not urgent."

Looking at her, Li Qiuge couldn't help but smile and tease her:

"Xiao Meng, are you afraid someone will be jealous?"

"No...no!"

Wang Xiaomeng quickly waved her hand and explained:

"I just feel... it's not very convenient. You see, our factory is full of female workers. If a man suddenly comes, wouldn't it be weird?"

"Okay, okay, it's inconvenient."

Li Qiuge smiled and waved her hand, not exposing her lie:

Anyway, I've conveyed the message to you. Think about it yourself. If you really don't think it will work, we'll think of another way.

The two talked about the factory's recruitment and the arrival of new equipment. Around nine o'clock, Wang Xiaomeng yawned, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Alright, Qiuge, I'm going upstairs to wash up now. You should get some rest too."

"Okay, sure."

Wang Xiaomeng had only been upstairs for less than ten minutes when the door lock clicked and then the door opened.

Lin Chen walked in, his body radiating a cool aura and carrying a hint of alcohol. He immediately noticed that Li Qiuge was alone on the sofa and casually asked:

"Qiuge, why are you alone? Where is everyone else?"

"Ah, Brother Chen, you're back."

Li Qiuge stood up and casually turned the TV volume down a bit:

"Aunt Big Foot took the kids to the supermarket tonight. She said that Wang Yun was bored at home by herself and asked Aunt Big Foot to sleep with her. Xiao Mei and Yan Nan are still at the supermarket and haven't come back yet. Xiao Meng just went upstairs."

"Okay, sure."

Lin Chen nodded and turned to walk towards the stairs:

"Then you can watch TV. I'm going upstairs to take a shower; I'm all sweaty."

Lin Chen thought she was going to bring up the incident of mistaking someone for someone else yesterday, so he waved his hand without stopping:

"I'm all sweaty and sticky right now, I'm going to take a shower first. We can talk about it tomorrow!"

When Li Qiuge saw his expression, she knew he had misunderstood and couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"It's about Xiaomeng!"

"About Xiao Meng?"

Lin Chen immediately stopped, turned around, walked back, sat on the sofa, picked up the bottled water on the table, unscrewed it, and took a sip:

"What's wrong? What's the matter?"

Li Qiuge glanced awkwardly at the water bottle:

"Brother Chen, this water is mine..."

Lin Chen looked at the mineral water bottle:

"What, is your saliva poisonous? Go get a new bottle later and tell me what's wrong with Xiao Meng."

Li Qiuge then recounted to Lin Chen their conversation about the factory's transformation and Bai Qingming's situation, adding with a smile at the end:

"I think Sister Xiaomeng is afraid that you'll be jealous. She cares about you a lot, so even though she knows you're a talented person, she doesn't want to use you."

Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and he almost spat out his mineral water:

"I don't think it's a big deal. Okay, I got it. I'll go up and tell her in a bit, do you think I'm such a petty person? She doesn't even have this much self-confidence. I'll pay her back."

"Okay, then I'm relieved."

Li Qiuge stood up with a smile:

"Then I'll go back to my room too. You two chat."

Lin Chen nodded, turned around and went upstairs, first going back to the master bedroom to take a shower.

Pushing open Wang Xiaomeng's bedroom door, I found her sitting on the edge of the bed applying skincare products, slapping her face vigorously like a little seal. Ever since returning from Shanghai, she had been paying special attention to skincare.

Lin Chen walked over and gently hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder and inhaling the fragrance of her hair.

"Honey, Qiu Ge said the factory is going to transform, and they need someone to manage the market?"

Wang Xiaomeng couldn't resist Lin Chen whispering in her ear, her body went weak, and she murmured a soft "hmm":

"She told you everything?"

"Ah, I said it."

Lin Chen nuzzled her hair, the smell of alcohol mingling with the scent of her skincare products:

"What's there to hesitate about? If Bai Qingming is really capable, then use him when necessary. Why would I be jealous over this? You underestimate me."

"no……"

Wang Xiaomeng turned around, looked at him and said:

"Brother Chen, I just feel... we're doing so well, and then suddenly he comes along, it's kind of weird. Besides, the market doesn't necessarily need him, I can hire someone else."

"What a fool you are."

Lin Chen gently scratched her nose:

"You can't be picky about people when you're doing business. As long as they can make money and get things done, that's fine. Feel free to use them. I really don't have any other ideas. Getting the factory up and running is the real priority."

Wang Xiaomeng looked at him and bit her lip:

"Well... I'll think about it some more."

"Okay, I'll take my time to think about it."

Lin Chen laughed, and his hands began to wander, sliding up his waist.

Wang Xiaomeng quickly pressed his hand down, her voice very low:

"What are you doing... Stop fooling around, Qiu Ge is still downstairs!"

"What are you afraid of? Just keep your voice down."

Wang Xiaomeng gave him a push, but couldn't budge him. In the end, she gave in, muttering under her breath:

"Keep your voice down... whatever you do, don't... don't let her hear..."

Lin Chen nodded in agreement, but inwardly he felt helpless; he couldn't hide it any longer...

……

Two days after the lecture, Xie Guangkun called Liu Neng, Zhao Si, Wang Laoqi, and Accountant Xu to his courtyard right after the morning gathering ended.

There was a table in the yard, and the air smelled strongly of donkey dung. On the table was a half-sack of sunflower seeds, with a small pile of shells left on it.

A few people sat or squatted in a circle, chatting about black ant farming.

Xie Guangkun spat on the ground and spoke first:

"How's it going? I've been asking around these past few days, and people in the surrounding Sanjiazi and Taipingtun areas have already invested, pocketing their first quarter's interest! Let's not worry about what Wang Dana says; maybe he's secretly bought a lot himself. We don't need to turn down money. If he won't let us do it at the resort, we'll go to the city company to sign the agreement ourselves. The policies are the same, and we'll save ourselves the trouble of going through a middleman!"

Liu Neng sat on the bench and nodded in agreement:

"I also inquired about it. Someone in the previous village invested in February and actually received 750 last month! They get quarterly interest payments, four times a year, and the principal is returned at maturity. The contract clearly states this."

"Ah, that's exactly right! Liu Neng, you've lived to such an old age, and this is the sentence you understand best."

Xie Guangkun smiled and looked at the people around him, then continued:

"Their company is properly registered, with a business license and everything, and even a leading enterprise plaque issued by the superior. If it weren't for Liu Da Nao's incompetence, we would have already paid the money. This has wasted a few more days. This time, we'll go ourselves and sign directly with the company. It has nothing to do with the resort."

After stammering for a while, Zhao Si finally managed to utter a sentence:

"Well... Guangkun, and our in-laws, I just feel... there's no such thing as a free lunch. What if it's a trap and we end up losing everything?"

"What kind of condom is it?!"

Xie Guangkun was displeased upon hearing this, pouting and looking somewhat speechless.

"Fourth brother, you're just destined to be poor! That company is so big, with hundreds of branches all over the country, how could it run away? They'd even bring their ant colonies to your house, what do they want from you? I think you're just a coward, you don't even dare to make money!"

Liu Neng also joined in with disdain:

"That's right, Lao... Lao Si, if you're scared, then don't invest. A few of us will go, and we'll pocket the money. Just don't be envious."

Zhao Si opened his mouth, wanting to persuade them, but seeing how greedy the two of them were, he swallowed his words and sat there puffing on his pipe, remaining silent.
