Chapter 2283: Marriage Agency
Editor: Atlas Studios
Xia Wen could already foresee that the trend in the future would definitely veer towards real estate. After all, there were dangerous buildings everywhere and the current city planning was definitely not up to mark. The government had already begun to pay attention to this aspect, but it was still a loss-making business for the time being. Not only was the payback very slow, but it also took up a lot of time and energy.
At this moment, it was difficult for any family to even have 1,000 dollars in their savings. How many families would be willing to buy a property? Renting a house every month was only about 10 dollars. No one would be willing to take the risk. Everyone still wanted to hold on to their money.
“Have you really thought it through? This is a bottomless pit,” Xia Wen said.
“Yes, I have. Xia Zhe has also made a lot of money. He has more than enough money for me to go into real estate development. Don’t worry, Eldest Brother,” Qiao Mei said.
That was true. He had also heard Xia He and Xia Wan talk about Xia Zhe’s latest updates. Xia Zhe was doing very well overseas now and had even become a prominent wealthy businessman in Country M.
Xia Zhe’s mission was almost over and the businesses in Country M would probably be handed over to someone else after that. If he did not keep a single cent of his earnings, his money-minded wife would explode from anger and he might not even be able to enter his own house.
After confirming the locations of the land plots, the most important thing now was to start building the greenhouses. The crops she planted were all very delicate. With the greenhouses, she could ensure harvests all year round and maximize the profits.
Qiao Mei asked Sun Tian to come to her house. She tapped on three spots on the map and said, “Leave the land in the suburbs to settle down for a while. I’m going to let you take charge of these places.”
“No problem. How many mu is that?” Sun Tian asked confidently.
“It’s about 500 mu in total, and there’s also some more land I bought. So, it’s a total of 800 mu,” Qiao Mei said calmly.
Sun Tian was so shocked that he took a step back. What did Qiao Mei say just now? Did she say 800 mu? That was 800 mu of land! The three small circles on the map were actually 800 mu of land!
“And these few places…” Qiao Mei then marked out a few private fields in the northern suburbs. She had bought them when she first came to the capital and was feeling bored. The total area was not big, only about 300 mu. She pointed at the map and said, “I noticed that your son also has a talent for this. We can let him take charge of these places.”
“My son… I’m worried that he won’t be able to do it well…” Sun Tian said.
“It’s fine. Everyone has to gain experience at some point. He can’t always work for you. You’ll retire sooner or later. After you retire, then who will manage these places of mine?” Qiao Mei asked with a smile.
“But what if he makes a loss…” Sun Tian said hesitantly.
“It’s fine, just let him try,” Qiao Mei said nonchalantly. After all, her seeds grew easily after being scattered. Even a wasteland could become an oasis with her seeds, so it was impossible for him to fail.
However, Sun Tian did not know any of this. He only saw that Qiao Mei valued their family very much and did not hesitate to give his son 300 mu of land from which to gain experience. What a great opportunity this was! In the future, his family would only take orders from Qiao Mei! They would always be loyal to her!
“I swear I’ll do a good job this time!” Sun Tian said agitatedly.
“Don’t feel too pressured. What happened previously was not your fault. People who want to harm others will use all kinds of methods. We just need to solve the problems as they come. The way you handled it back then was very good,” Qiao Mei said.
“Alright! I promise to complete the mission!” Sun Tian said.
“By the way, if your staff are of marriageable age, they can come and put down their names. I can arrange for them to go on blind dates,” Qiao Mei said.
Sun Tian had never seen such a good boss. Not only did she treat her employees well and give them high salaries, but she was also concerned about her employees’ marriage plans! She was like an immortal who had descended to the mortal world!
“Sure, sure, sure! I’ll definitely tell them!” Sun Tian left excitedly after saying that.
Business was constantly expanding and there were many young men and women working in the company. If she could arrange for them to go on blind dates and get married, that would also strengthen their commitment to the company and they would continue to work here.
“Sigh… Looks like I have to find someone to set up a marriage agency,” Qiao Mei lamented.
Before Qiao Mei could think of a plan, Xia He ran in noisily with many bags and said, “Qiao Mei!!! Guess what I saw! Big news!”
Qiao Mei smiled happily. She had the perfect candidate. Xia He was a perfect match to be in charge of the marriage agency.
“What did you buy?” Qiao Mei asked.
“Don’t worry about these things for now! Let me tell you! I saw Auntie Li! I thought I was seeing things. After I confirmed that it was her, I rushed here to look for you!” Xia He said excitedly.
“Huh? Didn’t my mother say that she was going to the restaurant? Where did you see her?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.
