Chapter 2297: New Business Opportunity

Editor: Atlas Studios

“What did you say? Say it again?” Qiao Mei’s eyes lit up as she looked at Xia He.

“Huh? I said you don’t want to let me go to your manor,” Xia He said in confusion.

Qiao Mei grabbed Xia He’s hand anxiously and said, “No! The previous sentence!”

“You have people cleaning your houses regularly, so they definitely can’t be too dirty,” Xia He said.

This was a good business opportunity. Once the domestic economy slowly improved, everyone would have more spending power and many people would seize the opportunity to hoard a large number of properties.

If a house had no occupants, it would become inhabitable. However, there were not enough tenants in the market, so these owners would definitely need property management services! She wanted to be the first person to set up a property management company!

Xia He had been doing business with Qiao Mei for so many years and immediately knew what Qiao Mei was thinking. She immediately said, “Give me this chance!”

“Don’t you have a photo studio to run? Can you handle it if you add this business to your portfolio?” Qiao Mei asked worriedly.

Xia He was not only running a photo studio now, but she also had to work as a consultant in the art troupe and guide the new dancers. Xia Hui was also still young and needed to be closely taken care of.

“I can handle it, so don’t worry. If you can handle so many businesses, I can definitely do it too! Moreover, it’s not something that can be done immediately. For now, it’s all about the initial investment and training the staff,” Xia He said seriously.

Qiao Mei turned to Xia He with a look of gratification. She did not know why, but it felt as if her disciple had graduated. Xia He had a clear sense of the situation in the country and a pulse on the market and her business analysis was also very accurate.

“Alright, alright, let’s go and have fun together! Qiao Mei’s manor even has a hot spring! Let’s pack our luggage today and go tomorrow night!” Xia He said excitedly.

“I don’t think I’m going. I still have to look after Xia Sun,” Mo Zhu said with a smile.

“That won’t do! Sister-in-law, you have to go! You’re finally feeling better, so you have to go and relax! Leave the child to Eldest Brother!” Xia He said.

Xia Wen hugged Mo Zhu’s shoulder gently and said, “We have a helper at home, so don’t worry.”

Seeing that everyone was looking at her expectantly, Mo Zhu agreed readily. In her memories, her mother had always been the one who contributed more to the family. Women always had to take care of everything at home and all the families she knew were like this. Therefore, her own instinct was also that a woman had to contribute more to the family.

In the Xia family, Mo Zhu found a husband who loved her, relatives who cared about her and sisters-in-law who helped one another. She had never heard of such a harmonious and happy family atmosphere before.

Xia Wan returned to Qiao Mei’s house dejectedly. She kept feeling that it would not be good for her to leave with the situation being like this. She wanted to find Liu Fang and tell her all about what had happened in Country M during this period of time. She must tell Liu Fang the whole story about Gao Long and also apologize to Liu Fang properly. She had done something wrong in a moment of folly and hurt Liu Fang’s feelings.

Qiao Mei leaned against Xia Wan’s bedroom door and said, “Second Aunt-in-law is staying at Mother’s place. If you want, you can go there. I’ll leave the key here for you.”

Xia Wan looked at the key for a long time and made up her mind to go and look for Liu Fang. Liu Fang seemed to know that Xia Wan would come and was waiting quietly in the living room. No one knew how long she had been sitting there.

“Mother… I’m here,” Xia Wan said guiltily.

“Alone?” Liu Fang asked.

“Yes, it’s just me,” Xia Wan nodded and said.

Liu Fang looked at the shadow behind Xia Wan but did not say anything. It looked like Xia Wan had sneaked out. Liu Fang knew that Country M was not as safe as their home country. She had also heard about Qiao Mei’s life there over the years. It seemed that this Gao Long was quite meticulous and knew how to protect Xia Wan.

“Have a seat,” Liu Fang said as she pointed to a seat at the side.

Xia Wan sat down uneasily and the two women looked at each other in silence. After some time, Xia Wan said, “Mother, I was very busy when I was in Country M. I didn’t have time to call home and I rarely wrote letters as well. This is all my fault. I’m sorry to have made you worried.”

“Xia Wen will come and keep me updated about you. It’s fine as long as I know you’re safe,” Liu Fang said.

“Gao Long is the person in charge of Qiao Mei’s company there. At that time, he was the one who hosted me. As time passes, I realize that this person is very easy to get along with and that he likes me very much. I know what you are worried about and I’m worried about the same thing too, but I think that… not everyone is like my ex-husband,” Xia Wan said.

“I don’t think there are many people who are as rotten as your ex-husband. You just have to be careful. There’s not much I can help you with,” Liu Fang said calmly, as if all of this had nothing to do with her.
