Tan Jing smiled happily. The fish had finally taken the bait. Now, she only needed to slowly rein in the line and she would successfully catch this “big fish” one day!

Qiao Mei was not going to let go of this issue. How could she let them take those expensive machines just like that? After she returned home, she asked Yao Nian to keep an eye on the movements of everyone in the Huang and Tan families. As soon as there was any activity, he had to report back to her.

A few days later, Qiao Mei learned that Tan Jings younger brother, Tan Shi, had rented an empty warehouse in Lian City. Huang Quan was smart enough to ask Tan Shi to buy over a small food company that had gone bankrupt. This way, they just needed to change the name of the legal representative and did not have to go through the tedious procedures of setting up a new company.

When it was time to confirm the name of the new legal representative, Huang Quan was a little hesitant. The Huang family still had some influence in Lian City and the capital, but if Tan Shi took the money and ran to someone else’s territory or went overseas, where could he go to settle the score with Tan Shi?

He would only feel at ease if he was the actual legal representative of the company. However, to the public, they would make it sound like Tan Shi was the legal representative. After all, in order to keep a factory running, the most important factor was still money. The bulk of the money would come from the Huang family and Tan Shi was just a worker.

Tan Jing had already discussed the matter with Tan Shi. On the surface, Tan

Shi was doing this business with Huang Quan on a 40-60 split, but in fact, Tan Shi had to give half of his share to Tan Jinga This was a secret between the two siblings and Huang Quan did not know anything about it.

Since Tan Shi did not need to put in any investment to get a share of the business, he was naturally very willing to be involved. Moreover, Tan Jing had also agreed to find Tan Shi a wife from an upper-class family.

Qiao Mei gathered all her staff in the factory’s meeting room to discuss countermeasures. During this period of time, everyone had worked hard to prepare for the new production line and they all looked forward to making more money together with Qiao Mei. They certainly did not expect that after working hard for nearly a month, there was nothing to show for it and all their things were snatched away by others.

Chi Ze said angrily, “This bunch of beasts! They took our things and still want to set up a factory! They’re really going too far!”

“What should we do now?” Niao Hang asked as he looked at Qiao Mei.

“There’s no urgency for now,” Qiao Mei said calmly.

Since Huang Quan wanted to compete with her, she would give him the chance. If she made a move to take back the machines now, he only needed to give back what he had taken and he would not suffer any loss. This would not be worth her efforts. She wanted to make him pay a bloody price for what he did!

“l want to ask all of you if you know any quick-witted people who are very eloquent and have not really stayed in the capital before, as in people who will not be recognized in the capital,” Qiao Mei asked as she looked at everyone.

Everyone pondered for a long time, then Chi Ze seemed to think of someone. He stood up excitedly and said, “l know! Sometime back, two brothers, who are retired soldiers, came to the factory to help out, but they quit because they had to settle some issues at home. The two of them fit what you’re looking for!”

“Where are the two of them now?” Qiao Mei asked.

“They should have returned to their hometown. They’re not in the capital but not too far away. If we get in touch with them now, they should be able to reach the capital by tomorrow night at the latest,” Chi Ze said.

“Alright, please go and discuss it with them. 1 want to meet them. After they complete the task, I’ll definitely reward them handsomely,” Qiao Mei said.

Back when Qiao Mei was selling braised meat and popcorn, she had helped many people to make a living. After these people made enough money, some of them decided to go home to get married, have children and then live a quiet life. Others chose to stay in the capital and continue working with Qiao Mei.

These two brothers were always grateful to Qiao Mei. After receiving Chi Ze’s call, they immediately bought tickets on the earliest train heading to the capital without another word.

They were both in their early 30s. One of them was burly and strong. The other looked thin and weak, but seemed very shrewd. Chi Ze pointed at the two of them and made an introduction. “This is Liu Guang and that is Li Xin. We retired from the army together and they are definitely trustworthy people. ”

Liu Guang and Li Xin looked at Qiao Mei reservedly. They did not know why they had been called to the capital in such a hurry.

“Take a seat! Everyone, sit down! We’re all on the same team and it doesn’t need to be so prim and proper between us. Chi Ze and the others all address me as Sister-in-law. You can do that too,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

“Hello, Sister-in-law!” the two of them said in unison.

“I have asked you to come because I need your help with something. After the task is done, I’ll definitely thank you with a big reward,” Qiao Mei said seriously..
