Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qiao Mei had originally intended to cause some trouble so that Huang Quan and Tan Jing would quarrel with each other. She did not expect that things would develop to this extent on its own. Tan Shi had already gone to jail. He was sentenced to life imprisonment because of the huge sum of money involved. The Tan family lost one of their sons and Tan Jings parents went to the Huang family’s house every day to create trouble, causing chaos in the Huang family!

Qiao Mei and the Xia family had personally experienced the antics of Tan

Jings parents. With these two people stirring up trouble, the Huang family

and the Tan family would not have a peaceful life in the future. She was relieved to hear that Tan Jing was not doing well.

Li Xin and Liu Guang sent their families back to their hometown first, then they rushed to Shen City without even stopping to take a rest. They were both looking forward to meeting Qiao Mei. They had thought that Qiao Mei would discard them after the task was done, so they did not expect to be able to continue working for her!

To them, this was the most wonderful piece of news! Back then, they had tried to think of ways to become Qiao Mei’s trusted aides, but at that time, there was a limit to what they could do and no one thought highly of them. Things were different by now! Since they had completed the task given to them, as long as they worked hard for Qiao Mei, they would have a life of wealth and glory!

“Sister-in-law! What can we do for you this time?” Li Xin said happily.

“Don’t be so anxious. The two of you did very well last time, so I must reward you.” Qiao Mei took out two small boxes from under the table. She patted the boxes and said, “One for each of you. Open them up and take a look.”

Li Xin could not wait to take the box and open it. Liu Guang pressed down on Li Xin’s hand and said, “We haven’t thanked Sister-in-law yet!’

“Oh, right, right, right! Look at me! I’m so excited that I didn’t think of that. I’m really sorry, Sister-in-law!” Li Xin said embarrassedly.

“There’s no need to be so polite. We’re all on the same team. You can open the box now,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

Li Xin and Liu Guang opened the boxes expectantly and all they saw was money! The two boxes were filled with money! The two of them wondered if this moment was real.

Li Xin immediately tugged at Liu Guang and said, “Brother Liu… Slap me… Am 1 dreaming?”

Liu Guang gave Li Xin a hard slap and Li Xin immediately shouted out in pain, “Ouch! It hurts! It’s real! Brother Liu, this is real! It’s really full of money!’

Qiao Mei had given each of them 120,000 dollars as their remuneration. In the beginning, Qiao Mei had estimated that the Huang family would lose about two million dollars. By the end of it, she calculated that the Huang family had lost nearly four million dollars! It was double the amount she expected! Once they sold those goods, they only needed to deduct the transportation costs and the rest was pure profit.

Therefore, Qiao Mei did not feel that it was too much to give each of them 120,000 dollars as remuneration. In fact, it may even be too little.

“Sister-in-law! Is all this money really for us? Actually, we didn’t do much. It’s your plan that’s good,” Li Xin said.

“What’s wrong? You don’t dare to accept it? You deserve the money,” Qiao Mei said.

“I’m indeed a little scared. I’ve never seen so much money in my life! If I bring all this money home, my wife may divorce me! She will think that I robbed a bank!” Li Xin said honestly.

In an era where everyone’s annual income was only 1,000 dollars, the amount of 120,000 dollars was indeed not a small amount. For one to save up this amount of money, one had to save for 12 years without eating and drinking! “This is just the tip of the iceberg. We’ll earn even more money in the future,” Qiao Mei said.

Li Xin and Liu Guang put away the money in a secure place. Qiao Mei told the two of them to work with Wu Duo and made them his right-hand men. Moving forward, Wu Duo would have an easier time in Shen City.

Xiang Chen had a very busy day and made some progress on the matter of bidding for the land. He had been secretly observing Qiao Mei over the past few days and realized that Qiao Mei did not seem to intend to hand over all the assets in Shen City to him. He felt a little uncomfortable about that.

“Cousin-in-law, do you have time now? I’d like to have a chat with you,” Xiang Chen said.

“Sure, let’s go into the study.” Qiao Mei led Xiang Chen to the study. She made tea for him first and the two of them chatted about the recent events while drinking tea.

After hesitating for a long time, Xiang Chen finally made up his mind and said, “Cousin-in-law, are you going to give up on me?”

“What are you saying?” Qiao Mei asked as she looked at Xiang Chen in confusion.

“After you came to Shen City, you handed all the tasks to Wu Duo. I can tell that you think very highly of him,” Xiang Chen said..
