"Senior Brother?"

Li Qiao's face was full of surprise, "Why are you here?" His eyes were full of disbelief and confusion, as if he had seen the most unlikely person.

Wang Rui was a doctoral senior in the same group as Li Qiao when he was studying for his master's degree. After graduation, he was hired by a state-owned enterprise with a high salary and joined the R&D team.

She contacted the person in charge of the transferred factory, but the name didn't match. The factory was under the name of a woman named Xu Juan.

Seeing her surprise, the man's neck slowly turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "Xu Juan is my mother. I saw your name and thought it was you, so I took the initiative to come here."

"Please sit down first."

"good."

The young man who was once full of vigor and vitality has become so restrained, his eyes full of vicissitudes and panic after being oppressed by life.

"Brother, where do you work now? Are you still in the old company?" He didn't get to the point.

"No, I quit."

The man sighed and said, "I worked there for two years. My father fell ill and the family's capital chain had problems, so I had to go back to help the family. But I am not cut out for business. Not to mention filling the hole, I owe the bank a lot. If I don't pay it back, I will be on the list of dishonest persons." He deeply lamented the impermanence of life.

Li Qiao pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes, a gleam of brilliance flashing in his eyes. "Since we're acquaintances, I'll be frank. I'm planning to buy out your entire factory. As for the price, I'd like to see it reduced by another 10% based on my budget."

"Business is business, I understand." Wang Rui twitched his lips helplessly. Although he was in urgent need of money, he wouldn't beg his former junior sister for more money, as if it were alms. If it were any other stranger, he might have been more shameless and asked for more.

"It's been a few years since I last saw you. I've been in such a mess that I'm too embarrassed to even see my mentor."

"Brother, don't say that. Your professional ability is obvious to all of us." Li Qiao smiled politely and poured him a cup of tea, which made the man even more flattered and he almost couldn't help but stand up from his chair.

"How much of your industry knowledge do you still remember? Can you guarantee that you can recover 80% of what you once knew?"

"What do you mean...?" Wang Rui was not stupid, so he couldn't believe it.

Li Qiao took a leisurely sip of tea and raised her hand to signal him to calm down. "In the early stages of starting a business, I need talent. I'm sorry, I can't let you invest in your technology, but the salary I offer will not be low. As for your family's debt, I can lend you money for an emergency, interest-free. Would you consider it?"

"I... I might..." As the man stammered, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

At his age, he no longer has the drive he had when he was young. He hasn't gotten started for a long time and is afraid that he won't do it well.

"Don't be nervous, I believe you can do it." Li Qiao jokingly said, "I'm worried about how to recruit people from other places. It's fate that we met here, so don't feel burdened. Besides, following me doesn't guarantee you'll make money. You know, when I was minoring in business administration, I always skipped classes."

Her tone sounded like she was talking to an old friend, without a trace of strangeness. Wang Rui unconsciously relaxed.

"I know you want to help me, thank you." He stood up and bowed deeply, with tears in his eyes.

No, Li Qiao doesn't deserve this.

She wasn't a philanthropist. Her once-reliable friends had all turned against her, leaving her alone with no resources or manpower, and having to build everything from scratch. If that weren't the case, she might not have hired Wang Rui.

Xuxu helped the grateful man up and said with a faint smile, "Did you bring the transfer contract? Don't delay, sign it today."

She showed a certain sincerity. Wang Rui paused and took out a stack of contracts from the black handbag beside him. "Here I am. Take another look at it. Is there anything that needs to be changed?"

Li Qiao quickly flipped through the pages one by one, finally signing his name on the last page. "There's nothing to change. I've already reviewed the electronic version of the contract. As for the subsequent transfer, the process might be a little slower on my end, so please wait a few more days."

“No trouble, no trouble, thank you…”

…

After a brief greeting, Li Qiao rushed back to the Children's Palace just before the end of get out of class, but she was still a step too late. The get out of class was over, and as soon as she came in, she was pounced on by a little kid.

Little Li Yao was halfway through class when he realized his mom was missing. He was completely on pins and needles, unable to concentrate at all. Even Su Anran, who was standing next to him, didn't respond when she spoke to him, which made Su Anran so angry that she almost fell backwards and strangled this uneducated little villain.

"Auntie Li, where have you been? Li Yao has been distracted in class." Su Anran smiled with narrowed eyes.

Scold him quickly! Scold him quickly!

The little villain didn't listen to such an expensive class at all. He paid for it. Su Anran felt that if she were Li Qiao, she would be so angry that her lungs would explode.

But Li Qiao is not her.

"Oh, I'm sorry, baby. Mommy is back late."

The little guy was not good at talking. His eyes had been reddened by Su Anran's words, but when he heard his mother's words, his eyes suddenly lit up. He buried his head and mumbled "hmm", "I'm sorry."

He didn't mean to skip class, so don't be angry, mom.

Li Qiao picked him up from the ground and said, "Why apologize? Xiaoyao did nothing wrong." The mother and son were very affectionate, and anyone who saw them could tell they were a loving couple.

Su Anran: “…” She was so angry that she looked like a pufferfish.

It can be seen that this woman Li Qiao has no bottom line. She lets the little villain do whatever he wants. Isn't she afraid of making him useless?

Su Anran thought darkly that it would be best if the little villain could learn to be bad and rebellious and become a criminal...

Eh?

Suddenly, an idea struck me.

Criminal?

Got it.

Hehehe, she quietly lurks around the villain, slowly and slowly guiding him to become a social scum. By then, everyone will abandon the villain. She is so smart.

"Little Ningning, what are you thinking about?"

Su Anran suddenly met Li Qiao's eyes, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly shook off the bad thoughts in her mind. She tilted her head and said with a smile, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"

Damn it! Was Li Qiao doing this on purpose? Why was she staring at her with that half-smiley look?

Su Anran was terrified. Would she be discovered?

She carefully observed Li Qiao's expression and found that he didn't care about her at all. She became angry again.

There were two hours of classes in the morning, and most of the children could not sit still, but Li Qiao's child was quiet, with his back straight, and listened to the class attentively.

Su Anran couldn't stand it at the beginning of the second class, and soon fell asleep on the table. Ten minutes before the end of the get out of class, she woke up in a daze and wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth.

She glanced at the little villain beside her and rolled her eyes secretly. It's no use studying so hard, little brat, do you understand?

Her eyes rolled around, and when she thought of something, she smiled and poked little Li Yao's arm.

"Li Yao, Li Yao..."

Little Li Yao was annoyed and looked at her with a frown.

"My dad is here to pick me up today. Li Yao, where's your dad? My dad is super nice to me. Is your dad nice to you?"

Little bastard without a father, start feeling inferior soon.
