Unlike clothes, which can be made with a sewing machine, needle, thread, and a pair of scissors, bags cannot be made entirely of cloth. In this day and age, they would be nothing new.

Since many people now use cloth bags, if Qinglv were to release a cloth bag that sells well, families with the means and the fabric would be able to replicate the same style one-to-one in no time.

This will inevitably affect sales.

If we're going to do it, we should do leather products. But if we're going to do leather products, we'll need to connect with new resources. Once we start, there'll be a ton of work to do.

Lin Xiaoxiao had also mentioned this idea to Han Qiushi. Leather resources weren't difficult to obtain, but the machinery was hard to come by these days, and it was also extremely expensive, which would greatly increase the cost.

However, if this matter can be resolved, Qinglu's reputation will surely rise to a new level.

Han Qiushi himself doesn't understand these things, but he has resources. If this factory is built, how many veterans' jobs can it solve?

Now, his situation is that as soon as he opens his mouth, people come with resources and ask for a collaboration.

There's nothing else to it, except that this green factory, apart from a slightly lower profit in the first month, has consistently made at least a thousand yuan a month in the following months.

This is the profit after deducting the wages of 30 people, food expenses, and other miscellaneous costs. It not only solves the employment problem but also gives them hope. How can such a factory not be the envy of others?

That's why people outside are going to great lengths to squeeze in.

The factory is doing well, and many people envy it, but even more people are jealous. At this time, everyone hates the rich. Fortunately, the factory is affiliated with the military, so Lin Xiaoxiao is receiving a salary. Otherwise, in these days, she would receive several reports every day.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Han Qiushi had actually received these complaint letters during this period.

They're accused of corrupt lifestyles and abusing their power for personal gain. Regardless of whether there's evidence, the report is filed anyway. Ideally, they'll get a brick thrown at their heads, but even if not, just submitting the report will make them feel a little better.

When someone reports something, someone will take action. After an investigation by higher-ups, it was found that Lin Xiaoxiao and Han Qiushi were very reliable. There was nothing extra in their home. The only money in their bank account was Han Qiushi's salary from the army and his mission rewards.

Lin Xiaoxiao's account was practically empty. According to her explanation, she loved to eat, and whether it was her salary from Wangjia Village or the army, she used it all to buy food.

The reason why the food at home is so good is that all of Lin Xiaoxiao's money is in her spatial storage space. No matter how safe a bank is, it's not as safe as her spatial storage space, so naturally nothing can be found out about it. As for the fact that she uses it all to buy food, that's another story.

That's because many of the dishes at home were secretly taken from her spatial storage. There was always meat on the table every day, and it was all good meat. Such dishes were very luxurious these days, but it makes sense that she spent all her money on food.

With the wages from both sides combined, it amounted to at least a hundred yuan, all of which was used to buy groceries, so the meals were naturally top-notch and extravagant.

It's my own business if I'm willing to spend money on food; it has nothing to do with my lifestyle. The government can regulate lifestyles, that's true, but it can't control whether someone spends all their money on groceries. The money is cleanly earned; if there's anything wrong with that...

Who would dare to spend money on things then? If no one buys anything, how can the country's economy develop? Not to mention the future.

Lin Xiaoxiao immediately declared, "This is my way of spending money. It's just a difference in spending habits, and it's not illegal. If they're envious or jealous, then they can spend all their salary on food too."

"They wouldn't dare do that, so what's the point of talking about it?"

Upon hearing this, the inspector's brow twitched involuntarily at Lin Xiaoxiao's bluntness. "What you said isn't wrong... but what you're doing is against everyone else..."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Comrade, I may be speaking harshly, and you could even call it fallacy, but fallacy is still logic..."

"The government pays me a salary, but there are no rules about how I should use it..."

Okay, okay, you're the quickest talker. You can't argue with me. The supervisors get a headache as soon as they face Lin Xiaoxiao's machine gun-like mouth. They quickly leave after handling the case.

The Han family is not to be trifled with now, and they also have a sharp tongue. How are we supposed to educate them? Anyway, they're just conducting an investigation, not education experts. If the public has any objections, let them handle it themselves.

After these words were spoken, the people around her quieted down considerably. Even if others wanted to criticize her, they could only say behind her back that Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know how to manage money. She had the ability to make money, but if she didn't know how to save it, it was useless.

After all that, at least the neighbors weren't as hostile towards the Han family behind their backs as they had been at the beginning.

The Han family is currently enjoying immense prestige, but upon investigation, it turns out they have no savings whatsoever. Their family actually has more savings than the Han family, and they still have to work themselves to the bone every day, entertaining so many people. Compared to that, they instantly feel much better.

After this storm passed, the matter of the whistleblower finally faded into the past.

But there are always restless people plotting behind the scenes.

Families like the Wan and Wen families were already quite unhappy about Lin Xiaoxiao making money for the Han family; what they envied most was Han Qiushi's untold resources.

Looking around the capital, there are only a few capable young masters. Wen Tianshi, who has also made military achievements, can rely on his own abilities to slowly compete for resources.

But now, all the resources in the military are being poured into Han Qiushi. How are we supposed to play like this?

The rule in this circle is that healthy competition always exists and is allowed; the winner takes all and the loser is determined by their own abilities. However, once someone breaks this balance...

Then don't blame me for messing with you behind your back.
