The next day, the garment factory officially started operations, and Zhou Yang was officially transferred from the clothing store to the garment factory.

The fabric was arranged with the textile factory a long time ago and it was delivered a few days ago.

Qiaoqiao has also drawn a lot of design drafts during this period.

The garment factory is now open and can produce another batch of cotton-padded coats and down jackets before the Chinese New Year to sell during the holiday.

When Yang Qiaoqiao first opened her duck products shop, she was already preparing for her current business of making down jackets.

The duck down in the duck products store is all kept. Now that the duck down has been processed through disinfection and other procedures, it is ready to be used to make the first batch of down jackets.

While duck down isn't as warm as goose down, the difference isn't significant, and it's considerably cheaper, making it the most cost-effective down jacket option, perfect for sales in small towns.

The manufacturing process for down jackets is more complex than that for ordinary clothing, and not all workers are skilled in it.

Fortunately, Xie Fengxia and another employee named Li Xiaocao knew how to do it.

Yang Qiaoqiao selected eight other employees to work with Xie Fengxia and Li Xiaocao. Ten of them were to make down jackets, and the remaining ten were to make cotton-padded jackets.

As for the design patterns for the clothes, Yang Qiaoqiao had already drawn them out long ago.

During this time, she also taught Zhou Yang how to read drawings and make patterns, so after arranging the work in the factory on the first day, Yang Qiaoqiao felt at ease handing over the factory work to Zhou Yang.

That evening, she began packing her luggage.

As she was being pulled away, a pair of strong, powerful arms wrapped around her waist, lifting her feet off the ground and into the air.

The man rolled her over, and she skillfully wrapped her legs around his narrow waist. She glared at him reproachfully, "Brother Xiao, stop fooling around. I'm packing my bags. I have to take Peng Cuiying to Beicheng tomorrow."

She had already asked Zhu Dong to buy her train tickets a couple of days ago.

Huo Beixiao planted a kiss on her lips and gently placed her in a chair. "Wife, sit down. I'll tidy up."

Yang Qiaoqiao was already used to the man's meticulous care, so she didn't stand on ceremony with him. After kissing him back, she readily said, "Okay, then you pack up, I'll draw for a while."

She needed to draw up the designs for the spring clothes while the garment factory was producing winter clothes.

After this batch of winter clothes is produced, the next batch will be spring clothes.

She remembered that the weather got hot early the following year. It was only a few days cold before the Lunar New Year when she was buying New Year's goods. After the New Year, the sun shone every day, and she couldn't wear her winter clothes anymore.

Therefore, she had to rush to put on some spring clothes before the Chinese New Year.

This way, they can showcase their spring clothes to customers who come to the store to buy winter clothes, and when the weather warms up, the first thing people will think of is that their store sells spring clothes.

When Yang Qiaoqiao got tired of drawing, she looked up to rest her eyes and saw the man folding his change of clothes and putting them into a box.

"Brother Xiao, I'm taking Peng Cuiying to the North City, why are you putting your own clothes in the suitcase?"

Huo Beixiao had just finished packing. He closed the suitcase, walked up to the little woman, and gently stroked Yang Qiaoqiao's nose with his long, slender hand.

"Wife, do you think I can trust you to take Peng Cuiying to Beicheng to find Jiang Yongxian or Jiang Yiran by yourself?"

"What about the cement plant and the electronics market? And who will manage the construction sites in the provincial capital?" Yang Qiaoqiao didn't want to spoil the mood, but these were indeed issues that needed to be considered.

It's peak sales season for cement plants and appliance stores right now, and they're both very busy.

Construction is also underway in the provincial capital. Although the mall cannot be completed and put into use this year, it is planned to be completed and delivered before May Day next year.

Huo Beixiao looked at her tenderly, "Don't worry, your man has already made arrangements. After we send Peng Cuiying to Beicheng, we'll take the opportunity to have some fun in Beicheng and check out the market there."

"If we want to grow and succeed in business, we can't just stay in a small county like Yunxian. We need to go out and go to big cities like Beicheng and Shanghai to truly develop."

"Mmm." Yang Qiaoqiao nodded emphatically, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

Having lived a second life, she couldn't agree more with the man's viewpoint.

And I admire men's business acumen even more.

She never imagined that while most people were still content to live on the small plot of land allocated to them by the state and were determined to secure a stable job in a factory, the man had already realized that business needed to expand to larger areas to grow and become stronger.

When Huo Beixiao was looked at by the little woman's eyes, which were full of admiration and worship, he felt half of his body go numb and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

The next instant, he leaned down.

This night was destined to be another sleepless one.

In the end, Yang Qiaoqiao not only had sore arms, but also a sore cheek.

She glared at the man resentfully, "Huo Beixiao, can't we just get down to business? What kind of nonsense is this, doing things like this every day?"

Huo Beixiao: ...

Before he could even react, the woman beneath him had already taken the initiative.

He felt as if a fire was burning fiercely inside him, and the beast that had been restless for so long was now completely out of control.

He gripped the petite woman's slender waist with one large hand, his dark, deep eyes fixed intently on her bright, sparkling eyes.

He regained control and whispered solemnly in the little woman's ear, "Qiaoqiao, in this life, I will never betray you. If I break this vow, then let me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Qiaoqiao covered his lips with her slender fingers.

She looked at him with captivating, watery eyes. "Brother Xiao, there's no need to say such things. I believe you!"

Immediately, the beast within the man was completely unleashed.

After the initial pain subsided, Yang Qiaoqiao felt as if her soul had soared to the clouds, experiencing a blissful union that she had never felt in bed before in her previous life.

Her slender arms were wrapped around the man's neck.

Looking at the man's handsome face with its sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, she vaguely thought that even if she couldn't be with him in the end, she wouldn't have lost out!

Yang Qiaoqiao didn't know whether she eventually fell asleep from exhaustion or fainted.

Anyway, her memory stopped at seeing the sky turn a pale white, and then she thought that she was too impatient after all, and couldn't wait until she moved into her new home in the provincial capital.

She has no memory of what happened after that.

When she woke up again, she felt a jolt in her body.

She subconsciously opened her eyes, and what came into view was the man's superior jawline.

She belatedly realized that she was being held by a man again.

She quickly hugged the man's neck and whispered shyly, "Put me down. It's not good if people see us like this."

Huo Beixiao looked helplessly at the little woman in his arms and said matter-of-factly, "Wife, we just did what a legally married couple should do. What's wrong with people seeing us?"

Yang Qiaoqiao glared at the man, "I don't care, put me down. You may not care about your reputation, but I do!"
