Chapter 48 The factory area covers 12 acres, which is neither too big nor too small. Behind the factory area is a row of three-story dormitory buildings, which cost nearly one million yuan and are all under Fu Le's name. Lu Shi renovated one of the floors and turned it into an office floor. The walls were repainted white, and the simple decoration was quite presentable.

The factory area is divided into various operating rooms, and everything from cleaning, disinfection, production, and bottling is done in a very organized manner. The workers inside are all dressed in clean white work clothes, gloves, shoe covers, and hats, and there are hygiene inspectors at the door before entering the operating room. The whole process is so neat that you would think it is a food factory.

Looking at the workers operating inside through the glass window, Fu Le felt satisfied, and a sense of pride welled up within her. She was a factory owner now.

“These workers are all skilled, each with experience in cosmetics production. Our work is simple and easy to learn, so it's easy for them. Their wages are based on…”

Lu Shi accompanied her all the way, talking about the situation at the factory, while Fu Le listened quietly.

Although the most effective one doesn't sell particularly well, the regular version sells very well. Zou Qian has already taken 20,000 bottles in the past month.

"We might have to go to other cities to buy aloe vera, because we're out of stock here. I recently hired ten veterans, some of whom know how to repair cars and drive. I've already contacted a few flower growers in Guangzhou, and I'm going to go check them out today. Also, I'd like to buy two 12-ton trucks to make transportation easier for us."

"Do you have enough money?"

"That's enough. Didn't you just give me fifty?" Lu Shi was quite helpless about Fu Le's generous spending, sometimes finding it both funny and exasperating. She seemed completely unconcerned about him causing any trouble.

"You guys go over there first and find me a factory there, four times the size of this one. A small one won't look good. Also, go check out the market prices of commercial housing and office buildings in the special economic zone. The closer to a prime location, the better."

Lu Shi: ...

"Are you planning to open a branch factory?"

"I do have that plan. The market here is too small, and the number of customers who can afford it is not large. The future of the special economic zone is limitless, and I have to grab a piece of this pie." The girl's fair face still had some baby fat, but her words revealed a clear and well-defined plan for the future. Every step she took had its own rhythm, like a strategist in a position of power who planned ten steps ahead and proceeded cautiously.

Lu Shi looked deeply at the person in front of him. He was such a thin person, so why did he always give people a strange sense of security?

Realizing his thoughts were wandering, Lu Shi shook his head and replied, "Okay."

When he got home, Fu Le took out 20,000 yuan, put it on the table, and went to wash his hands.

"Lele!!" Qi Hua's loud voice came from the kitchen.

"What?" Fu Le stood up from the well, his hands still dripping water.

"Did you put this money here?" Fu Le asked, seeing the two stacks of money in his mother's hand.

"Yes, you've seen the effects of the cosmetics I make, haven't you? I made thirty bottles at home last time, and I sold them all. I kept some for myself to use for building a house."

Aunt Fu: ...

"Are those cosmetics really that valuable?" From Fu Le's first time selling milk and taking a cut, to selling braised meat and taking a cut, and now selling her own cosmetics, Fu's mother felt like she hardly recognized her daughter anymore. Was this really her daughter? Just last year, she was watching Doraemon and laughing so hard she was bent over, but this year she's grown up.

“Mom, people say that a tiger father begets no dog son. Didn’t my dad earn a lot when he was young? I just earned a little money when I was younger than him. Is that strange? Our family needs money now. I can use my knowledge and brain to make money. Isn’t that a good thing?” Fu Le asked with a smile.

Qi Hua: ...

She seemed powerless to refute it, because the facts were already laid bare: she and Lao Fu seemed to have given birth to an extraordinary girl.

"What do you mean, 'like father, like son'?" Old Fu heard the first sentence when he came in, then went to the TV room to get a teacup. When he came out, neither mother nor daughter spoke, and the atmosphere was strange, so he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Oh, it's nothing. The handmade face cream I made last time sold thirty bottles and earned me tens of thousands of yuan. My mom was shocked." Fu Le said nonchalantly, then grabbed a towel to wipe his hands and prepared to bypass his father to go back to his room.

"Wait a minute, whose money is this? What face cream? Fu Le, explain yourself clearly. Hey, Lao Qi, where did you get so much money?"

An impromptu family meeting was thus convened.

Ten minutes later, Lao Fu and Qi Hua silently looked at Fu Le. To be honest, they were a little shocked by their daughter's dramatic changes. So much had happened in the second half of her first year of high school that they had forgotten what Fu Le used to be like and how she had suddenly grown into this.

“When I come of age, I will register a company, apply for patents, and start a factory. So, Dad, you can’t continue living like this. The family needs you. After all, I still need to continue my studies. When it comes to decorating our house, you need to discuss it carefully with the contractor I found. Don’t make any changes randomly. The designer I found has already done all of this.”

Listening to his daughter's eloquent words, Old Fu could only nod and couldn't say anything else. He wondered if he, as a father, was too incompetent, which was why his child was already thinking about taking on the burden of the family at such a young age. Even if he didn't want to admit it, it was indeed the truth. So, Old Fu felt a surge of anger that prevented him from speaking.

In the dead of night, Fu Le was fast asleep, but the elderly couple downstairs were unable to fall asleep and tossed and turned.

The two chatted on and on until dawn before finally falling into a deep sleep.

The next day, when Fu Le told them that she had found a top-tier teacher to tutor her and that she had paid for it herself, the couple exchanged a glance, nodded, and had absolutely no objections. Their daughter wanted to improve herself, and if they had any objections, they would be out of their minds.

As usual, Fu Le got up at five o'clock in the morning and began to circulate his internal energy, taking advantage of the unique aura of the morning light.

Since returning, she has been getting up at five in the morning to cultivate every day, and then cultivating for two hours every night before going to sleep.

This journey to another world proved that she was too weak. These people were only learning martial arts. If there were any legendary cultivation worlds, demon worlds, parasite worlds, or other more terrifying and dangerous worlds, there was a 99% chance that she would die as soon as she appeared.

The shuttle is unreliable, and the chances of it getting bugged are too high. If she doesn't want to die, she has no choice but to train like crazy.

A week passed in the blink of an eye. Fu Le studied for six hours every day and spent the rest of her time making Qingjingcao paste. She was so self-disciplined that she was unlike a child. Her husband and she felt sorry for her and wanted to tell her not to work so hard. As the saying goes, youth is priceless and it would be a pity to waste it.

The couple was completely speechless. People say children are troublesome and exhausting, but this child is too easy to manage, which makes them even more exhausted. Sigh...
