Xiang Baiwei's face was full of helplessness: "Why would I lie to you? Of course what I said is true. Look how old my house is. Wouldn't it be better to build an auxiliary room?"

After confirming that Xiang Baiwei was not lying to her this time, Wang Chunhua finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she still expressed her objection: "Forget it. Your workshop is doing well and there are places where you need money. You might as well keep the money for now."

Seeing that Wang Chunhua still disagreed, Xiang Baiwei decided to use a big move: "But the current house only has one bedroom. If we have a child in the future, where will the child live?"

Wang Chunhua didn't buy it at all: "It takes a woman ten months to get pregnant. Don't worry. Wait until you are really pregnant before covering it. It will still be in time."

Having said that, Xiang Baiwei knew that if she wanted to get a bonus room, she still needed Jiang Sui's consent.

But he will definitely not agree.

Xiang Baiwei was so angry that she turned around and went into the house to clean up.

If she doesn’t want to build it, then don’t build it. At worst, after the workshop is expanded into a factory, she can secretly build a lounge in the factory.

There are plenty of ways anyway.

As the days passed, the six college students in the village who were admitted to college also went to register at the university one after another.

Everything looks so peaceful.

And under the calm and boring water surface, Liu Mei, who had been peaceful for a long time, set her sights on the two workshops opened by Xiang Baiwei.

After failing the college entrance examination, Liu Mei was depressed for a while, and then returned to her original job.

In her spare time, she noticed that the fruit processing workshop was doing increasingly prosperous business.

Seeing Xiang Baiwei making more and more money, Liu Mei felt jealous and itchy in her heart.

Especially after she learned that Chi Kunli invested money and became the boss of the workshop, she felt even more upset.

She also wanted to be taken with her to make a lot of money.

Liu Mei, who had become interested in this, knocked on the door of Xiang Baiwei's house in the afternoon that day, carrying two pieces of bacon.

It was a rare opportunity for her to have some free time, so she took the opportunity to go home and clean up the house. At this moment, Xiang Baiwei was sitting in the yard reading a book and basking in the sun. When she heard Liu Mei's voice outside the door, she was stunned for a long time.

Liu Mei hasn't visited for a long time.

It came suddenly today, and I have no idea what's going on.

Xiang Baiwei put away the review materials in her hand, put them back in the room, and then went to open the door.

Liu Mei, who had been waiting for a long time, was hesitating whether to leave when Xiang Baiwei opened the door and said, "Liu Mei? What's wrong? Do you have something to talk to me about?"

Liu Mei held up the bacon in her hand and said, "I made a lot of bacon, and I thought you liked to eat it, so I brought some to you."

Xiang Baiwei pretended to be surprised and took it: "You are so thoughtful. You still think of me. Thank you."

"Why are you being polite to me?" Liu Mei walked into the yard with a smile, her eyes sweeping around the yard unscrupulously, "Are you basking in the sun?"

"I just posted it. I went into the room when you knocked on the door, so I didn't hear it." After all, they haven't completely fallen out yet. When they are together, they still wear a shaky mask of friendship.

Xiang Baiwei hung the dried bacon that Liu Mei brought under the beam, took out a large bowl and poured her a bowl of water, and then entertained her in the yard.

Even though Liu Mei's eyes were wide open, she was still looking into the house.

"Although the weather is getting colder, the sun is still quite hot." Liu Mei held a large bowl and hinted to Baiwei that she should invite the guests into the house.

Xiang Baiwei didn't want to bring her into the house. Liu Mei's eyes were like a thief, looking around everywhere, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Thanks to Liu Mei, the food in the dog bowl was originally supposed to be fed at night.

Xiang Baiwei didn't want to just stand and talk, and after thinking it over, the only job she could do was to feed the dogs.

The owner was squatting beside the doghouse feeding the dog. Liu Mei was concerned about her reputation and naturally did not want to go into the house herself.

She came over and said, "You have taken good care of your big yellow dog. It's shiny and smooth, and it's getting fatter and fatter."

Xiang Baiwei listened to her obviously perfunctory words and sneered in her heart, but she had to continue to pretend to be nice to him on the surface: "By the way, how come you have time to come to my place today?"

"Can't I come to your place?" Liu Mei teased her with a smile, "I came here specially to bring you bacon, did you forget about it after I said it?"

Xiang Baiwei tapped his forehead and suddenly realized: "It's my fault. I forgot right after you said it. I'm so sorry."

"It's okay. You are a forgetful person." Liu Mei said in a strange tone. Before Xiang Baiwei could react, she immediately said, "But you are really amazing. You have run two decent workshops by yourself. We young people should learn from you."

These words of praise came out one after another as if they were free.

The more Xiang Baiwei listened to the praise, the more frightened she felt.

It was the first time she saw Liu Mei praising herself so hard.

Although I praised it before, it was not as exaggerated as it is now.

Especially in the past, every time I praised myself, my purpose was to fool myself.

I think this time will be no exception.

Xiang Baiwei stood still, teasing the dog which was eating with a calm expression.

Liu Mei must have come here for something today, so she wanted to see what Liu Mei was going to perform.

After praising for a while, Liu Mei finally felt tired. She took a few sips of water from the bowl, and then hesitantly explained her real purpose: "Your workshop is doing so well, you must be planning to turn it into a big factory in the future, right?"

Xiang Baiwei did have this plan, but for safety reasons, she did not reveal this intention to anyone.

Including best friend Chi Kunli.

She was afraid that what she said might not come true.

"How can that be possible? I am only capable of opening a small workshop, but I don't have the ability to run a big factory." Xiang Baiwei smiled modestly.

"I think you're pretty capable. Most of the people who come to you for cooperation are from the provincial capital." Liu Mei continued to persuade Xiang Baiwei unwillingly, "Are you willing to stay in Xiangjia Village for the rest of your life?"

"Stay here? It's quite nice." Xiang Baiwei looked at Liu Mei who was trying to persuade her, "This place has beautiful scenery. Jiang Sui even praised it as a good place in poetry."

"What's so good about living in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers?" Liu Mei looked anxious. "Well, I still have some savings. I want to take them out and use the money to invest in you to support you in opening a big factory."

In these few short sentences, Liu Mei made a new plan based on Xiang Baiwei's attitude.

It would be better if Xiang Baiwei didn't have lofty ambitions, because that way it would be easier to fool her.

After she comes back with money to invest and they work together to build a big factory, she can ask her aunt Jenny for advice and try to find a way to kick Xiang Baiwei out of the decision-making level.

Then it would be like she got a factory for nothing.
