Chapter 1147: Watching the Orchard Outside the City
"To be honest, business people are much smarter than country people! Your mother-in-law is an amazing person, but if she is set up by someone with ulterior motives, there is no guarantee that she can handle it. It would be best if they have no say in the business, so that even if someone wants to plot against them, they have no way to start."
Qiao Xuan agreed with this even more. There were few business families as upright as Le Zhengxiao and his gang.
The tea plantation has been exposed now, and the lipstick issue probably can't be hidden for much longer. Since neither I nor Shao Yunduan are here, it's hard to say whether anyone will have any evil intentions.
After all, money can move people’s hearts!
For the sake of money, what kind of risk would no one dare to take? Especially when the amount involved is not just a few hundred or a few thousand silver coins, but tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.
Thinking of Fang, Qiao Xuan couldn't help laughing: "My mother-in-law is just like that. No matter what others say, she pretends to know nothing and just says she will wait for my husband and I to come back and make the decision!"
Madam Le Zheng smiled and said, "Your mother-in-law is indeed a smart person."
It is better to not meddle in things you don't know about.
The two talked for a while, and Qiao Xuan asked Madam Le Zheng to help buy a dozen servants to take back. Madam Le Zheng readily agreed.
She smiled and said that she would get along well with the Shao family in the future, and occasionally invite Fang, Taotao and others to the provincial capital to stay for a few days and have a look around. With more experience, they would naturally have a better understanding.
Qiao Xuan was even more grateful. Suddenly she thought of Taotao's marriage and wanted to ask Madam Le Zheng to help her find a suitable one, but she held back.
This is not appropriate.
Madam Le Zheng is familiar with all business families, and Taotao may not be suitable for such families.
Let’s wait and see. Taotao should go out and walk around more often. Maybe the destiny will come.
As the night deepened, Qiao Xuan and Madam Le Zheng said goodbye to each other and returned to their guest rooms to rest.
Early the next morning, she wrote a letter and asked Madam Le Zheng to help send it back.
After breakfast in the morning, Le Zhengxiao came.
Le Zhengxiao wanted to see Qiao Xuan yesterday, but it was too late and it was not appropriate.
Le Zhengxiao had a lot of business matters to discuss with Qiao Xuan, and they talked for half a day.
He also settled the payment for tea, lipstick, white fungus, etc. during the time when Qiao Xuan was away, a total of more than 90,000 taels of silver.
The main reason is that the production of tea has greatly increased, the production of lipstick has also increased to a considerable extent, and the tremella and dessert shops have also been doing very well, so naturally there is no shortage of money.
Qiao Xuan calculated her wealth and found that she had saved nearly 450,000 taels!
As expected, it is good to lean on a big tree for shade. The Le Zheng family has both the manpower and the channels, and they are all top-notch configurations. She doesn't have to worry about anything, just control the source. The labor cost is so low, so the money comes easily.
If I had to run it all by myself, I would have been so overwhelmed!
Of course, she was also lucky that she met the eldest wife of the Lezheng family.
In the afternoon, Qiao Xuan couldn't wait to go out of town to see the orchard. Le Zhengxiao accompanied her, as Xie Jingrong was not in the provincial capital, but had gone out to travel.
Manager Zhou, Manager Bai, and several other senior employees had obviously received the news and were waiting with smiles on their faces.
Tangerines and grapefruits are ripe now. Qiao Xuan had tasted them before at her home in Shaoding Village, and also ate them yesterday and today at Lezheng Mansion. They are plump, juicy and sweet.
According to Le Zhengxiao, fruit tea made from these two fruits is very popular. The dessert shop also sells fresh oranges and grapefruits, and many people buy them.
