Yang Qiaoqiao asked Zhou Yang to find trustworthy people to replace the people who were originally protecting Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia, the ones who were under Guo Tao's protection.
She didn't expect Guo Tao and the others to side with her when she and Huo Beixiao went to divorce proceedings. She could only do her best to prepare now and gradually remove Huo Beixiao from her life.
The next day, Yang Qiaoqiao entrusted her two children, An'an and Lele, to Aunt Zhang's care and went to the clothing factory in the morning.
Inside the garment factory, the sewing machines have been installed, and Deng Hongying is leading the team to tidy up the factory. They are just waiting for the workers to be in place so that production can officially begin.
"Qiaoqiao, our factory has a thousand sewing machines, it's so impressive. Our canteen and dormitory have all been cleaned up, they're clean, tidy and impressive, I'll take you to see them."
Deng Hongying is a very reliable person.
Yang Qiaoqiao originally hired her to be in charge of sales, but before the factory was built and the clothing was put into production, there was no goods to sell. So Deng Hongying had been assisting Zhou Yang, basically acting as Zhou Yang's assistant.
Now, besides Zhou Yang, she is the only one most familiar with this newly built factory.
After Deng Hongying showed Yang Qiaoqiao the canteen and dormitory, she also praised Zhou Yang highly.
"Qiaoqiao, when you brought me to the factory before and told me that Zhou Yang was in charge of it, I was a little apprehensive. I thought you were too bold to let such a big factory be managed by a kid who looked to be less than twenty years old."
Now I realize it wasn't that you were bold, but that I underestimated you. Zhou Yang, at such a young age, is meticulous and experienced in his work, handling everything thoroughly and with perfect balance. He's truly amazing. Even someone two decades older than him might not be able to manage things better.
Yang Qiaoqiao listened to Deng Hongying's praise of Zhou Yang, but just smiled and didn't say anything.
After all, he had been with her since she started her street vending business. Zhou Yang himself had a talent for this, and with her guidance and training, he was able to improve.
If Zhou Yang can't do all these things perfectly, then it would be a waste of the effort she has put into these two years.
Yang Qiaoqiao ate lunch at the factory canteen.
There aren't many people in the factory yet, and not many people are eating either. However, the canteen chef that Zhou Yang hired still makes two different cuisines. One is Sichuan cuisine made by a Sichuan chef that Zhou Yang hired, and the other is local Shanghai cuisine made by a chef from Gangcheng.
Sichuan cuisine has five main dishes, and Shanghai cuisine also has five main dishes.
Yang Qiaoqiao tried a little of everything, and they all tasted pretty good. Although they couldn't compare to those made by famous chefs in big hotels, they were much better than the food in many small, privately owned restaurants.
As a cafeteria dish, it's not bad.
After lunch, Yang Qiaoqiao received a call from Zhou Yang, who said that he had replaced the people protecting Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia with his own people.
Moreover, at this time, only Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia were at home, and Yang Qiaoqiao thought that she could go to visit the two elderly people now.
Yang Qiaoqiao then called Aunt Zhang and took An'an and Lele to the house where Xia Yuntao and his wife lived.
Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao had spoken with Xia Yuntao and Wang Shuyi before going to Hong Kong.
Moreover, Yang Qiaoqiao had already told them that she would come to see them when they returned from Hong Kong.
Xia Yuntao and Wang Shuyi had been worried about Yang Qiaoqiao and the others not coming for so long.
At this moment, seeing Yang Qiaoqiao and Aunt Zhang holding An'an and Lele, the elderly couple excitedly took the two little ones from their arms.
"Oh, little An'an, do you still remember your great-grandfather?"
Xia Yuntao held Xiao An'an and happily teased the little girl.
An An always had a cold and aloof demeanor towards others.
But she was always warm towards Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia. When she heard Grandpa Xia talking to her, she looked at him with her big, round, bright eyes and started making "oh oh oh" noises.
It was as if she was telling Grandpa Xia how much she missed them.
Even though Xia Yuntao couldn't understand a word she was saying, he still solemnly gave her a finger to hold and replied, "Our An'an misses Grandpa, doesn't she? Grandpa misses An'an too..."
On the other side, Lele, who was being held by Wang Shuyi, was already a chatterbox, and now she kept saying "oh oh oh" non-stop.
Wang Shuyi was so happy she couldn't stop smiling.
The elderly couple stood in the yard playing with the child for a while before going inside with Yang Qiaoqiao and Aunt Zhang.
After entering the house, Xia Yuntao became more serious. "Qiaoqiao, you and Beixiao were gone to Hong Kong for so long this time. Did something happen? Beixiao didn't come with you today. Has he not returned yet?"
Yang Qiaoqiao nodded and told Xia Yuntao about the incident and injuries they had encountered in Gangcheng.
Xia Yuntao frowned after listening. "Have you found out who bribed the driver?"
Yang Qiaoqiao shook her head. "The other party bribed the driver with cash. After the car plunged into the sea, Huo Beixiao and I escaped, but the driver died."
With no one to testify since he's dead, his family doesn't know who gave him the money, nor can they find out who bribed him.
Yang Qiaoqiao still can't figure out who made the driver take them to that road.
They had just arrived in the port city and had no enemies with anyone.
But there's no answer to this question if you just think about it, so Yang Qiaoqiao simply put it out of her mind.
At this moment, it was Wang Shuyi who noticed that Yang Qiaoqiao's way of addressing Huo Beixiao had changed, and asked worriedly, "Qiaoqiao, is something wrong between you and Beixiao?"
Yang Qiaoqiao paused for a moment, but decided to tell the two elderly people the truth.
After listening, Xia Yuntao and Wang Shuyi remained silent for a long time.
"Qiaoqiao, although I don't think Beixiao is the kind of person who would be unfaithful to a relationship or marriage, if he really did these things, then Grandma Xia and I would absolutely support your divorce."
Looking into Xia Yuntao's determined eyes, Yang Qiaoqiao felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Even if she was unlucky in love in this life, it was still much better than her previous life.
Throughout her life, she will always have so many people who will stand by her side unconditionally.
"Grandpa Xia, Grandma Xia, let's not talk about me anymore. How have you been lately?" Yang Qiaoqiao asked.
Actually, she had already learned about it from Zhou Yang before she came.
Xia Ruizhe's family of four still goes out to work.
But the family of four were all pleasure-seeking people. They would spend every penny they earned from working on eating out. Occasionally, they would bring back a couple of steamed buns for Grandpa and Grandma Xia, which was considered a sudden act of kindness from them.
Xia Yuntao and Wang Shuyi clearly didn't want to mention Xia Ruizhe and his family of four.
Xia Yuntao shook his head and said, "Forget it, I never expected them to change their ways anyway."
