Qin Xiaoyu was startled and quickly used her sleeve to wipe the drool off the shoe stool.
"It's alright, Grandma, I'll take her downstairs for dinner." A Lei stood in front of Qin Xiaoyu to cover her.
"Alxe, why are you being so petty? It's just a broken shoe stool. If you don't like it, just throw it away. Why make such a fuss? Sigh, Xiaoyu, you don't need to rush to clean it up. If you didn't finish last night, you can continue today." After saying that, Madam Fang turned around and went downstairs.
"Wow!" A Lei exclaimed, casting an admiring glance at Qin Xiaoyu.
"What's wrong?" Qin Xiaoyu was overjoyed. Having the chance to enter this dressing room was the happiest thing for her.
“Third sister is Grandma’s favorite, even more so than me. She was punished by kneeling for an hour because she broke a hatbox.” A Lei didn’t want to explain any further. After saying that, he picked up Qin Xiaoyu and said, “Let’s go eat. Do you want to starve back the two pounds you’ve gained? I don’t like women who are all skin and bones.”
"Hey! What business is it of yours whether I'm fat or thin!" Qin Xiaoyu glared angrily.
"Why shouldn't I have a say? I'm the one with the right to speak." The two argued all the way into the restaurant.
"Sleeping in the walk-in closet?" Fang Baobao's exaggerated expression froze on the spot as Mrs. Fang and she were head to head, talking about what happened last night.
"Sit down and eat," Madam Fang gestured to Qin Xiaoyu.
"Thank you." Qin Xiaoyu looked at Shu Fulei with a happy smile and swallowed.
"You can stay a few more days; my walk-in closet is yours," Mrs. Fang said generously.
"Really!" Qin Xiaoyu said with surprise, but her eyes quickly dimmed and she said disappointedly, "The cooperation with Shanghai No. 1 Department Store is urgent. I need to go back to the Northeast to make arrangements."
"That's easy. Come stay here again next time you're in Shanghai. My walk-in closet will always be open to you." Mrs. Fang smiled kindly, and even Fang Baobao was stunned.
"Grandma! You're being unfair! Why won't you open the cake to me?" Fang Baobao angrily stabbed the cake with her fork.
"That's very rude of you. Don't take your anger out on food." Mrs. Fang gave me a murderous look, then continued, "You messed this up yourself. You don't know, she took my most beloved pair of pants and punched a lot of holes in them..."
This is Mrs. Fang complaining to Qin Xiaoyu.
"She probably wanted to incorporate some fashion elements," Qin Xiaoyu said, trying to smooth things over. Fang Baobao glanced at her dismissively, not appreciating her words.
"What does she know about fashion?" A Lei retorted on Qin Xiaoyu's behalf.
"Alxe, you look very naughty. Be careful, or I'll tell Qin... Factory Manager all your dirty secrets." Fang Baobao smiled coldly.
"Don't joke around, this isn't funny at all." A genuine hint of panic flashed in Are's eyes.
"Looks like your history is quite interesting." Qin Xiaoyu, of course, wanted to kick someone when they were down, and she chose the biggest one to throw at them.
“It’s inevitable to be impetuous when you’re young. Everyone has a story. Let’s not bring up the past.” Madam Fang, eager to protect her grandson, immediately spoke up.
"Are you leaving? I'll book you a plane ticket. Taking the train is too tiring." A Lei quickly changed the subject.
"Thanks then." Qin Xiaoyu did not refuse.
A Lei didn't drive Qin Xiaoyu to the airport; they rode in Mrs. Fang's car, a silver-gray Rolls-Royce Phantom.
After getting off the car at the airport, Qin Xiaoyu was worried about her luggage. Before she could run over, A Lei grabbed her arm and led her straight up to the VIP waiting area.
"Don't check my luggage!" Qin Xiaoyu protested.
“You have to check it in. You can take a nap on the plane. I know your temper; you’ll start working as soon as you get home. You didn’t get more than a few hours of sleep in Shanghai, but you’ll make up for it all on the plane.” A Lei spoke decisively, and Qin Xiaoyu knew she couldn’t argue with him.
She used to always fly in economy class, but when she sat in first class, she realized that flying could be a pleasure.
She's such a stubborn person. If A Lei tells her to sleep, she just won't... that's impossible.
Twice, she felt the flight attendant calling her, as if it was lunchtime. But she was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open.
It wasn't until the plane lurched heavily during landing that she suddenly realized what had happened. Everyone says first class has the best food; what had she missed?
Frustrated, foodie Qin Xiaoyu pouted as she walked down the stairs and immediately saw someone holding a large white sign with three big characters written on it: Factory Director Qin.
Needless to say, it was that mischievous Ah Lei again. Just thinking about how gleeful he looked made Qin Xiaoyu want to punch him.
Those who came to pick her up probably knew what Qin Xiaoyu looked like. Seeing her walk away without turning her head, they chased after her, calling out unwillingly, "Factory Director Qin? Factory Director Qin?"
"Stop yelling! Put the sign away! Let's go!" Qin Xiaoyu said angrily in a low voice. Everyone leaving the port with her focused their attention on her, making her wish she could grow wings and fly away.
It was easier to have someone pick her up. Qin Xiaoyu went straight to the No. 1 Department Store after leaving the airport. There were no direct flights back to the city, so she had to transfer to a train in the provincial capital.
She just wanted to discuss going to Shanghai with Tang Wenwen, who was the most suitable person for the trip.
She only realized why A Lei hadn't driven her himself when she was collecting her luggage at the airport. What had he brought? Besides her own suitcase, there were five extra suitcases. Judging from the clenched teeth of the person picking her up, these suitcases were quite heavy.
When she and her six suitcases stood neatly in front of the No. 1 Department Store, they were like a sight to behold, attracting the most attention.
"Manager Tang is not here, and neither is Manager Jiang." The store's response was straightforward.
Qin Xiaoyu regretted sending the car away so quickly; how was she going to get herself and all those boxes to the Jiang family compound?
I was worried that I brought too much stuff and it wouldn't be appropriate to go directly to their store, so I thought I'd store it at the counter first. Now I'm in a bind.
Two car horns sounded, and a car stopped beside her.
"elder brother?"
"Little Fish? You're back?" Qi Si jumped out of the car, and then his sister-in-law, holding Xiao Zhengxin, and his mother, holding Xiao Zichen, followed from behind.
"What is this?" Qin Xiaoyu asked, puzzled.
"Wenwen has almost finished getting the house ready for us, so we came here together to sign the contract." Qi Si said, taking Xiao Zhengxin away to make things easier for his sister-in-law.
"You're here so early, sister-in-law? How did you two run into each other?" Tang Wenwen and Jiang Fusheng walked over chatting and laughing, and when they saw them, they hurried over.
“Since you brought the child here, it’s inconvenient to stay in a hotel. Come to my house, it’s not far.” Jiang Fusheng understood everything just by looking at Tang Wenwen’s greedy gaze as she looked at Xiao Zichen.
"I don't care where we're going, get these boxes of mine out of here right now!" Qin Xiaoyu had a headache just looking at the big boxes on the ground.
"Director Qin, are you transporting landmines? Why are they so heavy?" Jiang Fusheng grimaced from exhaustion.
"Yeah, what's the deal with what you bought in Shanghai?" Tang Wenwen asked curiously.
"I...I don't know either, was it food?" Qin Xiaoyu said vaguely.
"You didn't know? Someone else gave it to you?" Tang Wenwen immediately became alert.
