After seeing Zong Jiayu off, Jiang Xiaoli knocked on the door across the hall. "What were you two talking about? I'm here!"
Xu Feng pulled her to sit between them, "Your mother said you suggested we spend the New Year in Lucheng?"
She smiled and raised an eyebrow. "So, Auntie, are you tempted?"
Xu Feng smiled and nodded, "Yes, if you ask me, we should go to Lucheng on cold days and go to the mountains to escape the heat on hot days, that would be perfect!"
Xiao Jincheng complained, "According to you, it would be best if everyone just stayed home and retired instead of going to work."
Xu Feng threw a cushion at him, "Shut up!"
"Haha." Jiang Xiaoli laughed and advised, "We should earn money, but we should also relax when it's time to relax. Let's take it all into consideration and stay a few more days."
Xiao Muyu tugged at her arm, "My dad said you visited several schools when you were in Kyoto?"
"Mmm." Jiang Xiaoli nodded. "Your dream school is really right in the city center. That area is super bustling, and you can go shopping right outside your door!"
Xiao Muyu's face was flushed. "I wish I could pass the exam. I don't like shopping at all."
Xiao Jincheng asked curiously, "Little Pear, I heard your factory is doing quite well."
Jiang Xiaoli was incredibly proud. "Hehe, Uncle Xiao, guess how much net profit my little factory made last month?"
"200? 300?"
She wagged her finger at him smugly, "No, no, guess again, use your imagination."
Xiao Jincheng sat up abruptly from the single sofa. "Wow, this is really great! Let me guess, doubled, 4 million!"
"Hahaha!" Jiang Xiaoli gave him the answer directly, "It's 6.279 million!"
"Clang!" Xu Feng was so surprised that the fruit tray in her hand fell to the ground. "Xiao Li, are you serious?"
In Xu Feng's mind, Xiao Jincheng had worked hard for so many years and only earned about 10 to 20 million yuan a year. Suddenly hearing that Jiang Xiaoli had a net income of more than 6 million yuan a month, she felt like the world was turning upside down.
Xiao Jincheng helped pick up the fruit that had fallen to the ground, saying, "Look, you've scared your aunt."
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and apologized to Xu Feng, "Auntie, I'll buy you a box of the freshest fruit tomorrow to make up for it!"
Xu Feng patted her husband on the back, "Xiao Li, don't listen to his nonsense, I'm just so surprised, you're really capable!"
Li Guizhi was also quite shocked. "Xiao Li, I've only heard Xiao Zong talk about it a lot, but he didn't tell me this much."
In her opinion, the 500,000 yuan dividend from the steamed bun shop at the end of last month was already outrageously high. Who would have thought that the factory her daughter took over would earn more than 12 times the dividend from the steamed bun shop!
Jiang Xiaoli reported to everyone with a smile, "Calm down, calm down, as the market promotion area gradually expands, the food factory's income will increase!"
Xiao Jincheng smiled and nodded, "Little Pear is really good! No wonder that fat Zhao Chen has his eye on you!"
Li Guizhi frowned. "Jincheng, what do you mean by that? Who is Zhao Chen?"
Jiang Xiaoli quickly explained, "Mom, I haven't told you about this since it's all in the past. Someone wanted to buy our factory before, and Uncle Xiao helped me refuse him."
Li Guizhi's expression was still worried. "Will they cause us trouble?"
Xiao Jincheng quickly assured her, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. This Zhao Chen is my business partner's brother-in-law. He won't bother Xiao Lizi anymore. I'm here for you!"
"Oh, that's good." Li Guizhi finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his assurance.
Taking this opportunity, Jiang Xiaoli asked, "Uncle Xiao, do you know any factories that want to sell? The kind with land. My food factory doesn't have any usable factory buildings right now, and even if we build a new one, there's not much space."
Xiao Jincheng pondered for a moment, then said, "Here's the thing, I'll keep an eye out for it recently. You can also have Xiao Zong and Lao Wei look for it for you. Let's split up and act separately."
She immediately beamed, "Okay, okay, no problem, my factory has so much money it's practically overflowing!"
"Hahaha!" Xiao Jincheng laughed loudly, "No problem! I'll definitely help you find a place to spend this money!"
When Li Guizhi got home that evening, she mentioned to her daughter, "Xiao Zong gave me his share of the profits from the steamed bun shop. I decided to use that money to pay back the land debt we owed Wei Dong and the 50,000 yuan Xiao Zong owed me."
Jiang Xiaoli nodded; the daily expenses for the mother and daughter were not much.
My mother gets anxious every time she thinks about owing so much money. Since we have the money, it's better to pay it back as soon as possible.
She nodded. "I know. Now we're debt-free and carefree. Doesn't that feel much better?"
Li Guizhi patted her daughter's hand with a smile, "It really is true. After returning the money to them, I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I feel so much lighter."
Jiang Xiaoli hugged her mother and said, "Mom, now you see how much money your daughter can make. Your main task now is to eat and drink well every day, stay healthy and happy, okay?"
"Haha, all you do all day is eat and drink, what do you take your mother for!" Li Guizhi laughed.
She continued, "I seem to have grasped some of the tricks of the trade recently when I went to night school, and I'm learning much faster than when I first started."
Jiang Xiaoli gave her mother a thumbs-up exaggeratedly, "Mom, you're amazing!"
"Haha." Li Guizhi was overjoyed by her daughter's praise. "Alright, alright, you're going back to school tomorrow. Go wash up and get some rest."
On Monday morning, as soon as Jiang Xiaoli and Xiao Muyu entered the classroom, a group of people were sitting next to her.
"Jiang Shen, you've finally decided to go back to school!"
"Jiang Xiaoli, where have you been playing?"
