Wei Mingyuan has been on unpaid leave this year. His superiors are not very satisfied with his performance, but he has no choice but to keep his position for the money. After that, he went to sell medical equipment with Qiao Shanshan.
Medical devices are a lucrative business, and Wei Mingyuan was lucky. By using the name of Luxembourg Instruments, money flowed into his hands like water.
Wei Mingyuan quickly earned his first 500,000 yuan, followed by 1 million, then 1.5 million. By June, Wei Mingyuan and Qiao Shanshan had 2 million yuan in assets. They had a lot of money, and Wei Mingyuan bought himself a Mercedes-Benz.
The car at home was bought by Qiao Shanshan. It's a red Mercedes, clearly a woman's car. Every time Wei Mingyuan drives this car, he feels that people are mocking him for making money off a woman.
After Wei Mingyuan made his fortune, the first thing he did was buy a black car. The car was low-key and unassuming, but people could tell at a glance that it was a Mercedes-Benz, that it was driven by Boss Wei, and that it was expensive.
Wei Mingyuan was quite happy. After buying the car, he and Qiao Shanshan cooked a table full of dishes, drank some wine, and chatted, becoming happier and happier as they talked.
Qiao Shanshan was surprised that Wei Mingyuan's business was going so smoothly. She thought Wei Mingyuan was not very capable and knew nothing but bragging. She also thought that Wei Mingyuan might soon encounter setbacks and come to her to complain that making money was not easy.
However, Wei Mingyuan not only made money, but he also made more than Qiao Shanshan. Qiao Shanshan was heavily pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to handle external affairs, so Wei Mingyuan did all the work. Wei Mingyuan gradually took over the business from her and gained control of the business.
Qiao Shanshan sometimes felt uneasy, but with her belly so big, it was indeed inconvenient for her to go out and do business. Men always find it easier to do business over drinks. Sometimes the hospital leaders would make things difficult for Qiao Shanshan, but after Wei Mingyuan gave her cigarettes and alcohol and had a meal with her once, their attitude changed completely, and the two even became like brothers.
Moreover, Wei Mingyuan also has the advantages of his position. Even if his position is not particularly high, he is still a member of the team. Many business people want to use his connections. Wei Mingyuan acts as a go-between for them, and they want to give him benefits in return.
Over time, Wei Mingyuan also built up a considerable network of connections.
In June, the weather gradually got warmer, and Qiao Shanshan's belly grew bigger. She stood on the balcony, watching Chu Yu go out for a walk, and frowned. Chu Yu was clearly pregnant with twins, and normally twins would have very big bellies. At this stage of her pregnancy, Chu Yu was having difficulty walking.
But she still looks slender with no signs of aging. Pregnancy didn't make her ugly; on the contrary, it made her more beautiful. On the other hand, Qiao Shanshan has recently relaxed her standards and often eats bread and sweets, gaining 60 pounds. Now she's round like a ball, and you can't see her former beauty at all.
Qiao Shanshan was a little unhappy, "She really has two children in her belly? I can't tell."
Yuanyuan didn't understand her implied meaning, and pouted, saying, "Aunt Zhou has two babies in her belly. Yuanyuan saw them, and they greeted Yuanyuan."
Qiao Shanshan was taken aback. Yuanyuan had been in the family for quite some time and had grown up a lot. Qiao Shanshan used to like Yuanyuan very much, but now the more she looked at Yuanyuan, the more she disliked her.
Qiao Shanshan felt that Yuanyuan couldn't read her expression. She was clearly unhappy, but Yuanyuan didn't understand at all and said things that made her unhappy.
Since Qiao Shanshan became pregnant, Yuanyuan has felt insecure and often clings to Qiao Shanshan. Qiao Shanshan used to take care of her, but now she doesn't want to at all. Pregnancy is tiring enough, and she also has to take care of a child. How can Qiao Shanshan manage?
"Yuanyuan, did you pick up the mung beans when Mom asked you to?" Qiao Shanshan frowned.
Yuanyuan blinked. "I've picked them all out. Yuanyuan is a good girl. She picked the mung beans out of the black beans. Mommy will praise Yuanyuan."
Qiao Shanshan walked to the bag expressionlessly, poured the mung beans back into the black beans, and then poured in the red beans.
"Alright, keep picking them up. Separate the three kinds of beans properly. You're not allowed to eat until you've sorted them all. If you don't sort them properly, Mommy won't want you anymore!"
Every time Qiao Shanshan said something like that, Yuanyuan would obediently listen.
Yuan Yuan stared wide-eyed, not understanding why her mother was unhappy, but Yuan Yuan was a good girl and wanted her mother to be happy.
Yuanyuan sat on the ground with a small stool, pinching mung beans one by one and putting them into her pocket. Then she pinched black beans. Yuanyuan was very focused on pinching them. She hoped that her mother would be happy. Her mother did not know that Yuanyuan loved her mother the most, but after her younger brother was born, her mother was often impatient with Yuanyuan and did not buy her little dresses or delicious food like before.
Qiao Shanshan finally breathed a sigh of relief after sending Yuanyuan away.
To be honest, Yuanyuan is very well-behaved, but Qiao Shanshan just feels that the older Yuanyuan gets, the less she resembles herself.
It's already difficult for a pregnant woman to take care of a child, and with another child clinging to her, Qiao Shanshan is under a lot of pressure. She gets impatient easily when she sees Yuanyuan. There's also something else that makes Qiao Shanshan angry: last night, Qiao Shanshan saw a red lipstick stain on Wei Mingyuan's shirt.
The lipstick mark is very clear, and it wasn't deliberately wiped on; it looks like a provocation.
Qiao Shanshan began to suspect Wei Mingyuan.
When a man is unfaithful, a woman is more likely to become suspicious. Qiao Shanshan wanted to get angry, but she had no evidence. Besides, she was pregnant for ten months and couldn't possibly stay with Wei Mingyuan. Wei Mingyuan had been getting busier and busier lately, always drinking and socializing. It wasn't that drinking was bad, after all, he brought money home every day.
But sometimes, Qiao Shanshan wondered, what's the use of making so much money? If a man doesn't come home, his heart isn't with her. Even if he doesn't cheat now, he'll cheat sooner or later. Qiao Shanshan regretted handing the business over to Wei Mingyuan.
