Tao Xiaoxi's plan to buy land and build houses and factories in the county town was delayed for half a year because of the flood. During this period, Shang Qingyan expressed his willingness to help her, but Tao Xiaoxi politely declined because - there was no need.
She pulled out almost all the medicinal seedlings in the space and finally made the whole Mantou Village prosperous again. It takes time for the medicinal seedlings to grow, and she can't be impatient. However, Li Nanshan seems to be more and more capable. In addition to his own work, more and more people come to him privately to design houses. Even some villagers he doesn't know try to find him to design their own houses. The design fees range from tens, hundreds to thousands of yuan, and he can't finish all the designs.
Li Nanshan didn't seem to be keen on money. He gave all the money he earned to his wife. He didn't smoke and only drank occasionally, so he didn't spend much money at all. On the contrary, Tao Xiaoxi was the one who spent money lavishly. Although they suffered heavy losses that time, she didn't let the family's living standards drop.
Half a year later, construction of a house in the county town began. It was a villa that Li Nanshan designed personally after spending several months. The factory was 500 meters away from the villa.
At the same time, the eldest sister-in-law gave birth again. This time, as she wished, it was a healthy baby boy, weighing 7.8 jin (15.3 kg). He cried loudly when he was born, and the sound could be heard clearly outside the delivery room. Finally, Mr. Li and Mrs. Li showed satisfied smiles on their faces.
Tao Xiaoxi thought of Mo Yatou. She wondered where she was and how she was doing. Of course, she couldn't spoil everyone's fun at this moment, but she wasn't in the mood to celebrate with them either. She excused herself to work at the factory and went back.
The house took three months to complete, three months to refine, and another month to decorate. After another half a year, Tao Xiaoxi's villa in the county town was completed, and they moved to the county town. Beibei also registered for school in the fall and entered the best primary school in the county town.
When the factory was completed, Taoli Pharmaceutical began to formalize and scale up. As the factory director, Zhao Bin recruited 50 workers in the first batch and purchased the most advanced machinery and equipment. Shang Qingyan also came on the opening day.
"I've always wanted to see what kind of magical land nurtured a magical person like you. Today, thanks to your great deed, I finally got to see it." Shang Qingyan said with a smile.
"I hope you didn't disappoint Mr. Shang?" Tao Xiaoxi said with a smile.
Shang Qingyan was unhappy, "You are being so formal, I said I am your elder brother, what did you call me?"
"Brother Shang!" Tao Xiaoxi changed her words and called him again, and Shang Qingyan was satisfied.
However, Shang Qingyan also brought a piece of news when he came this time. Several large Chinese medicine hospitals in Hai City and Bei City are jointly recruiting suppliers, and he hopes Tao Xiaoxi will try to get them.
"Do you have any requests?" Tao Xiaoxi asked.
"Of course there are. You don't meet the first requirement."
"What do you want?"
"The company needs to be in operation for more than five years. Do you have that?" Shang Qingyan asked.
"So we are out now? Brother Shang, you must have a way, right? Otherwise you wouldn't have told me this." Tao Xiaoxi said with a smile.
"You're definitely smart." Shang Qingyan laughed. "I have an idea. Let's team up. You bid under my company's name. If you win, I'll use your medicine."
Tao Xiaoxi and Zhao Bin exchanged a glance and said, "Brother Shang, this won't be considered an illegal operation, right?"
"If I don't tell you and you don't tell me, who will know that we are not from the same company? Besides, we have real cooperation, and I have people in this area, so you can just go ahead and do it." Shang Qingyan guaranteed.
"Well, can you let us think about it before giving us an answer?" Tao Xiaoxi said.
"Okay, but time is tight. You have to give me a definite answer by tomorrow at the latest."
"Okay!" Tao Xiaoxi agreed readily.
Tao Xiaoxi and Zhao Bin discussed the matter behind closed doors. They always felt that there was something strange about it, just like what you lacked suddenly came to you, so coincidentally and smoothly.
"But Mr. Shang shouldn't have any ill intentions, right?" Zhao Bin said.
"Yeah, I think so too, but his business is complex and the group covers a wide range of areas. It's not as simple as we think. He seems to also have medical equipment agents and daily necessities companies under his umbrella. These are not areas we are familiar with."
"Then can we bid under the name of his subsidiary company, Medicinal Materials?"
"Then I might as well use your pharmacy. I chose Mr. Shang because of his group's influence."
"Then use it. Don't use someone you doubt, and don't doubt someone you use." Zhao Bin said.
Tao Xiaoxi has always been decisive, but now hesitant, just relying on his intuition.
She returned home that night and still couldn't make a decision.
After helping Beibei with her homework, Li Nanshan made some milk for Manman and coaxed her to sleep. When he came out of the room and saw his wife sitting on the sofa, he was still undecided.
"If you ask me," Li Nanshan poured a cup of hot milk, "since this matter has made you hesitate for so long, it's better not to do it."
"Do you think so too?" Tao Xiaoxi suddenly raised his head.
"I see that you have such a hard time making a decision, but if you want to do it, just do it. At worst, I can support you." Li Nanshan smiled.
"I'm very expensive." Tao Xiaoxi also laughed.
"Then I will work hard to make money."
Tao Xiaoxi put her arms around Li Nanshan's waist and said, "How about I take a risk?"
"Go ahead and do whatever you want to do."
"Li Nanshan, you are so nice." Tao Xiaoxi rubbed her face against Li Nanshan's chest.
"It was you who asked me to do what I wanted to do first, so how could I stop you from doing what you wanted to do?" Li Nanshan said in his heart.
After hesitating for so long, Tao Xiaoxi decided to give it a try, but God did not give her this opportunity.
The next day, they went to the hotel to pick up Shang Qingyan, but were told by the front desk that Shang Qingyan had checked out early in the morning.
Tao Xiaoxi was puzzled by the fact that he had checked out but hadn't contacted her or Zhao Bin. She immediately called Shang Qingyan, but the phone kept getting busy and no one answered.
"This doesn't make sense. Even if it was something urgent, they should have informed me." Zhao Bin was puzzled.
Tao Xiaoxi recalled Shang Qingyan's visit. She hadn't expected him to come, so she hadn't even sent him a formal invitation. She had only mentioned it on the phone. She hadn't expected him to come, and come on his own. When had Shang Qingyan appeared, he wasn't surrounded by people? Thinking about it this way, there was indeed a problem.
However, something even stranger happened. Bozhou suddenly stopped its orders. After Tao Xiaoxi's repeated questioning, Boss Qin finally let out the secret that there was a problem with Shang Qingyan's company, which seemed to be a tax problem and was being investigated by the tax bureau.
"If the situation is true, Mr. Shang will have to pay a huge amount of money, and the group may not be able to be saved." These were Boss Qin's exact words.
Tao Xiaoxi had never imagined things could be this serious. No wonder Mr. Shang was acting so strangely this time. So what was his purpose in coming here—to borrow money for her gloves?!
