1312 Discover the Problem
“In her current condition, can she hold on until she gets home?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.

In Qiao Mei’s opinion, Liang Shu seemed very seriously ill. It already looked as if a strong gust of wind could break all her bones. How could such a person still be able to travel around?

“No, not at this moment. It’s too risky for her to leave the hospital now. It’s best not to move an elderly patient unnecessarily, unless there’s a private doctor who can take care of the patient 24 hours a day. Otherwise, we don’t recommend that the patient be discharged,” the nurse advised.

“Alright, I understand,” Qiao Mei said.

After the nurse left, Qiao Mei stood outside the door and quietly looked at Liang Shu through the glass panel. She recalled that Qiao Qiang had mentioned Liang Shu before.

Liang Shu sounded like a person who wanted to win in everything. Moreover, she did not have any morals to speak of. Anyone who obstructed her path would be kicked away mercilessly. Nothing could faze her.

For such a person to end up in such a state, she must be in agony.

Qiao Mei did not give the medicine wine to Liang Shu. She still wanted Liang Shu to suffer for a while longer and did not want to give her a way out so easily. Qiao Mei knew that the Liang family would definitely come looking for her. She just had to wait quietly for that day to come.

The Spring Festival holiday period ended in a flash and life returned to normal. Qian’e filled up her schedule every day and she even made popcorn during the holiday break. When Zhao Fei came to the corn courtyard house on the first working day after the holidays, he thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him.

It looked as if there was a small mountain in front of him! There must be at least 500 pounds of popcorn here, filling up the entire house.

“Heavens… How long did it take you to make all these…” Zhao Fei lamented in shock.

“Not too long. I had nothing to do anyway, so I came over to make popcorn. As time passed, the amount of popcorn just kept accumulating. Can you move everything by yourself?” Qian’e asked.

“Yes, I can, but I can’t fit everything in my car at one go. How about this, I’ll take 150 pounds today and for the rest, I’ll just take some every day. That should do,” Zhao Fei said.

“Alright, then I’ll leave you to it,” Qian’e said.

After a few days, Qian’e discovered an inherent issue in their business dealings. When she saw that Qiao Mei had some free time, she quickly went to discuss countermeasures.

“Qiao Mei, did you sign any contract with Zhao Fei?” Qian’e asked.

“No. Did something happen?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.
Qian’e brought over a stool and sat down as she said, “I’ve recently discovered something. It’s not about Zhao Fei, but the two people he has with him. They don’t look like decent people and are very sneaky. Moreover, they aren’t very honest. They speak aggressively and can even be quite insulting sometimes.”

The two people whom Qian’e was talking about were Zhao Fei’s younger brothers, but they were not his biological younger brothers. His parents had already passed away and these two men were the sons of the uncle who adopted him. Their names were Zhao Kun and Zhao Kai.

Kinship was not particularly important to Zhao Fei, but it was inevitable that he would fall sick sometimes. During such times, he needed his family to take care of him. This uncle of his took on the caregiving role at such moments. Although he and his family were simply after Zhao Fei’s money, at least they were also willing to take care of him.

Recently, whenever Zhao Fei could not transport the goods by himself, he would ask these two younger brothers to come and help out. Zhao Fei did not let them enter the courtyard, so they would just stand at the door. She had once overheard Zhao Kai say something vulgar to Zhao Kun as he commented on her figure in detail. Those things he said were really unbearable for her to hear.

“I’ve never really noticed this matter. Let me talk to Zhao Fei about it,” Qiao Mei said seriously.

“But haven’t we given him the right to be an ‘exclusive agent’? Will it be detrimental if we fall out with him?” Qian’e said worriedly.

“We have never signed any contract. Since we can give him the right, then we can naturally take it back. If he doesn’t keep his word, then we won’t do business with him anymore,” Qiao Mei said casually.

Since she could grant him the right to be an “exclusive agent”, then she could also revoke it. If Zhao Fei was unable to control his subordinates, there were still many other people who wanted to collaborate with Qiao Mei.

There was no contract in place, so it was all up to Qiao Mei. Furthermore, she still had Xia Wen’s backing if it involved the authorities! She could be as willful as she wanted!
