Chapter 2301: Whatever You Say

Editor: Atlas Studios

All other kinds of trade had to face instances of bankruptcy and downturns. All kinds of businesses faced ups and downs and there was no business that would always do well.

However, there were always new students every year and there would only be more and more of them. People attached great importance to being cultured nowadays and did not want to be “an unlettered person” who could not recognize any words.

Furthermore, there were so many tasks in the wing and the country needed top-notch talents. People were focused on education and wanted to have a university student in the family! This was now something that would bring glory to their ancestors!

“You just need to be in charge of setting the questions and I’ll give you a share of the profits. It’s equivalent to you selling your copyright to me and I’ll give you a share of whatever I earn from it,” Qiao Mei said.

“No problem! Whatever you say! Whatever you say is fine!” Tang Hui said excitedly.

She was more than ready to give this venture a try. After all, Qiao Mei was smart and was already involved in many types of businesses. Those Xia siblings had all made their fortunes on Qiao Mei’s ideas, so she was definitely tempted too! Even if Qiao Mei only spared her a little bit of money, it would still be enough to last her for a long time!

Qiao Mei had taken a fancy to Tang Hui also because Tang Hui was someone who would listen to her. Moreover, Tang Hui was a sensible person and Qiao Mei always preferred to work with smart people.

However, Qiao Mei was a little unhappy at the thought that if Tang Hui made money, the family of the Xia family’s third son would benefit from it. The third son’s family had never been nice to her all this while!

Tang Hui looked at Qiao Mei’s expression and immediately understood Qiao Mei’s concerns. She immediately stood up and said firmly, “I’ll go and get a divorce now!”

“No, no, no! Who’s asking you to get a divorce? Don’t be so agitated. There’s no need to rush such things,” Qiao Mei advised.

“As long as it’s something which bothers you, I’ll get rid of it! Your third uncle gives me all his salary and I’m the one who takes care of the money in this family. Don’t worry, I’ll only give him enough money for his expenses every month. I definitely won’t give him more money than necessary!” Tang Hui said earnestly.

How could a man be more important than the opportunity to make money! Tang Hui had gotten close to Xia Guang only because of the Xia family’s status and Qiao Mei’s wealth. Now that Qiao Mei wanted to work closely with her, it did not matter even if she lost her status in the Xia family. She just needed to become someone with status in society!

“I’m actually not here because of this matter. The thing is that the eldest daughter of the second son’s family has returned from overseas. She has brought her fiancé with her and they have specially come to visit you,” Qiao Mei said.

After all, the Xia family had now split up. The third son’s family was not considered part of the Xia family anymore, but all of them still needed to be mindful of their manners. This was also the Xia family’s hint to the third son’s family. If they did not live a trouble-free life, then in the future, the Xia family would give up on everyone in the third son’s family.

“Oh! Quickly let them in! They must have waited outside for a long time!” Tang Hui immediately went outside to invite Xia Wan and Gao Long into the house and made tea with the best tea leaves she had in the house. These teas she had were all rare items. Tang Hui did not have many hobbies. She liked floral arrangements and drinking tea and was very particular about these two things.

Gao Long put down the gifts he brought onto the table and said, “We don’t know what you like. We hope you’ll accept these things.”

“You’ve spent too much. I’m sure I will like any gift from the two of you!” Tang Hui said.

After they exchanged pleasantries for a while, Qiao Mei left with Xia Wan and Gao Long. Before she left, Qiao Mei looked at Tang Hui and said, “We’ll talk about the details after you’re done with the work. Give me a call when you’re ready. I’ll get someone to make the arrangements for this matter. Don’t tell anyone about this before that.”

“I understand,” Tang Hui said.

When it came to this venture, the first mover would definitely be the one who could earn more money. Tang Hui was not a fool and naturally understood this logic.

When the group returned to the car, Xia Wan looked at Qiao Mei but seemed too embarrassed to say anything.

“Elder Cousin, if you have something to say, just say it. We’re all on the same side,” Qiao Mei said.

“This time… Auntie Zhou really didn’t come looking for trouble with the new Third Aunt-in-law. Do you think that Auntie Zhou has really turned over a new leaf?” Xia Wan asked curiously.

Qiao Mei was also very curious about this matter. Looking at Tang Hui’s behavior, it appeared that Zhou Hua had never been here before. However, given Zhou Hua’s character, she would definitely not let this matter rest. She was probably just waiting for an opportunity!

After all, she had already caused trouble once during the wedding. Even if she wanted to cause trouble again, Tang Hui would be too guarded in the short term for her to be able to do much damage.

Zhou Hua had been recuperating at home for the past few days. At Xia Guang’s wedding, she had wept too much and kicked up too big a fuss, leading to her feeling weak now. Even though she had shouted until her voice was hoarse, Xia Guang did not pay any attention to her at all. It seemed that Xia Guang really intended to cut ties with her. She had wasted those years of being his wife!

However, she still had her son with her and did not have to worry about not having anyone to support her in her old age. So long as Xia Xing was fine, she would think about other issues later! Xia Guang was already so old, so it would probably be very difficult for him to have another son.
