Chapter 171 My Mom Transformed into a Real Rich Man After Her Divorce in the 9s (Part 10)
"Wang Qianmo, what's wrong? You don't even greet your older sister? Where's your manners? Oh, I see, your mother didn't teach you that, did she?"
Jiang Manxiang smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes.
"Hey, how can you talk like that? If people aren't going to talk to you, then don't talk to them. You're the one who has no manners."
Bai Yu, arm in arm with Wang Qianmo, frowned when she heard Jiang Manxiang's sarcastic tone.
"Who are you to talk to? What Manxiang said wasn't wrong, and she didn't say anything swearing. Why are you so concerned?"
Seeing Jiang Manxiang's expression, Deng Lixin quickly stepped forward to express her loyalty.
Jiang Manxiang smiled with satisfaction when she saw Deng Lixin speak, feeling that her gifts had finally paid off.
"Jiang Manxiang, my mother only has one daughter, me. Who do you think you are as her older sister?"
After Wang Qianmo finished speaking, she moved closer to Jiang Manxiang and whispered something.
"Also, if you continue to provoke me at university, I will tell Grandpa what you did to me."
"you dare!"
Jiang Manxiang's face was pale, but Wang Qianmo had touched on her most sensitive point. She was now genuinely afraid that her grandfather would cut off her allowance.
Because the money Jiang's father earned was not enough for Jiang Manxiang to live on, in previous years she had to use her maternal grandfather's card to maintain her wealthy lifestyle, and so did her mother, Si Yan.
Wang Qianmo gave Jiang Manxiang a provocative smile and then turned and left.
Jiang Manxiang was extremely frustrated after being humiliated by Wang Qianmo, but she didn't dare to make any rash moves.
Meanwhile, her mother, Si Yan, was attending a party hosted by wealthy women.
"Sister Siyan, I heard your clothing company is doing very well lately. Congratulations!"
"That's right, Sister Siyan, maybe you'll be the best female entrepreneur representative next year."
"Yes, yes, Sister Siyan should definitely throw a big party to celebrate."
Si Yan's lips never left her mouth as she listened to everyone's compliments.
"Alright, alright, it's just a small thing, nothing serious."
Si Yan spoke modestly, but she couldn't hide the smugness in her eyes.
"Hey, I heard that the one the Si family found also started a clothing company. Do you think she wants to follow in Si Yan's footsteps?"
At this moment, a woman in a white dress next to her asked curiously.
"Of course it is. What kind of knowledge could someone from the countryside have? They must be jealous because they saw that Sister Siyan opened a clothing company."
Another woman sitting on the sofa covered her mouth and chuckled.
"If you ask me, people should know their own limitations. If you don't have the ability, don't waste the money. You might as well donate it to charity."
The woman in purple next to Si Yan held a cup and chuckled softly.
"That's not all. You don't know, Si Yan opened a clothing factory and hired so many workers, but she only produces one kind of clothing. I heard it's an old-fashioned red sweater."
"What? Is there such a thing?"
The seated people all looked curiously at the person who spoke.
Even Si Yan raised an eyebrow in surprise. Si Yan really didn't want the company to go bankrupt fast enough.
"Ha, that's hilarious. Who wears a red sweater these days?"
Si Yan could barely suppress the smile on her lips, but she still managed to say a few words in a perfunctory manner.
"Alright, you're going too far. She's still my sister, after all. It's only right that Dad feels sorry for her. Once she can't keep the business going, she'll know that running a company isn't so easy."
Meanwhile, Si Yan was busy working away at her own pace.
"Boss, this is the latest purchase list. The wool yarn has also arrived."
Xiao Li, the purchasing manager of Si Yan's garment factory, reported on the progress of purchasing raw materials.
"Understood. There are two varieties of red sweaters in total. We must check them carefully to ensure there are no major mistakes."
Si Yan spoke up, giving instructions.
After hearing this, Xiao Li nodded repeatedly. After Si Yan left, the members of the purchasing department all gathered around.
"Manager, what is the boss thinking? Our company has been established for a month and we're only producing one style of clothing. Isn't that a bit too frivolous?"
"Exactly, the red sweater comes in both regular and wool-containing materials. That must have cost the supplier a lot of money. It pains me to see it like that."
The purchasing department staff all felt that the company's boss definitely had some kind of problem with his head, and not only they couldn't understand it, but the production workers were also extremely curious.
Do you think we can sell all these red sweaters?
Although Xiao Li didn't agree with Si Yan's decision, since the money was right, he had to applaud her even if she was wrong.
"Alright, this company belongs to Boss Si, he can do whatever he wants. You guys should go back to your workstations and get back to work."
As soon as Xiao Li finished speaking, the people in the purchasing department turned around and went back to their workstations, ceasing their discussion.
Si Yan is also planning to add some more machines, since there are only a few months left until the 1997 Spring Festival Gala, and she needs to get the goods out before the Gala to increase brand awareness.
Jiang Manxiang, who had been rebuffed by Wang Qianmo, was so angry that she went back to Si Yan to complain.
"Mom, when will your plan finally succeed? I really don't want to see Wang Qianmo again."
Jiang Manxiang hugged the pillow in her arms and pounded it hard, but she was still furious.
"Don't worry, Mom will contact him again. If it really doesn't work, Mom will give him some more money and make sure he takes Wang Qianmo away."
Si Yan said with a cold look in her eyes.
"Add more. I always said the previous thousand yuan was too little. If we had given more, Wang Qianmo would probably be in some remote mountain now."
Jiang Manxiang looked annoyed; she should have paid for it herself.
"Okay, okay, okay, Mom will definitely get it done for you this time, alright?"
Seeing Jiang Manxiang's annoyed expression, Si Yan smiled and comforted her.
Jiang Manxiang, after considering Wang Qianmo's reputation at school, said something.
"Mom, you need to plan this out carefully. I heard that Wang Qianmo has been noticed by a professor in her department. If the reason is not sufficient, I'm afraid these people won't believe it."
"Manxiang, don't worry, Mom will make sure everything is arranged properly."
Si Yan raised an eyebrow as she looked out the window. Si Yan was currently focused on the clothing factory, and if her daughter, Wang Qianmo, were to disappear at this time, things would get interesting.
Wang Qianmo's father, Wang Fangzhi, was also troubled by this matter.
"Mom, that person has come to me again."
"Who?"
Liu Shufen asked casually as she picked vegetables.
"Oh, that's the guy who gave a thousand in betrothal gifts."
Wang Fangzhi looked anxious. Thinking of that person's threat, he was like an ant on a hot pan, his heart pounding with unease.
"Didn't we return 500 yuan to him? Why don't you just return the remaining 500 yuan to him? You've made quite a bit of money lately anyway."
Liu Shufen didn't take it seriously. Lately, she kept hearing Wang Fangzhi talk to her about how much he earned today and how much he earned tomorrow, always several hundred yuan at a time. Wasn't owing that person just a small amount?
"No, I've already invested all the money I have, and it's not time for dividends yet. Where am I supposed to find the money for him?"
Wang Fangzhi said with frustration.
"What? They've all voted? That's a bit tricky now."
Liu Shufen pondered for a moment before speaking again.
“Son, I have a little over two hundred yuan here. Why don’t you ask Li Erniang for some? You’ve given her quite a bit of money over the years.”
Wang Fangzhi nodded after hearing this. He thought that he would soon have a large sum of money coming in, and he could just give a bigger share to his second aunt.
Now that the decision was made, Wang Fangzhi immediately went out to find Li Erniang.
"No way! I don't have any money."
Unexpectedly, Li Erniang rejected Wang Fangzhi as soon as he opened his mouth.
When Li Erniang heard that she was being asked for money, she became agitated.
Wang Fangzhi's face was grim, but her tone softened a bit when she thought of the man who was still waiting for her.
"Second Aunt, it's not that I don't want to pay you back. I just borrowed it for a while. I'll pay you back double when I get my share of the profits, okay?"
"really?"
Li Erniang looked at Wang Fangzhi with surprise as she held the child.
"It really couldn't be truer."
After Wang Fangzhi finished speaking, he embraced Li Erniang, who was holding the child.
"Second Aunt, we've been together for so long, don't you know what kind of person I am? Don't worry, when have I ever mistreated you? After all, my son is still with you."
After hearing this, Li Erniang nodded gently. She put the child down and went inside to get money for Wang Fangzhi.
Meanwhile, the man who had given a dowry of one thousand yuan was meeting with Si Yan.
However, Si Yan was covered up from head to toe, so this person did not know Si Yan's appearance or age.
“I’ll give you another five thousand yuan, and you must get Wang Qianmo into the deep mountains so that no one can find her for the rest of their lives.”
Si Yan lowered her voice and said fiercely.
The man was astonished upon hearing this.
"What exactly did Wang Qianmo do to offend you? Why is she willing to spend such a large sum of money?"
Ma Qiang thought to himself that such a large sum of money was enough to buy several people.
"You don't need to worry about that. I'll give you two thousand yuan first. You can contact me to collect the remaining balance after everything is done. Don't try to fool me. I have people around Wang Qianmo too."
Si Yan gave Ma Qiang a meaningful look through her sunglasses.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely complete the mission. If Wang Fangzhi doesn't cooperate, I'll just snatch him away from you."
Ma Qiang chuckled a few times. He couldn't afford to offend this money-giving woman; once he got what he wanted, he could keep asking for more money.
Si Yan smiled with satisfaction, adjusted her sunglasses, and quickly left.
Just as Si Yan left, Wang Fangzhi arrived. As the two passed by, Wang Fangzhi glanced at Si Yan curiously, as it was rare to see someone so well-covered up these days.
When Wang Fangzhi arrived at Ma Qiang's door, he knocked lightly a few times and then turned the doorknob.
As soon as he entered, he saw Ma Qiang sitting in a chair in the living room, swinging his left leg idly.
"Brother Ma, the marriage we talked about before is off. Look, I came here specifically to bring you the money."
Wang Fangzhi handed over the money and said obsequiously to Ma Qiang.
"Sigh, father-in-law, you used to call me your son-in-law, but now you call me by my name. Isn't that a bit too fast?"
As Ma Qiang spoke, he got up and walked towards Wang Fangzhi.
"Father-in-law, I heard you've made a little money recently?"
Wang Fangzhi's expression stiffened slightly, and he spoke with an unnatural look.
"Where did you hear that? It's all nonsense. My ex-wife, on the other hand, has suddenly become a rich woman, but unfortunately, she won't talk to me."
Wang Fangzhi looked regretful; part of it was feigned sympathy, and part was genuine remorse.
"Heh, father-in-law, don't blame your son-in-law for not reminding you, there's a problem with your business. You should go back and check it out as soon as possible. As for this five hundred yuan, take it first. I really like your daughter."
After Ma Qiang finished speaking, he circled around Wang Fangzhi again.
"Father-in-law, I really like your daughter. Go back and think of a better way. How about this: after it's done, I'll give you an extra 1,500 yuan, so you'll get a total of 2,000 yuan in betrothal gifts. What do you think?"
Ma Qiang said with a light laugh.
Wang Fangzhi paid no attention to what he had said before, only hearing that it was two thousand yuan.
"Okay, it's settled then. I'll definitely give you an explanation before the New Year, okay?"
Wang Fangzhi replied affirmatively.
"Yes, of course, father-in-law. Your son-in-law is here waiting for your good news."
Wang Fangzhi smiled and nodded.
Wang Fangzhi was overjoyed. With the money he had invested, he would become a millionaire once the deal was done.
But he didn't know that his smile would soon fade, because the fishermen had already packed up their nets.
Meanwhile, Si Yan is looking at the new warehouse.
"Comrade Si, this is a newly built large industrial park. Look at its size and height; it absolutely meets your requirements."
Manager Luo of the park warmly received Si Yan and her group.
Si Yan went inside and took a closer look.
"Not bad, Manager Li, let's order here. Also, once the contract is signed, the shelving I ordered can be delivered."
Si Yan nodded and gave instructions to Manager Li, the head of the procurement department of her company.
"Yes, boss, I'll arrange it right away."
Manager Li pulled Manager Luo from the park aside to sign the contract.
Si Yan was touring the factory when System Xiao Qi couldn't help but mutter a few words as she watched her leisurely demeanor.
[Host, weren't you being too hasty this time? People in China are strapped for cash right now, do you think they'd spend money to buy your sweater?]
[Xiaoqi, you have no idea how much Chinese women follow trends. This is also an opportunity for our Momo Apparel Company to increase its brand awareness.]
Xiaoqi nodded, seemingly confused.
As Si Yan's company progressed, she became thoroughly famous in Taipei's high society.
"Have you heard? I heard that the daughter that Old Master Si recently found has stockpiled hundreds of thousands of yuan worth of goods, saying she's waiting to sell them during the New Year. Do you think she's out of her mind?"
The woman who was speaking covered her mouth and laughed exaggeratedly.
"I heard about it. I was thinking that Si Yan was ambitious, but it turns out she's like this."
These women belittled Si Yan to the point of being worthless, as if they weren't the ones who had spoken well of her before.
Si Yan, on the other hand, has been extremely smug lately. Not only has Si Yan brought this upon herself, but all of her plans have been progressing smoothly.
Wang Fangzhi was in a terrible predicament because he couldn't contact his friend in Hong Kong.
"It's over, it's over!"
