With Qin Chuan's exquisite persuasive skills and a series of strategic moves and promises, Ye Meiyun eventually agreed.
There was nothing she could do if she didn't agree; it was a done deal. Dwelling on it further would only harm their relationship, which was a net loss.
Ye Meiyun was now extremely confident in Qin Chuan's abilities. Since he said he would relocate the entire Xinhua Electronics Factory to the provincial capital later, it was indeed very possible.
If they could truly develop in the provincial capital, Ye Meiyun would be very willing.
The provincial capital had abundant resources, far superior to Yongnan County in terms of business atmosphere, opportunities, transportation, and infrastructure.
It was also close to the capital, allowing her to visit home and see her children anytime, with many benefits.
The only downside was that with Qin Chuan, Xu Ronghua, and Li Chunsheng launching new projects, her workload at Xinhua Electronics Factory would increase significantly.
After bidding farewell to Ye Meiyun, Qin Chuan rushed to Butterfly Apparel Factory and met Li Ya.
With such a large project as MP3s, and its relevance to future business strategies, with business gradually shifting from Yongnan County to the provincial capital, Qin Chuan naturally had to inform Li Ya, his partner and girlfriend.
As expected, Li Ya showed great surprise upon hearing the news, her beautiful eyes fixed on Qin Chuan.
"What's wrong? Is there something I'm doing that's not right?" Qin Chuan asked, a little puzzled.
Li Ya shook her head, reached out to gently caress his increasingly charming facial features, and said softly, "No, I'm just reflecting. More than a year ago, you were still a penniless young man, desperately trying to earn money for medical expenses by recommending yourself."
"Now, in the blink of an eye, you're already planning to expand your business to a big city like the provincial capital, and even going abroad."
"Xiao Chuan, you're moving so fast, I'm worried I won't be able to keep up with you."
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan grinned and held Li Ya's small hand.
"Sister, I'm working so hard, isn't it all for our future? The more I earn, the better it will be for us."
Li Ya fell silent, thinking to herself, "That's not necessarily true!"
The richer a man becomes, the more beautiful but treacherous women will surround him, like bees flocking to a flower.
This was definitely not a good thing.
"Xiao Chuan, why don't I just sell the apparel factory? You need a secretary now, I can be your full-time secretary by your side!" Li Ya suddenly said.
Qin Chuan was startled. "Sister, why would you suddenly have such an idea?"
"Butterfly Apparel Factory is the culmination of two generations of your Li family's hard work. You've put so much into this factory, can you bear to sell it?"
Li Ya gave a wry smile. "I was just joking!"
"Phew, you scared me to death!" Qin Chuan clutched his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
He wasn't faking it; he was genuinely frightened.
If Li Ya really chose to sell the apparel factory and become his full-time secretary, how could Qin Chuan continue his secret rendezvous with Ms. Yang? All his little secrets would be exposed.
"You just said that you're back mainly to handle your passport and visa, and might even go abroad."
"Then what about your birthday? It's less than ten days away!" Li Ya immediately thought of another problem.
Qin Chuan was nonchalant. "Who knows? We'll see how it goes. If I'm really going abroad by then, it doesn't matter if I celebrate my birthday or not!"
"I'm not a child who cares so much about birthdays."
If possible, Qin Chuan would prefer never to celebrate his birthday again. For a scumbag like him, it was the most stressful day of the year.
Li Ya appeared somewhat disappointed to learn that her birthday might not be celebrated.
Then she added, "We can't get passports in this county town; we need to go to Pingyang City. How about this, I'll accompany you to handle these things, I'm familiar with them."
"Okay, we'll set off for Pingyang City early tomorrow morning. This time, I might be away for a long time. I also need to go to the real estate development site one more time to arrange everything, and then inform my parents."
Qin Chuan nodded, then kissed Li Ya on the lips and turned to leave.
Watching Qin Chuan drive away, Li Ya's beautiful face showed a multitude of emotions.
Although she had long expected that Qin Chuan's business would eventually grow big and he would gradually leave Yongnan County to develop in a larger city, she hadn't expected this day to arrive so quickly, catching her completely off guard.
Qin Chuan's rapid development instilled a strong sense of crisis in Li Ya.
If they had remained in Yongnan County, it wouldn't have been a big issue. Li Ya was confident in her looks, figure, and abilities.
However, big cities were completely different. They were filled with more temptations and desires, with beautiful and capable women everywhere. She feared that one day, Qin Chuan might find someone new and leave her.
"It seems I also need to make new plans for my career."
"At the very least, I must keep pace with Xiao Chuan's steps!" Li Ya silently resolved, watching Qin Chuan's car disappear into the distance.
Qin Chuan arrived at the real estate development site and immediately called everyone for a meeting.
Upon learning that Qin Chuan had found a new development project in the provincial capital recently, and that his main focus would gradually shift there, everyone was equally surprised.
"Xiao Chuan, if you go to the provincial capital to develop, what about here?" Qin Yang asked anxiously.
"Everything will continue as usual!" Qin Chuan said with a smile.
"I know what you're all worried about. Don't worry, in the short term, the MP3 project is just one project, a stepping stone."
"Although I will temporarily focus my attention there, we will continue with what we should be doing here; everything remains the same."
"The real estate development will continue, as will the renovation company, the electronics factory, the supermarket, and so on."
Qin Chuan paused here, scanning everyone's faces.
"We've worked hard to build these businesses. Why would we give them up just like that? That would be foolish!"
"I still need these businesses to continue making money for me and provide a steady stream of funds to help me develop new ventures."
"The only difference is that I will likely be traveling between the provincial capital and here in the future. When I'm not around, you all must diligently perform your duties and help me manage everything."
"I ask you all, can you manage all these businesses when I'm not here?" Qin Chuan suddenly asked loudly.
Everyone was taken aback, and then their faces showed unwavering determination.
"Boss, don't worry, we can definitely do it. It will be the same whether you're here or not." Bai Xiaoguang was the first to pledge.
"Of course!" Yao Dong chimed in immediately, then added, "But Boss, your sudden move to the provincial capital for new projects makes all of us very sad."
"And you'll be alone there with no one to accompany you, isn't that a bit unsafe? How about I go with you?"
