The road to Longcheng was still driven by Zheng Chengdao, but there was an extra person in the passenger seat, Qin Erge.
"Xiao Chuan, why does your complexion look so off? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?" Qin Gang asked his younger brother sitting behind him. "I noticed you keep covering your stomach with your hand since this morning."
"It's nothing, my stomach is just a bit uncomfortable. It's probably from drinking too much these past two days."
"You guys focus on driving, I'm going to take a nap." Qin Chuan said, then closed his eyes.
But his mind was completely clear, with no trace of sleepiness. At the same time, a stabbing pain in his dantian made it impossible for him to sleep. Damn it, if it were any man, vomiting no less than ten times in two days, even an iron man couldn't take it! There might be strong men who could achieve seven times in a night, but it certainly wouldn't be comfortable. On the night Li Ya left, the two of them, starting from four in the afternoon until late at night, had been engaged in frenzied indulgence, truly no less than seven times. Last night, the mature sister was passionately fiery, causing him to vomit three or four more times. They tossed and turned for a very, very long time, and Qin Chuan truly felt that if this continued, he might lose years off his life. He must never indulge like this again. Don't rely on youth to do as you please, otherwise, when you get a little older, you might end up directly in the ICU. No matter how much money you earn, it will be for others.
After a long journey of over six hours, the car drove into the Xiaomi factory. At this time, construction was underway on the southeast side of the Xiaomi factory, and the expansion of the building area had officially begun. On the construction site, various massive machines were working simultaneously, excavating foundations, with earth-moving trucks forming a long line. Even in the harsh winter weather, it could not stop the sharpness of the steel machines!
Qin Erge in the car saw the incredibly vast construction site and exclaimed, "Xiao Chuan, is all this factory land yours?"
Qin Chuan nodded.
"Holy crap, how many acres does this cover?" Qin Gang's eyes widened.
"Our factory used to cover a little over seven mu, which is about five thousand square meters. After this expansion, the total area will be twelve to thirteen thousand square meters, equivalent to nearly twenty mu!" Qin Chuan replied calmly.
Qin Erge was already speechless with astonishment. A land area of twenty mu, how large would the buildings be? And how much money would it cost? It would likely take tens of millions. Although he had long known that this young brother had truly soared to success, Qin Gang was experiencing it firsthand for the first time. At this moment, he had a strong urge to follow his younger brother's lead. What was the point of running a car dealership? Working hard to start his own business, he believed Qin Chuan would not mistreat him. However, this thought only flickered in his mind for a moment before being extinguished. He didn't understand management, nor did he have professional knowledge. More importantly, he loved cars, and owning a high-end car dealership was his life's goal.
The factory employees and management greeted Qin Chuan respectfully upon his return. Qin Chuan nodded in acknowledgment, went up to the second floor, knocked on the factory director's office door, and pushed it open. Inside the office, Fang Rumei was assigning tasks to two subordinates. Upon seeing Qin Chuan, her eyes lit up with surprise.
"When did you get back?" Dismissing the two subordinates with a wave, Fang Rumei moved closer and sat beside him.
"Just got back. The car came straight to the factory."
"Is everything alright back in your hometown?"
"Everything's been handled!"
"Phew, that's good. You left so suddenly that night, you really scared me!" Fang Rumei breathed a sigh of relief. "Now that you're back, I can finally relax. And you can help me share some of the burden! With the great achievements our Xiaomi factory has made, people only see our glory, but they don't know the immense pressure we're under. In the two days you were gone, I could barely sleep at night."
Qin Chuan patted Fang Rumei's shoulder to comfort her, "Relax, it's okay!"
"As leaders, we just need to manage the overall direction. We don't need to personally handle every single thing. If you do, you'll exhaust yourself. We hire so many people to help us work. If someone is responsible for something, just hold them accountable. There's no need to be soft-hearted."
After speaking, Qin Chuan stood up, preparing to leave. Just as he was about to depart, Fang Rumei's voice called out from behind him, "Qin Chuan!"
Qin Chuan turned back to see Fang Rumei's face filled with a complicated expression, as if she had something important to say. "Sister Mei, what's wrong?"
Fang Rumei's expression flickered, and finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "Don't you always want information about Xiao Mo? I... I'll tell you!"
Qin Chuan was momentarily stunned, then his face was covered with overwhelming joy. He walked directly to Fang Rumei, grabbed her shoulders, and excitedly asked, "Sister Mei, are you really willing to tell me about Xiao Mo?"
Looking at the man before her, filled with excitement and joy, Fang Rumei's expression was complex. Finally, she reached into her pocket, pulled out a slip of paper, and handed it to Qin Chuan.
"This is where Xiao Mo works!"
Qin Chuan looked down and indeed saw an address written on it.
"Sister Mei, thank you! Thank you!!" Qin Chuan excitedly hugged Fang Rumei tightly, happy as a child. Then he quickly added, "But don't worry, I'll only go after I've made all the arrangements for the factory."
Fang Rumei nodded gently. It was only long after Qin Chuan's back had disappeared that she let out a long sigh and slumped listlessly onto the sofa. In her mind, the warning An Nuo had given her two nights ago resurfaced. What she said was right; she couldn't get involved with a man like Qin Chuan, she shouldn't even have such thoughts. After all, her relationship with Yang Zimo was so good; they had grown up together, a friendship of over twenty years. If this matter were to be exposed, how could Fang Rumei face people in the future? How would her friends in the circle view her? Her current achievements were also thanks to Yang Zimo. Without Yang Zimo's introduction, perhaps the Xiaomi factory wouldn't exist today, and Fang Rumei wouldn't know what she'd be doing. Telling Qin Chuan Yang Zimo's workplace address was Fang Rumei's decision after days of intense internal conflict. She felt that only by doing this could she dispel the terrible thoughts in her heart. Especially seeing Qin Chuan's excitement upon receiving news of Yang Zimo made Fang Rumei's feelings even more complicated. This man might be a bit philandering, but he truly loved Yang Zimo. On second thought, what capable man didn't have a few women? He was so outstanding; perhaps only Yang Zimo was worthy of him. Fang Rumei never understood why someone as excellent as Yang Zimo would fancy a young man from a rural background with no connections. After interacting with Qin Chuan, Fang Rumei gradually understood. This man was truly outstanding, possessing a kind of magic that drew people in like moths to a flame...
