Seeing Li Ya's cold and beautiful face before him, Qin Chuan was very happy.
During this time, he was busy dealing with Han Shifei while preparing for the supermarket opening, so he basically didn't get involved with the clothing factory.
Gradually, Li Ya regained her former formidable demeanor, a situation that Qin Chuan found very comforting.
Humans, most of the time, are dependent. If someone in a team is stronger than you and is someone you trust, you will subconsciously become lazy and lose your drive.
Qin Chuan, realizing this, deliberately stayed away from the clothing factory matters during this period, which pleased him greatly. Li Ya quickly regained her former formidable aura.
This was the kind of woman he liked!
"Not yet!"
"But, call the factory's lawyers and have them ready at any time!"
Qin Chuan said.
He had never thought that such a trivial matter could bring down Han Shifei, but if it caused Han Shifei a lot of trouble and annoyance, that was definitely something he would be happy to see.
Li Ya nodded, indicating she understood.
While they were talking, others were busily unloading goods from the light trucks onto the dump trucks. This load of fruits and vegetables had been delayed for too long, and the supermarket staff were anxiously waiting.
With more people, the work went faster. The entire truckload of fruits and vegetables was transferred to the dump trucks in less than half an hour.
Since he wasn't sure how long the Ning County police station would take to handle the matter, Qin Chuan asked Li Ya to go back with him.
There was nothing more to be done here, and having more people wouldn't help. It all depended on the police's decision.
They could only leave when they were told to!
At the same time, Qin Chuan wasn't worried that Han Shifei would dare to cause any more trouble during this critical period. He felt safe even if he were alone here.
The only regret was that he might miss the supermarket opening tomorrow. However, everything had been arranged, and Qin Chuan felt the supermarket could open smoothly even without him.
The fact that he and Han Shifei were both stuck here was actually a good thing for the supermarket's opening.
The supermarket could open without him, but with Han Shifei absent, their biggest potential problem was removed.
"Xiao Chuan, you probably don't know yet, but our clothing factory's branch store in Ning County is about to be renovated and will be put into use soon! I'll probably have to stay for several days this time, until the branch store opens successfully!"
Li Ya said to Qin Chuan.
"The branch store is progressing that fast?"
Qin Chuan was genuinely surprised.
"You've been focusing all your energy on the buildings and the supermarket these days, so where would you have the spare time to manage the clothing factory matters!"
Li Ya had a resentful look on her face, as if an unreliable man had cheated on her with another woman, leaving the mistress of the house sadly disheartened.
Qin Chuan immediately gave a wry smile and rubbed his head, saying awkwardly, "Isn't it because you're here to manage the clothing factory?"
"That's why I'm so at ease!"
"Hmph, I wouldn't believe you!"
To his surprise, Li Ya didn't buy it. She mumbled in a low voice, "To you, Butterfly Clothing Factory is like a child raised by a stepmother, not as loved. The buildings and the supermarket are your own biological children!"
"Sister, there are so many people here, don't make a scene!"
Qin Chuan was completely at a loss. He wanted Li Ya to be independent and regain her former formidable demeanor, but she misunderstood him, thinking he didn't care about the Butterfly Clothing Factory as much as the buildings and supermarket he created himself.
What was this all about!
All three businesses were making him money, so what was the difference between biological children and stepchildren? The thinking of women was truly terrifying.
Li Ya also noticed that many people around were whispering. Considering the inappropriate occasion, she turned away and stopped talking to him.
"Well then... Yao Dong, tell four of your brothers to go back! Just you stay here!"
Qin Chuan said to Yao Dong. "Tomorrow is our supermarket's opening day. There's nothing major happening here, so let the brothers go back and help maintain order for the opening tomorrow!"
Yao Dong nodded and told four of his brothers to get in the car.
"Boss, Boss's wife, we'll be leaving now!"
Bai Xiaoguang waved to Qin Chuan and Li Ya from the car. The dump truck rumbled away quickly with the roar of the engine.
This scene was seen by Han Shifei and his group standing in the courtyard, who immediately ran in to report to Zhang Wenbo.
Qin Chuan happened to see it but couldn't be bothered to pay attention.
"Yao Dong, there's a hotel across the street. Book two rooms, we're staying here tonight!"
Qin Chuan suddenly said, then took out a hundred yuan bill and handed it over.
Yao Dong immediately scurried off to book the rooms.
"Sister, weren't you going to check on the branch store? There's nothing else happening here, so you should go!"
Qin Chuan said to Li Ya again.
"And you?"
Li Ya asked.
"Me?"
Qin Chuan pointed to himself, then to the police station, and said with a wry smile, "How would I know when they'll call me? Feng Lei and I can only stay here for now!"
This was also a drawback. While calling the police to detain Han Shifei, they also temporarily lost their freedom.
But for the sake of future smoothness, a little inconvenience was nothing. They would endure it!
"Alright then, call me if you need anything."
Li Ya extended her fair and tender hand. Qin Chuan handed her the car keys, and Li Ya drove away.
"Boss Qin, is she your girlfriend?"
Watching Li Ya drive away elegantly, Feng Lei suddenly leaned over, his face full of curiosity.
"Yes, she's my girlfriend."
Qin Chuan nodded.
Feng Lei gave him a thumbs-up, his face filled with admiration, "Amazing! You guys are truly a model for young people today. At such a young age, you each have your own careers, and one is handsome while the other is beautiful. You truly look like a perfect match!"
"Haha!!"
Qin Chuan was amused by Feng Lei's flattery, "Brother Lei, you speak so nicely. Keep it up, I like hearing things like that."
As time went by, night gradually fell, and Han Shifei still hadn't been released.
Qin Chuan finally lost his patience. He walked into the police station and found Officer Zhao, quietly asking what was going on, as waiting like this was not a solution!
Han Shifei was indeed inside, but what was the difference between him waiting outside and Han Shifei being there?
Officer Zhao smiled when he heard that Qin Chuan had been waiting outside all afternoon.
"Boss Qin, you're a big boss, how can you not understand the law!"
"For such major cases, they won't be released if the summons or detention period is less than twelve hours."
"What the hell, really?"
Qin Chuan had never heard such an explanation before and was completely taken aback.
In his past life, he had never paid attention to such matters, so he truly didn't know about these police station rules.
"What a loss! If I had known, I would have gone to the hotel across the street to sleep, or gone sightseeing with my girlfriend in Ning County."
Qin Chuan rubbed his temples in great frustration.
"It's not too late to go now!"
Thanks to their collaboration in apprehending the criminal that morning, Officer Zhao had a good impression of Qin Chuan. After this meritorious service, he was likely to be promoted to deputy team leader.
"It's only been about five hours since that Han Shifei went in, and he's still a long way from being released!"
"How about this, let's exchange phone numbers. I'll call you if anything comes up."
Officer Zhao said.
"That would be fantastic!"
Qin Chuan was overjoyed, "Thank you, Brother Zhao!"
