Wang Xiaoqiang pursed his lips and said, "Cut it out, Sister Ping, Qiao Zhi does look pretty sharp, but that haughty air of hers is really not my cup of tea. Please never bring this up again..."

"Oh, I was just speaking off the top of my head. Look how tense you got," Zhong Ping said, not only unoffended but actually bursting into laughter.

"Little Qiang, go to the bank and deposit the check after you cash it," Zhong Ping reminded him. "It's no small sum after all, and it's ultimately not safe to carry it around."

"I'll do as you say, I'm going to deposit it right now," Wang Xiaoqiang grinned foolishly.

"Go ahead, and come back here for lunch," Zhong Ping nodded, her face full of anticipation.

"No, Sister Ping, I need to get back," Wang Xiaoqiang said.

"Ah, alright then, see you next time," Zhong Ping said, slightly downcast.

"Oh, Sister Ping, my villa in the countryside is almost done with the renovations. Why don't you come and stay for a while?"

"Sure, I'll definitely come," Zhong Ping laughed delightedly.

After Wang Xiaoqiang deposited the money in the bank by taxi, setting aside funds for constructing the vegetable base, orchard, villa, and office building, he still had over forty million in his account.

When Wang Xiaoqiang went to fetch a car from Xia Mi, he instructed her to develop clients in Zhucheng—a city not far from the Provincial Capital and an emerging city where all the province's focus on economic development currently lies. Zhucheng is in a period of vigorous development, with its living standards rising yearly and now having caught up with the Provincial Capital.

Some predict it will become the next Shenzhen.

"Boss, take me to see our company?" Xia Mi pleaded.

"Of course, let's go now!" Wang Xiaoqiang said. "From now on, this small truck is yours to use when you make sales runs..."

"Boss, are you giving it to me?" Xia Mi blinked her beautiful, large eyes and smiled.

"Keep dreaming," Wang Xiaoqiang shot her a look. "The truck belongs to the company. It's assigned to you for use, not given to you..."

"Ugh, stingy much? It's just a small truck, not a BMW or a Mercedes. I wouldn't take it even if you gave it to me..." Xia Mi rolled her eyes.

"Alright, be serious, especially when you're at the company. You need to be more solemn, don't give my girlfriend any reasons to be suspicious..." Wang Xiaoqiang said seriously.

"Huh? Boss, how many girlfriends do you have anyway? Xu Qingxue is one, then yesterday another sister popped up, and now you have another one at home..."

"Alright, that's none of your business. Remember, be more professional," Wang Xiaoqiang said, clearly annoyed.

"I'm already quite professional," Xia Mi said with a look of grievance.

Wang Xiaoqiang first took Xia Mi to the vegetable base and introduced her to the manager, Zhu Erpeng,

Zhu Erpeng, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly bringing in a salesperson, while somewhat doubtful about her relationship with Wang Xiaoqiang, naturally didn't pry as it wasn't his business to meddle. He was very polite and courteous to Xia Mi.

Zhu Erpeng briefed them on the general situation of the greenhouses and their current output. After exchanging phone numbers. Wang Xiaoqiang then took Xia Mi to the orchard.

Upon seeing Wang Xiaoqiang bringing such a beautiful woman back, Xia Sanwa's heart immediately began to race. However, his worries slightly eased when Wang Xiaoqiang introduced Xia Mi merely as a newly recruited salesperson. Xia Sanwa shook hands with her and quietly said to her, "Salesperson Xia, I'm not only the manager of the orchard but also Little Qiang's future father-in-law..."

He then smiled meaningfully at Xia Mi.

Xia Mi, taken aback, smiled back.

Then, Wang Xiaoqiang took Xia Mi to Mantou Mountain and introduced her to Xia Guifang. Although Xia Guifang had a better demeanor than her father Xia Sanwa, as Wang Xiaoqiang's girlfriend, she couldn't help but feel cautious upon seeing him bring back such a beautiful woman,

In fact, during the grand opening, seeing so many women supporting Wang Xiaoqiang and realizing how popular he was with women had made her uneasy. However, she hadn't seen those women return afterwards.

Knowing Xia Guifang would be jealous, but with things having come this far, he had no choice but to make the introductions, "Xia Mi, this is the assistant manager of our Chicken Farm and also my girlfriend, Xia Guifang. Guifang, this is Xia Mi, a salesperson we've just hired. I hope you can cooperate with each other at work."

Although Xia Guifang was not thrilled internally, she still managed to keep a smile and reached out for a handshake, "Hello Xia Mi, we are colleagues now..."

"Hello, hello, Boss Wang, your girlfriend is really beautiful!" Xia Mi held Xia Guifang's hand and complimented her.

"That's right!" Wang Xiaoqiang said proudly.

Xia Guifang rolled her eyes at Wang Xiaoqiang, but feeling relieved and simultaneously a bit sweetened since Wang Xiaoqiang had clarified his relationship with Xia Mi to her. He assured there was nothing between him and Xia Mi, and even complimented her in front of Xia Mi.

After Xia Mi toured the Chicken Farm and asked Xia Guifang about its output. Wang Xiaoqiang then took her to the office building for a tour.

As the office building was still being renovated, there wasn't much to see. After making a round, Xia Mi drove off in the small truck.

Next, she would be off to Zhucheng to develop high-end clients.

Before leaving, Wang Xiaoqiang instructed her to pay attention to safety and not to compromise on the quality or price of the company's products. Deliberate flattery, such as hosting meals, was acceptable, but anything like accompanying drinks was absolutely off the table.

He would rather not cooperate than compromise.

Wang Xiaoqiang's words deeply moved Xia Mi and strengthened her resolve to continue working under him and excel in sales.

The villa and the office building, along with the three-story house at home, were soon completely decorated; Wang Xiaoqiang used the finest materials. Needless to say about the villa and the three-story house, the office building's decor was also of the same standard as those in the Provincial Capital.

After the office building was completed, Wang Xiaoqiang, along with four of the company's mid-level managers, toured and arranged their workplaces.

Wang Xiaoqiang took the largest office on the third floor for himself, and Xia Guifang's office was directly opposite his. However, this was merely a formality, as Xia Guifang had to look after the Chicken Farm.

It was estimated that this office would be for show, but Wang Xiaoqiang still provided it; a deputy plant manager must have an office as a symbol of authority and as a representation of the company's image.

Although Liu Juyi firmly declined having an office, Wang Xiaoqiang still assigned one to her to avoid favoritism. He treated everyone equally.

Xia Sanwa and Zhu Erpeng's offices were on the second floor, a bit smaller, but it still made both of them exceedingly happy, especially Xia Sanwa, who, on the very day, paced back and forth in his office with hands behind his back and refused to leave.

Next, office supplies were purchased, and the office building gradually took on a professional appearance.

After the villa and the three-story house were decorated, Wang Xiaoqiang furnished them with high-end furniture, buying two sets, one for the house and one for the villa.

Sister Liu Juyi still lived in the house, and after moving into the new place, the family was very happy.

Wang Xiaoqiang then moved into the villa. The garden in front of the villa was planted with various types of flowers and evergreens. The garden was quite big, featuring a round table and two chairs. Several French sycamore trees were planted around the periphery of the villa. Near the garden's pond, after adding clean water, Wang Xiaoqiang intended to raise ornamental fish.

Not only for the pleasing view but also as a potential source of income.

One day, Wang Xiaoqiang called Xia Guifang to the villa and invited her to sit at the garden's round table and asked, "Little Fang, do you like the villa?"

Xia Mifang looked around the villa's surroundings, her eyes gleaming. Busy with the work at the Chicken Farm, Xia Guifang had not come down from the mountain for a long time. This was her first time seeing the newly decorated villa, and she internally admired it, but chided with pretend annoyance, "Little Qiang, you really know how to spend money. This villa must have cost quite a bit, right?"

"You should say I know how to enjoy life," Wang Xiaoqiang replied leisurely.

As he spoke, Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly grabbed Xia Guifang's hand and said, "Little Fang, why don't you move in and live here?"

Xia Guifang grasped Wang Xiaoqiang's hand in return, "Do you really want me to move in?"

"Really, you can move in tonight…" Wang Xiaoqiang said eagerly.

"What's the rush?" Xia Guifang gave Wang Xiaoqiang a coquettish look, "Let's wait another week…"

"Why wait another week, can't it be now?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked with a disappointed look.

"I, I just started my period, it'll take a few days to end…" Xia Guifang said, looking down, her cheeks blushing.

"Ah, what bad timing," Wang Xiaoqiang sighed despondently, then said, "Then move in after a week?"

"Mmm…" Xia Guifang murmured almost inaudibly, her head even lower, her cheeks redder.

Xia Guifang went back up to Mantou Mountain, and not long after she left, Li Xianghong arrived.

"Finished with work?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked.

"Finished," Li Xianghong said nonchalantly, her peach blossom eyes surveying the surroundings. Now that a new person was assigned to the Chicken Farm, Li Xianghong had become more relaxed, having the chance to come down the mountain for a stroll.

"Little Fang just went back up the mountain, you two didn't run into each other…" Wang Xiaoqiang asked, seemingly casual.

"No, I intentionally didn't walk the same path as her," Li Xianghong said, ensuring no one was near before sitting at the table. Her peach blossom eyes fixed on Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang looked Li Xianghong up and down. He noticed that she had just showered, her damp hair casually draped over her voluptuous, fair shoulders, wearing a white dress with floral patterns, and exuding a mature woman's distinct fragrance.

Seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't stop staring, Li Xianghong slipped her foot out of her slipper under the table and gently rubbed it against Wang Xiaoqiang's leg. Her eyes brimming with allure, "Hey, I haven't seen your villa yet, aren't you going to invite me in?"

"Do I still need to invite you? You can come anytime!"

Li Xianghong forcefully shook off Wang Xiaoqiang's hand, then put on her slippers and strolled towards the villa on her own. Her waist swayed seductively, creating an endless allure.

Watching her sensually swaying waist, Wang Xiaoqiang grinned mischievously, then glanced around to see if anyone was looking, and followed her back to the villa.

In the living room of the villa, he didn't see Li Xianghong.

Wang Xiaoqiang then went straight to the master bedroom.

Sure enough, Li Xianghong was lying on the bed in the master bedroom. (To be continued. If you like this book, please come to Qidian to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
