"Little Qiang, where have you been?" When Wang Xiaoqiang walked back to the villa, Zheng Shuang was sitting at the stone table in the villa's garden, her beautiful eyes suspiciously staring at Wang Xiaoqiang as she asked.
"I was working!" Wang Xiaoqiang casually brushed it off and walked to the table, sitting down opposite Zheng Shuang.
Zheng Shuang still sported a bob cut, her face free of makeup, a natural beauty in a pair of denim shorts, her long legs crossed, a white shirt on the top,
Capable, refreshing, sexy...
It was a comforting sight.
"What kind of work requires the big boss himself to get personally involved?" Zheng Shuang asked with interest, still fixating on Wang Xiaoqiang. "You didn't actually go do something bad, did you..."
"Cough cough, joking with your little uncle like this, you're not showing respect..." Seeing that the girl was not going to let it go, Wang Xiaoqiang had to use his seniority to press her.
"Cut it out, what little uncle, don't use that to make a point..." Zheng Shuang rolled her eyes at Wang Xiaoqiang, dismissive.
"Hey, what did you want to see me for today?"
"Can't I come see you if there's nothing going on?" Zheng Shuang stood up, turned her head to glance at the villa. "Aren't you going to invite me inside for a sit?"
"Don't just talk about sitting inside, even if it's lying down on the bed, you're welcome to do so... hehe..." Wang Xiaoqiang smirked.
"I've discovered you're getting worse and worse, always looking for the next dish while eating from the bowl..." Zheng Shuang said, giving Wang Xiaoqiang a playful glare.
"No way, I was just joking, you really think of yourself as that 'dish'..."
Realizing that her previous remark was a bit reckless, Zheng Shuang's cheeks reddened slightly... "I, I was also joking..."
"Alright, Miss Zheng, let's stop joking around here, if we are to continue, it should be inside the house..." Wang Xiaoqiang gestured invitingly to Zheng Shuang.
Zheng Shuang gave Wang Xiaoqiang another glare and strode toward the villa with her long, beautiful legs.
As soon as Zheng Shuang entered the villa she headed straight for the master bedroom. When she saw women's clothing hanging on the rack in the master bedroom, although she had already heard about this news from her aunt, her heart still felt congested for no reason. It was like drinking a gulp of cold air; she wanted to say something but couldn't find the words.
"Hey, no way, I was only kidding. You're not really planning on lying down on the bed, are you..." Seeing Zheng Shuang head straight for the bedroom and scanning the room with her eyes, Wang Xiaoqiang felt a bit embarrassed too.
"Tsk tsk, the little couple here seems to be living a nice life..." Zheng Shuang finally managed to compose herself, then commented.
Her voice was somewhat husky, different from usual.
Wang Xiaoqiang could tell there was something odd about Zheng Shuang's voice, and he was quite embarrassed at the moment, spreading his hands "What do you think, are you envious..."
"Cut it out, envious of what? Not necessary. Haven't you asked around, the suitors for this lady could form a reinforced company... I could find someone to live together with just a phone call..." As soon as Zheng Shuang said this, the bitterness in the master bedroom reached an unprecedented level.
"No way, is your life really that degenerate?!" Wang Xiaoqiang put on a face of shock.
"You... you... what nonsense are you talking," Zheng Shuang said with an embarrassed air, clenching her fists and swinging them toward Wang Xiaoqiang, "I won't let you off for this... I am still a genuine virgin..."
Zheng Shuang's aggressive manner pushed Wang Xiaoqiang back against the wall.
Wang Xiaoqiang raised his hands, pleading repeatedly... "I'm sorry, I spoke out of turn, I apologize to you..."
Zheng Shuang lifted her face and raised her neck defiantly... "Hmph, you better recognize..."
Wang Xiaoqiang was half a head taller than Zheng Shuang, and at that moment, with Zheng Shuang pressing close to him, almost body to body, he was looking down from above, peering into the shirt to see inside,
Once Zheng Shuang realized Wang Xiaoqiang had seen hers, she immediately stepped back, her face flushing.
"However, Miss Zheng, you say you are a virgin, how can I believe that?" Wang Xiaoqiang shrugged.
"You might as well inquire around..." Perhaps because of the changes in the factory, Zheng Shuang found her mind wasn't working swiftly, and she actually began to argue with Wang Xiaoqiang over such an inappropriate question, realizing this she immediately retorted "Cut it out. Whether you believe it or not, what does it have to do with me?"
"Yeah, actually, in modern society, whether a woman is a virgin or not, what difference does it make? I hear that these days, girls don't dare to admit in public that they are virgins, fearing they'll be laughed at..."
"What rotten theory..." Zheng Shuang rolled her eyes at Wang Xiaoqiang "I absolutely disagree!"
"Hey, Little Shuang, actually, there is a way to quickly verify if someone is a virgin... Do you want to give it a try..." Wang Xiaoqiang smirked.
"Pfft, keep dreaming," Zheng Shuang glared at Wang Xiaoqiang, then fled the bedroom like she was escaping.
Wang Xiaoqiang stuck out his tongue "Look at that, thinking dirty... I was talking about a scientific experiment..."
"All nonsense!" Zheng Shuang sat down in the spacious living room.
"Hey, your visit today, it wasn't just to clarify that you're a virgin, was it?" Wang Xiaoqiang said as he sat opposite Zheng Shuang.
"Little Qiang, there's no trouble at your chicken farm, is there?" Zheng Shuang asked, seeming to seek confirmation.
"No trouble at all, why do you ask?" Wang Xiaoqiang countered.
"My dad's factory... it closed down..." Zheng Shuang said, her head hung low in dejection.
"Could it be because of this virus?" Wang Xiaoqiang speculated.
"Yes," Zheng Shuang lifted her head, staring at Wang Xiaoqiang, "The situation now is that all the livestock at the breeding farm are dead, and the food at the food processing factory has been piling up in the cold storage, and none of it can be sold..."
"It's that serious?" Wang Xiaoqiang frowned.
"Yes, we can't even pay the workers' salaries and deposits now. Today, a few workers came to my dad for money, and he was so stressed that he fell ill..." By the end, Zheng Shuang's voice choked up.
"Then I must go to the hospital to see him... you should come with me..." Wang Xiaoqiang stood up and said.
"No need, Little Qiang. I just came from the hospital, and it's not serious..." Zheng Shuang waved her hand.
"How can you say no need? Let's go, I happen to be free today anyway..."
Seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang insisted on visiting her father, Zheng Shuang was also touched and stood up, saying, "Alright, then let's go together..."
Wang Xiaoqiang started up his Hummer, went to Mantou Mountain to pick up a box of eggs, then went to the Vegetable Base to pick two watermelons, and together with Zheng Shuang, headed to the County People's Hospital.
In the hospital room, Zheng Dana's wife and his second daughter Zheng Ru were keeping him company. The arrival of Wang Xiaoqiang surprised everyone there, and they were touched— not to mention the saying 'everyone pushes a falling wall', with the current dire situation, no one dared to visit the hospital because it was a high-risk place for the virus.
Wang Xiaoqiang's visit to the hospital showed his courage and sincerity.
"Little Qiang, why are you here?" Zheng Dana got up from the bed, took Wang Xiaoqiang's hand, and said excitedly.
"I came to see how you were doing. Ah, so many things happened to your factory, and you didn't tell me a word..." To tell the truth, Wang Xiaoqiang felt regret for Zheng Dana. If only he had spoken up earlier, he couldn't guarantee anything else, but his breeding farm definitely wouldn't have collapsed.
"You came and you brought so much stuff..." Zheng Dana's wife said, "That must have cost quite a bit..."
"These are products from my company..." Wang Xiaoqiang said. He couldn't address Zheng Dana's wife formally because he had formed a sworn brotherhood with Zheng Dana. If they were to follow the titles of sworn brothers, he would have to call her 'sister-in-law,' but as Madam Zheng was going on sixty, 'sister-in-law' was something he really couldn't bring himself to say.
"Ah, Little Qiang, let me introduce you, this is Little Shuang's mom, her last name is Li, you can call her Old Li. This is my second daughter, Zheng Ru, you can call her Little Ru..."
"Uh..." Wang Xiaoqiang felt a bit awkward; calling someone 'Old Li' was far too impolite, so he didn't say much, just nodded at them as a greeting.
Wang Xiaoqiang noticed that although Zheng Ru and Zheng Shuang were siblings and vaguely looked alike, their styles were completely different. Zheng Shuang had a somewhat androgynous personality and style, while Zheng Ru was more of a ladylike type, with a slender figure, wearing a flowery long dress, and long hair draped over her shoulders, looking like a gentle and cute girl-next-door.
When Wang Xiaoqiang nodded to Zheng Ru, she also nodded to Wang Xiaoqiang, smiling politely, and sweetly said, "Hello Mr. Wang!"
"Hello!" Wang Xiaoqiang responded.
"Little Qiang, my business has reached its end, and I plan to declare bankruptcy, transferring both of my factories..." Zheng Dana said with a look of regret on his face.
"Is there really no chance of saving it?" Wang Xiaoqiang frowned.
Shaking his head, Zheng Dana said, "No more. I can't even pay the workers' salaries... Little Qiang, has Zheng Shuang told you about the transfer of the factory?"
Zheng Shuang said, "I didn't get a chance to tell him yet, Little Qiang just insisted on coming to see you..."
"Uh, then let me say it. Little Qiang, my intention is to transfer the factory to you. Would you be willing to take it over?"
"Why transfer it to me?"
"Because I think you have the ability to revitalize the factory. I've been at this for so many years; I have feelings for it. Even though it will no longer be under my name, I still don't want to see it fall..." Zheng Dana expressed his true feelings.
After mulling it over in his heart, Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Your factory is such a large scale operation; I don't have the funds to take it over..."
"No worries, Little Qiang. You can pay in installments. As long as the initial payment is enough to pay the workers' wages, it will only be about a million or so..."
Wang Xiaoqiang was moved. Zheng Enterprises was an established brand, and the factory had a couple of well-known products, with development always going smoothly. It was only failing now because of this terrible virus. In fact, taking it over now was a great deal. Although people were panic-stricken at the mention of meat, some were still eating it.
Moreover, once this epidemic passed, due to the collapse of breeding farms, the price of livestock and meat products would surely soar. With the Five Elements Spirit Spring, he didn't need to worry about the epidemic. After contemplating, Wang Xiaoqiang decisively said, "Alright, I'll take it over..."
Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's agreement made Zheng Dana very happy and relieved, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart. Furthermore, one of the people he respected was taking over his subsidiary, which was comforting.
Once Zheng Dana's condition improved, he took Wang Xiaoqiang to Zheng Enterprises to conduct an audit and showed him the calculated accounts. Wang Xiaoqiang trusted Zheng Dana and then was led by him on a tour of the two factories explaining their overall situation.
Zheng Dana's intention was that after Wang Xiaoqiang took over, he could rehire the former workers who had been with the factory for many years, as they had the technical skills and experience. Additionally, Zheng Dana introduced several veteran workers to Wang Xiaoqiang, who expressed his willingness to accept Zheng Dana's suggestions.
Afterward, they signed the equity transfer agreement and went together to the Administration for Industry and Commerce to change the legal representative. Given their relationship, of course, no lawyer was needed.
As per the agreement, Wang Xiaoqiang made the first transfer payment of one million to Zheng Dana.
With that one million, Zheng Dana settled the workers' wages and told them that Wang Xiaoqiang had taken over the company. He expressed hope that they would be eager to apply if Wang Xiaoqiang was hiring workers.
Finally, Zheng Dana invited Wang Xiaoqiang to his house for a drink, with Zheng Shuang keeping them company. During the meal, Zheng Shuang asked, "Hey, Little Qiang, I want to invest in your company, do you agree or not?"
Zheng Shuang's words took Wang Xiaoqiang by surprise, unsure if she was joking. But without waiting for Wang Xiaoqiang to speak, Zheng Dana had already explained, "Little Shuang has worked in the factory for two years and feels attached to it. My intention is to have her help you out at the factory..."
"Sure thing!" Wang Xiaoqiang agreed promptly, even before Zheng Dana could finish speaking. He was unfamiliar with the factory's operations, so having someone knowledgeable to help would make things much easier. (To be continued.
