Chapter 1510 Have Drinks to Relax
The Lu family members worked as car mechanics for generations but they only became well-known because of Lu Huai's father. His father not only knew how to repair cars, but also manufacture parts and design improvements for cars. Everyone addressed his father as "Master Lu".
In the capital, if his father claimed to be the second-best mechanic, no one would dare to take the top spot. Everyone thought that Lu Huai's father would have clever and outstanding children, but Lu Huai's elder brother turned out to be a simple-minded person who did not like to study. As for Lu Huai, he was very rebellious since he was young and always went against his father's wishes.
Things changed during the year when Lu Huai's father lost his life in an accident. At that time, Lu Huai was only 16 years old and his elder brother had run away from home. As the only man left in the family, he had to buck up and be strong.
From then on, Lu Huai stopped being wilful and began to earnestly learn how to repair cars and drive trucks. The only thing in his mind was to earn money to support his family and give his mother a good life. As for getting married and having children, he did not even dare to think about it. He felt that whichever girl who married him would only have a tough life.
As he went through life feeling overwhelmed, Xia You entered his world and changed his fate. Xia You was like a small sun that illuminated the darkness of his life and made him understand the purpose of hard work and the value of life.
Liu Fen was not a fool. Even if the Xia family's second son was only mediocre, there was no need for his daughter to marry a mechanic and suffer for the rest of her life. Liu Fen set many difficult conditions for Lu Huai to fulfill, but he worked hard to meet all Liu Fen's requirements in the end. Only then did he receive their approval to marry Xia You.
However, his work took him away from home a lot and he did not have much time to accompany Xia You. He wanted to change jobs but was worried that he would not be able to support his family. This was why the situation stayed the same until now.
Now that he had a chance to stay by Xia You's side every day, he definitely wanted to grasp it tightly. However, he was afraid that he was not capable enough. For a moment, Lu Huai was in a dilemma.
"I have to go home and discuss this matter with Xia You. I can't decide on my own. Our Xia You has the final say," Lu Huai said to Qiao Mei with a goofy smile.
Qiao Mei nodded in relief. It looked like Xia You was a very good judge of character. When she had more free time, she must ask Xia You to come to her house and tell the story of how she wooed Lu Huai during those years and finally married into the Lu family.
She still had some factory matters to deal with in the coming days. She had a discussion with Xia Zhe and they decided that Xia Zhe would go home and fetch the children to stay with Grandpa Xia for a while. After the seeds reached the capital and everything was settled, Qiao Mei would go home to accompany Xia Zhe.
Xia Zhe had never spent time with the children before. He found it to be a good idea as it could bring them closer together, so he agreed to Qiao Mei's suggestion.
Three days pa.s.sed very quickly. After Xia Zhe returned to the capital, Han Chen stopped sending flowers to Qiao Mei. However, Qian'e was not so lucky. Li Gui was now in charge of supplying braised meat to their various customers and was extremely busy every day. Therefore, Qian'e needed to handle the business for both seeds and popcorn.
Since Han Chen could not annoy Qiao Mei for the time being, he started to torment Qian'e. He frequently asked Qian'e to send doc.u.ments or samples to him and also nitpicked at all kinds of issues. He insisted that the packaging design was extremely ugly and requested a new design.
"I've really had enough! Is there something wrong with this person! Does he feel uncomfortable if he doesn't find fault with us for one day! I only let him off because he gave our factory a large sum of money and a five-year contract. Otherwise, I would have thrown those samples at his face long ago!" Qian'e said furiously in Qiao Mei's office, throwing a tantrum after drinking some wine.
It was after office hours now. The two of them had been under too much pressure recently so they decided to have some drinks to relax.
"I also think that there's something wrong with him. Fortunately, I'm not allergic to pollen. My office was like a garden some time ago! I even asked Xia He to move the flowers to her house," Qiao Mei said after taking a sip of wine.
"That's right! He's really crazy! Once the five-year contract is up, let's cut him off! I don't care how much money he wants to give us! Do you know what the people in his company say about him in private?" Qian'e said.
"What?" Qiao Mei looked at Qian'e curiously.
"They say that Han Chen is handsome and suave. They also say um that there are very few pretty men like him in the world" Qian'e rattled off as she recalled what those people said.
