Chapter 1147: Seeking Fruit Forest Outside the City

“Honestly speaking, those who run businesses are often more experienced and savvy compared to those from the countryside. Your Mother-in-law is an exceptionally capable person, but I worry that she could be manipulated if someone with ulterior motives sets her up. It might be best if she doesn’t involve herself in business decisions at all. Even if someone tries to plot against her, they won’t succeed…”

Qiao Xuan nodded in agreement, acknowledging that not all business families were as forthright as Yuezheng Xiao.

The truth had been exposed, and the secrets couldn’t remain hidden for long. Both she and Shao Yunduan were absent, which could lead people to speculate and harbor sinister thoughts.

After all, money had the power to corrupt people’s intentions.

When large sums of money were at stake, n.o.body would dare to take risks lightly. It could be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of liang.

Amused, Qiao Xuan recalled Ms. Fang’s character. “Actually, my Mother-in-law is quite different. She pays no heed to what others say and insists on waiting for me and my husband to come home and make decisions!”

First Madame smiled approvingly. “Your Mother-in-law is very wise.”

It was always better to avoid meddling in matters one didn’t fully comprehend.

They chatted for a while, and Qiao Xuan asked First Madame to bring a dozen servants to their home, to which First Madame agreed.

Then, with a smile, Qiao Xuan mentioned her intention to visit the Shao Family and invite Ms. Fang and Taotao to the province for a visit. She wanted to get to know the Shao Family better.

Qiao Xuan felt even more grateful, but the thought of Taotao’s marriage made her hesitate, preventing her from seeking further help from First Madame.

That was not very appropriate.

First Madame’s social circle primarily consisted of business people, and it might not be the most suitable environment for Taotao.

Perhaps it would be best to wait and observe. If Taotao started going out more often and gaining more exposure, the right opportunity might come naturally.

As the day drew to a close, Qiao Xuan and First Madame bid farewell to each other and retired to their respective guest rooms for some rest.

The next morning, Qiao Xuan wrote a letter and requested First Madame to deliver it to her home.

Yuezheng Xiao arrived after breakfast.

She had intended to meet Qiao Xuan the previous day, but the timing didn’t work out.

Yuezheng Xiao had several business deals to discuss with Qiao Xuan, and their discussions lasted for half a day.

Afterward, she handed over the payment for the tea leaves, lipsticks, and snow fungus, amounting to more than 90,000 liang.

The tea leaf production had increased significantly, and the lipsticks had seen a substantial rise in demand. Additionally, the snow fungus and dessert shops continued to perform well, resulting in substantial earnings.

In total, Qiao Xuan now had almost 450,000 liang!

Indeed, the Yuezheng Family had a strong network and efficient channels, all of which were top-notch. With control over the sources and low labor costs, the money came in effortlessly, leaving Qiao Xuan worry-free.

If she had been managing the business herself, she would have undoubtedly faced numerous challenges and headaches.

Luckily, she had the good fortune of partnering with the Yuezheng Family, which made all the difference.

In the afternoon, Qiao Xuan couldn’t contain her excitement and decided to visit the orchard. Accompanied by Yuezheng Xiao, she set out, but Xie Jingrong was currently away on a trip.

Manager Zhou, Manager Bai, and a few waiters seemed to have been informed in advance and were waiting for her arrival, wearing welcoming smiles.

The citrus and grapefruit were now ripe for picking. Qiao Xuan had already tasted them both at her home in Shaoding Village and at the Yuezheng Family’s estate the previous day. The fruits were incredibly juicy and sweet.

Yuezheng Xiao mentioned that these two fruits were used to make fruit tea, which had become immensely popular. The dessert stores also sold fresh citrus and grapefruit, attracting a large number of customers.
