When the screen displayed a balance of one hundred thousand, Fei Hu was truly stunned. He couldn't believe it, looking at it twice to confirm that there were indeed five zeros followed by a decimal point. It was absolutely true; this card had a deposit of one hundred thousand. Fei Hu was so excited he nearly went crazy. This was the most money he had ever earned in his life, something he never even dreamed of.
With such a large sum, Fei Hu didn't want to break it up. After withdrawing from the card, he headed back, thinking about how generous Tang Lan was to give such a large amount right off the bat. Although he had risked his life to recover over a million for her from Vietnam, people in positions like Boss usually tended to be stingy. He would have been satisfied with just ten thousand, so it seemed he had underestimated Tang Zong.
Upon returning to his room, Alice was already up and busy making breakfast in the kitchen. Fei Hu lay on the sofa with his eyes half-closed, recalling how he had gone to Hong Kong last time and helped A-Lian recover five hundred thousand, for which A-Lian had given him fifty thousand. Now, after this trip to Vietnam, Tang Lan had given him another hundred thousand. Adding these two amounts together meant he now had one hundred fifty thousand in savings. Fei Hu couldn't help but smile at the thought.
"What good thing are you thinking about? You look so happy," Alice asked with a smile as she set breakfast on the coffee table.
Fei Hu lifted his head and glanced at the charming Alice, feeling a bit embarrassed as he said, "I just went out to get some money for you, but I messed up the bank card password, so I couldn't withdraw it. I'll have to wait a while before I can give it to you." As he spoke, he felt his face burning; lying didn't feel good at all.
Alice shot him an annoyed look and said, "You're being overly sentimental. Did I ever say I wanted you to pay me back? A few thousand is just pocket change; you don't need to get up before dawn for that. It seems I’m not even considered a friend in your eyes." Her expression clearly showed she was quite displeased.
Fei Hu walked over and leaned on Alice's shoulder, whispering, "We've already shared a bed; if we're not friends, then what are we? Surely not husband and wife?" He teased her deliberately because he didn't want her to be upset.
"Get lost! Always taking advantage of me," Alice said with a stern face. She looked incredibly beautiful when angry. Unable to resist, Fei Hu kissed her cheek, and they both started laughing as they began eating breakfast.
The glove factory was as busy as ever. As soon as Fei Hu appeared at the factory gate, the security lady opened her mouth in surprise and smiled after a moment: "You're here! It's been a long time since you last came." Fei Hu smiled and nodded before stepping through the gate and heading toward A-Lian's office.
Inside A-Lian's office was a lively scene. Today was the fifth of the month—payday for the glove factory—no wonder everyone looked so happy. As soon as Fei Hu stepped into the office, several women from the workshop surrounded him. One woman looked somewhat familiar; she counted the cash in her hands and said, "Boss, we can now receive our salaries on time every month along with bonuses! Everyone says it's thanks to you, so I'm inviting you out for dinner tonight. Will you accept?"
Fei Hu chuckled and replied, "Sure! Just don’t make it so that I end up paying!" His words made everyone burst into laughter.
A-Lian gestured for Fei Hu to sit down while she and Xiao Qi sped up the salary distribution process. In no time at all, everyone in the factory received their wages. They chatted happily among themselves as if this day were the happiest day of their lives.
"Xiao Qi, please summarize Fei Hu's salary for the past few months. He happens to be here today, so give it to him," A-Lian said with a smile.
Xiao Qi put down her calculator, took out a small notebook from the drawer, and after some calculations, she smiled at Fei Hu and said, "Brother Tiger, you've been working at our glove factory for nearly three months now. Your monthly salary is two thousand five hundred, so for three months, we owe you seven thousand five hundred. However, we need to deduct your salary for the two days you were absent, just so you know." Xiao Qi pushed the notebook in front of A-Lian.
When Fei Hu heard that A-Lian and Xiao Qi were going to pay him his salary, he initially thought they were joking. But seeing the situation, he realized it was serious. Fei Hu became a bit anxious and quickly said, "No, no, no! Why are you giving me a salary? I haven't even worked a full day! This isn't fair to everyone else. Please don't let this affect your work."
"Haha, I know you have money, but this is what we agreed upon. First of all, you invested twenty thousand in the factory, so you're considered a minor shareholder. Secondly, whether or not you come to work, your name is still on our glove factory's roster, so it's only right for you to receive a salary. This was unanimously approved at the factory meeting, so please don't resist," A-Lian said as she took out a stack of cash from the drawer, counted it, pulled out a few bills, and pushed the remaining cash toward Fei Hu.
Fei Hu felt embarrassed to reach out for it; he just sat there dumbfounded, unsure of what to do.
Xiao Qi walked over to Fei Hu, gently patted him on the shoulder twice, and said, "Brother Tiger, just take it. Don't think it's too little; based on your contributions to our factory, even doubling it would still be less than what you deserve. If you keep refusing, it will seem like you're complaining about the amount. I and Sister Lian can only give you more then."
Looking at the increasingly beautiful Xiao Qi, Fei Hu reluctantly grabbed the cash from the table and stuffed it into his pocket. It seemed like he had secured his rent again; Fei Hu couldn't help but feel happy inside.
A-Lian looked up and carefully examined Fei Hu, saying, "You won't leave again this time, will you?"
Fei Hu nodded and replied, "I'm not leaving anymore. There's no point in going back now; I've realized that I can only move forward. There's no turning back after choosing such a difficult path."
"Tch! That's just an excuse. You clearly can't let go of Miss Ye, yet you're saying there's no turning back. If you came to run the factory with me and Sister Lian, I doubt anyone would dare to cause you trouble," Xiao Qi said disdainfully. This little girl spoke her mind without caring about appearances; what she said was indeed true.
Fei Hu smiled but remained silent. He changed the subject and asked, "The glove factory seems to be doing well now. Is it because sales have improved or have you found some clever way to manage things?"
"Improved sales are one reason; the key issue is that our quality is very good. We have many repeat customers now. We've also added several new machines and hired over ten new employees. Our current worry is not being able to keep up with production rather than sales. For our products, small clients usually come with cash in hand to pick up their orders. I've cut off those clients who used to delay payments for months; among them was Shengwei Group," A-Lian said confidently with a smile on her face.
Several women have managed to turn a nearly bankrupt factory into its current state, which is no easy feat. Fei Hu secretly felt happy for them. He nodded and asked A-Lian, "Does the factory still have bad debts? Is the cash flow still tight?"
"There are almost no bad debts left, except for Sheng Wei still owing us over a hundred thousand. Right now, our funds are very sufficient. For orders from outside, we require a fifty percent deposit before we can start production, so money is not an issue. As for the payment owed by Sheng Wei, they promised to pay us in full this month; that won't be an issue either," A-Lian said confidently.
Fei Hu smiled slightly and said, "You must not be careless with Sheng Wei. Although it looks impressive from the outside, internally, it's riddled with problems and nearly out of money. So it's better to be cautious."
"Hahaha, Brother Tiger, you really think things through. We had already considered this. However, when we went to Sheng Wei to collect the money last time, we encountered that Wang Qian. This woman is quite something; she looked at me and Sister Lian and asked, 'What is your relationship with Fei Hu?' I was taken aback for a moment but finally said boldly, 'We are friends.' You know what Wang Qian said next," Xiao Qi said mysteriously.
Fei Hu did not expect that Wang Qian could recognize A-Lian and Xiao Qi. He curiously asked Xiao Qi, "What did Wang Qian say?"
Xiao Qi chuckled and sat her curvy hips on the table in front of Fei Hu, saying, "Wang Qian seemed to hesitate for a moment and then said, 'I don't want to owe you this money; come back on the tenth of next month, and I'll specially approve it for you.' Neither Sister Lian nor I expected that. Even though Brother Tiger is gone, his reputation remains; we still rely on you," Xiao Qi laughed brightly as her two small curves bounced.
This girl was becoming more eye-catching; she truly transformed beautifully over time.
A-Lian noticed Fei Hu's strange gaze and smiled lightly, saying, "Xiao Qi, you should head to the West Suburb Wholesale Market now. It's currently controlled by that bastard Ye Wu; it's not like before when we had someone backing us up. So you need to put in more effort and make sure not to lose business here." A-Lian said this while secretly glancing at Fei Hu.
Fei Hu understood A-Lian's meaning and also told Xiao Qi, "Go take care of business; anyway, I'm not leaving A City this time. There will be plenty of opportunities to chat in the future as long as you don't annoy me; we can have good conversations." While saying this, Fei Hu's eyes never left Xiao Qi's chest.
Although Xiao Qi was playful, she never took matters lightly when it came to business. She nodded and jumped off the table, turning to walk towards the door. As soon as Xiao Qi left, A-Lian shot a glare at Fei Hu and whispered, "You're such a big pervert. Xiao Qi doesn't even have a boyfriend yet; if you dare to make a move on her, you'd better be prepared to marry her."
Upon hearing this, Fei Hu's face turned slightly red because A-Lian's words struck a chord with him. However, he really needed to consider what A-Lian said; if he couldn't control himself and developed some kind of relationship with Xiao Qi, he couldn't just walk away without consequences. Lost in thought, Fei Hu's phone suddenly rang loudly. He looked at it nervously and stood up.
