Chapter 206 These two men are both very good people
The two men remained deadlocked for a long time. After He Qiaoyun finished processing the temporary license plate, they each gave in and formed a trio.
He Qiaoyun stuck the temporary license plate on the windshield, completely forgetting about the electric scooter she had brought, and drove her Mercedes to the restaurant.
The three of them went into the restaurant and sat down, whereupon the waiter handed them menus.
He Qiaoyun said with a smile, "Order whatever you like, don't be shy."
She was editing her WeChat Moments post and didn't have time to order food.
Xiao Li took several solo photos of her. She picked one, uploaded it to her WeChat Moments, and captioned it: "[Mercedes aren't that expensive, I hope everyone who sees this can drive a Mercedes.]"
After editing and sending it, I happily admired the photo of myself with the car.
A beautiful car really does make her look younger and more wealthy.
The two men who had just ordered their food saw her staring at her phone, so they picked up their phones, opened their WeChat Moments, and saw that the first post was from her.
She only posted photos of herself.
The two exchanged a glance, then calmly put down their phones.
It's the weekend, and He Qiaoyun's WeChat Moments post had only been up for two minutes when it immediately received a lot of likes and comments, mostly congratulating her. Her daughter's WeChat message also popped up.
Xu Hemei: [Mom! You bought a Mercedes!]
He Qiaoyun replied with a smile: "I just picked it up today. Isn't it beautiful? I'm a factory owner now, I can't keep driving that beat-up little van. Money is meant to be spent, right?"
Xu Hemei: [Yes! Great purchase! So, are you going to treat us to a meal?]
He Qiaoyun casually sent her the address: "Your Uncle Feng and Uncle Liu are here. They just helped me buy the car. Come over if you have time."
Xu Hemei: [I'm at work. We'll eat by ourselves on this day.]
He Qiaoyun: [Okay.]
Seeing He Qiaoyun holding her phone, Liu Biao said, "Qiaoyun, you haven't ordered yet."
He Qiaoyun then remembered that she was treating everyone. She put down her phone, gave a forced smile, and said, "I couldn't resist posting it on my WeChat Moments to show off. I'm reading my friends' comments now. I'll order now."
She called the waiter over and ordered two more of her favorite dishes. Then, she stopped looking at her phone and started to laugh at herself, saying, "Oh dear, showing off a 100,000 yuan Mercedes on social media, won't people think I'm pretentious...?"
Liu Biao, his expression sharp, rubbed his hands together and said, "Did someone say something unpleasant? Who was it? Tell me, and I'll teach them a lesson."
He Qiaoyun waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, I was just thinking nonsense, because I don't usually show off my WeChat Moments in such a high-profile way."
Feng Jiashu said calmly, "Your Moments are for yourself. Post when you're happy. Let others think what they want. You're the one driving the car and living your life. Just be happy and do what you want. There's no need to care about what others think behind your back. Their thoughts are the least important thing."
He Qiaoyun smiled again, "Yes, thank you for comforting me."
Liu Biao, somewhat envious of Feng Jiashu's eloquence, muttered discontentedly, "You think you're so great at talking..."
Soon, the dishes were served. Since all three of them had driven there, they didn't order any alcohol, but each poured themselves half a glass of orange juice and raised their glasses.
Liu Biao said, "Let's use tea instead of wine to congratulate Qiaoyun on her new car."
Feng Jiashu looked at He Qiaoyun and said sincerely, "Congratulations."
He Qiaoyun smiled and said, "Thank you."
When picking up a new car, you don't actually need to host a large banquet, because most of the people who come aren't genuinely there to congratulate you. The two of them are among the few who are truly happy for her, and that's enough.
However, these two have one flaw: they like to bicker with each other.
He Qiaoyun didn't participate in their bickering. After working for most of the day, she was really hungry, so she forced a smile and focused on eating.
Finally, the two had finished arguing, and the topic took a complete 180-degree turn. Feng Jiashu asked, "Qiaoyun, you took over your ex-husband's two factories. Have you encountered any difficulties?"
Liu Biao immediately interrupted, "Qiaoyun, do whatever you want, go for it without worry. If you need money, just come to me, I'll lend it to you. Banks charge interest, but I don't, and I won't pressure you to pay it back."
He Qiaoyun: "It's still in the initial stage, there are no difficulties, and my reserve funds are sufficient."
Having run a business for so many years, she didn't just impulsively take over the factory out of sentimentality. Before taking it over, she had already budgeted for possible expenses and various remedial measures in case of unexpected events.
However, she was still very touched by her friend's support. "But if I ever need help, I definitely won't hesitate to ask you for it."
Liu Biao smiled with satisfaction, "Okay."
Feng Jiashu asked, "Do you have any other ideas about these two factories? Do you want to continue with your old business, or do you plan to find another way?"
This stumped He Qiaoyun, who was also confused.
Making carpets and tableware is really outdated. Many of her peers have piles of unsold stock of these two items. If she continues to produce them, she'll be doomed.
After thinking for a while, she said, "My most pressing problem right now is to sell the pile of goods that are practically gathering dust. As for the rest, I'll just take it one step at a time. There'll always be a way out."
Liu Biao echoed, "That's right, things will work themselves out. You have to do things to understand them, not just talk about them on paper."
Feng Jiashu smiled and said, "If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me."
She discovered that both men were very good people.
If it were someone else, they would have lectured her based on their past experiences and hearsay, trying to show off their intelligence, or they would have criticized her for taking on these two messy factories, saying she shouldn't have messed things up and predicting a disastrous end for her, that her good life would be ruined by these two factories, and so on...
But they didn't offer her any of that; instead, they provided her with financial and emotional support.
This already surpasses 90% of men.
She was very touched, smiled gently, and said, "If there is really a need, I will definitely not hesitate to ask you for help."
Although Feng Jiashu and Liu Biao bickered occasionally, they generally enjoyed the meal.
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, they finished their meal, paid the bill, and walked out of the restaurant. They each took out their car keys, calmly pressed the keys twice, and the cars rang twice.
They looked at each other and smiled.
He Qiaoyun smiled and waved to them, "Then I'll head back now."
After speaking, he opened the driver's side door, bowed slightly, got into the car gracefully, and closed the door.
These two things represent her dream of the future when she was young.
They have a career they are dedicated to, dress smartly, drive luxury cars, and live a glamorous and respectable life.
This dream of a future life has arrived thirty years late.
She sat in the car, slowly started the engine, and drove towards the main road.
At this moment, her life will be illuminated for the second time.
