Chapter 1389 Buns at the Entrance of the Alley

"Didn't you tell me the last time that I only have half a month? Did you change your mind?" Deng Fan was most afraid of clients who behaved like this. The initial time frame would be half a month, then the client would procrastinate in the early stages, with no intention of making any progress. Then when the deadline was almost up, the client would put a lot of pressure on everyone. In the end, things that could have been comfortably done over half a month had to be completed within a few days.

If such a big factory really had to be completed within a few days, it would be a dangerous building! It definitely would not meet his standards.

Qiao Mei laughed awkwardly. She had already forgotten that she had agreed on a time frame with Deng Fan. Since he put it this way, it would not be good for her to make any changes, so she just went along with the previous timeline.

Some time ago, Chi Ze had brought some workers to the site to clean up all the rubbish there. When that piece of land was first rented, it was still occupied by an abandoned factory that had been left untouched for many years. It looked like it would collapse with a light touch. Qiao Mei had asked Chi Ze to pull the entire place down and leave behind only an empty piece of land so as to facilitate the building works.

"Then I'll go with whatever you say." Qiao Mei took out a big bag from the safe under the table. She patted the bag and said, "There's 100,000 dollars here. Take it and use it first. If it's not enough, just let me know. I'll leave you to decide on all the purchases. I'll also make a list of the equipment I need in the factory. You just need to buy everything that's on the list."

Deng Fan widened his eyes and looked at Qiao Mei. She was handing so much money to him so easily? Qiao Mei did not seem worried that he would run away with the money. This was a sum of 100,000 dollars! It would be enough for him to use until he was 60 years old!

"This money..." Deng Fan said hesitantly.

"Don't worry, the money is clean. As you know, many people begged me to buy my medicinal wine. This is part of the He family's payment," Qiao Mei explained.

Deng Fan still did not dare to accept it. He looked at Qiao Mei and said, "This is a lot of money and it's not safe to leave it at my house. It's also inconvenient for me to bring it around. I'll take 10,000 dollars first to buy the materials. In the future, if I want to buy other things, I'll ask Xia He for money. What do you think?"

"Anything is fine as long as it's convenient for you," Qiao Mei said.

Just as the two of them were discussing how to start the construction of the factory, Xia He woke up. When she saw Deng Fan, her originally happy expression darkened.

Although the two of them had reconciled after their argument the last time, she was still feeling angry. It was all her fault for not being able to resist the temptation. Whenever she saw Deng Fan's face, half of her anger would disappear.

"You're up! There's no food for you at home. You have to go out and eat," Qiao Mei said deliberately.

"I don't believe it. I'll ask Auntie Xu. Don't tell me Auntie Xu won't give me food?" Xia He knew that this was Qiao Mei's plan, but she refused to fall for it!

"You can ask her but there's nothing for you. Even if there's ingredients at home, we won't cook for you! You have to go out and eat." Qiao Mei rolled up the plans on the table and handed them to Deng Fan. "Brother Deng, just do as I say. If there's nothing else, you can go back."

Deng Fan immediately understood what she meant and quickly took the design plans and walked to the door. "Xiao He, there's a new bun shop at the entrance of the alley. The food is very delicious. I'll bring you there to try it."

"What new bun shop? I walk around this alley every day and there's no new shop at all," Xia He turned away and said stubbornly.

Deng Fan scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said, "It's... it's at the entrance of the alley near our house, not the one here."

"Who... what our house! I'm not married to you yet! It doesn't count!" Xia He said in a fit of pique.

"It'll be our house in the future. Go get changed and I'll bring you out to eat," Deng Fan said.

As Xia He looked at Deng Fan's earnest expression, she began to feel uneasy about what she was really thinking. Before she could decide whether she wanted to go or not, she had already started to walk towards the bedroom.

Qiao Mei stood at the window to watch the commotion. After it was over, she went to take care of the children. Feng Hua had said that Xia Fan and Xia Xing were starting to become chatty recently.

"Fan Fan! Say Mommy~" Qiao Mei hugged Xia Fan and said with a smile.

"Children at this age still can't speak yet! They need to be at least one year old before they can speak clearly," Feng Hua said as she looked at Qiao Mei.
