Chapter 1784: Men Change When They Grow Up

“Yes, who are you?” Qian’e thought for a long time and suddenly said, “You’re that little kid from the Xia family!!

Back when Qian’e was chasing after Xia Zhe, there was always a little kid who followed Xia Zhe around and who kept going against her. The kid was already 15 years old then but was not tall. Therefore, Qian’e had always laughed at Xiang Chen about his height. She did not expect Xiang Chen to be so tall and muscular now. He was even taller than Xia Zhe!

“Yes,” Xiang Chen replied honestly.

“So men also change drastically when they grow up. 1 didn’t even recognize you!” Qian’e said excitedly.

Xiang Chen scratched his head in embarrassment. He did not recognize Qian’e just now either. Qian’e looked really beautiful now and did not look like a woman past the age of 30 at all.

“Have you graduated? Where are you working now?” Qian’e asked.

“l just graduated and returned to the capital. My mother wants me to work in the government. I don’t like that kind of place. 1 studied Economics and I want to work for a big company. So I haven’t found a job yet,” Xiang Chen said.

Qian’e immediately had a sparkle in her eyes. Recently, she had found out that the factory’s accountant was not professional enough and that the accounts were full of loopholes. She might even be able to do a better job. Since Xiang Chen was an Economics student, he must also know how to do the accounts!

“Do you know anything about accounting?” Qian’e said.

“Yes, this is a basic skill. Everyone in our profession has this knowledge! I even have a certificate in accounting,” Xiang Chen said.

Qian’e jumped up excitedly and grabbed Xiang Chen’s hand. “You must know about your cousin-in-law’s factory! We happen to need an accountant now! You can name your salary! As long as you can do the accounts of our factory properly! I’ll agree to any condition!”

For a moment, Xiang Chen did not know if what Qian’e said was true or not. He looked at Qiao Mei, who smiled and nodded. Qian’e could decide on anything in the factory and did not need to report everything to her. She would not interfere in such trivial matters.

“Qian’e, it’s not good for you to poach my son in front of me like this, right?” Xia Fang asked as she looked at Qian’e.

“Auntie Fang, I’m just too excited to meet a suitable candidate. If you don’t agree, then we can forget it. I can go out and recruit for the position! I’m just thinking that we should keep good things within the family,” Qian’e came to Xia Fangs side and said sweetly.

Qian’e originally did not have a close relationship with the Xia family, especially after what happened with Xia Zhe back then. None of them had a good impression of her then. However, looking at how she got along with Qiao Mei during this period of time, everyone gradually grew fond of her. She was like another one of Li Gui’s daughters now. When it came to the Xia family members, she used the same form of address as Qiao Mei.

“I’m just trying to scare you. My son can do whatever he wants. I won’t interfere,” Xia Fang said.

Xiang Chen looked at Xia Fang in surprise. In the past, Xia Fang used to be very controlling and always wanted to plan his life for him. She could not stand to see any misstep at all. When did his mother become so easy-going?

“Then you can decide! Do you want to work at our factory!” Qian’e asked excitedly.

“Alright, let’s give it a try,” Xiang Chen said shyly.

Qiao Mei stared at Xiang Chen for a long time. She seemed to have sensed something strange. Xia Wen and Qiao Mei looked at each other and smiled with an unspoken mutual understanding. Xia Wen could also tell that there was something strange about Xiang Chen’s reaction.

Xu Jiao went home and came back to Qiao Mei’s house with a big box. She could not carry it alone and had to bring Xu Man along. As soon as Xu Man entered the house, she almost burst out in laughter when she saw Xu Ju.

“This is the headdress,” Xu Jiao said cautiously.

Qiao Mei went to the box to inspect the goods and opened it to take a look. This was a top-grade tian-tsui headdress! It was a rare find! She had made a killing!

“Is everything alright?” Qian’e asked softly.

Qiao Mei nodded. Xia Wen and Xiang Chen carried the box into the study together. Qian’e patted Xu Jiao’s shoulder and said, “l hope you brought the written agreement.”

“Yes, yes!” Xu Man answered immediately.

Qian’e tore up the agreement. Since the goods were already delivered, this matter was completely over. Neither party could use any excuse to harass the other party.

Before Xu Ju left, Qian’e even gave Xu Jiao 200 dollars for medical fees. “If your family still dares to call the police after taking the money, let’s see how many times your mother can get beaten up by me before she ends up dead,” Qian’e said fiercely..
