Shao Xingbang returned quickly.
Shao Xingbang and Lu Zheng chatted alone for a long ti, but even after Lin Xia questioned Lu Zheng for a long ti later, she couldn’t find out what they talked about.
On the day Cheng Wenfeng was discharged from the hospital, Shao Xingbang drove him and his mother back to the factory.
Lin Xia observed that this incident not only changed Cheng Wenfeng’s attitude towards his uncle but also almost brought Liang Wei back to her old self.
No longer was there the cold treatnt Shao Xingbang experienced at the factory after his sister got married and returned.
Ti flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was 1988.
Because Lin Xia’s factory was doing well, she had Shitou help her buy a place for a new factory before the year ended.
After the New Year, Shitou found so good places for Lin Xia.
After checking each one, Lin Xia chose a place relatively close to the underground wholesale market.
On the day the factory officially moved and reopened after so renovations, the whole family ca to celebrate.
With the factory’s expansion ca more machines and increased staff.
Liang Wei once considered returning to her hotown with Cheng Wenfeng, but Lin Xia quickly discouraged her.
After so bitter persuasion from Lin Xia, Liang Wei, for the sake of her son’s future, decided to stay and help Lin Xia.
She assisted with the business and also developed her own career, proud to earn money and support her son. Additionally, she slowly began to open her heart to Shao Xingbang...
Lin Xia was no longer content with just making money from the clothing factory; she constantly thought about exploring other profitable ventures.
One day, Lin Xia stumbled upon a piece of news in the newspaper about the governnt deciding to open free exchange of treasury bonds in Shanghai and other provinces.
The news made Lin Xia’s eyes sparkle as she imdiately thought of a story she had read about Xun Baiwan.
This person took advantage of the opportunity, used all his savings, borrowed money, and made a fortune.
Why shouldn’t she use her considerable funds to buy treasury bonds and profit from the margin?
However, Lin Xia had beco accustod to discussing things with her family before making decisions.
Without their full support, she couldn’t do anything substantial.
Not to ntion, with two kids, Jingjing and Keke, she couldn’t go anywhere.
Shao Chengzhi, being very open-minded, after hearing Lin Xia’s idea about making money from treasury bonds, expressed his support but also his concerns, "Lin Xia! I think it’s a way to make money. But traveling alone with a lot of money, none of us would be at ease!"
"I’m actually scared too, so I want to find soone to go with !" Lin Xia admitted her fear, although she wasn’t worried about money matters, thanks to Jade Room.
The key issue was personal safety, as she had a shadow from being robbed before, making her fearful of going to unfamiliar places alone.
However, picking soone from the factory to accompany her long-term wasn’t a good idea as it would be difficult, and the expanded factory needed more hands for daily deliveries and night patrols.
More importantly, large sums of money could challenge human nature and loyalty, making Lin Xia wary of easily testing them.
"Finding soone to accompany you is right!" Lu Pengcheng voiced his opinion, "But, Lin Xia, who will you take? You’ll be gone for a while! Xiaozheng is very busy these days, a few days might be okay, but for long periods..."
He was retired and had ti, but as her father-in-law, it wasn’t appropriate for him and Lin Xia to be together for long, which could invite criticism.
Shao irou was still inclined to prevent Lin Xia from going. She supported her daughter-in-law’s career but felt family and children were the priority.
Besides worrying about Lin Xia’s safety, she also feared financial loss. Though she wasn’t unfamiliar with treasury bonds, she couldn’t see how they could beco that profitable.
Many people’s wages partly turned into treasury bonds—all having a bit.
"Lin Xia! Your factory is already very substantial and thriving. Is it necessary to earn that hard money? A couple of days is fine, and we’ll look after the kids! But if you’re gone for long, the kids will worry and get sick!"
Lin Xia couldn’t refute her mother-in-law harshly and could only shift the decision to Lu Zheng, who wasn’t back yet.
"I’m torn too. Let ask Xiaozheng and then decide!"
Lu Zheng would never let his wife travel alone. He quickly expressed over the phone, "Wife, I’ll go with you!"
Lin Xia, holding the receiver, couldn’t believe what she heard. She had planned to convince Lu Zheng to let her carry out this endeavor if he objected.
If she successfully persuaded Lu Zheng, there would be nothing to worry about; he could handle her mother-in-law.
But she didn’t expect his imdiate support without any refusal, offering to accompany her instead.
Lin Xia knew how busy Lu Zheng was lately and that it wasn’t a ti for him to easily take leave.
"Xiaozheng, what about your work?"
Lu Zheng spoke nonchalantly, "I’ll take leave! No problem! My wife earning hard for our ho—how can I not be her strong support?"
Lin Xia was deeply moved; she was grateful to have such a loving, understanding, and supportive husband.
"Okay! I’ll wait for you! But you’ll have to deal with mom’s objections!"
"Don’t worry! I’ll handle mom! Her objections are also out of concern for you!"
"I know! I’ll wait for you then!"
"Alright! I’ll finish up here and return!"
Lin Xia eagerly awaited her husband’s return. This was not sothing to be delayed, as a missed window would lead to lost profit.
Lu Zheng indeed returned quickly.
Shao irou understood imdiately upon seeing her son, "Xiaozheng! Lin Xia! I’m not unreasonable; I’m just worried about investing all your money. What if you lose it? Treasury bonds have been collected for years, and people barter with them too. They might already have a lot.
Throwing in all our money... leaves anxious!"
Lu Zheng didn’t let Lin Xia respond; he communicated with his mother, "Mom, don’t worry! We won’t keep them long, just flip them for a quick profit!"
Shao irou was finally persuaded by Lu Zheng.
Before they left, Shao Chengzhi called Lu Zheng to his room, giving him extra money to increase their capital.
Lu Zheng initially refused but couldn’t resist the old man’s skillful persuasion and finally accepted temporarily.
Lin Xia and Lu Zheng boarded a plane to Shanghai with substantial funds.
Little did they expect to et an acquaintance on the plane...
