Zhao Qiang was almost about to slap Yang Shiqi across the face, "So you're still planning to act as my go-between?"
Are you even human? How could you do this to my senior sister? I really want to represent my senior sister, my teacher, the sun, and the moon to beat you up! Yang Shiqi slapped her forehead, "Damn it, there are some things I didn't explain to you clearly!" Zhao Qiang said, "Alright, stop explaining. If you dare to play these tricks again, I'll kick you away."
Yang Shiqi was afraid of really angering Zhao Qiang, and besides, there were some things she didn't want to explain to him, so she quickly said, "Alright, alright, I won't mention it anymore." Zhao Qiang stretched out his hand and said, "Hurry up and give me the money. From now on, I won't be polite to you. Also, keep an eye on the Luo family for me. If Luo Wanjiang is not honest, I'll help him teach him a lesson."
If he dares to lay a hand on Luo Wei, you should just cripple him.
Anyway, you weren't a good person to begin with, so it's good that we found the right person to do these things. Yang Shiqi has shot herself in the foot, and she can only accept her bad luck. "Come on, let's go to my office. I'll get the money done for you right away. I only just realized it now."
I'm just someone who cleans up your messes. I guess I'm just unlucky. What do you mean I owed you in my past life? Why did I have to meet you? I could have lived my life as before if I hadn't met you.
Now there's no way to make it work, the old man won't allow it!
Volume 2 [243] Cosmetics and Intelligent Voice Control
An hour later, Zhao Qiang returned to the overhaul factory from the military camp, satisfied. It was around 3:30. He had earned 500 million yuan. Making money was really easy. The air intake and compression chamber he designed were indeed things that scientists from all over the world had not yet thought of. But in Zhao Qiang's opinion, they were not worth 500 million yuan. It was just a sudden inspiration when he couldn't sleep one day. This is the benefit of having a high-level biochip. You know, those scientists have had many inspirations but still haven't come up with anything. Of course, it is possible that they have thought about it but gave up before they could get any results because they considered that the materials could not withstand high pressure. This is the difference between starting from a high level.
Before nightfall, Zhao Qiang made another compression gun. With it, he could start killing enemies in large-scale attacks. Even if a truck came crashing into him, Zhao Qiang could blast it away with one shot! This was the stimulation and motivation Zhao Qiang received when he was attacked by a truck that morning.
You can't do without some offensive weapons; simply defending isn't the solution.
After finishing work, Zhao Qiang said to Wei, "Let's go to the provincial capital together tomorrow."
Wei asked, "What are you doing? Are you planning to expand your business in the provincial capital? Brother, I still advise you to focus on Donghai and Dongyang for now, because our strength is not yet sufficient. If we go out into the world, we will be easily attacked by others. If we try to compete with them, we will expose ourselves, which is really not a good idea."
Zhao Qiang said, "I understand. Our growth period is still too short. Once the youth health products and Qimingdeng Electronics have grown for a while longer, we can use them to make acquisitions and expand the company like a snowball."
Wei said, "Yes, that's the safest approach. However, both companies currently have a limited range of products, and we need to find a way to address that. But good products require our own hands-on involvement, which is not good for future development."
"That's quite a contradiction, brother."
Zhao Qiang also had a headache. For example, the slimming tea wouldn't have any magical effect without Zhao Qiang and Wei providing the mother tea. Zhao Qiang said helplessly, "Let's talk about it later. This trip to the provincial capital is to help Liu Yiyi repair a few computer embroidery machines."
Wei giggled, "Oh, it's Liu Yiyi! And there are pictures of her too. Do you want to review them, brother?" Zhao Qiang blushed a little, "Forget it, she looks better in person than in photos."
Wei laughed: "Brother, did you have such a strong desire to go to the provincial capital this time? There's not much to see if the real person doesn't take off their clothes."
Zhao Qiang said bluntly, "We have a purely business relationship. You're getting the wrong idea."
When Zhao Qiang returned to the office, Xu Xiaoya had just come back from shopping and was busy putting snacks into Zhao Qiang's drawer. Zhao Qiang was always busy eating, and Xu Xiaoya would go out shopping almost every one or two days. Zhao Qiang's large desk drawer was deep and big. The top drawer was full of cigarettes: Panda, Suyuan, Nanjing, and Yellow Crane Tower. The rest were snacks, and the drawer was full of chocolates.
"By the way, Qiang, I got you a new laptop bag. Try it out."
Xu Xiaoya took out a backpack from the shopping bag. This backpack was much more sophisticated than the old one. The old backpack that Zhao Qiang carried looked very tacky and was too big. In addition to holding a laptop, it could also stuff hundreds of thousands of yuan in cash.
This tells us about its capacity.
Zhao Qiang went back to his workroom to retrieve his laptop, then put it in his bag and tried it out. It fit perfectly, and there was still enough space to put other things, such as cigarettes and chocolates.
This bag, which he carried on his shoulder, upgraded Zhao Qiang from a toilet repairman to a salesman. These days, don't all salesmen carry one of these things?
Xu Xiaoya straightened Zhao Qiang's disheveled collar, her attentive manner befitting a wife.
Zhao Qiang was somewhat touched: "Thank you, Ya."
Xu Xiaoya's face was beaming with happiness. She was very happy to be able to do more for Zhao Qiang. "No need to thank me. Come to my house for dinner tonight. My dad said you met at the Luo family banquet at noon."
But we didn't discuss it in detail.
Zhao Qiang didn't refuse, "Okay, have you bought the things?" Xu Xiaoya: "Yes, I know you don't drink, so this time I bought cosmetics for my mother."
Zhao Qiang said, "Then you don't need it."
Xu Xiaoya said, "Yes, I need some, but I still have some left. I'll buy more later."
Zhao Qiang said, "I just made some money again. What do you need? I'll buy it for you."
Xu Xiaoya grabbed Zhao Qiang's collar and hugged him. She wasn't much shorter than Zhao Qiang, so there wasn't much difference in height between them when they hugged. Xu Xiaoya said, "I have money, so don't waste it. We'll need money for many things in the future."
Zhao Qiang laughed and said, "Hehe, I can make money, so don't be reluctant to spend it."
Xu Xiaoya thought for a moment and said, "Well, then buy me the best set of cosmetics. I want to dress myself up beautifully every day so that you'll feel comfortable looking at me and I won't embarrass you when I go out."
Zhao Qiang thought for a moment: "The best cosmetics? Do they even exist? You look better than them even without makeup."
Xu Xiaoya placed her finger near Zhao Qiang's lips, "You've got honey on your lips, so sweet-talking!" "Let me think about it," she said. "Since we can make slimming tea, then perhaps Ce Fanzhi could also make some cosmetics. That's also a woman's favorite. After eliminating fat and waste, what do we do? Naturally, we protect our appearance." "Hmm."
"Lend me the cosmetics you bought first." Actually, with Zhao Qiang's current transformation capabilities, plus Wei's help, providing millions of slimming tea samples every day is a piece of cake, and it wouldn't even take him an hour or two of transformation time. However, Zhao Qiang didn't want to do that. Scarcity increases value. Although the price remains the same, it will greatly boost the reputation of the youth health product company. Since he can't increase the production of slimming tea, it's important to start a new project.
Xu Xiaoya didn't dare to delay Zhao Qiang's work.
Zhao Qiang immediately delivered the cosmetics he had bought for his mother and took them back to his workroom. Xu Xiaoya obediently stayed outside to wait. She wasn't in a hurry at all, because even if her father was waiting anxiously at home, he wouldn't complain about Zhao Qiang anymore. Now, Xu Liming practically treated Zhao Qiang like royalty. Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoya secretly smiled. Did she not know what her father was thinking? Wasn't it Zhao Qiang who could decide his future and career?
Thinking about how good Zhao was to her, Xu Xiaoya felt like the sun was shining brightly on her happy night. She was very glad that she stayed by Zhao Qiang's side. If she had let go of Zhao Qiang a little back then, who knows what the result would be now? It seems that it's not a bad thing for a woman to be a little shameless.
Zhao Qiang reopened his laptop. Wei, of course, had overheard his conversation with Xu Xiaoya. "Brother," she said, "if we use the method of making slimming tea to upgrade and transform cosmetics, then the final factory production method will still require mixing the base material with ordinary products; otherwise, it won't be effective." Zhao Qiang replied, "I know, but there's no other way right now. Anyway, we both have plenty of time, so let's just be more diligent." Wei smiled and said, "I can handle it myself. Brother can free up time to do other things. Also, I'm considering putting more effort into the software industry. That doesn't require base material support; once it's completed, we can hand it over to Hu Qian for operation and maintenance." Zhao Qiang nodded, "However, the promotion and popularization of software takes time; there needs to be a user awareness process. So, for now, we should focus on the real economy, but of course, we also need to invest enough in the software industry. I think we can also do some upgrades on normal household appliances."
"Of course, I'm referring to things like chargers, products that don't require you or me to operate behind the scenes; they can be manufactured on ordinary production lines."
Wei thought for a moment and said, "Then let's modify the most common TV set. Since we are not a hardware manufacturer, we can only use our brains on the software side."
Zhao Qiang put down the cosmetics, rested his head on his hand, and thought for a moment. "I think you should have a voice recognition system that can be integrated into the TV remote control function to enable voice control of TV programs, such as turning them on and off, changing channels, adjusting volume, adjusting colors, and so on."
Inspired by this, Wei said, "If we create a voice control database, then all home appliances can be converted to voice control, not just television remotes."
Zhao Qiang laughed: "Then Luo Wei will be very busy, right? Expanding the voice control system production line will be an urgent matter."
Wei jumped and danced on the screen with joy, "Brother, look how great we are! We come up with great ideas so easily. I'll open the voice recognition database right away."
This requires a lot of dialect audio support online, and I even need to open an international version, so you can modify the cosmetics yourself. This is not difficult for you. Just repeat the slimming tea modification program. The deviation can be corrected after collecting the usage results. It is indeed not a difficult task. Zhao Qiang modified the slimming tea program according to the dosage of the moisturizing and whitening cream in front of him. The whole process took only a dozen minutes. However, Zhao Qiang was not sure about the effect at the moment, so he called Zhang Lingfeng. It was better to let him do the experiment. After all, he had the most women on his side.
Zhao Qiang left the studio with the moisturizing and whitening cream and saw Luo Wei crying in Xu Xiaoya's arms. She felt a little embarrassed to see Zhao Qiang. Xu Xiaoya said to Zhao Qiang, "Qiang, Uncle Wei and Aunt Wei went too far! You spoke so casually when you came back at noon, I never imagined it was so dramatic. Why didn't you teach Cui and the others a lesson?" Luo Wei replied to Xu Xiaoya, "Xiaoya, Zhao Qiang has already avenged me, don't say anything to him."
Xu Xiaoya laughed and said, "What, you feel sorry for him even more than I do?" Luo Wei blushed and said, "Of course not, I just feel sorry for Zhao Qiang. My second uncle must hold a grudge against him." Xu Xiaoya said, "The more afraid you are of your second uncle, the more arrogant he will become. If he dares to provoke you again, we will all stand up for you."
"Thank you, Xiaoya."
Luo Wei was deeply moved, and she was even more determined not to do what her grandfather had suggested—how could she face the kind-hearted Xu Xiaoya if she did!
Volume 2 [244] Luo Xiaowei was injured in the accident.
…Zifeng rushed over excitedly and said, “Master, what’s going on? Hey, you two aren’t…Er Baihe, are you? Why are you hugging each other again? Master, so you like watching this!” Zhang Lingfeng shouted when he saw Xu Xiaoya hugging Luo Wei.
Luo Wei blushed and broke free from Xu Xiaoya's embrace. Xu Xiaoya grabbed something and threw it at Zhang Lingfeng: "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!" Zhao Qiang knew that Zhang Anfeng's sharp tongue was as worthless as his character. He shoved the moisturizing and whitening cream into Zhang Lingfeng's hand: "Go back and find a woman to try it. The procedure is the same as last time with the slimming tea. Record the whole process for me."
Zhang Lingfeng first examined the bottle in his hand and said, "Master, you've finally launched a new product! Is this for your face, your butt, or something else?" Zhao Qiang was furious: "For both!" Do you even have cosmetics for your butt or anything? Zhang Lingfeng accepted the order, "Alright, Master, don't worry, I'll definitely record it for you with a high-definition camera. Just wait and see the show!" Xu Xiaoya and Luo Wei went into the bedroom together. They hated Zhang Lingfeng's words and actions to the extreme, but since Zhao Qiang trusted him, they could only avoid seeing him and ignoring him.
Zhao Qiang said to Zhang Lingfeng, "I have something to do in the provincial capital tomorrow, and I should be able to return on the same day. But just in case, I'll give you the mother tea for the next few days all at once. But you have to control it well. It's 10,000 servings every day, without fail."
Zhang Lingfeng said, "No problem, Master. I'm not the kind of person who's greedy for money."
"By the way, Master, is this new thing you're making as magical as slimming tea?" Zhao Qiang was only making theoretical deductions, so how could he possibly know the actual effects? He replied, "I don't know either. Otherwise, why would I have you experiment? Be careful to keep it a secret. This is the base. Don't use too much. If it works, you can add more. It will definitely be better than ordinary moisturizing and whitening cream."
Follow the same procedure as you would for a slimming tea.
Zhang Lingfeng patted his chest and said, "I understand. Will the sales of this kind of cosmetic also be limited in the future?" Zhao Qiang said, "Yes, anyway, we will launch other series, so there is no need to keep increasing the quantity. We want to take the high-end route. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. You have to beg us shamelessly. Do you think European royalty and American celebrities will be begging you to be beautiful?" Zhao Qiang was very good at doing Zhang Lingfeng's ideological work.
Zhang Lingfeng leaned closer and whispered in Zhao Qiang's ear, "Master, I have several virgins who are willing to trade their first time for ten servings of slimming tea. As long as you nod your head, I'll send them all to your bed tonight. I guarantee they're all beautiful. I've already eliminated all the ugly ones."
Zhao Qiang waved his hand: "Get lost!" Zhang Lingfeng knew Zhao Qiang wasn't interested, so he grabbed the moisturizing and whitening cream and ran off. On the way, he was still considering what name to use this time. The previous Honey Peak slimming tea had already made a name for itself, so with the groundwork laid, he didn't have to worry about the same lukewarm reception as the early slimming teas when they first hit the market. What should he call it? "Lady"? "Mature Woman"? Or "Beauty"? Zhao Qiang went back to his room to change clothes; he couldn't just go to his mother-in-law's house casually.
At this moment, in Luo Wei's bedroom, Luo Wei was chatting with Xu Xiaoya while rubbing her chest with one hand from time to time, frowning and occasionally gasping for breath. Xu Xiaoya asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Luo Wei explained, "I was in a car accident this morning and hit my chest. I've been feeling really uncomfortable since noon."
Xu Xiaoya exclaimed in surprise, "Quickly take off your clothes and take a look! How could you be so careless? Did you go to the hospital for an X-ray?" Luo Wei replied, "I didn't go to the hospital. There were just too many things to do today, and I didn't have time to deal with it."
Xu Xiaoya said anxiously, "Then hurry up and take off your clothes."
Let's see what's going on first. If it's necessary, you must go to the hospital for treatment. What can I say about you? You don't know how to take care of yourself at all.
Taking off clothes? Even though we're the same sex, it's still embarrassing. Luo Wei blushed and said, "No need. Maybe the swelling will go down by tomorrow. I'll rub it and I'll feel much better."
Xu Xiaoya said nervously, "Are they all swollen? Then we need to take a closer look. Take them off!" As she spoke, Xu Xiaoya took matters into her own hands. Summer clothes were originally thin, and Luo Wei had changed into a shirt. Xu Xiaoya rolled it up from her waist, revealing her bra, a clever sky-blue style, a half-cup style with lace trim.
Judging from the exposed breast tissue, the breast tissue on the side that is larger than the other has an abnormal color.
Luo Wei pointed to the larger side and said, "It crashed into this side."
There's a lump inside; it hurts when I touch it, and it feels bloated and stuffy if I don't touch it. I'm too embarrassed to go to the hospital to get it checked, so I'll just leave it alone. The swelling should go down in a couple of days.
While saying that Luo Wei should put down her clothes so that Xu Xiaoya could see her like that, she felt so ashamed that she wanted to disappear.
Xu Xiaoya didn't care about anything else. She unhooked Luo Wei's bra and took off the two shoulder straps from the front, so that she could remove the bra from her body without taking off her clothes.
Xu Xiaoya complained, "Why are you still wearing it when it's so swollen? You don't take care of yourself at all! Do you know how much it will affect your life if it breaks? Men care a lot about women's private parts!" If it really broke, Luo Wei would also be scared. "Xiaoya, no, no way, don't scare me. It's just swollen." Xu Xiaoya said, "What do you mean 'just swollen'? Do you know how many women get breast cancer? It's all because of your carelessness and not taking your body seriously."
Luo Wei was almost in tears. "What should I do?" Xu Xiaoya reached out and touched Luo Wei's apple-shaped breasts, saying, "Two lumps. Look at how swollen your breasts are. Is it alright? If they get any bigger, you could breastfeed your baby!" Xu Xiaoya herself felt that what she said was quite vulgar and couldn't help but chuckle. Luo Wei blushed and gently slapped Xu Xiaoya's hand. "Sister Xiaoya, what are you saying! Be careful your Zhao Qiang hears this. He'll start to suspect something between us again. Didn't you think the misunderstanding last time was enough?"
Xu Xiaoya casually touched Luo Wei's other breast. The feel was indeed much more bouncy than her own. Some are better, and big ones are wonderful. Xu Xiaoya chuckled and said, "Actually, I don't think Zhao Qiang is angry at all. He seems to be a little resentful that he didn't see you touching me and Sister Yiyi. When have you ever shown him touching me? He said he was quite envious of you, holding two voluptuous women at the same time."
Who could enjoy this? Luo Wei was almost crying with embarrassment: "I'm ignoring you!" Xu Xiaoya let go and said, "Okay, I was just teasing you. Your breasts are fine. Luckily, they're both not very tall, otherwise you would have been in even worse shape if you bumped into them. Cover yourself with a blanket first. I'll call a friend to ask about the situation. If necessary, we can go to the hospital for an X-ray." "I'm not going!" Luo Wei was very determined. Although she could let Xu Xiaoya see and touch her body, she was afraid that even if the doctor at the hospital was a woman, she would still let others touch her. Women's psychology is really strange.
"Hmm, it didn't grow naturally; I did bump it, and the lump is a bit hard." "Would applying a warm compress help?" "Okay, I'll let her try." Xu Xiaoya hung up the phone and said to Luo Wei, "Consider yourself lucky. My friend said to try a warm compress first. If nothing unexpected happens, you should see the swelling go down by tomorrow morning. Otherwise, you really should go to the hospital."
Luo Wei was holding a towel, her two long, beautiful legs exposed, and her breasts, no longer covered by a bra, were only covered by a thin shirt.
The two dots on her forehead were clearly visible. She said pitifully, "Thank you, Sister Xiaoya." Xu Xiaoya went to get a hot water bottle. "Who told you to call me 'sister'? Besides, so many things have happened in your family. If I don't help you, who will?" Zhao Qiang changed his clothes and went to Wang Meng's room to chat for a while. Xu Xiaoya was calling from outside the door. Zhao Qiang opened the door and said, "Shall we go?"
Xu Xiaoya said, "Find a hot water bottle, there are some over here." Zhao Qiang said, "Why do you need a hot water bottle? It's so hot, you'll need it to warm your hands." Xu Xiaoya said, "Never mind, it'll be useful."
Zhao Qiang said, "Liu Jia has some in the duty room. Go ask him for some. There's hot water in the water dispenser. If you don't have enough, you can boil some in the kitchen. Actually, there's a good electric hand warmer or electric hot water bottle."
It's easy to use, but it's hard to buy in the hot summer. Fortunately, it's easy to fill a regular hot water bottle with hot water. A dozen minutes later, Xu Xiaoya came to call Zhao Qiang, and the two of them drove Xu Xiaoya's car straight to her house.
Xu Xiaoya used her key to open the door and enter the house. Xu Liming was on the phone in the study. "Can't log in. What a crappy network. I'll call Lao Ou from China Unicom in a bit. What's going on? Is this service even worth doing?" Xu Xiaoya called out, "Dad."
What's wrong? Zhao Qiang is here. What are you doing hiding in the study? Xu Liming immediately hung up the phone and ran out to greet him: "Zhao is here! Come on, sit down! I'm so angry! I just wanted to go online but it keeps saying the network can't be opened. I'll call the district Unicom company in a bit and have them send someone to take a look." Xu Xiaoya smiled and said: "Dad, why bother with all that?"
Zhao Qiang is the best repairman! Let him take a look. Xu Liming said, "How could I? Zhao Qiang is a guest here. It's alright, one call and they'll be here right away." Zhao Qiang had just sat down when he immediately stood up and said, "Uncle, let me take a look. If it can be fixed, it'll only take a few seconds. If it can't be fixed, then we can have them come."
Xu Liming said, "Alright, thank you for your help, Zhao."
District Chief Xu was extremely polite; he didn't dare treat Zhao Qiang like an ordinary son-in-law at all.
Zhao Qiang entered the study, and Xu Xiaoya introduced it to him: "A regular telephone."
Regarding the internet, we later added a 4-in-1 broadband router for convenience, and the signal is usually fine for me. Haha, I guess my dad has bad luck; it often malfunctions when he uses it.
Xu Liming glared at his daughter: "How can you talk about your father like that? How could I, with such a bad character, have given birth to such a good daughter as you?" This is typical self-praise.
