Chapter 2480 What should we do if we can't get the goods?

Chapter 2480

"But the problem is we can't get the goods either."

“It’s been three days since you last shipped something to me.”

"After the last shipment sold out, we ran out of stock and had to hide."

"Otherwise, if they push them too far, they'll just lose their temper and start cursing."

"My siblings and I are also helpless."

Guan Rui then said, "We've already discussed moving."

"However, although these two deals made money, it was a case of small profits but quick turnover, so the profits weren't much."

“In a place like Hong Kong, where land is incredibly valuable, it’s extremely difficult to buy a decent office building or even a small courtyard.”

"We don't know where to move to, and we're really worried about it."

At this point, Qiao Liancheng rubbed his temples and said, "Yes, this is indeed a sweet trouble."

Jiang Wan, who was standing nearby, was amused when she heard him say this and saw his expression.

She poked Qiao Liancheng's forehead with her finger and said, "You're so funny, even with sweet troubles."

"Now that I'm here, let's resolve this matter."

She paused for a moment and then said, "Tomorrow you guys go and choose a place, and we'll rent a place to use as the company's office building."

"No, property prices aren't too high right now, let's just buy it! We're not short of money anyway!"

"There will be other products in the future. Right now it's an electronic watch, but other electronic products will come out one after another."

“By then, we can’t all come to your little courtyard and make it look like a makeshift troupe, which is not proper at all.”

Guan Rui and Guan Xinyan were immediately delighted upon hearing this.

Guan Rui said, "So you're saying you'll invest in us long-term and even make us your agents in the future?"

Jade Kwan said, "I knew my sister would definitely cooperate with us for a long time."

"My sister said she wants me to become her Hong Kong agent, not just an agent for one of her products, but an agent for her entire company."

"My brother still doesn't believe it. These past two days, he's been dreaming about it constantly, worried that the goods won't be delivered to us tomorrow, and we won't have anything to sell."

Jiang Wan laughed upon hearing this, then turned to Guan Rui and said, "Why are you, a grown man, still so anxious?"

"Don't worry, I don't know many people in Hong Kong."

"You are the ones I trust the most."

“Once the company is properly established, the two of you will be the company’s founding members.”

"From now on, as long as you have my meat to eat, you will definitely have a sip of soup to drink."

Jade Kwan said dejectedly, "Why won't you give me a piece of meat? You have to give me soup instead."

Jiang Wan winked mischievously and said, "The best and most nutritious part of a pot of food is actually the soup. The meat is just dry stuff."

Upon hearing this, Jade Kwan burst into laughter.

Actually, everyone knows it was all a joke; they're not the kind of people who take things to heart.

After finishing these trivial matters, Guan Rui asked, "You two didn't say you wanted to come here."

"What brings you here this time? Is there anything we can help you with?"

Jiang Wan said, "There really is something."

"How much do you know about the Qiao family?"

Guan Rui said, "You asked about the Qiao family when you came here last time."

“At the time, we had limited resources and didn’t know much. After you left, we learned some things, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally. We actually learned some of the Qiao family’s secrets.”

Jiang Wan perked up immediately upon hearing this, realizing that coming here was definitely the right thing to do.

She nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, tell me in detail what you know."

Guan Rui's words surprised even Jiang Wan.

Unexpectedly, Guan Rui and Guan Xinyan, these two siblings, are quite skilled at gathering intelligence.

According to Guan Rui, he didn't know the background of the Qiao family's patriarch, but there were indeed some problems with this patriarch.

About five years ago, the head of the family contracted a strange illness.

What is this strange disease? Nobody knows.

All I know is that every two weeks, he would go to Fragrant Hills, which is not far away, and stay in the temple on the mountain for three days.

No one was allowed to go during those three days. Once, a woman, hoping to climb the social ladder and get married into the Qiao family, specifically chose this time to go.

But after she went inside, she screamed in agony all night.

When the woman came out again the next day, she was completely exhausted and covered in blood.

Later, someone secretly found out that the woman's skin had been peeled off.

Yes, that's right.

It's the kind of thing where they peel off a person's outer layer of skin, leaving only the underlying tissues and fascia.

But after the skin was peeled off, the woman was still alive.

One can only imagine the torment they suffered.

The woman died three days after being sent back.

She died wailing incessantly, and her family received a large sum of money as hush money.

They simply threw the woman into the crematorium, and after she burned out, they didn't bother with her anymore.

The matter was dropped, and no one pursued it further.

Guan Rui paused for a moment and then said, "I suspect that the head of the family may be suffering from some kind of strange illness, but we have no idea what it is."

He paused, then added, "There's another piece of gossip."

"This patriarch brought back an adopted daughter, who claimed to be adopted, but everyone knew the truth in their hearts."

"She must be the illegitimate daughter of the Qiao family."

"This illegitimate daughter has quite a messy private life. I heard she goes to nightclubs often, and every time she goes there she goes to see the young master."

At this point, Guan Rui looked at his younger sister.

He lip-read to Qiao Liancheng, saying, "It's the kind of young master who lets you touch him when he takes off his clothes."

"I heard that Qiao Xinran will also be selecting concubines."

"She would gather all the young, handsome, and good-looking men together almost every few months, and then screen them through layers of selection."

"The selection process was no less rigorous than the selection of imperial concubines in ancient palaces."

"In addition to requirements for height, body shape and appearance, it is also specifically required that the person be pink."

Even Jiang Wan was shocked when Guan Rui said this.

She wouldn't even dare to write something like this in her novels, yet Qiao Xinran dared to do such a thing.

She leaned closer, her eyes wide, and asked, "Could this Qiao Xinran also be a novelist? We're just ordinary people, yet we know to be selective about who we're talking about."

Qiao Liancheng, who was standing nearby, heard this and his face turned dark.

He reached out and pulled Jiang Wan's neck into his arms, covering her ears and saying, "Don't listen to this."

Jiang Wan was so angry that she bared her teeth and claws, trying to break free from his grasp, but Qiao Liancheng wouldn't listen to her at all.

In terms of strength, Jiang Wan could never compare to him.

Although her ears were plugged, she could still hear some of what Guan Rui was saying.

Guan Rui continued, "I was also shocked when I heard this news."

“Once, I happened to be there when she was selecting concubines. Just over 10 days ago, I went to take a look through my connections.”

Upon hearing this, Jade Kwan, who had been quietly drinking tea nearby, immediately widened her eyes and turned around to look at her brother in astonishment.
