Chapter 12 Compromise

When Xi Mufeng returned to the Xi family home, the house was in chaos. Everyone had been sent out to look for Xi Mufeng.

Xu Qing was anxiously pacing in circles. Suddenly, she saw that Xi Mufeng had returned. She hurriedly went up and grabbed Xi Mufeng's hand and said, "Xiaofeng, where did you run off to! You scared me so much! How's your forehead? Did you go to the hospital?" She saw that the wound on Xi Mufeng's forehead had been patched up.

"Yes, Mom, I'm fine." Xi Mufeng reassured Xu Qing.

As soon as she turned around, Xu Qing became very angry. "Xi Mingyu, are you satisfied with seeing your son like this?" She shouted loudly towards Xi Mingyu, who was sitting on the sofa.

One of the most famous men in South City was also frowning tightly now. He couldn't make it make sense in his mind. How come he can manage a city well, but couldn't take care of his own son?

"Tell me, what do you want?" He sighed and asked in a low voice.

"I won't get engaged to Mo Zhuyang, but I can promise you that if I don't get into a college that satisfies you, I can go into the army. " Xi Mufeng sat opposite his father and said seriously.

"The Mo family is a good match for us, and we all watched Yangyang grow up. Isn't she beautiful? Why on earth would you disagree?" Xi Mingtu asked, completely puzzled.

Xi Mufeng was silent.

Xi Mingyu rubbed his forehead, exhausted, "Fine, fine, let it be. Just remember what you said. I hope that by then you will act like a man. Make good on your promises!"

XI Mufeng nodded gravely.

Father and son finally stopped being at each other's throat. Xi Mingyu instructed Xu Qing to take good care of Xi Mufeng's injuries, then left.

Xu Qing said to Xi Mufeng in a serious and caring tone, "Xiaofeng, no matter what you want, you first need to make yourself strong, okay? Does your forehead still hurt?"

"Mom, I'm really fine."

All parents wanted their children to be a success, and as Xi Mufeng's mother, she naturally did what was best for him. However, the older this child gets, the more ideas he has for himself.

She and his father would always feel guilty for not being able to be with him all the time, and that caused more and more awkward tension between them as time went on.

In the Mo family, Mo Zhuyang lost her good-natured and cute appearance she puts on in front of outsiders and became much colder and more domineering. She coldly asked people to check Xiang Lianyi's background.

The result was that she actually found out that Xiang Lianyi was just an ordinary girl, although she was quite good-looking.

A tailor's daughter, with a father at home who had an eye disease, and a younger brother who was still in school.

"Tsk, Xiang Lianyi!" Mo Zhuyang tossed the information onto the coffee table with disdain.

She turned her head and gave a few mysterious orders.



It had been a long time since the day she made her promise with Xu Qing, but Xiang Lianyi still did not have any information regarding a factory.

Just as she had no clue what to do, someone suddenly came to her door. "Hello, we are the people in charge of the Liangli Ready-to-Wear Factory."

Qin Zhu was cooking at that time. She glanced at Xiang Lianyi, wiped her hands dry, and accepted the card from the two.

"Hello, you're..."

Qin Zhu was confused. She hadn't approached them and didn't know what they were visiting her for.

"Here's the thing, we've made inquiries, and we were told that your craft is the best in the area. We are currently trying to expand our factory nationwide. We might have to work with you in this part of the city, so we've come to pay you a visit."

Xiang Lianyi heard their southern accents and her heart was touch. She looked at their business cards and her mind overflowed with happiness. This really is an excellent opportunity that came just in time.

They had been looking for a good manufacturer to work with for so long, and now one has landed on their doorstep.

She discreetly squeezed Qin Zhu's said, then smiled at the two, "Hey, it's such a nice coincidence that you came here. We've also been recently looking for a manufacturer we could work with. I didn't expect you to come to my door."

"Oh? What kind of things do you need?" One of them was visibly interested.

"It's like this..." Xiang Lianyi clearly explained what they needed to the two.

"This quantity is too easy for us. You know, our factories take orders by the thousands."

"Oh? That's great, so are we..."

Before Xiang Lianyi could finish her words, one of them said with some difficulty, "Your numbers are a little too small..."

"Please, do us a favor. We can pay the deposit upfront. It's not a big order, but it can be done easily. I don't think it will hold up your production of other orders." Qin Zhu said anxiously at the side.

For the past days, she watched Xiang Lianyi running around anxiously to find a factory. She couldn't help her much. There was finally a factory they might be able to work with and she did not want this opportunity to slip away from them.

Those two looked at each other. "Not that it's not impossible. How about this? You guys pay a 60% deposit, so we'll be able to vouch for you when we go back. Although your order is quite small, we can call it a favor for a friend. In the future, we would need your cooperation in this area."

"That is no problem. Whatever you need from us, just say so. We will cooperate to our fullest capability."

There was no reason for Qin Zhu not to agree to something that was mutually beneficial to both sides.

As for the sixty percent deposit....

The two people brought Qin Zhu and Xiang Lianyi to their branch factory in South City. The industrialized factory area made Qin Zhu look on in awe. Machines sure are much faster than human hands.
