Chapter 95 Feeling Guilt
Chapter 95 Feeling Guilt
Hua Wenxia was stunned when she saw the profit-sharing clause in the contract.
"MeiMei, didn't you say our son-in-law would help us? How come it's you now?"
Hua Meimei sat on the sofa and took a sip of the latte that Aunt Zhang had made for her.
She casually retorted, "When did my husband say he would help you?"
Hua Wenxia and Lin Cuilan exchanged glances, realizing that Luo Jiuyu had indeed never agreed to help them in any way.
Lin Cuilan knew perfectly well what was going on, but dared not reveal anything.
Hua Wenxia said, "He already has feelings for you, so the rumors about him and Mu Siran are just rumors, right?"
"Yes, it's just a rumor." Hua Meimei took another sip of coffee; freshly ground coffee always smells so good.
Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Hua Wenxia was annoyed: "If that's the case, and he acknowledges me as his father-in-law, why doesn't he step in to help me?"
“You are his father-in-law, so isn’t it only natural that he acknowledges you? But why does he have to help you? I am your daughter, so isn’t it even more natural for me to help you?”
Hua Wenxia was left speechless by what Hua Meimei said.
“Luo Jiuyu manages such a large group of businesses, he’s extremely busy, and the deals he personally negotiates are all worth billions. Do you think he has time to bother with your small factory?”
"..."
"Besides, for a man as outstanding as him, changing wives would be a piece of cake. Do you really think your daughter has the ability to keep him loving her forever?"
Even if she has the ability, she still needs to make Hua Wenxia think that she doesn't.
She didn't want her family to rely on Luo Jiuyu and have to ask him for money or favors every now and then.
That would only damage her relationship with Luo Jiuyu.
Even if Luo Jiuyu doesn't mind, she herself will.
"Anyway, in Dad's eyes, I've always been a useless daughter. Isn't that right?" She put down her coffee cup and looked up at Hua Wenxia.
Hua Wenxia, whose thoughts had been exposed, coughed twice, slightly embarrassed.
"In short, your share is too much, I won't agree."
The contract stipulated a 7:3 profit split. She wanted 70%, and the Hua family 30%.
If Hua Wenxia agrees to sign the contract, she can help him sell all the snacks before the New Year.
Hua Meimei said, "The end of the year is approaching. These snacks in your factory are perfect for selling as New Year's goods. What's the point of selling them after the New Year? Do you think many people will still buy them after the New Year? Who eats snacks as meals every day?"
Snacks all have an expiration date, and his snacks have been piling up for quite some time, so they're probably about to expire.
We'll sell them slowly after the New Year; they'll expire in a few months, and then they'll be even harder to sell.
She was confident in these points, which is why she dared to ask for such a high share of the profits.
Lin Cuilan naturally disagreed, but she did not raise any objections.
This surprised Hua Meimei quite a bit. How could that wicked woman be so obedient?
Hua Wenxia was also puzzled by Lin Cuilan's reaction. Lin Cuilan remained silent, which made him unsure of what to do.
He asked Lin Cuilan in a low voice, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Lin Cuilan asked helplessly, "What do you want me to say?"
She was afraid that if Luo Jiuyu found out she had offended Hua Meimei, she would be in big trouble.
Regret and hatred!
They were so eager for Hua Meimei to marry Luo Jiuyu. Look how much they regret it now!
But if we hadn't done that back then, we wouldn't have been able to come up with the 30 million we owed the Luo family, and the factory might have gone bankrupt even sooner.
Lin Cuilan closed her eyes in annoyance. "Husband, I have no objection. You can decide for yourself."
The factory was about to go bankrupt, and Luo Jiuyu made it clear that he was unwilling to help. Lin Cuilan knew this was her last chance, so she decided to go along with Hua Meimei's request.
First, save the factory. As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.
Since his wife had said so, Hua Wenxia had no better options. After thinking for a moment, he signed and stamped the contract, making two copies.
Hua Meimei happily took her copy of the contract.
"Dad, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you. Please compile the information and samples of the products you want to sell, and send them to my company along with the test reports. I will arrange for someone to go to your factory and warehouse to sell them immediately."
"Start the live stream today?" Hua Wenxia felt it was too rushed.
"Yes, I'll go live myself." Since all the other streamers in her company were busy selling their own stock, she had to go live herself, using her own account, along with Huang Ya and Xiao Hei.
Quick, decisive, and accurate has always been Hua Meimei's style. She dislikes procrastination. "If you're two days slower, you'll lose tens of millions in sales. Think about it!"
Upon hearing this, Hua Wenxia had no reason to disagree. "I'll have my subordinates arrange it immediately."
Hua Meimei is full of confidence: "I guarantee that I will clear out all your stock a week before the courier service stops operating at the end of the year. I will ensure that all customers receive their products before the courier service stops operating."
Hua Wenxia looked at her with a skeptical expression: "Meimei, are you really that amazing? Don't just give me empty promises."
"Whether it is or not, we'll find out soon enough," Hua Meimei scoffed.
Just do it.
All the preparations for the live stream were completed, and Hua Meimei officially started her live stream at the Hua family's factory.
Hua Wenxia was worried, so she stayed at the factory to watch her live stream.
Every time she introduces a snack and shares the link, thousands of units in stock are snapped up instantly.
Then more people complained that they hadn't managed to buy any, so they released more stock.
The whole process takes less than five minutes, and she can sell three thousand bags of snacks.
This stunned Hua Wenxia.
I worked so hard, begging for orders everywhere, but I couldn't sell my old stock and couldn't produce new stock. I even hired livestreamers to sell my goods, but I changed them several times, and the goods I sold weren't even enough to pay their salaries.
I never expected my daughter to have such a skill, selling so much inventory so easily.
Her snack combos were popular with fans, and the bundled sales made them sell even faster. Hua Wenxia discovered that Hua Meimei had a deep understanding of the snack preferences of today's young people.
This is precisely the market sensitivity that he and Lin Cuilan lacked.
I originally intended to nurture Hua An'an into a successful person so that the factory could be handed over to my son in the future.
Contrary to expectations, his son proved to be a complete disappointment, and it seemed he couldn't even afford to buy a degree.
The situation is already so bad, yet Hua An'an is still out fooling around with other people and not coming home every day.
What will happen to Hua An'an and Lin Cuilan if Hua An'an, who has accomplished nothing, fails to graduate and goes home to sponge off his parents?
If the factory really goes bankrupt, the family of three will starve!
Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, it is his daughter, whom he had never valued, who has taken on the responsibility.
Hua Wenxia watched her daughter diligently selling snacks in front of the camera. For six hours, she didn't eat, drink, or go to the bathroom, and her mouth kept talking, yet she was still full of energy...
He had to admit that she was really hardworking and excellent.
Over the years, he completely missed out on the time he could have spent watching his daughter grow up. He poured all his money and love into Lin Cuilan and Hua An'an, and what did he end up raising...?
He couldn't help but feel guilty towards Hua Meimei, and before he knew it, his eyes were a little moist.
When Hua Meimei finished her live stream, it was already 8 PM. Before coming, she had told Luo Jiuyu that she had to work overtime and that he didn't need to wait for her to come home for dinner.
Luo Jiuyu happened to have a social engagement and didn't go home.
When he finished his work and returned home, Hua Meimei was already there.
She looked exhausted, curled up on the sofa in her pajamas, playing on her phone. As soon as he came in and took off his coat, she came over and draped herself over him, wrapping her legs around his waist.
He held her tightly to prevent her from falling.
She buried her head in his shoulder and murmured, "You're back. Sleep with me."
He could smell the wonderful fragrance of her hair and couldn't help but kiss her head.
She wanted him to lull her to sleep.
"What did you do tonight, my little darling? You look so tired." He asked with concern as he carried her back to the master bedroom.
