After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 2408

Chapter 2408: Trouble in the Workshop

“Concerned about her? Why would I care about her! I’m just worried about you! Who knows if you have to get involved to deal with all those troublesome matters of hers,” Xia Zhe said.

The capital was not too peaceful recently and Xia Zhe did not want Qiao Mei to go running around. Moreover, Qiao Mei had not gone through her confinement period well after giving birth to Xia Yang. Even though they had “magical pills” at home, he was still worried about her.

Qiao Mei understood what Xia Zhe meant. She held his hand and comforted him, saying, “Don’t worry, I won’t go far. I’ll just go to the factory tomorrow to take a look.”

The couple handed the children to Feng Hua so that they could go back to their room and have a good night’s sleep. As they lay down on the bed, Xia Zhe put his hands on Qiao Mei’s waist and said with some heartache, “You’ve lost so much weight.”

“It’s fine. I’ll gain back the weight in two days if I eat properly,” Qiao Mei said to comfort him.

Gradually, Xia Zhe’s hands started to wander up and down Qiao Mei’s body. Then he suddenly sat up and said, “You… your confinement period has been so disrupted. Perhaps we can’t do this!”

Qiao Mei did not say anything, but by right, she should not be doing this during her confinement period. Xia Zhe immediately covered Qiao Mei with a blanket.

“Are you feeling very repressed?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.

“It’s fine, I’m not,” Xia Zhe said as he patted Qiao Mei.

Early the next morning, Xia Zhe drove Qian’e and Qiao Mei to the factory. The moment they reached the main entrance, Qiao Mei saw a chaotic scene. The security officers were not at their posts and there was no one doing checks at the door.

“Have you changed out all the security officers?” Qiao Mei turned to look at Qian’e and asked her.

“No, I didn’t give any orders!” Qian’e said in surprise.

However, Qian’e had been away on a business trip for the past half a month. Perhaps the Qian family members had taken advantage of this opportunity to get up to no good.

“Let’s go in and take a look first,” Qiao Mei said.

Before they reached the workshop, they could already hear the commotion inside. It sounded like there was a fight going on. Qian’e immediately felt a little embarrassed. Back when Qiao Mei was in charge of the factory, such things never happened before. However, once she was in charge, these incidents kept happening.

As soon as they entered, Qiao Mei saw seven to eight men fighting one another. However, there was a familiar person standing behind these people. It was Old Madam Qian. She did not expect that after not seeing the old lady for so long, the old lady was still as feisty as ever.

“Stop fighting!” Xia Zhe roared and the entire workshop fell silent. Old Madam Qian’s expression also changed the moment she saw Qian’e.

“Qian’e, look at how badly they beat up your uncle and younger brother! Fire all of them now!” Old Madam Qian said as she pointed at a group of men.

Qian’e was so angry that her entire body was trembling. Qiao Mei patted Qian’e and said, “Leave it to me. Bring our factory staff to the infirmary first.”

“Alright,” Qian’e said after taking a deep breath.

The workshop manager limped to Qiao Mei’s side and said, “Boss, I didn’t want you to worry about this issue, but it’s really out of our hands…”

This workshop manager had worked for Qiao Mei for many years and she trusted him very much.

“What exactly is going on?” Qiao Mei asked in a low voice.

“They came to the workshop this morning and started giving us orders. They even want to change our work process. So much meat was spoiled because of that! That’s why our people quarreled with them,” the workshop manager said aggrievedly.

“I get it. Go to the infirmary first. I can take charge here,” Qiao Mei said.

After all the injured staff members left, Qiao Mei sat on a chair and said with a smile, “I hope you’ve been well, Old Madam Qian.”

“Hmph, I’m not talking to you! Ask Qian’e to come!” Old Madam Qian said.

“She’s just one of my factory employees. At the end of the day, this factory is still mine. Since all of you have come to my factory to cause trouble, I have to ask you for an explanation,” Qiao Mei said.

“What do you mean by your factory! You don’t care about anything! You leave everything to our Qian’e to handle! This is our Qian family’s factory!” Old Madam Qian said in an unreasonable manner.

“Is that so? If you want to maintain such an attitude, then we have nothing to talk about. I’ll call the police now and let them see how much money I’ve lost. You also have to pay for the medical fees of my employees. By the way! If they’re seriously injured, you might even have to go to jail!” Qiao Mei said.

“Stop trying to scare us! They’re not injured at all! They attacked first! We’re the victims!” Old Madam Qian roared.

Qiao Mei shook her head resignedly. There was no need to reason with such scoundrels. She should just chase all of them out. However, the security officers must have already been bribed by the Qian family. If she wanted to take action, she would need to get her own people to do it.

Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang rushed into the workshop with their men and each of them escorted one person out. Before they left, Qiao Mei felt a little regretful. There were no cell phones in this era and she did not think to bring a camera. Otherwise, she must definitely take a photo of the Qian family members in this sorry state.
