Chapter 185: Sealing the Deal with My Sister‑in‑Law

After bringing in the engineering company to construct the plant, Xu Yuexin rented a hotel room near the Kwai Chung pier so he could supervise the work at any time.

…

Not long after construction began, Mei Naizi arrived in Xiangjiang with the technical staff she had found for him.

Xu Yuexin received the news and went to Kai Tak Airport to meet them.

After waiting about ten minutes at the airport terminal exit, Xu Yuexin saw Mei Naizi approaching with her team.

Xu Yuexin stepped forward to welcome them; the group exchanged greetings and introduced themselves to each other.

Mei Naizi had assembled a complete team: among the technicians were Chip R&D experts, professional managers in supply‑chain management, and also veterans of production management.

Moreover, they were mostly ethnic Chinese, eliminating communication difficulties, which shows Mei Naizi had put in a lot of effort.

Xu Yuexin escorted everyone to Central, booked rooms for them at the Hilton, and then chose a Michelin‑rated restaurant to give them a warm welcome.

During the meal, Xu Yuexin not only expressed thanks and condolences to these Chip talents but also announced their compensation.

Without further discussion, he increased their base salary by 80% and said the year‑end bonus would be calculated separately.

Once the compensation was announced, Xu Yuexin immediately earned applause from everyone present.

After the welcome banquet ended, the group returned to their rooms to rest, while Mei Naizi stayed behind to talk with Xu Yuexin.

"When is the baby's due date?"

In the executive suite, Xu Yuexin asked Mei Naizi.

"Next May. Why do you want to accompany me to have the child?"

Mei Naizi asked.

"It's my child, so of course I have to go."

"I'm afraid that's not possible."

Mei Naizi said with a troubled expression, "Although I've acquired all of the Watanabe family's assets, their relatives still doubt me."

"If any trace is discovered, I could get into serious trouble."

"I'll find a way."

Xu Yuexin took Mei Naizi's hand and said, "No matter what, I cannot miss the moment my child is born."

Mei Naizi sensed Xu Yuexin's determination.

And that, to some extent, surprised Mei Naizi.

She had thought Xu Yuexin would no longer involve himself with her and the child.

"Xu Jun really is a responsible man,"

She added with a faint smile, after the surprise.

Xu Yuexin pulled Mei Naizi into his arms and planted a kiss on her cheek.

"That's not the case,"

Xu Yuexin said proudly, "Rest first. If you're interested, we can go to Kwai Chung this afternoon to see the Chip Factory."

"Hmm, let's see what your factory looks like."

Mei Naizi replied with interest.

In the afternoon, Xu Yuexin, Mei Naizi, and the technicians went together to Kwai Chung.

The construction site was bustling with activity; after Xu Yuexin finished introducing the place to them, he began listening to the technicians' suggestions.

For each reasonable suggestion, Xu Yuexin recorded it in his notebook.

When running a business, one must respect professional technical talent.

Moreover, it's best if one can become a professional oneself.

During his discussions with the technicians, Xu Yuexin began to consider whether, after returning to Yanda, he should minor in Microelectronics as a second major.

That would allow him to manage the factory more effectively later.

After finishing the talks with the technicians, Xu Yuexin arranged a chartered car to take them back to Central, while he and Mei Naizi stayed at the Kwai Chung Factory.

"To be honest, I never expected you to venture into industry at first."

Looking at the site ahead, Mei Naizi said, "Do you think the capital market brings in money too quickly and it's meaningless?"

"In this world, you can't focus solely on money."

Xu Yuexin shook his head and said, "With the same asset scale, a real‑world owner enjoys far higher social status than a financial magnate."

"Then, why not invest a bit more?"

Mei Naizi flirtatiously winked at him and said, "I'll invest you one hundred million."

"No need."

Xu Yuexin declined.

"Do you think it's too much? Rest assured, the assets I've obtained from the Watanabe family amount to several tens of billions of dollars." "Investing a hundred million is nothing."

Tens of billions of dollars…

Hearing Mei Naizi's words, Xu Yuexin took a deep breath.

This is the early 1980s; with that much money in her hands, Mei Naizi could definitely challenge the Asian billionaire rankings.

He thought to himself, this time I'm really being used by a rich woman to sire a daughter.

Xu Yuexin thought it over, steadied himself, and then replied.

"No, as a newcomer to the industry, I think I should first become familiar with it."

"One must maintain the proper reverence for the Chip industry."

"Besides, if you pour that much in, the company would become yours."

"I can't let a viper‑like woman like you control the situation."

"Does Xu Jun really say that?"

Mei Naizi unexpectedly showed a somewhat aggrieved expression and said, "I have always been devoted to you."

"Don't."

Xu Yuexin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Let me do it myself first."

Mei Naizi lowered her charming eyes, remained silent, as if pondering something.

After a while, she finally lifted her head and laughed self‑deprecatingly.

"Since Xu Jun distrusts me so much, I have no way to help."

"If you want to see the child later, I can arrange it for you."

"I wish you smooth sailing in your career; our fate ends here."

"Alright, then let us part ways in the jianghu."

Xu Yuexin went along with the flow.

Speaking of it, Xu Yuexin and Mei Naizi also share a tangled fate.

He had given Mei Naizi a child back then and helped her seize her family fortune.

By now, Mei Naizi has brought him talent and set up the Chip Factory, so they owe each other nothing.

The problem is…

Can it really be cut off that easily? Xu Yuexin verbally agreed, but a question mark formed in his mind.

…

In the time that followed, Xu Yuexin, besides being busy building the Chip Factory and exchanging talent brought by Mei Naizi, also enrolled in driving lessons.

With the driving school foundation he had built before crossing, Xu Yuexin learned quickly.

The only thing to adapt to was Xiangjiang's left‑hand traffic rules.

But this didn't trouble Xu Yuexin; after a short time he obtained his driver's license.

At this time, the Chip Factory located in Kwai Chung was also completed.

On the inauguration day of the factory, Xu Yuexin brought Chen Yixue to attend the ribbon‑cutting ceremony.

"Boss, your wife is truly beautiful."

Before the ceremony began, the newly hired female finance Manager asked with a beaming smile.

"I…"

Chen Yixue tried to speak an explanation, but Xu Yuexin cut her off at that moment.

"Thank you, she is not only beautiful in appearance but also outstanding in the arts."

Xu Yuexin slightly lifted the corner of his mouth and said.

"What nerve, such thick skin."

As he spoke, Chen Yixue thought angrily.

Chen Yixue understood that Xu Yuexin was trying to create a fait accompli, turning raw rice into cooked rice.

Considering this was a public setting and an important moment for Xu Yuexin, Chen Yixue, though angry, said nothing.

However, after returning to the Half-Mountain Mansion, Chen Yixue immediately lodged a protest.

"Xu Yuexin."

In the villa's living room, Chen Yixue furrowed her brows and coldly warned, "What exactly did you mean by what you said today."
