Rong Jingbo watched his men count the goods and load them onto the truck. He turned back and said to Qin Huiyin, "Last time we suppressed the bandits, that major general used the weapons you provided and praised them highly. This time he came to me and said he still wants you to provide them with weapons. They have military supplies, so the price is negotiable. What do you think?"

Qin Huiyin said, "President Rong is the second boss. If the military factory does business at a loss, you will be the first to disagree. As long as you nod, I have no objection."

Rong Jingbo smiled faintly: "Boss Qin is indeed a straightforward person. In that case, I will make the decision."

"Of course, that's your right. We're meant to be a long-term partner. If there's even this little bit of trust, then it's a taboo for us to do business together. For example, Sister Xia and I are partners in running the Food City, and so far we haven't had any disagreements about business matters. Let alone the snack shop, where the other owner is my brother, we have absolutely no business conflicts. I have the same requirements for every partner: work together to make money together, and don't let small profits hurt our relationships."

"I heard that Mr. Qin is planning to cooperate with Mr. Li. Although the military factory is a big piece of fat meat, the quantity is limited. If we add someone like this into the mix, our share will be even smaller."

"There's more than one military factory in the world," Qin Huiyin said. "We have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but only a few hundred people working in our factory. How can we handle all the work?"

"Are you saying you agree to let Young Master Li open a branch factory somewhere else? If Young Master Li isn't honest and secretly uses your blueprints to open a branch factory somewhere else, how can you collect the money?"

"If Young Master Li were smart, he wouldn't do something that would only end up hurting himself. People say businessmen prioritize profit, but what I'm trying to say is that successful businessmen must also keep their promises and value integrity. If someone doesn't keep their promises and doesn't value morality, they'll eventually lose everything," Qin Huiyin said. "I've given my partners enough trust. If they can't reciprocate, then I'll just cut my losses."

"Today, I have a new play being rehearsed. Now that I'm done with my official duties, I'd like to invite Mr. Qin to watch it with me, as a celebration of our tacit cooperation! Mr. Qin, would you be so kind as to give me the honor?"

Qin Huiyin had nothing to do today, so she accepted Rong Jingbo's invitation and followed him to the theater.

The waiter took them upstairs and chose a room with the best view.

"Last time I wanted to take my mother to see a play, and I wanted to book this room, but the waiter said it was booked by someone else. Now it seems that the person who booked it is President Rong."

"Not really. I only come here occasionally, so how could I possibly book a theater box? But the person who booked this box is a friend. He's a theater fanatic and comes to watch any new play that's being staged."

Qin Huiyin sat by the window, looking at the theater fans in the lobby on the first floor. When she saw a familiar figure in the crowd, she thought she had seen it wrongly. She rubbed her eyes and looked carefully again, and it was indeed him.

"What's wrong?" Rong Jingbo asked.

"Nothing." Qin Huiyin said, and called Song Yi.

Song Yi came in from the door and saluted Qin Huiyin: "What do you want, young lady?"

"Go back to the Food City and bring my mother with you." Qin Huiyin pointed to the lobby.

Song Yi had good eyesight and saw the familiar figure in the crowd at a glance. He turned around and left without saying a word.

Rong Jingbo looked in the direction Qin Huiyin pointed, and this time he clearly found the target in the middle. The person sitting there was none other than Qin Huiyin's stepfather, Tang Dafu.

It would have been fine if Tang Dafu came to watch the show alone, but there were a few people around him. They were dressed respectably, but their eyes were particularly dishonest.

One of them even touched the buttocks of the female waiter who came over to pour tea.

Tang Dafu's close association with this kind of person was probably not a good thing. Since she had caught him, she would definitely file a report and have Li Taohua take him back and discipline him strictly.

"With just one word from Mr. Qin, your stepfather will definitely go back obediently. There's no need for your mother to make a special trip. Aren't you afraid that she'll get angry if she sees it?" Rong Jingbo asked.

"Although I've never called him dad, he's my stepfather and an elder. How can a younger person interfere in the affairs of an elder? Besides, he's my mother's man. Whoever's man is responsible should take care of him. As her daughter, I'm just there to cheer her up. If my mother gets bullied, it's not too late for me to step in. But my mother won't be bullied. The worst that can happen is she'll just find another man."

Rong Jingbo smiled faintly: "Coming from the Qin family, it seems as if changing men is such a simple matter. Although many women marry new people nowadays, rumors can still kill people."

“那些被逼死的,是自己过于想不开,也过于柔弱。这世间最贵重的莫过于自己的性命,天塌下来还有高个子的顶着,今天要是过得不顺心,熬上几天也就顺心了,这世间根本就没有迈不过去的坎。女子另嫁有风言风语怎么了,自己过得舒心就行了。比如说我娘改嫁,村里那些寡妇就会骂她不知廉耻,连守个节都守不住。他们敢当着我们的面骂,我们就直接揍回去。我娘过得幸福就行了,别人说几句嫉妒的话再正常不过了。”

"No more talking, the show is about to begin." Qin Huiyin looked at the stage seriously.

Rong Jingbo's gaze rested on Tang Dafu. Tang Dafu was looking at the stage, occasionally chatting with the people around him. Seeing his serious and focused look, someone who didn't know him would think he wanted to learn opera.

Halfway through the show, Tang Dafu felt a pain in his ears. He looked up and saw Li Taohua staring at him angrily with a pair of fiery eyes.

"Wife...Wife, let's talk nicely." Tang Dafu begged for mercy. "I can explain."

"You'd better find a better excuse, otherwise I'll cut off your ears and feed them to the dogs." Li Taohua twisted Tang Dafu's ears and walked out.

The people nearby looked at each other in bewilderment. One of them said, "I've heard that Tang Dafu is henpecked, but I didn't expect him to be this henpecked."

"His tigress found out so quickly. I'm afraid she won't come out to play with us anymore."

"Don't mention it, don't mention it, that middle-aged woman is quite attractive. Did you see it just now? That figure, that face, looks much more charming than a young woman in her early twenties."

"A peasant like Tang Dafu is living a life of ease and comfort today only because he married this rich woman. The most valuable asset in the Tang family is the stepdaughter. She's a renowned God of Wealth. Anyone who befriends her will surely become wealthy. If any of us could marry her, wouldn't that be like offering a God of Wealth to our family?"
