No matter how you put it, this girl was also nearing spinsterhood, still single. Zheng Dazui and Zheng Dana had even encouraged her to chase after Wang Xiaoqiang proactively, warming her heart and appealing to her reason, mentioning that although Wang Xiaoqiang had a child with Xia Guifang, they weren't officially married and it wasn't legitimate. Zheng Dazui also said that Wang Xiaoqiang had no intention of marrying Xia Guifang; otherwise, he would have held the wedding banquet long ago. They all urged Zheng Shuang to snatch the love bravely because, after all, Wang Xiaoqiang was too outstanding. Marrying Wang Xiaoqiang would bring limitless prosperity and honor in the future.

When Wang Xiaqiang drove to the breeding factory, his luxury sports car immediately attracted the attention of all the workers in the plant area. For the workers, seeing this big boss was like seeing a dragon; he rarely showed up, but when he did, he always stirred things up.

As soon as the workers saw Wang Xiaoqiang, they all greeted him, each hoping to make an impression on him, especially the younger workers who had long thought about working in Wang Xiaoqiang's overseas enterprises and taking the opportunity to travel abroad and perhaps bring back a foreign girlfriend.

However, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't give anyone the opportunity. Honestly, was going abroad that easy? Besides, if something happened overseas, he, the boss, would have to step in and mediate, which would be too troublesome.

Asou Yoshiko, Zheng Shuang, and a few of the factory's executives all came over to greet him.

Wang Xiaoqiang called several executives to the office, held a brief meeting to understand the current situation of the factory, and, seeing that everything was normal, he was reassured. Actually, the domestic enterprises were dispensable for Wang Xiaoqiang, but who would complain about the money? At the very least, the domestic enterprises brought him several hundred million in revenue each year, and so many workers depended on the factory for their livelihood. Essentially, while Wang Xiaoqiang was earning money, he was also supporting thousands of people. It was something to be proud of, although Wang Xiaoqiang was very low-key about it. However, local, county, and even provincial leaders often commended Wang Xiaoqiang as an advanced entrepreneur, and his entrepreneurial achievements were frequently reported in major newspapers.

Although Wang Xiaoqiang had essentially become hands-off, he constantly enjoyed the prestige brought by domestic enterprises.

The meeting ended, and everyone dispersed.

Only Asou Yoshiko and Zheng Shuang were left behind. Seeing Asou Yoshiko lingering, Zheng Shuang couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "Hey, Wang Fang, what are you still doing here? There's nothing for you here. Go get to work…"

Wang Fang, who was Asou Yoshiko, did not get annoyed at the remark but instead kept her eyes on Wang Xiaoqiang. Wang Xiaoqiang waved his hand, "Go on, Wang Fang. Get back to work. Call me if you need anything."

Only then did Wang Fang obediently nod her head and left.

It was obvious that she was somewhat reluctant to leave Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Little Qiang, just what is your relationship with this Asou Yoshiko?" Zheng Shuang asked, flipping her eyelid in irritation.

"What relationship? A superior-subordinate relationship," replied Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Superior-subordinate, is it that simple? Look at how she looks at you. Tsk, I really can't stand it," Zheng Shuang was very jealous.

"Hey, since you're not my wife, why do you care so much?"

"Cut it out, I'd rather not bother with you, but don't forget, Little Qiang, you're the big boss of two factories, the legal representative of the company, the face of the company, and the image of the company is very important…" Zheng Shuang prattled on.

Suddenly Wang Xiaoqiang walked towards her, "Little Shuang, are you jealous... Little Shuang, do you like me?"

"Pfft, how could I possibly fall for you? Don't forget, you're like a sworn brother to my father; I should be calling you uncle…"

"Zheng Shuang, stop pretending. If you like someone, just say it. What's there to hide, what's there to feel embarrassed about?"

"Ah pfft... you wish."

"Zheng Shuang, love should be shouted out loud."

Ah... you...

Zheng Shuang was speechless,

"Little Shuang, actually, I like you too. From the moment I saw you, I liked you," Wang Xiaoqiang said as he started to get cheeky...

...

"Hey, you have to take responsibility for this girl," Zheng Shuang's pale fingers circled on Wang Xiaoqiang's forehead, "and as you can see, I'm pure."

Wang Xiaoqiang looked at her freckled face... "Don't worry, my woman, I always take responsibility."

"I don't care about your other women, but let me remind you about something. You can't lay a finger on my sister Zheng Ru. It's impossible for us sisters to share one husband."

Wang Xiaoqiang smirked to himself, Zheng Ru was already his, but he maintained an innocent facade and said, "Don't worry, I don't like your sister's type."

"Then will you marry me?" Zheng Shuang asked.

"Do you want to marry me?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked. "If you really care about that marriage certificate, I don't mind, we can register tomorrow,"

'Forget it, you and Xia Guifang have already had children, I don't want to destroy several lives over a piece of marriage certificate.'

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "It's good that you understand this, I'm relieved. Really, Zheng Shuang, a woman who can think more for a man is a smart woman, just like Xia Guifang. Do you think she's really naive? Do you think she doesn't know about the women I have outside? She's just smart enough not to spell it out..."

"Little Qiang, does it mean that significant figures should behave like this, taking wives and concubines in numbers?"

"I don't understand the philosophy, but think about it, any man who is doing big business, how many have only one woman throughout their lives? Honestly, I also cannot help it. Zheng Shuang, you haven't seen much of the world. If you did, you would realize it's totally normal. If a significant figure only had one woman in his life, he would absolutely become a laughingstock in his circle…"

"Hmph, so you men justify your philandering?" Zheng Shuang glared at Wang Xiaoqiang.

Her face, teasing with a hint of annoyance, became increasingly charming and full of feminine allure, a woman truly transforms as she grows...

In the following days, Wang Xiaoqiang was busy inspecting work in both factories, concerning every aspect—factory discipline, finances, technology, and staff. He immediately addressed any issues he found. His decisive actions made anyone with intentions of breaking the factory discipline tremble in fear, while several corrupt mid-level leaders in the factory were caught red-handed and punished accordingly... Afterwards, Wang Xiaoqiang promoted a batch of new employees, all selected by Wang Fang. He trusted her more than Zheng Shuang, whose local connections could lead to nepotism, which could damage the interests of the factory. Wang Fang, being Japanese with seemingly limited ambitions, did not have local ties...

This arrangement did not sit well with Zheng Shuang, but she dared not complain because Wang Xiaoqiang's decisions were final...

Three days later, Wang Xiaoqiang arrived in River City to visit Yongqian Xu.

Strictly speaking, Yongqian Xu was also Wang Xiaoqiang's "Mount Tai" by now, since Qingxue Xu was carrying his child. Returning to the Xu Family, where he first saw Qingxue Xu as an unattainable beauty and government official, he now felt overwhelmed with emotions appearing as Qingxue's man.

Yongqian Xu's attitude towards Wang Xiaoqiang hadn't changed much. If anything, he no longer treated him as an outsider, especially since his daughter was carrying his child.

Good food and drinks were served. During the meal, Wang Xiaoqiang noticed Xu Kunpeng's absence and asked about him, considering Kunpeng was practically his elder brother-in-law now.

Yongqian Xu said, "He's very busy now. After the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee retired, Kunpeng has been eyeing that lucrative position and is preparing for it,"

"Oh, so he's aiming for a promotion... Need any help? Should I throw some money into the mix...?"

Wang Xiaoqiang spoke boastfully. Although he didn't have much clout domestically, he did have plenty of money—and in this society, money could buy influence, an undeniable fact.

"No need, no need," Yongqian Xu waved off the offer.

Wang Xiaoqiang gave up and added, "Elder Xu, don't you find it stifling here? Why don't you visit Thailand for a change?"

"We'll see. Aunt Liu said we could go when Qingxue gives birth,"

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Alright, I'll buy a plane by then, and we'll go on a private jet."

After his visit to the Xu Family, Wang Xiaoqiang went to meet Qiao Hui. Qiao Hui, after all, was one of his women, given that they had been intimate. (To be continued.
