Chapter 22 Pay back the money
Hua Meimei arrived at the company early this morning.
Other employees clocked in one after another. Today is the last day of selling goods this year, which is of great significance.
In the morning meeting, we'll check the products and inventory to be sold during today's live stream, as well as the script.
Before the broadcast, she unexpectedly received a call from Hua Wenxia.
Since the incident with Lin Cuilan at the Hua family's house, she has had no contact with the Hua family.
"Meimei, let's have lunch together when you come back today?" Hua Wenxia asked in a kind tone.
It was as if he felt guilty towards her and wanted to make it up to her with a family reunion meal.
She is not rare.
"No, I have to do a live stream, I'm busy."
"Even if you're busy, you still need to eat. Let's go home for a family reunion dinner tonight." Hua Wenxia was a little anxious when she heard that she wasn't coming back.
"Did Aunt Zhang get fired by Lin Cuilan?" Hua Meimei asked, remembering that Aunt Zhang hadn't called her.
"No. Aunt Zhang has worked for our family for so many years. Your Aunt Lan wouldn't feel comfortable replacing her with someone else."
"She's not my aunt! She's the mistress who broke up my mother's marriage, the witch who brings me nightmares." Hua Meimei pressed her temples, very annoyed.
How could you say such a thing about your Aunt Lan?!
"You've never protected me. Even after seeing her true colors, you still side with her. Do you even care about me as your daughter? What am I to you?"
Hua Wenxia remained the same, always protecting Lin Cuilan. Even knowing that Lin Cuilan had mistreated her, she would brush it off with a few words.
Hua Wenxia on the other end of the phone was speechless after being questioned by her.
Justify the loss.
He admitted that he had some shortcomings as a father, but he only wanted to maintain the integrity of the family, even if it was not perfect.
"MeiMei, your business seems to be picking up lately?" After a long silence, Hua Wenxia changed the subject.
Hua Meimei: "I don't need your fake concern for me."
"Well...our company has been facing a lot of difficulties lately. We're not getting any new orders, and the goods we've already produced aren't selling..."
Oh, so that means you're short of money.
"When you brought that woman into the company, didn't you expect things to turn out this way?"
The Hua family owns three food factories, producing snacks for various brands under OEM agreements. Her mother's business was very successful when she was alive.
After her mother passed away, Lin Cuilan married into the Hua family and ran a factory with Hua Wenxia. The business was quite good for the first few years.
Later, the domestic economic situation changed, and the snack industry became highly competitive. Those who failed to innovate and keep up with the times would be eliminated.
Huajia doesn't have its own brand. As the businesses of the various brands it collaborates with have become increasingly successful, they have established their own factories and production lines and no longer need Huajia.
At this point, the Hua family wanted to establish their own brand, but it was a bit too late. They couldn't gain brand recognition or break into the market.
Coupled with the impact of the live streaming industry, Huajia's business has been declining and is on the verge of bankruptcy.
"When will you be able to pay back the five million you asked your family for to start your business? The factory is out of money..."
Hua Meimei sneered inwardly.
He was going around in circles, but what he really wanted was money from her. Asking her to come home for dinner was just an excuse.
Hua Meimei asked coldly, "Do you want cash, a bank transfer, or a check?"
"Transfer the money."
Hua Wenxia might have felt a little guilty towards her, so he invited her to come home for a family reunion dinner.
"If you're not coming back at noon, will you be back tonight? Call your husband over, let's have dinner together. Your younger brother is back from his trip abroad, and Grandma is home today too. We haven't met your husband yet, shouldn't he at least introduce himself to us?"
"He's busy. The Luo family is hosting a New Year's Eve banquet tonight. How could he possibly attend your family dinner?"
Hua Meimei has no intention of going home, let alone taking Luo Jiuyu back with her.
"Why didn't the Luo family invite us to their banquet? They really don't respect us as their in-laws," Hua Wenxia said, somewhat discontented.
"You sold your daughter to them, why should they respect you? It's a simple transaction, there's no room for sentimentality," Hua Meimei retorted.
She wasn't speaking in favor of the Luo family; she was simply too disappointed in Hua Wenxia.
"Meimei, what kind of attitude is that when you talk to your father!" Hua Wenxia's voice was tinged with anger.
Hua Meimei didn't want to continue talking to him.
She was in a bad mood, and arguing was pointless. She was already married into the Luo family; time couldn't be turned back.
The original owner was also at fault; she was too timid and dared not resist at any time. But ultimately, this timid nature was cultivated by such a terrible family background.
"I'm going to do a live stream to sell skincare products. Send me your account number, and I'll transfer the money to you." Hua Meimei hung up the phone first.
She rushed to a nearby bank to transfer money to Hua Wenxia.
The transfer amount was quite large, so she was served by a specialist. When the recipient's information was being verified, she saw Lin Cuilan's name and her temples throbbed with anger.
The bank card provided by Hua Wenxia belonged to Lin Cuilan, and that's how the five million yuan ended up in that woman's name.
Hua Meimei gritted her teeth. Work was more important. She would transfer the money and then head back to the company.
The merchants we had previously worked with sold out their goods so quickly that they had to expedite the restocking for her.
Today's target for the company's live stream is 50 million.
The pressure is immense. The entire company is preparing for the live stream.
She couldn't afford to fail at this crucial moment, so she turned off her phone and cut off all contact with the outside world.
Focus on your work first.
The live stream started at 1 p.m.
As usual, Hua Meimei greeted and chatted with the newcomers to the live stream, not in a hurry to sell products.
By the way, let me give a shout-out to my new livestreaming channel. She'll be selling food there after New Year's Day.
Looking forward to seeing your new products!
[Something delicious is for sale? I'm a foodie, I'll definitely come check it out!]
I'll buy whatever Berry sells, I love you.
[What special offers are available today? Hurry up and put them on sale, I'm in a hurry to leave!]
Happy New Year, Berry!
Happy New Year to everyone!
Happy New Year!
[My wish: May I marry Hua Meimei in the new year.]
[Wishing: May Meimei be healthy and happy in the new year]
Hua Meimei looked at the scrolling comments section, laughing as she read them all.
"That comment wishing me health and happiness almost brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much, dear reader! Happy New Year and best wishes to you too!"
Hua Meimei wiped her eyes and smiled.
No one understands better than her how important health and happiness are. This simple blessing will warm her heart for a long time.
May we all be healthy and happy.
This comment was immediately copied and pasted, and went viral.
Hua Meimei sent out a large red envelope in the live stream, inviting everyone to try their luck and liven up the atmosphere.
A little while later, another lucky bag was hung up, containing several heat-insulating placemats.
Hua Meimei thought the placemats were pretty and asked Huang Ya to save two for her.
The live stream has officially entered the sales phase.
She prepared many benefit packages and also issued large discount coupons.
Fans rushed to place orders and stock up, and the pace remained normal.
Until someone suddenly flooded her comments section asking: "Is Hua Meimei single?"
