“I’m putting in sixty thousand and the formula. Old Tang and Zhao Qian will cover the remaining funds. They’ll each hold twenty-five percent of the shares, and I’ll take fifty percent.” 

Gu Ye said with a smile.

Tang Yaozu was not pleased; he had hoped to own the majority of the shares.

However, because Gu Ye brought Zhao Qian into the scene, Tang Yaozu was unable to claim a big share and was forced to settle for 25%.

Gu Ye had enlisted Zhao Qian specifically to keep Tang Yaozu in control.

While two tigers cannot share a mountain, three tigers might be able to get along with some negotiation.

“Zheng Yuqiang’s twenty machine tools have been sold, and with the commission, coming up with sixty thousand won’t be a problem. I also have some money on hand.” 

Chu Qiao said. 

She believed this arrangement was rather decent; partnerships between two individuals frequently resulted in problems, but with three, things were significantly easier.

Furthermore, Zhao Qian wielded influence, which may help him avoid a lot of difficulty.

Gu Ye opted not to confront Gu Jianshe after Chu Qiao persuaded him otherwise.

He had already contemplated the worst-case scenario: rumors circulating across the factory. What mattered most was that he trusted his wife. Allow those people to talk all they want.

If things got really bad, they could always move out of the factory housing. He now owned three properties and could live anywhere he pleased.

In the end, Gu Jianshe obediently paid the five hundred yuan. 

His parents, Gu Jiefang and his wife, rushed over to settle the bill. 

They had scraped together the money from here and there to make up the five hundred yuan and redeem their son. 

Once they returned home, Gu Jiefang gave him a stern scolding and demanded that he repay the money, every last cent of the five hundred yuan.

Gu Jianshe felt as though a chunk of flesh had been carved out of his heart. 

His total savings only amounted to a thousand yuan, and just a few drinks had cost him half of it. 

It was all that wretched Chu Qiao’s fault! If he hadn’t gone to the dance hall to verify whether she was working there, he wouldn’t have fallen into such a trap.

That b*tch better watch out. Tomorrow, he would spread the word at the factory, he would make sure everyone knows she was working as a hostess at a dance hall. 

The next day, Chu Qiao slept in until 8:30 as usual. These days, Gu Ye had been taking Dabao and Xiaobao to school, and they had breakfast outside, allowing her to wake up naturally without any interruptions.

Gu Ye did not come back for lunch. He was in the workshop overseeing the delivery of Zheng Yuqiang’s twenty machine tools, personally supervising each one to ensure no errors occurred.

Chu Qiao prepared some cakes, and their aroma permeated the entire residential building.

Several housewives couldn’t resist stopping by to take a peek.

Even if they couldn’t afford an oven, seeing Chu Qiao bake cakes was tempting.

“Baked cakes are noticeably more aromatic. I steamed a cake yesterday; it was delicious, but not as fragrant as Xiao Chu’s baked ones.” One housewife replied with a smile.

“Baked foods are inherently more fragrant. Roasted meat also smells better than stir-fried beef.”

Chu Qiao looked around. The housewives who had assembled were all enthusiastic gossipers, ideal for her purposes. She cut and served the freshly prepared cake with them.

“I baked too much. Take some and enjoy it.”

“Oh my, that’s really too kind of you. Thank you, Xiao Chu.”

Though the housewives were polite with their words, their hands moved quickly. 

They didn’t eat the cake right away, planning to save it for their children instead.

Chu Qiao smiled. 

“You’re welcome. It’s just a bit of cake, it doesn’t cost much.”

She was still considering how to appropriately move the subject toward employment when one of the ladies brought it up herself, enviously adding, 

“Of everyone in our family housing, Xiao Chu was the luckiest one. She doesn’t even have to work, and she has unlimited flexibility to spend her money whatever she wants. Unlike us, they work hard every day and are yet hesitant to spend a single penny.”

“Exactly! I bought a twenty-yuan outfit, and my husband said I was wasting money. It made me so mad!”  

“Men are all like that. They never say a word about their own spending on cigarettes and alcohol, but the moment their wives buy clothes, they act like we wasted a fortune. Even If I’m spending my own hard-earned salary!”  

The topic instantly struck a chord with the housewives, and they began venting about their husbands. 

Xuan Hongxia also joined in, adding her own thoughts to the discussion.
