Xia Wen had been very efficient. Not long after Qiao Mei told him about her idea of building a factory, he rented a piece of land in the suburbs. Qiao Mei originally wanted to buy the piece of land, but they were unable to find out who owned it and the details in the land title were sketchy. Thus, she decided to rent it for the time being and would buy it after they could sort things out.
Since they were serious about expanding the business, they could not afford to do things in a slipshod manner. Xia Wen was no longer a professor at the university, so it was not appropriate for Qiao Mei to ask the previous group of people to help her with the building design. Moreover, she was not doing repairs on a courtyard house this time round, but designing a completely new building. Qiao Mei also did not want to owe anyone any favors, so she must find another way.
