Even if Qiao Mei revoked Zhao Fei's right to be an "exclusive agent", he would not dare to cause trouble. If he still wanted to continue doing business in the capital, he could not avoid having to interact with Qiao Mei. He would still need Qiao Mei to take care of him in the future.

"That's good. I'm worried that he'll be completely lawless if this continues," Qian'e said with a sigh.

"By the way, my mother will pay you soon. Did my mother tell you about us sharing the profits from the popcorn business with you?" Qiao Mei asked.

Qian'e was not concerned about this at all and had not heard Li Gui mention it before. The main thing was that she had never asked about these details at all. As long as she had something to do to pass time, she did not really care about how much money she made.

"There's no need to give me a lot," Qian'e said.

"That won't do! You're different from Sister Zhou and the others. You're our partner so you get to share the profits! I have already left the popcorn business in your charge now. We'll split it 40-60. You get 40% and we get 60%," Qiao Mei said.

"That's too much. Just give me 20%," Qian'e said embarrassedly.

"Since we're partners, we have to show you our sincerity. Just accept it. As for the issue with Zhao Fei, I'll settle it. Don't worry and just carry on boldly. Actually, you can also restrain Zhao Fei's actions as you see fit. After all, you're his boss now," Qiao Mei said.

When Qian'e heard what Qiao Mei said, she felt much more at ease. In order to demonstrate her sincerity, Qiao Mei had also specially drafted a contract. She had prepared it a long time ago and was just waiting for such a day to come.

"I don't need to sign a contract with you. I trust you," Qian'e said.

"That won't do. Business is business and friendship is friendship. We can't mix these two things up. Who can guarantee that the business won't suffer losses? We must at least give each other the most basic guarantees. It's good for everyone if we sign a contract. In the future, even if something happens, we can still continue to be friends," Qiao Mei explained.

Qian'e did not even read the contract and simply wrote her name at the end and put her fingerprint on it. Qiao Mei had helped her so much. Even if Qiao Mei wanted to sell it to her off to some place in the wilderness, she would not hate Qiao Mei.

Qiao Mei kept staring at Qian'e. There was something that she wanted to ask Qian'e, but she was afraid that it would touch a raw nerve. Two days ago, Zhuang Hua had called Xia Zhe to give him a general update about Zheng Peng. He had lost so much weight that he was almost skin and bones left. He had even accidentally fallen down the stairs and fractured his arm.

The way Zhuang Hua described Zheng Peng's life, it sounded as miserable as it could get. He would probably die in front of Qian'e if he could. However, even though he was already in such a state, Zheng Su did not feel sorry for him at all. Zheng Su simply just asked the doctor to come to the house every day to provide Zheng Peng with nutritional supplements via a drip so that his body could continue to function.

Zhuang Hua also said that Zheng Su wanted to quickly find Zheng Peng a wife so that she could give the Zheng family a descendant as soon as possible. Zheng Su felt that since Zheng Peng was already half-dead, he might die anytime and leave the Zheng family without any descendants.

After Xia Zhe told Qiao Mei all this, she was not at all affected. Initially, she did not even intend to tell Qian'e about this. This was all a result of Zheng Peng's own decision and had nothing to do with Qian'e. No matter how miserable a state he was in, he only had himself to blame.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Qian'e touched her cheek in confusion. She thought that there was something on her face.

"I'm just wondering if you want to know about an issue," Qiao Mei asked with a faint smile as she looked Qian'e in the eyes.

Qian'e immediately understood what Qiao Mei meant. Actually, she had been thinking about Zheng Peng for a long time and it had kept her awake for countless nights. She did not know how to make a decision or how to face Zheng Peng.

After considering it carefully, Qian'e spoke slowly, "I... I don't want to know anything anymore... I just want to live my own life now. I also don't plan to get married anymore. I think it's good to be on my own. I feel that if I marry someone, then it is a burden to that person. Instead of doing that, I might as well live a carefree life alone."

"Alright, then you have to earn more money to buy one of my houses and be my neighbor. I'll leave my two children's piano lessons in your hands!" Qiao Mei said happily.

"You just want to exploit me! However, I don't have that much money. I still have to continue to work hard to be able to buy a house. In the future, I will just buy a house that's about the same size as the one Auntie Li has," Qian'e said.
