Ye Qiu called Zhou Wenting again, telling her to set things straight with Su Wen. After all, he definitely wanted to play it cool about these matters. Once the antiviral drug research lab is built, they can just recruit a batch of talent then.
Ye Qiu believed that with his help, the lab would quickly yield results.
Ye Qiu initially planned to eat out after reviewing the situation at the palace cuisine branch, but since Xiaomai showed up, he decided to let Xiaomai cook lunch.
Driving back to Peach Blossom Source Villa Community, he parked the car and went inside. Xiaomai was cleaning the house alone and seed a little nervous to see Ye Qiu return.
After all, Ye Qiu had cured her illness and even suggested that she study at Jin University, yet she was now looking for a job, falling into her current position.
"Xiaomai, co with to the market to buy groceries. From now on, you’ll be cooking at ho."
Xiaomai nodded, took off her cleaning gloves, and followed Ye Qiu to the nearby market. Once there, Ye Qiu guided her on where to buy groceries.
Clearly, Xiaomai was still too naive; otherwise, how could she have been swindled like this?
Ye Qiu noticed the butcher family, but he didn’t want to go over, so he bought pork from a nearby place with Xiaomai. The butcher couple occasionally cast glances their way.
Before, this Li Lanfang dared to say sothing, but now she didn’t dare to say a word. The Ye Family was no longer within her reach.
However, the three of them were surprised to see that there was a young beauty accompanying Ye Qiu while shopping.
The butcher looked at his ordinary-looking, slightly chubby daughter and didn’t dare to entertain those ambitions anymore.
Ye Qiu and Xiaomai bought groceries for just the two of them since Ye Weidong and Ye Xue weren’t coming back for lunch.
Back at the villa, since it was still early, Xiaomai just put the groceries in the kitchen’s fridge and continued with her cleaning.
Ye Qiu went upstairs and opened his computer’s email, reviewing the coffee-related docunts Luo Yang and Ning Yun spent a month preparing.
Ye Qiu first reviewed Luo Yang’s materials and found them quite solid. All the coffee-related information was well-organized, clearly demonstrating that they had been seriously examined and compiled.
As for Ning Yun, Ye Qiu had him study the Jinling coffee market, and now there was plenty of detailed information available.
After reviewing everything, Ye Qiu felt it was feasible. According to his concept and the mid-to-high-end coffee shop design to be developed, coupled with genuine coffee,
this business had potential.
It seed that a trip to the Caribbean was necessary to inspect the coffee over there. It could be said that the world’s renowned coffee primarily cos from the Caribbean.
Coffee from places like Jamaica, Cuba, and Panama is world-famous.
Moreover, the local cigars are also very renowned.
However, the dostic cigar market isn’t big; it’s mostly dominated by cigarettes.
Now Ye Qiu is considering whether he should also check on those cigars during his visit?
After all, abroad, cigars, cigarettes, and red wine are considered extrely lucrative, and smokers primarily favor cigars, while cigarettes are less popular.
Ye Qiu turned off the computer and picked up his phone to call Luo Yang.
At that ti, Luo Yang was at the gaming company, in the office with Li Shen and others.
Seeing Ye Qiu’s call, Luo Yang felt a bit surprised.
"What’s up, Qiu?"
"Do you have a passport?"
"I do." Luo Yang had his passport ready for a while.
"Get ready. We might head to the Caribbean in a few days."
Heading to the Caribbean?
Luo Yang had heard that Ye Qiu planned to buy a large farm, but he thought it was a joke. Now it seed quite plausible.
To Luo Yang, going to the Caribbean was like going on a vacation, which made him very happy.
"Inform Ning Yun. The three of us might fly over soon, possibly for half a month."
After ending the call with Luo Yang, he imdiately inford Ning Yun, who was also surprised that Ye Qiu genuinely planned to go to the Caribbean to purchase a farm.
Moreover, he intended to take them along, suggesting that the coffee business would potentially be vast, especially since Ye Qiu ntioned a 5 million investnt—it seed to be much more than that.
Coming downstairs and still seeing Xiaomai cleaning, Ye Qiu said nothing and went outside to the yard.
Outside is a fish pond resembling a Jiangnan garden.
When Ye Qiu first bought this villa, he noticed the fish pond, which initially had few fish, but after his trip to Malaysia and treating Mr. Wang’s gout, that gentleman did actually gift him several valuable arowanas.
Now, the golden or red arowanas in the fish pond were gifts from that Mr. Wang.
Seeing these arowanas, Ye Qiu thought about Malaysia and wondered how Lin Xiang and the Lin Family were doing.
As Ye Qiu sat there, Xiaomai ca out and asked, "Doctor Ye, should we feed the fish?"
"Xiaomai, you don’t need to keep cleaning, co and sit down."
Looking at her, the villa was already quite clean, and she didn’t need to be so busy.
She was all alone, with no family or friends to rely on after leaving the orphanage.
However, Ye Qiu knew that she was likely still fond of the guqin.
Previously, due to years of carrying the guqin, her posture was a bit hunched, but after Ye Qiu treated her, she no longer had back issues and could stand up straight at 170cm, and with her figure, she could truly be considered beautiful.
Having such a lovely young lady as a personal housekeeper wasn’t bad either.
Xiaomai wiped her sweat and ca over asking, "Doctor Ye, what’s up?"
"What happened to your guqin?"
"It was smashed." Thinking about it, Xiaomai felt upset. The guqin was a gift from her master, who was also the orphanage director, and now it was gone. With no instrunt for earning money, she felt utterly adrift, looking as disheveled as she did this ti.
Moreover, without the guqin as a way to make a living, she’d probably starve outside because other than playing the guqin, she didn’t know what else to do.
"Just stay here and help my mom and sister with housekeeping. As for the guqin, I’ll buy you a better one."
Hearing that, Xiaomai was visibly moved, her eyes welling up with emotion.
"Take a break and then make lunch. It’ll just be the two of us eating."
Xiaomai nodded, and after sitting for less than five minutes, she went to the kitchen, put on an apron, and started preparing the al.
She was a good girl; Ye Qiu could see that from the look in her eyes.
