Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 411 - 410: Going Home

The middle-aged nurse was initially defiant, but when she caught sight of Xiao Wu’s bloodshot eyes and the veins bulging on his neck in anger, she instantly lost her nerve.

She was truly scared.

This man had become like a beast, and if things went wrong, she might end up suffering.

"You, you let me go first. If you pay the previous fees and make a deposit, you, you can continue using this ward."

The middle-aged nurse surrendered.

Gu Xiaoqing smiled and took out a bundle of money, handing it to Xiao Wu.

"Here’s ten thousand yuan, which should be enough to settle your outstanding fees and cover your mother’s hospital stay for a while. Use the remaining money to buy something nice for your mother; people who are sick need good nutrition to recover."

"Here’s three hundred yuan. Just take her back the same way you took her out. Let me give you a piece of advice, don’t look down on people. Life is full of ups and downs, and no one can predict the future."

The head nurse was also dumbfounded. It was her first time seeing someone casually throw around ten thousand yuan. Not to mention another three hundred on the spot.

Gu Xiaoqing put the money in Xiao Wu’s hand. Since she had difficulty moving, she didn’t help carry things inside.

Though she scoffed at Gu Xiaoqing’s words, the head nurse, sensing there was money to be made, grinned foolishly and nodded in agreement, "Of course, there’s no problem. Sure, after all, taking care of patients is our duty, right? Come, you guys, lift the lady in carefully."

Xiao Wu was disgusted by the nurse’s face but also deeply understood how harsh reality was.

It was even more brutal than when he worked in the factory!

Gu Ruhai was also a farmer, so he could chat with Xiao Wu’s mother quite easily.

Xiao Wu stood outside the ward, moved to tears, and said to Gu Xiaoqing, "Miss Gu, in the future, even if you asked me to scale mountains or cross seas, I would do it without a second thought. I will be indebted to you for life."

"Let’s not talk about debts. I’m lending you money to help you out temporarily. If you want to become truly independent, you must work hard."

"Don’t worry, I will start looking for a job tomorrow. I’ve already discussed some work with a foreman at a construction site."

Gu Xiaoqing shook her head, "That would be a waste of your talents, considering you’re a college graduate."

"College graduate? Heh, what’s the use of that? When my mother was seriously ill, that diploma was as good as a scrap of paper."

Xiao Wu realized that while he once thought being a college graduate was something, now he understood that one must act to achieve anything—a diploma alone meant nothing.

"What I mean is, since you were Wang Xiaoji’s sales director and know Wang Xiaoji well, you know I’ve just taken over Wang Xiaoji’s operations. If you’re willing, you can help me manage it."

That was Gu Xiaoqing’s plan; she couldn’t stay there long to handle Wang Xiaoji’s subsequent affairs.

She needed someone to help her manage Wang Xiaoji and follow her direction to grow and strengthen the business.

Xiao Wu expressed his gratitude, "Miss Gu, you truly are a living Buddha, a benefactor to my whole family. Rest assured, once I’m on the production line, I’ll do a great job. Although I’ve never done factory work, I’ve often..."

Before Xiao Wu could finish, Gu Xiaoqing waved her hand, "No, I’m asking you to be the general manager, to help run the entire factory. Of course, we’re just getting started, and I’ll need your full commitment. Wang Xiaoji has great potential."

"What?"

Xiao Wu was stunned. He had thought being able to become a worker at the factory was already a huge favor.

But Gu Xiaoqing was actually asking him to take on a management role and run the entire factory?!

For him, this was simply...

"I know you have ambition, and I have ambition too in business. I’ll give you five years, and I’ll find a way to secure funds. But within five years, you need to make the Wang Xiaoji brand another significant name in the domestic beverage industry, like Jianlibao. Do you understand what I mean? If you can’t do it, then at that time..."

Xiao Wu bit his tongue to wake himself from the shocking news.

He looked at Gu Xiaoqing with the most dedicated attitude he had ever had in his life, and pledged his loyalty: "Miss Gu, rest assured. If Wang Xiaoji doesn’t meet your expectations in five years, I’ll die to atone."

"Suicide... that’s..."

"No, my life is yours. If I can’t meet your expectations, I’ll return it to you!" Xiao Wu was serious.

Xiao Wu’s mother and Gu Ruhai chatted happily; as farmers, they found common ground easily. She also liked Gu Xiaoqing very much, probably attributing her affection to how they’d taken to Xiao Wu.

With better medical conditions, Xiao Wu promised his mother he would take her back to their hometown and swore he would work hard so she could see her grandson.

Xiao Wu transformed from the previous sales director to the general manager of Qingyun Company, recently purchased by Gu Xiaoqing, responsible for its daily operations and Wang Xiaoji’s affairs.

Utilizing his background at Yangcheng Pharmaceutical, Xiao Wu first decided to recruit a development tech team.

Yangcheng Pharmaceutical played tricks by pulling out their core technical staff before handing the factory over to Gu Xiaoqing.

Of course, Gu Xiaoqing had never expected them to give her everything.

Being in sales, Xiao Wu clearly understood the importance of sales channels, so he put every effort into reaching the market.

He also took Gu Xiaoqing’s advice by using television advertising to raise the public’s awareness of Wang Xiaoji and attempted to negotiate cooperation with TV stations.

Soon, Xiao Wu integrated Wang Xiaoji and got it back on track.

Ten million, sometimes it seems like a lot, but to truly make Wang Xiaoji thriving, Gu Xiaoqing quickly invested the rest of the money into it.

This was different from the hard-earned money of her parents, as it was acquired through the stock market, so she wasn’t sentimental about it.

Moreover, Gu Xiaoqing kept about a million capital to speculate again.

Of course, timing also played a crucial role.

Arriving home with her father and Fang Shaohan, Gu Xiaoqing had already persuaded Fang Shaohan to hurry back to work. But he insisted on seeing her home before returning, leaving her with no choice.

Once home, Gu Ruhai could finally sleep peacefully, and the couple whispered to each other in their room.

Li Xuemei then learned about Gu Ruhai’s ’rich’ experience this time.

It was impossible for her not to be surprised or frightened, but she neither blamed her husband nor said anything about Gu Xiaoqing.

She felt her husband was right. If it were her, she would also rather be kidnapped herself than have their daughter in danger.

"Old man, thank goodness you protected our daughter."

Li Xuemei murmured under the covers.
