Era: Life's Big Winner

Chapter 108 Yu Li's Careful Scheme
"Don't you have anything to do at the factory? You're back so early." Fang Tianxin asked with concern.

Liu Hongchang nodded and said, "There are a lot of things to do, but there are people to handle them. Otherwise, why would I spend money to hire so many people?"

"It's different when you're a boss. If you want to go to work, you go to work. If you don't want to go to work, you don't have to." Fang Tianxin said with a smile.

Liu Hongchang said with a smile: "You only see my leisure time, not my hard time."

"Okay, I'm just a little ignorant." Fang Tianxin smiled lightly, "I heard from Wenhui that when Fujin is older, she will go to work in the factory?"

Liu Hongchang nodded and said, "She wants to go, but she has to wait until the child is three or five years old, right? Besides..."

"What's wrong?" Fang Tianxin asked puzzledly.

Liu Hongchang smiled and said, "Besides, she just gave birth to a child, so her wish to go to work will probably be put off for a long time!"

Fang Tianxin smiled and said, "Will I go to work in your factory after I graduate from college?"

"I welcome it with open arms, but will your father agree?" Liu Hongchang exhaled a puff of smoke, raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

Fang Tianxin smiled and said, "As long as you agree, I will do his job and I promise not to embarrass you."

"It depends on the situation! We can talk about this after you graduate from university." Liu Hongchang did not agree immediately and said vaguely.

Fang Tianxin frowned slightly and said, "Are you worried? Are you afraid that I will cause you trouble in the factory?"

"Not really, but no one can predict what will happen in the future." Liu Hongchang shook his head.

Fang Tianxin pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's right, I forgot that you are going to Hong Kong Island next year."

……

It gets dark early in winter, and it gradually becomes dark after five o'clock.

The workers got off work and the students got out of school, and the yard suddenly became lively.

In the living room, brothers Liu Hongchang and Liu Yunchang were smoking and chatting. Street director Wang came over with a woman, carrying bags of gifts, to discuss business.

Liu Yunchang saw the situation, helped to accept the gift, poured some tea, and then left the living room without delaying anything.

After a round of greetings, they sat down to talk. Director Wang pointed at the woman and said bluntly:
"Her name is Gao Yue. She has a high school education and was a soldier. Now that she has been discharged from the army, I want to place her in your factory."

"Hello, Director Liu!" Gao Yue stood up and bowed to greet him.

This girl is about twenty-five or twenty-six years old and is an important supporting role in "Red Romance". Judging from the situation, she should not have met Zhong Yueming yet.

She has a cute appearance, big eyes and a small round face. She has a cheerful and generous personality, is smart and intelligent, and can guess almost everything.

She is also a love-brained person. To put it nicely, she is infatuated, virtuous, has a strong sense of justice, and knows how to be tolerant.

In the original drama, no matter what Zhong Yueming did, she would always accommodate him, so many viewers who have watched this drama said: "I would marry a wife like Gao Yue."

Liu Hongchang nodded slightly, raised his hand and pressed it lightly, smiling and said, "Sit down and talk. Since Director Wang has come in person, I have to give him this honor. You will go to the factory to work tomorrow. We will arrange what you will do when you get there. How about that?"

As a public-private joint venture, the food factory has to employ a number of veterans every year, and their treatment must be regular.

It’s just that the quota allocated by the factory this year has already been filled, so Director Wang came to see Liu Hongchang privately.

At the same time, he also wanted him to arrange a better job for Gao Yue. All this was self-evident.

"Thank you, Director Liu. I'll follow your instructions!" Gao Yue said gratefully.

After chatting for a while, Director Wang took Gao Yue away. Liu Hongchang sent them to the gate of the courtyard before stopping. Just as they were about to go back to the courtyard, Yu Li came over from across the street with her bag in her hand and said with a smile, "Director Liu, excuse me."

"What's the matter?" Liu Hongchang asked with raised eyebrows.

Yu Li took a few quick steps forward and said, "My husband and I have pooled some money together and are planning to open a restaurant. I would like to ask Liu Chang for some advice."

Seeing that she was empty-handed again, Liu Hongchang frowned slightly and shook his head, saying, "I don't have much experience. I just started doing business this year and made money without knowing what was going on. I can't teach you anything."

"It's getting late, and I have to go home to take care of the kids. Go ask someone else for help!"

After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for her to speak.

"Hey!" Yu Li stretched out her hand, but was too embarrassed to get involved. She gritted her teeth, feeling very confused.

I heard that Liu Hongchang was very kind to his neighbors, and was willing to help others to the best of his ability if they had any difficulties.

But she met Liu Hongchang twice and didn't talk to him both times. Liu Hongchang always ignored her. This was a little different from what others said!

After returning home, Yu Li was still thinking about this matter.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was distracted, Yan Bugui asked about the situation, and Yu Li told him everything.

After hearing this, Yan Bugui laughed and said, "You are so presumptuous and reckless. How can you ask him for advice in such a straightforward manner?"

"How else can I ask for advice if not in this way?" Yu Li frowned.

Yan Bugui said earnestly, "When you talk to someone about something, you have to find a good time and bring some gifts to show your respect. You are so kind that you don't treat him as an outsider. But to be honest, what do we have to do with him?"

Yu Li blushed and said awkwardly: "It's not that I don't understand the matter of human relations. I just want to save as much as possible!"

"Then don't try to build relationships so easily. You might end up offending people." Yan Bugui frowned.

At this time, Yan Jiecheng came back from outside. After hearing the situation, he shouted: "It's okay. To be honest, Liu Hongchang can't teach us any skills. We have to rely on ourselves for everything."

Yan Bugui criticized: "Don't take yourself too seriously, Liu Hongchang can run such a big factory, how can he be incompetent? Sometimes a word from him can save you from taking many detours in doing business."

"Not only that, I heard that he has connections in the streets, districts, and cities. These connections are far more important than making money."

Yan Jiecheng said disapprovingly: "I just want to open a restaurant with Yu Li honestly, why are we making such a fuss? What can Liu Hongchang do to us? We can still run the business without relying on him!"

"You're such a blockhead! It's totally unreasonable!" Yan Bugui slammed the table and cursed. He never thought his son was so stupid.

But Yan Jiecheng didn't want to pamper him, and said unhappily: "Don't make trouble with me. I wanted to stay for dinner, but now I'm not in the mood. Yu Li, let's go. Since someone doesn't like us, we don't need to bother to please them!"

Not long ago, Yan Jiecheng’s unit allocated a house, and the couple moved out of the courtyard house.

They had to move. Yan Bugui was very stingy. Most of Yan Jiecheng's monthly salary had to be handed over for living expenses, health expenses, etc. This and that cost money. They lived worse off than outsiders. The couple had endured this for more than ten or twenty years.

"Eh? You can go, but you have to pay for the dishes your mother prepared today!" Yan Bugui immediately stood up and said.

Yu Li said irritably, "Dad, we didn't eat, why should we pay?"

"That's right. We came back to see you out of kindness, but you still charge us for this?" Yan Jiecheng agreed with a frown.

Yan Bugui shook his head and said, "I didn't ask you to come back to visit me. You were the one who told me that you wanted to come back. This dish is prepared for you, so you must pay!"

Yan Jiecheng gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, okay, I'll pay the money and take the food away. Let's see if we can come back in the future!"
