"Oh, right, I have something to report to Secretary Hao. Director Fu, please go ahead with your work."

Watching Gu Yunyang's unhurried departure, Fu Shuhua suddenly laughed: "He's quite the little fox, isn't he? He won't act until he sees the benefit. Why would he help with something without saying a few nice words?"

Fu Shuhua sighed again: "This little brat, he didn't take the opportunity to become an apprentice. He has several jobs of his own, what could he possibly want from you? If he had become an apprentice, wouldn't all those little things be things the master should have helped with?"

These days, there haven't been any cases of people betraying or reporting their masters a few years later.

The master-disciple relationship is very strong.

Even after an apprentice has completed his apprenticeship, he must visit his master's home to pay New Year's respects during the three major festivals of the year.

We're out of firewood; I need your help chopping some.

And any acts of filial piety must be properly observed.

However, in return, the master's connections will also be used by the apprentice.

Even if they aren't father and son, they're practically the same.

Unfortunately, Fu Heng didn't seize the opportunity, which Fu Shuhua found regrettable.

"That kid will come to the commune sooner or later. He'll probably surpass me in rank in a very short time. What's there for that brat to be ashamed of, becoming an apprentice to someone like that?"

How could Fu Shuhua not know about Fu Heng's youthful nature?

Fu Heng felt ashamed to have to humble himself and become the disciple of a boy younger than himself.

But when Gu Yunyang rose to prominence, he went from the Red Flag Brigade to the commune, then to the county, and finally to the city.

Back then, who dared to laugh?

I'm so envious and jealous!

"It's a bit slow after all, you need to step up your game. You brat, you don't take care of yourself, but I, as your father, have to worry about you."

Gu Yunyang was unaware of Fu Shuhua's inner thoughts, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared.

Fu Heng's character is definitely inferior to Li Xing's.

Given this, Gu Yunyang did not abandon Li Xing, but instead planned to invest in Fu Heng.

Even if two people become disciples together, who gets the most important position depends on the master's relationship with the disciple and the disciple's ability.

"Secretary Hao, may I come in?"

When Gu Yunyang arrived, Officer Hao was also there, seemingly reporting something.

Gu Yunyang didn't listen carefully, nor was there any need for him to listen more.

"Yunyang, come in."

Hao Jianshe greeted them, then said to Hao Wenhua, "Take care of your tasks."

Hao Jianshe has gone to great lengths for this nephew.

If you can't compare to Gu Yunyang and lack ability, then make up for it with attitude.

At least, he's much better than Zhou Zhigang's nephew.

Hao Wenhua is not someone who is overly ambitious or has high aspirations but low abilities.

At least I can still focus on getting things done.

In this respect, he is far better than Zhou Hongcai.

These days, the sugar factory's situation has remained stagnant, unable to make any breakthroughs, and it has been stuck in an awkward position.

In other words, Hao Jianshe didn't keep asking, otherwise Zhou Zhigang wouldn't have known how to answer.

"However, the sugar factory issue will have to be brought up sooner or later."

Gu Yunyang smiled and didn't seem to care.

As an uncle, one should always consider the well-being of one's nephew.

For example, myself.

Well, he's just a cousin, yet he's actually worrying about his older cousin's affairs.

That's what Gu Hansheng, as an uncle, should do.

"Forget it, Gu Hansheng and I are destined to never reconcile anyway."

Gu Yunyang thought for a moment, then waited aside for a while. When Hao Wenhua left and Hao Jianshe looked up, Gu Yunyang said, "Secretary Hao, I'm here to report to you about the mushroom spawn bags."
