Zhao Lei didn't want to hide his thoughts, otherwise he would have to keep finding excuses in the future. It would be better to be straightforward from the beginning.
"Yes, I just don't want to work in the same unit with you."
"Dad, you taught me since I was a child not to think about taking shortcuts, and that people have to rely on themselves."
"I didn't have a job at the time, so I wanted you to talk to your apprentice and see if I could be an apprentice in their factory."
"Dad, you said at the beginning that as your son, you would not help me open this backdoor. You were also worried that I would go against your wishes and go directly to your apprentice and say that you agreed to let me go to them."
"You even went out of your way to say that you wanted me to find a job on my own."
"Dad, you said that's what you asked me to do in the beginning, and I did it. I found a job by myself, starting as a temporary worker and working my way up step by step."
“Did my life get better back then?”
"It's not easy either, Dad. You've never worked in a scrap yard, have you?" Zhao Lei never wanted to talk much about the days when he first entered the scrap yard.
Zhao Tiezhu was very angry when he heard that Zhao Lei was unwilling to help. As a father, he had already bowed his head so low, so couldn't he lend a hand?
What he didn't expect was that Zhao Lei actually brought up what happened when he was looking for a job. Didn't he know about these past events?
Of course he remembered and was worried, but after seeing that Zhao Lei did not rely on his family, still found a job, and obediently handed in his salary, he let it go and felt that Zhao Lei understood his thoughts.
Now he realized that it was not him who let it go, but he had let go of all the Zhao family members. "Old Third, Old Third, I really, I really didn't know it would be like this."
He took a deep breath and said, "At that time, your eldest brother and second brother all had good jobs, and people outside were talking about our family. If you can easily get a job in the factory, I'm worried. I'm worried that they will say behind our backs that our family got a backdoor."
"Forget it, Dad, these are not necessary, they are all in the past." Zhao Lei didn't want to hear these explanations, "If you think you haven't treated me unfairly, then that's fine."
Zhao Tiezhu felt much better after hearing what Zhao Lei said. He knew that his son would not argue with him about this.
Just when he felt relieved, "Dad, I know you don't care, and you don't have to care. After all, it's all in the past." Zhao Lei felt very depressed when he saw Zhao Tiezhu's relieved expression.
He knew that even though he was the most promising son in the family, Zhao Tiezhu still ignored him. Even though he knew that he had been through a lot, he might still think that this was a test for him, otherwise why would he be so stubborn.
At this moment, he was completely relieved. He now had a wife, a son, and a brother-in-law who respected him very much.
There are also partners who understand his efforts and know how to give back. Of course, more importantly, he has a bright future now, so why should he care about these things?
"What I want to tell you is that even though I had such a bad start, I persisted step by step. Now, you are a master chef with so many disciples under you, so what do you need to worry about?"
"Zhao Qiang wanted to slack off, but the factory has already punished him. Why do you have to feel embarrassed?"
"Besides, when Zhao Liang's affair was exposed, didn't it mean that this was not strict? Dad, you still persisted."
Humph, I was able to hold on then, but now Zhao Qiang is unwilling to go to work because of a broken bone. Is that a problem? It is not a problem at all.
"So many people said I smelled bad, Dad. That's what they said back then. Their mouths are on their bodies, but your ears are on your body. You don't have to listen."
"Be your own person, Dad. I'm giving you this sentence." Zhao Lei said with a sincere expression.
