Chapter 116 Who says eating, drinking, and having fun aren't skills?
When the Fu family learned that Fu Ci was going to hand over the affairs of Guangcheng to Tang Mingli, they all thought Fu Ci had gone mad.
Even Old Master Fu couldn't help but scold him: "Why can't you just work properly in Guangcheng? It's not like you can't make money. When you saw that Shenzhen was established as a special economic zone, you didn't care about anything and just wanted to go there. Well, now you're too busy to handle everything, and you're even making your wife help you with the work."
Faced with such a heavy accusation, Fu Ci was both amused and exasperated.
But this label doesn't seem entirely unjust, since Mingli is indeed going to take over now.
Fu Ci had no choice but to accept the accusation and admitted his mistake, saying, "Grandpa is right, it's all my fault, I was too presumptuous."
Old Master Fu snorted. Did he think he couldn't see through this perfunctory attitude?
Of course, he had no intention of letting his grandson off the hook.
"Is it enough to just say I was wrong? The problem still needs to be solved. Ever since Mingli married into our family, all she does is eat and sleep. She can't handle your complicated business dealings."
Grandpa Fu blurted out his words too quickly, only realizing afterward that his last statement sounded off. He gave an awkward laugh and quickly said to Tang Mingli, "Grandpa didn't mean you only know how to eat and sleep."
That's it, this explanation is worse than no explanation at all.
Sure enough, Madam Fu laughed and scolded, "If you can't speak, you don't have to."
Fortunately, Tang Mingli understood that her grandfather didn't mean it that way, and generously laughed and joked, "Grandpa is right, after all, since I married into this family, I've been eating and sleeping all I want, even the gods would envy my life."
Madam Fu wouldn't allow her to talk about herself like that, and said indulgently, "Let's ignore this old man and get back to business. Do you really want to run the clothing wholesale business for Fu Ci?"
"Yes." Tang Mingli nodded solemnly.
Of course, she couldn't tell her family that she was reluctant to part with so much money in a year, and that she even dreamed about it last night.
In life, sometimes you have to earn your own respect. Occasionally, she also needs to earn some face for herself.
"I didn't want my hard work to go to waste, and I believed I could do it well, so I wanted to give it a try."
"If Fu Ci's hard work is gone, then so be it. There's nothing to regret."
Fu Ci: His hard work is being so poorly appreciated?
"Grandma knows you're a capable child, and you can definitely do it well if you want to. But have you ever thought about how hard it is?"
Fu Ci: Grandma's favoritism is beyond measure.
Madam Fu spoke cautiously, as if confident that Tang Mingli could do a good job. She was afraid that she might accidentally laugh herself first.
However, she held back, but Tang Mingli couldn't.
"Haha, Grandma, why does what you're saying sound so unbelievable?"
Since I've already laughed, there's no need for others to hold back anymore.
In an instant, everyone laughed, breaking the tense atmosphere.
Once the atmosphere is good, everything becomes easier to discuss.
Tang Mingli wanted to clear her name, and this was something she took the initiative to do.
She talked a lot, until her mouth was dry, but the elders were still skeptical.
Having no other choice, she had to resort to her ultimate move.
"Actually, I also want to do something to make my days more fulfilling. Just eating and sleeping all day long doesn't seem very good."
Good heavens, I don't know if they can believe her when she says something like that, but she's already feeling uneasy.
Sure enough, the elders still looked at her with scrutiny.
Tang Mingli could only bite the bullet and continue to make her story more believable: "Before the New Year, I went to the store with Fu Ci, and after that, I really wanted to come out and do something myself."
"Really?" Fu's mother tried hard to recall the scene when Tang Mingli returned from the store that time.
When she came back that time, she was indeed deeply moved and talked to them a lot, but she mainly mentioned the shop assistant and the chance encounter with Tang Mingmei on the street. She didn't mention that she had also had the idea of wanting to work.
"What's said is said, and what's done is done," Tang Mingli nodded firmly.
"Mom, Grandma, do you not want me to go out to work?"
"Of course not."
No, that's not it.
Both Mrs. Fu and Madam Fu denied it in unison.
If Tang Mingli really wanted to work, why would they stop her?
They were just worried about her working too hard, since she really wasn't exactly hardworking.
We've lived together for several years, we're family, there's no need to deceive ourselves about that.
Being lazy is not a flaw.
Tang Mingli was very determined, and in the end, the four elders of the Fu family had no choice but to support her.
Despite their support, the four of them took turns reminding Fu Ci that although Tang Mingli was in charge, they couldn't completely relinquish their responsibilities here.
"We must still shoulder the responsibilities that we should bear."
"After all, you built it up from scratch, and no one knows it better than you. You should help Mingli more."
After giving him his instructions, he also gave Tang Mingli a heads-up.
"Doing business involves both wins and losses. Don't get hung up on how good the business is now and how much you're making. Even if you lose money after you take over, it's not your fault."
"That's right, don't let this setback get you down. Also, if you encounter something you don't understand, ask questions. If there's anything you can't solve, be sure to speak up, and we'll all work together to find a solution."
...
Tang Mingli initially wanted to laugh as she listened to each word of advice, but later felt like crying.
She lived two lifetimes before realizing that some people really do not need to earn money, and they won't be scolded even if they do poorly; they can solve problems together.
Tang Mingli quickly held back her tears and said to her family, "Don't worry, I can't say for sure that I can make a lot of money, but I can definitely make money."
We caught up with the era's dividends.
"When I make money, I will use my own money to take everyone on a trip and treat everyone to delicious food from all over the world."
They haven't even started making money yet, but they've already made grand promises.
The Fu family was very cooperative, helping her to envision where she would travel after making money.
At first, they were just going along with it, but as they talked, especially with Tang Mingli's vivid and expressive introduction, describing how beautiful and special this place was, everyone unconsciously began to yearn for it.
I am fortunate to be born in this country, and I should definitely take the opportunity to see more of our beautiful motherland.
Looking at her daughter-in-law with a face full of satisfaction, Fu's mother exclaimed, "Who says that eating, drinking, and having fun isn't a skill? This is truly a skill!"
Tang Mingli also agreed.
Who can say that eating, drinking, and having fun without harming the interests of others isn't a skill?
Anyone who has experienced setbacks knows that it's actually very difficult to make yourself happy.
With her family's support, she was just waiting for the new year to start work... But thinking that today was already the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and she would have to rest for two more days before going back to work, Tang Mingli couldn't help but feel a little sad.
I haven't worked for so many years, I don't know how long it will take to get back into the swing of things.
However, a few days later, it turned out that she had worried too much.
Her past life as a corporate slave had ingrained a work instinct almost into her very soul.
After working half a day, Li Zhengdao's doubts about Tang Mingli disappeared.
When he first offered to hand over the responsibilities to her, he was actually quite worried. For no other reason than that Tang Mingli was a woman.
Fortunately, he ultimately chose to believe Fu Ci.
After observing for half a day, I realized that I was biased.
Fu Ci asked his wife to help him, probably because of their shared entrepreneurial bond.
Thinking that if it weren't for the huge changes in his family, he wouldn't have needed his pampered sister-in-law to come out and help. He still doubted her in his heart, feeling really sorry for the kindness that Fu Ci and his wife had shown him.
Feeling guilty, Li Zhengdao took advantage of a break to run up to Tang Mingli and say, "Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry."
After a busy morning, Tang Mingli, who was familiar with the company's affairs, finally stopped to catch her breath, only to hear these baffling words, leaving her completely bewildered.
What did he do while she was focused on her work?
