He quickly looked at Zhao Liang and said, "Yes, your older brother is capable! Let your older brother go!"
Hearing him say that, Zhao Gang couldn't stand it and instantly lost his composure.
"Dad! What's wrong with you? Didn't you promise me? Why are you going back on your word and giving it to the eldest son? I don't agree!"
"Hmph, you disagree? What right do you have to disagree? I'm the eldest son in the family, and I'm the one who will take care of our parents in their old age. If I don't go, will you go and cause trouble for the family?"
"Boss, what makes you think I'm causing trouble?..."
The two brothers started arguing. Zhao's parents were caught in the middle, trying to mediate, but to no avail. Instead, their actions fueled resentment in both sons, who felt they had been treated unfairly. This could be seen as a form of retribution.
Zhao Liang and Ma Pingchuan looked at the two brothers arguing with a mixture of speechlessness and sarcasm.
It's utterly ridiculous! Do they think the factory is already theirs? They're trying to seize it here!
Zhao Liang, too lazy to listen to their nonsense, slammed his hand on the table and yelled, "Shut up!"
Ma Pingchuan cooperated by preparing the paper, pen, and inkpad and placing them on the table again.
"Gentlemen, it's impossible for me to take you to work in the factory, and it's even more impossible for me to let you get in the way of the Bai family."
Ah Liang is indeed the person in charge of the factory, but he is only responsible for logistics. Everything else is handled by me and Qiao Yu.
The three of us have all signed lifelong contracts with the Bai family, meaning we must work for them for the rest of our lives. It's impossible for us to break our contracts.
"If you force A-Liang to go to the Bai family's place and something goes wrong, you'll have to pay him compensation for breach of contract!"
"What? A lifetime contract??? What does that mean?"
When Zhao's mother thought of the servants in wealthy families in the past, her vision suddenly went black. "Could it be that I've essentially sold myself to the Bai family?"
Zhao's father asked suspiciously, "Isn't that the same as the long-term laborers in the old landlord's house?"
The group gasped in unison. It was no wonder they were suspicious; the Bai family had indeed employed many servants in the past. In their eyes, it was hard to believe that someone with Zhao Liang's personality and methods could suddenly become successful.
It's better to make them believe that they signed a contract to sell themselves to the Bai family!
Zhao Gang and Zhao Qiang looked at them as if they were idiots, unable to understand why they would sign a lifetime contract. What was the difference between that and a contract of servitude?
With such a great opportunity now, instead of trying to turn things around by leveraging the Bai family's wealth, you're working for someone else your whole life!
Zhao Liang pursed his lips, trying to suppress his laughter, before finally managing to hold it in. What a load of rubbish! Pingchuan was making up a lie with such a straight face!
And this family actually believed it!
However, he certainly wouldn't sabotage things!
"Hey, think it over. If you sign today, I'll give you a thousand yuan as your retirement money. If you don't sign today, then forget about it. Anyway, we're practically estranged now."
Don't come looking for me. Without notification from over there, I won't be able to see the Bai family.
After saying that, he made a move to leave, but Zhao Gang was not about to let him go so easily.
"Second son! Where are you going? Even if you don't want to help the family, you still need to make things clear about your retirement!"
He wouldn't work for someone else his whole life and not be allowed to make mistakes! He might have a chance to turn his life around in the future!
Since we can't get involved with the Bai family, we should focus on our immediate interests!
Zhao Qiang shared the same thought. He never believed that his second brother, whom he usually looked down upon, could be more capable than him and had suddenly become successful.
"Second son, since you are determined to take care of your parents in their old age, we can't stop you from being a filial son."
The two brothers then went to persuade their parents.
The eldest son whispered in his mother's ear, "Mom, there are many people in the family, and the burden is heavy. All three children need to go to school..."
The third son tugged at his father's sleeve. "Dad, since that's the case, just sign it!"
Zhao's parents raised their eyelids and looked at Zhao Liang. "Second son, have you thought it through? No regrets?"
This son is as stupid as ever! In this day and age, he's still so short-sighted as to work as a farmhand!
