"Oh, really?"
Old Master Fu raised an eyebrow. Although he was old, he was not senile and would never say such a thing.
Zhang Fugui's eyes flickered, but he nodded stubbornly, "Yes, that's what my grandfather said."
Grandpa Fu had helped Boss Fu a lot in the past, and he didn't believe that Boss Fu would dare to be ungrateful.
Boss Fu chuckled and spread his hands.
“My daughter’s factory is hers, it’s none of my business.”
"As far as I know, factories usually post job openings at the gate. If you want to go, just follow the instructions in the notice."
Zhang Fugui found it hard to believe.
If he could pass the proper recruitment exam, why would he be here?
"Brother Gouwa, that's your daughter. Your word is more effective than any announcement, isn't it?"
"Hehe, my opinion won't work either. I'm just a fisherman, I can't control so many things!"
Seeing that Boss Fu was completely uninvolved, Zhang Fugui became a little anxious.
He stood up abruptly, somewhat embarrassed and angry, and said, "Boss Fu, you weren't planning on helping me, were you?"
Boss Fu nodded sincerely.
"Yes, even if I have influence with my daughter, I can't get her to hire you."
"Zhang Fugui, a person should know his own limitations. You don't know anything, what can you do in the factory?"
Zhang Fugui didn't expect that Boss Fu was still as stubborn as he was when they were kids. He sneered, "I can't do anything, but your son and daughter-in-law can, right?"
Look at them, still washing these tattered seashells at their age! You're a pretty bad father!
Fu Ming, who was mentioned, looked bewildered. Daughter-in-law? His wife wasn't home at the moment.
Fu Wan was completely bewildered. Could the daughter-in-law this guy was talking about be herself?
I've gotten myself into this mess while I was just watching the drama unfold!
"Wait, sir, are you talking about me?"
Fu Wan stood up and pointed to herself. Zhang Fugui gave her a look of disappointment.
"It's you guys. If I had a sister who was a factory manager, why would I need to wash sea snails?"
Your father-in-law is completely biased, and you two are still here grinning like idiots!
He saw them as soon as he walked in. These two were so happy washing snails. They must be idiots!
Fu Wan was so angry she laughed when she heard this. She shook the water off her hands and stepped forward.
"Is it possible that I am the daughter you're talking about?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fugui's pupils dilated in shock.
"You...you're Boss Fu's daughter?"
Wait a minute, shouldn't the factory manager be wearing a suit, carrying a briefcase, and always so busy that you never see him?
Before Fu Wan could reply, Boss Fu coughed twice to suppress a laugh and proudly introduced her to Zhang Fugui.
"Yes, this is my daughter."
"Perfect timing. Didn't you want to work in the factory? Why don't you ask her if she'll hire you?"
Zhang Fugui opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
What's there to ask? You've already made a complete fool of yourself.
But thinking about his debts, Zhang Fugui had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask again.
"My dear niece, is your factory hiring?"
Fu Wan nodded, "No."
That's the truth. After they returned from the trade fair, their orders were booked until the end of next year.
We definitely need to hire more people to complete the task as quickly as possible.
Zhang Fugui felt he had seen a glimmer of hope, but before he could continue, Fu Wan spoke up again.
"Are you comfortable dealing with fish?"
Zhang Fugui shook his head subconsciously, then grinned and said, "Cousin, don't you have a vacant position for your uncle?"
"I'm your cousin, after all. Do you have any job for me where I can read the newspaper, drink tea, and do some sales work?"
Fu Wan was stunned by the man's words, while Fu Ming laughed even harder.
Even his own brother doesn't get this kind of treatment!
"You wish! You piece of trash, get back to your home!"
An elderly voice came from the doorway, and Grandpa Fu entered, his hands behind his back and leaning on a cane.
Seeing this, Old Master Fu rushed forward to help him up, but Grandpa Fu waved his hand, saying that his leg had been getting a little better recently, but the typhoon a few days ago had made it ache again.
Grandpa Fu was overjoyed when his grandson, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, came to visit him, though he didn't say it aloud.
But when Zhang Fugui arrived, he didn't greet me much; all he talked about was inquiring about Old Master Fu's family.
He even went so far as to demand that Grandpa Fu intervene and have Boss Fu recruit him onto the ship.
Grandpa Fu would definitely not agree. His grandson was a boy whom his daughter had only longed for after three daughters. He had been spoiled since he was a child, and he couldn't bear to go on a ship and suffer.
This guy was self-aware enough to change his mind and go to Awan's cannery.
This infuriated Grandpa Fu. Ah Wan had finally recovered from her ordeal, and this kid wanted to mess with her. He immediately picked up his cane and started hitting Zhang Fugui.
But considering that he had gone to great lengths to come all this way, Grandpa Fu couldn't bear to let him go back like this, so he thought of buying a pound of meat to treat him properly.
When he returned home after buying the meat, Zhang Fugui was nowhere to be found. Not only that, the chicken cake that the guy had brought was also gone.
Grandpa Fu knew with a little thought that the dog must have come to his house, so he hurriedly came over, leaning on his cane.
Before they even entered the courtyard, they heard this person's shameless request.
When Grandpa Fu came over, he didn't even give Zhang Fugui a second glance.
He turned around and bowed apologetically to Fu Wan and the others.
"Wan'er, Gouwa, it's my fault for not knowing how to raise children. Please forgive me."
Fu Wan quickly helped him up.
"What you're saying has nothing to do with you."
By all accounts, Zhang Fugui's surname is Zhang, not Fu.
Grandpa Fu shook his head, then looked at Zhang Fugui with a dark expression.
"Aren't you coming back with me?"
As soon as Grandpa Fu arrived, Zhang Fugui knew that the plan was doomed.
"Fine, I'll leave then, you old geezer! I'm not going back to your lousy place!"
After saying that, he glared at Boss Fu and the others with resentment, and finally his gaze fell on Fu Wan.
Fu Wan wasn't afraid of him; she wanted to see what else this man would do.
"Hmph, you just wait, one day I'll be rich, and then I'll be the richest man in the world!"
After saying this, he stepped outside, not forgetting to take the broken chicken cake he had brought with him.
When Grandpa Fu saw his ill-mannered behavior, he was so angry that his beard almost stood on end.
"What a terrible thing to do!"
Fu Laoda was afraid that the old man might get sick from anger, so he quickly patted his back to calm him down.
"Alright, alright, don't be angry anymore. Children and grandchildren have their own lives to live, why do you care so much!"
"Alas, it's all a tragedy!"
Grandpa Fu sighed and shook his head, then recounted in fits and starts the tales of Zhang Fugui’s misdeeds over the years.
He didn't go to literacy classes in his early years and couldn't recognize many words, but he was spoiled by his family and had high aspirations. He didn't want to be a fisherman or a farmer.
A few years ago, I tried to become a middleman, but the crackdown was strict back then. Before I could make any money, I was arrested for speculation.
After spending half a year in a labor camp, this guy went to work in the south again, and nobody knows when he came back.
Grandpa Fu had a headache when he talked about his grandson, and Fu Wan and the others shook their heads as they listened.
No wonder he still acts so unreliable at his age.
