When Lao Du heard this, tears suddenly welled up in his eyes.
"Mr. Gu, if you really consider us your friends, please don't say such polite words anymore." At this time, Da Zhuang also said.
"Yes, yes, since we are friends, we should stop being polite and make things seem distant." Qiangzi echoed.
At this time, Lao Du wiped his tears emotionally, forced a smile and said, "Yes, I am narrow-minded. I thought you really didn't recognize me after you got off the boat."
"Old Du didn't expect that our General Manager Gu bought the entire ship and gave the captain a good beating." A Rong said very proudly, as if he was the one who beat the captain.
This sentence immediately sparked discussion among everyone, and the topic was gradually shifted.
"I think the captain got away with it. After all, he took away a full ten million. Ten million is enough for me to spend for several lifetimes." Dazhuang complained with some dissatisfaction, his mind full of heartache for the ten million.
"You can't send the captain away without paying," Qiangzi reminded him.
Da Zhuang pouted, looking dissatisfied.
Lao Du calmly analyzed, "Mr. Gu must have his reasons for doing this. If you don't give a little benefit to a guy like the captain, you can't guarantee that he will come up with some shady tricks to harm us."
"That's right, he is used to being domineering on the ship and doesn't treat us as human beings at all." A Rong recalled everything that happened on the ship and said with resentment.
In fact, each of them had long disliked the captain, but since they all depended on the captain for their salary, they dared not speak out.
Now that they know Gu Tingchen, they can finally get rid of Zhou Paopi.
"Because of this, it would be a pity to give him the 10 million." Da Zhuang was still unconvinced and said with gritted teeth.
Seeing that they were getting angrier and angrier, Gu Tingchen couldn't help but smile and reminded them, "Don't be angry, everyone. That's all in the past now. You won't have to endure his anger anymore. As for the 10 million, you don't have to worry about it. After all, the boat is mine now."
"Yes, everyone should listen to Mr. Gu. What Mr. Gu says must be right." A Rong hurriedly stood up and echoed Gu Tingchen.
At this moment, Qiangzi suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Gu Tingchen mysteriously and expectantly and asked, "Boss Gu, do we have to follow you from now on?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Gu Tingchen, waiting for his answer.
Gu Tingchen slowly stood up and said, "Of course. I've already bought the ship. If you're still willing to be sailors, you can continue to work on the ship. If not, you can also do something within the Gu Group that you can."
"You can choose for yourself. The choice is yours." Gu Tingchen smiled gently.
He knew that these people's abilities were not strong, but it was undeniable that they all had hearts as pure as gold.
It was this simple power that firmly conquered Gu Tingchen.
Lao Du and the others looked at each other, and finally Lao Du spoke on their behalf. "We have all worked on ships for many years and are used to life on board. If we worked in your company, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to get used to it."
Gu Tingchen had anticipated their decision, so he shrugged and asked, "So you all are going to stay on the boat?"
"Yes, we have to stay on the boat." Lao Du said firmly.
Gu Tingchen respected their choice, nodded seriously and said, "Okay, in that case, I won't force you. Lao Du, I will hand this ship over to you. You will be the captain, and the other three will be sailors. You will have the final say on everything on the ship and be responsible for your own profits and losses."
"Be responsible for your own profits and losses?" Lao Du was stunned for a moment and repeated, as if he didn't understand what Gu Tingchen said.
"Oh, Lao Du, I think you are so happy today that you are confused. What Mr. Gu means is that we will share the profits and bear the losses ourselves." A Rong was quick-witted and quickly reminded Lao Du.
Lao Du suddenly realized, "Oh, that's no problem. With our skills, we can definitely make money."
"Besides, we don't ask for wealth and status, as long as we can support our family." Lao Du said confidently.
Hearing this, Gu Tingchen nodded with satisfaction, "Then this matter is settled."
"Mr. Gu, if that's the case, we will be on board again soon. I really can't bear to leave you." Lao Du became sad again, looking at Gu Tingchen with reluctance.
Gu Tingchen smiled helplessly, "Old Du, are you so anxious to get on board? I won't allow it. You guys must stay at my house for a few days. Let's get along well for a few days before I let you go."
"Mr. Gu, are you inviting us to your house?" A Rong asked with great honor, with a hint of self-doubt in his eyes.
He thought there was something wrong with his ears.
Gu Tingchen nodded affirmatively: "Of course, and you have always been curious about my wife, so I just happened to introduce her to you. She knows about my situation and wants to thank you. If she doesn't see you, she will definitely not let me go."
Speaking of this, Gu Tingchen smiled happily. Being able to reunite with Jiang Ranran, he felt so happy that he seemed to be bubbling.
When Lao Du and A Rong heard they were going to meet Mrs. Gu, they all stood up awkwardly, looked down at their dirty clothes, and said embarrassedly, "But Mr. Gu, don't you think we are being too rude?"
"Of course you need to change into clean clothes, but even if you leave like this, my wife will never neglect you. She is the best woman in the world." When Gu Tingchen mentioned Jiang Ranran, his eyes were full of happiness.
When Lao Du and the others heard what Gu Tingchen said, their favorable impression of Jiang Ranran increased immediately, and the pressure in their hearts was reduced a lot.
Under Gu Tingchen's arrangement, the four people changed into clean and decent clothes and took Gu Tingchen's car to Gu's house. The environment here was something they had never seen before, and every blade of grass and every tree was very novel.
Even the clothes on her body seemed to be rented, and she was afraid of getting them dirty, which made her look stiff and restrictive.
"You guys, relax, just like at home. Also, these clothes are bought for you, it doesn't matter if they are dirty or torn, relax, relax..." Seeing their reserved look, Gu Tingchen kindly reminded them.
So they tried their best to relax themselves, but they still looked a little stiff.
Seeing this, Gu Tingchen shook his head helplessly and could only let them go.
At this time, they had already arrived at Gu's house. Jiang Ranran could not cook herself due to health reasons, but she had instructed the cook to prepare a table full of delicious dishes.
