Chapter 21 Chapter 21 (Update)
Fu Xiuhuai is the invisible backbone of the Fu family.
When the whole family was sent down to the countryside, they encountered all kinds of attacks and criticisms. The old and the weak all accepted their fate, but Fu Xiuhuai was the only one who walked alone on the edge of the cliff, trying to carve out a way out for the Fu family.
After more than ten years of hard work, the Fu family became a well-known wealthy family in Jiangcheng. The entire Fu family knew that Fu Xiuhuai was the reliable person that they could rely on.
At this moment, Fu Xiuhuai's calm and plain words were like a stone falling into a calm lake, causing ripples.
Anyone could hear that Fu Xiuhuai's emotions were not as calm as his tone.
Fu Mingjun forced himself to look at his uncle. His uncle, who had always been tolerant and loving to him for the past twenty years, had changed. Deep in his seemingly calm eyes seemed to be accumulating anger and dissatisfaction.
In just a moment, Fu Mingjun felt a chill on his back and he no longer had the courage to answer.
"Of course not to a garment factory!" Zhang Meiying was worried that her son would go against his uncle and repeatedly provoke Fu Xiuhuai, saying, "Your father is the director of a steel factory. Why are you going to a garment factory? This kid is really confused."
Fu Xiutong actually appreciated his son's decision not to use connections to gain a backdoor deal. "Hey, Mingjun, it's rare to see someone this ambitious. I think that's great."
Zhang Meiying was almost pissed off by the father and son, and she immediately became upset.
I really want to yell at my husband who is unaware of the situation, "Shut up!"
"Even if you don't want to use your connections, you can go somewhere else. Garment factories have a lot of female workers, so they're not suitable for Mingjun."
Fu Mingjun's slightly withdrawn thoughts were rekindled by his mother's strong opposition, and the rebellious power that was inspired burst out again: "Mom, I want to go to the garment factory. What's wrong with having more female workers? Doesn't the garment factory need male workers?"
"You--!" Zhang Meiying really wanted to slap her son to wake up this ignorant man, but the elders were at the dinner table, so she couldn't get angry.
"Sister-in-law, Mingjun has grown up, it's normal for him to have his own ideas." Fu Xiuhuai's palms, with veins visible on them, overlapped and formed a triangle, and he said loudly, "Otherwise, let me arrange Mingjun's work."
"That's great!" Zhang Meiying was troubled by the difficulty of this matter. It would be best to let Fu Xiuhuai handle it directly. She would rather give up and not care about anything. "I'm really sorry to trouble his uncle."
"No trouble." Fu Xiuhuai's sharp eyes swept over his unruly and unyielding nephew, "Just let Mingjun come to work in my company. I will personally watch over him and prevent the young man from taking detours and doing anything bad."
When Lin Wan heard this, she never expected that Fu Xiuhuai would actually bring Fu Mingjun into his company.
Originally, she thought that Fu Mingjun deliberately brought up the garment factory, which would inevitably involve her. She didn't know how chaotic it would be then. And it would also be weird if she really met Fu Mingjun every now and then at the garment factory.
Now, Fu Xiuhuai has taken the person away.
"I won't go!" How could Fu Mingjun agree to be controlled by his uncle and become his employee?
"If you don't go, everything your family has given you will be taken back, and your card will be stopped. It's not bad for you to be self-reliant..." Fu Xiuhuai separated his entwined palms and picked up a piece of beef for Lin Wan with his chopsticks. He said without any harsh words, "You can move out and work to earn money."
Those who control economic power have absolute say.
Especially when facing someone who provokes you, you can kill him with one blow.
No matter how reluctant Fu Mingjun was, he finally compromised after being persuaded by his parents and grandparents.
Fu Mingjun's fantasy of working in a garment factory was shattered, and he ended up finding himself under his uncle's nose. On his first day at work, he was thrown into a grassroots position for training.
"Don't expect to be lazy just because you're my nephew. Now that you're here, work hard." Fu Xiuhuai sat on the office chair and threw a pile of documents to Fu Mingjun. "Finish reading these first."
Fu Mingjun's eyes widened. "Uncle, you're targeting me on purpose! There's so much information, how can I possibly finish reading it?"
"If you can't finish it, just keep reading." Fu Xiuhuai stood up and straightened his suit, his shiny black leather shoes stepping on the ground. "Also, remember, call me Mr. Fu in the company. Your aunt is also your boss's wife."
Fu Mingjun: ...
***
Ever since Fu Mingjun was taken to work at Fu Xiuhuai's company, Lin Wan rarely met him.
Listening to Zhang Meiying chatting with the old man and the old lady, Fu Mingjun worked very seriously. He was so engrossed in the pile of information that he couldn't take his eyes off it. She had never seen him so motivated when she was studying.
He was rarely seen at dinner time at the Fu family, as he was said to be busy working. Fortunately, Fu Xiuhuai was generous and even provided dinner, so no one would go hungry.
A thought flashed through Lin Wan's mind, wondering if Fu Xiuhuai was targeting her on purpose. She had clearly heard Jiang Li from Kaihua Construction Company mention that Boss Fu generally did not let his employees work overtime.
At night, Lin Wan saw Fu Xiuhuai looking relaxed and wanted to ask, but she held back. It shouldn't be necessary, after all, Fu Mingjun was his nephew.
Fu Xiuhuai looked at Lin Wan and saw that she was hesitant to speak, so he took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong?"
Lin Wan shook her head: "Nothing."
"If Mingjun comes to harass you, tell me and I will discipline him."
Lin Wan: “…”
He is really justified.
......
Lin Wan didn't have the heart to think too much. In November, she went to the People's Hospital for a prenatal check-up accompanied by Fu Xiuhuai. As she watched the fetus in her belly grow gradually, the wonderful feeling in her heart grew day by day.
At the same time, because of Lin Wan's unexpected matchmaking, the Hong Kong investment that the garment factory attracted was also arranged by Deputy Director Wang, and Lin Wan assisted in following up.
Some of the trivial matters at hand were taken over by other colleagues. Lin Wan's focus recently was on connecting with investments. She faxed several contracts and documents to Hong Kong City one after another, and then planned and agreed on the upcoming funding and technical personnel guidance.
Seeing that Lin Wan was gaining more and more attention, Feng Tianjiao felt complicated. She told others that these were her "soldiers", but they were originally supposed to belong to her niece Feng Yan.
Thinking of Feng Yan, Feng Tianjiao suddenly had a headache. Looking around at the empty office seats, she couldn't help but sigh. This was the umpteenth time Feng Yan had asked for leave this month.
"Lin Wan, Feng Yan will be coming to work this afternoon. Tell her to come to my office."
"Okay." Lin Wan responded in the middle of her busy schedule and turned around to check the money.
Lunch is the best spice of work. The garment factory has a two-hour lunch break, which is enough for eating and resting.
At around 2:00 p.m., Lin Wan saw Feng Yan arriving late and quickly informed her, "Feng Yan, Director Feng asked you to go to her office."
Feng Yan was startled: "Director Feng, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"I don't know." Lin Wan told the truth.
Twenty minutes had passed since Feng Yan walked into Feng Tianjiao's office and came out, and Lin Wan was still checking the information.
A figure approached the desk, and Lin Wan raised her eyes and took a quick look: "What's wrong?"
"Comrade Lin Wan." Feng Yan looked around and saw that there was no one around. She lowered her voice and warned, "Don't tell anyone about the last time you saw me there."
Lin Wan was stunned for a second before she realized that Feng Yan was talking about the nightclub.
She never had the habit of gossiping about others, so she nodded.
"Don't worry, I will keep your whereabouts a secret." Feng Yan felt a little relieved.
Lin Wan was stunned again, then smiled: "Comrade Feng Yan, Secretary Sun and I went to talk to Deputy Director Wang about signing an investment contract with Hong Kong businessmen."
This person didn't know what he had misunderstood, but he still wanted to keep the secret from each other.
Feng Yan choked and couldn't say anything. She turned and left.
Lin Wan sorted out the details of the cooperation with Hong Kong businessman Chen Songxian and gave them to Deputy Director Wang. She checked the details and reported: "Deputy Director Wang, the technicians from there will arrive in Jiangcheng within two weeks. Our factory office will prepare for the reception."
"Well, I'm confident in your factory office's work." Deputy Director Wang was very satisfied. Thinking of the advanced candidates who were about to be selected, he reminded them, "By the way, the year-end advanced candidate selection is about to begin. Prepare a report on your ideological and political work. Remember to write it clearly. Also, I need a letter of recommendation from your director, and a copy of your ID and university diploma."
"Thank you, Deputy Director Wang!" Lin Wan was delighted to receive money for being selected as an advanced factory worker.
However, when Lin Wan got off work on time at 5 pm and returned to her bedroom after dinner to prepare materials, she was stunned for a moment.
Other information and documents are easy to find, but where is my university diploma?
I have no memory of the past year, so my university diploma is naturally very unfamiliar to me.
When Fu Xiuhuai returned home, he saw Lin Wan rummaging around for something. He took off his suit and said, "What are you looking for? It's rare to see you rummaging through boxes and cabinets."
"University diploma." Lin Wan blurted out, but she felt a little regretful as soon as she said it, wondering if it would make people feel strange.
Fu Xiuhuai didn't show any reaction. He hung his suit on the hanger, opened the door and left.
Not long after, the man returned with a small red-bottomed certificate and handed it to Lin Wan: "It's in my study."
Lin Wan took the graduation certificate with a guilty conscience. Looking at her name and the school she graduated from written on it, she seemed to see the passing time in a trance.
Lin Wan didn't understand why her graduation certificate was in Fu Xiuhuai's study, and she couldn't expose herself and ask. Just when she was about to pretend that nothing had happened, she heard the man explain himself.
"When you graduated, you joked about worrying about losing it, so I simply took it and put it in the drawer in the study where I keep important documents." Fu Xiuhuai said lightly, then turned around and asked, "Do you need your diploma for a job?"
"Hmm." Lin Wan felt something was a little strange, but Fu Xiuhuai's question diverted her attention. "I'll use it for the year-end evaluation."
"You're really impressive. You've been recognized as an advanced worker not long after joining the factory." Fu Xiuhuai recalled the past. "Would you like to see your outstanding graduate certificate from university? It's in my study."
Lin Wan had no idea that she was named an outstanding graduate when she graduated from university. Upon hearing this, she just nodded.
Fu Xiuhuai's study was right next to their bedroom. Lin Wan had never been there before, but this time she followed him in and saw that there was a glass bookcase against the wall in the simple and elegant study, and a mahogany desk in front of the bookcase.
"The certificate is in the left drawer of the desk, and the key is in the yellow notebook in the right drawer."
Lin Wan successfully opened the drawer according to Fu Xiuhuai's instructions, and found her outstanding graduation certificate among a stack of documents inside.
As if she had regained some of the good times she had lost in her memory, Lin Wan looked at the certificate again and again, gazing into the past through the thin pages...but suddenly realized something...Fu Xiuhuai was not at all surprised that she could not remember where the important information was stored, and even took the initiative to guide and remind her.
"Have you guessed something?" Lin Wan clutched the certificate tightly and looked at the man.
I guessed that I had no memory of the past period of time.
