Chapter 66 Li Guojun: Why bother sucking up to him when you've already lost your job?



After a while, Chen Zhiyuan returned carrying two bottles of good wine and placed them in front of Chen Dazhu.

"Dad, I've bought some good wine."

Chen Dazhu nodded, then gave Li Junsheng a fake smile and said, "I don't know what kind of wine you like to drink. Zhiyuan just bought two bottles today. Don't mind them, we'll make do with them later!"

Li Junsheng curled the corners of his mouth, leaned back on the sofa, and said casually, "Drink up, this is free wine, might as well drink it."

"Forehead?"

Upon hearing Li Junsheng's words, Chen Dazhu was completely dumbfounded and didn't know what to say!

Li Junsheng, you don't have to just say it like that if you want to take advantage of someone, do you?

It's truly... indescribable. This is the first time Chen Dazhu has ever been so thoroughly outmaneuvered!

Chen Zhiyuan, standing to the side, was amused by Li Junsheng's words and opened his mouth to mock him, but Chen Dazhu kept giving him meaningful glances, telling him to keep quiet.

"Hehe, as long as you don't mind, then drink more later. Now that you're retired, Old Li, you have nothing to worry about!"

"I envy you for living like this. You worked in a big company when you were young, and you still have connections and abilities even in your old age. You are more capable than many people."

Chen Dazhu fawned over Li Junsheng, and Li Junsheng genuinely didn't know how to respond.

I might as well just let him flatter me like that!

“I heard from Zhiyuan that many people in the factory still talk about you. It’s clear that you’re doing very well in the factory and have excellent interpersonal relationships.”

"In that case, let Zhiyuan give the job back to me?"

Li Junsheng's rhetorical question left Chen Dazhu speechless, unsure of what to say!

His intention was to flatter Li Junsheng, but he ended up making a fool of himself.

After a long silence, Li Junsheng smiled and jokingly said, "I was just kidding."

Chen Dazhu's smile was forced, and he began to flatter Li Junsheng more sincerely!

As noon approached, the eldest couple, who had been sleeping inside, got up to wash and prepare for lunch.

When Li Guojun saw Chen Dazhu and his son arrive again, he didn't give them a friendly look, his face cold, as if they didn't exist!

I have no idea what those two are doing here again; I've already sold all my jobs to them!

Li Guojun and Wang Xiuhua went to the kitchen to see what they could cook, only to find Ma Yulian already cooking.

The pan was filled with slices of lean and fatty meat, and there were also pieces of chopped chicken on the side!

It was obvious that they were going to treat Chen Dazhu and his son to a big meal.

Looking at myself, I can only eat a bowl of plain noodles, without even an egg in it!

Li Guojun was so angry that he wanted to smash the whole kitchen.

Seeing Chen Dazhu and Li Junsheng sitting in the living room, and Chen Dazhu still praising Li Junsheng, Li Guojun walked over and deliberately mocked Chen Dazhu!

"Uncle Chen, you've taken my dad's job away from him, so why are you still trying to curry favor with him and say nice things to make him happy?"

In Li Guojun's view, Li Junsheng is no longer of any value, so there is no need to coax him!

Chen Dazhu was watching the drama unfold in his mind, but on the surface, he still spoke up for Li Junsheng and praised him.

"Jun'er, what are you saying? I'm not trying to flatter your dad or make him happy. I'm telling the truth. Your dad is indeed capable!"

Li Guojun sneered, his expression one of utter disdain.

Chen Dazhu then turned to look at Li Junsheng, taking the opportunity to test him and shower him with praise!

“Old Li, why don’t you explain this to Jun’er? I saw you at the factory last night, you seemed quite impressive, everyone was very respectful and polite to you. Even without your job at the machinery factory, you’re doing very well, it’s nothing like what the Nationalist army said.”

Chen Dazhu deliberately revealed Li Junsheng's high spirits at the machinery factory last night in order to arouse Li Guojun's curiosity!

At that time, Chen Dazhu won't need to inquire himself; Li Guojun will ask Li Junsheng for him.

As expected, Li Guojun quickly fell for Chen Dazhu's trick upon hearing this!

"What do you mean? Others were being respectful and courteous to my dad?"

Chen Dazhu nodded in agreement, and bluntly told Li Guojun, "You don't know this, do you? Your dad has a new way to make money, and it's really not simple!"

"Dad, is that really true? You've come up with some new way to make money?"

"Yes, Dad, if there's such a good thing, why didn't you tell the family?"

Li Guojun and Wang Xiuhua immediately pressed Li Junsheng for answers, their eyes like hungry wolves eyeing a lamb!

Wang Xiuhua, in particular, harbored resentment towards Li Junsheng. She felt that her father-in-law hadn't told the family about such a good thing beforehand, and that the man surnamed Chen had his eye on it.

Is Li Guojun really his biological son?

Now, Chen Dazhu and his son, as well as his own son and daughter-in-law, have all come to him and are asking him questions.

Li Junsheng couldn't make things up anymore, and besides, his business was already quite large; they would find out sooner or later!

Let's just confirm what Chen Dazhu said today and give them a little hint.

"It's not as serious as Old Chen said. I was just a temporary worker, responsible for escorting the trucks and loading/unloading. I just happened to be at the machinery factory last night to load and unload some things!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guojun and Wang Xiuhua were somewhat dismissive, thinking he had done something significant!

However… Li Guojun thought it was a good thing that his own father was doing temporary work, and he could probably get some money from him every now and then.

Incidentally, Li Guojun said disdainfully to Chen Dazhu, "It's just a temporary job, not as impressive as you flatter me. Uncle Chen has a slightly higher standard!"

Chen Dazhu was unhappy and quite annoyed with Li Guojun.

At the same time, he was also skeptical of Li Junsheng's words!

Last night, he didn't see Li Junsheng move anything; instead, he was chatting with the leader the whole time.

Li Junsheng is definitely lying. I need to find out exactly how much money he makes!

Thinking of this, Chen Dazhu asked with concern, "Loading and unloading things is not easy. How much do they pay you? If it's not suitable, you shouldn't do this hard work anymore. Look for something else."

Li Junsheng glanced at Chen Dazhu; this guy was not someone who could be easily fooled.

After thinking for a moment, Li Junsheng decided to go along with what he was saying!

"The monthly salary is forty or fifty yuan. After all, it's tiring physical work. If the pay isn't high, no one would want to do it. It's better than working in a machine factory, but it's still more tiring."

Chen Dazhu still refused to believe it; was it really that simple?

Chen Zhiyuan, on the other hand, widened his eyes in surprise!

He cursed inwardly, "That old bastard Li Junsheng, how come he can find such a good job after leaving the machine factory!"

It makes his job at the machinery factory, which he bought for over a thousand yuan, seem like that of a clown. How come this old man is so lucky!

Chen Zhiyuan was extremely dissatisfied.
