After Wu Changfeng finished speaking...
Everyone was stunned. Except for the children who were still happily munching on chicken, everyone else was dumbfounded.
In this era when women's rights have not made any substantial progress.
It is a consensus that men should be in charge.
The shopkeeper, well, that's the head of the household.
Wu Changfeng said that Lan Detao was not effective, and that his elder sister, Wu Changxiu, was a higher priority than Lan Detao.
How could this not leave everyone dumbfounded?
Before Lan Detao could even speak, Wu Changxiu was the first to lash out at Wu Changfeng with some resentment: "What nonsense are you spouting? Lan Detao is the one who calls the shots in my family."
Wu Changfeng replied, "Forget it, if I don't teach Lan Detao a lesson, Mom and Dad will have to subsidize you."
"Look at the kind of life you live. Your family isn't short of money, at least they're richer than the average family, right? Look at what you're dressed like, even the maid is better off than you."
"Anyone who didn't know better would think you came from a remote mountain village."
"What kind of mess is this?!"
Wu Changxiu rolled her eyes: "That's called being diligent and thrifty in managing a household."
"Isn't it all controlled by Lan Detao?" Wu Changfeng retorted. "If you don't practice thrift, you won't even have pocket money left."
Wu Changfeng had no choice but to ask Lan Detao, "Is that right? You've really made my sister very frugal."
Lan Detao was sweating profusely.
I really want to slap Wu Changfeng across the face.
How my family lives is none of your business.
That's meddling way too much.
But then I thought, Wu Changfeng is the driver of the big boss of Qimingxing. Whether he can succeed is hard to say, but he is definitely more than capable of causing trouble!
We can't afford to offend them!
Lan Detao smiled apologetically: "Hey, Xiu, how could you do this! Our family may not be rich or powerful, but we still have some extra money, so just spend it! It's almost the New Year, and you haven't even bought a few new clothes. Don't try to save me any money."
Wu Changxiu glared at him, clearly displeased with Lan Detao's insincere words.
Does that mean I don't want to buy clothes?
You're such a miser! Your stinginess is infuriating!
Wu Changfeng waved his hand: "Brother-in-law, stop acting. We all know each other. Isn't it because you don't give my sister any money? You don't care where a single penny goes."
"What, you're not the factory manager, but the accountant?"
Lan Detao shook his head repeatedly: "No way! Your sister was too embarrassed to ask me for money, I thought I had enough change, it's all a misunderstanding!"
Wu Changfeng raised his glass, clinked it with Lan Detao's, and said with a smile, "Then how do we clear up the misunderstanding? My boss and I can talk about anything."
Lan Detao's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Brother, since we've come this far, let's do it!"
"I'll give the passbook to your sister right now, she can spend it as she pleases!"
Wu Changfeng glanced at it: "So sincere?"
"Absolutely! Come on, I'll start and set an example for you!"
Lan Detao downed his drink in one gulp, then quickly handed the bankbook to Wu Changxiu: "Xiu, keep this safe. If you need money, just go and withdraw it. Don't ask me. Buy whatever you want. I have no objections."
Wu Changxiu noticed that Lan Detao was acting out of character.
There was joy and worry in my heart.
Is this a trap?
Does going home mean you have to go back?
Wu Changxiu glanced at Wu Changfeng, puzzled.
What method did you use to make Lan Detao submit?
This is unbelievable!
Wu Changfeng said, "Sister, take this. From now on, you'll be in charge of the accounts. If my brother-in-law dares to bare his teeth, I'll make him regret it!"
Lan Detao quickly said, "Why would I show my teeth? Seriously."
Wu Changxiu then happily put away the passbook in his pocket and said with a smile, "My little brother is really amazing!"
Lan Detao turned to Wu Changfeng and asked, "Um... any news lately?"
Wu Changfeng naturally understood what he meant.
They were asking if there were any more orders.
Believe it or not, there really is. After the construction in Jiangcheng was completed, the researchers who moved in all needed work clothes.
Moreover, these are not ordinary work clothes; they are high-end dustproof suits, gloves, and so on.
This thing is a consumable.
It has to be thrown away after a few uses, and if it's damaged, it's impossible to repair, so it's consumed even faster.
Putting everything else aside, Lan Detao is also a relative of Wu Changfeng.
When his predecessor was still a thug who got into trouble for fighting, Lan Detao reluctantly took the money to bail him out.
Well, if Wu Changfeng didn't have a certain status here, he would definitely be looked down upon by Lan Detao.
Once Wu Changfeng has a certain status, people will take advantage of it to climb the social ladder.
Lan Detao wouldn't call himself a petty person, but he is somewhat of a snob.
Sigh, even though my older sister got married there.
I'll help if I can.
But Wu Changfeng glanced at Lan Detao.
This guy's factory is just a clothing factory. It can make ordinary clothes for the general public, but does he have the capability to make industrial dustproof clothing?
Wu Changfeng said, "There is news."
Upon hearing this, Lan Detao was overjoyed, as if he was certain of winning the subsequent orders.
So he poured Wu Changfeng another drink and asked, "What news?"
Wu Changfeng didn't answer, but instead asked, "Have you finished the work uniform order?"
Lan Detao nodded, then shook his head: "It'll be done soon. We'll start work after the New Year, and it'll be finished in a week. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you directly, right?"
"That should be enough for you to live for a while, what's the rush?"
Lan Detao exclaimed, "Brother, you have no idea! To meet this order for work uniforms, I even poached a bunch of employees from state-owned garment factories. If we don't get any more orders, I'll have to be laid off on the spot!"
Wu Changfeng choked on his drink: "You're being too reckless! Adding employees without any follow-up orders is a big no-no."
