Upon hearing Qian Duoduo's question, Fu Gan and Fu Kun both fell into a brief silence. Fu Gan glanced at Fu Kun beside him, then unconsciously scratched his head, remaining silent with his lips tightly closed. Fu Kun, however, unlike his somewhat reserved older brother, answered directly, "We both only graduated from junior high school."
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo frowned slightly and said softly, "Such an educational background is indeed a bit low." Although her tone was calm, the meaning behind it was self-evident.
At this moment, Fu Laogen, who had been sitting to the side, saw Qian Duoduo's expression and quickly interjected with a smile, "Oh dear, what does a degree matter! With our kinship, who would dare to say a word against us?"
However, Qian Duoduo ignored Fu Laogen. She shook her head firmly and said slowly, "Uncle Fu, you're not quite right. Our Wanmao Group has strict requirements for management personnel. They must have a university degree. Even a high school diploma doesn't meet the requirements."
Fu Laogen was still not convinced and continued to retort with a smile: "My dear niece, look at Jin Shen and his brother. They only have high school educations, but they are still managers now. My dear niece, don't think that I, an old man, don't know anything."
With a faint smile on her face, Qian Duoduo calmly looked at Fu Laogen and said, "The two cousins from the Jin family did indeed only have a high school diploma before. However, after five years of unremitting efforts, they successfully completed adult university and now both have legitimate university diplomas!"
Otherwise, how could I possibly entrust them with managing their own responsibilities? After all, this is my company, and the employees they oversee are all genuine university graduates, including some with master's degrees. If they had only a high school diploma to begin with, without further education, they certainly wouldn't be able to command respect.
At this point, Qian Duoduo paused slightly, then turned her gaze to Fu Laogen, who was sitting to the side and whose expression was becoming increasingly unpleasant. She continued, "Uncle Fu, I'm running a business, not some kind of charity. Every penny I have here is hard-earned; it's all thanks to the tireless work of my brothers and sisters! Especially our sales staff, who are constantly running around trying to drum up business, their legs are practically giving out! So, if anyone wants to work for my company, they'd better see if they're willing to put in the hard work!"
Upon hearing these words, Fu Laogen's face instantly turned extremely gloomy. He slammed his fist on the table and roared angrily, "Niece, what do you mean by saying that? Do you think we relatives are so worthless?"
Qian Duoduo's lips curled into a slight smile as she looked at Fu Laogen, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes. She spoke in an icy tone, "Oh ho, Grandpa Fu, you've got some serious skills! But as soon as you see me, you start babbling on and on, talking about work one minute and wanting to be an official the next. I really want to ask you, what kind of person do you take me for?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Laogen felt as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat, and he choked on the spot. He muttered to himself: Could he tell her that he didn't take her seriously at all and thought he could easily fool a woman like her? But this woman in front of him was a person in charge of a large enterprise, with many people under her command, and right now he was the one who needed her help.
Thinking of this, Fu Laogen quickly put on a smile and flattered Qian Duoduo with all sorts of compliments, almost praising her as a fairy who was unparalleled in heaven and earth.
However, no matter how eloquently Fu Laogen tried to please her, Qian Duoduo remained unmoved and refused to budge. Finally, Fu Laogen could no longer bear it, trembling with anger. He angrily flung his sleeves, turned around, and stormed off with his two sons.
All the way back, the father and his two sons had gloomy faces and didn't say a word. After returning to the county town, Fu Laogen went straight to the post office, picked up the phone without saying a word, dialed a number in Pengcheng, and began to roar into the receiver, venting all his resentment on Fu Ning on the other end of the phone, cursing Fu Ning from head to toe.
Fu Ning felt utterly helpless. Actually, she had already mentioned to Jin Shen the possibility of getting her brothers jobs at Wanmao Group. After all, given Jin Shen's current high position, his generous monthly salary was unmatched by most! Naturally, she hoped her brothers could earn a lot of money and build new houses!
However, every time this matter was brought up, Jin Shen would explain with a troubled expression, "Honey, all personnel changes in the company must be strictly reviewed by the group's human resources department, and every change is recorded in detail and kept on file. Although I hold a high position, I really have no decision-making power over this!" Hearing this, Fu Ning could only think of another way.
So, on a whim, she suggested that the brothers try their luck with Qian Duoduo. However, to her utter surprise, Qian Duoduo was so unreasonable, refusing to give her even the slightest bit of face. Therefore, Fu Ning sat at home for a long time and came up with a good idea!
When Jin Shen returned home after a busy day at work, he was surprised to find his wife meticulously orchestrating a clever "honey trap." He thought he would succumb to such temptation, but to his surprise, he not only successfully resisted the sugar-coated bullet attack, but also cleverly devoured the sugar coating, then threw the bullet back at her.
Not only that, Jin Shen, who took advantage of his wife and acted innocent, even took the opportunity to give her a very vivid lesson in persuasion.
After this incident, Fu Ning couldn't help but reflect and deeply felt that she could no longer blindly follow her father's ideas, otherwise wouldn't she be letting down the good man in front of her who was so devoted to her?
So when Fu Laogen called her the second time, she didn't offer the same advice as before, which displeased Fu Laogen. He berated her again, which made Fu Ning very unhappy. She was almost 40 years old and was being scolded so harshly. She suddenly realized that her husband was right; now that she was married, she should take care of her own family first before considering others.
