This guy was also bald and wore a gold chain, just like Qi Si before he met Qin Xiaoyu.
"It's alright, we'll just talk to Wang Jian for a bit and then leave," Qin Xiaoyu said with a forced smile, sensing the shift in the atmosphere.
"Let's talk about it now, in front of us." The foreman didn't give Qin Xiaoyu any face.
"What? You've gone too far! Do you think it's your place to interfere in my affairs?" Qi Si was humiliated and immediately lost face.
"Qi Si? So you're Qi Si, the famous one. It's not worth getting worked up over a little kid. Whoever you are, I'm going to take care of Wang Jian's business." The foreman had heard of Qi Si's reputation, but with so many brothers watching on his turf, he couldn't back down.
"Fuck you!" Qi Si had a fiery temper and didn't bother to explain. He raised his hand and threw a punch. The foreman was also a former laborer. Although he didn't work anymore, he was physically strong and took the punch. But the people behind him weren't having it. They swarmed around him, all ready to fight.
"Don't move! This is my dad! My dad wants me to come home!" Wang Jian shouted anxiously.
"Your father?" Everyone was stunned.
"Your surname is Wang, so why is your father's surname Qi?" The foreman was completely confused. Everyone thought Wang Jian was a poor kid, so how could he have such a powerful background?
“He’s my godfather. I ran away from home because I was disobedient, and he came looking for me.” Wang Jian simply stated the truth and admitted his mistake.
"Oh, you should have said so earlier! Alright, everyone disperse and get back to work!" The foreman waved his hand, indicating that he was letting it go and was quite magnanimous.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I lost my temper just now. Thank you for taking care of my son, I'm taking him with me. If you guys want to eat at my shop, just mention it, it's on me!" Qi Si quickly stepped forward to give the foreman face.
It's righteous of them to stand up for Wang Jian.
“We’re all family, no need for formalities. This child is very nice, we all like him. Come on, come on, it’s alright!” the foreman said politely.
"You brat!" Qi Si's anger subsided when he heard Wang Jian call him "Dad." He grabbed Wang Jian by the back of the neck, shook him a few times, and then put his arm around Wang Jian's shoulder and walked him outside.
"I'm dirty." Wang Jian shrank back.
"You're dirty, you deserve to be dirty!" Qi Si hugged her even tighter.
Qi Si took them directly to a restaurant. Wang Jian hadn't had a proper meal in a while. He didn't dare spend all the money he earned from his work, and his family would come to ask for more from time to time, so he could only save money on his food.
Seeing him devour the entire table of food in a flash, Qi Si and Qin Xiaoyu could only sigh in dismay.
"Is this enough? Shall we order another one?" Qin Xiaoyu asked worriedly, knowing that a teenager could eat a lot.
"I'm full, I'm about to burst." Wang Jian grinned. He's still a child at heart. As long as he's full and someone cares about him, his life is complete.
"Come home with us. If anyone dares to come to your house again, I'll kick them out!" Qi Si lit a cigarette and blew out a smoke ring.
"No, they are still my family. No matter how I cut ties, it will still hurt. I'm not going back." Wang Jian felt a lump in his throat when he heard his family mentioned. He lowered his head, and tears streamed down his face.
"You're such a coward! What are you afraid of? They don't even treat you like family, and you're still a spineless coward who lets them bully you..." Qi Si was about to lose his temper again.
"Brother, you don't understand. Don't make things difficult for him." Qin Xiaoyu understood Wang Jian's feelings best. Qi Si was not that sensitive, so he couldn't understand.
"Then what do you suggest we do? Just make him carry the heavy load?" Qi Si angrily stubbed out his cigarette and strode out.
“Wang Jian, let me send you away from this place. Go to Shanghai or the provincial capital and start working. Although I should let you finish high school, it’s a bit difficult now. I hope you can break away from them, so the farther you go, the better.”
"Go to Shanghai? The provincial capital?" Wang Jian's eyes lit up, and his hope was rekindled.
"Where do you choose to go?"
"The provincial capital is closer," Wang Jian said hesitantly.
Qin Xiaoyu knew that he still couldn't bear to part with Xiao Jin. The provincial capital was nearby, and Xiao Jin might be able to go and see him.
"Then let's go to the provincial capital. I'll entrust you to Jiang Fusheng. Your uncle is very reliable and capable. Learn business from him. Our family business will be huge in the future, and sooner or later we'll need your help. What do you say?" Qin Xiaoyu finally smiled.
Qi Si finally smiled when he heard that Wang Jian had been sent to Jiang Fusheng.
"Go home first, change your clothes, look at what you look like!" Qi Si didn't dare touch Wang Jian now, because he would choke if he touched him.
“Don’t go home. Go to the waiter and get him a change of clothes. Take him straight to the train station. I’ll buy him anything he needs in the provincial capital. Those people are cunning. If they find out where he’s going and he can’t afford a train ticket to the provincial capital, they might try to hitchhike there, causing Wang Jian unnecessary trouble.”
Qin Xiaoyu was worried about him going alone, so she simply bought a ticket and went with him.
"You're leaving without any luggage?" Qi Si asked again, still worried.
"Brother, who am I? Besides, in the provincial capital, with Fusheng around, it's like coming home. He's running a big department store, how could he possibly lack anything from me?" Qin Xiaoyu laughed.
"Dad, drink less alcohol." After getting on the train, Wang Jian raised the heavy window and looked at Qi Si on the platform. It took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence.
"That kid, we didn't spoil him for nothing." Qi Si turned and left, and Qin Xiaoyu waved to his back.
Qin Xiaoyu took Wang Jian to the provincial capital without informing Jiang Fusheng beforehand. Firstly, they didn't have cell phones, making communication inconvenient, and secondly, it was also to conduct an assessment.
Tang Wenwen went to Shanghai, leaving the entire counter business to Jiang Fusheng, to see if he would treat it like his own business.
When they arrived at the No. 1 Department Store, it was almost closing time. It must be said that Jiang Fusheng was a strict manager; the sales staff did not panic and prepare to leave. Instead, they patiently and enthusiastically served the last few customers.
There were no customers at the counter; the sales staff were busy sweeping and tidying up the counter.
Seeing Qin Xiaoyu stop, a salesperson came up to her.
"Hello, how can I help you..., Factory Director Qin?"
"It's me. I'm here to take care of something. Is Manager Jiang here?"
"He seems to be having a meeting upstairs. The floor manager and our supervisor are also up there. Should I go find him?" the sales clerk said enthusiastically.
"No need, thank you. Just give me an outfit, this one, and this one." Qin Xiaoyu asked for two changes of clothes, had the sales clerk pack them up, and asked them to issue the receipt.
"Does Factory Manager Qin still need to make payment? Can we just process the transaction directly?" the salesperson asked, puzzled.
"Pay directly, that's the rule, and no one can be an exception." This was Qin Xiaoyu's intention. She had quite a few people on her side, and if she opened up the door, anyone could just come and take a piece of clothing and leave, making it difficult to manage in the future.
While Jiang Fusheng was still away, Qin Xiaoyu bought a lot of daily necessities for Wang Jian on the way.
"Aunt Qin, don't buy any more, I have enough." Wang Jian couldn't hold back when he saw Qin Xiaoyu pick up a bottle of conditioner.
