Mo Yuan didn't say anything, after all, it was only natural to respond to Mo Shuisheng's flattery. Mo Yuan smiled and said, "Alright, Brother Shuisheng, then I'll leave things here to you and everyone else! I don't understand anything about this, I just did a rough draft according to my own ideas, as long as you can understand it! Just do it this way, if there are any problems or missing items, just tell Gouzi, he'll be in charge of running errands and taking care of everyone, and if anything is missing, he'll tell me so I can prepare!"
Mo Shuisheng immediately patted his chest and assured Mo Yuan, "Brother, don't worry, we'll definitely do our best. We're family, so I won't stand on ceremony. Gouzi has been clever since he was a puppy, and he's got a bright future ahead of him. He'll definitely be on the right track following you!"
Mo Yuan chuckled, thinking to himself that this dog was indeed clever. No wonder he was a childhood friend he had played with when he was young; he knew how to say things to make people happy.
"Alright, you go ahead and do your thing. I'll have Brother Gouzi pass on any message to you!" Mo Shuisheng said.
Mo Yuan was happy to be a hands-off manager, so he exchanged a few polite words with Mo Shuisheng and then turned to leave.
Before leaving, he glanced at the dog and gave it an encouraging look. This small gesture immediately filled the dog with energy, as if its whole body was brimming with strength.
As Mo Yuan walked, he thought to himself, "Doggy, you'd better do a good job and not let me down."
He has high expectations for Gouzi, believing that Gouzi can develop his talents through this gradual learning process and become an excellent manager.
That dog is incredibly hardworking; compared to me, he's worlds apart. Perhaps this is what they mean by "a poor man's child learns to be independent early." Thinking about myself, as the youngest child in the family, I've been pampered since childhood and have hardly experienced any hardship.
The tragedy of his previous life was mostly self-inflicted; if he hadn't acted recklessly, perhaps everything would have been different. In contrast, Gouzi is more like a true protagonist, enduring hardship but refusing to succumb to fate.
His father passed away early, leaving him and his mother to depend on each other. The burden of life fell on his frail shoulders far too early. However, he did not give up, but instead tried his best to take on more responsibility and help ease his mother's burden.
It was this difference in personality that led to the brothers gradually drifting apart as they grew up. Mo Yuan always liked to hang out with some shady friends, while Gouzi took on the responsibilities of the family at a young age.
He remembered the first time he saw Gouzi after his rebirth; Gouzi was by the river, pondering how to catch fish to supplement his family's income. In his previous life, Gouzi had helped him out. Now, reborn, he decided to take Gouzi to see the wider world, to let him learn alongside him, believing that with Gouzi's unwavering perseverance, he would surely amount to something.
Gouzi watched Mo Yuan's figure recede into the distance, his heart filled with emotion and reflection. He couldn't help but recall the encouraging look Mo Yuan had given him earlier, a warm feeling washing over him. Gouzi knew that behind that look lay Mo Yuan's trust and expectations for him.
Gouzi remembered his mother's words: "My child, you must study hard so that you can acquire a skill, live a stable life, get married, and have children. That would make me content." His mother told him that Mo Yuan had become mature, stable, sensible, and good at making money, possessing many skills. Even if Gouzi could only learn a little from him, whether it was business or something else, it would be enough for him to support himself in the future. However, Gouzi clearly realized that Mo Yuan's regard for him far exceeded these superficial expectations.
Gouzi remembered when Mo Yuan wholeheartedly invited him to set up a breakfast stall together. Even though they weren't making a profit yet, Mo Yuan had already considered how to help Gouzi increase his income.
Later, when they started earning money, Mo Yuan didn't hesitate to raise Gouzi's salary. Gouzi would never forget the first time he handed his earnings to his mother. His mother's hands trembled with excitement, and tears welled up in her eyes. As she counted the money, she said with relief, "My son has finally grown up and can support the family!" This scene was deeply imprinted in Gouzi's memory.
Not only that, Gouzi originally thought that he could easily earn money every day by working at Mo Yuan's pan-fried bun stall, and he wouldn't have to neglect his work in the fields in the afternoon. It was simply the happiest job in the world. Moreover, he could use the money he had to buy his mother some delicious food so that she could try something new.
However, recently, Gouzi started to think that living a peaceful life like this might not be so bad. When he learned that Mo Yuan was going to transfer him from the stall, he felt a little disappointed. But when Mo Yuan explained his thoughts, Gouzi immediately accepted the new task. Not only because Mo Yuan promised to continue paying him his salary, but more importantly, he understood Mo Yuan's intention—to have him follow him around and help handle various matters.
This was a rare opportunity for Gouzi, allowing him to learn new skills and stay close to Mo Yuan. Gouzi knew Mo Yuan was a glutton and never skimped on his food, so he believed that as long as he stayed close, he would definitely get to taste delicious food too. For Gouzi, this was undoubtedly the happiest thing in the world.
Gouzi knew Mo Yuan very well, so he felt very reassured when Mo Yuan entrusted things to him and Brother Shuisheng. So, Mo Yuan started doing what he used to do in the coal mine—handling logistics.
With twenty or thirty people working busily, Mo Yuan had previously promised to provide two meals a day. Although today was the first day of work, there was no breakfast because everyone was too busy.
