After lunch, slightly tipsy, Feng Haidong sat chatting with his father-in-law and brother-in-law Lu Yaobin in the courtyard of his parents-in-law's house.
Lu Yue was sleeping in her aunt's room with her aunt and her other aunt.
Feng Qifan didn't want to take a nap, so he simply moved a small stool and sat next to his father to eavesdrop.
Seeing Lu Feng's eldest brother-in-law and second brother chatting with Lu Feng's father in the courtyard, Gu Lin quietly asked Lu Feng, "Why don't you go and chat with your dad, eldest brother-in-law, and second brother?"
Lu Feng said somewhat embarrassedly, "My dad, my brother-in-law, and my second brother are probably talking about company matters, so I can't get a word in edgewise."
Gu Lin immediately said, "How can you not get a word in edgewise? Aren't you going to work at your second brother's company too? If you don't understand the company's affairs, how can you go to work? Hurry up and go, chat with them. Even if you can't speak, you can sit on the side and listen."
While pushing Lu Feng to listen, Gu Lin also instructed, "Remember, listen carefully to what your brother-in-law has to say."
Lu Feng was somewhat puzzled: "Why should we listen to what my brother-in-law has to say?"
Gu Lin said, "You don't understand. I think your brother-in-law is very capable. Just think, not only can he publish articles in the newspaper himself, but he can also guide his son to publish articles in the newspaper."
"And didn't you hear what your second brother said at lunch? His idea to open a company in the provincial capital was also suggested by your eldest brother-in-law. He even used his cousin's connections in the provincial capital. So, the company's operation will definitely be decided by your eldest brother-in-law."
Lu Feng said, "You guessed wrong. My brother-in-law is indeed good at writing articles, but when it comes to advertising, my second brother definitely calls the shots. I told you before, the first giant billboard in our city was built by my second brother and his team, so my second brother knows a lot about this area."
Gu Lin said, "Then you should hurry over there, listen to what they have to say, and learn something."
Urged by his girlfriend, Lu Feng finally carried the stool over.
As for Gu Lin, seeing that there was nothing else to do, she went to Lu Wanhong's bedroom and chatted with the Lu Wanling and Lu Wanhong sisters.
Feng Haidong chatted at his father-in-law's house until four or five in the afternoon. He said he needed to go home to prepare for setting up his stall at the night market that evening, so he left first. He also instructed Lu Yaobin to set up the company as soon as possible, and then go with him to talk to Ding Huaixiao about the project next week.
Lu Yaobin readily agreed: "Brother-in-law, don't worry. Give me two days, and I guarantee I'll get the company up and running for you."
Upon hearing his second son's words, Lu Chengzong also reminded him, "Third son, stop making empty promises and just do your job properly."
Lu Yaobin quickly replied, "Dad, I know, don't worry."
Feng Haidong said to his father-in-law, "Dad, we should trust our third son this time. He should be able to do a good job, and it's rare for him to be so serious."
Lu Chengzong nodded after hearing what his eldest son-in-law said, and finally said to his youngest son, "Xiao Wu, you'll be with your second brother next week."
Lu Feng quickly agreed, "Okay, Dad, I'll go with my second brother next week."
Lu Yaobin was naturally willing to bring his younger brother along: "Xiao Wu will definitely have no problem coming with me."
After finishing their business, Feng Haidong said goodbye to his parents-in-law and rode his bicycle home with his wife and children.
Gu Lin stood at the intersection, watching Feng Haidong ride away on his bicycle. She said to Lu Feng beside her, "Your brother-in-law is quite capable, but he seems a bit stingy. His bicycle is too old. He already runs a company; he should get a new one."
Lu Feng said, "My brother-in-law's business is just starting out, so he definitely needs to spend all his money on it. He'll naturally try to save as much as possible for himself."
Gu Lin added, "In this respect, your brother-in-law is not as good as your second brother. Look how well your second brother is dressed! I just saw that he's wearing designer brands. Your second brother looks like a big boss when he goes out like this, which makes it easier for him to close deals with people."
Lu Feng disagreed: "My second brother has always been a spendthrift since he was a child. My parents and eldest sister always talk to him about it, so I think we can't let my second brother manage the money in the company in the future."
Gu Lin said, "How can that be called wasting money? When you go out to do business with people now, you have to have presence. Your brother-in-law doesn't have that kind of presence, but your second brother has a lot of presence. That's how you close big deals and accomplish great things."
Hearing Gu Lin say this, Lu Feng couldn't help but ask with some doubt: "Really?"
Gu Lin said, "Of course, you should learn more from your second brother in the future."
At this moment, Lu Feng was a bit confused by his girlfriend. One minute she was telling him to learn more from his eldest sister's husband, and the next she was telling him to learn more from his second brother. He didn't know who he should learn from.
Feng Haidong rode his bicycle home with his wife and son.
He and his wife changed their clothes and got busy, while their son obediently did his homework on his own.
The couple chatted as they brushed crayfish under the persimmon tree in their yard.
Lu Wanling asked, "What do you think of Xiao Wu as a girlfriend?"
Feng Haidong didn't know how to answer his wife, because in his past life, his current wife, who was his youngest brother-in-law's girlfriend, had indeed performed very well at first.
However, their relationship later began to have problems, and Lu Feng was constantly being manipulated by the other party.
He even knelt down in front of his mother-in-law and her mother to beg her not to break up with him, which almost made his mother-in-law so angry that she was hospitalized.
However, these are all things that happened in his previous life and beyond, and Feng Haidong cannot reveal those things now.
After thinking it over, he said, "Xiao Wu's girlfriend is very smart."
