To Feng Haidong's surprise, Liang Zhigang readily agreed to let his son Liang Cong go back with Feng Haidong and the others.
Liang Zhigang led his son Liang Cong to find Feng Haidong, first thanking Feng Haidong for believing in his son's abilities.
Then Liang Zhigang said, "Xiao Feng, I think your promise of a monthly salary of 1,000 is a bit too high. Liang Cong is still an apprentice, and he shouldn't be paid such a high salary."
Upon hearing Liang Zhigang's words, Feng Haidong quickly replied, "Master Liang, I believe that Master Liang is capable, so I am willing to pay him a sufficient fee. I only hope that you can let Master Liang come back with us to help us with the preliminary work, and then we can come back to purchase fish and shrimp fry."
Liang Zhigang looked at Feng Haidong and said, "Xiao Feng, I know you really want to learn the skills, and you also really want to do something for your hometown."
Feng Haidong said, "Master Liang, you don't need to flatter me like that. Essentially, I'm a businessman. I've seized the business opportunities in this, which is why I'm doing this. And what I'm doing now is for my elder sister, my brother-in-law, and the villagers of my birth village."
Secondly, for the sake of my own restaurant, whether it's shrimp farming or fish farming, my priority is always to ensure a sufficient supply for my own restaurant and to obtain higher-quality raw materials than others.
Liang Zhigang listened to Feng Haidong's very straightforward words and appreciated Feng Haidong's frankness.
"Xiao Feng, I really like your honesty. You're not like many people who come to learn technology, who just spout all sorts of slogans, or even shout things like why they're striving to achieve modernization."
There's really no need to shout those things. A person should first be able to do something for their own family. If you can't even do things for your own family, how can you possibly do anything for others?
So, based on your honesty, Xiao Feng, I'm willing to believe you're a truly pragmatic person.
Liang Zhigang paused briefly before saying, "But Liang Cong is still an apprentice. He's still figuring things out on his own. I don't want him to make so much money so early. People can get carried away when they make too much money. I hope he can work hard and stay grounded."
Feng Haidong understood Liang Zhigang's thoughts; he hoped his son could inherit his mantle.
Hopefully, Liang Cong can also devote himself to aquaculture research in the future.
It can truly provide good technical guidance for aquaculture across the country.
Feng Haidong believes that this is perhaps the persistence of a true scientific researcher.
He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll give Master Liang 500 yuan a month first, and then give him some meal allowance and accommodation allowance. If our breeding business is successful after a year, I'll give Master Liang more money."
Liang Zhigang thought for a moment, and it seemed he wanted to lower his son's treatment even further.
Feng Haidong quickly said, "Master Liang, these days in some parts of the south, skilled workers in some factories can earn three or four thousand yuan a month. If I give Master Liang less, I will really feel bad about it."
Seeing that Feng Haidong insisted, Liang Zhigang finally had no choice but to agree.
"Okay, then we'll do it your way."
Then Liang Zhigang instructed his son: "Xiaocong, you go with your brother Feng and the others. You must take good care of their fish farming and don't use their fish ponds for experiments."
Liang Cong was naturally very happy to see that his father agreed to let him go, and that Feng Haidong offered him a very good salary and benefits.
"Okay, Dad, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Brother Feng's fish and shrimp ponds and make sure they have a bumper harvest next year."
Feng Haidong laughed and said, "Hahaha, then we're really rid of Master Liang."
Fang Jianxing was also very happy, he didn't expect to find aquaculture technicians so easily.
In particular, the fact that Liang Cong could go there specifically to help them build a place for raising fish and shrimp made Fang Jianxing feel even more hopeful for the future.
After discussing it with Liang Zhigang and his son Liang Cong, Feng Haidong and Fang Jianxing decided to stay another day.
They let Liang Cong go home and reunite with his parents, and even let him visit his living grandparents.
Then he took Liang Cong and boarded the car for the return trip.
On the way back, Liang Congming was clearly on his first long trip and was full of curiosity about everything along the way.
Feng Haidong also gave Liang Cong a lot of explanations and even tried to let Liang Cong experience some things along the way.
When Liang Cong returned to the neighboring city with Feng Haidong, he couldn't help but say to Feng Haidong, "Brother Feng, you are such a good person. I have never met a boss like you. You have no airs at all, and you have spent so much money on me along the way."
Feng Haidong laughed and said, "Hahaha, is that all I'm going to do?"
Liang Cong nodded seriously: "Of course."
Feng Haidong said, "Actually, the reason I've treated you this way all this time is because I need you. You are a capable person, and we need capable people. You can bring me benefits in the future, so that's why I've been so good to you."
Liang Cong seemed to understand but not quite.
Feng Haidong then said more bluntly: "You must remember that there is no free lunch in this world. Apart from your parents, no one will be wholeheartedly good to you. My kindness to you is because you can bring me benefits, so don't easily believe that others are unconditionally good to you. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Liang Cong was stunned for a long time before he finally understood.
But Liang Cong was only in his early twenties and had always lived with his parents, so he still maintained a friendly attitude towards others.
“Brother Feng, I believe you are sincere to me, and I also believe you won’t let me suffer.”
When Feng Haidong heard Liang Cong say that, he really felt an urge to take him to see what adult activities were like.
However, he eventually abandoned that idea and decided to let Liang Cong keep this innocence.
Since they needed to return to the town from a nearby city, Feng Haidong simply invited Fan Mingqiang out again that evening.
Fan Mingqiang was naturally very enthusiastic and delighted to see Feng Haidong return.
"Haidong, your brother-in-law is really efficient. We've already received the samples, and they're really excellent. Our factory manager is overjoyed and wants your brother-in-law's company to come here and give him all the local billboards too."
Feng Haidong laughed and said, "Haha, Brother Fan, as long as you're satisfied."
As a result, when it was agreed that Feng Haidong would treat them to dinner that evening, Fan Mingqiang insisted on paying, so in the end Fan Mingqiang treated Feng Haidong and his group as a welcome dinner for them.
After being hosted by Fan Mingqiang, Feng Haidong and his group spent the night there and took a long-distance bus back the next morning.
The long-distance bus went directly back to the city, but Feng Haidong had told the driver that when they passed through the town, the driver dropped off Feng Haidong and the other two.
Back in town, Feng Haidong and Fang Jianxing led Liang Cong back to his parents' house.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw my son and niece, who had just gotten up that morning, brushing their teeth by the vegetable garden.
Upon seeing Feng Haidong return, Lu Yue immediately dropped her toothbrush and teacup and rushed towards her uncle.
