The next day, Lu Feng went to the renovation site and told Tang Anguo about the drinking incident.
Tang Anguo didn't lose his temper as directly as Feng Haidong.
However, Tang Anguo understood Feng Haidong's meaning.
He spoke to Lu Feng privately, saying, "Xiao Wu, your brother-in-law asked you to come over and work with me on the renovation. On one hand, it's to put your years of electrical training to good use, and on the other hand, he hopes you can help me."
Tang Anguo said very seriously, "I originally brought a lot of people out of the factory, but some of them felt that the provincial capital was too far away, so they didn't want to come. As for me, I can't find suitable people for the time being, so I can only cooperate with Gao Yongcheng and the others for now."
Upon hearing this, Lu Feng couldn't help but ask, "Brother Tang, so you don't want to cooperate with Gao Yongcheng and the others?"
Tang Anguo said, "No, it's just that your brother-in-law and I are not very at ease. After all, you know that Gao Yongcheng and his gang have done some dirty things in the past."
Lu Feng immediately understood: "Brother Tang, are you and my brother-in-law going to investigate them?"
Tang Anguo nodded and said, "Yes, we need to observe for a period of time to see if Gao Yongcheng and his group can really cooperate. So you must be careful when you get along with Gao Yongcheng and his group, and you must hold back a little."
Lu Feng said, "Okay, then Brother Tang, I won't drink with them anymore."
Tang Anguo said, "No, you should still spend time with them as usual. I won't tell Gao Yongcheng and the others directly about drinking yesterday. When you tell them later, just say that you went home drunk and your brother-in-law was unhappy. Be mindful of their reactions."
Lu Feng was somewhat confused when he heard this.
Tang Anguo explained earnestly, "Our renovation work isn't finished yet. If Gao Yongcheng and the others leave, we won't have enough manpower."
Lu Feng understood: "Brother Tang, you mean we have to wait until the current renovation is completed?"
Tang Anguo nodded and said, "Yes, after the renovation is completed, we'll observe them for a while. When we officially start the company, we'll definitely need to clarify some of the shareholding details beforehand."
Lu Feng said, "Actually, Brother Tang, I think you and my brother-in-law could easily find some people to do it ourselves. Why do we have to cooperate with Gao Yongcheng and the others?"
Tang Anguo said, "Gao Yongcheng's people are quite skilled. Even though you weren't back, his team was able to fix the circuit. So, it's better to have a helper than a competitor. However, we're not familiar with Gao Yongcheng yet, so we need to observe him further."
Lu Feng nodded to indicate that he understood.
Later, when Lu Feng went back to work, he pretended to casually mention that he had been scolded by his brother-in-law after finishing his work.
The men who worked with Gao Yongcheng laughed at Lu Feng, saying he was like a child.
"Lu Feng, really, you're still being controlled by your brother-in-law even after you've been released?"
"Yeah, it's just a drink, right? We've all finished work together, it's so late, what's wrong with having a few drinks to unwind?"
“Lu Feng, how old are you? Do you still need your brother-in-law to take care of you? If you ask me, you might as well come and live with us.”
"Yes, yes, come and live with us. We'll all have a couple of drinks together after work tonight."
"Yes, it's great that we all work, eat, and live together. We don't have to be controlled by your brother-in-law."
However, one person in this group disagreed with everyone else's opinion.
This person is Zhang Jianqiang, the older brother of Zhang Jiansheng, the guy who broke into Feng Haidong's store in the provincial capital.
Zhang Jianqiang stopped others from encouraging Lu Feng.
He said earnestly to Lu Feng, "Lu Feng, I think your sister-in-law is a really good person. She's a very righteous person. For example, she helped us find this renovation job. She even said she would help Brother Tang and Brother Gao start a renovation company together. She's a truly capable person."
So he's keeping an eye on you because he cares. It was so late last night, you really shouldn't have drunk so much. Let's just have a couple of drinks together as a token gesture. From now on, listen to your brother-in-law and drink less."
Lu Feng was somewhat surprised. He looked at Zhang Jianqiang and felt that this man seemed to admire his brother-in-law quite a bit.
"Brother Qiang, do you admire my brother-in-law a little?"
Zhang Jianqiang said, "Yes, I really admire your brother-in-law. He's a really capable person."
Lu Feng said, "Brother Qiang, my brother-in-law is indeed capable, but he sometimes likes to meddle in other people's business."
Zhang Jianqiang said seriously, "Lu Feng, you can't think that your brother-in-law is meddling just because he's controlling you and not letting you drink. He's controlling your drinking because he's worried that something might happen to you."
Lu Feng continued, "But I'm an adult now. Anyway, I felt very uncomfortable when my brother-in-law scolded me like that last night."
Zhang Jianqiang wanted to say something more.
Gao Yongcheng walked over and said, "Your brother-in-law is right. You have to bear with it even if you're not feeling well. Also, it's my fault for drinking with you last night. I shouldn't have let you drink so much."
Lu Feng turned his head and saw Gao Yongcheng, and was somewhat surprised by what Gao Yongcheng said.
“Brother Gao, my brother-in-law said he’s going to cause you trouble, saying that you’ve corrupted me.”
Gao Yongcheng looked helpless: "I've really offended your brother-in-law this time. I'll go over and apologize to him after work tonight."
At this moment, Zhang Jiansheng couldn't help but say, "Brother Yongcheng, why are you apologizing to him?"
Zhang Jianqiang looked at his younger brother and said, "Shut up. You have no right to speak on Yongcheng's decisions."
Zhang Jiansheng was clearly still very afraid of his older brother.
So as soon as his brother opened his mouth, Zhang Jiansheng immediately shut up.
Gao Yongcheng said, "Shengzi, you don't understand. Don't let your emotions get the better of you. Let me tell you, what happened before was your fault. If it weren't for Brother Haidong not holding it against you, you would still be stuck here."
Zhang Jiansheng remained silent, but his eyes clearly showed some resentment.
Zhang Jianqiang knew his younger brother well and immediately said, "Don't be resentful. Stop doing those lousy things in the future, or you can go home and stop embarrassing me. Have you forgotten what Mom told you when you left?"
Upon mentioning his mother, Zhang Jiansheng immediately cowered.
All he could say was, "Brother, I know. Don't worry, I definitely won't do it again."
Gao Yongcheng added, "We can't leave a bad impression on Brother Haidong, otherwise how will we cooperate with Brother Tang in the future? So we must apologize."
After listening to Gao Yongcheng and his group, Lu Feng immediately felt that Gao Yongcheng and his group were worth cooperating with.
At least in Lu Feng's view, Gao Yongcheng and Zhang Jianqiang were trustworthy.
During lunch, Lu Feng relayed this information to Tang Anguo.
After listening, Tang Anguo said calmly, "It seems that Gao Yongcheng and Zhang Jianqiang are indeed good. Don't jump to conclusions yet, let's observe them for a while longer."
Lu Feng nodded in agreement, feeling to himself that he was indeed too inexperienced and too easily swayed by emotions.
