Chapter 98 "Uncle Yan, thank you for trusting my dad, but please don't lend him money again. I know your friendship is there, and you all want to help him, but he'll never be reliable. He can't quit gambling. My dad had a glorious past, but he ruined it all himself. His personality is largely to blame. My dad's judgment of people is even more unreliable than his gambling." At this point, Fu Le's face showed bitterness. Now, thinking back, it was these repeated loans, and the failure to repay them as promised, that caused him to lose these comrades who were truly loyal to him.
Putting ourselves in his shoes, we realized that Lao Fu's comrades had truly sacrificed so much for him, yet he never appreciated it.
Thinking back to her past life, after Lao Fu passed away, she and her mother never received any calls from Lao Fu's comrades demanding repayment. They didn't know why, but they were absolutely certain that Lao Fu was incapable of repaying those hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Therefore, for the sake of those who genuinely care for Lao Fu, she absolutely cannot let them feel disheartened again.
“His investment project hasn’t even started yet, but I can already foresee the outcome. Please tell my dad’s other comrades not to lend him any more money. My dad will never be able to pay it back. I shouldn’t be involved in this money, but I’m not willing to let them run away with it. I have to get it back. So, I’m temporarily paying it back for my dad. I’ll go and get the money back.”
She was unaware of Lao Fu's debts in her past life, and she would not have known about them in this life either if she hadn't found Liu Jianhui.
One thing that worried her was that, later on, Old Fu, this good-for-nothing who couldn't be helped by God, managed to get jobs at five construction sites in the capital during her university years, thanks to his silver tongue. She had someone keep an eye on these jobs, and even if she couldn't get the 100,000 yuan back from that scoundrel who embezzled the money, she could still get it back from the construction sites.
Later, this good-for-nothing Fu managed to get jobs at five construction sites in the capital during her university years, thanks to her silver tongue. She had people keep a close eye on these jobs, and even if she couldn't get the hundreds of thousands of yuan back from the scoundrel who embezzled the money, she could still get it back from the construction sites.
Thinking of Lao Fu's projects, which were ruined again by his poor judgment of character, Fu Le was furious. After all, poor judgment of character was the norm. So, the people she sent would become the adversaries of those who "misjudged people," taking over all of Lao Fu's projects. She would reap the rewards, while Lao Fu would starve!
snort! ! !
Even after Fu Le left, Deng Yan was still a little dizzy. His usually sharp mind was like a lump of mush at this moment.
It seems he's really tired. He wasn't supposed to go back to the station today, but he decided not to and will rest.
"Old Fu's girl is quite something!" A laughing female voice suddenly struck my head.
Deng Yan: !!!
He jumped with a start, "Honey!! You scared me to death!!"
"Oh my, our Captain Deng, who's known for his tiger-like courage, is actually afraid?" A woman dressed in elegant clothes walked in with a smile, carrying a small bag.
Deng Yan put his arm around his wife's round shoulder and slammed the door shut.
"What's that girl doing here?"
"Give me back the money, the 100,000 I took from you."
Yu Jie: ? ? ?
Where did she get the money?
"I'm telling you..."
"What? My face cream was developed by Fu Le?!?!" Yu Jie screamed, making Deng Yan's eardrums ache.
"Wait, wife, where are you going?" Seeing his wife fling her small bag aside and about to rush out, Lao Fu quickly grabbed her.
"Looking for Fu Le! I need to get the insider price from her—the best upgraded version, it's so expensive! Oh no, our mall wants to set up a counter for their factory's upgraded 'Beautiful Face' version, I need it!!!"
When a woman struggles, she's quite strong.
Deng Yan was left behind, watching helplessly as his beloved wife walked away from him.
Deng Yan: ...
Not long after, Yu Jie went home dejected.
"What's wrong? Lele didn't agree?" Hearing the door open and close, Deng Yan poked his head out of the kitchen and asked, puzzled.
"No, I couldn't find her. That girl walks really fast."
"Isn't Moon Charm's headquarters in Singapore? If you want to set up a counter, why don't you just go directly to their company?"
"I did try, but Mr. Lu said the upgraded version wouldn't work, only the regular version, because the exclusive rights were given to that beautiful lady who's all the rage in Shashi and Dezhou." Yu Jie was also frustrated when she talked about this; she had tried to contact Lu Shi many times, but to no avail.
"Where would you like to set up your counter?" Deng Yan asked as he wiped his hands and sat down opposite his wife.
"Everyone's thinking, our eleven branches all have regular 'Beautiful Face and Moon' counters, and sales are huge, bringing more than ten times the foot traffic to our mall compared to previous years. Profits have also been rising. Those merchants who wanted to leave before have all voluntarily renewed their contracts. I can't even imagine what would happen if we could get the upgraded counter contract. You've seen the effect of the regular version; my skin is completely clear of blemishes. I really didn't expect that Old Fu's daughter, so young, already has such a large fortune. No wonder she needs 100,000. 100,000 is nothing to Moon Charm's shareholders. I estimate she earns more than that in commissions every month."
Yu Jie sighed deeply. Old Fu was truly a capable man in his youth, working his way up from the county to the province, then out of Hubei Province, and then to the South Island. He was incredibly successful, making hundreds of millions in ten years in the blink of an eye. But his downfall was only a few years away.
She could sense Lao Fu's constant desire to make a comeback, so when Lao Fu wanted to borrow money, she agreed without hesitation. But what she didn't expect was that Lao Fu was like a jinx, surrounded by a bunch of scoundrels. No amount of persuasion from his comrades could work; he just kept believing them as if he had seen a ghost.
Even after being scammed, she refused to report it to the police, saying she wanted to leave herself an out so she could meet again in the future. It infuriated her!! Leave herself an out, my foot!! What kind of escape route would she leave for a few weasel-faced swindlers?!
As they talked more, Lao Fu became annoyed and eventually stopped talking. Little did he know that in recent years, Lao Fu's career had been going poorly, turning his casual gambling into a gambling addiction. He had squandered everything he could sell, causing his wife and children to suffer as well.
A while ago, they heard that Old Fu's family was building a house. None of their comrades went because they were angry because they had tried to help him but he wouldn't listen. Old Fu, that scoundrel, didn't try to appease them when he was angry. He simply cut off all contact with them, which made them so angry that they wanted to go to Fu's village to beat people up. It was her husband who stopped them.
Fortunately, the second generation of Lao Fu is promising. At such a young age, their wealth is already foreseeable. Moreover, this girl's style of doing things is completely opposite to Lao Fu's. She is meticulous in her words and actions, like a shrewd and experienced businessman.
Tsk...
No wonder her husband said that Lao Fu was the chosen one. Sure enough, even with villains around him and no matter how unreliable he was, God still fed him and gave him a promising offspring. It's true that comparisons are odious.
