When Fang Chaoyang opened the appliance store, he didn’t come to Capital City; Zhao Tianlei arranged for him to work in the factory and manage it.
Zhao Tianlei paid him a high salary and even a bonus.
And Zhao Tianlei had a good eye. At first, when Fang Chaoyang began managing in the factory, many looked down on him, thinking he had entered through the back door using the factory director Zhao Tianlei’s influence.
However, in less than two short months, Fang Chaoyang had satisfied the management and earned their recognition of his abilities.
"Did you tell Xiao He yet? Tomorrow is Elder Wu’s birthday, and our family is going to celebrate it with him, so I won’t be able to help at the store temporarily," he said.
Sitting at a desk, truly unaccustomed.
"I did, don’t worry. What gift are you preparing for Elder Wu?"
What gift am I preparing?
You want to know, but I just won’t tell you.
What does an old gentleman who has lived many years like?
Tea leaves and other things.
Zhao Tianlei was somewhat curious, but since his wife didn’t say, he didn’t continue to ask.
The next day, he saw his wife carrying two gift boxes.
"Wife, let me take them, let me take them."
Yun Xiaoxiao didn’t say anything. After handing over the things to Zhao Tianlei, the family then headed to Elder Wu’s house.
Although Elder Wu was getting on in years, he was still a well-known painter and calligrapher. Today, on his birthday, his residence saw quite a few visitors.
Some were from various organizations.
Some were Elder Wu’s relatives.
They say wealth in the mountains brings distant relatives, but poverty in the city finds you friendless.
"Miss Yun and Zhao Boy have arrived."
Elder Wu, seeing the couple arrive, greeted them with a smile.
Da Bao and Xiao Bao also smiled and greeted others.
"We wish Grandpa Wu a fortune as vast as the Eastern seas and a longevity surpassing the southern pines."
Upon hearing these words, Elder Wu’s smile grew even broader.
Seeing his brother extend birthday wishes, Xiao Bao quickly followed suit, "Wishing Grandpa Wu good health and a long life of a hundred years."
But this scene attracted the attention of many people.
"Who is that family?"
"Who knows? They’re really trying to curry favor, even making Grandpa so happy," a girl in her early twenties said, watching the scene unfold with evident jealousy on her face.
This family is here to please Uncle Grandpa.
To get something out of Uncle Grandpa’s hands.
Now Uncle Grandpa is alone, but he has many valuable things in his possession.
"Keep your voice down. Today is your Uncle Grandpa’s birthday; otherwise, see how your dad deals with you," a middle-aged woman pulled the girl gently and warned her in a low voice.
The girl, who was Wu Xiaoyue, looked displeased, but she didn’t dare to directly confront the family.
Uncle Grandpa obviously favored them too much.
Even though they were the actual relatives, why was Uncle Grandpa so nice to outsiders?
It was said that those two kids were learning to write under Uncle Grandpa’s tutelage.
She had mentioned before that she wanted to learn calligraphy from Uncle Grandpa and had been rejected.
So why could those two kids, so much younger than her, do so?
Yun Xiaoxiao didn’t recognize any of Elder Wu’s relatives or friends, as they normally didn’t have much interaction.
But seeing a girl glaring at her made her somewhat helpless.
Why was this person glaring at her?
Did they know each other?
She was certain they did not know each other.
But she didn’t realize that in the eyes and heart of Wu Xiaoyue, she was there to snatch away advantages.
The benefits were limited, and if others took them, then there wouldn’t be much left for Wu Xiaoyue herself.
"You child, stop looking," Wu Xiaoyue’s mother lightly tapped her daughter, who had always been unyielding and had quite the temper.
