Chapter 405: Let Wang Changguang Help

"Sister-in-law, our good days are coming soon. Just relax." I said.

Wang Changguang waved his hand,

"Your good days have nothing to do with me; I don't want any involvement with you. I just want to live a peaceful life."

"You want to live a peaceful life, fine, I support you. I ask you, why did you go back to the museum as a docent again? Weren't you supposed to work on the village history?" I asked.

At this moment, Wang Changguang took a big gulp of wine,

then he burst out cursing,

"Damn it, the museum just got a new director surnamed Lu; as soon as he took office, he directly cut off my funding. He won't let me do those things anymore, saying the budget is tight—nothing like village history can get off the ground.

He stopped my funding and also stopped my salary and benefits.

Thinking about this, I'm about to go crazy. Back then, how much money did your Da Heng Group give the museum?

I only took this little salary, and they still schemed against me.

The treasures in this museum are the ones I, Wang Changguang, donated to them.

If it weren't for my, Wang Changguang's, unpaid donation, what would their museum have?

Nothing at all.

Now I have no salary, no funding,

When I grow old, I'll have nothing.

I now just want to be a volunteer docent at the museum, but they also find me a nuisance.

They often have the security guards chase me away.

I really want to smash that museum.

What nonsense is this, they don't do any proper work.

Look, the museum has deteriorated into this state, and no one is repairing it.

As for the funds, they've all been embezzled by them.

I wanted to sue them, humph, but instead they turned around and sued me first, demanding I return my previous salary earnings.

I really can't understand it.

I am someone who has contributed; how could they treat me like this?

Officially I'm a docent at the museum, but in reality I'm just deliberately bothering them there.

On what grounds do they stop my salary and benefits?

What does your Da Heng Group's trouble have to do with me?

Wang Changguang said this indignantly.

Hearing Wang Changguang say that, all I wanted to do in my heart was laugh,

Of course the museum should stop his salary, because his salary is deducted from our donated funds.

Back then he went to Da Heng Group to cause trouble for me. I explained it to him, but he didn't believe me and even had Xixi bring the contract for him to see.

Now he's come again to cause a ruckus at the museum and demand his salary—he's really gone crazy.

This Wang Changguang is just a stubborn person.

I guess the museum staff are too lazy to bother with him; seeing us take Wang Changguang away, they all happily rejoiced.

"Sister-in-law, don't even think about getting that salary—our Da Heng Group has changed hands, what salary do you still want?"

"Exactly, sister-in-law, I remember when you went to Da Heng Group, my brother explained it to you." Shi Yong also said.

"No way, I'm a proper staff member. Look at my work ID—it has a number." Wang Changguang pulled out a dirty work ID from his pocket and showed it to us.

This work ID is also fake; I deliberately had the museum people issue a fake one to placate Wang Changguang.

Wang Changguang dreams of having a formal job and working within the system.

Initially he even handed over that batch of treasures in exchange for a job; later, I helped him achieve that.

This let him finally settle in the museum and obtain a fake work ID.

After getting the work ID, Wang Changguang often took it out to show off in North Mountain Village.

He insisted on writing the fact that he had a proper job into the clan genealogy.

At the time, this became a joke in Beishan.

"Sister-in-law, they're bullying people too much. Actually, there's nothing between me and you. On what grounds do they target you?"

This doesn't make sense.

Sigh, the museum's practices really make me angry." I said deliberately.

"Who says it isn't? Thinking about this, I feel cold-hearted. Damn, those treasures—if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have given them to them; I'd have sold them myself, damn it."

You know, how much money could they sell for?

These things will eventually deteriorate in their hands—it's truly heartbreaking." Wang Changguang took another sip of wine.

We accompanied Wang Changguang as he drank.

"Sister-in-law, Shi Yong and I came from out of town this time to handle an important matter—I'm not hiding it from you. We came for those few treasures in the museum.

I want to exchange these treasures for money." I said directly to Wang Changguang.

At this moment, Shi Yong finally understood our purpose in coming to the museum.

Shi Yong also hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, my brother is telling the truth—a big boss has put up a lot of money and is willing to pay a high price to buy these treasures from the museum. Since these treasures were discovered by you, my brother says we must consult you before selling them."

Hearing Shi Yong say that, Wang Changguang's face broke into a smile,

"Zhao Jianqiang, you still have some regard for this brother-in-law of yours—back then, if I hadn't discovered this batch of treasures, where would you be today?"

That's right—this batch of treasures was discovered by me, Wang Changguang, and I have the authority to handle them.

Humph, they take good things and don't treat them as treasures.

Then I'll be polite—I'll use these treasures to offset my salary." Wang Changguang said angrily.

I thought Wang Changguang would stop these ideas of mine,

He would stop us from taking these things. I never expected Wang Changguang to support us.

It seems time is changing, people are changing, and Wang Changguang has become so concerned with profit.

I then said to Wang Changguang: "Brother-in-law, as long as you agree, that's fine."

Let's discuss how to get the treasure. If we succeed, your fee will be one million.

Wang Changguang, upon hearing this, his eyes lit up,

"One million, really? Where is it? Let me see the money first before I speak. Otherwise, I won't sell my treasure."

"After we finish drinking, I'll take you to see. Has Xixi become a teacher?" I said.

"Being a teacher is meaningless. Teaching every day, memorizing lessons, it's exhausting and you don't earn much." Wang Changguang said.

Does Xixi want to be a teacher, or is it because of Wang Changguang's influence? He has always encouraged Xixi to be a teacher, not to think about making money, to educate and nurture, to be respected.

How could he say that? Wang Changguang's change is really too great.

What stimulus did he receive?

I then said: "Xixi being a teacher is not your intention. Originally, Xixi and I said that you wanted Xixi to educate the children of Beishan, so they wouldn't value money but value social righteousness. Only a few months have passed, brother-in-law, how could you change so quickly?"

Upon hearing me say this, Wang Changguang took another sip of wine,

"Who we educate, people in this society are more realistic than anyone; whoever has money and power is the boss. To have a say in society, you must have money."

I have had them educated many times, and I have fully understood.

My those ideals are all bullshit, all the ideas of bastards.

Haha, I am already a father, I want Xixi to make money, to become an official.

That way, I won't be bullied.

Wang Xinsheng, no, Zhao Jianqiang, you can make money, I will follow you to make money from now on.

Wang Changguang has drunk quite a lot.

Although Wang Changguang's words are drunken talk, I can tell without asking that after our group ran into trouble, he received a harsh education in society.

It changed him completely.

If Wang Changguang did not change his thinking, did not curse his past ideals, I would still admire him,

The hardest thing in life is perseverance; persisting in your perseverance will make everyone respect you.

But many people, as soon as they encounter a slight setback, immediately change their thinking, even denying their own past.

Wang Changguang is such a person.
