Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Actually, to tell the truth, it's not that hard. I've hired someone to help out here. You just need to patrol the farm once a day, keep an eye on the chickens, fish, and fruit trees. Oh, and I've also planted two hundred acres of autumn rice; you just need to go check the fields occasionally."

Wang Erhai spoke while pouring wine.

"Sure, sure. Zhihao can definitely handle these things; after all, he's a genuine rural person. When he was a kid, he even went to the fields with us to step on the threshing machine!"

Zhou Zhihao asked weakly:

"Then the salary..."

Wang Erhai said:

"Regarding salary, I'll give you a monthly wage of five thousand, room and board included. How about that?"

Zhou Zhihao wanted to speak up; this seemed a bit low.

After all, going to the city to work now, finding a piece-rate factory, as long as you work a bit harder, you can also get five or six thousand in wages.

The main thing is, his Second Uncle works at Liguo Mountain, and the wages there are that high.

He came to help Wang Erhai watch the farm, yet the wages fell short by such a large margin.

However, Zhou Hongwei hurriedly spoke up at this moment:

"Erhai, the wages you're giving are a bit too high, aren't they? Just watching a farm, why would it need five thousand? Three or four thousand would be enough. Zhihao, you agree, right?"

Zhou Zhihao gave a dry laugh:

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Wang Erhai said:

"I was actually afraid Brother Zhihao would think it's low. Let me state this upfront: in Shangou Village, there are no entertainment projects. Life might be relatively boring."

Zhou Hongwei said:

"That's fine. No entertainment is even better. With a 5000 wage, in a month, he might save four thousand nine. Zhihao just happens to need to save money to marry a wife!"

"If he can endure the loneliness, that couldn't be better!" Wang Erhai laughed, raised his cup, and drank a toast with everyone. Then he said to Zhou Zhihao: "Right, I'll register you under my Agricultural Products Distribution Company, and then buy you the Five Insurances and One Fund. In terms of benefits, I absolutely won't shortchange you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hongwei hurriedly urged his nephew:

"Zhihao, why aren't you thanking Erhai yet!"

Urged by Zhou Hongwei, Zhou Zhihao hurriedly filled his cup and went to toast Wang Erhai:

"Thank you, General Manager Wang! I'll drink it!"

Wang Erhai laughed:

"I'll drink it too!"

The three ate and chatted until nearly ten o'clock at night before this meal was finished.

After eating, they cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks together. After cleaning up, Wang Erhai planned to arrange Zhou Hongwei and Zhou Zhihao to stay overnight on the second floor, while he himself would go back to the farm to keep watch.

Knowing this, Zhou Hongwei said to Wang Erhai:

"Let Zhihao go keep watch tonight. Let him adapt first!"

Wang Erhai hesitated a bit:

"This... doesn't seem too good..."

But Zhou Hongwei said:

"It's fine. Just let him try. If there are any problems, let him report back to you tomorrow. Otherwise, later when you leave, if he encounters problems, he won't know how to solve them."

Wang Erhai thought for a moment:

"That works too!"

Zhou Zhihao felt a bit awkward:

"Second Uncle, why not go keep watch at the farm another day instead..."

But Zhou Hongwei said:

"What are you afraid of? You're a grown man. I'll go with you!"

So that night, Wang Erhai arranged for Zhou Hongwei and Zhou Zhihao to stay in the farm's simple greenhouse shed, while he himself went back to the village's building to stay overnight.

Before leaving, he briefly explained to Zhou Hongwei and Zhou Zhihao: if the surveillance sounds an alarm, or if the three dogs bark, come out and check. If there's no movement, you can just sleep until dawn.

After Wang Erhai left, in the crude shed, on the crude beds, lay the uncle and nephew Zhou Hongwei and Zhou Zhihao.

"Second Uncle, these conditions are too harsh, right? And the salary is only five thousand!"

Zhou Zhihao couldn't help but complain:

"This Wang Erhai is too stingy. He's already a CEO, yet he only offers me this little salary!"

Hearing this, Zhou Hongwei immediately got angry:

"You don't know shit. On the surface, he's giving you a five thousand salary, but adding the Five Insurances and One Fund, the money spent on you each month probably comes to six or seven thousand!"

"I'd rather he just give that money directly to me. Five Insurances and One Fund and all that, I think they're fucking useless."

As soon as Zhou Zhihao said this, Zhou Hongwei looked down on him even more.

This nephew of his truly has shortsighted vision.

He only stares at what's right in front of him, completely lacking long-term planning!

Can the Five Insurances and One Fund be compared to money? That's a long-term guarantee!

Going to the hospital for an illness or whatever can be reimbursed.

Once you've paid enough years, when you're old later, you can even collect a pension!

How many migrant workers long for the five insurances and one fund but cannot get them, yet now Wang Erhai has taken the initiative to give them to Zhou Zhihao, and Zhou Zhihao actually still dislikes it!

"You must not be picky; the work here is very relaxed, it's just that it might be a bit boring, but don't you have a mobile phone? If you're bored, look at your phone, or go to the fish pond side to fish for fish!"

Zhou Hongwei earnestly admonished his own nephew.

Zhou Zhihao then said:

"It would indeed be very boring; tonight it's fine with you by my side, but if you leave in the future, me lying alone in this shed at night, I dare not imagine how quiet it would be, how hard to endure!"

Zhou Hongwei was speechless:

"Even if it's hard to endure, is it harder to endure than you tightening screws in the factory? Besides, tightening screws in the factory, you'll never have a promising day in your lifetime, but if you're here, if you do the work well, believe it or not, Wang Erhai will later hand over his agricultural products distribution company to you to manage?"

Zhou Zhihao expressed suspicion towards this:

"Would he trust me that much?"

Zhou Hongwei then said:

"He naturally cannot trust you that much right now, but trust is something you strive for yourself; show him your sincere heart and sincerity, and he will naturally have a day when he trusts you! He wants to be the CEO of Liguo Mountain, he doesn't have that much time to manage his agricultural products distribution company, listen to me and you'll be right!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhihao then suppressed the dissatisfaction in his inner heart:

"Then alright, then I'll try doing it; if I really can't endure it, then I really will run away."

Zhou Hongwei said irritably:

"Run run run, all you know is run! Don't you have any promise! Not talking to you anymore, hurry up and sleep, tomorrow I still have to go back to the company to attend work!"

And at this time Wang Erhai on the home side, in his heart was thinking, is this Zhou Zhihao reliable?

Zhou Hongwei is certainly reliable, but Zhou Zhihao is not necessarily so.

Thinking back to initially, in order to be together with Li Yuncui, disregarding family opposition, he chose to elope with Li Yuncui.

This person looks honest and simple on the surface, but his underlying nature carries a few parts of selfishness and self-interest.

Now with no one available to use, just use him for now.

Later see how it goes then make plans.

But to have him lightly trust Zhou Zhihao, that is impossible!

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope!

He previously because of trusting Liang Xinghua too much, ended up being harmed terribly by Liang Xinghua!

So he now naturally cannot so lightly go believe others!

Anyway he and Zhou Zhihao are just a work relationship, boss and employee relationship; if Zhou Zhihao does well, giving him a raise isn't out of the question, but if he does badly, then he won't be constrained by Zhou Hongwei's face, and just keep him on!
