Chapter 262: Getting Rich Together

Wu An didn't say much.

He also guessed in his heart how Lao Fu Tou would choose.

He thought Lao Fu Tou would most likely choose a fixed wage.

If Lao Fu Tou chose a fixed wage, that would also be good for him, as he could spend less on wages.

After all, he hired people to work, not to do charity.

Lao Fu Tou didn't respond, but instead poured a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp.

Wu An seeing this, said: "Lao Fu, why don't you think it over again and just give me a reply before midnight tonight."

"Still need to be quick."

"Tomorrow I'm going out to sea."

Lao Fu Tou put down the teacup and said: "No need, you've already given me two options to choose from; if I hem and haw, I'd be taking myself too seriously."

"Actually, whichever way I choose, it's much better than being with the Chen Family."

"So, I choose commission."

Lao Fu Tou said while speaking, got up to pour Wu An a cup of tea, smiling, and said: "Boss, from now on let's get rich together following you."

"Captain, thanks, thanks." Wu An raised his teacup, using tea in place of wine, clinked it with him: "We'll definitely get rich."

He was still quite surprised.

I didn't expect Lao Fu Tou to choose commission.

Lao Fu Tou drank the tea, proudly said: "Isn't it surprising that I'd choose this? You've already said it to this extent, so I'm not stupid either."

"The commission you originally thought of is definitely better."

"I only mentioned a fixed wage because I was afraid you'd think it unreliable."

"I'm planning to follow you, so what's there to say? We definitely have to take a gamble."

Wu An gave a thumbs up.

"People get wiser with age."

Although Lao Fu Tou is straightforward, he's not stupid; he's thoughtful.

He thought it was also quite good.

Although with commission he'd have to pay Lao Fu Tou more, the fact is Lao Fu Tou earning more would surely make him happy, and he'd work more conscientiously and diligently on the boat.

In short, everyone wants to be the boss; there's no reason to suffer a loss.

By hiring Lao Fu Tou as an employee, Wu An also came to realize that being a boss is not easy.

That's how bosses are: employees just need to work diligently, while bosses have many more things to consider.

"Come, drink tea, drink tea."

"Boss..."

"Why call me boss? That's too formal; just call me A An."

"A An, I feel your speech is more mature than mine."

"Lao Fu, are you scolding me or praising me?"

Lao Fu Tou laughed heartily.

Wu An also laughed; with Lao Fu Tou's addition, he no longer worried about manpower on the boat, for Lao Fu Tou is experienced, skilled, capable of observing fish conditions, judging weather, sailing out to sea, and handling fishing operations.

Without exaggeration, one Lao Fu Tou equals a thousand troops.

Most importantly, his character is impeccable, so I can use him with confidence.

Lao Fu Tou's joining counts as resolving the urgent problem.

But next, we still need to keep recruiting.

If we could also recruit trustworthy people onto the boat, then he wouldn't have to go out to sea every time.

Currently on the fishing boat, three people can barely manage; if the catch is large it becomes tiring, and over time they might not cope, so four is ideal.

If still overwhelmed, we can increase manpower as needed.

After all, the boat is only that big; four or five people working on it is already the limit.

They drank half a pot of tea.

Wu An coughed, lowered his voice slightly: "Lao Fu, I plan to deal with the Chen Family."

Lao Fu Tou blinked: "How to deal with them?"

"You want to help me take revenge?"

"A An, I appreciate your intention."

"But I'll say something harsh: you can't take on the Chen Family."

Wu An thought, your words are harsh to hear; people usually soften harsh words a bit, but Lao Fu Tou speaks directly.

He smiled: "I definitely can't beat them, but with you it might not be impossible."

Lao Fu Tou shook his head: "I'm even less likely; before coming here, I'd already caused a disturbance at the Chen Family, but nothing came of it—no Chen family members showed up, and others just pulled me out the door."

Onlookers came to mediate, pulling him away; he also couldn't lash out at bystanders. After all, an arm can't twist a thigh. Over the years, the Chen Family has thrown its weight around, offending countless people; now the Chen Family still does as it pleases, and those who offended it can only swallow their anger.

Wu An smiled: "That's because you didn't cause trouble in the right place."

"If you cause trouble at the Chen Family, they definitely have ways to deal with you."

"You need to change the place where you cause trouble."

Lao Fu Tou looked curious: "What place?"

Wu An said: "Go to the Police Station, go to Zhendayuan, and find people who can manage affairs to cause trouble."

Lao Fu Tou shook his head: "Even if I shout to the heavens alone, it won't help."

"My nephew couldn't possibly step forward to testify for me."

Wu An said, "Saying the Chen family sees death and does nothing is just casting a brick to attract jade; that proof doesn't matter, but the Chen family docking your wages is a fact, right?"

"If it blows up, when the leaders ask, would the Chen family still dare to dock wages?"

Lao Fu Tou pondered a moment, then excitedly nodded: "They definitely wouldn't dare; they'd want to make a big thing small, settle the small matter, maybe even give me a bit more to hush me up."

As he spoke, he was about to rise: "I'll go right now."

Wu An raised a hand to stop him: "Don't rush."

"I'll make a call to give someone a heads-up."

Lao Fu Tou sat back down, curiously asking: "A An, why are you helping me so much?"

Wu An didn't hide it, saying: "I'm not on good terms with the Chen family either; I also want to deal with them."

Lao Fu Tou suddenly realized: "Oh, right, earlier the Chen family took a boat to block your fishing boat; I tried to stop them then, but couldn't, so I could only warn you."

Wu An smiled and nodded: "Good thing you warned me, otherwise something would have happened."

"The Chen family is messing with me, you're stopping and warning me—has the Chen family not messed with you?"

Lao Fu Tou shook his head, picked up his tea and drank.

He didn't want to say.

Just being scolded a couple of sentences, he pretended not to hear.

Wu An thought for a moment, then seriously asked: "Lao Fu Tou, want to do it?"

Lao Fu Tou slammed the table hard: "Let's do it."

"Whether it succeeds or not, we can't just let it go."

"I was lucky to be saved by you."

"What about next time?"

"Giving the Chen family a lesson is also good."

Wu An called Yu Kai Lang.

These days, nothing's happening in town; Yu Kai Lang was joking with Master Liu Long: "These days we're so bored we're farting."

Liu Long, lying back in his office chair with his feet on the tea table reading the newspaper, hearing this, couldn't help but glare: "Quick, ptui ptui ptui."

"Why?" Yu Kai Lang asked, and the phone on the desk suddenly rang.

The ringtone was quite pleasant.

But to Liu Long, it felt very ominous.

He felt something was about to happen!

"It's A An calling." Yu Kai Lang picked up the phone, said that, then answered, greeted him, and Wu An directly explained the situation.

Yu Kai Lang nodded while listening: "Mm-hmm, I'll go over."

"Quick."

"I'll bike over; I'll be there in a few minutes."

"Good."

"Let's talk when we meet."

After hanging up, Yu Kai Lang looked at Liu Long: "Master, I'm going out for a bit; A An said he wants to report something for me to hear."

Liu Long asked: "What's up?"

"They say someone saw a death and didn't help…… He didn't go into detail; I'm listening and feeling a bit confused……" Yu Kai Lang said this, picking up his car keys and leaving.

Liu Long couldn't stay lying down, got up, watched Yu Kai Lang ride off on his bike, feeling that these few leisurely moments were about to vanish forever.
