Chapter 11

Satisfied?

Sorry, I really can’t say it out loud with my current mood.

Before this, as the guarantor, I was very discouraged and even tried to commit suicide several times.

Although the rewards were plentiful, the process was really not worth recalling.

I solemnly told Du Hongting, “I won’t lend you money anymore.”

The fat guy was stunned after hearing this.

I’m sorry, young man. It may sound a bit humiliating, but my old heart can’t take it.

Unexpectedly, he laughed happily and said, “Why so polite? You deserve it.”

Yes, I’m a practical person with two faces.

When I was poor, I was often harsh and ugly.

When I became prosperous, I became gentle, kind, and easy to talk to.

Perhaps Du Hongting will never have a chance to see my other face, because he is just too good at making money.

My dad and mom gave the best room in the house to Du Hongting to live in.

They treated him like their own son.

And me, a still-in-school freeloader.

Only deserving of the attic.

Dad, mom.

I want to ask, can you guys look farther ahead?

Du Hongting’s small profit this time was purely speculative.

Didn’t you hear him say?

He made money by gambling in stocks to fill the company’s funding gap.

Completely a gambler’s mentality!

He made a profit this time, including the interest, which he made up for you.

Who knows if he’ll lose everything and jump off a building next time.

Sure enough, a few days later, Du Hongting, this tricky guy, pulled another trick.

He suddenly said that he didn’t plan to continue running his dad’s company.

What?

Are you not even afraid that your dad will be so angry that he can’t even be buried properly…

The fat guy was really precious: “My dad doesn’t actually want me to take over the company, after all, making money in this traditional industry is too hard.”

I don’t really understand business, but, “Isn’t it a bit of a shame to give up, considering it’s your dad’s hard work?”

My dad told me not to interrupt, “What do you know?”

But Du Hongting didn’t hesitate for a moment and changed his mind, “I’ll listen to her.”

My dad was shocked: I’ve caught a wife’s slave…

Du Hongting thought for a moment and decided to cancel some of the difficult and high-risk projects, leaving only three brand specialty stores in the end.

My mom praised how good the market and business were in those stores.

The chubby guy asked her, “Do you like it?”

My mom said she liked it.

The chubby guy said, “Then I’ll give it to you.”

Me: !!!

My mom’s brain worked really fast: “Then I’ll work for you in the future, Mr. Du.”

And that’s how she became the general manager of the three brand specialty stores.

My mom was overjoyed.

But I was really worried.

I feel like I’m going to be kicked out of the house.

Contrary to my growing hatred towards the fat guy during this period, his fondness for me has been increasing day by day.

When we moved into our new home, we set off firecrackers. After they finished, I sniffed around and said I liked the smell. Aside from that, I also like the smell of extinguished matches, the scent of mosquito coils on summer nights, the smell of flower lotion after a shower, and the fragrance of fresh grass after a thunderstorm.

Du Hongting said that I like many different smells, but he only likes one, which is my scent.

He finished speaking and smiled at me.

It was dazzling.

I started to face this problem.

I mustered up the courage to tell the fat guy, “A lot has happened during this time, which may have caused you to misunderstand, but nothing has changed between us, just like in the beginning.”

Fat guy: “Okay.”

I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. “That’s good, that’s good.”

Fat guy: “I’ve always thought of you as my wife from the beginning.”

Me: ! ! !
