Chapter 243: Supporting Dad (Part 2)

Firstly, the harvest at Erlunsi was decent, and secondly, working at the factory was really unsatisfying, so he wanted to consult Ding Xiang’s opinion.

Ding Xiang had no objections.

After all, her excellent son-in-law could easily earn over ten million; what did his salary from the brewery matter?

But.

What Shen Kuo couldn’t let go of was the look in the factory workers’ eyes.

No matter how much money he made, demoting from an office director to a boiler room manager was somewhat embarrassing.

Zhao Qingfeng took the call, “Uncle Shen, I was actually looking for you. Are you at the brewery? Wait for me half an hour, Yaoyao and I will come pick you up.”

Their car had been damaged in a previous accident, and Shen Kuo hadn’t bought a new one, saying that taking a taxi back would suffice.

Zhao Qingfeng refused, “Just wait, I have a surprise that I must give you right at the brewery’s entrance. I’ll be there in half an hour, see you at the entrance, don’t leave.”

Qingfeng’s mother and Ding Xiang were curious about what the surprise was.

Zhao Qingfeng didn’t say, just took Shen Lingyao’s hand and went downstairs, hailing a cab straight to the entrance of the provincial city.

A few days ago, during his free time, he had ordered a brand new Mercedes-Benz S600 from Beijing, which was due to be delivered today.

As they reached the city’s exit, a truck just happened to stop. The brand new, all-black S600 was on it, with the unloading staff ready to unload and then call the buyer to collect it.

“Your car?”

Seeing Zhao Qingfeng approach, the truck driver was a bit unsure.

Fortunately, all the paperwork was in order. Ten minutes later, Zhao Qingfeng and Shen Lingyao got into the luxurious car.

“This is too expensive…”

Shen Lingyao gently touched the luxurious mahogany decoration and looked at the spacious interior. Indeed, a luxury car, a thousand times better than Shen’s old sedan.

“Expensive?”

Zhao Qingfeng shook his head lightly, “If it were for someone else, maybe a bit, but your dad is my father-in-law. If it weren’t for him and Aunt Ding’s battles twenty years ago, how could I possibly have such a cute girlfriend like you? So, it’s not expensive at all.”

“What battles?”

“The ones on the bed, haha!”

“Brother Qingfeng! You… you’re becoming more and more of a rogue, hum, wait until we get to university, I won’t pay attention to you!”

“That won’t do, I’ll stick to you every day! Alright, let’s go to the brewery first, to boost your dad’s morale!”

What do men love the most?

Whether it’s luxury cars, watches, or fine wines and spirits, it’s all for face.

Shen Kuo cared a lot about his image.

Unfortunately, people always assumed his Rolex was fake.

After all, a watch costing tens of thousands, ordinary people, even with savings of three to five hundred thousand, wouldn’t dare to buy.

“Old Shen!”

At 5 p.m., at the factory entrance.

Old Shen was somewhat of a celebrity at the unit, with many people greeting him warmly or mockingly as they left work.

The current office director, coincidentally passing by, was one of them.

This guy, named Mao Xiaogang, a relative of the factory leadership and also siding with Zhang Wang.

“Leaving, Old Mao?”

Old Shen greeted with a frown, hiding his watch under his sleeve.

“No rush.”

Mao Xiaogang drove a newly purchased Santana, shiny and new, wearing a Longines watch.

He parked the car aside, stepped out, offered Old Shen a cigarette, then teased in a tone typical of the county’s middle class, “Last time Zhao Qingfeng acted heroically and wrecked your car, right? It’s tough without a car. What are you planning to buy next? My old Alto just retired, haven’t sold it yet. How about it, make do with it, I’ll sell it to you for 30,000, brother’s price!”
