Chapter 988: Reach out to Help
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Mother Yang looked at Yang Ming and at Fifth Uncle. She said, “Regarding this matter, I can’t make the decision. Although Dahai is the chairman of the board, it is not a decision that could be made by one person…”
“I know this; I know.” Fifth Uncle said, “I also know that those big companies are not like my small farm which allows cronyism. I also know that this is a difficult matter, but would I ask you if it wasn’t difficult? Sister Su Mei, you must think of some ways.”
Yang Ming did not expect that this Fifth Uncle would make such a weird request. Not to borrow money, nor to do things, but to ask for a seemingly easy but somewhat difficult request.
“Fifth Uncle, I will say a few words about this matter.” Yang Ming saw his mother’s awkwardness and couldn’t help but speak.
” Oh , okay, okay. You are Big Ming; you are a college student. You are more cultured and have more insight than we do. You must be reasonable!” Fifth Uncle nodded quickly.
Yang Ming saw the simple and honest look of his Fifth Uncle. The sense of disgust in his heart from before had disappeared. If it were not for the fact that this request was a little troublesome, Yang Ming would have already promised him.
“Fifth Uncle, say you let Fifth Cousin go to work at your farm now. What kind of situation would it be?” Yang Ming did not say it directly but first asked Fifth Uncle a question.
“This…” Fifth Uncle hesitated and said, “If I let the boy go, then the boy would put in some sporadic efforts. Just because I am his father, he will be misbehaving. No one would dare to discipline him if he skips work. It will be like giving me chaos. It’s better not to ask him to go…”
” Hehe , so that’s it.” Yang Ming smiled and continued to ask, “Then, Fifth Uncle, would you say that are we relatives?”
“Of course, yes. Why are we not? If you are not a relative, I wouldn’t come and make a request!” Fifth Uncle nodded and said, “Sister Su Mei and my wife were best friends since they were young!”
“So that’s it!” Yang Ming shook his head and said, “Fifth Uncle, you think about it. If Fifth Cousin goes to your farm, he must be sloppy. Then, if he comes to work at my dad’s company, wouldn’t he be just as sloppy? He would think, this is also a company opened by a relative, so no one would bring up his faults if he messes around…”
“Yeah!” Fifth Uncle slapped his thigh and frowned. He said somewhat helplessly, “How come I didn’t think of it? What Big Ming said is right. No matter what, the bastard must be the same. In Brother Dahai’s company, he would take advantage of being the chairman’s relative.”
Although Mother Yang understood that what Yang Ming said made sense, he was mostly helping her to reject this Fifth Uncle. She also understood that relatives and father were two different concepts. Even if Fifth Cousin was flamboyant, he could clearly distinguish this difference.
Because you are the son of the farm director, you may be respected. They would please you and dared not to mistreat you, nor control you. However, if you worked here, you are just a distant relative of the chairman. If you are really not capable, no one would take care of your face.
This was the gap between big companies and small family businesses. However, Fifth Uncle couldn’t understand the reason but was still opinionated. “You must be a college student! Look at him. What a thorough analysis!”
“Fifth Uncle, it is not that I don’t want to help, because Big Ming also gave you an analysis. You see, if you put a lot of effort into getting your son into the company, and he is still like that, isn’t it a waste of effort?”
“That’s also right!” Fifth Uncle shook his head, ” Ai , what can I do about this?”
Seeing Fifth Uncle like this, Mother Yang couldn’t bear it anymore, so she said, “What if, Fifth Uncle, I call Old Yang and ask if he has a company he is familiar with? Let’s see if he can arrange for a person to go in. Isn’t that okay?”
“Yeah, if it can be like this, then it is indeed good!” After Fifth Uncle listened, he replied happily.
However, Yang Ming smiled bitterly. Mother is still too softhearted. Doesn’t this mean she is agreeing to it? Ai, forget it. Yang Ming sighed. This matter had already been agreed by his mother. He couldn’t not help, so he said, “Mom, I have a friend. I will give him a call and let Fifth Cousin work with him.”
After Yang Ming finished, he gave his mother an eye signal. Mother Yang didn’t know what Yang Ming meant, but she also cooperated and said, “That’s fine. You can call and ask.”
Yang Ming did this because if his father were to ask someone else, wasn’t it a favor owed? Then, if they were to trouble him with a similar matter, he couldn’t not help. So, Yang Ming might as well say this and place him in the company of Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan.
Anyway, they’re all the companies that were founded by his men. Even if there were complaints, they couldn’t be helped. Yang Ming didn’t want to trouble his father.
After Yang Ming finished, he called Hou Zhenhan and asked him to help arrange for a relative to join the company. Yang Ming also said very clearly that he was sent there to learn and train. The position could be casually arranged. He would not be staying for long anyway.
Regarding Yang Ming’s instruction, Hou Zhenhan surely promised without hesitation. After Yang Ming finished the phone call, he smiled bitterly. This seemed to be the second time he called Hou Zhenhan to arrange for people to enter the company. The first time was Jing Xiaolu. Who knew how she was she doing now? Hopefully, she experienced a change in her life. Being a mistress was not a very profitable career.
Although Yang Ming had many women around him, Yang Ming would not admit that any of them was a mistress. Each of them was Yang Ming’s love, although he was a little philanthropic…
“So be it.” Yang Ming hung up and said to Fifth Uncle, “Fifth Uncle, you can ask Fifth Cousin come to find me directly. I have arranged the other things already.”
” Aiya , the college student is really great. All his friends are at the level of being the boss of a company!” Fifth Uncle admired and praised. “It’ll be great if my family’s boy can have this position! Then Sister Su Mei, I will go first. Thank you very much for this!”
“Fifth Uncle, stay here for lunch. Come to my house to have a light meal and then go.” Mother Yang politely tried to hold him back.
“No need. There is no one in the shop,” Fifth Uncle said, “I will go back now.”
“Big Ming, you send your Fifth Uncle out.” Mother Yang instructed.
Yang Ming nodded and showed Fifth Uncle out to the door of the property. Fifth Uncle had an Audi A6. What Yang Ming didn’t expect was that Fifth Uncle was really rich!
However, it was troublesome enough to have a son who wasn’t thoughtful… As he thought of Fifth Uncle’s bitter experience. Yang Ming couldn’t help but think of himself one year ago. At that time, wasn’t he and Fifth Cousin almost the same?
Fifth Cousin was the village tyrant, and Yang Ming was the school tyrant. He fought, skipped school, and played billiards all day. He was not necessarily stronger than Fifth Cousin. As he thought of this, Yang Ming’s sympathy for Fifth Uncle had also increased.
I could pull myself together again, although it is related to getting the special abilities, it is also inseparable from the help of Zhao Ying and Chen Mengyan, the two most important women in my life. Just like my true love, Su Ya, these two people have a huge significance for me.
Zhao Ying …Thinking of Zhao Ying, Yang Ming sighed slightly in secret. By the will of Heaven, the two of them, man and woman, who were both easy to each other had not yet come together.
“Big Ming, I am leaving. You can go back. Go back to Dayu Village when you are free, and Fifth Uncle will entertain you!” After Fifth Uncle got in the car, he opened the window and spoke to Yang Ming.
” En , Fifth Uncle, be careful on the road.” Yang Ming nodded to Fifth Uncle and then returned to the property company.
In his mother’s office, Mother Yang saw Yang Ming and couldn’t help but sigh. “Big Ming, do you blame Mother for simply making decisions? I just saw that your Fifth Uncle was very pitiful, so I agreed to it. Did I give your friend any trouble?”
“It’s nothing.” Yang Ming smiled and thought in his heart, Those are my men. How am I troubled?
“You are sensible now. Your Fifth Cousin is said to be not serious; he only knows how to eat, drink, and play all day. That is why your Fifth Uncle is in a hurry.” Mother Yang said, “The twenty-year-old boy is still not sensible.”
“Mom, I can handle this.” Yang Ming waved his hand. Even if this should not be agreed to, since Mother had already promised, Yang Ming could only think of ways to deal with it well. He couldn’t blame his mother for what she did, right?
” En , I also know what you mean. You don’t want your dad to owe someone a favor,” Mother Yang said. “Hehe, by contrast, my Big Ming is really a sensible man!”
“Mom, actually, I was very ignorant at this time last year…” Yang Ming smiled embarrassingly and said, “At that time, I didn’t study seriously, I skipped classes all day, and I’d caused a lot of trouble for you and Dad.”
” En , it’s all in the past.” Mother Yang also laughed after listening. “At that time, Little Teacher Zhao persuaded and enlightened you a lot, right? She also helped you with tutoring, so when you treat her for a meal, Mom did not object at all. Yes, you have to thank Mengyan. If it wasn’t for her that gave you motivation, can you go and successfully enroll in college with her? At that time, your dad and I thought that if you can go to college, it is very good!”
“Mom, you looked down on me!” Yang Ming laughed.
“I did not. I am just telling the truth.” Mother Yang said, “So, don’t blame your Fifth Uncle. He is also anxious! Your Fifth Cousin is useless…”
“Mom, I don’t blame anyone for this. I have a good impression of Fifth Uncle. At least, he is better than those powerful relatives. Moreover, his request is not too much.” Yang Ming smiled and said, “I am just afraid that once some relatives know that my dad is the chairman of the board, and they want to be a CEO, they won’t be happy if you don’t arrange it for them.”
“Do not worry, Big Ming. Your mother has it under control. I know what I can help with and what I can’t help with.” Mother Yang shook her head and looked at Yang Ming lovingly.
Yang Ming suddenly felt that his mother unknowingly improved a lot with helping others deal with matters. She was no longer the former housewife who had no competition with the world.
