Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 93 I Can’t Take You In

The few of them listened in the yard for a while, and after making sure that there was really no movement outside, they walked out cautiously and quietly.

Xu Xin walked to the big iron gate, crouched down and peeked out through the gap:
"He really left..."

Xu Zhishan nodded:
"Okay, let's go home!"

As they spoke, several people removed the locks on the door and pushed the door open and walked out.

As soon as I went out, I saw a man standing by the wall outside the door, smoking.

It was the second son Xu Zhiquan.

"Second brother...why are you here?" Xu Zhiyan asked.

Xu Zhiquan turned around and looked over, somewhat surprised that there were still people in the factory.

He had just drunk some wine, and his face was still red and smelled of alcohol, but he was still sober and didn't look drunk.

"I came out to drink some wine, and when I heard the commotion over here, I came over to take a look.

I thought there was no one in the factory, but I didn't expect you were still inside."

Xu Zhiyan: "We didn't dare to come out, so we hid inside first."

Xu Zhiquan: "It's okay, I sent those people away, you guys go back quickly!"

Xu Zhiyan's eyes turned red, revealing some grievance and fear:
"Second brother..."

It was actually his second brother who came and drove away the people blocking the door.

The others remained silent, not knowing what to say for a moment, with complicated expressions.

Xu Zhiquan took a puff of his cigarette:
"The third one is not here?"

Xu Zhiyan: "Third brother is not here.

He must have gone out to hide. These two gangs of debt collectors must be looking for him everywhere."

Boss Xu Zhishan sighed:
"Since they have found the factory, that means they have been to the third brother's house a long time ago..."

Xu Zhiyan: "I can't get through to the third brother's phone anymore. Is he okay?"

Xu Zhiquan said:

"Will not.

I watched the third child grow up, and I know his personality quite well.

His greatest strength is that he is thick-skinned and will not get upset no matter how big the problem is.

I guess he ran away on his own and I don’t know which town he is in.”

He took a puff of his cigarette and continued:
"But your third sister-in-law and Xiaoyang may not be appropriate...

Yan Zi, call your third sister-in-law, and if the third brother hasn't taken his wife and children away, take them to your home first."

Xu Zhiyan: "Okay, I'll take care of it. I'll contact my third sister-in-law later."

Xu Zhiquan turned around and looked at the factory gate and wall again, feeling a little complicated.

He had known for a long time that the bidding for the machinery factory was a pit of fire, but he could only watch the third brother jump in.

After all, the third brother at that time couldn't be stopped at all.

If you stop him, not only will you end up in trouble, but you will also be stabbed in the back by the third brother.

But Xu Zhiquan did not feel "gloating" at this moment.

He was not prepared to help. He was not a foolish and kind person. Moreover, when the family was divided, the third brother had torn his face and cheated him of a lot of money and property...

But seeing my brother end up in this situation, I still feel complicated.

Xu Zhiquan smoked a cigarette and said in a low voice:

"Old Third, there's nothing really serious here, it's just that the debt is urgent.

After he sells off the current factory buildings and equipment, and gets some compensation from the machinery factory, he will be able to survive.

He has worked in the factory for all these years, so at least he has some savings and assets.

only……

His assets will be wiped out, and the factory will no longer be able to operate.”

As soon as the words were spoken, Xu Zhishan, Xu Zhiyan and the others all showed a look of desolation in their eyes.

After all, they are all working in the factory with the third brother now.

If the third brother goes bankrupt, they will also lose their income.

Xu Zhiquan looked up at Xu Zhishan and Xu Zhiyan, understood what they were thinking, and said:
"The third brother's factory collapsed, and I know it will be hard for you to find a job for a while.

But my nursery company cannot accept you."

He spoke in a decisive tone, and the expressions of the other people became somewhat complicated.

Xu Zhiquan took another puff of his cigarette, paused and said:

“I will ask a few friends who own factories in nearby towns to see if they have any labor shortages.

But I can’t guarantee that for you.”

Xu Zhiyan was stunned for a moment, then said:

"Thank you, brother..."

Xu Zhishan poked his son Xu Xin who was standing beside him: "Hurry up and thank your uncle!"

Xu Xin: "Thank you, Uncle!"

Xu Zhiquan finished smoking a cigarette and threw the cigarette butt that was about to burn his hand on the ground:

"We are all family, and I can't bear to see you go hungry, so I'll help you wherever I can.

But now I am planting seedlings, and I really can't take you with me.

Today's nursery companies are operated as regular joint-stock companies.

The farmers' helpers hired by the fourth brother all signed formal contracts.

Even Lao Si and Yong Qing signed contracts, and the distribution was based on contribution, with the more work, the more pay.

The company needs to grow bigger, and I can’t make the company full of Xu family members. If I do that, the company won’t have much of a future… Since we’re all family, I’ll explain it to you and make it clear.”

Xu Zhiyan: "Brother, we understand.

When we first worked in the factory with you, we were really ignorant and didn't know how to cherish.

The factory gave us some money, and we thought it was our due..."

Xu Zhishan said:

"Second brother, it was us who were ignorant at the beginning. We withdrew ourselves and now we can't blame others.

We would be very grateful if you could help find a job.”

Xu Zhiquan waved his hand:
"It's getting late, let's go back quickly."

He said no more and turned around and walked back to his factory.

……

The celebration party was still going on, and it was noisy and bustling.

Xu Zhiquan walked back with a cigarette in his mouth and his hands behind his back.

As soon as he entered the yard, he was dragged away by several people to drink.

Xu Zhiquan laughed and sat down surrounded by a group of people...

The fourth son, Xu Zhilin, was forced to drink a lot of wine and was helped by his fourth aunt to the inner room to sleep.

My third uncle took the opportunity to sneak into the house. He was also forced to drink half a glass of white wine, so his mind was still clear, but he could no longer walk steadily.

Xu Chen was sitting with Li Rui, still eating.

Xu Chen naturally didn't drink any wine, but a bunch of people came to toast him.

After all, everyone knows that he is Boss Xu's son, and can be considered the "young master".

Xu Chen drank tea instead of wine, and chatted with a group of farmers, and they were able to chat together.

……

The party lasted until around eight or nine in the evening, when everyone sobered up a little and left one after another.

Xu Zhiquan was sitting alone in the empty yard, holding a teapot.

The hustle and bustle of the day forms a sharp contrast with the quiet and deep silence at this moment.

Xu Chen walked out of the house, brought a plate of grapes and sat next to his father Xu Zhiquan.

"Dad, eat grapes!"

Xu Zhiquan smiled, picked up a grape and put it into his mouth.

"Is Uncle San doing okay?" Xu Chen asked.

Xu Chen saw his father just going to the factory next door.

"It's nothing serious, it's just that the debt came down too quickly."

Xu Zhiquan took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it:
"Everyone has their own destiny...

I am not going to help him, let alone lend him money.

If he had the nerve to come to me, the best I could do was to use my connections to help him delay the payment of his debts.

The third brother could still pay off his debts if he cleared out the family assets.

But the market is not good now, and he is afraid that his hope of making a comeback from scratch is slim.

I’m afraid it will be difficult to get up again in this lifetime.”

Xu Chen listened silently without saying a word.

I felt relieved when I heard my father say he was not going to lend me money to help.

"Dad, eat grapes!"

Xu Zhiquan reached out and rubbed Xu Chen's head, then took two grapes and stuffed them into his mouth.

Xu Chen opened his mouth and said:
"If Third Uncle's factory goes bankrupt, won't my uncle and aunt be out of work?"

Xu Zhiquan: "I don't care about this matter, they wanted to withdraw from it in the first place.

I asked the surrounding factories for help, but that’s all I can do.”

Xu Chen chewed the grapes in big mouthfuls and nodded slightly.

When my third uncle caused the family division, it hurt my father Xu Zhiquan's heart, so it was natural for my father not to lend money to help.

But facing his uncle and aunt's families, Xu Chen was still afraid that his father would recruit them again.

After all, in the previous life, these two families also took advantage of my father’s misfortune after he went bankrupt.

I don’t know what the two families are feeling now, but as the saying goes, “It is difficult to change one’s nature.”

If my father really takes them into the nursery company, they will definitely become potential risks and disasters in the future, and they must be eradicated in advance...

But in this life, his father did not go bankrupt, and his uncle and aunt had not done anything too outrageous. Xu Chen was afraid that his father would be soft-hearted out of consideration for family affection.

Now that he heard that his father didn't want to bother them anymore, Xu Chen felt completely relieved.

Xu Zhiquan laughed:

“I read all the books my son bought for me carefully.

Modern corporate governance, employee management, salary system...

We still need to make the Dongchen Group bigger and stronger, so we can’t have a bunch of unreliable relatives in it!"

Xu Chen smiled and gave his father a thumbs up.

It seems that he really read the books I bought for Lao Xu.

Now Xu Zhiquan is still very rational and decisive when dealing with business and company matters, even when faced with family ties.

Xu Chen smiled in his heart and thought that he could still feel more at ease with his father.

"Dad, what's going on at the machinery factory?"
