Chapter 509: Business Is Business, and Relationships Are Relationships

Li Yi smiled and said to the old man in front of him:

"Hello, what's your name?"

The old man straightened his clothes and said in a deep voice:

"My name is Xue Wuqiang, they all call me Fu Jia Weng... Of course, they say my nickname is festive, so they have called me that for decades, Boss Li, you can also call me that!"

Li Yi smiled and stretched out his hand, saying: "Hello, Mr. Xue, I heard about you from Mr. Wen, it's better to meet you in person than to hear about you!"

Xue Wuqiang, or Fu Jia Weng, was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that it was really similar to what his senior brother said. Although the boss in front of him was young, he didn't have any airs at all!

The rich man smiled and nodded, then said:

"Boss Li is so young, you are so polite!"

After shaking hands with Li Yi, the rich man turned around and took Li Yi to the house. Li Yi subconsciously looked around. It was a standard Jiangnan garden building, but the rooms were all decorated with very simple decorations. The rest were all grains such as soybeans, and some simple equipment that Li Yi could not understand, which should be used to make dried bean sauce.

When they came to the yard, Su Fu was still kneeling on the ground. The rich man looked at Su Fu with a gloomy face and said in a deep voice:

"From now on, you, Su Fu, have nothing to do with me! Why don't you leave?

What are you kneeling here for?"

Li Yi smiled and stepped forward to hold the rich man's arm, and said in a deep voice:

"No need, Mr. Xue, listen to my advice. You see, I, the person involved, don't take it to heart, right?

Why are you so anxious?"

"I have almost understood the root cause of this matter. Let's sit down and talk it over!"

Hearing Li Yi's persuasion, the rich man sat on the chair, then sighed and said to Li Yi:

"Boss Li, it is indeed our fault in this matter. I, Xue Wuqiang, can't afford to lose face! I didn't expect that after teaching my apprentice for so many years, I didn't teach him the simplest way of being a human being!"

Li Yi sighed slowly. In fact, this matter really couldn't be blamed on this kind old man nicknamed the rich man.

There are probably many people like Su Fu who have a helpless life and origin. They don't have a good background. When they were born, their parents didn't even know their names. They were abandoned or taken away. Later, for some reason, they were thrown into a crowded alley to die. They were raised by kind people and then went wandering. Since they could remember, no one had taught them any truth.

Even at the end, they learned to read and write in their spare time. Such people think about problems differently from ordinary people. The reason is very simple. Ordinary people at least know what to do and what not to do, and know the importance of benefits and disadvantages. However, when such children grow up, they only have their own interests in their eyes, because the environment they live in has taught them a truth: only when they live, that is the greatest truth!

In short, Su Fu should have such a mentality. As for why Li Yi can understand Su Fu, it is not entirely because he is about to cooperate with the old Jianggan workshop, but mostly because Su Fu is too similar to Li Yi before.

Li Yi used all his money to buy a second-hand motorcycle. Later, he rode it to many cities and saw many human feelings. Li Yi no longer needs to recall the details, which are deeply engraved in his bones.

When he saw Su Fu kneeling here, Li Yi saw his own shadow in Su Fu again.

Su Fu is not without money now. On the contrary, he has saved a lot of money over the years, at least several thousand, but Su Fu is still working hard in this small dried bean curd workshop, which shows that Su Fu has regarded this job as his most passionate part.

It is right to have compassion in advance when encountering injustice. The key lies in whether this compassion is reasonable or not.

After thinking about it, Li Yi smiled and said to the rich man:

"Mr. Xue, when I talked about business with Mr. Wen before, I had already learned about Su Fu, so I have an opinion. You might as well listen to it first!"

The rich man nodded slowly and motioned Li Yi to talk about it.

Li Yi said in a deep voice:

"The current problem has nothing to do with Su Fu. Whether as your disciple or as Su Fu himself, what he did was with good intentions. He wanted to preserve the sales market of dried bean curd, but the methods and means used were a bit extreme. This is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is what we should do now!"

"Now I have just ordered a batch of vacuum packaging machines. It will take two or three days for the machines to be delivered. At that time, it will take a lot of time and energy to study how to make the dried bean curd perfectly vacuum-preserved. This is not something that can be done overnight! It is time to need manpower!"

The old smoker naturally understood what Li Yi meant, so he immediately said:

"What does Boss Li mean, is..."

Li Yi smiled and nodded, saying:

"Let's not talk about Su Fu's character and what he has done. At least his understanding of dried bean curd is estimated to be only second to the three old men! Such talents, you are willing to give up, but I am not!"

"And once we start cooperating, we will definitely need you to tell us some knowledge about dried bean curd, and maybe even teach us everything you know. You three are so old, and it's not convenient for you to run back and forth. I heard from Mr. Wen that I can't stay for long in the near future and I have to go back to Jiangping. Why don't we let Su Fu represent the workshop and cooperate with us!"

Fu Jiaweng also understood what Li Yi meant when he heard this, and said helplessly:

"But Su Fu..."

Li Yi smiled and waved his hand, interrupting Fu Jiaweng's words, and said in a deep voice:

"Now it concerns the inheritance of the entire dried bean curd, and I hope you can consider it properly. How about this, temporarily Make Su Fu a registered disciple, and see how he performs later! How is it? "

The old smoker winked at the yellow jacket at this moment. The relationship between the two brothers has lasted for many years, and the yellow jacket immediately understood. The two stood up and said:

"Yes, what Boss Li said makes sense. I think this matter should be settled!"

"Yes, Lao San, look at your temper, how many years have it been like this?

Give Boss Li a face today!"

The rich man sighed, then looked at Su Fu and said in a deep voice:

"Okay, get up! Be down-to-earth in the future!"

Su Fu immediately responded, and looked at Li Yi with a bit of gratitude.
