269、Mid-Autumn Festival(1/2)
The atmosphere of the Fu family’s Mid-Autumn Festival dinner this year is a bit strange. It is obviously two more young ladies than last year. Not long ago, the fourth young ladies had just given birth to a young lady, which should be a happy event, but the atmosphere seemed to be even more awkward and solemn than last year.
Mrs. Fu was still not released. Governor Fu seemed to have made up his mind to pretend that this person no longer exists.
Although it is said to the public that Mrs. Fu is in bed for a long time because she is unwell, her well-informed confidant naturally knows what happened. Therefore, she has not been ignorant about visiting Mrs. Fu recently, or posting a post asking Mrs. Fu to attend a banquet.
People seemed to have adapted to the fact that Mrs. Fu no longer cared about the matter. As for who should decide on the matters of the Fu family, there were some different voices.
Logically speaking, the eldest young lady should take over the power, but the powerful people in Yongcheng all knew that the eldest young lady was not interested in the power in the backyard of the Fu family. She was not even interested in the communication between the noble ladies. After several months of marriage, many noble ladies in Yongcheng only saw the eldest young lady from afar and knew what she looked like, and they had never even said anything.
The fourth young lady has just given birth to a child and there seems to be something wrong with her marriage with Mr. Fu, so she naturally has no energy to care about this.
So people could only focus on the second young lady and the third young lady, but this was actually very embarrassing. The two husbands themselves had no say, and they naturally had no position in the eyes of Governor Fu.
The so-called socializing is not just about eating, drinking and walking through the motions. If these two people cannot make decisions or have an impact on the little things of the Fu family, then what is the meaning of socializing with them?
I don’t know if Governor Fu knows these situations, but these obviously have no impact on him.
Governor Fu himself did not believe in the wife's diplomacy. For him, Mrs. Fu had all the other things in the past few years except for managing the Fu family.
Could it be that the Fu family really needs the female family to come forward to make a relationship or inquire about what information?
No need at all.
So even if Mrs. Fu is locked up, as long as someone clears the trivial matters of the Fu family's back home and the family. Of course, there are people who are working hard outside to do the important things, so there is no need for the female family members in the back home to do anything.
This is not to say that Governor Fu prefers boys over girls and looks down on women, but he believes that he should have a clear division of labor when doing things. If Lengsa likes doing things, go out to do things, and if others like to stay at home, stay well.
He does not despise those who live in luxury at home, but this is indeed not an indispensable role.
The family sat together for a reunion dinner. The governor Fu always did not do such elegant things as watching the moon. However, this year, there may be some special meals. The governor Fu stayed for a while after the meal.
Tonight, the Fu family garden was also carefully arranged. Lanterns were hung everywhere in the garden. The breeze blew, and the faint fragrance of osmanthus was floating in the air.
The air in this era is still very good. Although Yongcheng is a big city, most places are still dark at night, so the moon in the sky is brighter and quieter, like a silver plate hanging high in the air.
The members of the Fu family were full of food and food and sat in the garden to enjoy the moon and eat moon cakes and chat, which was a rare family gathering.
Governor Fu sat in the front and talked to Fu Fengcheng, who was closest to him, and occasionally asked Fu Yingcheng a few words.
But Fu Yingcheng was really scared of this father. Every time he looked like a mouse was speechless when he saw a cat. The others sat up and chatted and laughed. Fu Anle and Fu Anle took two little loli and Fu Anyan's son with lanterns in the garden.
Even the four concubines attended, but they sat even further.
Leng Sa glanced at the fifth concubine who was chatting with the third concubine. Her belly was only more than a month younger than Zheng Ying. She looked quite amazing now. I guess she would be about to give birth in a short time.
Leng Sa didn't care what she gave birth to and when she gave birth, but she still remembered what the fifth concubine suddenly pulled herself in the garden last time. She originally thought that she would definitely have any actions later, but she didn't expect that the other party would seem to have nothing happened afterwards. She never took the initiative to find her or said anything, and she always kept her baby in her yard peacefully.
When she noticed her gaze, the fifth concubine turned around and smiled at her. Although she was a little older, her eyebrows were still charming and affectionate, and she was worthy of being the famous courtesan.
"What are you looking at?" Fu Fengcheng whispered near Leng Sa.
Leng Sa slowly withdrew her gaze and said, "Nothing."
Fu Fengcheng glanced at the fifth concubine sitting in the corner thoughtfully, and reached out to pinch Leng Sa's fingers and played with it.
Leng Sa glanced at him angrily. Master Leng's hand is a priceless treasure. Do you think it's mud and let you pinch it and play with it casually?
"Girl, how are your... car factory?" Governor Fu asked with interest as he looked at Leng Sa.
Leng Sa smiled and said, "It's going well. I didn't expect the Governor to care so much about my small factory."
Fu Governor Fu smiled and said, "Of course you have to care, don't forget... You still owe us a big order. If the goods are not qualified at that time, you will refuse to accept the compensation." Before the factory could open it, you dare to ask him to get the order and collect the deposit. If this thing cannot be made, don't blame him for making a harsh note of his son and wife.
Who is not short of money these days?
Leng Sa smiled and said, "This governor can rest assured. At that time, the governor will definitely feel that his previous decision was extremely wise."
"Oh? It seems that you are very confident in yourself." Governor Fu raised his eyebrows and smiled coldly, "I have been very busy lately. Fu Yingcheng followed suit. If you don't believe me, please ask him?"
The eyes of the others fell on Fu Yingcheng. They all knew that Fu Yingcheng had been working with Leng Sa for a while. But except for the Second Young Master, the others only vaguely knew that Leng Sa was now operating some of Fu Fengcheng's industries and also opened a car factory. They didn't know much about how they did it.
Chi Yuanchang was even more excited, as if he had forgotten the previous embarrassment, "Sister-in-law, have you produced the car successfully? Can you give me a discount then?"
Leng Sa smiled and pointed at Fu Yingcheng, "Ask him."
Fu Yingcheng himself is actually a very expressive person, but he became habitually depressed in front of Fu Governor Fu and Fu Fengcheng.
At this moment, the two of them were present at the same time, and no matter how much he showed, he could not show his desire.
He could only answer Chi Yuanchang's question dryly and reported to Fu Governor, "Well... a car had already left the production line two days ago and was undergoing testing. According to the experts specially hired in the factory, all the data were pretty good. If it goes well, it will be mass-produced soon. At that time... can I help give my third brother-in-law a 10% discount?" He also signaled with his eyes, and if he wanted more discounts, he could only go to the eldest sister-in-law.
Leng Sa looked at Fu Yingcheng's honest appearance and thought to himself that he would remind Fu Yingcheng to remember the truth about doing business in business. Don't turn around and accidentally sell their commercial secrets in front of Governor Fu.
There was a moment of silence in the garden, and obviously I didn't expect Leng Sa to actually do it.
For families like them, it is not difficult to open a store or factory, but the automobile factory is not included.
After all, not only big investment, but sales are not necessarily good. Now there are not many automobile factories in Anxia.
Fu Anyan's eyes turned red even more jealous. She claimed to be the third lady of the Fu family. She always liked to package herself as an independent and capable strong woman, so she naturally had done a lot of business.
Unfortunately, most of her business has lost money. In the past few years, not only did she pay the high dowry given to her by the Fu family, but she even owed a lot of money.
Naturally, she didn't dare to tell her husband and in-laws about this. Now that her mother is locked up again, she has no place to ask for help. I heard that Leng Sa can succeed easily, so how can she feel comfortable?
Governor Fu was very excited, "Oh? So soon? Go back and take a look."
Fu Jun knew where the experts in Lengsa factory got them from. He was attracted by his daughter-in-law from other places and even from research institutes and universities with high salaries. It is said that there was also a professor in the mechanical field at Yongcheng University who was the best at mechanical engineering. He took a look at a picture Lengsa sent over, and then voluntarily ran to the factory to work as a part-time consultant, and even threatened that he could do it without money.
This move made Fu very envious. If labor and capital want to find a top talent, they have to come to the door with a lot of money and provide for it like ancestors. Why can the eldest daughter-in-law catch people so easily and even take care of food and accommodation?
Fu Fengcheng leaned over and whispered a few words in Leng Sa's ear. Leng Sa, who was originally planning to agree, immediately looked at Governor Fu vigilantly.
Governor Fu was speechless and glared at Fu Fengcheng, "What are you talking bad about?"
Leng Sa said, "The Governor, now there are only samples, and it takes a lot of time to do safety testing and debugging, so you can't drive away."
"..." Governor Fu glared at his son angrily, and had a different attitude towards his daughter-in-law. He waved his hand with a very noble manner, "Don't listen to this bastard ruining your father's reputation. Am I that kind of person? But... we can agree that things must be supplied to me first."
Of course, if the results are not good, he will still return the product!
He is the buyer, and the one who spends money is the master!
"This is natural." Leng Sa replied with a smile.
"How is the fourth wife doing recently?" After all, Governor Fu knew that he could not be too generous to the other party. He asked Zheng Ying, who was sitting next to Fu Yucheng, with a dim face.
Zheng Ying hurriedly said, "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."
Tujun Fu nodded, "That's good, take good care of your health and take good care of your children. Just tell me what you need... the second and third daughter-in-law of the Fu family, don't have that little thing. There is also the fourth child, take good care of your wife and children."
Fu Yucheng felt a little nervous when he remembered what happened today, and he was wondering if his father knew something and was hitting him, "Yes, dad."
"Yes, thank you dad."
Then there is nothing to say.
Tujun Fu felt that it was not that he was partial to his eldest son and daughter-in-law, but that he had nothing to say to others.
This rigid one-on-one answer is even more annoying than the intrigue with those immortal insane ones. Even if the son is like this, he will have nothing to say to his daughter-in-law.
What can he say? Is he talking to his daughter-in-law about how to take care of the children or about clothes and jewelry? He doesn't know the former himself, but the latter... others even think he is a rude person.
Therefore, the eldest couple is very in line with the taste of the Fu Governor.
The boss never took him as a father seriously. A few years ago, Fu Fengcheng had a more temper when he was in his early twenties. When he encountered disagreements, the father and son slapped the table and challenged each other, but they scared the adjutant around him very much.
As for the eldest daughter-in-law, Fu Governor felt that sometimes he didn't think he was a daughter-in-law. He could say anything, dare to do anything, and could do well. The key was that he was not as good as the boss, and he was better than his son.
Governor Fu even once considered Fu Fengcheng's proposal. If the boss really fails, it is OK to train the eldest daughter-in-law to fill the gap for the grandson to become a talent.
Of course, this is just an idea. After all, it may be more difficult to subdue a girl in the entire Sixth Province of the South than to train the fourth child to become a talent.
Governor Fu sat for a while and then withdrew. As soon as he evacuated other people who were not interested, he followed suit, such as the fourth concubine and the fifth concubine with a big belly.
Fu Anyan also got up and wanted to leave with a gloomy face. The child who was having fun with Fu Anni and others was not happy. Fu Anyan was in a bad mood and was not angry with her son. She scolded her son coldly, which scared a child who was originally smiling and burst into tears.
Chi Yuanchang's face looked a little ugly, and in the end he could only leave with Fu Anyan with his son.
As soon as Fu Anyan left, the atmosphere became much better.
The second young lady couldn't help but say, "If she continues to make trouble like this, the Chi family doesn't know when they can endure it."
The Chi family is not a slave of the Fu family, and Fu Anyan is not a real princess. After all, they are also a member of the military power. It would be fine tolerant to Fu Anyan everywhere for the sake of the Fu family and the governor of Fu. If you really trampled on the face of the Chi family, the Chi family might not have tolerated it all the time.
Leng Sa leaned against Fu Fengcheng's shoulder lazily and said, "Who knows, this seems to be a lack of social beatings." Can Fu Anyan really mess with the Chi family? She doesn't think so.
The Chi family is still restless when they are so accommodating to you. If something happens in the future, public opinion will be on the side of the Chi family. Even Governor Fu is afraid that it is hard to say anything.
Fu Anyan is good. When the Chi family is weak and incompetent, he doesn't think about it. If General Chi is really weak and incompetent, let a junior be free and unrestrained. Can he follow the military commander Fu to fight on the battlefield and control so many troops?
Fu Yucheng couldn't help but look at Leng Sa, but he didn't say anything.
He had known that Leng Sa didn't like him and Fu Anyan for a long time, so he naturally didn't expect her to say anything nice to her.
"Sister Mingyue!" Fu An ran over and squatted beside Leng Sa and whispered.
Fu Fengcheng glanced at her and said lightly, "Call me sister-in-law."
"Oh, sister-in-law." Fu Annie blinked her eyes and looked at Leng Sa. Leng Sa took a small snack from the table and stuffed it into Fu Annie's mouth with a smile, "What's the matter?"
Annie Fu swallowed the snack and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go out for fun?"
"Go out to play?" Leng Sa was a little surprised.
