Chapter 218: 218 Daughter-in-law is more important than money_1

The conversation had reached this point, and if Gu Chen refused, he would seem too standoffish.

He took the red envelope from Wu Shuhui’s hand, nodding with a smile.

"Then, thank you, Mom."

After finishing speaking, he unhesitatingly handed the red envelope to Ji Pianran, smiling at her with a face full of tenderness.

"Old rules, it’s still kept with you for disposal."

Ji Pianran didn’t refuse and nodded her head, "Okay."

It wasn’t that she was reluctant because her mother gave too much money.

But rather, she was truly accustomed to Gu Chen giving her money.

Every time Gu Chen came home, he would hand over the money he made that day to her, hoping to give her peace of mind, and Ji Pianran understood this.

He said that in other families, the wife manages the money, and he too wanted to experience the days when his wife managed the money.

So, each time, she happily took care of the money.

But in fact, she never had the heart to spend any of it.

She couldn’t earn money, but she knew how to save money, and Gu Chen’s business needed money everywhere.

She wanted to save all this money for him as startup capital.

There wasn’t a shred of insincerity between them, their coordination was extremely tacit.

Their relationship was completely one of a couple that had long trusted each other.

Ji Guangsheng sat on the bed, staying silent throughout.

But a barely noticeable look of relief flickered in his eyes.

Although this youngster didn’t flaunt his wealth, he wasn’t greedy for money.

To him, Pianran was clearly more important than money.

This unconsciously made Ji Guangsheng take a liking to Gu Chen.

Which father doesn’t hope that his son-in-law truly cares for his daughter?

No matter how strict he is, he is always a father at heart.

Ji Guangsheng turned his gaze towards Ji Chu, then spoke indifferently.

"Bring the wheelchair over."

He cared about his image, and for his first meeting with Gu Chen, he had to be a bit more formal.

Just lying sickly in bed like this was somewhat slovenly.

He intended to sit up.

He still had to properly test this young man.

Seeing that his father wanted to get up, Ji Chu quickly pushed the wheelchair from the corner over.

Actually, Ji Guangsheng wasn’t disabled; it was just that he was too frail and walking was difficult.

That’s why he chose to use a wheelchair.

Seeing that Ji Chu had positioned the wheelchair, Uncle Guang hurried over, extending his hand to help Ji Guangsheng up.

His health was not good, and he always needed to be assisted to sit up.

Ji Guangsheng waved his hand, then slowly stood up from the bed, ready to seat himself in the wheelchair.

He had eaten quite a bit just now, and his body felt warm.

A warm current seemed to enter his bloodstream, slowly flowing through his limbs.

Not only was his spirit much improved, but he also felt some strength in his body.

He only knew that the ingredients in the porridge were very nourishing, and he thought it was because he had eaten a lot that he felt this way.

However, he had no idea that it wasn’t just the food that was nourishing but also the blessing of Spirit Spring Water.

Spirit Spring Water, after all, was something that could cure all diseases.

These things ingested were vastly different from what he consumed on a regular basis.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze was fixed on him.

Worry, anxiety.

Only to see him slowly turn, place his hands on the armrest of the wheelchair, then sit down heavily.

His movements were very slow, but without a doubt, he had succeeded.

Seeing that he could actually get into a wheelchair by himself, everyone in the room, except for Xiao Tangtang, let out a sigh of relief almost simultaneously.

Especially Wu Shuhui, Ji Chu, and Uncle Guang.

The three of them took care of Ji Guangsheng every day, so they naturally knew how bad his condition was.

But just now, Ji Guangsheng had actually managed to get into the wheelchair by himself.

Although it was just a small action, it was enough to excite them immensely.

Wu Shuhui tightly clenched Ji Chu’s hand, her face indescribable with excitement.

She was really thrilled.

Ji Chu was happy too.

He squeezed his mother’s hand and nodded at her, then turned his gaze back to his father.

"Dad, I’ll get you a blanket."

As soon as he had finished speaking, he went to get a blanket.

Ji Guangsheng waved his hand, "No need, I’m not cold."

His body was warmer than it had ever been before. In the past, due to his poor diet and physical condition, he was always susceptible to the cold, like a daughter-in-law in confinement, a little breeze could make him shiver.

But today, for some reason, he was not only not cold, but it seemed like all the blood in his body was flowing more smoothly.

This feeling was truly comfortable.

He looked at Gu Chen’s face, "I hear from Uncle Guang that you have a talent for business."

Gu Chen smiled, "Actually, I just sell some medicinal herbs and buy some fruits, it’s not much."

He was quite aware of his limitations; his business and the Ji Family’s were not on the same level at all.

Ji Guangsheng smiled, "Are you planning to continue with the medicinal herbs business in the future?"

His own family was in the medicinal herbs business, and while he might not know much about other trades, he was well-versed in this one.

After some thought, Gu Chen replied, "Not necessarily, I’ll do whatever makes money, after all, I still have to make a living, right?"

He was speaking the truth. His only idea at the moment was to take things step by step, start with farming his own land and selling his own produce. Who knows, he might find something even better suited for himself than farming one day and might not farm anymore.

Ji Guangsheng nodded, seeing that Gu Chen was telling the truth without any intention to hide anything.

However, it seemed he had no intention of following the Ji Family’s lead in the medicinal business.

To be honest, the main business of the Ji Family was medicinal herbs, and it was well-established. If Gu Chen had chosen to rely on them, things would have been much easier for him.

But from his expression, he was clearly not considering this direction.

This was somewhat surprising to Ji Guangsheng.

He suggested with a smile, "Would you consider working for our company, starting as a department manager?"

He had been observing Gu Chen ever since he walked in.

The young man was good to Pian Ran and was quick-witted.

Moreover, he had backbone.

He threw his tantrums at Ji Guangsheng, and Ji Guangsheng liked people with backbone.

However, with no experience, if he wanted to achieve great things, he would have to gain some first. Letting him start as a department manager would allow Ji Guangsheng to assess his character and decide his next steps.

If he really was as Bai Guang said, Ji Guangsheng wouldn’t mind letting him be a vice president in the company.

After all, it was all Ji Family’s business and up to Ji Guangsheng’s decision.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen shook his head, "Hmm, thank you for your kindness, but frankly, I don’t think I’m quite suited for office work. I prefer to do my own thing."

Gu Chen, although diligent in business, was truthfully accustomed to leisure and preferred jobs with flexible hours.

A nine-to-five job would take away too much time to spend with his children and wife, wouldn’t it?

And the salary might not even be as much as he could make doing his own business, which would be an impractical choice.

Moreover, he didn’t want to join the Ji Family’s company and let everyone think that his achievements were due to his wife.

Ji Guangsheng was somewhat taken aback.

The young man had actually turned him down?

To be honest, he was the first person to refuse him so flatly.

He was not quite accustomed to it.

Ji Guangsheng spoke slowly, half-jokingly, "Won’t you reconsider? You should know that many people are desperate to join Ji’s company."
