Chapter 337

Chapter 337 - Why Can't I be the Father of a Rich Family?

“You young people are just too lazy,” the middle-aged man remarked, glancing at his chicken. If no one were around, he'd likely pick up the chicken and eat it.

“Young man, are you married?”

“No.”

“Do you have a girlfriend?”

“No.”

“What do your parents do?”

“They're farmers.”

Su Ming listened, growing increasingly uneasy. Why was he being questioned like this?

“Young people today are being corrupted by society,” the man continued. “You need to earn and save more money. You'll need a substantial amount for marriage and even more to buy a house. How much can your parents really have, living in the countryside?”

The middle-aged man took a bite of his meal and shook his head. “You should take a leaf out of my book. I start work at three in the morning and don't get to bed until ten at night. I can make 1,500 a day, easily pulling in 40,000 to 50,000 a month. I've even saved enough to help my son with his wedding and buying a house.” Discover new chapters at novelhall.com

“What does your son do?” Su Ming asked, blinking innocently.

“My son? He does nothing but play games all day,” the man admitted, almost reflexively. Then he paused, struck by the irony of his own words. Here he was, lecturing Su Ming, yet his own son was not nearly as responsible. At least Su Ming was working, unlike his son who spent his days gaming. The chicken leg in his hand suddenly seemed less appetizing.

“So, you're quite the earner,” Su Ming acknowledged with a nod.

The middle-aged man, buoyed by the compliment, puffed up with pride. “Hard work is key. The boss will only value you if you're diligent. I've just secured a deal with a big-time boss. I'll be working for him long-term and earning even more. I'm actually looking for an assistant. How about it? Do you want to work under me?”

He saw Su Ming as naive, someone he could easily bring into his fold.

“What are you staring at? This gentleman is the chairman of our group. If you join our company and become part of our transport team, you'll be working for our chairman, just as I do!”

Boss Sun declared, eyes wide with intensity.

The middle-aged man was utterly taken aback.

Su Ming chuckled.

“His job is quite tough. Boss Sun, perhaps you could consider a position for him, but I have one condition.”

“He must work alongside his son.”

Su Ming's laughter was warm and genuine.

Boss Sun caught on immediately.

He turned back to the middle-aged man.

“Did you catch that? Go home and drag that lazy son of yours here! Otherwise, I assure you that you won't find work anywhere in Eastsea!”

The middle-aged man looked perplexed but quickly grasped the situation.

He agreed in haste, foregoing his meal to jump in his car.

Determined, the middle-aged man resolved to get his son to work. He might not have the means to make his son wealthy by inheritance, but he could certainly become the father of a self-made success.

The more he thought about it, the more irate he became.

“Boss Sun, I'll leave you to your work. I'm heading back.”

“Okay!”

Boss Sun nodded promptly, watching as Su Ming departed.
