Chapter 218: A daughter-in-law is more important than money

Having said all this, if Gu Chen didn't accept it, it would seem that he was being too formal.

He took the red envelope from Wu Shuhui's hands, nodded, and smiled.

'Then thank you, Mom.'

After saying this, he handed the red envelope to Ji Pianran without hesitation, smiling tenderly at her.

'The usual rule, you keep it and do what you want with it.'

Ji Pianran didn't refuse either. She nodded, 'Okay.'

It wasn't that she was afraid that her mother would give her too much money and she wouldn't be able to spend it.

Rather, she was really used to Gu Chen giving her money.

Every time Gu Chen came home, he would give her the money he earned that day, just to put her mind at ease. Ji Pianran understood this.

He said that in other families, the wife controls the money, and he had also wanted to experience the life of being controlled by his wife.

So she happily kept the money every time.

But in fact, she had never spent a penny.

She couldn't earn money, but she could save money, and Gu Chen needed money for his business.

She wanted to save all the money for him as start-up capital.

There was not an ounce of insincerity between the two, and their cooperation was extremely tacit.

Their state was exactly that of a couple who had trusted each other for a long time.

Ji Guangsheng sat on the bed, never saying a word.

But a trace of unnoticeable gratification flashed in his eyes.

Although this kid didn't have any money, he wasn't a money lover.

For him, Peiyan was obviously more important than money.

This made him unconsciously feel a little good about Gu Chen.

Which father doesn't want a son-in-law who is really good to his daughter?

He may be strict, but he is still a father after all.

Ji Guangsheng turned his gaze to Ji Chu and spoke lightly.

'Bring the wheelchair over here.'

He was a man who cared about his image, and he still had to act formal when meeting Gu Chen for the first time.

Lying on the bed all the time, looking so sickly, was really a bit sloppy.

He wanted to sit up.

He still had to try this guy out properly.

Seeing that his father wanted to get up, Ji Chu hurriedly pushed the wheelchair in the corner over to him.

In fact, Ji Guangsheng was not disabled, but just had a weak body and had difficulty walking.

That's why he chose to use a wheelchair.

Seeing that Ji Chuzhi had put the wheelchair in place, Uncle Guangzhi hurried over and reached out to help Ji Guangsheng get up.

He was not in good health and always had to be helped to sit up.

Ji Guangsheng waved his hand and slowly got up from the bed, preparing to sit in the wheelchair himself.

He had just eaten a lot, and his body was warm.

A hot current seemed to have entered his bloodstream and was slowly flowing through his limbs.

Not only was he feeling better, he also felt a little stronger.

He just knew that the porridge was very nourishing, and thought that it was because he had eaten more of it that he was feeling this way.

What he didn't know was that it wasn't just the nourishment, but also the blessing of the spiritual spring water.

Spiritual spring water could cure all diseases.

The effect of these things in his stomach was very different from his usual diet.

At this moment, everyone's attention was on him.

They were worried and nervous.

They saw him slowly turn around, put his hand on the armrest of the wheelchair, and then sit down heavily.

His movements were extremely slow, but there was no doubt that he had succeeded.

Seeing that he could actually get into the wheelchair by himself, everyone in the room, except for Xiaotangtang, let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

This was especially true for Wu Shuhui, Ji Chu, and Uncle Guang.

These three people took care of Ji Guangsheng every day and naturally knew how bad his condition was.

However, just now, Ji Guangsheng actually got into the wheelchair by himself.

Although it was just a small movement, it was enough to make them very excited.

Wu Shuhui was seen tightly grasping Ji Chu's hand, her face full of indescribable emotion.

She was really very happy.

Ji Chu was also happy.

He squeezed his mother's hand, nodded towards her, and then turned his gaze once again towards his father.

'Dad, I'll cover you with a blanket,'

he said, before going to get a blanket.

Ji Guangsheng waved his hand, 'No, I'm not cold.'

He had never felt warmer in his life. In the past, because he ate little and his physical fitness was poor, he was always cold, like a new mother in the postpartum period, and the slightest breeze was enough to make him shiver.

But today, for some reason, he not only didn't feel cold, it was as if all the blood in his body was flowing more smoothly.

This feeling was really comfortable.

He looked at Gu Chen's face and said, 'I heard from Uncle Guangguang that you are very talented at business.'

Gu Chen smiled, 'Actually, I just sell herbs and buy fruit and other things, just a small business.'

He still had a good sense of his own abilities, and his business was really not on the same level as the Ji family's.

Ji Guangsheng smiled, "Are you still going to do business with herbs in the future?'

His family was in the herbs business, and while he couldn't say for sure about other businesses, he knew a lot about this one.

Gu Chen thought for a moment, "Not necessarily. I'll do whatever makes money, after all, I still have to live, don't I?'

He was telling the truth. At this stage, Gu Chen's only thought was to plant the land well, produce and sell on his own. He would contribute deeply, taking one step at a time. Maybe one day he would discover something that suited him better than farming, and then he might not farm anymore.

Ji Guangsheng nodded. He could tell that he was telling the truth and had nothing to hide.

However, it didn't seem that he meant to do the same business as his family because they dealt in medicinal herbs.

To be honest, the Ji family's main business is medicinal herbs, and it has deep roots. If Gu Chen chooses to rely on it, then he will find it extra easy to get things done.

But looking at his expression, he has not thought about it in that direction at all.

This is somewhat surprising to Ji Guangsheng.

He smiles and says, 'Why don't you consider working for the company, starting as a department manager?'

To be honest, he has been watching Gu Chen since he entered the door.

This kid is good to Pianran and has a quick mind.

And, he has backbone.

He's a good match for me, and he likes people with backbone.

But he's inexperienced, and he needs some experience before he can do big things. Let him start as a department manager, and we'll see how he gets on, and decide what to do next.

If it really is like Bai Guang said, I wouldn't mind having him as a vice president in the company.

It's all part of the Ji family business, and it's all down to Ji Guangsheng.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen shook his head and said, 'Well, thank you for your kindness, but I don't think I'm a good fit for the company. I prefer to mess around on my own.'

Gu Chen was a person who was not indecisive when it came to business, but to be honest, he was used to being lazy and preferred to work in his free time.

What kind of time would he have to spend with his children and daughter-in-law if he worked from 9 to 5?

Besides, his salary would not necessarily be as high as if he were running his own business, which would be a huge waste of money.

What's more, he didn't want to join the Ji family company, and didn't want everyone to think that he had achieved his success today because of his daughter-in-law.

Ji Guangsheng was a little surprised.

This kid actually rejected him?

To be honest, he was the first person to reject him so decisively.

He wasn't quite used to it.

Ji Guangsheng spoke slowly, half-joking, 'Won't you reconsider? You should know that many people would kill to work for the Ji family.'
