Lying on the bed, Wu Tian was very confused as he thought about the comrade and woman who wanted to be with him in his previous life. In this life, he had to live a life of power so that his comrades would not have to take risks for life and face death at any time in the Middle East. As for women, he thought of the Princess of Denmark, whom he had a crush on, and the daughter of a diplomat whom he had once saved and insisted on marrying him. Suddenly, he forgot the girl's name. She had betrayed her family and was still a small security guard. She was really brave. She had sacrificed a lot for him, but he had actually forgotten her name. Was she too abstract and ordinary, or was his memory so bad that he could not remember what she looked like? In this life, I must find her again and love her well! Wu Tian thought about these chaotic things and felt a little dizzy.
Wu Tian drove his father's second-hand car back and forth between Green Camp and the Military Department. Wu Tian had a lot of opinions about this car. He could have bought any brand, but he insisted on buying a "bitch" brand. Sometimes, when he thought about riding on a 'bitch' every day, Wu Tian felt quite happy. In his previous life, he had only had a few days of such happy days.
Wu Tian, who had accepted reality, had completely changed his mindset. What was the biggest cheat in his rebirth? Wu Tian had lived a hard life and would not waste this hard-earned talent. He had not thought of what to do, but becoming a rich man was his unchanging goal.
Wu Tian's current plan was to become a rich second-generation heir first, so that Wu Huansheng's career could reach a higher level. He would be able to live a longer carefree life. Then, he would first have to change the current situation of Wu Huansheng being a contractor.
Wu Huansheng's current project was the Children's Hospital of the Military Health Bureau. He had gotten it from the Health Bureau Director through his connections. The three-story project was simple, the quality requirements were not high, and the payment was fast. In the past few years, Wu Huansheng had relied on the work of the Health Bureau to make a fortune. However, it was the same for success and failure. Wu Tian clearly remembered that in two years, the country would reform the health system, and the good days of the Health Bureau would come to an end. Wu Huansheng had the intention of making one last profit and took on a big project. In the end, the million-dollar project was delayed for more than ten years, and the Wu family lost all their money.
On this day, Wu Tian had followed Wu Huansheng for more than half a day and only managed to get 100,000 yuan. After working on the project for so long, this amount of money was not even enough to cover the cost of the materials. Wu Tian could not understand.
"Dad, is it difficult to get money?" Wu Tian asked. The project was almost halfway done. What could they do with this little money?”
Wu Huansheng smiled bitterly and said," Xiaotian, there are many things you don't know. Everyone thinks that it's easy for a contractor to earn money. Your father, I, have been begging for money every year. What your dad fears the most is debt.”
Wu Tian recalled the words that Wu Huansheng occasionally said after his business failed in his previous life. He had a flash of inspiration. He had to be a little shameless. He hurriedly asked,"Dad, what are you going to do with this money?”
Wu Huansheng said," Of course, we'll take it back to pay the workers. If we can delay the payment for the materials, we'll delay it for a while. If we can't, we'll bring some money."”
Wu Tian smiled bitterly. It was indeed his father's way of doing things."Dad, isn't this breaking the rules? I heard that the contractor will only pay the workers after the project is over.”
Wu Huansheng nodded and said," I know that too. But you also know that it's not easy for those who work part-time. Their families are all relying on this money. I can't do such a thing!”
Wu Tian shook his head and said,"Dad, this project must have cost a lot of money." This 100,000 yuan isn't even enough to fill our hole, and you still want to use it to pay the workers? Dad, have you calculated how much interest there is? If you take out a loan, how much money will our family have to lose?”
Wu Huansheng frowned. It was easy to earn money these years. Although it was difficult to get money, it would come sooner or later. Wu Huansheng did not realize the difference in interest. Hearing Wu Tian's words, Wu Huansheng did some mental calculations. The number he got shocked him.
Wu Tian saw Wu Huansheng's expression and knew that Wu Huansheng was frightened by the huge interest. He continued,"Dad, you're just giving your own money to others to spend. Who wouldn't settle these debts? Otherwise, they would say that this is the industry rule."
"Then what do you think we should do?" Wu Huansheng's expression changed. I've been doing this all these years. What if they didn't work?”
"Dad, you're the only one who does this," said Wu Tian. I don't believe that their family doesn't even have money for food. Other construction sites pay their salaries at the end of the year. Why can't you? Besides, three-legged toads were not easy to find, but there were plenty of two-legged people. They didn't want to do it, but they did. Why wouldn't other construction sites worry about no one working? It was because everyone knew that there were plenty of workers.”
Wu Tian knew that Wu Huansheng was a kind-hearted man who could not bear to see others pity him. However, when it came to money, Wu Tian felt that he had the obligation to remind Wu Huansheng. After all, this concerned his future happiness.
Wu Tian continued,"Dad, you might not think that breaking the rules of the industry is a big deal. You might suffer a loss, but this money is not a small amount. Moreover, no one will be grateful for your benefits." To be more practical, what's the use of these workers remembering you? If there's no project for them to do, will they still remember you?”
Wu Huansheng wanted to say something, but he hesitated. That's right, if that day really came, what was the use of them remembering it?
"Dad, let's not talk about anything else. Which one of those contractor workers has less money than you? Which one of them has done this before?" " Realistically speaking, if you break the rules of the industry, who will work with you? I've been following you around these days. Even if you don't say it, I've already discovered that no contractor has a good relationship with you, and no one has worked with you before. Why? The source is here.”
Wu Huansheng was speechless. He didn't expect that the good things he thought he had done would have so many disadvantages. Many problems that he couldn't figure out in the past had now been figured out.
Wu Huansheng sat there and lit a cigarette. He looked at his son, who was eating with his head lowered, with mixed feelings in his heart.
"Xiaotian, you've said so much. What's your opinion?" Wu Huansheng asked.”
Hearing Wu Huansheng's question, Wu Tian finally heaved a sigh of relief. This meant that Wu Huansheng had really listened to him.
He thought to himself that if this suggestion of his got out, it would really be a little shameless. Who knew how many people would scold him in the future? Shaking his head, he brushed this thought aside and said,"Dad, my opinion is that we should also start delaying the wages of the migrant workers.”
When Wu Huansheng heard his son's serious opinion, he was stunned. He was mentally prepared that this was Wu Tian's idea. However, Wu Huansheng had been a soldier before and was a very upright person. He was not suited to be in the construction industry. In this industry, one had to be black-hearted. The blacker one's heart was, the more money one would earn. Wu Huansheng did not manage to do it in his previous life and collapsed in a few years. In this life, Wu Tian would definitely not let such things happen again.
Wu Tian knew that his idea was a little messed up, but this was the best solution at the moment. Looking at his father who was frowning, Wu Tian was also a little worried. He picked up the Double Happiness that Wu Huansheng had placed on the table and lit one for himself. Wu Huansheng, who was deep in thought, saw his son blowing out smoke skillfully. He wondered when this kid learned to smoke.
Wu Tian looked at the worried Wu Huansheng and thought for a moment before saying,"Dad, if you really can't be ruthless, take out twenty to thirty thousand yuan and give it to them. "Let's put the project on hold for the next few days. Don't bring in the materials. You can ask for money from the Health Bureau in a few days. When we have paid all the money for the early stages of the project, we can continue. It doesn't matter if the project is slow. You can increase the budget and chase after the budget. Wouldn't we earn more?”
Wu Huansheng still couldn't accept it. He frowned and said,"Little Tian, this isn't good. I don't know how many people are scolding me.”
"Dad, what do you think is more important, being scolded or earning money?" Wu Tian asked. Everything was fake. Only the money in his hands was real.”
Wu Huansheng was speechless. Although he couldn't accept it, his rationality told him that Wu Tian was right.
During lunch, the father and son did not eat much. Wu Huansheng's mind was filled with what Wu Tian had said. He looked at the 100,000 yuan in his hand and knew that he could no longer do what he did in the past. Wu Huansheng was kind, not a fool.
That afternoon, Wu Huansheng paid the workers at the construction site 20,000 yuan. There was no trouble as he had imagined, and no one came to ask for it. Looking at the workers who continued to work, Wu Huansheng deeply felt that his son's opinion was correct. He realized that he had been a fool in the eyes of the workers all these years.
When Wu Huansheng returned home at night, he was drunk. Mother Wu, who had listened to Wu Tian's account of the incident, did not say anything. She had been dissatisfied with Wu Huansheng's actions all these years, but Mother Wu had always been at home taking care of Wu Tian's daily life. She did not have much say in matters related to work. After persuading him a few times, she did not say anything more. She did not expect her son to be so amazing. In just a few days, he had persuaded Wu Huansheng.
This change was caused by Wu Tianxiang. In his previous life, Wu Huansheng had left behind a good reputation, but he had nothing. When Wu Huansheng stopped working, the workers disappeared without a trace. It was useless to treat them well.
Wu Huansheng quickly returned to normal. He no longer hid many things from Wu Tian and began to treat Wu Tian like an adult. After asking Wu Huansheng for a few more rounds of money, Wu Tian was also convinced. He took some time to say to Wu Huansheng,"Dad, let's think of a way. Can't we get the directors of the Health Bureau to help us get the money? These few times, I've seen several directors of the Health Bureau asking for money for their projects. Why didn't anyone ask for our projects?”
" You don't know how those guys keep increasing the budget," Wu Huansheng said." It's a 500,000 yuan project, but they insist on delaying it for a month or two until it reaches 700,000 to 800,000 yuan. Those directors of the Health Bureau can take advantage of the opportunity to increase the budget and reap a lot of benefits from it. I won't do such a thing.”
Looking at Wu Huansheng's upright face, Wu Tian was dumbfounded. No way, Dad, what were you thinking?
Wu Tian really didn't know what to say to Wu Huansheng this time. If it was someone else, Wu Tian would probably point at his nose and scold him. Are you stupid?
Wu Tian rubbed his head and said,"Dad, think about it. We can get the project now because we talked to the Director of Health. What if he loses it?" Besides, the additional budget is not your money, nor is it anyone's money. Our country is so rich, why would it care about this? Besides, you're no longer a public official. It's fine as long as you can earn money.”
Wu Huansheng snorted." Earning money is important, but you can't go against your conscience."”
Wu Tian smiled bitterly." Dad, how can you say that it's against your conscience? If you increase the budget, you can improve the quality of the project. Besides, the Health Bureau can also use this name to ask for more money. Some of it is ours, and some of it is the Health Bureau's. This is a tacit secret. If you don't give them this benefit, who would want to give you the project after a long time? They might not say anything, but they might scold you in their hearts!”
Wu Tian sighed and continued,"Dad, let's not talk about anything else. What will you do when the Director of Health is transferred away?" Can you still get a project without him? The Health Bureau is willing to let you do the project. Dad, let's just go with the flow. Don't do anything unique. It's only right to make a fortune.”
Wu Huansheng didn't say anything, but one could see the confusion in his eyes. An upright and kind person had to make all kinds of changes for money. He must be in pain at this moment. Wu Tian looked at Wu Huansheng's figure silently. For some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable. He knew that he was destroying his father Wu Huansheng's upright and unyielding views. It was very cruel, but society was like that. If you didn't change, you would be eliminated. If Wu Huansheng didn't want to be eliminated, he had to change.
Looking up at the sunset in the sky, Wu Tian was also very confused. Where was his future?
