Chapter 33
Fu Tian thought about taking over the Fu family's business for a long time and finally spoke it out today.
Unexpectedly, what he was going to say was this. Fu Youqin looked slightly stunned, and Fu Tian’s serious expression was reflected in her eyes.
She knew her own son very well. Fu Tian was a lazy and not ambition-oriented person. Most of his peers with similar family backgrounds had their own ambitions or ambitions.
Only Fu Tian, who neither loves to study nor has any interest in doing business, nor does he care about the family's industries. He is a teenager, still as innocent and charming as he was when he was a child, living a carefree life.
She knew that she had protected him very well, but it was too late to wake up, and there was no other way except to continue to spoil and protect him.
After all, the Fu family has a great career. Even if Fu Tian lives in a daze all his life, these property will be enough for him to eat for several lifetimes.
Fu Youqin's original plan was: When Fu Tian got old, he would show him a older woman who could manage the family, so that the two of them would live a peaceful life.
She expected the current series of changes, and Fu Tian's unexpected growth was also beyond her expectations.
The young birds protected under their wings finally wanted to walk out of the bird's nest and take a look at the outside world.
"Why did you suddenly think of this? Don't you still want to participate in the imperial examination?" After taking over the business, it is definitely not as easy as being free now. It will be even more difficult to calm down and study at that time.
"I want to share some of it for you," the drooping eye feathers trembled slightly, and Fu Tian said slowly and firmly: "I won't let go of my studies. Even if I take over the business at home, as long as I want to study, there will always be time."
"I'm already an adult, I can help you..."
Fu Tian said a little aggrieved. He tried hard to make himself look more mature, but the temperament he had developed in nearly twenty years was not so easy to change.
He wasted ten years in his previous life, and except for his appearance becoming rough, the innermost things never changed. Therefore, his mother always regards him as a child and does not want to believe that he can also take on the burden of the Fu family.
"Look at you're wronged." Fu Youqin laughed and patted his palm gently on his head. "I know what you think. It's not too late to hand it over to you after I have sorted out all the messy things."
"You are tired and sick." Fu Tian looked up, his eyes as if he was forced to prove his little boy, "Uncle Ji told me all."
"Why..." Fu Youqin was slightly stunned.
"I have settled all the books in the shop," Fu Tian said in front of her: "There are five shops in question. The day after tomorrow I will go to the two shops in Shangming Town to see the situation."
If Fu Youqin, who saw that he was sick and was eager to share the burden with her, did not take it seriously, now that he heard Fu Tian’s words, he finally faced Fu Tian’s request.
Fu Tian carefully repeated the incidents of the past few days to her with a stern face, and finally revealed his guesses and plans.
"It's my mother who underestimates you..."
Fu Tian’s guess was similar to what she thought, and the plan was very thorough and he couldn’t make a big mistake. Fu Youqin sighed slightly, holding his hand and sighed a little.
My son grew up unknowingly where she didn't see it.
Fu Tian shook his head and leaned over to hug her, "You should take good care of your illness at home. In the future, I will leave the business at home to me. If you don't understand, I will ask Uncle Ji."
"Okay." Fu Youqin was hugged by him. The boy holding her was still thin, but his not strong chest could also help her shelter from the wind and rain.
Fu Youqin patted him on the back and asked Qingbi to take his dressing box over.
Qingbi went to the innermost part and found a mahogany dressing box and handed it to her. Let Qingbi go out first, Fu Youqin stroked the smooth lid nostalgic, and then put it in Fu Tian's hand.
"This is the key to the warehouse. There is a secret door in the vase on the far right of the warehouse. If the shop loses too much and needs capital turnover, you can use the money inside to help the emergency."
Fu Tian held the dressing box and opened his eyes slightly. There was a secret door in the warehouse, which was something he didn't even know in his previous life.
With a smile on his face, Fu Youqin looked a little nostalgic. She gently turned the lock on the wooden box and opened the lid. On the red velvet substrate, a string of bronze keys were lying.
The key looks a bit old, but it is very smooth to play with, and the whole body is filled with a faint metallic luster.
"This is the family fortune accumulated by the ancestors of the Fu family over the years. I have never told you before... You won't blame me, right?"
The ancestors of the Fu family were once the richest man in one place. After retiring to Nanming County, most of the industries were sold, and only a small part of Nanming County was retained. No one knew where the sold property went.
Later, as time evolved, the reputation of the Fu family gradually precipitated. No one knew that the Fu family in Nanming County was the Fu family, which was once rich and wealthy, and no one cared about where those huge property went.
Fu Tian shook his head. He could fully understand why his mother hadn't told him this secret in his previous life. There was a secret door in the warehouse, which contained the wealth accumulated by the Fu family over the years. Even Wen Boli didn't know about this. After they were driven out of the Fu family, his mother hid the secret tightly. Wen Boli probably didn't know until he died. There was a treasure trove hidden under his nose.
Such huge wealth is not a gift for him who was too simple in his previous life, but rather a burden and danger.
Fu Youqin said: "The Fu family is already rich enough. No matter how much wealth is, it will not add to the icing on the cake. It will only attract the attention of those who are interested. If it is not necessary, don't use the things inside easily."
Fu Tian naturally understood this truth without showing his wealth, and in fact he proved that this approach was correct. The Fu family was a huge wealth in Nanming County, but looking at the entire Da Chu, there were many richer people than them. The small Fu family was not conspicuous among these huge wealthy people.
Therefore, during the war in the previous life, Sifang Town was still stable, and Wen Boli's family also lived a stable life. On the contrary, many wealthy people in the rebel territory. Fu Tian heard many rumors that these people were forced to hand over their property as "national treasury". Those who did not pay the money were eventually confiscated for committing rebellion.
Fu Tian put the dressing box on the cover, and the machine on the cover made a crisp "click" sound. After thinking about it, he still returned the dressing box to Fu Youqin, "Since you can't use it, just put it here."
Fu Youqin smiled and shook her head, pushing the dressing box back, "This should have been kept by the head of the Fu family. It was handed over to me when your grandfather passed away. Now that you are willing to take on the burden of the Fu family, you should keep this key."
Fu Tian held the small wooden box, as if he was holding a heavy rock in his arms. No moment could make him realize the heavy responsibility on his shoulders better than now.
With a tense face, Fu Tian solemnly agreed, "I will keep it well."
Fu Youqin smiled with relief and patted his hand to let him go back and rest early. After talking for so long, she was a little tired.
Fu Shuyue stepped forward and pulled out the pillow behind her. After she got to bed, she walked out with Fu Tian.
When he arrived outside, Fu Shuyue said warmly: "Do you have to set out to Shangming Town the morning after tomorrow?"
Fu Tian nodded and briefly talked about his plan. When he heard that there were other people who would go with him, the worries between Fu Shuyue's eyebrows became much weaker.
The siblings gathered together and whispered for a while before Fu Tian went back with the wooden box.
He returned to the room nervously with the dressing box. Fu Tian stumbled around and finally hid the small box in the dark cubicle at the head of the bed and placed it with his small vault.
...
No dreams all night.
The next day, he had to rest for a day, but Fu Tian still got up early and asked Fu Ji to find out the life of the managers of the two shops in Shangming Town for him to show him.
He is going to Shangming Town tomorrow, and he wants to get as much information as possible.
Xiao Qiao and Chang Xi went to the street to buy things, Chu Xiangtian and Zhou Chuanqing are the most idle now, so they are still playing chess in the yard.
From morning to evening, the two of them fought for several games. As the sun was about to set completely, the people in the study were still focused on reading the documents. Chu Xiangtian threw away the chess piece in his hand casually, preparing to pull out the young master to rest.
Zhou Chuanqing, who was thrown away, had a vein on his forehead, and he almost won in this game. As a result, the man left as he said nothing, and the chess quality was really bad.
Chu Xiangtiancai didn't have the heart to care about his thoughts, knocked in the door and went in. He looked at the young master who looked up at him, leaned over and squeezed his cheek, "It's getting late, it's time to go back and rest early."
Fu Tian was almost finished watching, so he pushed Chu Xiangtian's hand away and mumbled him, "Yeah, it's going to be fine right away."
After saying that, he continued to look at the documents.
Chu Xiangtian: "..."
