Chapter 757 Help
The others exchanged knowing smiles, and just then, the bell on the fishing rod suddenly rang. Zhou Weihua quickly dropped the bait in his hand and shouted, "The fish has taken the bait! The fish has taken the bait!"
The others didn't hesitate and quickly joined in to help. Good heavens, they caught another big fish weighing over a hundred pounds.
"Ha! We finally have a gift for tomorrow." Zhou Weihua was overjoyed. His first time fishing had yielded a bountiful catch, and the others were also all smiles.
Jingle Bell!Jingle Bell!
Just then, the phone on the table rang. Wang Zi, who was closest to the table, quickly got up to answer it, only to find that it was Ge Dawei's phone ringing, and it was his mother calling.
"Dawei, it's your mom calling." He handed the phone to Ge Dawei.
Ge Dawei shook his head and smiled before answering the phone. His mother's voice immediately came through: "Is this Dawei?"
Ge Dawei replied, "Mom, it's me. It's so late, why are you calling me? Is something wrong?"
"Your grandfather's 70th birthday is tomorrow, don't forget to come back and celebrate with him!"
"Mom, I'm afraid I can't participate..."
Before he could finish speaking, his father's scolding voice came through the phone: "No matter what, make sure he's there tomorrow, or he's never coming back."
Ge Dawei glanced at his friends, then shrugged and smiled, saying, "Dad, why didn't you and Mom remind me sooner? I'm abroad right now!"
"Whether you're abroad or on Mars, you have to come back for your grandfather's 70th birthday tomorrow, or don't call me Dad anymore."
Beep beep! Beep beep!
The other party promptly hung up the phone.
"Dawei, you're something else! You even fooled your parents," Chao Bufan joked.
Ge Dawei said calmly, "Don't judge me, we're all in the same boat!"
Then, the five of them started chatting about all sorts of random things, seemingly without end. It was as if they could always have endless conversations about life and topics to discuss when they were together.
"Alright, let's get down to business." Ge Dawei changed the subject, drawing everyone into a "united front." "In any case, there are some things I have to share with you."
"That's more like a brother!" Wang Dakeng patted him on the shoulder and laughed.
Ge Dawei smiled and then said, "My maternal grandfather owns a listed company. He has always hoped that I would be his successor and that he would hand over the company to me to manage."
"This is a good thing!" Wang Dakeng said.
“You don’t understand,” Ge Dawei said with a wry smile. “My uncle has two sons, and they have always been prejudiced against me and always target me.”
“They probably think they are the right people to succeed the company!” Chao Bufan said.
Ge Dawei nodded and said "Mm," then continued, "Actually, I'm not interested in successors; my interest is in invention."
"Then why don't you develop in this direction, but instead..." Wang Dakeng asked.
“I know that,” Zhou Weihua interrupted him, “because his invention wasn’t recognized by others, so he gave up.”
"Is that so?" Wang Dakeng asked again.
Ge Dawei smiled slightly, which was an indication of his approval.
"Sigh!" Wang Dakeng patted Ge Dawei on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "Brother, you really shouldn't have given up."
“I don’t want to either!” Ge Dawei said with a bitter expression. “If I don’t do this, my grandfather will definitely make me go back. There are some things I don’t want to face.”
“You’re afraid of hurting the harmony, right? Actually, you don’t need to do that at all. Since your grandfather wants you to be his successor, he must have his reasons. He must think that your talent and ability far surpass those of his two grandsons, which is why he values you,” Chao Bufan said.
"There are some things I don't know how to say. I guess every family has its own problems! If I become the successor, my two cousins will definitely make things difficult for me in every way possible. I don't want to damage that family bond," Ge Dawei explained. "Bufan, I'm worried that at tomorrow's banquet, what if my grandfather suddenly decides he won't let me come?"
Chao Bufan laughed and said, "That depends on what you think! If you want to stay, then stay. If you want to continue to adventure with us, we don't mind helping you out."
"Nonsense, of course I'm going to continue 'venturing into the world' with you guys," Ge Dawei said with great certainty.
"Why don't you call back and find out what's going on tomorrow so we're not caught off guard?" Chao Bufan reminded him.
"Understood!" Ge Dawei immediately got to work.
"Dawei, remember to be a little more filial!" Chao Bufan reminded him again.
"Know it!"
So Ge Dawei asked his mother in a very filial tone, and in no time he had gathered all the information.
"Listen carefully. Among the people who have come to offer their birthday wishes are officials, business tycoons, and even some gang leaders. But these are nothing compared to one person I must make clear to you. Her name is Haitang. Both my parents and my maternal grandfather have always wanted to match us up, but I don't like her."
"So how does she treat you?" Chao Bufan asked.
"Of course, she's always had feelings for me. Brothers, I need your help with this. Help me get rid of this burden." Ge Dawei said with a sincere expression.
"Dawei, can you explain this to us more clearly?" Wang Dakeng asked.
"Yes, Haitang's father was once one of my grandfather's subordinates. After retiring from the army, he founded a company, which is now quite successful. If I'm not mistaken, Haitang is the general manager of this company. Haitang is a bit arrogant and always likes to pursue perfection. As for me, you all know that I like Sisi, so she's not my type!"
"How do you want us to help you?" Chao Bufan asked.
“I’m worried that my grandfather might get carried away at his birthday banquet tomorrow and decide on our marriage. So, I’m begging you brothers to give me some advice on how to resolve the issue between Haitang and me without making my grandfather lose face.”
"That's easy, just say you already have a girlfriend, that'll do."
"Things aren't as simple as you think. If it were that easy to solve the problem, why would I need your help? Brothers, I'm counting on you guys for this."
"No problem, leave this to us. Any other questions?"
"Nothing."
"Very well, let's assign roles to each other then!" Chao Bufan said confidently, brimming with self-assurance.
"Each of their respective roles?"
