Chapter 536: The Value of Forgiveness
As usual, Gu Chuanshan and Mei Fang whipped up a casual dinner and were about to have it when Gu Fan unexpectedly returned home. He said that he hadn’t had a drink with his father for a while and suggested they should have a good one together.
Gu Fan’s return took Gu Chuanshan by surprise. He figured the boy had probably come home with the aim of indirectly enquiring about the secrets of the old house.
Mei Fang, tactfully, made the excuse that she needed to go to the market to buy vegetables, giving Gu Fan and Gu Chuanshan some privacy.
The father and son pair started talking over drinks while snacking on peanuts and other dishes.
Gu Chuanshan started the conversation by asking, "How’s work lately? Xiaoling mentioned that you’d found your dream job."
"Work is okay," Gu Fan replied, "but the company is experiencing some operational issues. We’re running at a loss, left with only one boss and one employee – which is me." Hearing this, Gu Chuanshan immediately showed interest, "Why are you even staying? You should look for another job right away."
Gu Fan agreed, "Yeah, I was actually considering changing jobs. You know what, Dad? I’m not only doing secretarial and admin tasks but also cleaning up. When debt collectors show up, I also act as a security guard. My boss is pushing me to my limits."
At this, Gu Chuanshan couldn’t help but laugh, "Hahaha, sounds like your boss is really broke."
Gu Fan sighed, "When I first joined and saw there was literally no one else there, I was dumbfounded. I almost turned around and left on the spot."
