Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 571 - 573: Arranging Affairs

Gao Guofu, as if settling his affairs, left quietly after speaking. Gao Dazhuang watched Gao Guofu’s retreating figure, tears streaming down his face.

Day broke, but Gao Guofu didn’t go to the hospital; instead, he returned to the Red Star Team.

At this time, Lin Xuebi and the others realized that Gao Guofu was missing and searched everywhere, feeling extremely anxious.

"Your dad must have taken that one hundred thousand with him, go find your dad quickly." Lin Xuebi was frantic, regretting that she had slept so soundly; that damned old man hadn’t disclosed where he hid the money, he definitely took it out to hide somewhere.

So, early in the morning, Xia Xiao’s family headed back to the Capital, Feiteng went to the zoo, and Lin Xuebi and others were everywhere looking for Gao Guofu, they even reached the entrance of the zoo.

Upon seeing them, Feiteng raised an eyebrow, "What are you doing here?"

"My grandnephew, your grand-uncle is missing." Lin Xuebi said urgently.

"What does that have to do with me." Feiteng had someone close the gate and left, without wanting to deal with Lin Xuebi and the others.

Lin Xuebi and her group had no choice but to go back and keep looking, Yang Hua said, "Could dad have gone to the hospital?"

Her younger son said, "Could he have gone to look for Big Brother?"

However, as they were heading back, they saw Gao Guofu. Lin Xuebi immediately rushed up wanting to slap Gao Guofu, wishing to curse at him, but when she got to Gao Guofu’s face, she held back.

Gao Jianmin and Yang Hua both sighed in relief. Gao Jianmin asked, "Dad, where did you go?"

Gao Guofu remained silent, walking towards the direction of the Red Star Team. He was unwilling to speak, so they couldn’t get anything out of him.

"Hurry and call your big brother’s family and your aunt over." Yang Hua was busy instructing her younger son.

Gao Guihua and Gao Dazhuang came over, but Gao Guofu didn’t say anything nor did he take out any money to share; Lin Xuebi and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

The family ate a meal together, and Gao Guihua and Gao Dazhuang left without staying much longer.

Meanwhile, Gao Guofu had changed; he didn’t go to the hospital for treatment but enjoyed playing mahjong at a convenience store.

However, Gao Guofu was mostly lucky, winning more than losing, so Lin Xuebi and the others followed him there, figuring it was alright as long as they didn’t lose. Thinking that Gao Guofu was close to death, they all indulged him, of course, while keeping a keen eye on the money in Gao Guofu’s pocket.

Lin Xuebi didn’t know where Gao Guofu had hidden the money, and could never have guessed that he would hide it in the roof beams.

Lin Xuebi had looked at the ceiling, but that was precisely where Gao Guofu had hidden the money, a trick he reserved during the construction of the house, so Lin Xuebi couldn’t find it.

What Lin Xuebi never expected was that Gao Guofu had also stuffed the remaining twenty thousand yuan into a bamboo pole. Unable to find Gao Guofu’s money, Lin Xuebi felt very agitated, but she could not lash out at Gao Guofu, though Yang Hua wasn’t so fortunate.

Yet for the sake of money, Yang Hua also tolerated Lin Xuebi, thinking to herself: this damned old woman, once I get the money, I won’t make it easy for her.

Over here with Feiteng, the lawyers had already been changed, and naturally, the ex-girlfriend was no longer seen, which Feiteng thought was a relief as he didn’t want to face her anymore.

Meanwhile, Li Aiguo and Zhao Jianjun were facing a disagreement. Lin Xiang had returned to her parent’s house, taking the child with her, and Li Aiguo had to coax her back.

Although Li Aiguo’s family situation wasn’t bad, it still couldn’t compare to Lin Xiang’s, let alone that Li Aiguo actually had a bit of a liking for Lin Xiang.

When Li Aiguo wasn’t around, Zhao Jianjun had to face the company people who were eagerly hoping to collaborate with the zoo, primarily because Gao Jiaxing was a legend in their eyes.

Originally, when everyone heard that it was Gao Jiaxing’s family’s zoo, they were all eagerly anticipating it, but unexpectedly, the plan fell through, which left many feeling uncomfortable.

Knowing that it was because of Lin Xiang, they naturally felt resentful, and they targeted their complaints at Li Aiguo as well. Although Li Aiguo and Zhao Jianjun were the bosses and they were the employees, watching such a great opportunity and piece of "fat meat" fly away was obviously upsetting.

Half a month later, Li Aiguo coaxed Lin Xiang back, and he sensed that something was amiss in the company. Moreover, Lin Xiang had also been talking about Zhao Jianjun and Chen Juan. Lin Xiang hoped that Li Aiguo would relocate the Security Company to her parents’ area, and she planned to apply for a job at the hospital there.

They felt they might have offended Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao, somewhat afraid that Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao would set traps for them. After Lin Xiang’s persuasion, Li Aiguo agreed as well.

So upon his return, when Li Aiguo noticed the tense atmosphere at the company, he didn’t care and directly proposed at the meeting to relocate the company outside of the county town.

Naturally, this met with opposition from much of the management. Many people did not want to leave, so there was significant disagreement.

Li Aiguo felt that moving out of the small place of the county town was a good thing, going to his father-in-law and mother-in-law’s place, leveraging local relationships, and potentially securing many partnerships.

Li Aiguo shared these thoughts, and some were enticed, but Zhao Jianjun disagreed.

Thus, the Security Company split that day. The company still belonged to Li Aiguo, as he and Lin Xiang had invested more money.

Zhao Jianjun and his group settled their accounts and left. Compared to the well-connected Li Aiguo, fewer people chose to follow Zhao Jianjun, with most opting to stay with Li Aiguo.

"Brother Zhao, what should we do?" someone asked.

"We’ll go see if the zoo is hiring."

As soon as Zhao Jianjun spoke, everyone agreed, and he led his dozen or so teammates to the zoo, unsure if it would work out, but it was worth a try.

Feiteng was somewhat surprised to hear Zhao Jianjun was coming.

"Uncle Zhao," Feiteng called politely.

Zhao Jianjun said sheepishly, "Just call me Old Zhao."

"Uncle Zhao was once my dad’s comrade-in-arms. It’s proper for me to call you uncle." Feiteng invited Zhao Jianjun in, lifting an eyebrow at the dozen people behind him.

Zhao Jianjun said, "Feiteng, we’re all unemployed now and wanted to ask if you’re hiring. We’d work with you."

"Sure, but there are many rules here. Also, my elder brother found me a group of soldiers who were injured in combat and have now retired. They work here, and they each have some old ailments. You’ll need to give them the utmost respect."

With Feiteng’s words, Zhao Jianjun breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "We’re all from the military, naturally brothers. And they’re heroes who deserve our respect."

Right then, Zhao Jianjun and the group stayed at Feiyang. While Feiteng had never been a soldier, he had been learning martial arts since he was young and also trained with the military during winter and summer breaks, hence his robust physical condition.

Even in the zoo, Feiteng joined in the training with everyone, and sometimes he even sparred with the tigers.
