First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!

Lu Ding understood Fu Xinghe’s words.

Fu Xinghe also understood the unspoken meaning behind Lu Ding’s words.

Walking forward, he opened the office door, reaching out: ”Brother Lu, after you.”

Lu Ding gave a grand flourish of his sleeve, the dark fabric shimmering with myriad colors, and strode forward: ”Elder Shui, farewell.”

”Secretary Qiu, see you tomorrow.”

Secretary Qiu responded, ”See you tomorrow.”

Elder Shui was still poking at his phone: ”Be safe, Xiao Lu. Call if anything comes up.”

After the two had left.

Secretary Qiu echoed Elder Shui’s earlier words: ”He won’t have any trouble. Whether the Fu family will have trouble... that remains to be seen.”

”Brother-in-law... I wonder if a man of your social standing can withstand the brashness of Lu Ding today.”...

At the same time.

Elsewhere.

Hanjing, Jiaozu Compound, Fu Residence.

”Eldest Brother, I heard Xinghe is currently working for Lu Ding, both specially assigned to the new city. They’re doing quite well...”

”Some say the Great Han is planning to restart the new city project.”

”Others say the Great Han intends to focus on developing the new city.”

”I’ve even received news that the chaotic seasons and disordered time in the new city are gradually normalizing. Considering all this intelligence, even if the higher-ups haven’t finalized the decision to restart the new city, once it returns to normal, its development will undoubtedly be significant.”

Fu Nansheng, Fu Xinghe’s father, sat in the host’s seat in a Western suit, quietly listening to his younger siblings speak.

Only when a pause finally came, their words settling, did he speak up and ask, ”So, Second Brother, Third Brother, Little Sister, what exactly are you trying to accomplish?”

The three looked at each other.

Ever since the leader under whom the old master of the Fu family served fell from grace, and the old master was placed under house arrest, Fu Nansheng had single-handedly shouldered the banner of the Fu family.

This household had become his alone to command.

He also fulfilled the responsibility of ’the eldest brother is like a father.’

He cared deeply for his three younger siblings.

Whether it was arranging jobs for Second Brother’s children, handling Third Brother’s children’s education, or managing Little Sister’s marriage, he personally oversaw everything.

He even used his own resources and money to subsidize his three younger siblings.

He treated his siblings’ children even better than his own biological son.

He did all this, solely for the old master’s one sentence: ’You are the eldest brother.’

If not for the fact that Fu Xinghe’s mother was a straightforward, beautiful fool, Fu Nansheng probably would have waited until his three younger siblings’ careers and families were stable before considering starting his own family.

Thinking of his eldest brother’s sacrifices over the years.

These three siblings not only failed to be grateful but increased their demands.

This time was no different.

They wanted not only to suck blood from Fu Nansheng but also to insert the straw into Fu Xinghe.

Fu Family’s second son, Fu Nanzai, spoke first: ”Eldest Brother, Third Brother, Little Sister, and I have been thinking this way.”

”The reason our Fu family not only avoided decline after that incident but developed to this point, while inseparable from your efforts, Eldest Brother...”

”It’s also related to our Fu family’s willingness to invest and our philosophy of staying ahead of the curve.”

”Since the new city now has development potential, and it’s a very special place—once it develops, it definitely won’t be a small affair.”

”Now Xinghe is also there, working under the special envoy.”

”How about you talk to Xinghe? My second daughter, your niece, her job has no future. It’d be better to have her go with Xinghe over there, arrange some official position for her.”

”While the situation there is still unsettled, we invest early. What do you think...”

Fu Family’s third son, Fu Nanting, followed up: ”I mean the same thing, Eldest Brother. Look at my son, your nephew. Although you found him a decent internship unit, and he’s worked there over a year now...”

”But people strive for higher ground, water flows to lower places. I think he also needs some experience. Don’t worry, I guarantee he’s not afraid of hardship or fatigue. Talk to Xinghe, have his older brother go over too, help that Grand Duke Lu with some work.”

”I hear this Grand Duke Lu is currently, first, a favorite of the Hanjing Director-General, and second, the most favored junior in Elder Shui’s presence. His future development is limitless. Only when everyone does well can the Fu family do better. Isn’t that right, Eldest Brother?”

Fu Family’s fourth child, also the youngest sister of Xinghe’s father, opened her mouth even wider: ”Brother, you’ve always loved me most since I was little.”

”Your brother-in-law is still stuck in a mediocre position. Xinghe is too young, his temperament immature, his cultivation not yet sufficient. What real help can he offer Special Envoy Lu?”

”In my opinion, Xinghe is still a child. He needs more time to settle and mature. As his father, with one word from you, have him focus on studying and maturing.”

”During this study period, it’s the perfect time for your brother-in-law to temporarily take over his duties, to properly help Special Envoy Lu share the burden.”

”Don’t worry, I told him before coming. Once he succeeds, he’ll never forget you, his eldest brother~”

Fu Nansheng, having reached his current position, was certainly no fool.

But... facing the collective requests of his younger siblings.

He truly didn’t know how to refuse.

In other words, since childhood, he had never refused any request from his younger siblings.

It was a habit maintained for decades.

The phrase ’the eldest brother is like a father’ had him trapped, completely.

He had even imposed this concept onto Fu Xinghe, choosing to accommodate his siblings’ children even at Xinghe’s expense.

This also led to the other three’s endless demands.

Fu Nansheng pondered, not daring to make a decision lightly. A very small part of the reason was fear of wronging Xinghe—a reason he could overcome.

Seeing him silent.

The others exchanged glances.

Then, Fu Family’s second son, Fu Nanzai, said: ”Eldest Brother, Huan’er happens to be here today too. She hasn’t paid her respects to you, her uncle.”

With that, he called outside: ”Huan’er, come in quickly and kowtow to your uncle.”

As he spoke.

Fu Family’s third and fourth children also called in their own son and husband.

Three figures walked in from outside.

”Niece, Fu Huan, kowtows to Uncle.”

”Nephew, Fu Yiming, kowtows to Uncle.”

”Brother-in-law, Chen Shijie, kowtows to Eldest Brother.”

The three kowtowed, their heads thumping loudly against the floor.

This display directly put the soft-hearted Fu Nansheng, who was already lenient towards family, on the spot.

”Get up, get up quickly. Why didn’t you come in when you arrived?”

Fu Family’s second son said: ”We were discussing matters. They couldn’t come in. Now that we’re almost done talking, you can get up. Your Uncle, your Eldest Brother, has already agreed to help you with your affairs. Don’t forget him once you achieve success.”

”Naturally, Huan’er will never forget Uncle.”

”Your brother-in-law was orphaned since childhood, lonely and suffering. The Fu family is my family, brother-in-law is my kin.”

”Your humble nephew, Fu Yiming, has no way to repay you. Please accept my bow.”

Although Fu Nansheng hadn’t agreed yet, now...

He sighed.

His heart was already wavering, the scales tilting.

Just as he was about to say something, someone came in from outside and reported: ”Master, someone saw the young master driving back at the street entrance.”
