Chapter 110: Fu Zhengtu, I Want to Get a Driver's License

Su Taotao was momentarily stunned, not expecting to hear about such a national hero, and immediately felt a deep respect. She said, "Please have him come for an interview. If he's willing, we'll give him priority in hiring."

The gate guard was initially overjoyed, but then his expression darkened, and he sighed, "Actually, when he retired, the organization had already arranged a job for him. But he said the allowance from the organization was enough for his living, and since he couldn't do much work, he didn't want to take up a position that someone more capable could fill."

As he spoke, the guard became more sorrowful: "To avoid burdening my niece-in-law, he's suggested divorce several times, but she refuses. They've been married for more than a decade and still don't have children. If it weren't for this place being built, they'd likely still be living apart."

The guard wiped away his tears and continued, "Recently, he's been thinking of going back. My niece-in-law asked me to persuade him, and I thought if he had a job, something to hold onto, he might be willing to stay.

His parents passed away early, and he was raised by our brothers, each taking turns to feed him. He's an honest man with a good heart. I mentioned the new factory's hiring to him, but he said they should hire someone fully able-bodied who can handle other tasks, and he didn't want to be a burden."

The guard had only met Su Taotao a few times and wasn't sure why he was opening up so much to her.

Perhaps it was because he felt that Fu was reliable, and the wife he married must also be good. Last time, Su Taotao stood up for Fu's brother, and she raised her child well. Su Taotao quickly became a director, surely a capable and reliable person.

Su Taotao had great respect for those who defended the country and felt a deep sympathy for such injured veterans. If he had stayed in the army, he would probably be a colonel by now.

Su Taotao felt particularly sorry and could understand the guard and that hero.

In fact, since she came to this era, most of what she had seen and encountered were simple and honest good people.

Good people deserve good things and should live peacefully.

"Uncle, please set up a meeting with him; I'd like to speak to him personally."

The guard looked at Su Taotao in surprise, momentarily dazzled by her bright smile, and quickly nodded, "Okay, okay, thank you, Director Su."

Su Taotao said, "No need to be so formal, just call me Little Su. I have some things to attend to inside, and then I'll go see the children."

The guard added, "Since you last... ahem, educated those naughty kids, the school has been much more peaceful. Your children are all doing well."

After Su Taotao left, the guard watched her walk away and sighed, thinking how this family was full of good people. Fu Yuanhang had given him candy a few times.

Today, he helped carry a little child's stroller at the gate, and the fairy-like little child, so small, knew to smile and say "thank you" to him.

Yes, good people will have good rewards and will live peacefully.

After the last incident, Director Chen now got a bit nervous every time he saw Su Taotao's strikingly beautiful face.

"Su, Comrade Su, what brings you here this time..." Director Chen was so anxious that he even used the formal "you," even though Su Taotao was much younger than him.

Seeing Director Chen's expression as if facing a great enemy, Su Taotao couldn't help but find it amusing and said very politely:

"Director Chen, could I trouble you to borrow the fax machine to send a fax?"

Director Chen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, wiping the non-existent sweat from his forehead, "Use it, use it, take your time."

Su Taotao was somewhat speechless, was she really that intimidating?

While sending the blueprint to the construction team, Su Taotao handwrote an application for a driver's license.

After confirming with the construction team that they had received the fax, she called Fu Zhengtu.

Fu Zhengtu was probably very busy, as it wasn't him who answered the phone. It seemed someone had run over to answer, and when the call was picked up, his slightly heavy breathing accompanied a low "Hello" came through the receiver.

The scene from last night's concessions flooded her mind, and Su Taotao bit her lip, her ears slightly reddening: "Fu Zhengtu, I want to get a driver's license."

The breathing on the other end of the phone paused noticeably, and after a moment, he said, "Okay, I'll apply for you."

Su Taotao: "..." All the arguments she had prepared turned out to be useless!

Fu Zhengtu, this man, seemed to have never opposed any of her requests.

Even in this era, such an unconventional request as a female comrade wanting to get a driver's license, he didn't even ask a single question.

"I've already written the application and will fax it to you later. Take my application and ask the leader to write me a recommendation letter. If it's convenient, bring it back to me tonight, and I'll go practice tomorrow when I leave the island."

Fu Zhengtu still responded: "Okay."

Su Taotao bit her lip again, unconsciously swaying the phone cord: "You didn't even ask why before you agreed?"

The man on the other end of the phone clearly laughed, his voice deep and smooth: "Do you want me to question you or say no?"

"Neither," Su Taotao's tone carried a hint of coquetry she wasn't even aware of, "Alright, give me the fax number, I'll send it over."

Fu Zhengtu gave her the fax number, his lips curving into a warm smile.

Zhou Zheng happened to pass by, teasing him with a smirk: "Something's up, you're smiling with a hint of joy after a phone call. Whose call was it, your Director Su's?"

It was well known in the base that Fu's wife, Su Taotao, was planning to open a food factory.

The fax machine rang, Fu Zhengtu pushed Zhou Zheng aside to answer: "You're quite the talker."

Zhou Zheng: "...It's you who never says a word, how am I talking too much?"

Fu Zhengtu ignored him, took the fax, glanced at it, and started smiling warmly again.

Zhou Zheng leaned over, quickly read through it, and looked horrified: "Little Su, your wife wants to get a driver's license?"

Fu Zhengtu: "Can't you read?"

Zhou Zheng gave a thumbs up: "Fu Zhengtu, Fu, I have to say your taste in choosing a wife is top-notch, truly a woman who stands toe-to-toe with men."

Starting a factory and learning to drive—how many men could keep up with that?

Fu Zhengtu put away the application, left a "Thanks for the compliment," and went to call Su Taotao back, saying he received it.

Zhou Zheng sighed as he watched him, is marriage really that good? He's two years older than Fu Zhengtu, maybe he should find a wife too?

After confirming everything, Su Taotao left the school office.

Director Chen, who had listened to the entire conversation between her and Fu Zhengtu, was silent. This Comrade Su was no ordinary woman, she was formidable, and he must never offend her again.

Su Taotao walked along the classrooms to find Class 1, Grade 4, wanting to surprise them and see what Fu Haochen was up to, if he was behaving.

When she sneaked up to the classroom window and saw the delicate and beautiful little one next to Fu Yuanhang, she was completely taken aback...
