Chapter 91 The Hearts of Parents Are Full of Pity
The interview scene.
When Boss Gu met Fang Lei, he asked calmly, "Do you know how to use a computer? Can you type? How fast is it?"
Fang Lei quickly replied, "I used to be a clerk. I know all the basic office tools, I can make PPTs, and I also know some basic image processing."
"Hmm? This guy's got talent," Boss Gu said. "I'll offer you a base salary of 800 a month. Can you accept that?"
"Yes," Fang Lei replied with a strong voice.
"Okay, you can start work tomorrow. I'll have someone train you and help you understand the product information. Oh, and one more thing. According to the law, hiring disabled employees requires certain modifications to the office environment. I plan to hire more than one disabled employee in the future. If you encounter any inconveniences while working, let me know, and I'll make special modifications to your workstation."
Fang Lei was extremely apprehensive, because he really had nothing to contribute and therefore didn't want to trouble others. He said, "No need, no need, we can overcome these things."
"Hey, that's not how it works." Boss Gu was also a shrewd man. He knew that he couldn't talk to them with pity, but had to help them with a businesslike, even slightly cold, attitude.
He said, "It's not a question of whether you can overcome it; it's that the government will send people to inspect. If the inspectors find the office environment unsuitable, they might not approve my tax breaks. How much would I lose then? Besides, how much would it cost to renovate the office environment?"
Fang Lei then accepted, saying, "Okay."
……
at home.
Fang Lei returned home, and his parents asked, "Son, how did your interview go today?"
The reason Fang Lei's parents didn't go with him was because Fang Lei felt that if his parents pushed him to the interview, he would be like an immature child and would leave a bad impression on the boss, so he went alone.
Fang Lei replied, "If I pass smoothly, I'll earn 800 a month. Mom, I can earn my own money from now on."

"That's good, but don't overwork yourself," the mother advised. "If you feel unwell, remember to tell the people around you. If it really comes down to it, we'll give up this job, but we can't afford to have any more health problems."
Fang Lei pursed his lips and then said, "Mom, I will."
In the afternoon, Fang Lei's parents found out where he was going to work. The company was called Three Little Bees Food Co., Ltd., a Taobao seller company that mainly sold online. The parents went to the company in advance to scout it out.
My father went to the security booth and handed the security guard a Zhonghua cigarette, a soft-pack one at that. He smiled and asked, "Hey, buddy, can I ask you something?"
The old security guard glanced at the Zhonghua cigarette, tucked it behind his ear, and asked, "Who are you?"
The father said, "Oh, my son is going to work here, and I'm just worried about him. So I wanted to ask what the work atmosphere is like at this company? Is the competition fierce? Is the boss particularly fierce? Will the work be very busy?"
Hearing that it wasn't anything sensitive, the security guard spoke frankly: "Work here wasn't busy before, but it's gotten busier now, but the wages are generous."
"The company atmosphere is generally good, as everyone is young and the company is growing steadily. The boss's character is also highly regarded; I've basically never heard of any employee saying anything bad about him."
Then the elderly father used his emotional intelligence to chat with the old security guard in fits and starts.
Finally, he revealed his purpose, handed over a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, and said to the old security guard in a heartfelt manner, "Brother, my son has a special physical condition. He lost his leg in a car accident. Your boss is kind-hearted to take my son in to work here, but I'm also very worried. I'm afraid something might happen to my son with all the comings and goings."
"What I mean is, could you please keep an eye on him for me? You don't need to do anything, just if my son doesn't come out of the company late one day, could you please call me so I can check if something's wrong?"
The old security guard was touched; the hearts of parents are truly selfless.
He accepted the Zhonghua cigarettes and said, "Don't worry, brother, I'll definitely take this matter seriously and get it done for you."
The old security guard wasn't after the pack of cigarettes; he accepted the gift to put the other party at ease.
Meanwhile, inside the company, Fang Lei's mother was chatting with a cleaning lady. After a lively conversation, she took out a red envelope and tried to give it to the cleaning lady.
"Hey, young lady, what are you doing?" the cleaning lady quickly declined.
The mother then revealed her purpose, saying that she had a son who had difficulty walking, and the boss kindly allowed him to work there, but she was worried that something might happen to him, so she asked the aunt to help look after him.
The aunt refused the red envelope, saying, "I won't accept this red envelope. I'll take care of your son for you."
The two then went to see Boss Gu, expressed their gratitude, and asked him to be more lenient, saying that their son might have done something wrong and they should forgive him.
Gu Ming was also touched, and he thought of his deceased father.
At the same time, he also felt a sense of satisfaction that he was a good person, that he was doing a good deed.
The next day, Fang Lei came to work alone in his wheelchair. As he passed the security booth, the security guard inside noticed him and came out.
Fang Lei misunderstood and quickly said, "Uncle, I'm an employee here, I come to work."
"I know," the security guard said with a smile. "The boss already told me that there's a lot of traffic on this stretch of road. I'll follow behind you to keep an eye out for you, so you don't get into any accidents."
Fang Lei's heart softened; this boss was actually quite nice.
The security guard noticed the armrests on the wheelchair and asked, "Do you need me to help you push it?"
Fang Lei waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No need, no need, I can do it myself. I'm a little scared of being pushed."
Fang Lei pushed his wheelchair to the company entrance by himself, and then he encountered his first difficulty.
There are a few small steps at the entrance of the company. For ordinary people, these steps are just a matter of a few steps, but for him, they take a lot of effort.
He remembered his boss's request to renovate the office environment, and that was something he could mention. He suggested modifying the steps and adding a ramp next to them that would allow wheelchairs to access the area.
Just then, the security guard interrupted his thoughts: "Kid, this is a difficult path for you to climb, isn't it? Do you want me to help you? Hey, I really didn't expect that this kind of path would be so difficult for people in wheelchairs like you."
Fang Lei thanked him repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, Uncle. Good deeds are rewarded."
The security guard laughed heartily and said, "Oh, what kind of good person am I? It was just a small favor."
The security guard lifted Fang Lei, wheelchair and all, onto the flat surface of the stairs.
Fang Lei was finally allowed to enter the company. Upon entering, a cleaning lady who was mopping the floor noticed him, walked over, and said to the security guard, "Leave the rest to me. You're in customer service, right? Follow me, I'll take you to your workstation."
Fang Lei expressed his gratitude once again.
The cleaning lady waved her hand and said, "You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank your parents."
"My parents?" Fang Lei was taken aback.
The cleaning lady said, "Yes, your parents came to the company yesterday, greeted everyone around them, and even met with the boss."
Fang Lei's heart clenched, as if he could see his parents bowing their heads and begging for help. He pursed his lips, suppressing his surging emotions, and said, "Then I must thank you for your kindness, Auntie."
