CHAPTER 502: CHAPTER 501: COMING TO COLLECT DEBTS

In the eyes of the students, each day starts with opening their eyes to study and ends with closing them to sleep; the days really just fly by!

But for the new nanny hired by the Gu Family, it has only been three days since she arrived, yet she feels as if each day drags on like a year!

After leaving the embrace of her biological mother, it took her three days to get used to Aunt Gu Qing! Yet just as she did, a new person took over! Smelling the scent of a strange woman, the child started a new round of crying!

Thus, the newly arrived nanny became the third person tormented by him.

Having endured one day, she thought the child was just not used to strangers, so she said nothing.

After two days, she thought the child was still adjusting, and still, she made no complaint.

But after enduring the third day, she couldn’t take it anymore!

At five in the morning, she left the child on the bed and told Gu’s father that she wouldn’t do it anymore, the reason being it was too exhausting!

Gu’s father had a hard time finding someone to help with the child, how could he let her quit just like that?!

So, he beseeched her to stay using his own inability to move around as an excuse, while also tempting her with a raise; eventually, he successfully persuaded the nanny to stay.

It must be said, after all, professional nannies indeed have expertise with children!

A week later, the child finally was not crying all the time, unlike when Aunt Gu Qing took care of him.

However, his habit of refusing to sleep in bed at night couldn’t be corrected; he still insisted on being held to fall asleep!

So the nanny once again insisted on resigning—and this time very resolutely!

No one could handle staying up night after night unless they were made of iron!

Meanwhile, already overwhelmed by the news of a mass exodus of delivery riders, Gu’s father was on the verge of collapse!

At this moment, he desperately wanted to focus entirely on his own delivery business! He only returned home very late to sleep, and sometimes even ended up squeezing into the restaurant with Little Gu’er!

At this juncture! Where would he find the leisure to hire another nanny to care for the child?!

And to find another who could endure more than the current one?! Forget it...

So, he only had one option left—to pour money! Pour money until the nanny agreed not to leave!

——

After resolving this concern, Gu’s father and Zhen Yan fiercely competed in the delivery market!

Unfortunately, in the beginning, he was so overwhelmed that he completely forgot that it was Zhen Yu who originally introduced Wang Lin to the delivery business!

By the time he remembered, with Wang Lin as the chief officer responsible for all personnel management and operations; Chu Fang as the head of merchant sales, handling restaurant partnerships and market access; and Zhen Yan providing backup support and technical investments, Brother Delivery had firmly established itself in the turf of Qi City!

"Wang Lin! Is it you?! Are you the one sabotaging Gu Family’s delivery behind the scenes?!" Gu’s father roared like a madman!

Wang Lin calmly sat in the dumpling house, directly saying, "I am not sneaking around behind your back! Whatever I do is open and aboveboard!"

Gu’s father slammed the table and said, "You still dare to deny it! The riders left in droves, wasn’t that your doing?! You know we have a contract! This is a breach! I’m going to sue you!"

"The contract I signed with you covers the responsibility of managing the delivery riders, but there is no specific requirement in the contract about how many riders there must be! Riders are people too, what can I do if they leave for higher wages elsewhere? Aren’t I in the process of hiring more?"

Wang Lin’s last sentence sounded light, but it choked Gu’s father, leaving him unable to utter another coherent sentence!

"You! You..."

"I came here today to tell you that I no longer want to maintain this contract! How about we terminate it amicably?"

"In your dreams!" Gu’s father blurted out without a second thought!

"Heh!" Wang Lin laughed, stood up and said, "Whenever you come to your senses, come find me! I have other matters to attend to, so I’m leaving now!"

—

Not long after Wang Lin left, Little Gu’er quietly came to Gu’s father’s side.

He whispered persuasively: "Uncle! What use is there keeping him around? It’s obvious he’s colluding with Zhen Yan! Any plans we have would be leaked if he knows, and without delivery riders cooperating, we can’t execute them! Keeping him here is just annoying us, uncle!"

"I know..." Gu’s father drooped his head and looked down at the ground, somewhat puzzled about how his life had gotten to this point.

Previously, everything had been fine, and he could go wherever he wanted with ease and good health! But now, he found himself confined to a wheelchair. He used to meet his sister every now and then, but now it’s been at least ten days or half a month since she last visited his home. His daughter used to be well-behaved and sensible, but now she’s become willful and brash, often slamming doors when upset!

When did all this start?!

It seems, ever since Mrs. Zhen gave birth to her son...

Ha! How is this a son! This is nothing but a disaster! Must be here to settle some debts...

At that moment, Gu’s father suddenly felt an unreasonable irritation towards his own son, directing all his grievances towards him! His presence no longer brought the brief joy of his birth, only endless annoyance!

—

In a blink of an eye, the child was nearly two months old and no longer cried all through the night.

The highly-paid nanny had adjusted to his routine and decided to stay and take care of him earnestly.

However, the nanny noticed that the child’s head seemed to grow faster than other children she had cared for. In just a month, it visibly grew bigger.

That evening, she brought it up to Brother Gu.

"Brother Gu! There’s something I need to tell you."

Hearing this, Brother Gu’s face instantly darkened! "He hasn’t been as fussy as before, right? What about him,"

Misunderstanding his tone, the nanny quickly interrupted and clarified directly: "I’m talking about the child’s head!"

The mention of ’head’ startled Brother Gu, and he immediately stood up and walked towards the room where the child was sleeping!

"Not to boast, but I have cared for many children! But your son’s head... Sssh! It seems a bit too large!"

Once inside the bedroom, Brother Gu understood without her having to say anything more!

The child’s head was indeed larger than it was a month ago!

Brother Gu, without saying a word, turned around and walked back to the living room, leaving the nanny confused. Then, she saw him return with a tailoring tape measure and lifted the child’s head...

"45 now! Ah..."
