After a while, Zhou De and Chen Shu rushed to the study and looked at Zhou Yun and Chen Yuan with tears in their eyes.
Chen Yuan was shocked and hastily asked, “Mum, Dad, what’s wrong? Why are you crying like this? What happened? Don’t cry. If there’s any issue, let’s resolve it. There’s nothing that can’t be overcome…”
Before Chen Yuan could finish her long speech, Chen Shu wiped her tears and said excitedly, “Your dad has found a job with an annual salary of 500,000 yuan! 500,000! Yuan, you can go to Imperial to study. Yun, your father and I will find you the finest institution and ensure you’re tutored as best as you can be. I guarantee that you will succeed at the university entrance examination.”
Zhou Yun had on a fake smile. She felt that she did not need it. It seemed that she, too, had to find a job as soon as possible. Otherwise, her parents would definitely make her have tuition every day.
At this moment, Zhou De’s phone rang again. He quickly wiped his nose and said seriously, “Hello? Who is this?”
The person on the other end of the phone asked politely, “Mr. Zhou, it’s like this. Our company has just started business in Deer City. We just want to ask if you know any catering companies. Not even that; we just need someone who can make some breakfast dishes. We’re thinking of outsourcing our staff meals.”
Zhou De instantly looked at Chen Shu, who was beside him. Then, under Chen Shu’s surprised gaze, he replied dazedly, “Yes… There is, but how many people are you looking to cook for?”
“Not many. Our branch in Deer City only has about 200 people,” the person replied.
“This… this might not be appropriate,” Zhou De said awkwardly. “I only know a breakfast-maker. She’s my wife, but she works alone. I’m afraid she might not be able to handle it.”
The person on the other end immediately said, “That’s fine. We’ll get someone to help. It’s fine as long as the culinary skills are good and the food is delicious.”
“There’s no problem with her culinary skills, absolutely no problem,” said Zhou De hurriedly.
“That’s fine. When you report at the company, please bring your wife along. We’ll discuss the cost of the staff meal,” the person said.
“Alright, alright, alright. Sure, sure, sure.” Zhou De was so excited that he was almost incoherent.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou De and Chen Shu were delirious with happiness.
Even if Zhou De couldn’t remember whether he had submitted his resume to this company, but since the job opportunity had come, he couldn’t waste it. Not to mention, this time, Chen Shu’s job was also settled.
Therefore, the family happily ordered a few braised dishes, a large basin of crayfish, and a few bottles of sake, intending to celebrate.
In the end, they were only happy for a few minutes when Zhou Yi came to the door with some others.
Looking at the menacing Zhou Yi, Chen Shu hurriedly pushed her two daughters into the bedroom.
The living room instantly became noisy.
Zhou Yi pointed at Zhou De and spewed, “Third brother, Zhao Hong is clearly one of your connections. Why did you hide it when your niece was looking for a tutor for her postgraduate entrance exams? What do you mean by that? Now, you’re using your connections to find a way in for that burden of yours. You’re helping an outsider over your own family?”
Zhou De instantly became dissatisfied and said angrily, “Yuan was able to get Zhao Hong’s recommendation letter because of her own abilities. It has nothing to do with me, and I didn’t use any connections. Stop making a scene here. Also, Yuan is my daughter, not a burden. Watch your words.”
Zhou Yi sneered and then said harshly, “You didn’t use any connections? Zhou De, you know very well what you took from the Zhou family. You sold those things to pave a future for a girl with the surname Chen, but never thought of your relative with the same surname Zhou. Have you lost your conscience?”
“When I say I didn’t, that means I didn’t. What’s more, those things don’t belong to our Zhou family. I just don’t want you to profit from other people’s things. Don’t make it out to be so bad,” Zhou De retorted.
“What do you mean it doesn’t belong to the Zhou family? Once it enters the Zhou family’s door, it belongs to the Zhou family. Third brother, since we still have a familial relationship, you’d better take it out now. This way, I can let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, hmph, I’ll smash up your beautiful home,” Zhou Yi threatened.
Zhou Yi and Zhou De’s words were confusing, but everyone was still aware of it. It was something that Zhou De had previously taken away when he had set out.
It was the first time Zhou Cha had heard of this. Her heart sank slightly. It seemed that the Zhou family was still guarded against her.
