Chapter 886 I Have Someone Above Me

Jiang Jiaqi caught up with her and said, "Rou Rou, I'm not complaining about you."

She thought that what she had just said had hurt Zhong Rou.

Jiang Jiaqi felt it was a pity that Zhong Rou was implicated and dismissed, but after all, they had been friends and roommates for three years in college and had a good relationship, so she wouldn't be angry about it.

“I know,” Zhong Rou replied casually.

"Then don't look for a job for me, I can find one myself." The two walked side by side.

Most importantly, what kind of job can Zhong Rou find?

Perhaps they were just part-time jobs or odd jobs, with little pay and a lot of work, which wasn't what she wanted.

"Don't worry," Zhong Rou patted her chest. "Trust me in my abilities."

"What company is that?" Jiang Jiaqi didn't want to offend Zhong Rou, so she took the opportunity to back down.

"Founder Investment Company." Zhong Rou entered the building. "I have connections."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiaqi subconsciously looked up.

There's no one up there...

Left with no other choice, Jiang Jiaqi followed Zhong Rou into the elevator. The two of them, carrying cardboard boxes, took up half the elevator space, causing several men and women in suits to shrink back slightly. These were friends, chatting quietly.

"Hoo..." A bespectacled man took a deep breath, put his hands together, and said, "God bless me and make sure I get into Founder Investment Company. I'll kowtow to you next year."

The words "Founder Investment" immediately caught Jiang Jiaqi's attention, and she perked up her ears.

"Hehe, it's just an interview, why are you being so formal? You can always find another company," a girl next to me said with a laugh.

“Yan Yan, you don’t know this,” another boy spoke up, “Fangzheng Investment Company isn’t so easy to get into.”

"Oh, does that mean Founder Investment Company is very powerful? Has a high entry threshold?" the girl asked. "But I couldn't find any information about its power online. It only has an official website, which isn't even maintained yet."

“It’s really impressive,” the boy replied. “The employees we recruit are all from prestigious universities or have studied abroad. If we didn’t have internal referrals, it wouldn’t be so easy to get to the interview stage.”

He paused, then continued, "This investment company treats its employees exceptionally well. Their salaries and benefits are top-notch in the industry, earning them a stellar reputation. Overtime pay, meal allowances, transportation subsidies—they provide everything. More importantly..."

"Founder Investment treats its employees very humanely. Unless they do something irreparable, there are almost no dismissals, and the jobs are quite stable."

"That's why the company is extremely careful when hiring employees. Every position requires careful selection and multiple rounds of screening."

"Oh~~~" The girl immediately understood, and then her expression became much more serious.

Jiang Jiaqi nudged Zhong Rou, who knew what the former was thinking and nodded, saying, "That's right, the job I found for you is Founder Investment."

The elevator was cramped. The people in front of them turned around after hearing Zhong Rou's words. The boy with glasses said, "Are you two also here to apply for jobs at Founder Investment?"

"Hmm... more or less."

A hint of sternness appeared in the eyes of the people in front.

Everyone here is looking for a job, and when facing excellent companies, everyone is a competitor.

With a 'ding', the elevator doors opened, revealing a large number of job seekers who lined up outside waiting for their interviews.

A few people lined up ahead of them, while Zhong Rou, carrying a cardboard box, said to Jiang Jiaqi, "Jiaqi, come with me."

Jiang Jiaqi stopped in her tracks: "Aren't we going to wait in line?"

"Need not."

Zhong Rou stepped over the queue, preparing to stride inside, when the girl from the elevator said, "Why aren't you two in line?"

Upon hearing this, the people in line turned their gazes to Zhong Rou and her companion, and immediately looked down on them for cutting in line.

"Queuing is the most basic quality a person can have."

"Exactly, it's not like we can't have interviews."

"Perhaps they lack confidence in passing the interview and want to finish it as soon as possible so they can leave."

“... ..."

There was whispering and gossip in the queue.

An employee in charge of recruitment at Founder Investment Company said, "What are you talking about? Don't talk during the interview, be quiet."

"Someone cut in line here," someone said, pointing at Zhong Rou and Jiang Jiaqi.

The employee in charge of recruitment came over and said, "You two are here for an interview, please line up."

"Who said I came here for an interview?" Zhong Rou tilted her head.

"If this is not an interview, please leave. This is private property."

Jiang Jiaqi tugged at Zhong Rou's sleeve.

She was overwhelmed by the disdainful looks she was receiving.

What's with all this noise and commotion here?

Just then, a gentle voice came from outside.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man who looked to be no more than thirty years old walk in. He had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips that were slightly upturned, giving him a somewhat unruly air. He was tall and straight, and his every move exuded mature charm, yet also carried the unique vigor of youth.

"So handsome," was Jiang Jiaqi's first impression.

"Good morning, Mr. Chu." Upon seeing Chu Fang enter, the employee in charge of recruitment straightened up. "I'm dealing with someone cutting in line..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Fang saw his sister-in-law, who was carrying a cardboard box: "Hey, Zhong Rou, what brings you to the company?"

"Brother-in-law," Zhong Rou pouted, looking aggrieved, "I was bullied."

Everyone present was stunned.

The employee in charge of recruitment looked at Zhong Rou with resentment.

Why didn't you tell me your identity earlier...?

You did it on purpose.

"Brother-in-law!" Jiang Jiaqi's pupils widened, her voice hoarse.

She racked her brains but never imagined that Zhong Rou, who worked part-time at school and seemed poor, would call a handsome guy "brother-in-law."

Am I dreaming? Jiang Jiaqi wondered to herself.

"Hehe..." Zhong Rou had anticipated her roommate's reaction and smiled. "Aren't you surprised?"

He then said, "Let me introduce you. This is my brother-in-law, Chu Fang, who is also the owner of this company."

After introducing themselves, Chu Fang nodded and then waved for the two to follow him into the company.

The crowd was left stunned.

The group looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

The employee in charge of recruitment touched his face and said quietly, "Damn it, I offended President Chu's sister-in-law. Will this affect my career? Good heavens."

... ...

Chu Fang led the two into his office, poured them a glass of warm water, and asked, "What brings you here?"

"I was bullied." Zhong Rou's eyes were crystal clear, glistening with tears.

"Oh ho, who's so capable of bullying you?" Chu Fang was already used to his sister-in-law's performance and wasn't fooled.

Besides, there aren't many people in the world who can bully their own sister-in-law.

It's already good enough that my sister-in-law doesn't bully others.

Zhong Rou told Chu Fang everything that had happened yesterday and today, and the latter smiled after listening.

“I asked you to come work at my company, but you insisted on going out on your own. Now you finally know how hard it is to live under someone else’s roof, right? From now on, you can work at my company, so your sister won’t have to worry about you all the time.”

"I don't want to!" Zhong Rou shook her head and refused.

"Then what are you doing at my company?"

Zhong Rou nudged Jiang Jiaqi: "This is my friend. She lost her job because of me. Please arrange a position for her in your company."

Chu Fang nodded: "No problem."

Zhong Rou continued, "There's one more thing."

"What's up?"

Zhong Rou smiled and punched Chu Fang's arm: "Brother-in-law, I want to start a business, lend me 50 million."

"Hiss..." These words snapped Jiang Jiaqi out of her daze, and she couldn't help but gasp.

Fifty million... ...

This is such a huge sum of money, yet it came out of Zhong Rou's mouth so easily.

Zhong Rou thought for a moment and realized that the two hundred thousand yuan she had saved was definitely not enough to start her own business; it would only be a drop in the bucket. So she thought of Chu Fang.

Unable to fully rely on her father, she could only borrow money from her brother-in-law.

Chu Fang spread his hands: "I have no money."

"Then I'm going to find Chu Jin to play."

"Here you go..." Chu Fang agreed.

If he didn't agree, this sister-in-law could turn Chu Jin into a tyrannical devil.

Is there any peace left in that house?

My house will be demolished!

"Hehe..." Zhong Rou was happy. With a little force, she tapped Chu Fang's shoulder and couldn't help but 'ouch'.

Then Zhong Rou took the paper and pen on the table, wrote an IOU for 50 million, signed it, and stamped it with her fingerprint.

"I'm fine, but your sister would be heartbroken if she knew we'd split up like this." Chu Fang looked at the IOU. "Fifty million isn't a huge sum."

"Then let's not let my sister know."

"At worst, I'll treat this money as an investment, not an IOU," Chu Fang suggested.

"No! I must have 100% ownership of my company. My company's future value will definitely not be 50 million, but 500 million, 5 billion, 50 billion, or even 500 billion."

Chu Fang: "..."

I've only ever heard of people making empty promises to others, I've never seen someone make empty promises to themselves.

Talented!

Zhong Rou hugged the cardboard box and then left, saying, "Brother-in-law, I'm leaving. Please transfer the money to my card as soon as possible."

After saying that, she pulled Jiang Jiaqi away from the office.

Chu Fang rubbed his aching shoulder and said, "What kind of mess is this?"

... ...
