Chapter 17: Applying for a Job at a State-Owned Hotel
Hearing this, Jiang Guifang felt that the dignity she had worked so hard to maintain was crushed.
"Mom! Stop talking." Jiang Nianyue interrupted her, "We have no power or influence. In the end, we are marrying above our station."
Li Guixiang couldn't help but frowned when she heard her words.
Zhong Heyang coughed lightly and the two looked at each other.
Li Guixiang reacted and said, "Zhiyang, your elder brother is right. Since you don't want to go back with us, I will treat you as my grandson. I hope you will never regret it."
Zhong Zhiyang looked up suddenly, seemingly in disbelief.
Zhong Xuexi was a little confused. She spoke uncertainly, "Grandma..."
Before she could finish her words, Li Guixiang pulled her out.
"Hey! Why are you leaving so soon?" Jiang Guifang was anxious. She pushed Zhong Zhiyang, "That's your grandmother! Do you really want to break off relations with her?"
Zhong Zhiyang wanted to chase after him, but he stopped after taking only two steps.
If grandma can break off relations with him, what can he do if he chases her out? Do I really have to listen to my grandma and break up with Jiang Nianyue?
He can't do it.
We can only blame him for not being capable enough now. If he were as successful as his elder brother, who would dare to say anything when he wants to marry someone?
Just wait.
He must make everyone look at him with admiration!
Thinking of this, he turned around and looked at Jiang Nianyue, "Yueyue, I only have you from now on, will you always be with me? I swear, I will let you live a good life."
Jiang Nianyue forced a smile, "I believe you."
"But they are all your family. You shouldn't have to make such a fuss with them because of me."
"It doesn't matter. Just because they can't accept it now doesn't mean they won't be able to accept it in the future. As long as I make a name for myself, they will definitely regret it." Zhong Zhiyang was extremely confident.
Now, he can finally join the army openly!
When he becomes a person like his elder brother, he will marry Jiang Nianyue.
It will be useless no matter who objects by then!
Jiang Nianyue took a deep breath and tried to maintain the smile on her face, "I believe you."
In her opinion, it was impossible for the Zhong family to really sever ties with Zhong Zhiyang.
But Li Guixiang is still angry now. As long as Zhong Zhiyang surrenders, the Zhong family will still accept him.
The most important thing now is to get pregnant with Zhong Zhiyang's child as soon as possible.
Only after having a child did she feel confident.
…
After leaving Jiang's house, Li Guixiang secretly shed tears, "He Yang, are we really going to ignore him from now on..."
"Grandma, he's not a child anymore." Zhong Heyang rubbed his eyebrows.
"Ah? Are you serious?" Zhong Xuexi couldn't believe it. "Those mother and daughter are not good people!"
Zhong Heyang asked: "Can you persuade him to come back?"
Zhong Xuexi was silent.
"They approached you because they were targeting the Zhong family. Now that we have let them go, the ones who should be worried are the mother and daughter."
Hearing this, Zhong Xuexi suddenly realized.
"Grandma, I think this idea of Big Brother is a good one. When Zhiyang sees the true colors of the mother and daughter, he will definitely come back."
Li Guixiang wiped away her tears and said, "He has never left me since he was a child. I don't know whether he is living comfortably out there."
"He just hasn't suffered. He will come back when he has suffered enough."
Zhong Xuexi held Li Guixiang's hand and said, "Don't worry, I have acquaintances there. If anything happens, I will tell you."
Li Guixiang felt relieved and asked, "Then you should go home with grandma. I am worried about you living out here alone."
Zhong Xuexi pursed her lips lightly, her eyes fell on Li Guixiang's white hair, and finally she softened her heart, "Okay, I'll go home now."
…
As soon as I arrived at the door of my house, a little figure rushed over, "Grandma! Did you bring my second uncle back?"
Li Guixiang's eyes were red, "No."
Zhong Niannian looked up and found Zhong Xuexi was there too. She grabbed the corner of her clothes awkwardly, "Aunt, you're back."
Zhong Xuexi snorted, "This is my home. Where else can I go if I don't come back?"
With that, she strode in.
When passing by Lin Ziqiu, she glanced at him with disdain and didn't take Lin Ziqiu seriously at all.
Lin Ziqiu ignored him. She noticed that Li Guixiang was in a bad mood and said, "You guys go into the house first. I'll go cook."
Zhong Heyang followed and helped to pick vegetables. "My little sister is moving back home. If she annoys you, you don't have to put up with it."
Lin Ziqiu shook his head, "I don't think there is anything wrong.
Deal with people like Zhong Xuexi. The more you pay attention to her, the more excited she becomes.
Zhong Heyang looked at her nonchalant appearance and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Finally, he uttered a word, "Okay."
"I'm going to look for a job." Lin Ziqiu thought about it and decided to inform him about her job search.
Zhong Heyang paused, "What job?"
Lin Ziqiu said: "The kitchen staff of a state-owned restaurant, but they haven't decided whether to hire me or not."
State-owned hotel?
The kitchen staff are all men. What's the difference between this and entering a den of wolves?
"I can support you, you don't have to go out and find a job."
Lin Ziqiu smiled and said, "Then I can't rely on you for support all my life."
Zhong Heyang blurted out: "Why not?"
Lin Ziqiu was slightly startled. "Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, let alone a relationship like ours."
Zhong Heyang frowned and tried to persuade Lin Ziqiu, "Then you stay at home to take care of the children and the elderly, and I will pay you a salary every month, okay?"
Lin Ziqiu declined. "Even if I go out to work, I can still take care of the family."
Zhong Heyang lost his appetite when he thought about Lin Ziqiu going out to work.
…
That day, Lin Ziqiu went out early in the morning.
She had already communicated with Li Guixiang, and thought there would be some arguments, but her grandmother supported her: "Just go with peace of mind, I'm still at home!"
When Zhong Xuexi heard her grandmother praising Lin Ziqiu while eating breakfast, she sneered: "How much money can you make from this? It's better to stay at home honestly!"
"You can't say that." Li Guixiang retorted: "It's a good thing that she wants to make money on her own."
"I know you look down on her, but now that she's married to your brother, we're family. Even for your brother's sake, you should stop being mean to her."
Zhong Xuexi curled her lips, "Did she do anything good for you? You always protect her."
"She didn't do me any good, but what you are eating was made by her."
Zhong Xuexi: “…”
When they arrived at the restaurant, Lin Ziqiu took out some supplements and planned to give them to Mr. Li.
There were almost no customers in the state-owned restaurant at this time, and only people in the kitchen were preparing food.
In addition to Tian Gui, there were two other people beside him.
"Xiao Qiu, you're here!" Tian Gui greeted her with a smile, "Let me introduce you briefly. These are my two good-for-nothing boys. They usually help me prepare food and give me a hand."
"Hello, Sister Xiaoqiu! My name is Tian Xiaofeng, you can just call me Xiaofeng."
The boy who greeted him was Tian Gui’s youngest son. He looked like an adult, with a tall build and a smile that looked very much like Tian Gui.
Lin Ziqiu smiled and said, "Okay!"
