Being called "brother-in-law" so often was certainly pleasing to the ear, but agreeing to it meant taking on responsibility. Qin Shu wasn't the type to make promises lightly, and when he did, he always kept them.
"So what are your plans next?"
Jian Yao gave him a sly look, full of ideas, "Brother-in-law, I think your company is pretty good. Could you pull some strings and get me a position? I'm not greedy, a monthly salary of over ten thousand is fine."
Is this what you call not being greedy? Qin Shu was at his wits' end, but he also had the intention of helping Jian Yan keep an eye on her younger brother. "Okay, if you can pass the assessment, you can get the job. Can you write code?"
Jian Yao swallowed hard and raised his chin. "There's...there's still an assessment? Brother-in-law, aren't you the boss? I saw you speak at your company's press conference. Code, that thing, it recognizes me, but I don't recognize it."
"What about BD?"
Jian Yao blinked repeatedly, his eyes sparkling. "Brother-in-law, speak like a human. What's BD?"
So this guy's practically illiterate. If he doesn't understand Business Development, then PMO, CRM, and Java are even less likely to understand them.
Qin Shu was puzzled. Jian Yan was such a good girl, how could her younger brother be so useless? He was too embarrassed to say it directly. He asked Jian Yao several questions about his job experience, but Jian Yao remained completely clueless. Qin Shu was truly exasperated. "Then tell me, what exactly can you do?"
"I can eat it. Is there any job tasting it? I'm willing to do it."
That face is so innocent and pure.
He's good for nothing but being a foodie—that's Jian Yao.
Qin Shu put his hands on his hips, not wanting to pay any attention to this brat.
Jian Yao probably realized the situation and stammered, "I can also drive a car and ride a motorcycle."
"At least it's still somewhat useful," Qin Shu said, rubbing his nose. "Then you can apply to be a Fire Legion rider."
Jian Yao's smile was incredibly strained. "I don't want to be a delivery driver. Brother-in-law, if you had a brother-in-law who delivered food, how would you feel?"
Qin Shu almost slapped her for being so picky. "Your sister used to be a food delivery driver, but she never looked down on herself."
At this moment, Ning Chao came over and said, "Brother Qin, President Huo is about to start a meeting."
Qin Shu glanced at Jian Yao and said, "You stay here until I finish my meeting." He then went to the front desk and asked Fang Yun to order takeout for him. It was so late, he wondered if the kid had eaten yet.
During the meeting, Qin Shu kept spacing out, thinking that he should ask Jian Yan out for a talk, otherwise what would it mean if he took in such a younger brother-in-law?
Huo Yunchao noticed Qin Shu's distraction and asked directly, "President Qin, what are your thoughts?"
Huh? Qin Shu didn't hear anything and scratched the back of his head, feeling extremely embarrassed.
The main topic of the meeting was how to intercept and divert users from celebrity endorsements that promote "better food." The meeting lasted quite a while, and it ended around the time we were leaving work.
"Old Qin, stay for a moment," Huo Yunchao called out. Once everyone had left, he asked, "Judging from your distracted state, is it related to Dai Dai's little best friend?"
Qin Shu said irritably, "Old Huo, give me some face, okay? Hey, want to go to the coffee shop together later?"
Good brothers, we'll start a business together, and we'll date together too.
Huo Yunchao draped his suit jacket over his arm, glanced at the time, and said, "I have other things to attend to. Please give my regards to Dai Dai." With that, he left the conference room.
Qin Shu returned to his workstation and saw Jian Yao playing Plants vs. Zombies on his phone; that's probably how he spent the afternoon.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see your sister."
Jian Yao followed behind, beaming, "Brother-in-law, it's enough for me to see you now. I can see my sister later when I've made something of myself!"
Even a street urchin like him has some sense of shame.

W Hotel Lightyear Cafe.
Qin Shu stood at the entrance of the coffee shop, overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
Actually, he quite liked the little shop in Jintong West Alley. He and Lao Huo had once scouted it out there, going to complain to Dai Dai but instead running into Jian Yan, who had pretended to be a family member under the sycamore tree in front of the shop. Now the coffee shop has become much more upscale, but it seems he and Jian Yan have lost touch.
And now, his mischievous younger brother has delivered himself to their doorstep.
As Xue Qiandai and Jian Yan were getting ready to leave work, they saw Qin Shu leading his younger brother past the door without going in.
"Hey, you're blocking our business." Xue Qiandai crossed her arms and teased Qin Shu.
Jian Yan was stunned when she saw her younger brother. His arrival was so sudden, and he was with Qin Shu. She felt uncomfortable and her face flushed upon seeing Qin Shu.
"Sister!" Jian Yao called out. From childhood to adulthood, his sister had always been someone he could only look up to but never reach.
"Why did you come? You didn't even tell me?" Jian Yan went to take his bag.
Jian Yao chuckled and scratched his head. "It's not heavy. I came here mainly to see my brother-in-law."
Jian Yan: "..." Is he really my younger brother? All he does is sabotage and play matchmaker.
"Come in and have a seat, have a cup of coffee or tea," Jian Yan extended an invitation to Qin Shu, showing the proper hospitality.
"No need, Jian Xiaoyan. I'll host a welcome dinner for my brother. You and Dai Dai can join us. Just tell me what kind of feast you'd like." Qin Shu was very generous; even if he couldn't win the heart of the beauty, he still loved her because of her.
Unexpectedly, Jian Yao didn't appreciate it. "Brother-in-law, that's not fair of you. If you wanted to have a fancy meal, why did you order takeout for me?"
Jian Yan glared at her younger brother. Jian Yao immediately turned into a turtle and retreated into his shell.
"Oh, by the way, Dai Dai, your husband Huo has something to do and asked me to say hello to you." Qin Shu changed the subject to avoid awkwardness.
With Huo Meiren absent, Xue Qiandai was also rather uninterested. Besides, she still harbored the intention of bringing Qin Shu together, so why should she become a third wheel? "I'll go home first. You all eat and drink well."
