Chen Zhe suddenly received a call from Wang Qianqian.
The other party went through a lot of roundabout talk before finally revealing the purpose of the call.
It turned out that she wanted to ask Chen Zhe to take in her younger brother.
"Chen Zhe, please. My mom keeps asking me to find a job for my brother. I've tried to refuse many times, but I can't. I can't possibly introduce him to my place for work, so I can only ask you for help. Just find him a job as a security guard or waiter."
Chen Zhe didn't mind helping her with this small favor.
So he readily agreed.
At 5 p.m., Wang Qianqian's younger brother, Wang Yu, arrived. He had dyed his hair a yellowish-brown color and had a pierced left ear with several earrings.
He was 1.78 meters tall and weighed only about 115 pounds. He was very thin, had a tattoo on his right arm, was chewing gum, and was wearing a white t-shirt and black wide-leg pants.
His eyes darted around, looking left and right in Chen Zhe's office.
Chen Zhe glanced at his ID card, then smiled and said, "18 years old?"
"Um."
Despite his flamboyant appearance, his replies were surprisingly short. He wasn't shy; rather, he was what young people nowadays call "aloof."
Chen Zhe put his ID card aside.
Then he asked, "Aren't you planning to study anymore?"
"Poor grades, can't concentrate on learning."
Wang Yu's reply was as simple as ever; for him, poor grades didn't seem to be anything shameful.
"Understood. Have you had any work experience before?"
"No."
Chen Zhe felt that this conversation was not going to continue. If an ordinary person came for an interview with this attitude, he would not pay attention to them. However, Wang Qianqian was an acquaintance and was recommended by an acquaintance, so he still needed to take care of her.
He offered Wang Yu a cigarette.
"Shouldn't you smoke?"
Wang Yu's eyes lit up when he saw the cigarette, and then he casually took it.
Chen Zhe stood up and lit it for him himself.
As he moved closer, he also shortened the distance between the two of them.
Is this your first time visiting the East China Sea?
Wang Yu exhaled a smoke ring.
His tone was more relaxed than before.
"Yes, this is my first time here. I used to live in my hometown. Donghai is much bigger than our boss."
"Hehe, it's a big city after all. How are you getting used to it?"
Chen Zhe also lit a cigarette and stood with him to chat.
"It's alright. You can see a lot of places on your phone. I used to have a friend who worked in the East China Sea area."
After smoking Chen Zhe's cigarette, he became noticeably more talkative.
"That's great! What does your friend do?"
“He works in a factory and earns more than 7,000 yuan a month. Last year, he wanted to invite me to come with him, but then he said they wouldn’t accept me because I have tattoos.”
"Oh, some factories have this rule."
"Actually, I don't want to go. Doing assembly line work all day long, how much money can I earn? There's no future in it."
Chen Zhe smiled.
"So what kind of job are you looking for?"
"I haven't decided yet, but I definitely won't go into manufacturing."
"Have you looked for jobs online before?"
How did you know?
"I guessed."
"That's right. I looked for a few online. I'm looking for something related to the internet, like a game streamer. I knew someone who was a game streamer before. He could earn tens of thousands of yuan a month, making money while playing games. That kind of job is right for me."
"Hmm, you're right. So why didn't you go later?"
"You think it's that easy? If I could, I would have gone long ago. They have to play all night, and it really tests their skills and eloquence. Some of them even take on proxy play jobs. Once they start, they can stay up for several nights without sleeping. I heard that one of my friends died of overwork. I'm not going."
Wang Yu had the impetuousness typical of young people venturing into society, and he wasn't very polite in his speech.
"So you're saying you haven't really figured out what you want to do? Do you even know what you're supposed to do here with me?"
"My sister suggested I come work as a security guard or waiter, but to be honest, I don't want to. She earns so much money, she should be a supervisor or manager or something, right? Why would she want me to be a waiter? Do you think I'm the kind of person who's suited to be a waiter?"
"Hehe, doesn't seem like it."
"See, you also think I don't seem like it, right? Then could you help me find a respectable job, preferably one that requires little work but pays well and allows me to manage a few people?"
"Hehe, brother, I'd love to do the kind of work you're talking about, but there aren't any jobs like that around here."
Wang Yu frowned. "Seriously? This was my sister's personal instruction. You can't even handle this simple request?"
Wang Qianqian didn't explain things clearly to her younger brother. She probably didn't tell her family what she did for a living, so her family always thought she was in management at some company.
No wonder her younger brother always had a bit of arrogance about getting in through connections when he came over.
It turns out that he had a preconceived notion that his sister was the manager and that he was her subordinate.
"There's nothing I can do. My position isn't high, and we don't have many openings right now. We might still be hiring bar servers or security guards."
"Tsk! I didn't come here to do this kind of work. What future is there in being a security guard or a waiter? There's no career advancement at all. Why don't you call my sister? I can't do this kind of work!"
Wang Yu stubbed out his cigarette, his expression changing rapidly, from aloofness to eloquent speech, and now to impatience.
Chen Zhe won't call Wang Qianqian, at least not now.
If someone asks you for a favor and you call them for every problem, it means you're not capable.
"Brother, don't be in such a hurry. Who told you that being a security guard or a waiter has no future? I used to be a waiter myself."
The services provided by waiters and massage therapists are similar, which is why Chen Zhe said that.
He originally thought this would spark Wang Yu's ambition, but he underestimated the young man's unrealistic expectations.
Wang Yu crossed his arms and snorted coldly; "Heh, to be honest, you're still my sister's subordinate. I don't want to become like you. I'm sure I'll achieve great things in the future. This kind of low-starting-point job is a waste of my time. If I have to do this kind of job, I'd rather stay at home and lie down."
After he finished speaking, he added one more sentence.
"Sorry, I'm a very straightforward person. That's just my personality. I don't flatter or fawn over people. You're just a small manager. When I was at home, I would go drinking with my buddies. One of my buddies' dads owned several factories, and I would talk to him like that. He didn't feel uncomfortable, and you probably won't feel uncomfortable either, right?"
Chen Zhe smiled to himself, somewhat speechless.
"So, if you call your sister, what kind of position do you think she'll offer you?"
"At least I should be like you. Don't think I don't know anything. I asked my sister, and she earns 80,000 to 90,000 yuan a month. I've looked into it, and with that kind of income, she's at least a mid-to-upper management level in Donghai. Someone like you probably only earns 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month. There's probably a difference of several levels between you. Sorry, I'm being blunt, but that's the truth, right?"
"Okay, then you try playing one."
"I'll hit them if I want to!"
Wang Yu picked up his phone and called his sister, Wang Qianqian.
The call was answered after a few rings; it seemed they were also waiting for his message.
The call was on speakerphone.
Wang Qianqian's voice came through: "Xiaoyu, have you arranged your work yet?"
"Sister, didn't you explain this to your subordinate? I just heard him say that he wants me to be a security guard or a waiter. I won't do that kind of job. I can find those jobs anywhere else. Since you asked me to come here, I definitely need a better job. I don't have high demands. Just arrange a position for me that is the same as his."
Wang Qianqian, who was on the other side, was stunned.
Then I realized what was happening.
"Are you crazy? We already agreed that I would arrange a waiter or security guard job for you here, and you agreed to that, didn't you?"
"What do you mean by default? I thought you were joking. You're a senior manager of a company, making 80,000 or 90,000 yuan a month, and you're letting your brother do a job that only pays a few thousand yuan? I think you're the one who's crazy."
Wang Qianqian was furious.
"So what do you think you can do? You didn't even finish high school, do you think you can find a good job?"
Wang Yu simply wouldn't listen to her.
"You finished high school? Aren't you the same as me? You can be a senior manager, so why can't I?"
"When...when did I tell you I was a manager?"
"So what do you do? You earn 80,000 or 90,000 yuan a month. If you're not a manager, what can you do? Wait! Don't tell me you're a prostitute!"
Wang Yu really speaks without thinking, and he doesn't show any politeness to his sister at all.
Wang Qianqian on the other side seemed a bit insecure, and it seemed difficult to fool her.
Wang Yu continued, "Or are you the boss's mistress? I've suspected it before, but you've never explained it in detail. If that's the case, then I'll have to tell Mom."
"No, I'm not..."
"Then tell me, what's your position in this company? Why can't you even give me a decent job?"
Chen Zhe didn't want to interrupt, but he felt that if he continued, Wang Qianqian would be exposed. She didn't want her family to know that she was a technician, so he decided to help her this time.
"Secretary Wang, it's me, Xiao Chen. I was just talking to your brother. He might have some misunderstandings about this job. Let me explain it to him again."
When Wang Qianqian across from him heard Chen Zhe call her Secretary Wang and refer to himself as Xiao Chen, she was stunned. Then she realized that Chen Zhe was helping her, so she quickly replied.
"Oh, okay, then you can make the arrangements. If you can't, then just leave it at that. That's all for now. I'm a bit busy right now."
Wang Qianqian hurriedly hung up the phone and left Wang Yu to Chen Zhe.
Wang Yu was also somewhat bewildered.
"A secretary? My sister is a secretary?"
"Hehe, yes, she's the boss's secretary."
"Is your boss male or female?"
"It's a woman, what's wrong?"
"Oh, it's alright. I thought it was one of those secretaries."
"Haha, bro, isn't it a bit inappropriate to talk about your sister like that?"
“It’s because she never talked about her job. Our family had been suspicious for a long time. Some neighbors said she was a prostitute, otherwise she couldn’t earn so much money. At first, my mother didn’t believe it, but as more and more people said it, we started to think so too.”
"No, bro, you probably don't know that secretaries need to keep things confidential, otherwise what kind of secretary would they be?"
"This has to be kept secret?"
Wang Yu was a little confused.
"Of course. Secretaries in other companies might not need to keep secrets, but we run a club. There are many things involved in clubs, and the secretary is the person closest to the boss. She knows a lot of things, so if she tells others casually, there might be problems."
"What's the problem?"
"Are you genuinely unaware or pretending? Those who run these clubs have connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, don't you think?"
Chen Zhe took a step closer to him, his words carrying a hint of intimidation.
Wang Yu was indeed swayed by this, and became much quieter.
