Chen Zhe finally understood that he would never listen to Wang Yu's grand principles and talk about hard work, because Wang Yu was not old enough and had not experienced the harsh realities of society.
They have blind self-confidence and contempt for the rules of society, always believing that they are the protagonist and can change everything.
These young people often have one thing in common: they are ambitious but lack practical skills. At the same time, they also have a lot in common: they have a deep belief in the dark rules and social connections.
So Chen Zhe deliberately said that the boss had connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles, hoping that this statement would put him in a better position.
“Secretary Chen has many difficulties. Her job is one that she can’t discuss with her family. Just think about it, if she accidentally tells you the boss’s secret, and the boss finds out, he might send a few people to your house…”
Chen Zhe didn't continue speaking, and Wang Yu was already swallowing hard.
"She didn't tell us anything, we know nothing!"
Wang Yu has already started to distance himself from the relationship. He was trying to use connections, thinking that his sister was very capable and could definitely arrange a better job for him.
But now he's a little afraid of getting involved with his sister.
"Haha, I know. From your conversation just now, I also know that your sister didn't say anything, so this makes sense. Although Secretary Wang is the boss's favorite and can earn a lot of money, it's difficult for her to arrange a specific position for you. Of course, I can give Secretary Wang face and arrange a better job for you, but there's no way right now. Everyone is already taken. But I can assure you that if a good position becomes available in the future, I will think of you first."
Chen Zhe could just blurt out "drawing a pie in the sky" without any qualms, without feeling any guilt whatsoever.
Wang Yu was still somewhat hesitant.
"You really want me to be a waiter? Honestly, I can't do it."
"Brother, don't underestimate our waiters. If you get enough tips, you can easily make tens of thousands of yuan a month. You're handsome and articulate, I believe you can do it."
"Really? Tens of thousands of yuan a month? Don't waiters only make a few thousand?"
Wang Yu was somewhat surprised.
"A regular waiter earns a few thousand yuan, but a good waiter can earn tens of thousands of yuan. We have a base salary, plus commission on drinks and sales. As long as you work hard, your salary will not be low."
Hearing that he could earn tens of thousands of yuan in salary, Wang Yu was tempted.
But after being tempted, I began to doubt my own abilities.
After all, he wasn't a good student growing up, so a waiter who can earn tens of thousands of yuan must be someone who does a very good job, right?
"I...may not be able to do it."
"What are you afraid of? I'll help you. I have a good relationship with Secretary Wang, so you can rest assured."
Hearing Chen Zhe's words, Wang Yu felt somewhat relieved, and his tone no longer held the contempt he had shown earlier.
"Okay, I'll do it then, thanks bro."
"No need, no need, it's not a big deal. I'll have them register you in a bit. But I need to tell you in advance that although this job can earn money, it requires some hard work. I can't arrange the kind of easy, high-paying job you just mentioned."
The job was easy and paid well, but Wang Yu himself realized that such a job was impossible. He had just wanted to use his sister's position to get a better job, but now that he realized her position couldn't help him much, he lost his arrogance.
"Yes, I understand. I was just joking."
"Hehe, that's good. Keep up the good work, I have faith in you."
"Okay, thank you, brother."
Wang Yu left.
After closing the door, Chen Zhe smiled and shook his head. There was no need for him to keep someone like Wang Yu around.
The reason he chose to help him was out of consideration for Wang Qianqian. Since he had agreed to help Wang Qianqian, he had to do it well. If he didn't do it well, Wang Qianqian might have a problem with him in the future. It wasn't that he was afraid of having a bad relationship with Wang Qianqian; he just felt it was unnecessary to create another problem.
Who knows, Wang Qianqian might be of use to him in the future. When someone asks him for a favor, it's like he's doing him a favor. Favors are sometimes hard to come by; if handled poorly, they can cause resentment, but if handled well, they can be a kindness.
About ten minutes later.
Wang Qianqian called.
"Thank you, Chen Zhe. My brother just said he's willing to stay and work for you. I'm sorry for putting you in a difficult position earlier. That's just how my brother is. Please forgive him if he offended you in any way."
"It's alright, your brother isn't a bad person, he's just a bit young."
"Thank goodness it was you. I overheard him telling me earlier. Thank you for covering up this lie for me. To be honest, when I went home this time, my mom kept interrogating me, saying really nasty things, asking if I was... if I was a prostitute..."
"Sisi, you don't need to worry about this. You know in your heart that you're not like that, and that's enough."
"Of course I know, but their words still hurt me. My mom insisted that I bring my brother out. Actually, they wanted to find out what I do through my brother. If they really find out that I'm a technician, they'll definitely talk about me."
Chen Zhe nodded. It's true that being a technician makes one vulnerable to discrimination.
Despite their high income, they are actually looked down upon within the professional hierarchy.
They're not even as good as cleaners, security guards, or food delivery workers.
Wang Qianqian's words were very sincere.
"Thank you, Chen Zhe. I will always remember your help today. If you ever need my help in the future, please let me know. I will definitely help you!"
"We're all friends and colleagues, it's okay."
The two chatted for a few more minutes before Wang Qianqian reluctantly hung up.
After the call ended, another call came in.
"Brother, we found out. The person who hit Gu Jingyan was indeed arranged by Cao Xue. We followed her all day and found that she met with someone. We recognize that person; it's the driver who hit Gu Jingyan."
Chen Zhe nodded.
Ever since he appointed Gu Jingyan as general manager, he has been sending people to protect Gu Jingyan.
Cao Xue was able to harm Gu Jingyan once, so of course she would harm him a second time. This time it was a bit dangerous because the people she sent were not professional bodyguards, but Zhang Kai and his taxi brothers.
That's why Gu Jingyan had an accident, but fortunately he's still alive.
"I understand, Brother Zhang. Tell the brothers to be careful and not let that person find out. Your safety is the most important thing to me."
Zhang felt a warmth in his heart.
Then he said casually, "Brother, don't worry, we'll be careful. We're taxi drivers, and few people will suspect that we're following someone. Even if they see someone, they'll just think we're waiting for passengers."
"Okay, that's good. By the way, Brother Zhang, could you treat everyone to a meal for me later? I'm too busy with work to join them."
"Okay, no problem!"
Chen Zhe hung up the phone and then transferred 80,000 yuan to Zhang Kai.
Zhang Kai immediately sent a voice message.
“Brother, there’s no need to spend money. How much can a meal cost? I can take care of everything. I can’t always let you spend money. You give me tens of thousands every month. I really feel guilty taking so much money from you.”
“Brother Zhang, if we’re brothers, don’t say things like that. The things I ask you to do are all a bit dangerous. Sometimes you’ve even abandoned your jobs to get here. If we’re talking about feeling guilty, then it should be me.”
"No... no, brother, everyone is working for you voluntarily, don't overthink it."
"Alright, Brother Zhang, you don't need to say so much. Use this money to treat them to a meal, and then give each of them a red envelope. If you don't accept it, I won't dare ask you guys for help next time."
"Okay then, thanks bro!"
In the end, Zhang Kai still accepted the money. Chen Zhe was very clear about the difference. No matter how good the relationship was, if you asked someone for help, you had to give them something sincere. Money was the best way to maintain brotherhood.
These people help me gather information and carry out some plans for me. They go through a lot of trouble and sometimes even take risks. It's no wonder they treat me well.
He also took some time to call Wang De and Zhao Rui, who was abroad.
Wang De is now very adept at managing the Zhe Shang Zhe supermarket, and the supermarket's sales are booming.
Zhao Rui has his own projects overseas, and he also collaborates with Chen Zhe and his team on the sale of air conditioners. Moreover, it's not just air conditioners; other home appliances are also starting to be shipped there.
Zhao Rui meant that they were building a large home appliance market over there.
Chen Zhe agreed and called Luo Guifang. Luo Guifang was very supportive of him and also felt that the market there was huge.
After making several calls, Chen Zhe was about to put down his phone and rest for a bit, since he still had to work tonight.
But then a message popped up on my phone.
How have you been lately?
Chen Zhe was slightly stunned when he saw the message from Xie Yuhan. Since he sent Xie Yuhan back to the Taoist temple last time, the two of them had not been in contact. This lack of contact seemed to be a tacit understanding. Chen Zhe had gotten used to it, but he did not expect that seeing Xie Yuhan's message again would still stir up his emotions.
After hesitating for a moment, he still picked up his phone.
"I'm fine, how are you?"
