After Selena finished speaking, she threw herself into my arms.
I was just in a really awkward situation, and I was about to have a second round with her when Aunt Jun called out from outside:
"Zheng Yang! We have a guest."
"ah?"
I gave Selena a helpless look, but Selena said, "We'll have plenty of time later."
I could only manage a wry smile.
I went out of the room and saw a bunch of people sitting inside.
This is my third uncle, that's my second uncle, let me introduce them to you.
All those who came this time were from the Liu family. Liu Xinying's father brewed tea and laid out melon seeds, peanuts, and fruit.
"Zheng Yang! Everyone wants to get to know you. Everyone's curious, Zheng Yang, what do you do?"
The one speaking was Liu's sixth son, who was also dressed in the most formal attire.
It seems their family is well-off.
Liu Xinying's father is the fourth child in his family. Only the second and sixth children are relatively well-off.
So he has a strong backbone; even though he's just a kid, he can still speak up.
After saying that, he wiped his watch and said, "If we can cooperate, we can exchange ideas and make money together."
Damn! The way he said that made it sound like I was begging him.
"Oh! I have some connections in the military, so I work as an engineer at a research institute."
"So you're just in charge of the technology?"
Well, now that he said that, I'm officially a technician.
"Oh dear! If that's the case, then we can't cooperate. Actually, I was thinking that we'll soon be relatives, so we should all make money together and keep the profits within the family!"
But if I don't have a say in the military, my good intentions really won't be fulfilled.
I just smiled and nodded.
"Really! Don't be fooled by the amount of money in your car; it's nothing to me."
When I heard that, I was really curious about what he did for a living.
However, Liu Xinying's father said, "His sixth uncle's family is in the real estate business."
Developers!
"He was mainly in charge of civil engineering."
I almost spat out my tea. No, he's just a construction worker, not even from a real estate company, and he's acting all high and mighty with me.
At this moment, Uncle Liu's family looked at Aunt Jun and the others, especially Selena.
His intoxicated look left me speechless.
"Oh! Don't let my background fool you, I work in civil engineering; several real estate companies rely on me."
He was speaking quite loudly, so he was probably speaking to Selena.
After he finished speaking, Aunt Jun and the others all looked over.
The sixth son stood up, smiling as he moved closer to Selena:
"Young lady! What country are you from?"
Selena clearly didn't like talking to him, and simply replied perfunctorily, "Messi!"
"So you came to Great Xia to study?"
"Work! Are you trying to ask me where I work, to compare whether my workplace is better than yours?"
Then let me tell you, I'm the president of Junyang Technology!
"Are you talking about that super-large military industrial enterprise?"
Oh my god? He actually knew that.
It seems that in his eyes, Junyang Technology is still a remarkable big company.
"Also, let me tell you, my boss is Zheng Yang and Aunt Jun."
"who?"
He turned his head and looked at me in shock.
I drank my tea without saying a word.
"Hey bro! Don't underestimate Zheng Yang, and don't think we're easy to pick up."
The sixth son stood there, his face contorted in embarrassment.
Seeing Aunt Jun and the others' smiling faces, she blushed and went back into the house.
"Fourth Brother! Your Xinying really found a good son-in-law; even their child is so amazing."
Liu Xinying's father chuckled awkwardly, "Sixth brother, don't say that, we're not even married yet!"
Liu Laosan: "Lao Si! You can't say that. It's almost New Year's, getting married is just a formality."
"My dear nephew! You're a commander in the army now. If someone were to get in, wouldn't that be a piece of cake?"
What does that mean? Are they trying to squeeze more people into the army?
"No, the military has its own procedures and standards for selecting personnel, and I can't get them to put in extra people."
“This…” The third brother looked at the eldest and second eldest brothers.
Liu Xinying's father was somewhat dissatisfied: "Third brother! You're making Zheng Yang make a mistake. Even if he agrees, I won't."
"Fourth brother! What are you saying? We're all family, what's wrong with helping out a little? Besides, would I ever let him down?"
"Does that child not deserve such a small courtesy from you?"
Seeing that an argument was about to break out, I said, "If my relatives want to do something, I have to do it."
Before Liu Laosan could even open his mouth to speak, I added, "But I also have to see if he's cut out for it."
My point is very clear: if you want to join the army but weren't even selected, then you're not cut out for it.
"If Uncle thinks your son is capable, I can send someone to investigate him right now. If we follow the normal procedures, I can get him into the army immediately."
"this……"
Liu Laosan looked like he had no idea what to do.
Liu Xinying's father: "This is not something an ordinary person can do. But you should know what kind of person your son is. He can't get over the cigarette burns on his arm."
Liu Laosan was speechless.
In this situation, even if other people want my help, I can't bring myself to ask.
I can give them a chance, but they have to seize it themselves.
Liu Xinying also said from the side: "Uncles and elders! As the old saying goes, helping one hungry person will not help a hundred full ones."
If his own child isn't cut out for it, Zheng Yang could force them in, but they'd eventually be kicked out.
Zheng Yang would never violate military discipline for him, and likewise, Zheng Yang would never suffer a loss for him, and neither would I.
I can't let Zheng Yang feel that his father contacted me just to cause trouble.
