"Don't be afraid, my brother always likes to talk tough, but he wouldn't even dare to step on an ant." Sweetie smiled reassuringly, but kicked him hard under the table.
Zhu Zi quickly suppressed the fierce look on her face and cooperated, saying, "I was just joking."
Tsumabuki Minami and her cousin both breathed a sigh of relief; they were terrified.
My cousin scolded me, "Don't joke around like that outside anymore. If someone with ulterior motives hears you, you'll be in big trouble. You weren't joking about the house and dowry you mentioned earlier, were you?"
"no."
Zhu Zi shook her head.
"That's good. Your parents are thoughtful. They prepared a substantial fortune for you long ago. But Xiao Zhu, it's not good for a grown man like you not to work. Even if your family is rich, you still need to find a job. Don't just stay at home all day. You'll ruin yourself if you do that. What's your educational background?"
Overwhelmed by her cousin's enthusiasm, Zhu Zi honestly replied, "Fourth grade."
Actually, he hadn't even finished fourth grade; he only attended for one semester before getting into a fight with the principal and dropping out.
The air fell silent again, broken only by the sound of everyone chewing their food.
My cousin's smile froze as she looked at Zhu Zi with pity. He's such a handsome young man, why doesn't he study properly?
Sigh, no wonder he doesn't go to work. He didn't even finish elementary school, what kind of job can he find?
Nobody wants to be a gatekeeper!
"I'll help you make some connections and see if there are any suitable jobs for you. Xiao Zhu, you can go to night school to further your studies. Now is the time to look out for diplomas. Without a diploma, you can't get anywhere. If you want to work in an office, you must have a university diploma. A high school diploma won't be enough. If you can study for a university diploma on your own, finding a job won't be a problem. Leave it to me."
My cousin tried her best to persuade Zhu Zi to attend night school to study for a college diploma; she was genuinely worried about Zhu Zi.
Although he is strangely handsome, looks can't put food on the table. What girl would want to marry an unemployed bum who doesn't do any proper work? There's no sense of security in that.
As for Zhu Zi's statement that he didn't plan to get married, his cousin didn't take it to heart. She thought that Zhu Zi was just too insecure, so he deliberately used this excuse to cover up his insecurity.
"I'll help you get in touch with night school. I know a mahjong buddy whose eldest son is the principal of a night school. You can go anytime, and the tuition isn't expensive. What major are you interested in? Men shouldn't study accounting; they need to learn some technical skills. IT is quite in demand right now. How about you study computer science? It's easy to find a job there..."
My cousin, enjoying herself all by herself, didn't need anyone's help. She decided on the school and major for him and immediately called her mahjong partner, forgetting to eat. Her enthusiasm was so intense that no one could refuse.
Zhu Zi was completely taken aback by the barrage of words, his head throbbing with pain. By the time he came to his senses, his cousin had already made the call and was smiling as she said to him, "I've arranged everything for you. Go register tomorrow. The night school is on the third floor of No. 208 Ping'an Avenue. It's called Lantian Vocational Technical School. Just go directly to Principal Xuan, and he'll arrange it for you."
The air fell silent again, this time even the sound of chewing was gone.
Everyone stared at their cousin in astonishment, then silently gave her a thumbs up.
Their efficiency is much faster than that of the relevant departments.
Zhu Zi swallowed hard, racking his brains for a long time before finally sorting out his thoughts. He wanted to refuse, as he hated going to school the most, but seeing his cousin's warm and kind smile, the words of refusal stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.
Finally, almost as if possessed, he nodded and said, "Okay!"
He added, "Thank you."
Ye Qingqing and Tian Tian looked at each other, their eyes practically bulging out of their sockets, staring at Zhu Zi in disbelief.
Could it be that it's possessed by a ghost?
