The next morning, Xue Wangjun took Xue Mingliang to the factory.

"This is our factory's new plumber, and he's also my elder brother. He will work with you guys from now on. Please take good care of him."

When the workers heard that he was Xue Wangjun's relative, they immediately came up to Xue Mingliang and shook hands with him in a flattering manner.

Xue Mingliang felt warm inside and thought these people were really polite.

"Old Third, do you have any staff dormitories here?"

Xue Wangjun looked at him awkwardly, "Yes, there is, but the conditions are very ordinary. I'm afraid you won't be able to get used to it."

"What's so hard about living here?" Xue Mingliang waved his hand. "Do you think I can be picky now?"

"Brother, that's not the case. There are too many people in that dormitory, and it's inconvenient for you to do anything."

Xue Wangjun really wanted Xue Mingliang to live with him, but Xue Mingliang refused.

"Okay, stop trying to persuade me. I can live in the dormitory by myself. You have already arranged a job for me, so how can I ask you to arrange a place for me to live? I would feel embarrassed to live in your house without paying rent."

“Brother, you really are… When did you become so distant with me!” Xue Wangjun shook his head helplessly and had to take him to the staff dormitory.

Just as Xue Wangjun said, the staff dormitory is indeed very makeshift, just a small two-story building built next to the factory building.

Xue Wangjun took a look at the surroundings and shook his head. "Brother, I told you to live in my house. Can't you live here for a while and then I'll find you a new house?"

Xue Mingliang didn't think this place was bad. Instead, he just picked an empty bed and lay down.

"No, that's it! I think it's pretty good."

“Brother——”

Xue Wangjun tried to persuade him earnestly, but Xue Mingliang refused firmly, which made Xue Wangjun lose first.

"Then I'll go buy you some more things so you can live more comfortably."

"No need, it's fine just like this. It's not like I'm here to enjoy myself."

"Brother, you are really..."

Xue Wangjun left, looking back every few steps. As soon as he left, Xue Mingliang fell to the ground, looking at the broken ceiling and sighed.

He was embarrassed to continue living in the Xue family. Normally, he was the eldest brother that his younger brothers and sisters relied on. Suddenly, he had to rely on Xue Wangjun for work and a place to live, which made him feel ashamed. He wished he could see Xue Wangjun less.

Unexpectedly, the little kid has grown up to be a big boss. He also has to work hard so as not to hold Xue Wangjun back.

Xu Suzhen and Jiang Qiuyu both suggested letting Xue Mingliang live at home. After knowing that he insisted on living in the dormitory, they both said that Xue Mingliang knew his limits.

After that, Xue Mingliang was often invited to his home for dinner. Whenever the Xue family celebrated an important festival or entertained guests, Xue Mingliang would be invited.

The workers were very polite to him because of the relationship between Xue Mingliang and Xue Wangjun, and they greeted him with a smile when he came in and out. Until one day, Xue Mingliang ran into the workers smoking at the back of the factory, and they talked about his relationship with Xue Wangjun with disdain in their words.

"Tsk, our factory doesn't need a plumber, I can do that job by myself."

"That's right. He relies on being the boss's brother. Every time he comes home from work, he lies in bed and doesn't say a word all night long."

"I asked him to play cards several times but he ignored me. What's so arrogant about him?"

"They both have the surname Xue. Our boss is a big boss, and he is just a worker who depends on the boss for his livelihood. Don't you understand the difference?"

Xue Mingliang clenched his fists. If it were before, he would have rushed up and punched each of them.

But now it’s no longer possible. If he fights with them, he won’t be able to continue this job.

Even if it is to keep this job, he has to swallow his anger.”

But he was not one to suffer in silence, and when he turned around he saw Xue Wangjun, and he deliberately greeted Xue Wangjun.

Xue Wangjun walked over to greet him with a smile, and sure enough, he saw those people hiding behind the factory building smoking.

Xue Wangjun's expression immediately changed, and he shouted, "Who allowed you to smoke here? Did I ever tell you not to smoke in the factory?"

"Boss, we were wrong. We pinched it immediately."

A few workers laughed, put out their cigarettes, and immediately went back to the factory to work.

When passing by Xue Mingliang, he glared at him fiercely.

You are the only one who is meddling in other people's affairs!

Those people held a grudge against Xue Mingliang, but Xue Mingliang was not afraid.

Just hold a grudge, hold a grudge as much as you can.

Gradually, more and more people in the factory tried to trip up Xue Mingliang, either overtly or covertly.

But Xue Mingliang didn't care and was determined to help Xue Wangjun run the factory.

Xue Wangjun had promised him privately that if the factory performed better in the future, he would be given a portion of the shares.

Or we can open a second factory and let him be the director.

With this belief, Xue Mingliang worked day and night, and was often ridiculed by others, saying, "You are not the factory director, but you have the factory director's mind. People who don't know would think that this factory belongs to him!"

Xue Mingliang pretended not to hear and helped Xue Wangjun negotiate two big deals in succession.

"Brother, I feel much more relaxed after you came." Xue Wangjun was drunk, and patted Xue Mingliang on the shoulder and said with emotion, "You can handle the trivial matters in the factory, and you can also handle social events with me. My dear brother, why didn't you come to me earlier? I can save myself from having to find a suitable person to help me!"

Xue Mingliang was very happy to hear this and took the initiative to open the car door for him.

A boss who had just had dinner with them was also helped out by his drunken subordinates. Seeing that Xue Wangjun had not left yet, he put his arm around Xue Wangjun's shoulders and praised Xue Mingliang.

"You are such an amazing driver. You take such good care of me. Even my family members don't take such good care of me!"

Xue Mingliang's smile froze. He wished Xue Wangjun could retort at this time that he was not a driver, but his elder brother.

But Xue Wangjun didn't. He was so drunk that he didn't know what day it was.

After seeing the boss off, Xue Mingliang was still thinking about this matter in his mind.

Why didn't Xue Wangjun refute it? Did he really just regard him as a driver?

After sending Xue Wangjun home, Xue Mingliang wanted to leave, but was forcibly dragged in by Xu Suzhen for a midnight snack.

"Nephew, come in and have a midnight snack before you leave. It's so late, you'll fall asleep driving on an empty stomach."

Xu Suzhen made a bowl of hometown fried noodles for Xue Wangjun, which made Xue Mingliang's nose sore after eating it.

"Aunt, your noodles taste like my mom's."

"Really? If you like it, come often and I'll cook it for you."

Xu Suzhen was very happy and opened the refrigerator to find the leftover soup from the evening to heat up for him.

"Wait a moment, don't eat so quickly, there's a bowl here for you to drink from."

After Jiang Qiuyi finished taking care of Xue Wangjun, she went downstairs and saw Xue Mingliang eating voraciously. She also saw Xu Suzhen chattering and pushing a bunch of food in front of him. She said with a smile, "Mom, you must be full after eating so much in one night. Let big brother stay at home tonight and go to the factory together tomorrow. We can still eat tomorrow morning."

"That's fine."

Xu Suzhen wished this were the case, but she didn't dare to say anything because she was afraid that Jiang Qiuyu would be unhappy.

But Jiang Qiuyu didn't say anything, but Xue Mingliang became embarrassed.
