Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 115: Not Willing to be an Ordinary Employee
Xu Yang and his companions left the restaurant.

On the ride home with Zhao Hai, Xu Yang asked, “Dad, have you thought about finding someone else?”

It was just an offhand question, but Zhao Yuxin’s eyes lit up, “Dad, I think you really could find someone new. That way, someone would take care of you, and I’d feel at ease. Plus, it would completely crush Liu Yujuan’s fantasies.”

Zhao Hai was caught between laughter and tears, “You two needn’t fuss over my affairs. After all these years, I feel quite content being alone, and I’ve gotten used to it. As for Liu Yujuan, I’m not senile enough to consider getting back together with her. I met her today because I sensed what she was hoping for and wanted to put an end to it.”

Xu Yang said, “Dad, I really think you should consider it. Recently, when I visited the company, I overheard the employees gossiping that the finance manager seems quite interested in you.”

Zhao Hai’s expression changed slightly, “Xu Yang, what nonsense are you talking about? Such things can be said in private, but if others overheard, how could I show my face to anyone?”

Xu Yang smiled and said, “Dad, I’m not talking nonsense. The employees seemed very serious when they mentioned it. I even asked a few of them, and it appears to be true.”

Zhao Yuxin’s eyes blazed with the flames of gossip, and she excitedly asked, “Husband, is it true? The finance department manager is really interested in Dad? What’s her name, and what is she like? How old is she and where is she from?”

Xu Yang said, “The finance manager is named Zhou Ruyan. I’ve met her, and it seems she’s in her mid-thirties. According to the employees, she hasn’t found the right person and has remained single. They said she’s truly a high-quality ‘leftover woman’ and is interested in our dad. The employees claim it’s true, but as for the details, I’m not sure. Yu Xin, if you have time, you could go to the company and have a chat with Zhou Ruyan to find out more.”

Zhao Yuxin nodded repeatedly, “Mm, I’ll find time to visit the company and have a talk with this finance department manager.”

Zhao Hai’s face changed again as he hurriedly said, “Yuxin, don’t be rash. If you cause a misunderstanding, how will I be able to face anyone?”

Zhao Yuxin said with a grin, “Dad, don’t worry, I won’t be reckless. I know how to handle situations with tact, I won’t embarrass you.”

Zhao Hai turned to Xu Yang, “Xu Yang, can you please keep Yuxin in line? I can’t control her.”

Xu Yang laughed and said, “Dad, I trust Yuxin. She’s very measured in her actions. Besides, if there is really a mutual interest and you both come together, it would be a good thing.”

“You two…” Zhao Hai did not know what else to say.

…

Liu Yujuan returned home.

Yang Tiancheng and his son had just come back from eating dinner outside.

That afternoon, Liu Yujuan had told them she was meeting a friend for dinner to discuss something and would not be cooking at home.

Naturally, Yang Tiancheng and his son ate out.

“Yujuan, how was the shop today?” Yang Tiancheng did not ask who Liu Yujuan had met for dinner or what they had discussed.

Such occurrences were too common for Liu Yujuan, and there was no need to ask.

It had happened many times before.

In any case, as long as Liu Yujuan spent most of her time cooking at home, it did not matter if she didn’t do so every evening.

When Liu Yujuan did not cook, father and son would dine out at a restaurant, which was quite nice.

“It’s the same old situation; there were only three tables of customers at lunch, spending a total of seven hundred thirty-five yuan,” Liu Yujuan said with a bitter expression.

“Looks like it’s really the end,” Yang Tiancheng sighed helplessly, feeling profoundly powerless.

If it were a competition with another hotpot restaurant, he could still think of some strategies.

But competing with this company, he really couldn’t come up with any ideas.

The owner refused to raise salaries, so naturally, there could be no training to motivate the staff to provide exceptional service.

Unable to offer exceptional service, they were no match for the competition.

This was an unsolvable problem.

“It’s all Xu Yang’s fault. If not for him, we wouldn’t be in this situation,” Yang Jingsheng uttered these words of resentment once again.

“There’s no need to say that,” Tian Cheng waved his hand and sat on the sofa.

Just at that moment, Yu Lu came back.

Since her mother hadn’t cooked, she had eaten outside before returning home.

“Yu Lu, I called Guang Lei today and asked him to arrange a job for me at Jia Sheng Media. He said he could do that, but he could only make me a regular employee. Do you think you could talk to him and get me a leadership position, even a small one?”

Jing Sheng swallowed his pride today and called Guang Lei to beg for a job.

Although Guang Lei didn’t refuse, he said he could only arrange a regular job for Jing Sheng to start from the ground up, with the possibility of promotion in the future.

Naturally, Jing Sheng wasn’t happy about being just a regular employee.

A regular employee is doomed to a life of hard labor.

Being a small leader, at the very least, means you can assign work to others, giving you much more freedom with your time.

As for the chance of future promotion, who knows how long that would take.

That kind of pie in the sky, unless it was offered by his father, was something he didn’t believe in.

It must be said that although he lacked capability, he wasn’t someone who could be easily fooled by anyone.

“If he has already said that, even if I talk to him, it won’t make any difference,” Yu Xin certainly didn’t want to say anything.

“Yu Lu, Guang Lei likes you and pursues you. If you talk to him, it must make a difference, it just depends on whether you’re willing to speak up or not,” Jing Sheng said, somewhat discontentedly.

“It’s useless; I’m a bit tired, I’ll go back to my room first.”

Yu Lu went back to her room.

“Dad, look at her, now that she’s become a vice president, she thinks she’s too good to lend a hand, not even willing to help me,” Jing Sheng complained again.

“Enough, maybe she really has her difficulties. Don’t be so harsh with your words,” Tian Cheng gestured with a wave of his hand.

“What difficulties could she have? It’s just a matter of saying a word, she just doesn’t want to help,” Jing Sheng grumbled discontentedly.

“If she doesn’t want to help then let it be. You’re not young anymore, you should find your own way to stand on your feet, and not always rely on others. If you’re unwilling to be a regular employee at Jia Sheng Media, then go find a job by yourself,” Tian Cheng said.

“Finding a job by myself would still mean being a regular employee,” Jing Sheng’s expression fell.

“Then go work for Jia Sheng Media,” Tian Cheng said.

“I won’t go. Yu Lu is a vice president at Jia Sheng Media and I’d just be a regular employee, not even a minor leader; I’d be laughed to death,” Jing Sheng said.

“Then what do you plan to do, just not work at all?” Tian Cheng frowned.

If his son didn’t work, his pressure would greatly increase.

He knew very well that his son’s monthly expenses were not insignificant.

Not working meant draining the family resources.

Having a job, while the salary was often insufficient, at least meant there was some income.

He wouldn’t have to worry too much.

Not working was a different matter altogether and led to even more idleness and greater expenses every day.

“Dad, how about I wait until your situation is more stable? When you leave Meiwei Group and look for a new job, there’s still hope you could find a position like vice president. Then you can arrange a small leadership role for me,” Jing Sheng said.

“You…” Tian Cheng, although very disappointed in his son, truly loved him in his heart and couldn’t bring himself to speak harshly or to pressure Jing Sheng.
