Chapter 314
Last year, Zhao Hongshuo's dad had suffered a stroke, and now he could not live on his own or leave his bed. Zhao Hongshuo's mom had died early in his childhood. Although he was over 30, he'd never been married. His aunt often helped him with life tasks.
That day, when Zhao Hongshuo went home and saw his dad lying on the bed, he immediately burst into tears.
Zhao Hongshuo's aunt was a typical rural woman, and when she saw Zhao Hongshuo's miserable appearance, she said brusquely, "What's the matter with you? I haven't seen you lately. Have you not been to work recently?"
"I... I lost my job," Zhao Hongshuo said with a frown.
"Lost your job? How did you lose it? Do you know how hard it was for me to get you that job? Did you lose your job because you got in a fight?" his aunt asked angrily.
"Aunt, I did not fight. I just helped catch some thieves, and as a result, they stabbed me with a knife," he replied in a low voice.
"Stabbed? Well, you can lie in the hospital and make them pay you for what happened!" his aunt said, jumping up excitedly.
"They are homeless children, and they can't pay," he replied.
"Homeless children? You were stabbed by homeless children?"
His aunt looked at Ye Fei with disdain, "In this modern age, who goes to help others like that? You got yourself injured. Besides, you are a veteran, but you even can't defeat a few homeless children? This... It's so humiliating! I can't tell anyone about this!"
Zhao Hongshuo lowered his head silently.
His aunt thought for a while and then suddenly came up with an idea.
"No! After all, you were being righteous. I think the amus.e.m.e.nt park should send you bonuses. I'll call them," his aunt said before swiftly leaving the room.
After a few minutes, she returned with an angry expression. "Catching the thieves was a fine thing to do, but you ruined your costume? And gave the amus.e.m.e.nt park 20,000 yuan?! Where did you get
"Aunt, enough. My friend is herem We will talk about this later," Zhao Hongshuo said coldly.
"Well, if it wasn't for me, your dad would have died! You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you were a soldier for so many years, but after you came back, you even can't find a job."
His aunt was like a powder keg that had exploded, and she began shouting at Zhao Hongshuo.
Zhao Hongshuo took a deep breath and subdued the fury in his heart, then he said in a steady tone, "Aunt, that job isn't the one for me! I just got 3,000 yuan a month, and it had no future. I am 30 years old, I can't work in an amus.e.m.e.nt park for a lifetime."
"What? You think 3,000 Yuan a month is really too little? Well, since you are dissatisfied, and you want to do big business, go on now! Go find a better job on your own," she cried.
Zhao Hongshuo stood up and prepared to walk away.
But a hand on his shoulder pressed him down.
Ye Fei looked at Zhao Hongshuo's aunt, then smiled and said, "Aunt, let me introduce myself. My name is Ye Fei."
"Are you also a poor comrade of Zhao Hongshuo's?" she grunted.
"I'm a comrade of Zhao Hongshuo's, but... I'm not sure I could say I'm poor. My current salary is about 50,000 a month," he said coldly.
"You?!" His aunt immediately sneered.
"Aunt, this is Manager Ye from Ya Lai Group," Zhao Tie said.
"Ya Lai Group?" she exclaimed in surprise. "Is that... The multinational company that sells cosmetics?! Oh my G.o.d, that's a big company!"
Obviously, Ya Lai Group was well-known among women. Even middle-aged women like Zhao Hongshuo's aunt knew the name of this group.
When she heard that Ye Fei was a manager there, this sarcastic middle-aged woman immediately put a warm smile on her face.
"What are you responsible for in the company?"
"It's none of your business. I'm just telling you, I've decided to hire Zhao Hongshuo to work in my department. As for salary, 4,000 yuan a month," Ye Fei said seriously.
"4,000 a month!"
His aunt was stunned, because her salary was only 3,000 a month. She felt awkward about the conversation and made an excuse to leave the room shortly after.
Seeing his aunt leave, Zhao Hongshuo sat on the sofa and said, "Ye Fei, thank you for helping me speak. My aunt's heart is not bad, but she's a bit of a sn.o.b. However, lying to her is of no use. After she realizes I'm not going to work this week, she'll just be even more angry at me."
"Who says I lied to her? I'm really giving you a job," Ye Fei said.
"Ya Lai Group... Can you decide that?"
Zhao Tie took a look at Ye Fei and knew that, though he had a good relations.h.i.+p with Lin Qingwan, he could not make hiring decisions for her.
"Not Ya Lai Group, I'm going to start a company myself!" Ye Fei said with a smile. "I've already thought about it, and I'm going to start a security company."
