Chapter 827 Zhu Minjie Gets into Trouble and Gets Expelled
Zhou Chen went to the hotel specifically to support Zhu Zhe, and then promoted her to the hotel's director, and then fired that Director Wang.
When General Manager Zhang informed Zhu Zhe of the news, although she had expected this day to come, it still made Zhu Zhe very happy.
When Zhu Zhe got home from get off work, he knocked on Zhou Chen's door and then threw himself into Zhou Chen's arms, laughing loudly.
"Zhou Chen, I am so happy today. You have no idea how ugly Director Wang's face was when Director Zhang announced my appointment."
From today onwards, I am also a senior manager in the hotel. Although it was through connections that I got this position, I will definitely prove you right about me through hard work. Please trust me.
Zhou Chen patted Zhu Zhe on the shoulder and comforted him, "I'm still confident in this regard. Your greatest strength, Zhu Zhe, is that you know how to behave appropriately. I've already provided you with a broad platform; now it's up to you."
Zhu Zhe nodded, but she still reminded him, "Zhou Chen, don't tell my brother about my promotion, because I'm afraid he'll cause trouble again."
You wouldn't believe it, but when he first came to Shanghai, he hoped I would pull some strings at the hotel to get him a comfortable job, but I refused.
If he knew I'd been promoted, or even that the hotel was your property, I'm worried he might make even more outrageous demands.
Zhou Chen frowned at Zhu Zhe's concerns, but after thinking about it, he relaxed.
Zhou Chen reminded him, "Zhu Zhe, there's nothing to worry about with your brother. I think what he needs most right now isn't a comfortable job, but rather his unstable personality."
Relying on your parents' doting love, they completely disregard you and treat you like a bloodsucker, hoping you can earn money to support the family.
This behavior absolutely must stop. I don't want you to become a "brother-supporting demon," it would be too hard for you.
If you can't refuse your brother's unreasonable demands, just pass him on to me. Then, as his brother-in-law, I'll give him a good beating and teach him a lesson so he'll know that there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
Zhou Chen was reminding Zhu Zhe that he didn't want Zhu Zhe to become a Voldemort. Although Zhu Zhe was sometimes very sensible, no amount of sensibility could overcome family ties.
"Don't worry, I can handle my brother's situation myself. Besides, he doesn't even know about our relationship."
As long as I'm still just an ordinary worker, and he doesn't know I have this ability, he won't put too much pressure on me.
You should stay away from my brother from now on. His parents spoil him at home, and if you continue to indulge him outside, he'll become even more arrogant. I don't want him to be spoiled.
In Zhu Zhe's eyes, her younger brother was just a spoiled brat from a poor family. If he were to encounter Zhou Chen, a real spoiled brat, her brother might quickly fall into depravity, and that would be terrible.
Hehe, Zhu Zhe had no idea that Zhou Chen had already taken her younger brother to a bar, and even ordered hostesses. He still remembered the feeling of being served back then.
If Zhu Minjie weren't broke, he really wanted to experience that feeling again; it was much more interesting than dating a girl.
After all, when you're dating a girl, you're the one who's trying to please her, and she might throw a little tantrum from time to time. But when you pay a hostess to accompany you, you're the one being pampered by the woman. You could say the roles have reversed.
Of course, Zhou Chen wouldn't mention taking Zhu Zhe's younger brother out to play. He then stated, "Zhu Zhe, it doesn't matter if our relationship is exposed. As Xiao Jie's future brother-in-law, I won't tolerate any problems he might have."
Furthermore, if we really want to promote Xiao Jie, now is not the time. It's better to let him settle down, start a family, and become more mature. For now, it's better to let him experience some hardship.
Only by understanding the hardships of starting a business can he truly appreciate his job.
Zhu Zhe nodded in agreement, saying that he had spent over a decade navigating the complexities of society to develop his current composure, while his younger brother lacked the experience and maturity that comes with it.
Therefore, Zhu Zhe immediately stated, "Zhou Chen, I think what you said makes a lot of sense. Unless it is an emergency, I don't want to get involved in Xiao Jie's life before he turns 30. You'll have to urge me on that when the time comes."
Zhou Chen nodded, and just as he was about to respond, his phone rang.
He frowned when he saw the caller ID, and only answered the phone after signaling Zhu Zhe to be quiet.
Because the person who made the call was Zhu Minjie's boss, who was also Zhou Chen's friend.
"Bro, you're not calling me now to keep your promise from last time to go for drinks, are you? Don't worry, it's on me later."
Faced with Zhou Chen's invitation, the other party refused outright, saying, "Brother, where did you find this weirdo for me? It's Zhu Minjie. He's completely useless and more likely to ruin things than get anything done."
Fearing that his brother might reveal his plan and expose Zhu Minjie's inevitable expulsion, Zhou Chen decided it was better to bring it up himself to avoid Zhu Zhe misunderstanding.
Zhou Chen immediately coughed and then directly reminded him, "Brother, don't be angry. Did that Zhu Minjie cause trouble? If you think he's not suitable for your company, you can fire him. You don't need to give me face."
Upon hearing Zhou Chen mention his younger brother, Zhu Zhe immediately wanted to ask what had happened to him.
The other party complained directly: "This Zhu Minjie is a weirdo. If you ask him to do anything, it will be full of loopholes. There is not a single thing he can do that makes me feel comfortable."
I didn't want to embarrass him too much out of consideration for you, so I let him slack off at the company. But I didn't expect him to cause me so much trouble.
Today, a big boss came to the company to discuss a collaboration with me, but that Zhu Minjie, blind to my abilities, instead provoked my partner. In the end, he ruined a deal worth over a million yuan, which was a huge loss for me.
I'm calling you today to let you know that I'm firing him tomorrow at work. Our temple is too small to accommodate such a great deity; I hope you can understand.
Zhu Zhe's expression immediately changed. He hadn't expected his younger brother to cause such a big mess. If they really wanted his brother to pay compensation, they couldn't afford it.
Seeing Zhu Zhe's expression, Zhou Chen patted her shoulder to comfort her.
"I never expected Zhu Minjie to cause such a big mess. It's right for you to fire him. I support your decision. He really caused you trouble."
If necessary, I can compensate you for your losses.
To everyone's surprise, the other party shook their head and refused, saying, "No need. Just don't blame me for not giving you face. If Zhu Minjie stays, who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause?"
Zhou Chen expressed his understanding, and after a few more polite words, the two hung up the phone.
Zhou Chen spread his hands and looked at Zhu Zhe, saying, "You heard the phone call just now. Your brother has caused trouble again. He made my friend lose more than a million yuan."
They said they're firing him tomorrow, so your brother will definitely come causing trouble again. You'd better be prepared.
Zhu Zhe was also a little uneasy. She hadn't expected her younger brother to cause such trouble. Fortunately, people didn't pursue the matter because of Zhou Chen, otherwise things would have been even more complicated.
Sigh, Zhu Zhe told his younger brother to quit his job earlier but he didn't listen. I wonder if he regrets it now?
