Chapter 805 Zhou Chen felt a little guilty in the face of gratitude.
In order to prevent Zhu Minjie from causing trouble and interfering in his and Zhu Zhe's affairs, Zhou Chen directly set a trap for Zhu Minjie under the guise of introducing him to a job.
In Zhou Chen's opinion, Zhu Minjie was a bit arrogant and unrealistic. He didn't want to do the job that Zhu Zhe introduced, and instead wanted to do an easy job.
If Zhu Minjie had the ability, he could have easily found a job on his own, but instead he decided to try to get in through connections.
Since that's the case, Zhou Chen will give him this opportunity. Zhou Chen will introduce him to an office job, but if he can't do it well, that's his problem.
Hehe, after experiencing the taste of failure, let's see how arrogant Zhu Minjie will still be. He should just obediently come back and do hard labor.
Hmph, a college student from a third-rate university, unemployed after graduation, and you think you're so great?
This is a good opportunity to let Zhu Minjie see his own abilities clearly. I believe he won't be so arrogant in the future, and he will definitely work hard. This is exactly what Zhou Chen and Zhu Zhe want to see.
Because Zhou Chen had put in a good word for him, Zhu Minjie's interview went very smoothly the next day, and he was soon hired.
The moment Zhu Minjie joined the company, he called Zhu Zhe to tell her the news. He wanted to prove to his older sister that he was a talented person and that he didn't need to start from the bottom as a courier. He wanted to prove his abilities.
After learning that Zhou Chen had helped his younger brother find a job, Zhu Zhe was a little surprised. He then teased his brother, "Little brother, if you're really capable, find a job yourself. What's so great about having Zhou Chen pull strings for you? Do you think it's something to be proud of?"
Faced with his older sister's sarcastic remarks, Zhu Minjie was speechless. "I would have informed you of any good news as soon as possible, and this is how you treat me?"
"Although my brother-in-law helped me, I got in the interview based on my own abilities. Can you please not underestimate me?"
"Hmph, I swear on this, I'll prove myself soon. I'll show you that my university education wasn't for nothing, and your brother will be rich very soon."
Feeling unhappy, Zhu Minjie started to become arrogant in order to prove his abilities to his older sister.
Not wanting to be mocked by Zhu Zhe any longer, Zhu Minjie hung up the phone. Zhu Zhe was even more speechless. With your anxious personality, it would be a miracle if you could calm down and work.
Zhu Zhe dialed Zhou Chen's number again, wanting to express her gratitude to him.
"Zhou Chen, I just received a call from my younger brother. He has already joined Happy Logistics Company."
Although I dislike your unilateral decision-making, you should have discussed it with me first.
However, I still want to express my gratitude to you for thinking of my brother. Consider this a favor I owe you.
Zhu Zhe expressed his gratitude earnestly, but Zhou Chen smiled and seemed unwilling to accept it.
“You’ve been my woman since yesterday, and your brother is my brother too. Isn’t it only right that I help him?”
Zhu Zhe, you don't need to be so polite with me anymore; it makes us seem a bit distant.
If you want to thank me, treat me to dinner after get off work. I'll give you a chance to show your appreciation.
Zhu Zhe did not reject Zhou Chen's suggestion because she felt that what Zhou Chen said made a lot of sense.
Now that they are family, it is only right for Zhou Chen to help his younger brother.
Zhu Zhe then realized that his attitude had indeed changed after his identity was altered.
Before becoming Zhou Chen's woman, Zhu Zhe's attitude towards Zhou Chen's help was that she didn't want to owe him any favors.
Now that she has become Zhou Chen's woman, Zhu Zhe believes it is only right for Zhou Chen to help her younger brother.
This change in attitude can be really scary sometimes. A simple "this is how it should be" means that Zhu Zhe is slowly starting to rely on Zhou Chen.
This is not a good sign for Zhu Zhe. Who knows if he will lose himself one day and become Zhou Chen's appendage?
After get off work, Zhu Zhe really invited Zhou Chen to dinner, and they even went to a Western restaurant, which was obviously not cheap. It seems that he really cares about Zhou Chen helping his younger brother.
"Zhu Zhe, you're really generous! The food here isn't cheap. It's the first time you've treated me to a meal here. I'm a little embarrassed."
Zhou Chen was telling the truth because he knew there was something fishy about the job he found for Zhu Minjie. The better Zhu Zhe treated him, the more guilty Zhou Chen felt, because he felt unworthy of the kindness.
However, there are some things that cannot be said to Zhu Zhe in person, so let Zhu Minjie figure it out himself. Time will prove his good intentions.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Order whatever you want to eat today. My little brother is finally making something of himself, and of course I'm happy for him as his older sister."
With my connections in Shanghai, I could only find my brother manual labor jobs. Thankfully, you were there to lend a helping hand at a crucial moment. I'll make sure my brother thanks you properly someday; I mean what I say.
Zhu Zhe continued to express his gratitude, but Zhou Chen felt increasingly uneasy, wondering if he had been too petty.
After all, Zhu Minjie is Zhu Zhe's younger brother. If he can really adapt to that job, perhaps I can go easy on him and not set a trap for him.
"Then I won't be polite. I'll definitely order the most expensive dishes to make you feel the pinch."
Ultimately, I only helped Xiao Jie because of you. More than Xiao Jie's thanks, I want yours. Otherwise, treat me well tonight; I've done quite a bit of favor for your brother."
Zhou Chen's words, "reward," immediately made Zhu Zhe realize that he had ill intentions and might want to go to a hotel with her again.
However, Zhu Zhe was quite rational. She directly refused, saying, "Zhou Chen, I think you're being a bit too arrogant. We didn't go back to the neighborhood the night before last. If we don't go back tonight, people will inevitably become suspicious."
You used to always revolve around Lucy and the kids. If neither of us came home, even a fool could tell something was wrong.
You shouldn't overthink things; I don't want to be laughed at.
Zhu Zhe directly rejected Zhou Chen, saying, "You should go home and keep Lucy company first. Since bringing your sister to Shanghai, she hasn't had a good night's sleep. Lucy needs your comfort."
