"You two really are birds of a feather!" Chen Nan said, bursting into laughter from sheer exasperation. "Just because I refused your arrangements, I've become ungrateful and my brain has been kicked by a donkey?"
"So, if I don't comply with you two, I become an unpardonable sinner?"
"Isn't this too overbearing of you?"
Chen Bei said coldly, "I'm doing this for your own good, don't twist my words!"
"Yes, I know you've always looked down on me."
"You used to look down on me for my poor grades!"
"And for often getting into trouble!"
"So, you're not happy seeing my current achievements."
"This is understandable, after all, everyone has jealousy and a desire to compare."
"And now, you need to face reality."
"People say when one person attains enlightenment, even their dogs and chickens ascend to heaven. Although I haven't achieved much yet."
"But I can completely arrange for you to work at the Jiang Group."
"So, you're my cousin, Chen Xi is my younger cousin, shouldn't I help you out?"
Speaking of which, he looked at Chen Shan and the others, "Uncle, our restaurant is a buffet. Just say my name and take whatever you want to eat. I've already informed the restaurant staff."
Chen Shan smiled, "Good."
Chen Bei then looked at Chen Nan again, "We brothers don't have any deep hatred, we just don't see eye to eye. So, are you sure you won't consider working here?"
Chen Nan walked to the buffet counter and picked up a tray. "What kind of job do you think I'm suited for?"
Chen Bei said, "If you had a university diploma, I could arrange a decent position for you. But you went to prison after graduating from high school. With my current ability, I can only arrange for you to be a security guard in the security department."
"If you find this job too tiring, you can also work as a cleaner in the cleaning department."
Chen Nan smiled and shook his head. "So, you seem to be considering me, but in reality, you want to find a sense of superiority over me, right?"
Chen Bei, enraged, retorted, "How can you say that about me? I'm thinking of you! You have no degree, and you've been to prison. If I don't help you, won't your life be ruined?"
"Yes, I admit that neither the security department nor the cleaning department jobs are respectable, but you have to give me time to climb up!"
"Once I reach a higher position, will I forget you? I will definitely transfer you to another post!"
"Chen Nan, Chen Nan, I don't know what you experienced in prison, but you've changed. Your heart has become much darker."
"You're practically ruined!"
Chen Nan took some food and then went to his parents' table. The family was already gathered around a round table.
Chen Xi asked, "Brother Bei, is this guy still being stubborn?"
Chen Bei snorted coldly, "Maybe his head is filled with water!"
"Chen Nan, you've truly disappointed Third Uncle!" Chen Yang sighed. "We kindly offered to arrange for you to join the Jiang Group, yet you are not only ungrateful but also indifferent. Do you really think the whole world revolves around you? If it weren't for family ties, do you think we would meddle in your affairs?"
Sun Jingxiang said, "Big Brother, you should persuade Chen Nan about this. After all, he's not a child anymore and can't be so willful!"
Chen Shan smiled, "My son has grown up. I respect his choices!"
Chen Bei angrily said, "You two father and son are exactly the same. You can't grasp opportunities when they fall into your laps. You will definitely regret it in the future!"
*Slap!*
Chen Nan slammed the table in anger. "Chen Bei, I advise you to watch your mouth. If you dare to disrespect my dad again, I'll slap you!"
Chen Bei was suddenly intimidated by Chen Nan's aura.
Because he had actually been slapped by Chen Nan when he was a child.
It was precisely for this reason that he had always targeted and suppressed Chen Nan, wanting to find a sense of superiority over him and vent his inner grievances.
Chen Nan said coldly, "You're just a mere team leader in the HR department, what's the big deal? Do you really think we can't live without you? Stop making a fuss, the world doesn't revolve around you!"
Sun Jingxiang scoffed, "A mere team leader in the HR department? Such big words! If you have the guts, come to the Jiang Group yourself. Do you have the ability?"
Wang Hui, eating abalone, said with disgust, "He definitely wants to work at the Jiang Group, but would they want someone with a blemish like him?"
Chen Nan suddenly asked, "Third Aunt, have you ever considered why your son became an employee of the Jiang Group?"
"He didn't even finish university, so why is he an employee of the Jiang Group?"
"Why did he become a team leader in the HR department within a year of joining?"
"Don't you find all of this strange?"
Sun Jingxiang said proudly, "Because he's been appreciated by his superiors, is that reason enough?"
Chen Nan was amused. "Just that?"
"What else? Is it not because he's appreciated by his superiors, but because of you?" Sun Jingxiang became more and more indignant as she spoke. "Hurry up and find a place to pee and see what kind of person you are. In our eyes, you're just scum, garbage!"
"I'm telling you, you can only come to the Jiang Group once in your life, and that's today, because of my son."
"This is the good fortune you've accumulated in your past lives!"
"Xia Zhi?"
Just then.
A joyful voice came from afar.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young, beautiful girl running over with a cheerful gait.
"Why are you here too?" Chen Xia Zhi looked at her friend Jiang Li with surprise.
Jiang Li chuckled, "To mooch a meal, you? Are you here to mooch too? How's the food here? If you like it, I'll bring you here every day from now on."
Chen Xia Zhi smiled, "Yes, I heard the food here is good, so I came to try it. To be honest, it tastes alright!"
Then she looked at her parents, "Dad, Mom, let me introduce you, this is my classmate Jiang Li, and also my roommate."
Chen Shan and his wife greeted Jiang Li.
Sun Jingxiang looked at Chen Bei, "Son, do you know this girl?"
Chen Bei shook his head. "She looks familiar. She must be the daughter of some leader. After all, our company has many leaders with the surname Jiang."
Sun Jingxiang's expression changed. She whispered, "Then, do you think Chen Nan can get into the Jiang Group through this girl? If that happens, where will our faces go?"
"Mom, you're worrying too much," Chen Bei said with a smile. "Not everyone can join the Jiang Group, especially those with a tarnished past."
"Even if we take a step back, she and Xia Zhi are just classmates. Even if Chen Nan wanted to join the Jiang Group, do you think she would pay any attention to him?"
Sun Jingxiang breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, Jiang Li looked at Chen Nan and whispered, "Brother Chen, does my dad know you're here?"
Chen Nan smiled, "I didn't tell him."
"He'll be very happy if he knew you were here," Jiang Li said with a smile, looking behind her towards Jiang Jiancheng, who had just walked out of the elevator. "Dad, come quickly, see who's dining at our company today!"
*Boom!*
Seeing Jiang Jiancheng, Chen Bei's scalp went numb, and he felt a chill down his spine.
It felt like a bolt from the blue.
Heavens!
Which part went wrong?
How does Chen Nan know the big boss?
