“It’s not easy for you to earn money. Why did you buy such an expensive thing?” Zhao Jiefang said.
“Just buy me some tobacco. I’ve been smoking that all my life.”
“It’s because you’ve smoked it all your life that I bought you this. Now that I’m old, you need to try something good and enjoy yourself.”
‘You really know how to charm others.” Zhao Jiefang held Lin Yi’s hand happily.
He wasn’t happy because Lin Yi had bought him these things.
Most importantly, Lin Yi had a way with words and knew how to make people happy.
In Zhao Jiefang’s eyes, Lin Yi and Guo Ningyue were not outsiders.
These children were very good. Although they were not biologically related to him, they were very filial.
They treated him even better than some biological children.
Therefore, Zhao Jiefang also treated the two of them as his biological grandsons.
“Grandpa, I even bought you new clothes. Hurry up and see if you like them.”
“I like it, I like it. I’ll like whatever you buy for me,” Zhao Jiefang said with a smile.
‘Quanfu, you’ve made a name for yourself now. Your son and daughter have become successful. You can enjoy your life in the future,” the villager who came to visit said.
‘We’re doing okay.” Zhao Quanfu said honestly.
“The two of them have stable jobs now and earn a lot. Moreover, they’ll be married next year. I have nothing to worry about. ‘
“Then you can stay in the city from now on.”
“Little Yue is in Yangcheng, and Little Yi is in Zhonghai. They have both just bought houses, so they will stay in the cities from now on.”
When she talked about the two of them, Zhao Quanfu felt proud.
She had never thought that Lin Yi would be able to get to where he was today.
Moreover, he had also upgraded the conditions of the orphanage. This was something that she did not dare to imagine in the past.
“Yangcheng and Zhonghai are both good places. They must be doing well to be able to stay in these places.”
“I remember that the Liu Family kid from our village graduated from a famous university. In the end, he worked in Zhonghai for a few years but couldn’t make a name for himself. I heard that he’s coming back soon, since he can’t stay there anymore.”
‘When I was young, I knew that he would be successful. Look, he turned out as
I said.”
“I don’t need you to tell me that. Everyone knew that Lil Yi was smart ever since he was young.”
Seeing the villagers praising Lin Yi one after another, Wang Cuiping was extremely proud. She straightened her back and raised her neck to the sky.
After waiting for more than half a year, this day had finally arrived.
‘Who among you can compare to my son?
‘What are you doing?!’
Seeing that Sun Guilan was about to speak, Zhao Quande held her back to prevent her from spouting nonsense.
“I’m just going to have a casual chat. Don’t stop me.”
Sun Guilan broke free from Zhao Quande and said,
“The houses in Zhonghai are not cheap. I heard that it costs over ten thousand yuan per square meter, and it’s not even in the school district. If you earn less than ten thousand yuan a month, you can’t survive in such a place.”
“Even with a monthly salary of over ten thousand, it’d be tough to survive,” Lin
Yi said.
Guo Ningyue sulkily stopped talking.
She was only in charge of showing off. If she encountered someone of Sun Guilan’s level, she would have to rely on her brother to take the lead.
The only pity was that her sister-in-law was not here.
If she was here, she probably wouldn’t even need to say a word. Just her powerful aura alone would be enough to suppress these people.
“But I remember that last year, you seemed to have just changed jobs. You were in a real estate company, and your monthly salary was only a few thousand yuan.”
“Second Aunt is right,” Lin Yi said.
“Then how did you get a house in Zhonghai? It’s not in the suburbs, is it? I’m told the houses there aren’t very good. They’re almost at the edge of Zhonghai.”
“But wasn’t that last year? I can’t possibly be stuck earning a few thousand yuan all my life.”
“Then what have you done in the past year? How could you suddenly buy a house in Zhonghai?”
“I started a small company and made some money.”
Guo Ningyue was a little puzzled. It was clearly a big company, so why did he say it was a small company?
‘What is my brother trying to do?’ “Wow, my grandson even started a company. How impressive.”
“I’m trying to make a living.”
“Brother, what’s the name of your company? I might be transferred to
Zhonghai next year. I might be able to help manage your company,” Zhao Zirui said.
Everyone in the room was stunned when they heard that. Zhao Jiefang said,
“Grandson, aren’t you a civil servant? How can you manage your brother’s company?”
“I’m from the tax bureau. We’re in charge of Big Brother’s company’s accounts, so we can help manage them,” Zhao Zirui said with a smile.
“That’s good. If that’s the case, you have to take care of your brother’s company.”
“That’s for sure. I’ll take care of whatever I can.” Zhao Zirui smiled and said.
“Otherwise, it will be very difficult for small companies to survive in a place like Zhonghai. They might go bankrupt at any time.”
“That’s right. You brothers have to help each other, so try to help your brother expand his business.”
“Definitely.”
“Do civil servants have so much power?” One of the villagers asked.
‘You guys don’t know the truth, right?” Sun Guilan added.
“In Huaxia, power comes first. Those small businesses are under the control of my son’s tax bureau. If there’s a problem with the accounts, they will have to go back and redo it. The lives and deaths of some small businesses are completely to these people.”
“That’s really impressive. Your Zhao family is doing well now. In the future, your family will be able to do whatever they want in Victory Village.”
‘We’re doing okay. We’re doing about as well as everyone thinks,” Sun Guilan said with a smile.
Wang Cuiping rolled her eyes and ignored her.
She also wanted to refute, but hse really didn’t understand what was going on, so it wasn’t appropriate for her to randomly start arguing.
“Granddaughter, look at your brother. He’s already a civil servant, but he still has an iron rice bowl. I don’t think you should look for another job. Just take the civil servant exam. It’s good for a little girl to do this. Aren’t you tired of job hunting?’
Zhao Jiefang looked at Wang Jiajia and said.
“I’ve already taken the exam, Grandpa, but I got eighth place in the written test.
After the interview, only two people were accepted. I feel like I have no chance,” Wang Jiajia said dejectedly.
“This interview is indeed quite difficult.” Zhao Zirui said sagely, as he had a vast amount of experience.
“Back then, I got first place in the written test. During the interview, I even bribed them 100,000 yuan to work at the tax bureau. You only got eighth place. Moreover, you don’t have money or power. It’ll be very difficult for you to get a job here.”
“That’s what I thought too. I don’t think I have much of a chance. I’m prepared to work hard and try again next year.”
“Isn’t that wasting another year? Can’t you think of another solutions?” Zhao Jiefang asked.
Although he was old, he was still very aware of the ways of the world and was not at all senile.
“The main issue is that our family lacks the connections, so we can’t find anyone to help us,” Wang Jiajia said.
“Actually, I don’t think someone like me is suitable to take the civil service exam at all. I have no money or power. There’s no chance they will hire me.”
“Ask your brother. He’s a civil servant and knows a lot of people. He might be able to help,” Zhao Jiefang said..
