Chapter 373 Do you really need to be so obsequious?

Chapter 373 Do you really need to be so obsequious?

It's not difficult to just help them find a job, and it would be good to shut them up and stop them from causing trouble for Xiangyang.

Zhang Junying seemed genuinely happy, and she began discussing the job with Huo Chunyan. However, Lin Jidong's expression was grim. He had absolutely no interest in the job. If he were willing to do such a low-paying job, he would have done it long ago. He simply looked down on it and that's why he wasn't going.

As it turned out, Zhang Junying seemed to have some misunderstanding about him, genuinely believing that he couldn't find a job and was therefore busy running around everywhere, which left him speechless.

He wasn't in a good mood. After learning that his second younger brother and sister-in-law had died, his first reaction was to look for their inheritance. When he couldn't find any money, he lost interest and had no interest in their children either.

He had no intention of taking care of the child at all. Anyway, the child was just unlucky, so let whoever wanted to take care of him do so. Everyone was struggling to survive.

He didn't get along well with his second brother and sister-in-law, and they rarely interacted. This time, he came to see them because the boy had found some good adoptive parents, and they wanted to see if there was anything they could take advantage of.

Huo Chunyan could also see Lin Jidong's dissatisfaction, but what did that have to do with her? She didn't care about other people's feelings. Now they were begging her. If they weren't Xiangyang's uncle and aunt, she wouldn't want to pay any attention to them at all.

Now that she had promised to find Lin Jidong a job, she would do her best to get it done. As for whether Lin Jidong would ultimately take the job, that was his business.

Huo Chunyan then said, "When I go to work tomorrow, I will tell the cafeteria manager about this, and I should be able to start working in the cafeteria the day after tomorrow."

Zhang Junying's smile widened: "Okay, I understand. Anyway, we live nearby and we'll be here the day after tomorrow. I'll take him to the cafeteria with me then."

Huo Chunyan said, "Alright, it's settled then."

She held a decent position at the clinic, so there wouldn't be any problem getting someone to work as a temporary worker in the cafeteria; everyone would agree.

In the evening, everyone ate together.

Shen Zhixia was originally going to leave, but Huo Chunyan invited her to stay for dinner, so she informed her family and stayed.

Sun Baojun prepared a large table of dishes, and as always, he delivered a series of culinary disasters. Zhang Junying and Lin Jidong's expressions changed as they ate, but they still praised how delicious the food was.

Shen Zhixia chose a stir-fried vegetable dish and a cucumber salad. These two dishes were simple and tasted normal, which she could eat.

After the meal, the two left, as they had had a pleasant conversation and everyone seemed to be in a good mood.

Regardless, Zhang Junying had been trying her best to maintain the relationship and had no intention of ruining it with them.

After everyone left, Shen Zhixia asked, "Did they bring you gifts when they came?"

It's just a matter of courtesy; if the other party intends to befriend them, they would prepare these things.

Huo Chunyan shook her head: "No, they came empty-handed."

Shen Zhixia said, "Don't be fooled by Zhang Junying's nice attitude and pleasant words. I don't think she's someone to be trifled with. She says nice things, but she won't even prepare a basic gift. She's the kind of person who just wants to take advantage of you. If she comes over again and makes any unreasonable demands, just refuse."

Huo Chunyan nodded: "You're right, that's what I was thinking too. It's just that she only asked me to help her find a job this time, and I figured it wasn't a big deal, so I helped her out."

Sun Baojun came out at that moment. He had just been washing dishes, and his hands still looked greasy. "I saw that you helped them find jobs, and they didn't even show the slightest gratitude. You can't be close to people like that."

“Yes, if it weren’t for their connection with Xiangyang, we probably would never have had any contact with them,” Huo Chunyan said.

Since they accepted Xiangyang, they also accepted his relatives. Although they wouldn't have much contact with his relatives, they still had to maintain a facade of politeness to avoid them causing trouble for Xiangyang in the future.

Sun Baojun understood this principle. He said, "As long as we have a clear conscience, we don't need to care too much about what they think. If they want to get along well with us, we just need to be polite. If they dare to do anything bad, I won't let them bully you."

Shen Zhixia said with a smile, "I'm relieved to see that you can handle this matter well. It's getting late, so I'll head back now."

Before leaving, she went to see Huo Chunyan's daughter. She was so tiny. Her child had grown up and seemed less adorable. The younger the child, the cuter they are; you just want to give them a kiss.

After Zhang Junying left, she exclaimed, "They are really rich. The room has a TV, a bicycle, and a radio, all big items. Even the dining table was bought from the marketing agency."

Nowadays, most tables are made by hand. You just cut a piece of wood in the mountains, and it's not expensive. But if you make a table outside and then sell it, the price will be much higher.

It is evident that Huo Chunyan's family was quite well-off.

“They come from very wealthy families, so we need to get to know them better. It’s one thing to be rich, but the most important thing is that they also have power, which makes them extraordinary,” Zhang Junying remarked.

She's from a rural area, and the person who was able to marry into a family like Huo Chunyan's must be the best person she'll ever meet in her life.

Lin Jidong couldn't stand her attitude. He said disdainfully, "Do you have to be so obsequious? There's absolutely no need for that. I think you've forgotten why we came to see them today."

Zhang Junying frowned and said, "How could I forget? Of course I know that we came to see them today to ask them to find you a job. Now that Huo Chunyan has found you a job, isn't that a good thing?"

She was actually quite satisfied with the trip. Huo Chunyan treated them to a meal and even helped Lin Jidong find a job. With Huo Chunyan taking care of things, Lin Jidong would definitely not be bullied even if he went to work.

Her interaction with Huo Chunyan today was quite good, which is already a very positive development.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter whether I do this lousy job or not. Anyway, I think the job they found for me is dispensable. Even without them, I can find a job like this myself. There's no need for her to find it for me," Lin Jidong said dismissively.

He thought that someone of Huo Chunyan's status must have connections, which would help him find a better job, but that didn't happen. In the end, the jobs she found for him were all low-class jobs.

Zhang Junying said, "How can you say such a thing? If you could find a job, you would have started working long ago. Why would you wait until now?"

"I didn't go looking for it. If I had, I would have found it in no time," Lin Jidong retorted stubbornly.

"Come on, you just can't find it."
