Chapter 1505 Good Position
Xia Lu and Xia Yan were not studying in a well-known university and they had even needed Xia Jun to help get them enrolled in the first place. They already had to struggle to graduate, so how could they compete with top students from Capital University?
“How can it be better to hire outsiders rather than family members? It would be much more reassuring to have your own family members helping you with the work,” Zhou Luo said.
Xia Zhe frowned slightly. There were so many people in the family who were not happy at work but none of them had ever come to ask Qiao Mei for anything, yet this completely unrelated person had come asking Qiao Mei for help.
In the past, Zhou Luo had even looked down on Qiao Mei for having come from the countryside! She had said a lot of sarcastic things about Qiao Mei behind everyone’s back. Now that Qiao Mei was doing well, all these people could not wait to come and curry favor with her. They were all really too stuck-up!
If not for the fact that they were now living in a law-abiding society, Xia Zhe would have given Xia Lu and Xia Yan a good beating. He would break their legs to ensure that they remembered the lesson. If they could not recover, they could simply just perform as street buskers to earn a living.
If anyone criticized him, he would simply say that he was doing his part to educate his juniors. No one could fault him for that.
“I hear that Xia He’s husband is also working for you now and drawing quite a high salary! Also, Xia You’s husband is going to work at your factory soon. Let’s be frank here. Since you can help them, you can help these two in my family. There’s no difference,” Zhou Luo said shamelessly.
Deng Fan and Lu Huai were both capable people and had worked hard to be able to justify the salaries they were drawing. Qiao Mei was not a fool. If they did not have any strengths, why would she have idle people on her payroll?
Hiring them and hiring the two brothers were two completely different matters.
“Is that so? I do have two more positions at the factory. I’m just worried that my two younger cousins won’t be able to cope,” Qiao Mei covered her face and said with a smile.
Xia He looked at Qiao Mei’s expression and could already guess what it was all about. She almost lost control and laughed out loudly in front of everyone. Deng Fan had been working in the factory for so long that he could naturally guess the positions Qiao Mei was talking about.
They had known Qiao Mei for so long. If they could not even tell what Qiao Mei was thinking, then she might as well cut ties with them!
“Everyone… what are you laughing at?” Zhou Luo asked curiously.
“Oh! We’re just happy for you! Auntie Zhou, you don’t know this, but the two positions Qiao Mei mentioned are especially well-paid. My friend’s younger brother’s brother-in-law’s elder sister had even asked me to recommend her for the job! Qiao Mei already agreed earlier,” Xia He said quickly.
“I can’t take her in even if I had already agreed to it earlier. After all, these are our younger cousins. How can I take care of outsiders first?” Qiao Mei pretended to say regretfully.
“You’re right! We’re a family! Qiao Mei is really sensible! We can’t let outsiders take advantage of us! Xia He, make a phone call to that family later! Tell them that Qiao Mei’s factory doesn’t have any position for them!” Zhou Luo said agitatedly.
Xia He immediately smiled and nodded. “Sure! I’ll get it done in a while!”
“Do my younger cousins want to take up the jobs? If you want to work at my factory, when do you want to start?” Qiao Mei asked.
“Now! Right now! I’ll get the two of them to report to you at the factory tomorrow! About the salary…” Zhou Luo emphasized the last word and waited for Qiao Mei’s answer.
Qiao Mei chuckled and said, “Auntie Zhou, I’m just introducing two prospective workers to my mother. We still have to discuss this matter. I can’t be the one making all the decisions, right? Don’t worry, I won’t shortchange my two younger cousins,” Qiao Mei said.
“Alright! Since Qiao Mei says so! Then I’m relieved!” Zhou Luo raised her glass in satisfaction and finished the liquor in one gulp.
Xia Lu and Xia Yan just sat there unmovingly, as if this entire matter had nothing to do with the two of them at all. They did not even say a word of thanks.
Qiao Mei did not really care about this. She just hoped that they would not cause trouble after knowing what the jobs entailed.
Zhou Luo was in a good mood today and kept drinking. She even asked the Xia family to help the Zhou family with other matters. She pestered Xia Wen to help arrange for her younger brother to work in government services, and also asked Xia Mao to help arrange for her younger sister to go to university. In short, she asked for everything she could think of.
Xia Wen and Xia Mao did not agree to any of her requests. After sending off the three members of the Zhou family, everyone in the house heaved a sigh of relief. Zhou Luo was simply like the god of plague!
