Chapter 800 Setting a Trap for Zhu Minjie Step by Step
The shrewd Zhu Minjie quickly gleaned the answer he wanted from his sister Zhu Zhe's words: Zhou Chen really was a rich second-generation.
The building in the Joyful Song residential complex where my sister lives is actually owned by Zhou Chen's family, which means that my brother-in-law must also be a wealthy man with a net worth of over 100 million.
If Zhu Minjie serves Zhou Chen well, Zhou Chen can easily give him a house, so that Zhu Minjie can have a home of his own in Shanghai. Just thinking about it is exciting.
With this in mind, Zhu Minjie began to value Zhou Chen even more, determined to make Zhou Chen his brother-in-law, because only in this way could his dream of owning a house in Shanghai be realized.
It's clear that there's no hope for Zhu Minjie to earn money through his own work, so he has no choice but to resort to this crooked path. Perhaps this is the closest he can get to realizing his dream, and Zhu Minjie doesn't want to give up.
So Zhu Minjie agreed to the delivery job that Zhu Zhe found for him. After all, he needed to establish himself in Shanghai first, and then find an opportunity to bring Zhou Chen and his sister together. With this goal in mind, Zhu Minjie was motivated to work.
Of course, Zhu Zhe had no idea that her younger brother was plotting against her. Perhaps in Zhu Minjie's and his parents' eyes, Zhu Zhe's existence was solely for taking care of her younger brother, and they wanted her to become a "brother-supporting demon."
Since there's a rich second-generation heir who likes Zhu Zhe, their family certainly can't give up on him, even if it means becoming his mistress.
After all, Zhu Minjie is not young anymore, and it's time for him to get married. The money needed for the wedding, including buying a car and a house, as well as the bride price, can only come from Zhu Zhe.
In their view, sacrificing Zhu Zhe's happiness was perfectly acceptable so that Zhu Minjie could get married, start a family, and continue the family line. After all, their family were all selfish people.
During his break, Zhu Minjie, who was off work, approached Zhou Chen again, his purpose, of course, being to get closer to Zhou Chen.
Inside a small restaurant, Zhou Chen and Zhu Minjie were drinking. They ordered three home-style dishes and a few bottles of beer.
"Xiao Jie, aren't you tired after a long day at work? How come you still have the energy to ask me out for drinks? Is your job too easy?"
Zhou Chen started looking for topics to talk about. He knew that Zhu Minjie was very dissatisfied with his work, so he could use this as a starting point. Zhou Chen planned to set traps for Zhu Minjie step by step so that he could easily control him.
Upon hearing Zhou Chen mention work, Zhu Minjie immediately said with a wronged expression, "Brother-in-law, you don't know that I studied business administration in college. I thought the job prospects were very broad, but I didn't expect to be unemployed after graduation."
My family is just an ordinary farming family. What assets do we have for me to manage?
My sister always says I'm too ambitious and tells me to climb up step by step. But what does my major have to do with delivering packages? What can I learn in the delivery industry?
Isn't this infuriating? My sister is completely wasting her talent!
Hearing Zhu Minjie's complaint, Zhou Chen followed up with, "So you studied business administration? It's really a waste of your talent to work as a courier."
I never expected you to be so talented. I have a few friends who own companies; I might be able to put in a good word for you and get you an interview.
At this point, Zhou Chen suddenly stopped, of course, on purpose, just like casting out bait to attract Zhu Minjie, like fishing.
Working for a big company is better than delivering packages for a courier company, right? Zhou Chen didn't believe Zhu Minjie wouldn't be tempted.
Zhou Chen then pretended to suddenly remember something, and then looked at Zhu Minjie very seriously and said, "Hey, Xiao Jie, I have to remind you, don't call me brother-in-law anymore."
I'm not worthy to be your brother-in-law. You have no idea how much your sister Zhu Zhe has nagged me about it since we got back, saying that we have no relationship whatsoever and that I'm ruining her reputation.
Don't you think I'm also wronged? You're the one who called me "brother-in-law," I didn't ask you to call me that, but now the responsibility is being pushed onto me.
I think it's better if we keep our distance from now on, so your sister won't get even angrier if she sees this.
Of course, Zhou Chen said this on purpose. He first said he could introduce me to a job, and then said we must keep our distance. This huge contrast would naturally make Zhu Minjie feel threatened.
As expected, Zhu Minjie fell for it. He was really happy to hear that Zhou Chen could introduce him to a good job.
But before his excitement had even subsided, Zhou Chen wanted to distance himself from him again, which meant there was no hope for his job.
This was obviously unacceptable to Zhu Minjie. He immediately grabbed Zhou Chen's hand and played the victim, saying, "Brother-in-law, you are my own brother-in-law. You even asked me to hang out with you when we were drinking the other day. You can't change your attitude so quickly, can you?"
You absolutely must give me a chance at work. If I get a job at a big company, I'll definitely thank you properly.
Who knew that Zhou Chen pondered for a while and then shook his head and refused, saying, "Xiao Jie, to be honest with you, it's so easy to help you find a job, but your sister must have her reasons for arranging this job for you."
My blind interference will not only fail to win her favor, but will also cause her to resent me, and our relationship will probably become even more strained.
Just pretend I didn't say anything earlier; I don't want your sister to dislike me.
Hehe, Zhou Chen directly rejected Zhu Minjie's request. The reason he gave was very simple: it wasn't because of me, but because I had to consider your sister's feelings. I figured your sister definitely wouldn't agree.
These words seemed to provoke Zhu Minjie, who felt that his sister Zhu Zhe was holding him back, which immediately made him dissatisfied.
Zhu Minjie looked at Zhou Chen and provoked him, saying, "Brother-in-law, how can you be afraid of my sister? Where has your manliness gone? This is an insult to your image in my heart."
Zhou Chen feigned embarrassment and said, "Oh dear, if your sister were my woman, I would be the one to call the shots at home, but right now I'm the one pursuing your sister, aren't I?"
You've pursued girls before, you should know that you should go along with her a bit in this situation. I don't want to annoy her, so you have to understand my predicament.
Hehe, from beginning to end, Zhou Chen was setting a trap for Zhu Minjie step by step. His words, "If your sister is my woman, then of course I'll be the one to call the shots at home," seemed to be implying to Zhu Minjie that there was a solution.
As expected, Zhu Minjie fell for it. He had already intended to match his sister with Zhou Chen, and now, for the sake of his own good job, he worked even harder.
“Brother-in-law, I’ll help you pursue my sister. It’s her honor to have found a boyfriend as capable as you, but she’s still putting on airs. It’s really not right of her.”
Hehe, Zhou Chen finally heard what he wanted to hear. The words "I'll help you" were the most heartwarming. With the help of family, Zhu Zhe's internal fortress would soon be breached.
