"No, no, no!"
Zhao Feiyan repeatedly shook her head and waved her hands, refusing. "Xiao Yue, continue with your studies!"
"I already ate at the restaurant before coming back!"
Liu Xiaoyue asked again, "Sister-in-law, did my brother mention his business trip to you?"
"He did. He told me about it a week ago!"
"It's been so long, I just didn't recall it for a moment!"
This business trip for Liu Kai Xuan was a long one, requiring him to be away from home for several days.
How could Liu Kai Xuan not inform Zhao Feiyan about such a significant matter beforehand?
Liu Kai Xuan had indeed given her a heads-up, but he hadn't specified the exact dates of his trip.
He only mentioned that he would be away for about a week, and the exact departure date would depend on work requirements!
"Mom, I miss Dad. When will Dad be back?"
As Zhao Feiyan returned to her room to wash her feet before bed, Liu Xin Xue suddenly pounced into her arms.
"Shu Xue, be good, don't fuss. Dad might be back tomorrow!"
"Mom is tired. You should go to bed early!"
Zhao Feiyan, taking Liu Xin Xue with her, was about to escort the little girl back to her room to sleep.
Just then, Wang Jun arrived at the house with Bang Geng.
"Ah, why are you here?"
Upon seeing that it was Bang Geng, Liu Xiaoyue's face changed dramatically.
If Liu Kai Xuan were home, Liu Xiaoyue would have immediately hidden behind him.
Unfortunately, Liu Kai Xuan was not home today.
Despite feeling extremely nervous, Liu Xiaoyue immediately shielded Xiao Hu behind her, preventing him from getting hurt.
Bang Geng’s face was stern, and he remained silent.
Wang Jun, smiling, said, "Feiyan, I've come to ask you to arrange a job for Bang Geng!"
"I can't arrange one!"
Zhao Feiyan flatly refused. "Our company has reached its full staff capacity. We don't need anyone now!"
"If there's nothing else, Director Wang, you should go back and rest early!"
"I..."
Zhao Feiyan not only rejected Wang Jun's proposal outright but also asked him to leave.
This immediately created an extremely tense atmosphere.
Wang Jun was extremely anxious, but he still braced himself and continued.
"Feiyan, you are now a renowned entrepreneur in our courtyard!"
"As an entrepreneur, you must have a magnanimous heart!"
"Although Bang Geng made many mistakes in the past, he has thoroughly reformed now!"
"We elders should give him a chance!"
"For now, let him work as a waiter at Feiyan Restaurant. At least give him a means of livelihood..."
Before Wang Jun could finish his sentence, Zhao Feiyan interrupted him again.
"Wang Jun, are you ever going to stop?"
"If you care so much about Bang Geng, why don't you arrange a job for him within your administrative positions in the sub-district office?"
"I've already made it clear to you. Our company is fully staffed and doesn't need anyone!"
"Go, go, we need to sleep!"
Zhao Feiyan issued another order to leave. Although Wang Jun was unwilling, he could only sigh and leave with Bang Geng.
Bang Geng, that young man, was arrogant and overconfident but utterly incompetent.
He had only been out of prison for a few days, just turned eighteen, and was already a habitual offender, having been to prison three times.
What company would dare to hire such a person with a criminal record?
Bang Geng also wanted to find a job and earn a lot of money, but he couldn't find one.
Without a job, he had to shamelessly rely on minimum living allowances.
However, as a healthy adult, he no longer met the criteria for receiving these allowances.
Bang Geng's shameless persistence had really troubled Wang Jun.
In the end, Wang Jun had no choice but to arrange a job for Bang Geng through the sub-district office.
The job arranged by the sub-district office was cleaning toilets.
Bang Geng was only nineteen years old this year. How could he be willing to clean toilets?
He had no intention of continuing that job.
Helpless, Wang Jun could only bring him to Zhao Feiyan.
Zhao Feiyan's restaurant was a private enterprise.
As long as Zhao Feiyan, the boss's wife, agreed, Bang Geng could start working at any time.
In this era, a job as a waiter in a restaurant was much more respectable than being a toilet cleaner.
Many young people were willing to do this kind of work.
Therefore, Wang Jun thought to shamelessly arrange something for Bang Geng.
However, he never expected that Zhao Feiyan would not give him any face at all.
After the two left together, Wang Jun said helplessly, "Bang Geng, I really can't help you anymore!"
"Tomorrow, you should go out on your own and see if you can find a suitable job!"
Bang Geng replied coldly, "I've already tried. It's too difficult to find a job now!"
"I want to support my two younger sisters, so I must find a high-paying job!"
"Moreover, the working hours cannot be too demanding, otherwise, I won't be able to take care of my sisters!"
Wang Jun said sternly, "Bang Geng, what exactly do you mean?"
"You don't seriously think that after another company hires you, they'll let you be the boss directly, do you?"
"I don't!" Bang Geng retorted defiantly.
Wang Jun became even more agitated at this point. "You still won't admit it? You haven't even graduated from elementary school, yet you want a high salary and are unwilling to work hard!"
"There's no other way except starting your own business!"
"That's right!"
Wang Jun's words made Bang Geng's eyes light up. "I can invest and start my own business!"
"If Zhao Feiyan, a woman, can open a shop and be a boss, why can't I!"
"Uncle Wang Jun, why don't you lend me ten thousand yuan as capital first? I..."
"Please spare me. My family really doesn't have money!"
Before Bang Geng could finish speaking, Wang Jun's face turned pale with fright.
Good heavens, you're asking to borrow ten thousand yuan from me right off the bat. Do you really think I'm a bank?
In this era, having ten thousand yuan was a rare treasure.
You actually have the nerve to ask me to lend you ten thousand yuan.
Not to mention that Wang Jun couldn't come up with that amount of money now, even if he could, Wang Jun wouldn't lend it to someone like Bang Geng!
This kid was a repeat offender who had robbed and served time in prison three times!
Someone like him might end up in prison again at any moment. Lending him money would be throwing it down the drain.
"Uncle Wang, don't go, wait for me!"
