Zhao Feiyan shook her head and laughed, "Whether he cooperates or not is irrelevant to me. As long as he can cooperate well with Kai Xuan!"
"Uh... that's only natural, that's only natural!"
Chen Yue nodded repeatedly and forced a smile, but a hint of worry welled up in her eyes.
Could Zhao Dajun and Liu Kai Xuan really cooperate well?
Liu Kai Xuan was a very capable man; Chen Yue herself had to admit that.
However, Liu Kai Xuan was rather detached from human sentiment.
For years, Zhao Dajun had been hoping for Liu Kai Xuan's "special consideration."
But Liu Kai Xuan had never once been willing to bend the rules.
This meant that Liu Kai Xuan, the senior engineer and head of the engineering department, had not brought Zhao Dajun any benefits.
Zhao Dajun was naturally unhappy, and his resistance towards Liu Kai Xuan was quite strong.
Meanwhile, Zhao Dajun, having traveled a long distance, arrived at Fierce Tiger Industrial Company.
In Liu Kai Xuan's office, a man in security uniform was standing.
After Zhao Dajun entered, Liu Kai Xuan gave him a brief introduction.
This man in security uniform was named Zhang Tie Zhu, a retired soldier currently serving as the security captain of the company.
"From today onwards, Comrade Zhao Dajun will be the deputy captain of our company's security team and concurrently my personal bodyguard!"
Zhao Dajun inquired, "Boss, would my position as deputy captain also be considered a leadership role?"
"Yes!"
Liu Kai Xuan said sternly, "You and Zhang Tie Zhu will be jointly responsible for the company's security team!"
"Of course, Zhang Tie Zhu is more familiar with the operations than you. In terms of work deployment and arrangements in the future, you will need to listen more to Zhang Tie Zhu's instructions!"
"Yes, Boss!"
Upon receiving Liu Kai Xuan's affirmative reply, Zhao Dajun's mood instantly brightened.
Zhao Dajun had heard about the development of Fierce Tiger Industrial Company from Zhao Tian Hai.
When Liu Kai Xuan first invested in this company, he had directly poured in tens of thousands of yuan.
And the company's subsequent growth rate had increased exponentially.
It was worth noting that in that era, the concept of a "ten-thousand-yuan household" had only just emerged.
With Liu Kai Xuan's salary and assets in the hundreds of thousands, it was undoubtedly considered a large company for that period.
This time, Liu Kai Xuan directly promoted Zhao Dajun to deputy captain of the security team, truly giving Zhao Dajun ample "consideration."
However, Zhao Dajun would never have guessed that this was actually Liu Kai Xuan's way of training him.
In the period that followed, Zhao Dajun was indeed thoroughly disciplined by Liu Kai Xuan.
...
Courtyard.
Yan Bugui specifically sought out Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekai!
"Second son, third son, you two will go with me to see Zhao Feiyan tonight!"
"Try to get Zhao Feiyan to arrange a job for you at the restaurant!"
"Ah?"
Yan Jiefang frowned and replied, "Dad, please stop joking with us!"
"The feud between Liu Kai Xuan and his wife and our family is quite deep!"
"If we go to beg them for a job now, wouldn't that be asking for humiliation?"
Yan Bugui said in a deep voice, "What do you two know?"
"In this era, if you can earn money, you are the master. If you can't earn money, no one will want you even if you become a beggar!"
"I've already inquired. The wages at Zhao Feiyan's restaurant are quite considerable!"
"You two first find a way to get into the restaurant and become ordinary workers!"
"After a few months of stable employment, we can then give Zhao Feiyan some gifts!"
"Then she can promote you properly, and your income will only increase!"
"Can it be done?" Yan Jiekai and Yan Jiefang still harbored doubts about Yan Bugui's arrangement.
"Why can't it be done? As long as we operate properly, this matter can definitely be accomplished. Just rest assured!"
Yan Jiefang was still somewhat worried, "Dad, I had a certain feud with Liu Kai Xuan back then!"
"I think Liu Kai Xuan probably hasn't forgotten that feud yet!"
"If we go to beg Zhao Feiyan for a job now, it's purely asking for humiliation, isn't it?"
Yan Jiefang's attitude, like a dog that couldn't be propped up, truly made Yan Bugui extremely anxious.
If it weren't for his advanced age and inconvenient mobility, he would have been itching to hit someone.
Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Yan Bugui still forced himself to continue speaking!
"Jiefang, if you think that way, you are gravely mistaken!"
"The person who had a feud with Liu Kai Xuan back then was your elder brother, not you!"
"Besides, that matter happened more than ten years ago, it's long past!"
Yan Jiefang listened to Yan Bugui's comfort.
"Fine, as long as Liu Kai Xuan is willing to arrange it for me, I would be very willing to work for him!"
Yan Bugui quickly corrected, "Let's not approach Liu Kai Xuan about this matter for now!"
"After my observation, I've found that Zhao Feiyan is actually much easier to deal with than Liu Kai Xuan!"
Yan Jiekai replied with a bitter face, "Dad, you want us two grown men to beg a woman for a meal?"
"If others found out about this, it would be utterly shameful!"
Yan Bugui's heart seethed with agitation. He reached out and slapped the back of Yan Jiekai's head.
"I say, you brat, why are you such a blockhead?"
"Can't you use your brain a little when you consider things?"
"Our purpose in doing this is to make money. As long as we can earn money, there's nothing to be ashamed of, do you understand?"
"Like you two now, penniless day in and day out, do you think that's respectable?"
"I..."
Yan Bugui's series of rhetorical questions directly rendered Yan Jiekai speechless, unable to utter a word for a long time.
The Yan brothers had basically not paid attention to the torrent of nonsense Yan Bugui had spouted earlier.
But they had truly taken to heart the last few sentences Yan Bugui had spoken.
Making money, there's nothing to be ashamed of!
An empty pocket with not a single cent is truly pathetic, just like the Yan brothers are now.
They rely on odd jobs to make a living day after day, without even a proper job.
The neighbors in the courtyard were unwilling to associate with them?
Could it be that living like this was truly respectable?
What face? Living like this was purely suffering, alright?
"Alright, Dad, I'll listen to you!"
Yan Jiekai finally came around, "As long as Zhao Feiyan can arrange a job for us, I wouldn't mind begging her this once!"
"Ai, that's more like it!"
Yan Bugui's anxious heart finally settled into his chest.
