Chapter 323 Deep in the quagmire
"Xiao Zhi, please help your brother. Your brother has graduated from a prestigious university in the city. It's okay to find a leisurely job in your company, right?" At the dinner table, Lu Zhi's grandparents and uncle were both present, and his aunt made such a request in front of so many people.
Just as Lu Zhifan was halfway through, he put down his chopsticks helplessly and said to his aunt: "Auntie, the company is not my own. Anyone who wants to enter must pass the formal written examination and interview." Besides, your son is not a life that can give people a job, everyone knows this.
My aunt's eyes rolled and she patiently advised him from another aspect: "Xiaozhi, do you who work in big cities often have intrigues in the workplace? If this happens, if you bring your brother over there, will your brother be your confidant? If you have a quarrel with Wang Mingyu, someone can help you."
She really thought that the current workplace is like a palace fight, and whoever wins over more confidants will be competitive?
Lu Zhi smiled, yes, excellent talents are needed, but it is useless to ask for not very good people. Don’t cause trouble at critical moments.
No matter how Xu Hao saw Lu Zhi’s smile awkward, he felt that Lu Zhi was just mocking him. He pushed the bowl on the table and said angrily: “Isn’t your company just playing games? Who can’t?”
“E-sports can’t be considered a simple gameplay.”
"Why don't you forget it? E-sports players can be good! Which of your team members can compare to me?"
Lu Zhi was too lazy to say anything, and he smiled at the corner of his mouth. He really didn't want to make things worse in front of his grandparents, so he said, "Then you go to Erxiang for an interview after the Spring Festival."
"You still need an interview?" My aunt was a little unhappy. "You are the leader, can't you say hello?"
Lu Zhi nodded: "Okay, I will tell the Human Resources Department that I lowered my requirements to my cousin."
No matter how you hear this, it seems like an insult. If Xu Hao had a little bit of backbone, he would definitely slam the table and say no. However, his aunt happily agreed, and Xu Hao didn't hear anything wrong. Only his uncle was still sensible and advised: "Haohao, it's not easy for Xiaozhi, so don't bother him in Beijing."
Before Xu Hao could speak, his aunt was unhappy at first and said, "What do you know? Beijing's salary is high! Xiao Zhi doesn't have to work hard. He can earn tens of thousands of dollars a month when playing games every day. Our family is only two or three thousand in two months. Haohao is not as unmotivated as you!" She said, and then looked at Xu Hao: "Mom read the news and said that there are more women in Beijing and there are fewer men in the streets. You can find someone to be my daughter-in-law. If you can find a girl with a house and a Beijing household registration, it will be the best. When you get married, you will have at least two houses, and they will all belong to you."
Xu Ling shook her head and sighed. Lu Zhi's grandparents didn't seem to like to listen to such words, but they didn't say anything. They lowered their heads and picked up food for Lu Zhi. It can be seen that grandparents were often bullied by this woman with a machine gun.
My uncle couldn't help but say to her: "In this case, how can Beijing girls look down on him? I heard that Beijing girls all want to marry big businessmen and rich people."
"What's wrong with Haohao? What's going on? You gave birth to everything!" My aunt said angrily, and then looked at Xu Hao with a kind look, "Our Haohao has girls who have written love letters since childhood. Now it is different from the past. In the past, men had to have good family backgrounds and girls looked good, but now women can make money, so they need good-looking men. What kind of woman does Haohao look like can't be found!"
Xu Ling really couldn't eat it anymore. There was still half of the food in the bowl. She put the chopsticks on the table and said, "My parents, brother and sister-in-law, I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach, so I go back to my room to rest first."
As a woman who has achieved today's achievements through her own abilities, what Xu Ling most despises is this kind of remark. Whether it is a man who wants to live a good life without effort, or a woman who wants to live a good life without effort, these people are the most shameful type in Xu Ling's eyes.
Of course, Lu Zhi, who had been demanding that she "become a strong man", could not bear these remarks from his aunt, but he did not get along with his stomach, and returned to the room after dinner. His grandparents finished eating first in a short while and went out to dance square dance. Only his uncle and his family seemed to have something to say, deliberately kept it for the end.
My aunt couldn't help but waited for someone to leave and said to my uncle: "Lu Zhi is too unconscience. I've heard that his father had a large amount of high interest debt. Now the mother and son dare not go home. If we hadn't taken him in, they would have been wandering on the streets now! As a result, he was unwilling to ask him to recommend a job to Haohao!"
"You're a little bit!" My uncle seemed afraid that Lu Zhi in the room would hear him, so he quickly asked his aunt to whisper, "This house is not yours, it's my parents'. What's wrong with my sister taking her son back to live?"
My aunt glared at him and said, "Oh, what are you arguing with me? You don't think about why we didn't move out for so many years? Isn't it because you don't have the ability to buy a house?"
"you!"
Xu Hao spoke at the right time and said, "Dad, don't argue, I'm not capable, didn't Lu Zhi say I'll submit my resume by myself? I'll just go and submit it."
"Haohao is still strong." My aunt looked at Xu Hao with relief, but she was still a little worried, "But I heard that the company was run by Wang Mingyu, would it be difficult to get in?"
Xu Hao said disrespectfully: "What's the hard thing to get into? I've checked the information of their company. The alu team led by Lu Zhi is playing games. It's either a college student who has not graduated or a gangster who has dropped out of elementary and junior high school. Can't I get into this high-level education?"
My uncle was also a little worried: "On TV, they said that the e-sports teams are all professional and have been trained in playing games. Can you do it?"
Xu Hao glanced at him: "Why can't I do it? Just playing games, elementary school students can do it well. Besides, I'm going to interview the management, not the technical level. I don't believe that all the Erxiang companies are king levels? I tell you that you don't understand. I'll sort out my resume later and submit it to Erxiang!"
The sound insulation effect of this kind of old house is not good, and it is difficult for Lu Zhi to not hear their conversation, but now he can only sigh helplessly.
The employees of Erxiang have not officially started their holiday these days. They usually start their holidays on New Year's Eve. So Xu Hao submitted his resume and quickly received a reply from Erxiang's personnel department: "Sorry, you are not suitable for our company's position. I wish you a new job as soon as possible."
Xu Hao was originally preparing for the New Year happily, but when he received such a result before the New Year, he immediately lost all the happiness of the New Year. However, he also knew that it was him who was rejected by others, so he did not talk about this everywhere. He just kept showing Lu Zhi's face in the next few days, because he always felt that Lu Zhi did not let him go through the back door, which made him so embarrassed.
Lu Zhi endured it all one by one, thinking that he was his cousin, he had never argued with him, otherwise his mother and his grandparents would not have had a good year.
The conflict broke out until the day before New Year's Eve.
That day at the dinner table, Xu Hao shook Lu Zhi's face again. Not only that, he also deliberately sprinkled a spoonful of hot soup on Lu Zhi while serving the soup.
"Oh, Haohao, what's wrong with you?" my aunt asked screaming.
Xu Hao glanced at Lu Zhi and said, "In the past, there were only five people in our family to have dinner, but now there are two more people. It's too crowded. When you touch your arms, you spill the soup."
Xu Ling has been very uncomfortable living under someone else these days. When she saw Xu Hao bullying Lu Zhi like this, she raised her hand and slapped Xu Hao in the face, saying, "Your mother is not capable of educating you, I will educate you for her."
The aunt screamed immediately. Lu Zhi knew that a fierce battle was inevitable. He saw his grandparents' expression of surprise and not knowing how to persuade him. He quickly got up and took his grandparents back to the room to rest, and then came back to say to Xu Ling and his aunt who were quarreling: "Don't argue for you two first."
His voice was extremely cold, and his aunt was shocked. She felt a sense of fear. She looked at Lu Zhi angrily, but she didn't dare to speak.
Lu Zhixian said to Xu Hao: "Xu Hao, I know what the reason you have been targeting these days is that the resume you submitted was rejected by Erxiang? But what do you blame me for? This is obviously your problem. You have not had a job experience in three years of graduation. The competitiveness of your resume is ranked behind students who have just graduated or not. If you really want to have a good job, you insist on doing a good job, which is much better than targeting me."
"What qualifications do you have to say to me? If you don't let me enter Erxiang, aren't you just afraid that I will be better than you than you?" Xu Hao didn't listen to Lu Zhi's words at all, and glared at him with his eyes.
My aunt also spoke, saying, "This is your cousin. You don't want to help you with it at your own expense. What's the point of saying it now? You still have the shameless attitude to continue living in my house. No wonder your dad doesn't want you."
"What your family is, this is my grandparent's house. Even if you want to give it to my uncle in the future, it will not be yours." Lu Zhi was so angry that he laughed and said to Xu Hao: "I don't want to persuade you if you say more, because I know you can't listen, but there is one thing I still want to tell you from the perspective of a relative. You are standing in the quagmire and I am standing on the mountain. You don't want to climb up the mountain and stand side by side with me, but just think about how to drag me down the quagmire, and I tell you clearly that I will not fall to your level."
After Lu Zhi finished speaking, he said to Xu Ling: "Mom, I will go out to live in the next few days. After the New Year's business is stable, I will come to pick you up."
After saying that, Lu Zhi opened the door and went out. Xu Ling hurriedly chased him out, grabbed his arm and said, "Xiao Zhi, where are you going, I'll go with you."
Lu Zhi shook his head and said to Xu Ling: "Mom, think about grandparents. They are old and don't want to see their children not harmonious. You stay to spend the New Year with grandparents. After I leave, my uncle and aunt feel guilty and will definitely not make things difficult for you, so that you can have a stable New Year."
"But you are alone"
"It's okay, I'll find a hotel nearby to see you anytime."
Xu Ling thought about it and thought that it was true. If both of them and their son left now, Lu Zhi's grandparents would definitely feel bad, but if they stayed, the mother and son would definitely cause trouble again.
So she nodded and rubbed Lu Zhi's head with heartache: "Well, after you find the hotel, send me an address."
"I know, I will."
Lu Zhi quickly found the hotel, which was not far from his grandmother's house. As soon as he sent a message to Xu Ling, Lin Momo's video call came in, and Lu Zhi quickly picked up.
After chatting for a while, Lin Momo discovered that the background behind Lu Zhi was different from the previous few days, and asked Lu Zhi where he was now.
Lu Zhi didn't want to hide it from her, so he complained about Lin Momo all the time for the past few days.
