Chapter 843 He Hit Someone
"You...you're not a fraud?"
Huh? Xiao Qin was a little confused. Who was this person on the other end? Why was he being specially recruited by the company leadership? This guy was obviously a bit slow on the uptake!
"Sir, are you Diao Nan?" Xiao Qin felt he needed to confirm!
"That's right, Diao from Diao Nan, and Nan from Diao Nan!"
Okay, it's him now. And it's also confirmed that he's definitely not very bright!
"Mr. Diao, once you've received and confirmed our offer, you can come to the company tomorrow to complete your onboarding process."
"Starting tomorrow? That's way too fast!" After confirming several times that she had indeed been accepted, Diao Nan hung up the phone and let out a long, loud scream! The sound startled passersby who jumped up in surprise!
"Are you crazy?!"
"Damn it, anyone who didn't know better would think the enemy was bombing us!"
Diao Chan felt ashamed; what was wrong with her cousin?
"Xiao Chan, Xiao Chan, lunch is on me! Lunch is on me!"
"You're a grown man eating with us, so you should be the one to pay!" She said this with a hint of joking, and she didn't really intend for Diao Nan to treat her!
"No, no, I've been accepted by Zhifei Aerospace! I've been accepted! From today onwards, I'm a high-level white-collar worker—"
Number 23 curiously poked his head over: "You must make over 1 a month, right?"
"Twenty thousand more than ten thousand!"
Wow!
"Xiao Chan, your cousin is amazing! No wonder he graduated from a prestigious university; he offered a salary of over 3 yuan right off the bat. And it's from a big company like Zhifei Aerospace! That's incredible!"
"Yes, yes. A monthly salary of over 3 yuan—that's the dream of so many people. Knowledge truly does change one's destiny!"
In Qianqian's Audi A3, a group of people were chattering about Diao Nan's new job. Diao Chan was happy that her cousin had found a job, but still modestly remarked on his behalf, "It was just pure luck!"
Sister Juan turned around from the passenger seat: "You can't say that. He's still capable. Take your General Manager Chen, for example. He works at Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group, which is a bigger company than Zhifei Aerospace, but his salary is only a little over 1 yuan, isn't it?"
Compared to him, Chen Xiao really does seem like nothing!
Diao Chan frowned slightly, even ignoring the teasing remark, "Your General Manager Chen." She retorted, "That's different. He works in sales, and sales mainly rely on bonuses. Besides, he has other businesses outside, so he has some income. Maybe he's not as lucky as my cousin, but he's definitely smarter!"
"Hehe, Xiao Chan, I think I've figured it out. That President Chen has quite a high status with you."
Diao Chan lowered her head and remained silent, thinking of Chen Xiao, who had been in a cold war with her ever since their last unpleasant encounter! Now he wouldn't even look for her at Tianchi Hot Spring.
"Speaking of Mr. Chen, he's been quite lucky..."
Diao Chan, who had been looking down at her phone, looked up, wondering what Sister Juan was talking about this time!
Do you know why Tianchi Hot Spring closed for renovations?
They were all company employees and had some inside information, so they naturally knew that it was because the rooftop casino had been reported by concerned citizens!
"You all know that General Manager Chen and Old Cha came that day, and they were accompanied by Number 88 and Number 58, right?"
Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about? Qianqian looked at Diao Chan and found that her expression hadn't changed at all. She wondered if Diao Chan had any grudge against Chen Xiao for looking for Number 88!
"Why are you looking at me? People pay to come here and can go to whoever they want. I'm nobody to them," Diao Chan said, sensitive to Qianqian's gaze.
Sister Juan glanced at her and said, "You guys are so lucky! President Chen and Lao Cha went to the top floor that day, and they supposedly won nearly 200 million, winning back all the money they lost in the boss's private room!"
"They went to the top floor?" Diao Chan's heart tightened, but then she remembered that she had just run into Lao Cha, so it seemed that nothing had happened that day, which put her at ease!
"I later heard that General Manager Chen gave each of the number 88 and number 58 a chip of 2!"
"So stingy and generous! This guy will never save any money in his life—" Diao Chan said irritably. She had been worried sick about him when she heard he had lost over a million yuan downstairs. But now, he's backed up some of his initial investment and is acting like a big shot!
"Later, Mr. Chen and Lao Cha left! Number 88 and Number 58 continued playing upstairs. I heard that the two of them won tens of thousands again. They felt that their luck was off the charts and were ready to gamble their fortunes when Uncle Hat came in! Not only were their principal and interest confiscated, but they were also arrested and given a lecture. This is truly a case of joy turning into sorrow!"
"You little devil!" Diao Chan muttered with a low laugh, unaware that she was actually relieved that he had been able to leave Tianchi Hot Spring earlier that day!
We ate lunch at a farmhouse restaurant in the suburbs, which is more than an hour's drive from the city.
"Qianqian, you really know how to eat! You travel this far just to have a meal."
Qianqian chuckled, "I'm from Jiangzhou, so of course I know where to find good food. Let me tell you, not only is the food at 'Manyuan' restaurant today delicious, but the decor is also very rustic, giving you a taste of what rural life is like—"
After saying that, he added to Diao Chan in the rearview mirror, "Xiao Chan, if you hadn't come today, I definitely wouldn't have driven this far. The main thing was to let you experience it!"
Diao Chan didn't even look up: "My family is from the countryside, and I've experienced it for over 20 years. What else do I need to experience?"
Qianqian was speechless for a moment.
The car turned into the parking lot of [Manyuan], and Diao Nan's Volkswagen POLO followed closely behind and parked on the side!
"Yes, yes—the environment here is great. I feel refreshed and my appetite is doubled as soon as I get here!" Diao Nan was in a great mood today!
"Cousin, you're treating today, why are you eating so much? It's a waste of money! If you get fat, you'll have to spend money on dieting again later!"
Diao Nan chuckled. This wasn't the first time he'd experienced his cousin's sharp tongue!
"It's okay, it's okay! From today onwards, I can shout 'I'm rich!'"
The group entered [Manyuan] together. As soon as they entered, Diao Nan asked the waiter, "Do you have any private rooms?"
Diao Chan looked at him speechlessly: "Are you sick? Are you acting in a skit? And you call that a private room!"
Unexpectedly, the waiter replied, "I'm sorry, sir, the entire first floor of our [Guanhailou] restaurant has been booked by a group of guests!"
There really are private booths? [Guanhailou]?
Qianqian explained regretfully, and they then learned that the restaurant had a view room on the third floor where you could dine while enjoying the sea view. When Diao Nan mentioned a private room, the waitress mistakenly assumed it was that room. Little did she know that Diao Nan was just joking because she was happy to have gotten a good job that day.
"He booked the whole place by himself? That's too domineering!" Diao Nan had just found a new job and was feeling a bit arrogant!
Well, today is not the weekend and it's lunchtime, so [Manyuan] won't be full. The customers want peace and quiet and are willing to use their "money power," so of course the owner won't refuse!
"It's alright, we can just find a private room to eat in. If we want to see the sea, can't we go to the beach?" Diao Chan was the type of person who didn't like to argue about anything. Besides, we could eat anywhere.
"Alright, find us a private room—" Diao Nan waved her hand, indicating she wouldn't argue anymore. "You guys go to the private room first, I'll go order with her."
Diao Chan and the others didn't think much of it and followed the waiter's directions to the private room.
As soon as they sat down, all of their phones rang at the same time.
"They're on holiday, but the work group chat is still buzzing." Qianqian muttered, then suddenly let out a scream!
"What are you doing? What are you doing? There's a rat!" Sister Juan jumped up in fright.
"No, no, look at the group chat—"
Upon hearing this, the group simultaneously opened their work group chat, which contained a notification from HR!
[Notice to all: Due to company closure for renovations, the reopening date is yet to be confirmed. After company review, it has been decided that during the closure period, each employee will receive a subsidy of 5000-20000 yuan based on their company rating!]
"Wow, we've received some goodies! This happiness is so sudden and unbelievable!"
"Yes, the minimum is at least 5000 yuan..."
After the initial excitement, No. 23 suddenly turned to Diao Chan: "Why do I feel like the company only introduced this policy because you refused to accept the guaranteed 2 yuan?"
"Yes, yes—", recalling the conversation between the HR director and Diao Chan in the car earlier. Although it's unbelievable, it's hard not to think about it.
"You guys really think I'm something special? Just because I don't want it, the company will give everyone a paycheck? You might as well guess the boss's lost his mind!" It's a bit of a coincidence, but to say it's because of me is absolutely impossible.
"That's true. The company is usually so stingy. Even if Xiao Chan is popular, it's not like they would give money to the whole company just to make her earn money. That's completely contrary to the boss's public image!"
"No matter what, they even pay you for rest. Even a company like Zhifei Aerospace wouldn't do that, right?"
"Zhifei Aerospace? We'll find out by asking Xiaochan after her cousin starts working. Let's also check out the benefits and compensation of a big company!"
"Hey, where's your cousin?" I was so focused on talking about the paid leave the company gave me that I suddenly remembered that Diao Nan had been gone to order food for ten minutes and hadn't come back yet.
Just then, the waiter who had served them earlier came over to deliver cold dishes, and Diao Chan asked, "Where is that gentleman from earlier?"
After ordering, he said he wanted to take a walk in the garden.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than someone outside shouted, "Someone's being attacked! Someone's being attacked!"
Diao Chan suddenly had a bad feeling. Her cousin had been a "bad boy" since he was a child. He had been beaten countless times because of his mouth!
She quickly stood up and walked outside, with Qianqian and the others following her.
Outside, waiters were shouting; this was a rural restaurant with no security. Even the owner came running out, yelling, "Stop fighting! Stop fighting—"
When Diao Chan and the others came out, they saw a man tumbling down the wooden steps of the detached building, Guanhailou. It was none other than Diao Nan!
My goodness, Diao Chan was speechless. The entire Guanhai Tower was booked out, what was he doing there?
But at this moment, the priority is to solve the problem, not to blame him. He hurried towards Diao Nan, just then hearing a familiar male voice from upstairs: "Idiot, if you keep swearing, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Diao Chan looked up upon hearing this and met the gaze of the man above her.
"Ah~! Diao Chan!"
"Mr. Ma?"
The man upstairs was Chen Xiao's friend, Ma Jian! Sister Juan and Qianqian also knew each other!
"Ma Jian, stop hitting him!" Another petite figure appeared behind Ma Jian. Diao Chan recognized her; it was Xiao Ru, the girl Ma Jian had been pursuing recently!
"Hey? Diao Chan?" Xiao Ru greeted her, then followed Ma Jian downstairs.
Diao Nan's eyes widened: "Xiao Chan, you two know each other?" He was bruised and swollen from the fall, and there was even a black mark at the corner of his eye!
Diao Chan frowned, "You can even cause trouble by ordering a dish!" Then she turned to Ma Jian apologetically and said, "Mr. Ma, this is my cousin!"
She didn't need to ask to know where the problem lay; it must be Diao Nan's curiosity that got the better of him! This guy had been beaten a lot for this when he was a kid.
That's exactly what happened today. He ordered takeout, but couldn't resist his curiosity and went up to [Guanhailou]! As soon as he got upstairs, he saw a petite beauty and couldn't help but blurt out, "Damn, a baby face with huge breasts!"
Then he got beaten up.
If Diao Chan hadn't intervened, and if Xiao Ru hadn't been there, Ma Jian would have beaten this guy to death today. He's completely infatuated with Xiao Ru right now; how could he tolerate any other man disrespecting her!
Upon hearing that it was Diao Chan's cousin, Ma Jian became a little more reserved. He still had to give Diao Chan face; he always felt that Chen Xiao treated this person differently, at least as a very good friend!
Xiaoru walked over apologetically: "Do you want to go up to the [Guanhai Tower]? I just mentioned Ma Jian; he insisted on booking the whole floor. What a waste of money!"
Ma Jian scratched his head. If it were anyone else, he really wouldn't compromise. But Diao Chan? "How about we go upstairs together?"
"No need, we're fine downstairs!" she said, not wanting to be a third wheel. Ma Jian and Xiao Ru didn't insist and turned to go upstairs.
Are you alright?
Diao Nan limped as she followed them back to the private room.
"I think I twisted my ankle. I might not be able to drive tomorrow!!"
I'm really exasperated by him. I'm supposed to go back for my cousin's wedding tomorrow, and this has to happen. "Go to the hospital for a checkup later. If you can't go back, then don't go back at all—"
"My headache isn't going home for the wedding banquet, it's how I'm going to get to work!"
Diao Chan was too lazy to pay attention to him. Wasn't this asking for trouble? But she couldn't help worrying that if she lost her job because of this, it would be too much of a loss!
"And Xiao Chan, what was that guy doing just now? He was so pretentious, having to book an entire floor just to go out for a meal!"
"I've opened a few snack shops, but the business isn't huge!" Diao Chan completely believed Ma Jian's self-introduction! "But he's a boss, after all, he's definitely better than you!" Her cousin had achieved some success, and he was getting cocky. She deliberately reminded him to keep a low profile!
"That's not necessarily true. Being a boss is risky, nothing is as stable as mine. Let me tell you, my monthly salary of 3 is just the base salary. We also have various bonuses, especially the year-end bonus, which I've heard is very high!"
Moreover, Zhifei Aerospace is still in a period of rapid development, and there are plenty of opportunities there. Maybe next time you see me, I'll be the director of a research institute! (End of Chapter)
