Power of Money

Chapter 69

The middle- aged couple were relatives of Jason.

The woman was Jason's second aunt, Hannah Qin, and his uncle was called Jim Wu. They were junior high school teachers and civil servants of the Nandu New District respectively. They were the most wealthy family in the Qins.

Therefore, they had always looked down upon Jason's family who were in the countryside. And because the two had an stable job respectively, they felt that they were superior to others. They never take relatives like Jason seriously.

However, it was completely Jason's parents' request for him to come today.

Tomorrow night, their plane would arrive in Nandu. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Jason's father, Andy Qin, had not seen his sister for a long time. Naturally, he wanted to take this opportunity to have a good time with his sister. He asked Jason to invite her in person so that her family would not be angry.

At this moment, Hannah finished her dishes and walked over. She sat beside Jason and asked, "Are you really not going to be a civil servant?"

Jason nodded and said, "Normal life as a civil servant may not be suitable for me. I still want to expand my career by myself. After all, I'm still young, and have time."

Hannah and Jim looked at each other and saw the contempt in each other's eyes.

"What's there to take a risk for? Even if you make five million yuan in business, can you be comparable to a civil servant?" Jim laughed.

"Yes, Jason, we are all relatives. As your aunt, how can we lie to you? Is there any job be better than civil servants and teachers now? Look at my Sarah, when you were still thinking about getting a job after graduation, she had already prepared for the civil service examination by listening to her father and me,. She had been able to be a civil servant in a town after graduation. In less than two years, your uncle could socialize, she could be able to transerred to the district or even in the city government. What about you then? You were still working in a private enterprise at that time, working as a coolie. What future can you have?"

Hannah smiled complacently. On the surface, she was trying to persuade Jason, but in reality, she was flattering her own daughter in

order to show off.

"Yes, Aunt is right." Jason said awkwardly.

"It's no use talking to him. Do you think it's easy to pass the civil service examination, that you can get it whenever you want? That requires both education and ability. It's good enough that our Wu Family can have one Sarah. After two years, she can gain a firm foothold in her position. If Jason hasn't found a good job yet, we can ask Sarah to find someone to arrange a job for him. It's always better than going back to the countryside. You will have no future for the rest of our lives."

Jim drank tea and glanced at Jason with a disgusted look.

He had always looked down upon Jason's family. They were all from rural area. At critical moments, they could do nothing but borrow money. Unlike his own family, they all came from government units. His uncle was section chief, and the Qin's, who were poor, could not be compared with them at all.

"That's right. When Jason first went to college, I had advised my sister-in-law that in such a family, why should he need to go to the college? The tuition fee was so high, and she had to borrow money

everywhere. But now you see, Jason still couldn't find a job. If she listened to me and let Jason work in the

factory instead of unversity, he could at least save some money. Jason could go back to his hometown to mend the house and marry a country wife. What's the point of struggling?" Hannah felt that her sister-in-law didn't listen to her at that time, and now she was at a disadvantage.

In fact, Jason knew very well that once they met on festivals, his second aunt and uncle would use his studies to make trouble for his parents. But this time, since his parents didn't come, they had to take advantage of him.

For this so-called family affection, Jason was also very speechless.

But he had no choice. His father attached great importance to this feeling, so he could only do as he was told.

"By the way, Jason, you're going to graduate soon. Where are you living now? Where are you renting a house?" Jim suddenly asked.

"Well, I am now living in Jade Valley, and I live alone." Jason replied honestly. Anyway, when his parents came to Nandu, his uncle would meet them in the villa, so there was nothing to hide.

"Jade Valley?" Jim was stunned. "Where is this place? I don't seem to have heard of it. Hannah, do you know where it is?"

Hannah was also stunned for a while before

she patted her thigh and said, "I know, it's in the Southern City. It's a very upscale villa district. The wife of Director Liu of our school lives there. The house price is expensive. The cheapest villa will cost at least two or three million yuan. Jason, why did you go to that kind of place to live?"

Jim also became serious when he heard this. He sat up and looked at Jason with serious look. He lectured, "Jason, you can live without money and power, but you have to be down-to-earth. With your current economic situation, it will be very good if you could just rent an apartment. How can you afford such an expensive community? To be honest, where do you live now?"

"I really live in Jade Valley. If you don't believe it, you'll know when my parents come tomorrow," Jason said helplessly.

"Oh, I know. You're a salesman in that community, aren't you?" Hannah had a look of understanding. "Salesman it is. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Besides, the real estate is so hot now, and those who sell houses can make a lot of money. Maybe after ten or eight years, you'll be able to pay a down payment in the suburb of Nandu. At least you can also be a native here, and don't have to go back to the countryside."

Jim also breathed a sigh of relief and nodded

slightly, "Yes, jobs are equal. Although you can't buy a residential district like your second aunt's, people have to see their own strength clearly. According to the situation of your family, you can save some money, sell your house in the hometown, and make a down payment in the suburbs for a small property in Nandu. It will be good."

The family said one by one. Jason became impatient.

At this time, the sound of the key turning came from the door. The door was pushed open and a girl in a loose black uniform came in.

The girl looked almost the same age as Jason, but her face was full of maturity and rationality. What was most eye-catching was the black suit pants and shirts that obviously did not match her figure. She had been dressed very old- fashioned, so she looked like she was in her thirties, even though she was just in her early twenties.

"Hey, Sarah, you're back. Why are you working so late today? Have you eaten? If you want to eat something, I'll cook it for you now."

When she saw the girl entering the door, Hannah immediately welcomed her warmly, helped take down her bag, with all sorts of concern.

"Yes, I've had it. Today, I had dinner with Chief Wang of the Education Bureau. We talked about the reconstruction of the countryside primary school."

The girl walked into the house with no expression on her face, but when she saw another person in the house, she frowned, "Jason, why are you here?"

The girl's name was Sarah Wu, and she was Hannah's daughter. By right, she should address Jason as "cousin".

"Oh, your cousin has nothing to do today, so he paid a visit. I won't delay your rest. But you just said that you had dinner with Chief Wang of the teaching department. Is the Chief Wang in his thirties, and was in charge of the management of the countryside of school buildings?"

Hannah was a teacher at the school, so she remembered the names of many leaders of the Education Bureau very clearly.

"Yes, it's him." Sarah nodded.

"Take a look!" Hannah praised her daughter, but she glanced at Jason from time to time, "This is the difference between civil servants and ordinary people. Who is Chief Wang? There are so many people queuing up to invite him to have a meal, but they didn't make it. Look at our Sarah, just a few days at

work, and she was able to have a meal with Chief Wang and discuss the construction of rural buildings. Our Sarah is really capable. Your father and I will be able to enjoy your blessing in the

future!"

Sarah also said proudly, "That's right. There are a total of 100 people who took part in the contest in the town, but I am the only one who passed it. The town leaders pay much attention to me. They will let me connect with Chief Wang in the future with the rural education project."

With this, Sarah looked down at Jason from a high position and said, "Jason, I heard that you will graduate soon, and you won't take the civil service examination. What's more, you can't even find an internship in a company. How about this? When our project begins, I can talk to Chief Wang, so you will be appointed as an foreman or a supervisor. You don't have to work much, just need to guard the construction site and watch the door. It's 2,000 yuan a month. Are you willing to do it or not?"
