My Ares Son-in-Law

Zhang Ju was waiting for this question from Zhang Ziren.

He smiled and said smugly, "Brother Ziren is absolutely right. My previous company not only did not perform well, but also cut my salary, so I found a better job! My current company is Northern Real Estate. I have a very good relationship with one of their project managers, and he has already arranged the same job for me, but with double the salary!"

"Northern Real Estate, that's a huge company! And it's famous all over the country. Not bad, Zhang Ju. Talented people are always in demand. You're really going to take off from here. Don't forget your brother here! If you get any business, give our family a share!"

Liu Yu hurriedly explained that, on one hand, he wanted to praise Zhang Ju, and on the other hand, he genuinely wanted to attract some business.

It's really hard for a family business to survive without someone looking after it.

Zhang Ju smiled smugly, glancing at Zhou Keying out of the corner of his eye, wanting to see her reaction. After all, he was so outstanding, Zhou Keying must have always admired and respected him, and might even have tried to please him.

The Zhou Group has been having a tough time lately. If they could curry favor with this real estate guy from the north, they might get some business.

Zhou Keying actually reacted.

Instead of admiration and envy, she was surprised: "I didn't expect that you would also be working for Northern Real Estate. I just submitted my resume to Northern Real Estate, and maybe we'll become colleagues in the future."

Zhang Ju became even more excited upon hearing this: "Miss Zhou is also going to Northern Real Estate? Don't worry, I'm familiar with Manager Huang. I'll just give him a little talk, and I guarantee you'll pass the assessment. With your abilities and qualifications, you'll definitely be better off at Northern Real Estate than you are now!"

Zhou Keying smiled and said, "Then there's no need for that. I believe that with my resume and abilities, I should have no problem getting into Northern Real Estate. If they don't like me, then it just means that I'm not meant to be with Northern Real Estate, so there's no need to make a fool of myself."

She clearly sensed that Zhang Ju's intentions were not pure, so she didn't want to have too much interaction with this man.

After all, she's never going to choose just one company. She's submitted her resume to both Xinmeng Group and Dansheng Group. We'll see how things go from here.

After all, given her abilities, she is qualified to choose companies, rather than companies choosing her.

Zhang Ju's expression turned noticeably unpleasant upon hearing Zhou Keying's words; he could tell from her aloof and distant attitude.

He couldn't say anything to Zhou Keying, after all, she was still the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, and he couldn't afford to offend her too much. But Xiao Chen was different; he could now confirm that Xiao Chen was just a good-for-nothing pretty boy, at best good at fighting.

Anyone can fight. He can easily call a bunch of his brothers with just one phone call. Why would he be afraid of a mere Xiao Chen?
Thinking of this, he looked at Xiao Chen and sneered, "Your name is Xiao Chen, right? I'm not trying to be mean, but you're a grown man, and you don't look like you're missing any limbs, yet you let your woman go out and find work? A man like you doesn't deserve to be Miss Zhou's boyfriend. I think you should just back out!"

Before Xiao Chen could speak, Liu Yu chimed in again: "I think Brother Zhang Ju is right. Xiao, you're a grown man, and you've lived to this extent. You're really a failure. If you really can't find a job, our family business is short-staffed. Why don't you come over here and I'll let you work as a security guard? At least you'll make four or five thousand a month. It's better than being a gigolo."

Zhou Keying's expression changed. She could tolerate others criticizing her, but she wouldn't stand for it when it came to Xiao Chen. After all, Xiao Chen had helped the Zhou family many times, and she couldn't bear to see her benefactor humiliated like this. However, before she could speak, Xiao Chen interrupted, "I didn't know you two, and I was too lazy to waste my breath on you two idiots. For Zhang Ziren's sake, I won't lay a hand on you. But you'd better apologize to me right now, or I guarantee one of your family businesses will go bankrupt, and the other will never be able to find any work in the Western Region again!"

Seeing that Xiao Chen was angry, Zhang Ziren hurriedly said, "Mr. Xiao, please don't be angry. It was my fault today. I didn't invite them. They came on their own. I'm sorry for upsetting you. I'll make them leave right away!"

Immediately, he looked at Liu Yu and Zhang Ju and said, "Please leave, you two. Although my business is not big, I have no interest in making friends with you two. Mr. Xiao is the honored guest today. The banquet I hosted today was for Mr. Xiao. You two came uninvited. I asked you to stay because I didn't want to offend you, but I can't stand you humiliating my honored guest!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yu was stunned: "Zhang Ziren, who the hell do you think you are, looking down on me? If my dad hadn't insisted on making me come, do you think I would care about you, a small business owner? You just run a shabby antique shop, what's so great about that?"

"You have absolutely no skills, but you're really good at showing off. What a piece of trash!"

Zhang Ju also sneered, "Brother Liu is right. Zhang Ziren, you probably have some problems with your head. That Xiao Chen is just a poor loser who lives off women. Without Zhou Keying, he's nothing. You actually offended us for his sake. I don't think you want to stay in the provincial capital anymore."

Zhang Ziren's face darkened: "Get lost! It's none of your business where I, Zhang Ziren, am. You two know nothing, yet you think you're so important, daring to insult Mr. Xiao! In front of him, you are nothing but a fart!"

"Hey, Zhang Ziren, you think I'm going to leave now? I'm not leaving! Even though my dad told me not to offend you, I'm in a really bad mood. You better apologize to me right now, or I'll beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you!"

Liu Yu stared at Zhang Ziren and sneered.

Zhang Ju also said, "Zhang Ziren, I think you'd better apologize quickly. You don't know Liu Yu's temper. If he's really angry, no one can stop him, not even me. Apologize to avoid getting hurt!"

"Apologize? Ha! You guys offended my guests today, and you expect me to apologize? That's utterly ridiculous! If you've got the guts, let him hit me. It's not like I've never been hit before. The last person who hit me is crippled now. If he wants to be crippled too, then come and hit me!"

An apology is absolutely out of the question. Zhang Ziren felt that he had done nothing wrong by protecting Xiao Chen; the mistakes were made by Zhang Ju and Liu Yu.

"You think you're so great, huh?"

Liu Yu suddenly picked up a cup from the table and smashed it at Zhang Ziren, completely forgetting her father's words.

Zhang Ziren didn't expect Liu Yuzhen to dare to make a move. He didn't have time to dodge and watched helplessly as the cup smashed towards his forehead.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from the side and grabbed the cup. (End of Chapter)
