I was reborn without dreams

Chapter 73 Uncle Zhang's Important Instructions
Guan Changsheng, who considers himself a loyal dog of his boss, is quite shrewd. Even though he has decided to stop being human, he still retains a conscience and intentionally or unintentionally takes care of those in his former workplace or family who are experiencing difficulties.

He just no longer shows up in person.

He himself felt quite pathetic...

Before Guan Changsheng was about to ask his boss to recruit Ma Shuang from "Sanxiang Bio", he had chatted with Uncle Zhang and learned that his boss was currently lacking a personal secretary and assistant. At that time, he had a little idea.

While keeping an eye on production safety, Guan Changsheng made a phone call to Zhang Zhengdong.

"Section Chief Zhang, oh dear, it's me, it's me, Guan Changsheng. Oh, you mentioned it to me before, right? The boss is so busy with his business now, he's always on business trips. I heard the branch school construction is progressing very smoothly, he'll definitely be traveling back and forth a lot in the future. To be honest, I heard you say, Section Chief Zhang, that the boss takes care of all his own food and lodging, and I'm really worried about it. How can a scholar like the boss be without someone to help him serve tea, water, and coffee..."

"pimp?"

"..."

Uncle Zhang was very direct and hit the nail on the head.

This left Guan Changsheng speechless; his uncle, who was a living Wenquxing (a legendary figure associated with literature and scholarship), was rather straightforward.

However, this is the reason why Guan Changsheng was willing to communicate with Zhang Zhengdong first. He felt completely relaxed and at ease dealing with a bureaucrat like Zhang Zhengdong.

There's no oppressive feeling of power coercion that's suffocating.

"Don't say things like that..."

"Hahahahahaha..."

Uncle Zhang's unrestrained laughter made Guan Changsheng laugh along with him.

“Just tell me what kind of person he is, Mr. Guan. Don’t be so polite with me. I’m not Zhang An, I can’t just say whatever comes to mind. I’m genuinely helping him find someone to do his cleaning and grooming. You have no idea how casual he is, always in sportswear, he’s crazy, he doesn’t look like a big boss at all. Although he is a little younger than average, he doesn’t look like he’s eighteen or nineteen, right? With a trimmed beard and a new hairstyle, he looks quite good…”

Uncle Zhang started nagging like an old woman, but Guan Changsheng didn't get impatient listening to him. On the contrary, he felt that the boss and Section Chief Zhang really had a good relationship.

After Zhang Zhengdong finished his tirade, Guan Changsheng asked, "So... Section Chief Zhang, do you need a nanny or an assistant?"

"He does have secretaries, but they're all teaching assistants at the school, so they don't really count. In my opinion, a nanny is enough. If she can help him choose clothes and keep him well-behaved every day, then a personal assistant would be just as good. I've seen those celebrities who come to Shazhou Guangdang, they all have personal assistants. They leave everything to their assistants, like choosing clothes, doing makeup, and all sorts of other miscellaneous things."

"So... are there any requirements?"

Guan Changsheng asked the core question.

Uncle Zhang on the other end of the phone also fell into an unusual silence.

He was thinking, he was recalling, and then Uncle Zhang discovered that the greyhound Zongsang (the beast) had once said "the more the better".

But that's not the main point. "The more the merrier" is just a supplement; first and foremost, they have to be "good-looking"...

"Section Chief Zhang?"

"Oh, oh... good-looking, must be good-looking. It's best if the person is hardworking, has a clean background, and most importantly, must be beautiful."

"..."

No, bro... he's just really straightforward.

Is there no consideration for talent?

No, not at all!
Uncle Zhang subtly emphasized the importance of "beauty" to Guan Changsheng, implying that "kindness" was irrelevant. Given the Zhang family's social environment, and not to brag, Zhang Zhengdong believed that even someone with an "unkind heart" would become kind. His sister-in-law and brother's wife were incredibly filial to their father.

It had nothing to do with the old man's savings of about 200,000 yuan before.

It has nothing to do with the fact that the old man only smokes "Hua Zi" cigarettes now.

"Well... Section Chief Zhang, should I take a look at your resume later and fax it over?"

"Anything is fine, anything is fine..."

That's what they said, but Guan Changsheng still planned to deliver it personally, since he still needed to mention poaching Ma Shuang to the boss, so he figured he could just make it one trip instead of two.

Uncle Zhang was also thinking about how to communicate with his eldest nephew. After much thought, he first talked to his wife.

That evening, Uncle Zhang happily took Teacher Li shopping. As they strolled hand in hand, Uncle Zhang brought up the matter with Teacher Li: "Wenwen, what do you think about assigning Zhang An a few personal assistants?"

"Huh? Doesn't he have secretaries? Zhao Yiwan and Qian Xiaoshuang, don't they usually take them with them when they go on business trips?"

"That's only when they're not busy! Don't Xiao Zhao and Xiao Qian have regular jobs? They have ambitions too; they want to get a Level 1 Lecturer qualification certificate. Besides, a personal assistant and a secretary are two different things. Does Zhang An really have to do laundry himself? His time is precious. What a loss it is to waste it on something like this! A loss of hundreds of thousands or even millions a day."

Uncle Zhang couldn't figure this out before, but every time the bureau held a meeting, they would mention that Chairman Zhang Da'an's time was very valuable...

Even if you didn't understand then, you do now.

"Should we go to a housekeeping company? Or should we just find a few aunties in the village?"

"What are you thinking? He's an adult now, it's time for him to think about his children and grandchildren. He can't be like me, getting married in his forties..."

"..."

Ms. Li chatted with her husband for a while, and when she heard him say that Mr. Guan from Jiangning was helping to find a suitable candidate, she immediately adjusted her glasses and said coldly, "Zhang An is your nephew. I don't care if he finds a thousand or ten thousand women. If you're having affairs outside, we'll get a divorce."

"Are you out of your mind? If I were to be involved in philandering, would I have waited until today? I used to be the principal of Dongweigang Middle School. Years ago, I would have given the bureau hundreds of thousands of yuan. More than ten years ago, I could easily have given away hundreds of thousands of yuan. What kind of women wouldn't I have? Don't be so crazy. I am who I am, and Zhang An is Zhang An. I am an upright person and can withstand any test!"

"Oh, don't get so excited. I'm just worried that if you become successful, you might have some ulterior motives."

"Idiot."

"..."

Uncle Zhang was grumbling and swearing, but Teacher Li was good at coaxing her husband. She ran to the beverage shop on the pedestrian street, bought two small cups of sweet water, inserted straws, and fed them to him.

After taking a sip, Uncle Zhang hummed in agreement and said, "You know, Zhang An lost both his parents when he was young. My sister-in-law's family hasn't visited even once in over ten years. Damn it... cough um, anyway, all these years have passed, and he's not exactly normal anyway, so let him be. Let him find as many women as he wants. As long as I don't help him bully men and women, that's fine. He's not a menace... he shouldn't be."

After saying that, Uncle Zhang seemed a little unsure and said in a low voice, "Let's wait for Guan Changsheng's news. He'll probably come to Shazhou in the next day or two. You can help him vet the people he meets. It's not appropriate for me, as his uncle, to get involved in this kind of thing. You, as his aunt, are more suitable."

"It sounds like something a matchmaker would say..."

Ms. Li angrily took a bite of the straw, then took a deep drag. She felt a slight sense of crisis. She used to think that her husband was just an old man, but now he was definitely on the verge of becoming a "diamond bachelor".

She didn't care what happened to her nephew, but she had to keep a close watch on her own husband...
