As he spoke, Yue Peng glanced sideways at Yue Jianhua and said meaningfully:

"Uncle, your old house is nice, but the location is just too low."

I guess they didn't see anything big last night.

The implication behind these words was clearly that the speaker looked down on Yue Jianhua's old villa.

Yue Jianhua didn't catch the hidden meaning in the words and waved his hand with a smile:

"I'm too old. I'm asleep when they set off fireworks, so it doesn't matter whether I watch them or not."

Upon hearing this, Yue Peng's breath hitched.

He felt like he'd punched a cotton ball, finding it rather uninteresting.

Then he tried to justify himself by saying:

"If it weren't for the city's strict enforcement this year, prohibiting private individuals from setting off fireworks..."

Last night, I absolutely had to join in the fun.

Yue Xin, who was sitting to the side, heard this.

The scene of Cao Kun renting out a venue for her to set off fireworks last night involuntarily flashed into her mind.

I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Yue Peng was a little confused by the laughter and gave her a strange look.

Xu Lili frowned and gave a disdainful snort.

She thought to herself, "What's so great about a woman who became the boss's mistress?"

Just as the atmosphere was becoming somewhat awkward.

Zhao Wanru's voice came from the kitchen: "Old man, come in and help me cook something!"

Yue Jianhua quickly responded and got up to go into the kitchen.

After he left, the atmosphere in the living room relaxed a bit.

Yue Jianguo, holding his teacup, casually asked:

Where is Xiao Cao working now?

How much do you earn each month?

Cao Kun sensed the probing in the other person's words, found it amusing, and casually gave a vague reply:

"I work at Kunlun Capital. My monthly salary is decent, just enough to make ends meet."

"Kunlun Capital?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Jianguo's eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily:

"Like attracts like!"

"Oh? What do you mean?" Cao Kun asked, being quite accommodating.

Yue Jianguo proudly pointed to his daughter-in-law, Xu Lili, and boasted:

"You don't know, Lily's family relatives..."

That's the CEO of your Kunlun Capital!

Haha, so this is practically your boss now!

Upon hearing this, Xu Lili immediately waved her hand, feigning modesty, and said coquettishly:

"Oh, Dad, how many times have I told you this?"

I need to keep my relationship with my brother as low-key as possible.

Never tell strangers anything.

He's now the general manager of Kunlun Capital, holding a high position of power.

What if someone with ulterior motives overhears this?

Trying to climb the social ladder and use connections is such a bad idea.

Her words clearly implied that she viewed Cao Kun as someone with "ulterior motives."

Cao Kun smiled nonchalantly, unconcerned.

His surname is Xu, and he is said to be a relative of the boss.

After a moment's thought, Cao Kun roughly understood.

I guess Xu Lili and Xu Lin are related by some means.

However, Cao Kun had never heard Xu Lin mention having such a younger sister before.

The two are probably just distant cousins ​​who have no real connection, and their relationship isn't that great.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Cao Kun casually replied with an "oh," which was considered his response.

Xu Lili originally thought that Cao Kun, a low-level employee, would be surprised to hear that she was a relative of the general manager.

They have to fawn over them and say a few flattering words.

Cao Kun simply responded with a flat "yes".

They showed absolutely no shock or fawning.

This unexpected reaction startled Xu Lili.

The scene became somewhat awkward for a moment.

In an attempt to break the deadlock, the two sides chatted for a while longer.

Having laid the groundwork, Yue Jianguo cleared his throat and revealed his true purpose for coming today.

"Niece, actually, your uncle came here this time..."

I shamelessly came to you for help.

Yue Jianguo looked at Yue Xin and said.

Yue Xin had a bad feeling, but she still asked politely:

"What is it? Uncle, please tell me."

"Actually, it's not a big deal."

It's about finding a job for Xiaopeng.

He's not young anymore.

They've all settled down and started families.

"We can't just hang out aimlessly all day."

Yue Jianguo said with a straight face:

"We just want him to find a decent job."

I heard you got promoted and are now the president of Jinning Bank.

Why don't you just give Xiaopeng any position in your bank?

Our requirements aren't high; we don't need to stay at head office.

Just pick any small branch with good performance below.

Just give him a position as a bank manager or deputy manager, and that'll be fine.

Upon hearing this outrageous request, Yue Xin's lips twitched involuntarily.

She frowned slightly and asked:

Uncle, if I remember correctly...

Xiaopeng's educational background, I think it's a junior college diploma?

Upon hearing this, Yue Jianguo's face immediately fell, and he said somewhat displeased:

"What's wrong with junior college? Are you looking down on junior college graduates?"

Although my son Xiaopeng only has a junior college diploma, he still graduated from a proper economics college.

He also studied accounting, which is a good match for the nature of your bank job!

Upon hearing this, Yue Xin helplessly rubbed her forehead and patiently explained:

"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to help Xiaopeng."

The main reason is that all employees at Jinning Bank are now state-owned enterprise employees, and all new hires must pass an exam.

Moreover, even the smallest branch manager at the bottom,

The appointment also needs to be publicly announced internally.

It's not something I can decide alone.

Looking at Yue Jianguo's increasingly dark face.

Yue Xin conceded a step and proposed a compromise:

"If Xiaopeng is really willing to do something practical, then for the sake of our family ties,

I can make a slight exception and hire him as a temporary worker first.

However, lacking both education and experience, he could only start as a teller.

How about we gradually familiarize ourselves with the business?

Upon hearing this, Yue Jianguo flew into a rage:

"Xiao Xin, what kind of talk is that!"

Xiaopeng is now married and has a career.

You actually let him work as a teller?

"How long will it take to finally get ahead?"

"Besides, you're now the head of Jinning Bank."

Holding such great power in their hands

Arrange for one or two relatives to enter management positions.

What problem could there be?

Your uncle has really gone to great lengths to save face today.

I finally managed to ask you for a favor.

You think you can just send me a bank teller?

Is this how you treat your own uncle?

Yue Xin patiently said, "Uncle, it's not that I'm being unreasonable."

You know how hard it is to find a good job these days.

Xiaopeng does not have a bachelor's degree and his professional knowledge is not solid enough.

Despite the pressure, I recruited him, starting him as a teller.

This in itself already involves a great risk.

Besides, as long as Xiaopeng becomes familiar with the business at the grassroots level,

"Can't I gradually promote him later?"

However, no matter how Yue Xin explained, Yue Jianguo remained unsatisfied.
