Just as Shen Wang was pondering what good things to exchange for the Eighth Route Army, his phone rang.

"Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Ding-dong!"

A series of messages.

Shen Wang picked up his phone and glanced at it, only to find that it was a message from the family group chat.

And she even tagged him.

This family group is his mother's side of the family.

The group chat includes my aunt, second aunt, great-aunt, uncle, and several cousins, totaling more than a dozen relatives.

The initiator was his older cousin, Zhou Ming.

Shen Wang opened the group chat.

Zhou Ming: "@Shen Wang, come out here! Tell me, what exactly happened to you?!"

"Who told you to resign?! ​​Huh? You resigned, fine, but you're still yelling at your manager at the company? Have you lost your mind?!"

"Do you know how many connections I pulled, how many favors I owed, to get you into the Shanshui Group? Huh?"

"And you, you've only been in there a few days, barely settled in, and you've already caused such a huge mess!"

"They even called me just now! Asking who I introduced! They have no manners at all! They've completely humiliated me!"

……

Shen Wang's entry into the Shanshui Group was indeed due to his cousin Zhou Ming's connections.

My older cousin was a student at Handong University of Political Science and Law, and after graduation, he stayed on as a counselor.

Among the graduates of Handa, a counselor is not even considered a top-tier student, but they are not bad either.

Thanks to the prominent figures in the Han University clique, the teachers at Han University have some prestige.

My cousin must have used some connections to get Shen Wang a job at the Shanshui Group.

Unexpectedly, Shen Wang not only resigned, but also scolded the manager.

They found him there and gave him a good scolding.

Zhou Ming: "Shen Wang, I'm not trying to be mean, but think about it yourself. You caused trouble in school and didn't even get your diploma. What good company would want you?"

"If I hadn't gone around asking around for help and pulling strings, you'd probably be working as a bricklayer on some construction site right now!"

……

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Ming's mother, who is also Shen Wang's aunt, also jumped out to scold Shen Wang.

Aunt: @ShenWangXiaoWang, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but you really didn't know any better this time!

"Your cousin has been running around so much for you, it's been so tough for him! How could you just quit like that and even yell at your boss? How will your cousin ever be able to hold his head up at work again?"

Second Aunt: "Yes, Xiaowang, young people shouldn't be too impulsive; they need to be down-to-earth. Shanshui Group is such a good company; how could you just give it up like that?"

Aunt: "Listen to your cousin, go back and apologize to your boss, and work hard. It's so hard to find a job these days!"

Several other relatives in the group chimed in with their own opinions.

However, Shen Wang's mother did not blame her son.

Mom: "@Zhou Mingda Ming, don't be angry. Xiao Wang is young and doesn't know any better. He probably suffered some injustice at work."

"Look... could you go and plead with them again, see if there's any way to salvage the situation?"

"Or... could you find Xiaowang some other work? I'm begging you, Auntie!"

Zhou Ming: "Third Aunt, it's not that I don't want to help! He's just driven himself to a dead end!"

"As for finding another one? I don't have that ability! I haven't even repaid the favor I received this time!"

Zhou Ming: "@Shen Wang, I'm telling you, right now, immediately, at this moment! Call Manager Wang and apologize! Be sincere! Do you hear me?"

Just then, a person with a cartoon avatar jumped out.

Shen Wang's younger cousin, Zhou Meng.

Zhou Meng: "@Zhou Ming, you're being too harsh! Maybe Third Brother is really being bullied at work? There's so much workplace bullying these days!"

Zhou Meng: "@Shen Wang, ignore them! If they don't want me here, there are plenty of other places that will!"

Zhou Ming: "@Zhou Meng, what do you know, you little kid? Go away! @Shen Wang, speak up! Stop playing dead!"

Shen Wang: "@Cousin Zhou Ming, you don't need to worry about this. Don't worry, it won't affect your future."

Zhou Ming: "Fine, fine, I won't get involved anymore. Don't come looking for me with your problems!"

Mom: "Daming, don't take it to heart with your cousin. He was just saying that out of anger. Don't be upset!"

Second Aunt: "That's right, you two brothers should talk to each other properly!"

Auntie: "We're all family, and we're doing this for your own good. No one is allowed to get angry!"

……

Shen Wang wasn't angry. They were all family members, and they usually got along very well. There had never been any unpleasant incidents.

Moreover, his cousin treated him well and went to great lengths to help him find a better job.

His decision to resign and then hurl insults was indeed somewhat ill-considered.

Shen Wang didn't care; he would just help his cousin improve in the future.

Leaving the group chat made things much quieter.

But then, my mom called.

On the phone, her mother didn't criticize Shen Wang for resigning, but instead asked with concern if he had suffered any injustice.

Shen Wang made up several excuses before he could calm his mother down.

"call--"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Wang let out a long sigh of relief.

There are just too many things to do every day.

After bringing up the system panel, Shen Wang considered whether to participate in the lottery or exchange his points.

He now has over 30,000 military merit points, and if he were to participate in a lottery, he could win roughly three division- or brigade-level weapons or supplies.

The problem is that the weapons you win in the lottery are most likely from World War II.

Moreover, it might be the most inadequate equipment of a "rough and ready division of the National Revolutionary Army".

If he were to exchange for them, Shen Wang wouldn't have many weapons available right now; they'd mainly consist of the three legendary guerrilla weapons—

56 Rush, 40 Fire (RPG), 107 Fire!

As for airplanes and tanks, I haven't drawn them yet.

Except for the 99A, its military merit value is too high, and it's simply unaffordable to replace it.

Just as Shen Wang was considering his options, his phone rang again.

Shen Wang frowned, wanting to shut down the phone immediately.

But when I picked up my phone, I saw that it was my uncle talking in the group chat.

Uncle: "@Zhou Ming Daming, something terrible has happened! Your little brother got beaten up and now he's been arrested!"

Zhou Ming: "Uncle, don't be anxious, tell me slowly. How could my younger brother have been beaten up and arrested?"

Uncle: "Yesterday, your younger brother went to Luzhou with his friends. Last night, while drinking at a bar, he got into a fight with someone!"

"It turned out the other party was a police officer from the local police station, who arrested your men on the spot!"

Zhou Ming: "No, how much did my underlings drink? How dare they hit the police?"

Uncle: "The other party wasn't wearing a police uniform at the time, so how would your younger brothers know?"

Zhou Ming: "Wait, Uncle, what did you say? The other party wasn't wearing a police uniform?"

Uncle: "Yeah, otherwise, even if your little brother had eight times the courage, he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on the police!"

Zhou Ming: "Not wearing a J uniform... at night... in a bar... the other party clearly violated the rules?"

According to current regulations, drinking alcohol is not allowed even after get off work hours, let alone in a bar.

Uncle: "Yes! But the other party said they were carrying out a mission and wouldn't show us the surveillance footage."

Zhou Ming: "So what's the other side saying now?"

Uncle: "They're demanding 200 million, or they'll charge your little brother with assault and arrest him! Sigh..."

Zhou Ming: "That's outrageous! Uncle, don't panic, let me ask around."

"They definitely broke the rules, so we don't need to be afraid. Making a big fuss won't be good for them either."

Uncle: "Yes, yes, but...it seems the other party is from Qijia Village..."

Zhou Ming: "What? Qijia Village?"
