Chapter 69
The middle- aged couple were rtives 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 rtives like Jason seriously.
However, it waspletely Jason''s parents'' request for him toe today.
Tomorrow night, their ne would arrive in Nandu.
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?" Jimughed.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.
"Yes, Jason, we are all rtives. 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 smiledcently. On the surface, she was trying to persuade Jason, but in reality, she
was ttering 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 nced 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 bepared with them
at all.
"That''s right. When Jason first went to college, I had advised my sister-inw 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-inw 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''te, 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 vi, so there was nothing to hide.
"Jade Valley?" Jim was stunned. "Where is this ce? 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 vi district. The
wife of Director Liu of our school lives there. The house price is expensive. The cheapest vi will
cost at least two or three million yuan. Jason, why did you go to that kind of ce 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 expensivemunity? 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 parentse tomorrow,"
Jason said helplessly.
"Oh, I know. You''re a salesman in thatmunity, 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. ording 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 ck 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 ck 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 sote 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 weed 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 dy 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 nced 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 apany. 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?"
