Chapter 367 Dn''s Job


    Celia sat there stunned for a few seconds, and then continued, "It''s okay to wait for one or two


    years, but what if I have to wait indefinitely? What if he fails to convince his parents? Then all that


    waiting would be for nothing in the end, right?"


    As soon as Celia finished speaking, Rachel heard her stomach growl, so she handed her another


    piece of bread. "You already know the answer in your heart, don''t you? You think that you can wait


    for one or two years, so just wait. As for the rest, talk it out after a year or two."


    Celia continued to whine, "But what if I wait for him, but then he won''t want me anymore after two


    years? Rachel, I''ve been cheated on once, and I can''t let that happen again. I''m really scared."


    Rachel was hunched over while turning on theputer, but upon hearing this, she paused the


    task and straightened up, looking at Celia. She remembered what happened to the other woman


    when she came to the hospital for registration, and her heart sank. After a while, she said


    encouragingly, "Then make yourself a stronger and better woman while waiting for him. As women,


    we have to rely on ourselves, right? When you are the best version of yourself, men wille to


    you automatically."


    Celia clenched her fists and raised her hands in reaction to Rachel''s words, shouting vigorously,


    "Okay, Rachel, I will try my best!" Once she had finished speaking, arge yawn escaped her, and


    her shoulders slightly drooped. She waved her hand and said, "I''m too sleepy. I''m going to home to


    get some sleep."


    There were always a lot of guests in the MK Group. Some visitors came to discuss business, while


    others came to visit Jack. Most of these visitors were turned away at the president''s office door.

    As the end of the work day approached, everyone became anxious, including Jack, who was as


    antsy as a teenager. He was packing up and getting ready to leave when the door opened and


    Marcus strode in.


    He walked slowly to the sofa and sat down with his legs crossed. "I figured that you would stay until


    late night at the office, so I specially chose this time to visit you. I didn''t expect that I would make a


    mistake."


    "Come early next time," Jack replied impatiently,


    but he prepared a cup of white tea and set it out in front of theter.


    The air was filled with the unique fragrance of white tea. Marcus took a sip and said in a joking


    voice, "In the past, there was nothing but coffee in your office."


    Jack smiled, "Rachel brought it. She said that I should drink less coffee because of my stomach


    issues."


    Marcus said nothing, and his only response was a bitter smile.


    Loss shed across his eyes and disappeared, but Jack caught it. He leaned back slightly and


    asked in a low tone, "You haven''t shown up for quite some time. What''s wrong?"


    "Something''s wrong, Jack." Marcus stared nkly at a certain point on the wall. After a moment, he


    turned to look at Jack. "I came here today to ask for your help."


    Jack frowned. "What''s the matter?


    There is no need for politeness between us." They tended to tell each other everything frankly, most


    of the time. Never before had Marcus asked for his help in such a polite manner. Jack found it


    unnerving.


    Marcus said, "Can you help arrange for a person to work in yourpany? It has to be a high


    position."


    "Tell me about the person."


    Jack felt even more disturbed. Marcus had a foreign tradepany. Although it was not as big as


    MK Group, it was ranked among the top 50panies in the country and even higher in Ninwell


    City.


    As a CEO, it would be more convenient for him to arrange for a person to join his ownpany


    than any other.


    "That man is Celia''s father." Marcus sighed. "He is currently out of work and staying at home. I was


    going to let him work in mypany, but I don''t want my parents to be talking about him behind his


    back."


    He nced at Jack''s stunned countenance and continued, "I want to be with Celia, but my parents


    would never agree to us being together based on her family''s current circumstances. So..."


    Jack patted his arm before Marcus could finish his words. "Okay, I''ll arrange it and ask him to report


    to Austin on Monday."


    Jack really didn''t like Celia''s father, a man who once used Mendes to get close to the Fu family.


    However, with the happiness of his friend now at stake, he had to help anyway.


    Jack didn''t want to talk to him in person, so he assigned the task to Austin.


    On the following Monday, a man stood at the door of the secretary''s office. He adjusted his tie from


    time to time and looked around.


    Austin approached him and reached out his hand. "Hello, you must be Dn Xu, right? Did you


    bring your resume?"


    As soon as Austin had finished speaking, Dn handed over his resume. Except for the basic


    information, the remaining entries on paper were very simple. However, even with such simple


    items, Austin saw seven to eight typographical errors.


    Even so, Austin had to restrain his disgust. With a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, Austin


    asked Dn to sit down in his office and then introduced his future post to him.


    Evidently, Dn was not satisfied with the post given to him, which was the director of the


    administrative department of one of their branches.


    When Austin reported the situation to Jack, he imitated Dn''s'' expression and tone. "I have


    traveled all over South America. Isn''t the administrative office too humble for me?


    Mr. Lin, isn''t it better for me to work in the marketing department or manage the branch? Don''t


    worry. I will try my best!"


    Jack chuckled and looked up at him. "What did you tell him?"


    With his mouth twitching, Austin pointed at the ceiling and said helplessly, "This was arranged by


    my superiors, so I can''t make a decision."


    With a bitter smile on his face, he added in a intive voice, "Mr. Fu, can you not let me do this


    anymore? Please torture me with something else."


    "Don''t worry. It won''t happen again." In the hospital, Rachel just received a call from Celia, who told


    her that Dn went to work in the MK Group. After thinking for a while, she made the tenuous


    connection and texted back. "Don''t think too much. There must be a reason why your father went to


    work in Jack''spany. It''s okay."


    She thought about the situation some more, and then she asked Jack about it when he went to pick


    her up after work. It was just as she had guessed, after all.


    She sighed, "I''m afraid things will get more troublesome from now on."


    "What do you mean?" Jack asked in confusion, not knowing what she meant, but Rachel shook her


    head and said nothing further.


    The living room of the Xu family was brightly lit, perfectly mirroring the family''s joy at that moment.


    The family had never been so excited since Dn lost his job. But then, no one was more excited


    than his wife, Bertha Zheng.


    At this time, she rubbed her hands, and the excitement on her face was hard to suppress. "Now that


    you have a job, you don''t have to rely on me to support the family alone."


    Dn lit up a cigarette and said, "I''m not satisfied with the position that they gave me. Anyway,


    forget it. I''ll work there a month to see what''s going on."


    Dissatisfaction was evident in his tone. Bertha Zheng choked on the smoke and coughed several


    times. She red at the gray puffs in disgust and said, "Stopining. It''s better to have a job


    than stay a bum. By the way, do you know how much you''ll be earning each month?"


    When asked about his sry, Dn gloatingly raised up his fingers and said, "15,000 dors per


    month."


    "Oh my God!"


    Bertha Zheng eximed and covered her mouth with her hands. "What kind of luck do you have?"


    No matter how profitable her children''s clothing shop was, she was hard-pressed to make even


    5,000 or 6,000 dors every month. A few days ago, another brand of children''s clothes opened up


    their store beside her shop, which took away a lot of her business.


    She stood up excitedly and paced back and forth several times. Suddenly, she stopped and asked


    with her eyes narrowed, "Who on earth arranged this job for you? How did you end up with such a


    good position in thatpany all of a sudden?"


    That Austin person made that phone call asking him to report to the MK Group.


    As for the details, Dn didn''t even think to ask because all thoughts flew from his head as soon as


    he heard the words "MK Group." Who could me him?


    He shook his head in confusion, but the puzzled expression on his face disappeared in an instant.


    He waved his hand and said indifferently, "That doesn''t matter at this point, as long as I got into that


    company."


    Bertha Zheng didn''t answer, but she had her own ideas.


    On the next day, daylight broke through the curtain of night to illuminate the two people lying


    entwined and asleep in the bed. Jack rested his chin on Rachel''s head, and his hand was gently


    resting on her waist. The beautiful scene was suddenly interrupted by ringing.


    Shaking Jack''s shoulders with her eyes closed, Rachel whispered, "Jack, your phone is so noisy.


    He frowned and let go of her. Looking at the number, he suddenly stood up and went to the balcony.


    Rachel felt like falling back to sleep, but then she felt a warm breath falling on her ear. She frowned


    and mumbled, "Who called you?"


    Jack said in a low voice, "Rachel, something happened to a real estate project in America. I have to


    go there immediately. I need to head to the airport now."


    Rachel rubbed at her sleepy eyes and said, "Then I''ll help you pack up." She was about to get out


    of bed, but Jack pressed on her shoulders so that she was lying down again. With a warm smile


    down at her, he said, "Lie down. I just need to pack up a few things."


    She closed her eyes and epted the kiss on his forehead with a bittersweet smile.


    She had grown used to having breakfast with him. She sighed while looking at the te of steamed


    buns she had brought from the dining table, her appetite gone.


    She simply packed them into a food container and brought them to the hospital.


    If her memory served her right, Celia worked during the day. Maybe she could have breakfast with


    her.


    In the nurse station, people were hustling around early in the morning, splitting medicine and taking


    blood pressure. It was not easy for Rachel to find Celia, who was sitting quietly in the pharmacy.


    She patted her on the shoulder from behind and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"


    Celia turned around and nced at her. She opened her mouth to speak, but then finally lowered


    her head in silence and continued what she was doing.


    Suddenly, the indifference in her eyes morphed into hatred. Author''s note
