Chapter 265

Chen Yang, is your company still hiring? While having dinner, Zhang Chunhua suddenly called Chen Yang.

Which company are you asking about? Chen Yang has several companies in Qingshui City: a trading company, a meat industry company, and an advertising company. When Zhang Chunhua asked that, he really didn't know how to answer.

Zhang Chunhua said softly on the other end: "Mayor Kong's wife came to talk to me today. She said her son stays home all day doing nothing, always hanging out with some second-generation officials and rich kids. She's worried something might happen and wants me to help find him a job in Xingcheng. You also know that the only big boss I know is you, so I can only ask you."

Chen Yang heard it was Mayor Kong's son and didn't know how to arrange it. Going to the peasants' agricultural products trading company, according to Zhang Chunhua's description of that carefree personality, he'd probably annoy Shen Anna. Going to the real estate agency, having a mayor's son sell houses…… seems even less realistic.

After thinking it over, only the Starlight Financial Investment Company that he co-founded with Yexin, Huang BaiMing, and Zhao Feiyang could place this prince. Yexin is a second-generation official, Huang BaiMing and Zhao Feiyang are second-generation rich kids; letting Mayor Kong's son hang out with them wouldn't be a grievance.

"Secretary Zhang, my partner General Manager Ye's Starlight Financial Investment Company is also hiring. Ask the mayor's wife if her son would be willing to work there."

"Starlight Financial Investment Company? I'll first discuss it with the wife, then call you back later."

Zhang Chunhua's phone was quickly hung up.

"Husband, with Yexin's explosive temper, you're putting an idle official's son in there—aren't you afraid she'll blow up?" Lin Wei looked at Chen Yang, a little worried. Although Kong Jie is the deputy mayor of Qingshui City, he doesn't have that much influence in Xingcheng.

Chen Yang said to Lin Wei dismissively: "Don't worry, with Yexin in charge, that kid won't be able to cause trouble. Maybe Mayor Kong's wife will even thank me for this arrangement!"

Lin Wei gave Chen Yang a look and said: "What if Mayor Kong's wife dotes on her son? She wouldn't dare settle scores with Yexin, but would she dare give you a hard time in Qingshui City?"

"Mayor Kong's wife wouldn't be that petty, would she?" Chen Yang, hearing Lin Wei say that, also felt a bit unsure. "An indulgent mother breeds a spoiled child"—look at how Mayor Kong's son turned out; the mother certainly bears great responsibility.

At that moment, Zhang Chunhua's phone rang again.

"Chen Yang, the wife said arranging her son at Xinghui Financial Investment Company would be great. Thanks for the trouble!"

"It's not that troublesome, but..." Chen Yang now felt embarrassed to refuse arranging work for Mayor Kong's son, so he politely told Zhang Chunhua: "The board members of that company are all officials' sons and wealthy heirs, and they're eager to make a career, with no tolerance for sand in their eyes. I'm a bit worried Mayor Kong's son might suffer injustice there. Why not let him come to Qingshui City? My advertising company is very idle—he can do whatever he wants."

"Chen Yang, the wife just hopes her son can have the same career drive as the mayor. Going to Xinghui Financial Investment Company is fine. Even if he suffers injustice, she won't blame you."

"Secretary Zhang, shouldn't you confirm with the wife first?" Chen Yang still wasn't at ease. Kong Jie is after all the next party secretary of Qingshui City. If his son really suffers injustice in Xingcheng, who can guarantee the anger won't be taken out on me later?

Zhang Chunhua immediately replied: "The wife is right here with me; she says there's no problem."

"Alright, I'll get in touch with President Ye right away." Chen Yang, hearing that the mayor's wife isn't afraid of her son suffering, breathed a little easier.

Lin Wei also suggested: "Husband, although the mayor's wife says she doesn't mind, you still need to be careful with the arrangement. Try to give him an idle position, and don't restrict his freedom."

Chen Yang nodded. Then he dialed Yexin's number.

"You little brat, are you here to carry thorns and apologize?"

"Carry thorns and apologize? What sin have I committed?"

"You brat sold all your China Software stocks, then deserted, and still claim you're innocent?"

"Come on, did selling my stocks affect the big picture? Didn't they hit the limit up at close?"

"... Then why are you bothering me for nothing?"

"Hehe, Mayor Kong's son is bored stiff in Xingcheng and wants me to find him a decent job. I think our financial company suits his identity—are you free? Help place him."

"A connection hire? No way!"

"Don't rush to refuse! I have no demands—just arrange any idle position for him; I'll cover his salary."

"Hmph, why don't you dump him in your own trading company?"

"Heck, he's at least the mayor's son; sending him to sell agricultural produce wouldn't be appropriate, would it?"

"What's inappropriate about that? Going back three generations, we're all descendants of farmers."

"Sister Xin, just give me some face!" Chen Yang didn't want to argue with her. "Over at your place, even if he's arrogant, he'll have to restrain himself a bit. If he goes to my place, won't you worry about causing trouble for Sister Anna?"

"All right!" Yexin's attitude softened immediately upon hearing that Shen Anna would also be involved. However, she then said sternly: "Let me make this clear first—if he dares to cause trouble here, even the governor's son will have to get lost."

"No problem, then I'll leave it to you."

Seeing the problem finally resolved, Chen Yang immediately sent another message to Zhang Chunhua.

Lin Wei watched, let out a helpless sigh. "Husband, from now on, if you don't have to worry about this kind of thing, don't. Helping others still requires careful attention. Aren't you tired?"

Chen Yang said irritably: "It's not just for you. When you're transferred someday, the mayor's words will be far more useful than our senior sister's."

Lin Wei teased: "Oh, my dear husband even knows how to pull strings for an official post for me. If I don't work hard, I'd be letting down your efforts."

"Of course!" Chen Yang laughed: "Being the mayor's husband carries far more prestige than being the mayor's secretary's husband."

Lin Wei gave Chen Yang a look. "You're dreaming—being mayor isn't that easy, is it?"

Chen Yang encouraged her: "Dear, where there's a will, there's a way. Even if you can't become mayor someday, becoming a county party secretary would make me proud."

Lin Wei lightly pinched Chen Yang's arm with her finger and said, slightly annoyed: "Husband, can't you stop daydreaming about those illusory things? Even if it gets out, I wouldn't mind people laughing."

"Who would dare laugh?" Chen Yang said nonchalantly: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier; a secretary who doesn't want to be the mayor's secretary isn't a good secretary."

"I'm going to wash the dishes—go on dreaming!" Lin Wei, somewhat fed up with Chen Yang, decided to temporarily end their conversation.
