Chapter 704: Helping is a Favor, Not Helping is a Duty 2

Jiang Siwei was anxious.

If she were rejected before she even managed to say it, her mother-in-law would skin her alive when she got back!

"Cousin, please arrange a job for my husband, I beg you."

"Something easy, not too tiring, as long as the pay is high."

Shi Youxuan:...

Actually, this wasn't a difficult task.

It was just that her husband was the son of that old woman, and his character was a problem.

When Shi Youxuan had tucked her business card into Jiang Siwei's pocket back then, she had wanted to help her, not arrange a job for her husband.

"What is your husband's educational background?"

Jiang Siwei: "He didn't finish middle school."

Shi Youxuan: "That level of education probably won't work; the company requires..."

But facing Jiang Siwei's pitiful gaze, she softened her heart again, thinking that if she could help, she would.

Lacking an education didn't mean lacking ability; she herself had no formal education and had become successful through self-study.

Shi Youxuan: "What is your husband good at?"

Jiang Siwei: "He's good at everything."

Shi Youxuan:...

Good at everything?

Alright.

The question had been phrased poorly.

So Shi Youxuan changed her approach: "What kind of jobs has your husband done?" A lack of education was fine, work experience would also do.

Jiang Siwei: "He has done many jobs."

"Car repair, car washing, waiter, chef, hairstylist, computer repair, welder, renovation, painting walls..." When mentioning her husband, Jiang Siwei's eyes lit up with spirit and a hint of pride.

Good grief.

She rattled off dozens of types without stopping, and still hadn't finished: "My husband has also done business, sold clothes, peddled vegetables, sold fruit... He is especially capable, he has a sweet tongue, no one in the entire market is as hardworking as him..."

Having finally finished counting the professions her husband had held, she began to praise him incessantly.

Praising him as if he were peerless in heaven and on earth.

If she were allowed to keep talking, she probably wouldn't stop until dark.

Shi Youxuan interrupted: "I'm sorry, I don't manage company affairs, but as far as I know, the company doesn't need any of the things your husband has done."

It really wasn't an excuse; they truly didn't need them.

Dingsheng Group was involved in many sectors, but they perfectly avoided the things Jiang Siwei's husband knew how to do.

Of course, the lowest levels of the group's subsidiaries might need jobs related to Architecture, but Dingsheng required professionalism and the best employees.

However, she had just counted dozens of them!

How old was her husband?

Being able to do so many jobs at a young age did not mean the person was hardworking.

It only meant he couldn't last in any industry; he was likely someone without perseverance who feared hardship and fatigue.

Such a person wouldn't succeed anywhere.

Jiang Siwei's gaze dimmed, but she still wouldn't give up: "Forget those, other jobs are fine too. He is very smart; he learns everything at a glance."

"Is your husband a military veteran?"

"If he is a veteran, I could probably arrange a job as a Security Guard."

This was already giving her a lot of face.

The benefits for a Security Guard at Dingsheng Group were excellent.

To improve work efficiency, the Security Guard staff worked in four shifts, six hours per shift.

The salary was the same as a white-collar worker, and the company provided five social insurances and one housing fund, plus year-end bonuses and double pay.

Such benefits for a Security Guard were the best in Jiangzhou!

Good benefits came with high requirements; it was all relative.

Shi Youxuan letting go of past grievances and being willing to relax the requirements to hire Jiang Siwei's husband was already very generous.

But Jiang Siwei was very angry and stood up with a start: "A Security Guard? You look down on people too much."

"We are all relatives, your family is wealthy and powerful, is it so hard to arrange an office job?"

Shi Youxuan:...

Her good intentions were treated like donkey liver and lungs.

The other party was ungrateful.

She said coldly: "It's not hard, but tell me, what can your husband do in an office? The minimum requirement for a regular office clerk is a bachelor's degree from a 211 university. Where do you get the courage to ask for an office job?"

"Don't tell me we're relatives. When you bullied me back then, you didn't think we were relatives, did you? Now that you need me, you want to use moral kidnapping? Jiang Siwei, you had better recognize your own status."

Shi Youxuan's words were a bit harsh, and she was doing it on purpose.

Different people required different ways of being treated.

If good intentions were just fed to the dogs, what was a good person to do?

Jiang Siwei couldn't argue with Shi Youxuan.

But she didn't feel she was in the wrong; she just kept repeating that rich people were cold-blooded and didn't care about family ties.

Shi Youxuan:...

Later, she issued an order to leave and chased Jiang Siwei away.

"Zhang Ma, if this woman comes again in the future, do not let her enter the door," Shi Youxuan instructed.

She did not look down on poor relatives, but some people were truly not worth pitying.

For example, Jiang Siwei.

When some people fall, you pull them up, and they get back on their feet.

Then there are others who lie on the ground; you kindly want to pull them up, but they want you to carry them on your back from then on!

This kind of person does not truly want to stand on their own; they just want to find a new place to lie down.

As for the things Jiang Siwei had done to bully her in the past, so many years had passed that Shi Youxuan did not want to pursue them.

But wanting to use the "relative" relationship to force her to do things she did not want to do was also impossible.

Pitiful people must have their hateful aspects.

She should not have been soft-hearted; why did she stuff that note into her pocket? Otherwise, this kind of thing would not have happened.

After feeling annoyed for a few days, Shi Youxuan gradually forgot about this matter.

That evening, Nianyin suddenly arrived.

"Sister Xuanxuan, did you issue commemorative coins?"

Shi Youxuan:...

"What commemorative coins?" She was completely confused.

Nianyin took a golden commemorative coin booklet out of her bag and handed it over: "It's this, they said it was made by you."

Shi Youxuan took it and looked; the outer packaging was actually quite exquisite.

The title was also very impressive: 999 Gold Limited Edition Commemorative Coins, only one hundred sets available.

"How much is a set?"

Nianyin: "Ten thousand yuan."

"Pfft—"

Shi Youxuan laughed and tossed the commemorative coins onto the coffee table: "This thing is fake."

It says five hundred grams, 999 gold, and the retail price is ten thousand yuan?

They are fooling fools.

Wait, no.

Didn't Nianyin just buy it?

Shi Youxuan mocked her: "I wouldn't say anything if others were fooled, as there are many people who are greedy for small gains, but you actually believed it too?"

Nianyin was used to seeing good things, so the fact that she could actually buy this was what Shi Youxuan found strange.

This kind of scam was too clumsy; there were people who actually dared to sell it, and people who actually dared to buy it.

Nianyin explained: "No, if they were sold individually, of course I wouldn't believe it, but that person used your name and said it was produced by Tianma Group."

"Did you call the police?"

Nianyin: "Of course not. Commemorative coins produced by Tianma Group, I couldn't possibly call the police; I'm not stupid."

"However, they were selling quite well; I even had to cut in line to snatch one. If I had been a moment later, they would have been sold out."

Shi Youxuan:...

And this isn't stupid?

This is stupid to the core, isn't it?

The swindler even understands marketing; they are using hunger marketing quite well.

Nianyin is very smart, but she grew up in the Ji Family and does not know enough about the outside world.

She has never seen a swindler, which is why she must have been deceived.

Shi Youxuan: "I'll bet with you that the person will still be selling them at the school gate tomorrow; do you believe me?"

She shook her head: "I don't believe it."
