Chapter 180: Chapter 162: Arrangements

Of course, Zhao Hui knew nothing of Peng Yu and Xia Bin’s plotting.

Even if he did, he wouldn’t care. It would be a joke if someone could actually threaten his position at Junxiao Square.

He left work early. The VP of Operations didn’t need to clock in or out. Tonight was a Zhao Family dinner.

Chen Xiao had told Zhao Hui to buy the house next door. This way, their grandmother could live there permanently, and it would be easier for his sister to visit her.

Chen Xiao wasn’t attending today. It was a gathering for Mr. Zhao and his brothers—all the immediate families. It would be rather strange for Chen Xiao to attend as Zhao Xiangjun’s boyfriend.

Zhao Hui rode back in his sister’s car.

Since it was Zhao Hui’s family hosting, they naturally had to arrive early.

He finally got to drive his sister’s Wisdom Realm R7. Zhao Xiangjun didn’t like driving and always insisted, "Only an idiot drives when they can ride shotgun!"

Zhao Hui no longer had any desire to swap his Honda for his sister’s car.

He had seen a lot more of the world these past few days, and his whole demeanor was completely different from before.

His family had also bought a Lantu Dream Chaser, so he had already gotten a deep dive into its intelligent driving and smart cockpit features.

However, he still had to drive his Honda Accord to work, since driving an MPV to the office would be a bit strange.

Catching a glimpse of his sister smiling as she texted, he guessed she must be chatting with Chen Xiao.

Only when she was talking to Chen Xiao did his sister’s face light up with such a blissful smile.

He thought back to how his sister used to be—working herself to the bone, never spending anything on herself, and using all her savings to support his family.

Back then, Zhao Hui didn’t have a steady job and often had no income. His family mainly got by on the meager salary his wife earned working for the residential community’s property management.

With two kids at home, their expenses were high.

’I was such a disappointment back then.’

But now, because of his sister, he had leaped to the position of Vice President of Operations at Junxiao Square, holding real power.

His base salary was 50,000 yuan, and when he came home, his wife would look at him with admiration. That kind of boost to his self-esteem was something money couldn’t buy.

Zhao Xiangjun finished texting and put her phone away.

Zhao Hui then said, "About the family dinner tonight, First Uncle and Third Uncle both asked if you’d be there. I bet if you didn’t come, they might not have even shown up."

Zhao Xiangjun said, "It’s not that serious, is it?"

Her first and third uncles had no idea that the Zhao Family had struck it rich thanks to their daughter. Although they knew the family had bought another house and figured life must be pretty good, they couldn’t possibly imagine their current circumstances.

Still, her uncles were genuinely fond of Zhao Xiangjun. Whenever there was a gathering, they would always ask if Xiangjun was coming back.

After all, who wouldn’t like such a well-behaved and beautiful junior in the family? Even her tendency to talk back was seen by them as a sign of being straightforward.

Zhao Hui chuckled. "Our uncles really do treat you differently than the rest of us."

"Just spend a little more money on them, and they’ll treat you the same way."

Zhao Hui laughed. His sister really saw things clearly. That was probably one of the main reasons.

’My sister is beautiful and generous, while I used to be a stingy asshole. Of course our treatment was worlds apart!’

The two of them first returned to Happy Home to pick up their grandmother, parents, and his kids.

On the way to the restaurant, Grandma rode in her granddaughter’s car, while the others took the Lantu Dream Chaser.

Ever since the family got this MPV, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao preferred to have their son drive it whenever they went out. It was so spacious and comfortable.

Mr. Zhao had stopped working odd jobs. Zhao Hui planned to arrange a position for him in the logistics and maintenance department at Junxiao Square.

It wasn’t about how much money he’d make, just that the job would be easy.

He even made a point to send a message to Chen Xiao about it.

Chen Xiao, of course, let him handle the arrangements. He also noticed that Zhao Hui had matured a lot since starting the job and was making rapid progress.

He was also very attentive to detail. The fact that he asked Chen Xiao before arranging a job for his own father at the square showed how meticulous he was.

Hu Hai Fish Farm was the most popular restaurant in their area. For tonight’s family dinner, Zhao Hui had to book the large private room several days in advance.

Zhao Xiangjun, who had driven ahead, got out of her car and took her grandmother up to the private room on the second floor via the elevator.

Zhao Hui, who was with his parents and family, took more time getting out and unloading the alcohol.

After getting his family settled upstairs, he checked the time. His uncles should be arriving soon.

Zhao Xiangjun started pouring tea. Chen Xiao liked to bring his own tea when he went out now. He had found some top-grade Fuding Silver Needle and had thrown a box into both his and Zhao Xiangjun’s cars.

The tea at restaurants was usually terrible, so Zhao Xiangjun had brought the Fuding Silver Needle in with her when she got out of the car.

Zhao Hui went down to order the food himself. Just as he reached the ordering area, he unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.

It was President Wang, Wang Hao’s father.

Wang Hao wasn’t with him this time. The moment President Wang saw Zhao Hui, he recalled the scene at the Mercedes-Benz dealership where Zhao Hui had driven off in a Brabus G900.

He took the initiative to greet Zhao Hui. "Xiao Zhao, you’re here to eat too?"

His attitude was countless times better than before.

Zhao Hui nodded. President Wang came closer and asked, "That car you were driving at the Mercedes-Benz dealership last time...?"

Zhao Hui glanced at him and said, "It’s not mine. I was just helping pick it up."

A look of sudden realization crossed President Wang’s face. "I knew it! So, Xiao Zhao, you’re a driver for a big boss now? How much do you make a month?"

"I’m looking for a driver myself. If your pay isn’t great, you should come work for me. I’ve got a lot of business this year, meetings all over the place. It doesn’t look good for me to drive myself, so I really do need a driver."

Zhao Hui didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. ’I’m making a base salary of 50,000 a month and you want me to quit that to be your driver? How clueless can you be to even say something like that!’
