Plunder-Chapter 293 Zhou Ziyanโs Insatiable Greed
On this day, Zhou Jinโan was in a meeting when his secretary, bowing, approached him. ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐๐๐๐๐๐ท๐๐ญ.๐ธ๐ฐ๐
"Director Zhou, the second young master is causing a scene at the front desk demanding to see you."
A barely noticeable gloom spread across Zhou Jinโanโs stern face as he slightly pursed his cool lips.
"Have him wait in my office."
The secretary received the order and immediately left.
The meeting continued and lasted until nearly noon.
A senior executive came over to consult on business matters. Zhou Jinโan was listening attentively when Zhou Ziyan suddenly approached the meeting room.
"Big brother!"
He waved to Zhou Jinโan, trying to catch his attention.
However, Zhou Jinโan only coldly glanced at him, then coldly diverted his gaze.
"Big... big brother."
Zhou Ziyan called out again, and the secretary approached, respectfully saying, "Mr. Zhou, please wait in the reception room. Director Zhou is still busy at this time."
Zhou Ziyan was impatient, but he was aware of Zhou Jinโanโs temperament.
At this moment, he needed a favor and could not afford to upset Zhou Jinโan.
So, he followed the secretary to the reception room.
He started by sitting, then standing, and finally began pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.
He had had a big fight with Yao Chuman.
In this world, it is not scarcity but inequality that one fears; he and Zhou Chucheng were both Yao Chumanโs sons, yet it was Zhou Chucheng who had received An Corporation, while he received nothing.
He was accustomed to libertinage and was extravagant in spending, but even a substantial family wealth could not sustain such squandering.
Lately, his finances had begun to tighten, and he urgently needed some money to sustain his increasingly constricted lifestyle.
Yao Chuman refused to help him, so he had no choice but to personally ask Zhou Jinโan.
Thus, he waited anxiously for about half an hour before Zhou Jinโan finally returned to his office.
The secretary approached, "Mr. Zhou, Director Zhou invites you to his office."
Zhou Ziyan hurriedly got up and walked in.
"Big brother, I didnโt realize you were so busy."
Zhou Ziyan pulled up a visitorโs chair across Zhou Jinโanโs desk, sat down, and leaned back in the chair with a relaxed pose.
Zhou Jinโanโs brows furrowed slightlyโhe very much disliked the dissolute aura of Zhou Ziyan.
"Is there something you need?"
"Nothing major," Zhou Ziyan began tentatively leading into the main topic.
"If itโs nothing major, we can talk another time. I have an appointment with a client at noon, so I need to go now," Zhou Jinโan said and stood up, grabbing his coat to leave. Zhou Ziyan panicked and quickly followed him.
"Actually, big brother, Iโd like to come back and help you with some work. Concerning the salary, you can just pay me a little more than usual."
He was after something other than employment, and Zhou Jinโan detected his true intentions in an instant.
"Work? What work can you do?"
Zhou Jinโan let out a cold snort through his nostrils.
"Anything that doesnโt require overtime or too much thinking. As you know, Iโm not really cut out for big responsibilities."
His self-awareness impressed Zhou Jinโan.
"If you really want to work, start from the entry-level."
Zhou Jinโan declared.
Zhou Ziyan was overjoyed and thought this must be too good to be true.
"Big brother, I always knew you were the fairest. No matter what the job, as long as the pay is decent, Iโm willing to do it," he said earnestly.
Zhou Jinโan was well aware of Zhou Ziyanโs true motives.
He dialed the HR directorโs phone number.
In less than three minutes, the director appeared in front of Zhou Jinโan.
"Take him to go through the hiring procedures."
A cunning gleam flashed through Zhou Jinโanโs shrewd eyes, but Zhou Ziyan did not understand it.
"What position will it be?"
The director looked distressed.
Zhou Ziyan also had a face full of expectation, thinking to himself, at the very least, he was a member of the Zhou family, so Jinโan couldnโt let him sweep the floors by just looking at the monkโs face and not the Buddhaโs.
"Iโll send it to your phone."
After speaking, Jinโan turned and headed outside.
"Yes."
Director Zhang led Zhou Ziyan out of Jinโanโs office.
Zhou Ziyan was still lost in his beautiful dreams, unaware that reality was about to hit him hard.
Director Zhang took him to report to the security team, only mentioning his surname Zhou and failing to disclose Zhou Ziyanโs identity.
"Hey, Old Zhang, what are you doing? Why are you bringing me to a place like this?"
By the time Zhou Ziyan realized something was amiss, it was too late. Director Zhang had already informed the security team in advance, and if he wanted to stay, he had to join the security team.
"Mr. Zhou, didnโt you want a job? This is the job Director Zhou has arranged for you. Director Zhou mentioned that you wanted a job that pays well, involves little work, and doesnโt require thinking. This job suits you perfectly,"
Director Zhang said with a stern expression.
Zhou Ziyan was so angry that he puffed up his cheeks and glared his eyes.
"Suits my ass!"
He swore loudly.
Without jest, Director Zhang said, "Mr. Zhou, the decision is yours."
Saying this, Director Zhang turned to leave.
Seeing him about to walk away, Zhou Ziyan panicked, "Hey, whatโs the rush? Did I say I wasnโt going to do it?"
"Then what do you mean, Mr. Zhou?"
Director Zhang, a notorious old fox, just looked at Zhou Ziyan impassively.
"How much per month?"
Zhou Ziyan asked sheepishly.
"A three-month probation period, ten thousand per month. After the probation period, it depends on your performance."
Zhou Ziyan snorted coldly from his nostrils. He couldnโt care less about the ten thousand; he would spend hundreds of thousands at Jinma Entertainment in just one night.
A mere ten thousand is nothing.
"Do you think Iโm an idiot?"
Zhou Ziyanโs anger flared up again.
"Of course, Mr. Zhou is no fool. Director Zhou has his reasons for this arrangement,"
Director Zhang courteously remarked.
Zhou Ziyan was angry but not stupid. Currently, Nanchen was under Jinโanโs control, and the only way he could see a silver lining was by following Jinโanโs wishes.
"Fine, Iโll be a security guard."
Zhou Ziyan compromised.
But what he hadnโt expected was that this was a trap Jinโan had set for him.
That afternoon, Zhou Ziyan completed the hiring process and gloriously became one of Nanchenโs security guards.
Being naturally tall and handsome, the uniform made him look even more imposing and majestic.
Jinโan had left the company after lunch and didnโt return.
After finishing his business, he returned to Chu Garden.
Qiao Enโs belly was getting bigger, and he wanted to spend more time with her.
During dinner, Director Zhang called Jinโan, and Qiao En was listening by his side.
It was about Zhou Ziyan.
Qiao En heard everything but maintained her silence.
Only after the call ended did she speak, "Is it appropriate to have Zhou Ziyan work as a security guard at Nanchen?"
After all, he was a member of the Zhou family.
Jinโan, expressionless, lightly scraped Qiao Enโs nostril with his finger, "You worry too much. We both know very well what kind of person he is. I had him become a security guard partly to temper his sharpness and partly in hopes he might back off knowing the difficulty."
"What choice did he make?"
Qiao En asked further.
Jinโan sighed softly, "He indeed surprised me by choosing to stay. Nonetheless, heโs just a flash in the pan, canโt endure hardship, and will withdraw on his own once his enthusiasm wanes."
This was Jinโanโs plan.
Qiao En quite agreed.
However, this time, Zhou Ziyan defied everyoneโs expectations of him.
