75: Chapter 75 My Cousin Almost Had to Take Out a Loan to Get a Job!

Chapter 75: The Cousin Who Almost Took a Loan to Work!

Su Yang dialed He Zhiheng's number, and it was answered before long.

"Cousin?"

"How come you didn't tell me you came to Rongcheng?"

"Uh..."

Su Yang heard the sound of car horns. "Are you on the road?"

"Yeah!"

"Send me your location later. I'll head over to find you this afternoon!"

"Would that be too much trouble?"

"Then I'll send you a location, and you come over tonight!"

"This..."

"Which district are you in?"

"High-tech Zone!"

"Okay, that's it. Stay safe!"

Su Yang hung up and headed to the company.

On his mother's side, he had one older male cousin and one younger male cousin.

Because his mother's siblings had a good relationship, Su Yang got along well with them too.

His older cousin was six years older than him, mature and stable, and navigated society quite well.

He worked for a construction company and had bought a house, gotten married, and had children in the county town on his own.

His younger cousin, He Zhiheng, was a completely honest kid.

He had strong self-esteem, was a bit of a stickler for details, somewhat stubborn, inflexible in his ways, and a little sentimental.

In Su Yang's memory, he was also a bit of a crybaby...

When the cat he raised as a child died, he could cry for half the day.

Upon arriving at the company, Su Yang mainly checked on the work progress of the Market Expansion Department.

Mei Jingshan, however, asked him if he wanted to hire a secretary or an assistant.

Su Yang felt he could take his time to look for one.

Although he wasn't too busy now, it didn't mean he wouldn't be busy in the future!

Su Yang found a BBQ restaurant in the High-tech Zone on his phone and sent the location to his cousin, making an appointment for 8:00 PM.

He Zhiheng replied, "I might be a bit busy at eight!"

Su Yang asked in surprise, "Busy with what?"

He Zhiheng: "Delivering takeout!"

Su Yang really didn't expect his younger cousin to have gone to deliver takeout.

"Then 4:00 PM."

He Zhiheng: "Okay!"

He Zhiheng was not only introverted but also couldn't make decisions.

He was always a bit hesitant in everything he did.

When dealing with him, you occasionally had to help him make up his mind!

Commonly known as being "obedient."

One could also say he had no opinions of his own.

At 4:00 PM, Su Yang saw He Zhiheng arriving on an electric scooter.

At this time, He Zhiheng was wearing a pair of jeans that had been washed until they were a bit faded, a black T-shirt, and those black-rimmed glasses; he was slightly thinner than he had been during the New Year.

"Sit down!"

"Yeah!"

Su Yang ordered some dishes and then handed the menu to He Zhiheng, letting him order what he liked.

After ordering, Su Yang got a general idea of his experiences over the past six months.

During the second half of his junior college term, which was at the beginning of this year, he entered a Japanese factory.

Everything was going well, but later the Japanese enterprise divested its capital, and the factory closed down.

After losing his job, he was too embarrassed to mention it to his parents.

So he secretly returned to Rongcheng and joined a factory.

However, after staying at the factory in Rongcheng for a few days, he couldn't take it anymore.

He switched to delivering takeout instead, and then he got scammed.

Delivering takeout required a standardized electric scooter; they sold him a scooter worth over two thousand for over four thousand.

He had several peers who delivered takeout with him, and their electric scooters were all bought on loan.

It was truly taking a loan to work in the literal sense!

It was only after running deliveries for a while that He Zhiheng realized he had been scammed.

Su Yang felt that his cousin was still somewhat lucky; this could only be considered a small loss.

He hadn't encountered those who took out loans to buy trucks yet.

Su Yang asked softly, "Do you know about me opening a hot pot restaurant?"

He Zhiheng nodded. "My mom told me about it yesterday!"

He basically never looked at the family wechat group; he usually had it muted.

Usually, if there was nothing going on, he wouldn't call anyone.

He only heard yesterday that his cousin had made big money opening a hot pot restaurant with a loan in Rongcheng!

He Zhiheng looked at his cousin again.

Having not seen him for only half a year, his cousin had changed a lot.

Not only was he stronger, but he also seemed more confident.

He attributed all of this to his cousin's business success.

On the phone, his mother had praised his cousin a lot and, in passing, belittled him again!

But he had a good impression of his cousin.

When he was a child, he was strictly controlled and had almost no friends.

Only this cousin could get his mother's permission to occasionally take him out to play; he was also willing to bring him along, taking him to set off firecrackers or to the river to catch fish.

Even though this cousin would also occasionally tease him quite unscrupulously...

Su Yang asked, "You didn't tell your mom about these things?"

"No. Even if I did, she'd probably just say I'm not sharp enough."

"Uh..."

Su Yang knew that there was an estrangement between his cousin and his Third Aunt.

The relationship between mother and son had never been very good.

His Third Aunt often complained that his cousin would never take the initiative to call her.

Su Yang didn't find it easy to interfere in other people's family matters.

He could only say that both sides seemed to have some issues!

"How about you come and help me out?"

Although his Third Aunt only asked him to help check on his cousin's situation.

If he were incompetent, it would be one thing, but if he had ability, it was impossible for Su Yang to ignore him.

Especially since his current situation wasn't very good.

"Better not!" He Zhiheng said after a moment of hesitation. "I don't want to serve plates, and I don't know how to cook."

"I've started a company!"

"Started a company?"

He Zhiheng looked at Su Yang in surprise.

It was hard for him to connect a company boss with his own cousin.

"A catering chain company!"

He Zhiheng didn't know what to say and could only give a thumbs up.

This was the highest praise he could give!

"Will you come?"

He Zhiheng lowered his head and stirred the Oil dipping sauce. "But I don't know how to do anything..."

"The company has just been formed, and I have other businesses; the pressure is very high. Just consider it coming to help me out."

He Zhiheng looked up at Su Yang and saw that Su Yang's gaze was sincere and filled with expectation.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"

"That's good!"

Su Yang was in a good mood and put a piece of roasted meat into his mouth.

He understood his cousin's personality quite well.

He wasn't very sensitive to money, but he enjoyed the feeling of being needed.

He was the kind of honest person who was very easy to handle.

No matter what company he joined, as long as the leader coaxed him a little, he would likely become a hardworking ox.

After He Zhiheng agreed, he said awkwardly, "Cousin, I studied mechanics. I might not know much about catering company matters!"

Su Yang didn't care much. "It's fine. You're only twenty-two; you can learn. It doesn't require a very high level of education!"

"Yeah!"

He Zhiheng nodded seriously.

"I'll put you in the Market Expansion Department first; it's the most important department in our company." Seeing He Zhiheng's bewildered look, Su Yang said with a smile, "Don't worry, you'll receive training once you're in."

"That's good!"

"Once you're in, do you want me to tell the people in the company that you're my cousin so they can take care of you?"

"Better not!" He Zhiheng waved his hands hurriedly. "I'll just work hard on my own."

This honest kid!

Su Yang said with a smile, "Alright then, I respect your opinion!"

Hearing Su Yang's words, He Zhiheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He felt that talking with his cousin was very easy.

"By the way, if you go to work at the company, it's best to rent a room in Qinglong District!" Su Yang thought for a moment and asked, "Do you still have money?"

"Yes!"

"How much?"

"A bit over forty thousand!"

Su Yang was stunned. How did this guy save so much?

He had only saved forty thousand after working for a year.

This guy could save forty thousand after working for half a year, even after being scammed.

He suddenly felt a bit unhappy.

Why did he feel that without a Golden Finger, it was as if everyone was richer than him?

"Wasn't your salary only six thousand-something?"

He Zhiheng said honestly, "The factory paid compensation after I was laid off!"

"How much did they pay?"

"Three months' salary!"
