Chapter 991: 237: Astonishing Results_2

Aside from not being as good-looking as Mo Qishen, he had a higher education, better job, higher salary, and his family’s conditions weren’t bad either. What was there to feel inferior about? What was there to fear?

Was it all just an illusion?

“Bro, I heard you don’t have a formal job yet. How about I introduce you to work at our company? We are currently short of two general workers, and the salary and benefits are especially good. Although our company recruits based on academic credentials, with me around, you don’t have to worry. The HR department will definitely consider my recommendation, and I’ll have them arrange a more relaxed job for you.”

It was Zuo Ling’s first time visiting, so naturally, he wanted to establish a good relationship.

In this family, only he and Mo Qishen were outsiders. Therefore, the first person he wanted to win over was Mo Qishen.

Mo Qishen didn’t have formal employment, and if Zuo Ling threw him an olive branch, Mo Qishen would surely grasp it tightly. Then, in the company, he would be Mo Qishen’s supervisor, and Mo Qishen would be at his beck and call.

“Thanks for the offer, but no need,” Mo Qishen politely declined.

Zuo Ling didn’t expect Mo Qishen to actually turn him down, thinking to himself that this guy really aimed high. He had no notable education, yet he looked down on being a general worker.

How did such a pretty future sister-in-law fall for someone like him?

He himself was in such good standing but didn’t have such romantic luck.

Really strange!

Zuo Ling encouraged Mo Qishen, “Bro, don’t look at me now as the workshop supervisor. I also started from being a general worker and worked my way up step by step. As long as you’re willing to put in the effort, I believe that one day you too can become a workshop supervisor or even a higher-ranking leader!”

Who could get fat on one breath?

Mo Qishen politely smiled.

Since Mo Qishen didn’t continue the conversation, Zuo Ling couldn’t say much more, and the two entered the kitchen.

“Grandma, Granny, you’ve worked hard.” Mo Qishen wasn’t prone to jests in front of outsiders, but he was a sweet-talker with his family, and with just a few words, he made both Grandma Shangguan and Granny Zheng very happy.

Seeing this, Zuo Ling frowned subtly.

He was somewhat displeased with Mo Qishen’s behavior.

Wasn’t a man supposed to be manly? What was this smooth-talking all about?

“Aunt Six, no need for you to serve the dishes. You can go and rest with Xiaozuo,” said Grandma Shangguan.

Just as Zuo Ling was about to respond, pleased with Grandma Shangguan’s suggestion, he heard Mo Qishen say, “It’s okay, Granny. We’ll do it.”

So, Zuo Ling had no choice but to join Mo Qishen in serving the dishes.

Dinner was lavish. Although the Shangguans lived in the countryside, the meal was better than what his family usually had, which surprised Zuo Ling. It seemed the Shangguan family had prepared this especially to welcome him!

During the meal, Zuo Ling occasionally offered food to Shangguan Xi.

The two had been together for over three years, and Zuo Ling was very familiar with Shangguan Xi’s tastes.

Xu Lian and Shangguan Furong noticed this detail and showed satisfaction in their eyes.

After dinner and a little more sitting, Shangguan Xi walked Zuo Ling back.

Just stepping out the door, Zuo Ling noticed a small sedan parked at the doorstep and asked in surprise, “Xiaoxi, whose car is that?”

Shangguan Xi nonchalantly said, “I think it’s from the television station.”

Because Shangguan Dehui had previously instructed her, during her school days, Shangguan Xi had deliberately concealed her family background. No one knew she came from a wealthy household, not even Zuo Ling.

“The television station?” Zuo Ling was puzzled.

Shangguan Xi continued, “Didn’t my sister top the high school exams this year? That car belongs to a journalist who came to interview her, but something broke and it can’t start, so it’s been parked here. In a few days, the station will send someone to tow it away.”

“High school exam top scorer!” Zuo Ling was even more surprised. “Your sister is the top scorer for the high school exams!”

“Yes,” nodded Shangguan Xi.

“Then your sister really lacks judgment, having such a boyfriend as a high school exam top scorer,” Zuo Ling said. “Didn’t she become foolish from reading too much?”

What of being a high school exam top scorer? After all, she chose a boyfriend with neither education nor a job!

That showed high school exam top scorers were nothing special after all.

Shangguan Xi replied with a serious face, “Don’t talk nonsense! Yangyang is the smartest person in our family. Moreover, if my sister chose Mo Qishen, he must have something exceptional about him. And I also think Mo Qishen is much more than he seems.”
