School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert-Chapter 515 - 516: Family

"I..." Xiao Zhicheng awkwardly looked at Xiao Han and said, "Just my wife and me!"

"Well, that settles it then," Xiao Han shook his head and said, "I need to find someone who is capable of doing the job. If you're interested, you can start as a regular employee at the company. If you show outstanding ability, you can be promoted to manager later."

"But..." Xiao Zhicheng said with an embarrassed face, "Even that silly kid Lian Dahai can work as an employee in your company, it wouldn't be right for me to..."

"What's not right about it?" Xiao Han asked, puzzled.

To tell the truth, between Xiao Zhicheng and Xiao Dahai, Xiao Han actually preferred to hire Xiao Dahai. After all, Xiao Dahai was honest and straightforward, with no hidden agendas. Although he wasn't very smart, he would definitely follow the management's orders.

In contrast, Xiao Zhicheng, although a bit smarter, was too scheming just like his mother. It was already exceptionally generous to have him working at the store; nobody knew what kind of trouble he would stir up there. If he were made manager, the store might not be able to continue operating.

So, Xiao Han had his own plans.

"My abilities are surely better than his," Xiao Zhicheng hurriedly said.

"If you don't show it, how would I know?" Xiao Han retorted, "We're not that close; how could I know how capable you are?"

Xiao Han's words immediately left Xiao Zhicheng speechless.

Xiao Zhicheng was also confused. After a long while, he spoke up, "Alright, you'll see eventually."

After speaking, Xiao Zhicheng pulled his wife and left.

"Hey, Zhicheng, why are you leaving just like that?" Mother Xiao hurriedly chased out of the house.

"I've got other things to attend to, going back first," Xiao Zhicheng replied irritably, then drove off with his wife.

Mother Xiao was puzzled and quickly asked Xiao Han, "What happened?"

"Nothing!" Xiao Han shook his head and said, "I just didn't agree to one of his requests."

"What request?" Mother Xiao asked, "He seemed so angry."

"He wanted to be the manager of our company," Xiao Han replied.

"I see," Mother Xiao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Then, we should prioritize the affairs of your company and not misuse someone just because they're a relative."

"I know!" Xiao Han said with a smile, feeling somewhat relieved that his mother was being so open-minded for once and not speaking up for her own relatives.

That evening, Xiao Minghua arrived at Xiao's family home with his wife and child.

He was holding a gift in his hand.

"Sister-in-law, we've come to see you," Xiao Minghua entered warmly, and his wife also smiled. Meanwhile, Xiao Dahai curiously looked around, seemingly searching for Xiao Han's presence.

"You're here now, why bring anything!" Mother Xiao quickly said.

Xiao Minghua's smile broadened, he chuckled and then said, "It's the least I can do!"

"Sit down, I'll make some tea for you!" Mother Xiao called out.

"Sister-in-law, we're all family here, there's no need for you to go to any trouble," Xiao Minghua said, taking a seat on the sofa and then asked, "Where's Xiao Han?"

"He's in the room," Mother Xiao replied.

As they spoke, Xiao Han came out of the room and greeted them.

Xiao Dahai's mother looked at Xiao Han with eyes that shone, getting straight to the point, she said, "Xiao Han, school starts tomorrow at your place, doesn't it?"

"Yes," Xiao Han nodded.

"Then..." Xiao Dahai's mother said awkwardly, "When can our Dahai start working at your company?"

"He can report to the company tomorrow," Xiao Han replied, "Someone will arrange the work for him."

"And the salary..." she asked excitedly, looking at Xiao Han.

"It will be based on the standard salary for our regular employees," Xiao Han said, "A monthly salary of three thousand five hundred, with social insurances and housing fund, plus end-of-year bonuses and performance incentives. The annual salary should be around fifty thousand. If you agree, he can start working tomorrow, if not, then there's nothing else I can do."

"That's fine!" Xiao Minghua immediately nodded and said, "The salary is acceptable."

"Yes, yes," Xiao Dahai's mother also nodded and then pushed Xiao Dahai, saying, "Dahai, hurry up and thank your brother."

"Thank you, Brother Han," Xiao Dahai, simple and honest, showed a genuine smile on his face.

"Don't mention it!" Xiao Han shook his head.

Xiao Minghua chatted with Xiao Han for a bit more in the house, encouraging him to study well and strive to expand and strengthen the company. After chatting for more than half an hour, the family left Xiao Han's home.

Xiao Han's family had never been this lively before. Now, because Xiao Han had become successful, all the relatives from Xiao's family began to visit and curry favor. They all hoped that Xiao Han could give them a good job, since it was a company run by their own relative, which would be easier to negotiate with. Unlike other companies with no personal touch, which were completely exploitative like capitalists.

The next day, Xiao Han drove back to school.

After a month-long break, returning to school, he already felt the bustling atmosphere. Many people had returned to school early, and there were even some who hadn't gone home for the New Year, choosing to celebrate at school instead. There were designated teachers at the school responsible for socializing with them, and they had prepared a lavish New Year's Eve dinner for these students, ensuring they had a lively celebration.

Back in the dorm.

Zhang Dagou and Liu Bin had already arrived at the school. Zhang Dagou had come to school two days earlier, and since Liu Bin was from the provincial city, he arrived early in the morning.

"Xiao Han, you're back?" Liu Bin excitedly looked at Xiao Han.

"How come both of you have gained weight?" Xiao Han asked in return.

"Ah, how could we not?" Liu Bin said helplessly. "Once I'm home, it's all kinds of rich food. It's impossible not to gain weight."

"Yeah!" Zhang Dagou nodded and said, "Xiao Mei also gained weight."

Xiao Han put his things down, then began to tidy up his bed. The bedding had been washed and aired out during the New Year, still carrying the scent of sunshine.

While Xiao Han was busy, Liu Bin excitedly said from the side, "Xiao Han, I have some good news to tell you!"

"What's the good news?" Xiao Han asked, puzzled.

"Guan Xiaotong finally agreed to be my girlfriend," Liu Bin said excitedly.

"Ah?" Xiao Han was so shocked that he almost dropped the cup in his hand. He quickly caught it and laughed, "That's really great news, man. You'll have to treat us to a meal."

"Of course, of course," Liu Bin said excitedly. "Once Zhang Feng comes back, we'll all go out. We'll eat with a few girls from the Business and Trade School."

"Sure!" Xiao Han nodded.

He continued to sort his belongings, finding a month's worth of dust on his bed and desk. Xiao Han wiped everything down meticulously.

As Xiao Han was busy, Lan Yudie arrived.

"Teacher Lan." The two guys engrossed in their video games stood up to greet her.

"Everyone's here?" Lan Yudie greeted them with a gentle smile,

"We're just missing Zhang Feng!" Liu Bin chuckled.

When Lan Yudie looked at Xiao Han, her cheeks noticeably reddened. Remembering the things she did at Xiao Han's house, her face turned even redder, the blush spreading from her cheeks to her ears, and from her ears down to her neck.

"Teacher Lan, why is your face so red?" Liu Bin noticed Lan Yudie's unusual appearance.

"Ah?" Hearing this, Lan Yudie hurriedly covered her face, saying, "Do I... really?"

"Yes!" Liu Bin nodded.

Lan Yudie could feel her cheeks burning. She said awkwardly, "No... nothing. Maybe it's because I drank a little wine at noon."

"Oh..." Liu Bin realized.

Xiao Han glanced at Lan Yudie and roughly understood what was happening. In fact, seeing Lan Yudie made him feel a bit awkward as well. Although Xiao Han was of age, he wasn't a veteran in the realm of romance and couldn't maintain a cool composure without blushing or skipping a heartbeat.

"Xiao Yu..." Xiao Han smiled and said, "Don't just stand there, help me make the bed."

"Okay!" Lan Yudie hurried over and began to help Xiao Han with his chores.

Xiao Han had a lot to do: the bed needed making, the desk organizing, and both needed to be wiped down before he could settle in. Lan Yudie set aside her pride to help Xiao Han with his tasks. Zhang Dagou and Liu Bin looked on with envy.

"Ah, if only I had a girlfriend like that, how nice would it be?" Zhang Dagou said eagerly.

"Don't you have Zhang Xiaomei?" Liu Bin shot him a glance and said, "Da Gu, you aren't the fickle type, are you?"

"Heh heh, like you need to tell me that?" Zhang Dagou chuckled, a sly smile on his face.

Lan Yudie kept her head down as she worked, meticulous and serious.

Xiao Han arranged all the books on his desk, neat and tidy. This time, he had also brought a new computer, an Apple. However, Xiao Han wasn't accustomed to Apple's system, so he simply asked the store to install a dual system for him. The same computer ran two systems: Apple's own MAC system and the WIN10 system. He typically used Microsoft's system, but since Apple's computer is most classic for its own system, it would be a waste to remove it. Therefore, Xiao Han decided to keep it.

"Wow, did you get the latest Apple computer, kid?" Liu Bin said in surprise when he saw Xiao Han take the computer out of the box.

"Yeah!" Xiao Han nodded.

The reason he got such a computer wasn't just for personal need but also for business purposes. Now that he was about to establish a group company, there would inevitably be frequent meetings, as well as lots of email correspondence. Without a computer, it would be quite inconvenient for him.

"That computer wasn't cheap, right?" Liu Bin quickly said.

"It wasn't as much as you earned last time, though!" Xiao Han retorted unexpectedly.

Liu Bin laughed cheerfully, saying nothing more.
