Chapter 5: Zhu Xiaohua's "Flower"

Zhu Xiaohua glared at Zhou Yi, neither eating nor drinking, panting heavily. After a long while, she rolled her eyes and scolded, "I might as well call you 'Boss'! Boss, if you have such a good job, could you please help me get one? I will definitely switch jobs!"

When Zhou Yi arrived at the 'Old Place' hotel, he immediately began to patrol the lobby. According to the habits of the chubby man, even if the private rooms did not require a minimum consumption, he would not go there. Within ten steps, there must be fragrant grass; with over a hundred people in the lobby, how could there not be a few beauties? Zhu Xiaohua has always believed that delicious food is worth savoring, and beauty is even more so, so she was certainly in the lobby.

A leisurely attitude towards life naturally includes the appreciation of beauty, which is a normal and positive inclination. Therefore, after some contemplation, the Book of Changes incorporated this condition.

What about the final bottom line, are you negotiating?

Zhou Yi looked at Zhu Xiaohua with hopeful eyes, even raising the wine glass in front of him: "I toast to you, boss, I entrust everything to you! Truly, I need a job like this"

I know you must have a way

The fat man is on the verge of tears, yet this utterly shameless guy turns out to be his good brother, his close buddy

Indeed, Zhou Yi immediately spotted Zhu Xiaohua sitting in the corner by the wall. This individual was squinting, half-lying on the dining table in a feigned slumber, with a pair of eyes that should belong to an underground worker of our party in a movie, occasionally scanning the room, fixating on several women in the hotel who were either moderately or fairly attractive, wearing a lewd expression.

Because Comrade Xiaohua is too altruistic... What the female comrades think is what he thinks; the matters of the female comrades are his matters; the difficulties of the female comrades are his difficulties; the lovers of the female comrades... Of course, still belong to the female comrades

Zhu Xiaohua laughed shamelessly

It is no exaggeration to say that during school, half of the girls in the dormitory sought help from Comrade Xiaohua to fetch meals; and after starting work, it goes without saying that if any female colleague forgot to have breakfast, just a phone call to Comrade Xiaohua would ensure that it was promptly prepared, bringing a warmth akin to spring, a realm only achieved by Uncle Lei Feng

Is this still not enough? Can you finish it all?

The dishes arrived quickly, and Zhu Xiaohua seemed like a starving ghost reincarnated, downing two bottles of beer and finishing an entire pig's trotter before finally opening her mouth: "Lao San, what’s wrong with you these days? You seem even lazier than I am when it comes to work. Just tell me, how many jobs have I introduced to you? This time it’s still a lecturer position at Chudu Medical University... You said you wouldn’t teach specialized courses, claiming that teaching philosophy is more relaxed. I had to plead with the principal for you, and he only agreed because of my family’s connection to Old Taishan. Just tell me, how many jobs have I introduced to you? This time it’s still a lecturer position at Chudu Medical University... You said you wouldn’t teach specialized courses, claiming that teaching philosophy is more relaxed. I had to plead with the principal for you, and he only agreed because of my family’s connection to Old Taishan. You, on the other hand, went to class and revealed your personal views, saying that life is like a sandpit. How could the principal not explode?"

One must not lack principles in life

It’s me again, boss. You are the eldest among our five brothers, the deputy section chief of the Human Resources Bureau. Surely, you can take advantage of the situation and make a fortune, right? I don’t even have a job...

To explore the beauty of the world, one must frequently visit the dining hall

This has stumped you, hasn't it? It can't be, right? You are the Deputy Section Chief of the Human Resources Bureau of our Chudu City, responsible for personnel transfers, aren't you

Feeling parched, Zhu Xiaohua raised a glass of beer and downed it: "Lao San, why don't you tell me what kind of job you actually want? Surely you don't expect me, the boss, to arrange for you to be a mayor or a provincial governor, do you?"

Although Comrade Xiaohua also found a sense of satisfaction similar to 'self-comfort' while helping Zhou Yi look for a job, there must be a limit to such matters. Moreover, Zhou's father is known for his fiery temper, and he has frequently made long-distance calls to urge him. On several occasions, just as Comrade Xiaohua was about to ask 'Hua Duo' for that thing, he was abruptly interrupted, nearly leading to a fit of anger.

I... ... will be fine... ...

This is the realm... Don't even mention the likes of Lao Er, Lao Si, and Lao Wu; even Zhou Yi, who is said to be his all-encompassing nemesis, must absolutely concede in this regard.

Therefore, Comrade Xiaohua would rather give up this sense of pleasure than find a way to arrange for Zhou Yi to leave as soon as possible. The matter of Zhou Yi finding a job has already begun to affect his happiness in life.

Zhou Yi spread his hands wide and looked at Zhu Xiaohua with an innocent expression: "I am being very serious; this is already my final bottom line"

Mayor or Governor? I have no interest in that

Although this Northern Han man is somewhat stingy and a bit effeminate

Zhu Xiaohua gritted her teeth and said with some difficulty, "Let me think, let me think for a moment..."

Zhou Yi smiled, realizing that it was time for him to find a job; otherwise, he would not even pass his father's scrutiny. Well, this time he decided to adopt a serious attitude and cooperate with Fatty: "Whether it's a civil servant or a position in a public institution, I don't mind. As for the salary... as long as it is enough for me to eat, that's fine. I only request that the library does not have fixed working hours; it would be best if I could come and go as I please. Additionally, the working environment should be pleasant; ideally, I would like to work in a beautiful and serene place. Hmm... Oh, right, the workload shouldn't be too heavy; I need some time to read books and newspapers and to learn about the Four Modernizations.

Additionally, the working environment should be pleasant; ideally, I would like to work in a beautiful and serene place. Hmm... Oh, right, the workload shouldn't be too heavy; I need some time to read books and newspapers and to learn about the Four Modernizations. And also... it would be great if there are some attractive women in the unit; a mix of men and women makes work less tiring... Of course, this last condition is not a strict requirement."

Zhu Xiaohua was filled with rage; if it weren't for the knowledge that the shameless individual before him had superior physical abilities, he would have truly wanted to jump up and strangle Zhou Yi

Zhou Yi sat across from the fat man with a displeased expression, shaking his head repeatedly. This guy is good at everything, except he prioritizes women over friends, is generous to women but stingy with his brothers, and he seems to take pleasure in it. At times, it really makes one want to give him a good beating

Zhu Xiaohua was originally named Zhu Aotian. Although he is not as imposing as Long Aotian, who has made countless heroes bow down, with his height of 1.85 meters and weight of 260 pounds, along with his thick eyebrows, big eyes, and square face, even the most cantankerous troublemaker must admit that he is a proper northern man.

Even when Zhou Yi approached him, he failed to notice it. It was only when Zhou Yi slapped him on the shoulder that he suddenly became surprised, trembling as he said to the plump figure of the book, "Why did you just arrive? You're treating today."

Certainly, in the eyes of the guys, Zhu Xiaohua's 'flower' can only be interpreted as infatuation.

The nickname "Little Flower" actually originates from the affectionate terms used by women comrades. Whether it is female classmates from university, female colleagues after entering the workforce, or even direct female superiors, they all speak highly of this "Little Flower".

I can't believe it!

I can't finish it, so I'll take it away. I'll have a late-night snack with your sister-in-law tonight. Thanks in advance, brother

Nonsense, this is for your sake, who else would you invite? I am just a struggling public servant, while you have overseas connections and can easily embrace capitalism at any time, yet you keep thinking about shortchanging us proletarians

Zhu Xiaohua snorted, waved over the waiter, and ordered a total of six dishes and one soup, along with a case of ice-cold beer, before contentedly saying: "Let's start with these; if it's not enough, we'll talk about it later"

Zhu Xiaohua said this, and she was quite pleased with herself while saying it. Zhou Yi and his friends truly could not help but admire her; she was so affectionate outside that she could even persuade the thorny 'flowers' at home to be utterly devoted. She would praise my little flower as a good comrade and a good husband to anyone she encountered, assuring them that he would definitely be a good father in the future
