Chapter 1829 - 1915: Snobs
The second cousin starts boasting again.
"Hehe, Xiulan, your man is really doing well at the Junyue Group!"
The third cousin says somewhat unhappily. Today she’s in a bad mood because her boyfriend actually dared to mess with her, just texted her saying not to be so materialistic, and said he hates materialistic women the most.
"Junyue Group? You’re from Junyue Group?"
Su Xuan curiously looked at this brother-in-law upon hearing about Junyue Group.
"What, Xiao Zhang, even you’ve heard of Junyue Group, and your outfit looks exactly like those of Junyue Group’s construction workers, hehe, what a coincidence!"
The brother-in-law sarcastically said. Actually, the brother-in-law Shu Tiansheng was so negative towards Su Xuan because this old lecher had always wanted to get with the pure student girl Cheng Ling’er, who worked and lived here. In his view, this woman would eventually be his.
But unexpectedly, Su Xuan appeared out of nowhere and shattered his dream, naturally making him displeased.
"Really, so you’re a Junyue Group construction worker, hahaha..."
The elder cousin laughed heartily, almost to the point of tears.
"Honey, doesn’t this mean you’re the one who takes care of what he eats!"
The second cousin excitedly said.
"Hehe, yes, those construction workers are so uncivilized, they eat anything, elder cousin. This is under brother-in-law’s management, oh. You should tell brother-in-law not to let people out randomly during work hours!"
Shu Tiansheng said arrogantly.
"Hehe, everyone is family, let’s forget it. But cousin, tell your boyfriend not to do this next time, or it’ll be hard for my husband to control, right?"
The elder cousin said smugly.
Cheng Ling’er rolled her eyes, thinking to herself, are you insane? Su Xuan is the boss.
"Didn’t you sneak out during work hours too?"
Su Xuan curiously asked Shu Tiansheng.
"Hehe, can we be the same? I’m a leader, naturally I can go out, while you’re just a construction worker, you can’t come and go as you please!"
"Hehe, seems like the company doesn’t have rules allowing leaders to go out either!"
Su Xuan sneered.
"Kid, who do you think you are, trying to control me? Believe it or not, I’ll have you kicked out of Junyue Group, a mere laborer trying to boss me around, I tell you, I earn enough in a day to crush you!"
Shu Tiansheng said arrogantly.
"Really? As far as I know, the logistics supervisor earns just over ten thousand a month, how are you going to crush me? Actually, a construction worker’s salary can be higher than yours!"
What Su Xuan said was true; many look down on construction workers, but in fact, many suited and tied individuals earn less than construction workers.
On construction sites, some quick-handed workers earn an average of twenty thousand a month, while logistics supervisors earn only ten thousand.
"Idiot, the brother-in-law makes money with his brain, not everyone is like you, relying on brute force!"
The third cousin said disdainfully.
"Oh, so you’re saying you’re taking side gigs, huh? That’s why our meals are so poor, going straight into your pocket!"
"Brat, watch your mouth, you can eat shamelessly but not talk shamelessly!" Shu Tiansheng was actually worried Su Xuan might spread rumors at the construction site, which could be troublesome if the boss hears.
"Brother-in-law, what’s the worry? Tonight I’ll tell your brother-in-law to fire him, and Ling’er, stop being with him. Who have you even been associating with? You, a respectable Huaqing University student, dating a construction worker; aren’t you embarrassing us? Imagine if someone asks who my sister married, should I say she married a construction worker? Shameful or not!"
The elder cousin said arrogantly.
"Elder cousin, is your husband really powerful?"
Su Xuan pondered, hearing her talk about her husband, thinking he must be from Junyue.
"Hehe, of course, my husband’s monthly salary is two hundred thousand. Xiao Zhang, you probably earn a maximum of ten thousand, exhausting yourself like a dog, right? I warn you, stay away from my sister, don’t embarrass yourself here!"
The elder cousin said disdainfully.
"Elder cousin, don’t be too much. Let’s not say my husband isn’t a construction worker; even if he were, what’s it to you? Who I marry is my business!"
Cheng Ling’er was speechless; this woman seemed to be brainless!
"You... Ling’er, you..." The elder cousin looked anguished, but Su Xuan knew they weren’t genuinely concerned for Cheng Ling’er. These people, frankly, found a better husband and started to disdain those still struggling, to highlight their own ’nobility.’
"Are you really from Junyue Realty?"
Su Xuan curiously asked Shu Tiansheng.
"Is there any lie to that? Kid, you just wait, I remember you, going back I’ll have you thrown out of Junyue; Ling’er, hate me or resent me, I cannot let someone like this ruin your life!"
The brother-in-law said pretentiously, but in Su Xuan’s view, this person was more of a hypocrite than anyone else, eyeing Ling’er with a lecherous gaze, clearly wanting to possess her.
"You really don’t know me?"
Su Xuan also found it strange; he’s held meetings in the company attended by everyone at the supervisory level and above, didn’t expect him to have missed it!
"Why should I know you, who do you think you are!"
The brother-in-law said arrogantly, intending to continue, but paused because the rich kid took a call and walked in.
"What’s the conversation about, so lively!"
The rich kid said, sitting next to Su Xuan, pouring him a drink.
"Brother, this whole table of people, I think you’re the only one who seems human; all others aren’t human, I toast you!"
This rich kid spoke quite bluntly; after finishing, he felt awkward and looked at Cheng Ling’er.
"Of course, cousin, you also seem human!"
Everyone’s faces twitched; they naturally understood what the spoiled rich kid meant.
"Done chatting with number two!"
Su Xuan said mischievously.
"Cough cough... Finished chatting, brother, I respect those hardworking construction workers the most. Honestly, I’m a person without prospects; if not for being born well, I’d just be eating and waiting to die."
This spoiled rich kid spoke really playfully.
"Hehe, brother speaks straightforwardly, I toast you. I just heard you’re with Dynasty International!"
"Yes, I am. My dad is President Lan, I’m President Lan Junior, just drifting along, brother. I envy you, finding such a pretty girlfriend who isn’t after money, while mine from number one to eighteen are all chasing after the President Lan behind me!"
This spoiled rich kid said, turning on the phone, leaving Su Xuan speechless, as it turned out, there were numbers one to eighteen.
