Chapter 1203: Chapter 525: The Many Faces of Humanity
At this ti, it was during the New Year period, and private rooms at Wangyue Building were hard to book. Fortunately, Zhou Guobin had so accomplishnts in this small county, and he managed to book a private room with three tables.
The room was decorated in a new Chinese style, and relatives of the Zhou Family from all around the world, including relatives from Zhou Yuwen’s mother’s side, were chatting away animatedly. It seed they hadn’t t for a long ti, and thanks to Zhou Yuwen, they were reunited. When they ntioned Zhou Yuwen, everyone pointed their thumbs up, calling him a pride. So guessed he hadn’t been ho for a long ti, speaking in Mandarin, claiming that now when they go out, they say they’re Yuwen’s second uncle, but people don’t believe them. “How can they not believe it? I used to hold Yuwen when he was little.”
“Do you all rember? At Yuwen’s full month banquet, I was there.”
“Yes, yes, I rember at Yuwen’s hundred-day banquet he grabbed an ink brush and an abacus. Isn’t it obvious, being cultured, and capable in business?”
“Yes, indeed.”
Zhou Yuwen’s original plan was to first send Li Shiqi ho, but so many relatives gathering at once made it hard for Zhou Yuwen to leave, so he had to bring Li Shiqi and Liu Shuo over together. Zhou Yuwen asked Li Shiqi if she wanted Liu Shuo to take her ho first.
Li Shiqi shook her head, indicating it was no bother.
Zhou Yuwen was sowhat worried, suggesting the banquet wouldn’t end anyti soon.
As they were talking, Zhou Yuwen’s mother, Yang Lirong, ca over, pulling Zhou Yuwen and saying that the relatives were all seated, and he should go over and say a few words.
Zhou Yuwen didn’t know what to say; he was living his second life, and so relatives he barely rembered even in his previous life until he was thirty, suddenly appeared.
What could Zhou Yuwen say? In the past, he wouldn’t have thought about these things, and soon becoming an estate owner, he hadn’t thought of helping them much. But under his parent’s direction, Zhou Yuwen would greet people appropriately and drank the necessary wine.
After rounds of drinking and dishes, everyone started talking about business, like asking Zhou Yuwen what business he was in.
Zhou Yuwen said he’s currently doing shared bicycles.
Shared?
Bicycles?
What is that?
These relatives were all in their forties, and were sowhat outdated. Zhou Yuwen explained it was like putting a bicycle on the street for anyone who wanted to ride it.
Upon hearing this, many frowned, wondering what happens if soone rides off and doesn’t return it?
Moreover, if they ride off and damage the bicycle, what happens?
Zhou Yuwen shook his head, saying it won’t happen; the cost of a bicycle is not high, and the purpose of this project was not profit but convenience for others.
Upon hearing this, so relatives frowned, saying this wouldn’t work.
Yuwen, your uncles and aunts know you’re talented and have made money.
But, you’re still young.
This society is complicated, and so people, the better you treat them,
The more they take advantage.
Haven’t you heard of “a cup of rice as grace, a dou of rice as feud”?
You’re giving them free rides now, but in the future, if the bikes cause issues, they’ll co to you.
“Exactly, exactly, Yuwen, your uncles are right, you should listen. We may not be as successful, but we’re older and see things more clearly.”
Zhou Yuwen listened and nodded with a smile, but didn’t say much.
Seeing Zhou Yuwen accepted their advice, they felt rather proud, perhaps thinking, “Even billionaires are just kids and lack social experience.”
Then they continued asking, “Hey, Yuwen, where’s your company headquarters?”
How many people are in your company now?
How do you recruit?
“It’s not good to keep hiring outsiders; it’s more reliable to use family.”
“Look at the Ming Dynasty’s Zhu Yuanzhang; he used his godsons and sons for battles. Why? Because family has blood ties; others don’t.”
“By the way, your cousin is graduating next year.”
Talking about recruitnt opened up more conversations, and everyone wanted to volunteer themselves.
Even the elder aunt in the Zhou Family chid in, telling others to stop. She said, “You all don’t even know what major each other studied. Yuwen’s is a big company; not everyone can just join easily.”
“I don’t even want to talk about your eldest cousin.”
“Your son dropped out before finishing technical school, got a job through Uncle No.3, found it tiring after half a month, and now has the nerve to co?”
The elder aunt pointed fingers at them, leaving relatives speechless. They wanted to retort but feared her sharp tongue.
After rounding up everyone, she finally said, “Want to work in Wenwen’s company?”
“My son Xiaoyong even studied abroad. When Yuwen was little, Xiaoyong played with Wenwen all the ti but never shalessly asked Wenwen for a job. How could you?”
“Right, Wenwen, if you’re really arranging jobs, shouldn’t you at least arrange one for your cousin?”
She said, looking at Zhou Yuwen.
Zhou Yuwen listened and just smiled. He spoke as if to his aunt but also to everyone, saying the company recently finished autumn recruitnt and wasn’t lacking positions. But, last ti when returning, he collaborated with the city on a logistics park, which indeed needed manpower. “Aunt, if it’s really appropriate, feel free to send your child’s resu, and I’ll see if there’s a suitable position.”
