Chapter 158 - 102: Family Quest! Seriously?
The young people of the Chen Family don’t have an easy time working outside. There’s a saying: "It’s hard to eat crap, and it’s hard to earn money," especially when dealing with those annoying leaders.
Chen Jun was in such a situation. He missed his leader’s birthday due to some reasons, and since then, he was always given a hard time, constantly arranged for overtime, working like a horse for a monthly salary of 7500.
So, when he saw the message from Sister Xiaoyu in the group, he decided to go back.
He used to be one of the little followers behind Sister Xiaoyu and Brother Han; when they played house, Sister Xiaoyu would be the mom, Brother Han the dad, and he always played the son.
By rounding up, Brother Han was like a godfather who rescued him from suffering.
The key point is that Brother Han is truly powerful now. He also watched the video of him wall-climbing and roof-soaring, a skill he never knew about in the past. He’s been hiding it deep.
Is this what the elders in the family often referred to as the Main Family?
However, he wanted to take his girlfriend back too, so he privately messaged Sister Xiaoyu to see if she could arrange a position for his girlfriend as well. When he saw Sister Xiaoyu reply with an "Ok," his face lit up with joy.
Just as he was feeling happy, a chubby man with a big head and ears came over and directly dropped a stack of documents on the table: "Chen Jun, playing on your phone during work, with so much free time, get these done too. If you can’t finish, work overtime tonight!"
This made his surrounding colleagues look over, each giving him a sympathetic glance, but since it wasn’t their business, they looked down as though they hadn’t seen anything. After all, the leader was the boss’s brother-in-law.
Chen Jun looked at the documents and, this time, simply pushed them off the table with his fingers. When he didn’t want to serve, this man was nothing.
The leader immediately got angry: "You don’t want to work anymore?"
"If my resignation letter isn’t approved, I’ll be your son!" Chen Jun said while provocatively flipping the middle finger at the guy, feeling thrilled by the leader’s disgruntled appearance.
Having backing and confidence is a great feeling.
"If I don’t approve, I’ll take your last name." Once the supervisor realized he was quitting, without the protection of his leadership status, he was helpless and could only leave after saying something harsh.
Not long after, Chen Jun left the company and went straight to a restaurant, where he met his girlfriend working as a waitress.
"Chen Jun, at this time, aren’t you supposed to be at work?" his girlfriend asked in confusion.
"I quit, going back home," Chen Jun said straightforwardly. Seeing his girlfriend’s tense expression after hearing this, he smiled and took her hand, "I’m bringing you with me. The family has arranged jobs for both of us!"
"Ah?" His girlfriend was visibly surprised. She knew her boyfriend’s family conditions weren’t very good. How did a family just emerge?
Chen Jun smiled and showed her a video of Brother Han wall-climbing and roof-soaring: "Do you know who he is?"
"That Patriarch Chen!" his girlfriend said.
"My last name is Chen; he’s the clan leader of our family," Chen Jun said with an indescribable pride, "When we both go back to work, both salaries are 5000, with room and board included. Besides, my mom gets 5000, my grandfather 3500, and my dad earns 7000 from picking bamboo leaves. Later, when the clan does housing, our family can spare a room for 400 per day. If we’re lucky, we might make over ten thousand a month, and soon enough, I’ll have enough to marry you."
"???" His girlfriend was evidently stunned by the news.
She always thought her boyfriend’s family was average, matching her own. How did it suddenly turn into a job distribution?
After a detailed calculation, his family could earn more than 30,000 a month?
Chen Jun wasn’t the only one. Many young members of the Chen Family decisively quit their jobs, rising from being treated as workhorses. This newfound confidence filled their trust in Patriarch Chen Han to the brim.
Eager to return and serve the patriarch.
...
Meanwhile, Chen Han was with Youcai, along with a group of dogs, and Uncle Dagou, heading to the Frying Pan Furnace where the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea was made.
The family task prompt they received before clearly indicated that someone had set their sights on the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea. According to the task requirements, two things needed to be done to complete the task; one was to establish the Demon Suppression Hall.
He had already instructed Uncle Dagou about that.
What’s left is to deal with the Demon Path Demons who had infiltrated the family grounds.
Among the Shushan Alliance, Yang Chengzhi loved engaging in petty thieving from the start, and after joining the Demon Dao, many of his subordinates followed suit. So, according to the system’s abstraction, the Demon Path Demons might be thieves...
Hence, their target would definitely be the Frying Pan Furnace here.
So, he also instructed Chen Dagou, "Uncle Dagou, someone will come here to steal the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea in the next two days. Remember to keep an eye out at that time, and I’ll also have Youcai and the others guard here."
Just imagine, with so many dogs, the moment they arrive, they’ll be surrounded. I wonder if they’ll be scared senseless.
Uncle Chen Dagou, surprised, asked, "Xiaohan, how do you know a thief is coming? Are you clairvoyant?"
Just as he finished speaking, a sudden clattering sound came from outside, indicating someone’s presence.
Woof woof! ~
Youcai immediately barked, and then led the pack of dogs out. Soon after, two panicked voices were heard:
"Don’t come over!"
"Get lost, go away!"
"Woof woof!"
"Woof woof!"
Almost simultaneously, Chen Han stared in amazement at the game notification that appeared in his mind:
[You received a message from the Shushan Alliance indicating that the Demon Path Demons who infiltrated the family grounds intended to steal the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea. As a precaution, you deployed the Dog Demon Race to lie in ambush there. As expected, the Demon Cult Demons under Yang Chengzhi’s command fell into the trap. They could only unleash all their skills to entangle with the Dog Demon King and attempt to flee. After a day and night of pursuit, they were finally captured due to severe exhaustion by the Dog Demon Race!]
Chen Han was bewildered.
Is this really happening?
Did they walk right into the trap this quickly?
Seriously, did a day and night really pass? Did Youcai and the others even take ten seconds to rush out?
