Chapter 179 - 110: Chen Han: Daoist Master, I’ve Made It! (2)
"Are those the stray dogs you’ve adopted?" Chen Jun was also very surprised. He had seen related videos before and wondered, do dogs work at Chen Family now?
Chen Duojin glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao behind Chen Jun and asked, "Is this your girlfriend?"
"Hello, Uncle, I’m Lin Xiaoxiao." Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly introduced herself.
"Lucky boy," Chen Duojin grinned. After removing the dog’s armor, he greeted Chen Jun, "Your mom has made dinner, put down your luggage and eat first!"
"Alright, Dad!" Chen Jun nodded, leading his girlfriend inside. His mom had already prepared a table full of dishes, perhaps because he was bringing his girlfriend home, each dish was prepared meticulously.
Chen Jun felt the warmth of home as soon as he returned from working outside.
After eating, he began to inquire, "Dad, Mom, Chen Family has changed so much, I hardly recognize it. Moreover, Brother Han has become an internet celebrity; he can even do wall-climbing and roof-soaring, and Uncle Dagou and Uncle Shuisheng can perform martial arts."
"I used to be unaware of all this; at first, I thought I had traveled into a novel-like story."
"If I had known Chen Family had all these, I would have shamelessly bugged them to teach me as a child; perhaps I could be wall-climbing and roof-soaring like Brother Han."
Chen Duojin shook his head and said, "You didn’t have the right to know, which means no right to learn."
"Why?" Chen Jun asked, puzzled.
"Because you’re not from the Main Family," Chen Duojin explained simply, "Dagou and Shuisheng’s fathers were split from the Main Family, while your grandfather’s generation had no relation to the Main Family. So, if it weren’t for Patriarch becoming famous online and videos of Dagou and Shuisheng being shared, you might never have known."
Actually, the main reason is he himself wasn’t qualified to know; he only recently heard it from the elders in the clan.
"Ah, now I understand why Grandpa used to tell us to listen to Brother Han!" Chen Jun immediately recalled his childhood, previously didn’t understand, but perhaps he does now.
He previously lacked the qualification to know the Chen Family’s legacy.
Now, it’s his first true insight into Chen Family.
"From now on, refer to him as Patriarch; be respectful," Chen Duojin advised, then remembered something and said, "By the way, later you and Xiaoxiao come with me to register your employment information; you can start working tomorrow, the clan has many things going on, everyone has to get busy."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jun nodded immediately, "Sister Xiaoyu agreed to let Xiaoxiao and me apply for the position of guide."
Chen Duojin instantly replied, "Xiaoxiao can be a guide, you’ll go to the Demon Suppression Hall instead; I had to plead with Dagou for half a day before he agreed to let you go."
"What’s Demon Suppression Hall?" Chen Jun was visibly stunned.
"Security!" Chen Duojin said.
"Ah?" Chen Jun was dumbfounded, quickly expressing, "Dad, I refuse to be security!"
"Pfft!" Lin Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but laugh; earlier, upon hearing the name Demon Suppression Hall, she thought it was an unusual department, who knew it was security.
Giving security a name like Demon Suppression Hall seems as abstract as the Chen Family Patriarch’s videos.
"Are you an idiot?" Chen Duojin chided without any ill intent, "Outwardly you’re security, but internally you can be like Dagou, chance to be in videos with the Patriarch; in videos, you’re a member of the Demon Suppression Hall. In ancient times, you were the Patriarch’s private guard."
"Dagou even mentioned there’s training for Demon Suppression Hall members later, might even teach you martial arts, do you think you’re just any security guard? If you really don’t want to go, I can talk to Dagou."
"No, I’ll go, I’ll go..." Chen Jun hurriedly said, remembering Uncle Dagou’s swift takedown of dog thieves’ prowess, only a fool wouldn’t go.
After dinner, Chen Jun also brought his girlfriend and followed his father out of the house, heading towards the tourist center to a dedicated HR office.
"Xiaoyan, this is my son and his girlfriend, they’re here to register their employment information." Bringing them inside, Chen Duojin spoke to Chen Xiaoyan.
After her husband took their daughter back to the city, Chen Xiaoyan officially started working, handling Chen Family’s HR issues.
Seeing Chen Duojin, she said, "Uncle Duojin, let them give me their ID cards and fill out the employment information. Also, you need to submit your and Auntie’s bank account information; salaries will be distributed uniformly by the bank next month."
"Okay, okay, will bring it to you tomorrow." Chen Duojin said, grinning.
Chen Jun and Lin Xiaoxiao got the employment forms and started filling them out.
Lin Xiaoxiao was very surprised; it was her first time seeing such a family-style business, moreover, a big family. Then she noticed the forms also asked for height, body measurements; Chen Family was going to issue traditional Hanfu, they would wear Hanfu at work.
This made her look forward to it since she had never worn Hanfu before; working in Hanfu would certainly be a unique experience.
After completing the necessary procedures, Chen Jun returned home with his father, then used his phone to send Brother Han a message: "Patriarch, I’ve returned!"
For him, regardless of what Brother Han does, he’s convinced.
When Chen Han received Chen Jun’s message, he had also returned to his room, happy to see this childhood follower back, responded with a petting head emoji.
After all, the person used to be a regular playmate in childhood, often petted on the head.
Putting down his phone, he retrieved the enlightenment talisman he painted earlier this afternoon in the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall from storage.
To enlighten the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable, the enlightenment talisman must be flung accurately, hitting the heart of the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Statue, it’s not something just anyone can achieve, after all, not everyone is like Uncle Nine.
