Chapter 254: You’re Not My Brother~~ You’re My Uncle~~

Chapter 254 You're not a bro, you're an uncle~~

Chenchen tilted his little head and nodded: "Yeah~~ What do you want with my mom~~"

Dongdong stood up: "Auntie Taotao's super busy, she doesn't just see anyone, say your name first."

Chenchen nodded emphatically: "Say your name~~"

The guy looked at the two cute kids and couldn't help but smile, asking:

"Are you the kids on the coconut candy pack?"

Chenchen blinked and looked at Dongdong.

Chenchen knew his uncle had drawn their outlines and printed them on the coconut candy bags, he still had some.

But Chenchen wasn't a clueless toddler anymore; he was the clever Chenchen who'd seen the world:

"You didn't answer~~ our question~~ why you keep asking us stuff~~"

Zhou Shiyan really liked this cute little guy, squatted down and said to Chenchen:

"I'm Zhou Shiyan, you can call me Bro Shiyan."

Chenchen shook his head: "You're older than my uncle~~ You're not a bro~~ You're an uncle~~"

Zhou Shiyan: "..." He was just eighteen, and he couldn't even get called 'bro'?

Dongdong tugged at Chenchen's clothes: "Chenchen, my mom said don't talk to strangers, we don't know him, we can't just call him uncle."

Chenchen nodded emphatically, seriously discussing this with Dongdong:

"Yeah~~ my mom said that too~~ but~~ I just know his name~~ does that mean I know him~~"

Dongdong shook his head: "Nah, he looks shady."

Chenchen disagreed: "I think he seems nice~~"

Dongdong: "What if he's shady?"

Chenchen said: "But~~ we're right at home~~ bad guys can't trick us~~"

Zhou Shiyan: "..." Kids, is it cool to talk about this in front of me?

Didn't your moms teach you not to gossip?

"Right at your door, huh? Thanks, Chenchen." Zhou Shiyan gently patted the little straw hat on the child's head.

"Ah~~" Chenchen grabbed his hat, "Dongdong~~ you just said my name~~ he heard it~~"

Dongdong shrugged: "Now you said my name too, I'm busted..."

...

Su Taotao tried not to laugh as she listened to it all.

The garden and the house were just a wall apart, and she could hear it all clearly.

She noticed Zhou Shiyan as soon as he showed up and started asking questions.

Fu Yuanhang wanted to step out and assess the situation, but Su Taotao held him back.

She wanted to see how the little ones would manage; after all, they were still naive kids, oblivious to the world’s dangers, adorably innocent.

Su Taotao stepped to the door and asked bluntly, "Zhou Shiyan, right? What brings you here?"

When Su Taotao got a clear look at his appearance, she was taken aback. She’d been in the family quarters for a while, and apart from their family, she rarely saw such a fair-skinned, good-looking young man.

He was a youth, caught between boyhood and manhood, wearing a white shirt and black pants, his face youthful and fresh, radiating youthful energy.

Chenchen had a good eye for people; he didn’t strike her as a bad guy.

Chenchen dashed over, clutching his little straw hat: “Mommy~~”

Su Taotao picked up the child: “If Mommy hadn’t come out, would you have given her away?”

Chenchen shook his head: “Not a chance~~”

When Zhou Shiyan saw Su Taotao, his eyes lit up with admiration. Just as the rumors went, she was stunningly beautiful.

He smiled and said, “Hello, Director Su. I’m Zhou Shiyan. My father, like Fu, works as a researcher at the base.

I just graduated from high school this year. I spent the summer at my grandmother’s place in the capital and missed your factory's recruitment.

I’m here to pitch myself. Are there any suitable positions for me in your factory? I’m not afraid of hard work; I’ll do whatever it takes.”

Su Taotao was slightly taken aback by the coincidence. I just asked Xiao Lu to find an assistant, and here he is?

Why did Su Taotao ask him to find one early? Finding an assistant for Xiao Lu isn’t easy since he’s still quite young, and there are few in the factory younger than him.

Also, excluding women, Xiao Lu often runs around, and it’s not as convenient to take women along as it is with men.

This narrows the range even more.

There are a few fresh graduates from junior and senior high schools, but they are all quite introverted. This role also serves as a public-facing position, and Su Taotao thinks someone with a good image and good communication skills would be better.

This Zhou Shiyan in front of her seems to fit all the conditions well.

Su Taotao remained calm and said, “Bring your resume tomorrow morning and come to the factory to see me.”

Zhou Shiyan nodded: “Okay, thank you, Director Su. I will be there at eight o'clock tomorrow morning.”

After speaking, Zhou Shiyan also smiled and said goodbye to the two children.

Actually, he went to the capital before the summer vacation, and his grandparents arranged a job for him there.

His parents also hoped he would go out and make his way, so he went.

After going to the capital, he found that he couldn't adapt to the climate there. He preferred the base and wanted to be closer to his parents. After discussing with his grandparents, he decided to sell the job and come back.

His parents were actually very angry when they found out. Having a job in the capital is something many people dream of. They also pulled a lot of strings and spent a lot of money to get that job in the capital.

And he just came back like that.

His parents were so angry they didn't even want to talk to him.

He originally wanted to see if there were any suitable jobs in the town.

But everywhere, people were talking about the food factory.

Products that are sold in the capital and have earned praise from leaders;

Orders are so popular that no matter how much coconut candy they produce, it’s never enough to meet the demand;

A pioneering initiative to hire many disabled people, specifically assigning them to the packaging workshop for lighter tasks;

Director Su, who is as beautiful as a flower, fair in her dealings, handles matters elegantly, and the benefits keep improving;

The leaders trust her so much that they’re planning to expand production and open a larger new factory...

When he left, this food factory didn’t even exist, yet in just a few months, it has become a household name.

He didn’t need to ask to see how promising the factory’s development prospects were.

Since they’re planning to expand production and open a new factory, they’ll naturally need a lot of manpower and resources.

Zhou Shiyan may not have been the top student, but when it came to quick thinking, he had no equal among his high school classmates.

So he took the initiative to reach out to Su Taotao.

Zhou Shiyan came at just the right time, as Su Taotao was also in need of help.

That afternoon, Su Taotao immediately asked Auntie Zhong about Zhou Shiyan.

The hiring standards for general workers can be more flexible.

But whether it was her assistant or Xiao Lu’s assistant, they were all potential leadership candidates, so Su Taotao had to be much more careful.

As soon as Auntie Zhong heard Zhou Shiyan’s name, she knew who he was: "Oh, the youngest son of the Zhou family? Didn’t he go to work in the capital a while ago? Why’s he back now?"
