Chapter 794 Zhu Zhe's younger brother wanted to cause trouble, but turned out to be a coward.
Zhu Zhe received a call from his younger brother. He was surprised that his brother had secretly come to Shanghai and even wanted him to pick him up. It was obvious that this guy was just trying to leech off him again.
Zhu Zhe is such a shrewd person. The fact that her younger brother came over secretly already tells a story. Zhu Zhe would never tell her brother her address, so she simply lied and said that she was working overtime.
This infuriated her younger brother, Zhu Minjie. According to the information he received, his sister had been promoted to hotel manager. She hadn't told the family about such a big thing, and instead was still telling them that she was a hotel cleaner.
This move is clearly a way of keeping an eye on his family, or in other words, keeping an eye on himself, since all the family's money goes to him. Of course, this would make Zhu Minjie unhappy.
Zhu Minjie came here this time to seek his sister's help. He didn't want to do the work back home, which was too tiring. Now that his sister had become the hotel manager, he could easily get himself a small leadership position if he used his connections.
Haha, Zhu Minjie was having some wild ideas. Ever since becoming the manager of the housekeeping department, Zhu Zhe had been very cautious. Lacking a degree, her biggest fear was losing her hard-earned job because of a mistake.
Zhu Zhe would never do anything to give her brother preferential treatment, and she would never hand over any evidence of her mistakes to others, otherwise she might lose her job at any time.
"What's wrong? Are your family members causing trouble again?"
Zhou Chen and Yu Chuhui, who had been silent, looked at Zhu Zhe and asked. Although they hadn't heard very clearly, it seemed to be a call from Zhu Zhe's family.
“My brother came to Shanghai without calling me beforehand. He was obviously trying to catch me off guard. Don’t worry, I can handle this.”
Zhu Zhe spoke in a seemingly relaxed manner, but her furrowed brows clearly indicated that she was not as relaxed as she appeared; she simply did not want to cause anyone worry.
The person who came was, after all, her younger brother. She had to refuse his blood-sucking while also not damaging their relationship. Obviously, it was a difficult balance to strike.
Zhou Chen and Yu Chuhui were of course aware of Zhu Zhe's family situation. She had started working at a young age and became the hope of the whole family, which also led her to shoulder the burden of the family at an early age.
Zhu Zhe has been shouldering the burden of his parents' living expenses and his younger siblings' tuition fees. Now that his sister is married and his brother has graduated from university, they still want to rely on him, which is naturally unacceptable to Zhu Zhe.
Zhu Zhe has her own life to live. She doesn't live for others, and besides, she's not a wealthy or successful person. She has no money to bleed her family dry.
"Sister Zhu, you are a capable person, I believe you can handle this well. But if you have any problems, just let us know, and we will all help you."
Yu Chuhui made her stance clear, and Zhou Chen nodded in agreement. In the end, her younger brother was just a spoiled brat who had been pampered by his family. Letting him experience some hardship would teach him that working in society is not easy.
Hehe, at this moment, Zhu Zhe had no idea that her brother had come with a purpose, nor did she know that her work had been exposed.
The next day, when Zhu Zhe went to work, his younger brother blocked him at the hotel entrance. Zhu Zhe was quite surprised to see that his brother had actually found the hotel.
However, Zhu Zhe quickly composed himself. Since his younger brother was able to find him, it meant that he had come prepared. It seemed that he would have to be careful.
Hmph, seeing the surprise on his sister's face, Zhu Minjie immediately became a little smug. He walked over to Zhu Zhe and said, "Big sister, are you surprised? Surprised that I was able to find you?"
Haha, I should be the one who's surprised. My family and I had no idea you'd become the manager of a big hotel. Have you stopped recognizing your family after becoming a manager?
"If we hadn't heard about you from a fellow villager, we, your family, would still be completely in the dark!"
When his younger brother questioned him, Zhu Zhe simply looked up at him, showing no panic at being exposed, but in his mind he was thinking of a solution.
Zhu Zhe quickly calmed down. "I've handled so many difficult customers, how could I not handle you?"
Watching the employees coming and going to work, Zhu Zhe didn't want to become a laughing stock in the hotel, so she said coldly to her younger brother, "Not bad, you do have some ability. Are you done talking?"
"Now that you've finished speaking, go back first. Don't cause trouble in front of our hotel. We can talk after I get off work."
Zhu Minjie never expected his sister to be so arrogant. He had exposed her true colors. Shouldn't she be ashamed and flustered?
"Zhu Zhe, what kind of attitude is this? Why should I listen to you? I only came to see you today for one reason: to take care of me."
Now that you've become the hotel manager, it shouldn't be difficult for you to arrange a position for me, right? Don't you have a conscience for not looking after your family when there are good opportunities?"
Despite her brother's angry outburst, Zhu Zhe remained calm. She simply took two steps forward and said softly, "You can yell even louder so that everyone in the hotel knows you want to use the back door."
Haha, now you don't even call me "sister" anymore, huh? You think the hotel is mine and I can do whatever I want with it?
I don't have a younger brother like you who only knows how to sponge off his parents. Fine, go ahead and cause trouble, make a scene so everyone can come and laugh at you.
I've worked for over a decade to finally climb to this position, and you might ruin it all in just a few minutes this morning. Would you be happy then?
If I lose this job, forget about getting you a job through connections; my whole family will starve. Then I won't have to shoulder such immense pressure to support my family anymore.
Zhu Zhe spoke with great confidence because she knew her younger brother cared about this job more than she did. Zhu Minjie wouldn't just cut down the ladder that allowed his family to climb, as Zhu Zhe was the only one they could be proud of.
Haha, in Zhu Zhe's opinion, as long as he and his younger brother have a complete falling out, his younger brother does not want Zhu Zhe to be fired.
As expected, upon hearing Zhu Zhe's words, Zhu Minjie became anxious. The thought that making a scene might cause his sister to lose her job made him back down.
Zhu Minjie originally intended to cause trouble at the hotel in order to control his sister, but unexpectedly, he was now being controlled by Zhu Zhe instead.
Haha, with his younger brother's social experience, how could he be a match for Zhu Zhe?
"Okay, I won't cause trouble. I'll wait for you to call me after work. But you have to consider what I say and try to find me a more comfortable job."
"If I'm not happy, you can forget about getting a good job either. We'll see, it's a fight to the death."
Zhu Minjie started to scare Zhu Zhe, but it was just a scare tactic. His goal was to get his sister to consider his job and arrange a better one for him.
Having a high-paid older sister is beneficial for Zhu Minjie. If his own words don't work, then his parents will have to step in and talk to his sister. Therefore, Zhu Zhe's job is absolutely essential.
Unless the two sides completely break off relations, Zhu Minjie would not take such a risky step as to fight to the death. After giving the warning, Zhu Minjie left immediately.
Zhu Zhe frowned even more deeply. Her younger brother's arrival had caught her completely off guard. Fortunately, she managed to intimidate him with her imposing presence, but what should she do next?
It seems I should think about how to appease my younger brother. If he really gets carried away and ruins my job, all of Zhu Zhe's years of hard work will be for nothing.
