Chapter 5: Zhu Xiaohua's 'Flower'

  Zhu Xiaohua was originally named Zhu Aotian, although not as domineering as Long Aotian, who attracted countless heroes to bow down. But relying on his 185cm height and 260-pound weight, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a square face, even the most argumentative troublemaker would have to admit that he is a sturdy northern man.

  Although this northern big man has a bit of a temper and is a bit girly.

  The nickname "Little Flower" actually originated from the affectionate term used by his female comrades, whether it was his female classmates in college, his female colleagues at work, or even his female superiors, all of whom couldn't stop praising this "little flower".

  Because Comrade Xiaohua is too broad-minded. What female comrades think, he thinks; what female comrades do, he does; the difficulties of female comrades are his difficulties; the loved ones of female comrades...of course still belong to the female comrades themselves.

  To say the least, when I was in school, half of the girls in the dormitory had asked Comrade Xiaohua for help with cooking; after work, it's even more unnecessary to say that if any female comrade forgot to eat breakfast, as long as she gave Comrade Xiaohua a phone call, she would surely prepare it quickly, and that was the warmth of spring, which was the realm that only Uncle Lei Feng had.

  "If you want to taste all the delicious food in the world, go to a restaurant often."

  Zhu Xiaohua said as much. And when he said this, he couldn't help but feel proud of himself. Zhou Yi and the others really had no choice but to admire him, for being able to make a show of his love outside while also being able to manipulate the prickly 'flower' at home into being completely devoted to him. Whoever would praise his family's little flower as a good comrade, good husband, and future good father would definitely be speaking the truth.

  This is the boundary... Don't even mention Lao Er, Lao Si, and Lao Wu, let alone Zhou Yi, who claims to be his nemesis in all aspects, but in this regard, he has to admit defeat.

  Of course, in the eyes of those brothers, Zhu Xiaohua's 'flower' can only be interpreted as infatuated.

  When Zhou Yi arrived at the 'old place' hotel, he directly patrolled around the lobby. According to Baozi's habits, even if there was no minimum consumption requirement for private rooms, he wouldn't go in. Within a ten-step radius, there must be beautiful women; with over a hundred people in the lobby, how could there not be a few beauties? Zhu Xiaohua had always believed that good food was edible, but beautiful women were even more so, so he definitely would be in the lobby.

  As expected, Zhou Yi saw Zhu Xiaohua sitting in the corner against the wall. He was dozing off with his eyes closed, half-leaning on the dinner table, and his sharp tiger-like eyes, which should only be found in underground workers of our party in movies, occasionally swept back and forth, staring at several women with 70 or 60 percent beauty in the hotel, with a silver-like expression.

  Even when Zhou Yi walked up to him, this guy still didn't notice, until he was slapped on the shoulder by Zhou Yi. He suddenly became excited and stuttered with a quivering body: "How come you're late? You're treating me today."

  "Is it me again? Eldest brother, you're the big brother of our five siblings, the deputy director of the personnel bureau, and your family's wealth is overflowing. I don't even have a job..."

  Zhou Yi sat opposite Fatso with a bad temper, shaking his head repeatedly. This guy is good at everything, but he's promiscuous and stingy, generous to women but miserly to brothers, and what's more, he enjoys it, sometimes making people really want to beat him up.

  "Nonsense, this is for your own good, who else would you ask? I'm just a poor public servant, but you have overseas connections and can always flee to the arms of capitalism, yet you're always thinking of pinching pennies from us proletarians?"

  Zhu Xiaohua hummed, waved her hand to call the waiter, and ordered a total of six dishes and one soup. She also asked for a crate of iced beer before nodding in satisfaction: "Just bring these first, we'll order more if they're not enough..."

  "Is this still not enough for you? Can you finish eating it?"

  "I'll pack up what I can't finish and have a midnight snack with your wife later. Thanks in advance, bro..."

  Zhu Xiaohua shamelessly laughed and said.

  The dishes were served quickly, and Zhu Xiaohua seemed to have been starving for a long time, downing two bottles of beer and finishing off an entire pig's trotter before opening his mouth: "Old Three, what's wrong with you now? You seem even lazier than me! You yourself say it, how many jobs have I introduced you to? This time is still the lecturer at Chu Du Medical University... You said you didn't want to teach professional courses, saying that teaching philosophy was more relaxed. Your elder brother had to persuade the principal repeatedly before he agreed, and this was also because of the face of our family's Old Taishan. But you, little scoundrel, ran to the classroom and exposed your private goods, saying something about life being like a sandpit... How could the principal not be furious?"

  Having talked dry, Zhu Xiaohua picked up a cup of beer and drank it again: "Old Three, you'd better say something. What kind of job do you want? Can't let me arrange for you to be the mayor or governor?"

  Although Comrade Xiaohua also got a similar sense of 'self-consolation' in the process of helping Zhou Yi find a job, that kind of thing should have a limit too, right? Moreover, Zhou's father is still a hot-tempered and violent person, and he has been making long-distance calls to urge him recently. Several times, Comrade Xiaohua was just about to get something from 'Huāduǒ' when he was abruptly interrupted, almost getting a heart attack.

  So now Xiaohua comrade would rather give up this pleasure, and must think of a way to arrange Zhou Yi out as soon as possible. Zhou Yi's job search has already begun to affect his happiness in life.

  "Mayor or Provincial Governor? I'm not interested..."

  Zhou Yi smiled and thought to himself that he should find a job too, otherwise just relying on his dad's connections wouldn't be enough. He decided to take this opportunity seriously and cooperate with the "fat guy" for once: "Whether it's a civil servant or an enterprise unit, I don't care, as long as the salary is... enough for me to eat. My only requirements are that there shouldn't be fixed working hours, ideally I can come and go as I please, and the work environment should be good. If I could work in a beautiful place with nice scenery, that would be best... Hmm... also, the workload shouldn't be too heavy, so I have time to read books and newspapers, learn about the four modernizations... And if there are some attractive women in the unit, that would be great, men and women working together won't get tired easily... Of course, this last condition isn't a must."

  A leisurely attitude towards life naturally includes appreciating beautiful women, a normal and healthy behavior. So Zhou Yi thought for a moment and added this condition.

  "My god!"

  Zhu Xiaohua glared at Zhou Yi, refusing to eat or drink, and panted heavily for a long time before finally rolling her eyes and cursing, "I'd rather call you boss! Boss, with such a great job, can you help me get an introduction? I'm definitely going to quit!"

  "This is a difficult situation for you, isn't it? You're the Deputy Director of the Personnel Bureau in our city, and you're in charge of personnel transfers, aren't you?"

  Zhou Yi spread out his hands, looking at Zhu Xiaohua with an innocent face: "I'm being very serious, this is already my last bottom line."

  "Are you still drawing a bottom line for negotiation?"

  Zhu Xiaohua was furious, if he hadn't known that the shameless guy in front of him had a physical quality that completely suppressed himself, he really wanted to jump up and strangle Zhou Yi to death.

  One can't be without bottom line when being human...

  Fat boy wants to cry but has no tears, and this guy with no bottom line is actually his own good brother, iron buddy!

  "I know you must have a way."

  Zhou Yi looked at Zhu Xiaohua with a hopeful gaze, even raising the cup of wine in front of him: "I toast to you, boss. Everything is up to you! Really, I need this kind of job."

  "I'll go then..."

  Zhu Xiaohua gritted her teeth and said with some difficulty: "Let me think, let me think first..."
