Did you find a job?’
“No.” Shaking his head, Robin felt strange about Hinds’s words. Wouldn’t Hinds think that I came to City Z to get shelter from him?
Then what Robin thought in his mind was confirmed. Waving his hand, Hinds said,’ Now that you have not found a job, you must stop that! You can work in my commercial company directly. There still needs one deputy manager for the purchasing department. I will pay you 12, 000 yuan as your salary every month.
Deputy manager of the purchasing department?
12, 000 yuan a month?
Everyone in the parlor became silent when hearing Hinds’s words.
Gaspar and Sonya looked at each other, while the latter one was a little jealous. She had no idea why her father had been so kind to this bumpkin?
Indignant at what Hinds had said, Stefan thought that his father was unfair to him. He, as Hinds’s son, could only be a deputy manager in the company. Besides, he got this position after years of hard-working. While his father gave Robin this position once Robin was invited to the company. How ridiculous!
“No way!’ Eveline stood against this invitation immediately, shouting furiously, “Hinds, is this bumpkin your bastard? Why are you so generous to him?”
“My nephew has begged you half a year for that position, but you still refused.”
“Why will you give him that position once this bumpkin came to our company?”
“Is he good at doing commercial business? Did he have any experience? Are you afraid that he will bankrupt the company?”
Eveline kept complaining like this.
Frowning a little, Hinds had not expected that Eveline would be so sensitive.
“Eveline, you are clear about what your nephew is really like. He is just an addicted gambler like our son. He would bankrupt our company in one month if I appointed him to be the purchasing manager.” Hinds whispered.
“How could this bumpkin be qualified in this position if my nephew was not? Do you know what he was engaged in?” He was only a deliveryman before!’
“You ask a deliveryman to be the deputy manager of the purchasing department. What do you think other people in the company think?” Eveline said in extreme sarcasm. She could accept that her nephew had been refused to be the deputy manager but could never allow Robin, a nit, to get this position.
Feeling embarrassed, Hinds thought that what Eveline had said made sense. Other workers in the company would speak ill of Robin if he insisted on inviting Robin to be the deputy manager. Of course, it would be bad for Robin.
At least, they might isolate Robin.
Frowning a lot, Robin had never considered working in City Z. But Hinds misunderstood his intentions, believing that he came here for shelter.
When Robin was going to refuse, Gaspar said with a smile, “Uncle, how about letting him work in our company?”
“We are employing workers these days, and there are still many positions in our sales department.”
“I can recommend him to our ministry of personnel, and they will hire him at once.”
Frowning a little, Hinds was a little attracted by Gaspar’s advice. But Gaspar had been chasing after Soyan. Therefore, he would owe Gaspar if he accepted the advice.
Hinds considered deeply, but his wife did not. By contrast, Eveline said in great joy, “Are you sure? Do you have the ability to employ this bumpkin in your company?”
Nodding with a smile, Gaspar replied, “Sure! Aunt, I am the manager of the sales department. And I have some connections with the leaders of the ministry of personnel. It won’t be difficult for them to employ one worker.”
“That’s perfect! Please employ him in your company.” Eveline said. In her view, Robin was a scourge. And he might cause trouble if he was employed in their company. However, if he was in the company that Gaspar worked in, everything would be better. At that time, wether Robin would be kept in the company depended on Gaspar.
“Uncle, what is your opinion?” Turning his eyes on Hinds, Gaspar was clear that Hinds was the foundation of this family. Therefore, anything related to the family would be decided by him.
Hesitating for a while, Hinds nodded his head, saying, “Ok! Sorry to bother you, Gaspar!”
“There is no bother. It’s my pleasure to help you, Uncle.” Gaspar shook his head, with a warm smile appearing on his handsome face. This situation was quite appealing.
“What a humble child!” Eveline praised him a lot.
“Well Gaspar, you can hire this bumpkin in your company but never appoint him to a high position. He has no skills, so that he may disgrace you.” Eveline told Gaspar. Gaspar was going to be her son-in-law, therefore, to some degree, they were a family now. It was acceptable to employ Robin to the company. Still, it would be unpardonable if he threatened the interests of Gaspar.
“Aunt, I think that Robin can undertake that job.” Laughing for a moment, Gaspar changed his topic, saying, ” Ability is one thing, while the rule of the company is another thing. Anybody must start from the bottom when he was just hired!”
“Therefore, I can only give Robin 3, 500 yuan a month as his salary.”
Frowning a lot, Hinds thought that the salary was too low in City Z.
Understanding what Hinds was thinking about, Gaspar said with a smile, “Uncle, don’t worry! Under my shelter, Robin will get a promotion soon.”
“Within half a year, his wage will be increased to over 10, 000 yuan.”
Raising his head a bit, Hinds was almost satisfied. Then he turned his eyes on Robin, saying, “What is your intention?”
With a bitter smile, Robin knew that he got no choice.
Hinds wanted to help him with sincere. Robin was afraid that he would embarrass Hinds id he refused his assistance.
“Any position is ok.” Robin agreed after a twice consideration.
On the one hand, Robin didn’t want to embarrass Hinds. On the other hand, he needed a proper job when he was in City Z. As a staff in a company, Robin would not be noticed by his enemies. It would be much more convenient for him to finish his tasks.
“Ok, Robin, you can come to our company for that job tomorrow. Although the manager of the ministry of personnel and I are good friends, essential procedures must be done.” Despite a smile on his face, Gaspar was filled with mockery and contempt. He would never take a glance at Robin, a poor bumpkin if he was not for Soyan.
“Yep, I will apply for the job at your company tomorrow,” Robin said gently. He was clear about what Gaspar and Eveline thought about. But he was not intended to expose them. It would not be bad for him to make them believe that he was a normal son-in-law living in John’s house.
