Chapter 283 - 148: Liu Ye: I Became a Villain? Time to Upgrade! (2)
"For this reason, that granduncle was furious and kept scolding the other party on the phone. He even said he wouldn’t come back and would personally go to catch the person to make a contribution to the family."
Chen Han heard this and chuckled.
From this, it could be seen that he already had a high level of prestige among the elders of the family.
Even the middle-aged members of the family were the same. They were either staying at home or coming back from working outside, so they naturally appreciated him as the Patriarch.
But it’s different with the younger generation, especially those who left for education.
They have their own ideas, and some talented individuals earn a decent income through their abilities.
Therefore, Chen Han also asked Xiaoyu, "Did you tell them how much the Chen Family offers a Scripture Reciter?"
Xiaoyu was taken aback, "I was too busy and forgot to mention it."
Then she deliberately said, "Senior brother, I’m really busy. I have to plan the National Style event with Sister Xiaomi, fix the short video team, and handle family matters!"
As she continued, she seemed to be seeking credit, as if saying: Senior brother, look how much I’ve done.
Seeing his junior sister like this, Chen Han knew he had to use his old trick and praised her, "Junior sister, you’ve worked hard. The entire Chen Family owes you a lot. Without you, I wouldn’t know what to do!"
"Senior brother, it’s what I should do." Her lips curled up as expected, with a hint of pride.
Hmph! I have to keep letting my senior brother know how important I am.
Chen Han also laughed, this trick never fails.
Then, he thought for a moment and added, "A Scripture Reciter is a crucial part of the Taoist Sect’s ’Tao, Scripture, Master’ trinity. Once he learns, he also has to act as an instructor to teach others. We can offer him a salary of fifteen thousand a month."
"As for his girlfriend, who is in copywriting, she can also come over to assist you. Being in a cultural position makes her half a talent, so let’s offer her sixty-five hundred a month. Let’s see if he’s still arrogant and unwilling to come back."
For this generation of young people, you have to make them see the benefits before you can win them over. Otherwise, just with a music editing job after his internship, he could earn seven to eight thousand a month.
Trying to fool young people into being workhorses is really difficult nowadays.
The hope is that once he returns to the Chen Family, he’ll learn the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique" and calm down.
At that time, being a Scripture Reciter won’t be something he can do just because he wants to.
"Okay, senior brother." Xiaoyu nodded, and after leaving, she immediately headed to a building on the west side of the Chen Family. As she entered the yard, she saw a woman dressed in traditional attire washing dishes.
Cai Xiaojuan is currently working as a service staff at the Chen Family, earning five thousand a month, which is more than her previous wage at a county hotel washing dishes.
However, in the county, she still had to pay rent and utilities, among other expenses, leaving her with not much savings.
The critical thing is living apart from her husband, with the family rarely coming together.
But there’s no choice. Her son graduated from university this year, and they need to start thinking about a house, car, and betrothal gifts.
As parents, they naturally have to work hard, hoping to help him out in the future.
Otherwise, with her son now 24 and earning only eight thousand, renting in the big city and expenses, plus having a girlfriend, saving three thousand is already good.
By the time he’s about 27 and ready to marry, managing to save a hundred thousand in three years would be good.
This is an ideal situation, as saving even thirty thousand is quite difficult, especially considering dowries can easily be in the tens of thousands.
At this age, without parental help, how many can afford to marry independently?
Young people today face enormous pressure. She and her husband cannot, like other parents, provide no help to their son and still push him to marry quickly.
But now, thanks to the Patriarch, they can live modestly and save twenty thousand a year, ensuring they can help their son have a grand wedding in three years.
Therefore, they are incredibly grateful to the Patriarch.
Yet, with the family asking their son to return, that ungrateful brat still refuses, and she feels like giving him a good beating.
"Auntie Xiaojuan." Xiaoyu greeted Cai Xiaojuan as she entered.
Upon seeing her, Cai Xiaojuan warmly said, "Xiaoyu, yesterday the boy’s father and grandfather already called him, telling him to roll back home, otherwise we won’t recognize him as our son."
Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Auntie Xiaojuan, I forgot to tell you earlier. Senior brother asked Chen Jing to come back. If he is suitable, the family will offer him a salary of fifteen thousand plus bonuses a month. As for his girlfriend, she can work as my assistant with a salary of sixty-five hundred a month."
"What?" Cai Xiaojuan was stunned by this.
The family offers her son a salary of fifteen thousand? Even his girlfriend gets sixty-five hundred.
Oh my God!
She really felt like kneeling in gratitude to the Patriarch.
Then, she hurried inside, shouting, "Honey, call Chen Jing quickly and tell him the family is offering him fifteen thousand. If he still doesn’t come back, we’ll go break his legs."
Quan City.
At a street stall stage, Chen Jing went on stage with his guitar and sang a very popular song recently, "Hobby".
Of course, he was working part-time, as in a big city, earning eight thousand a month left little to save. Part-timing allowed him to earn a bit more, and singing was the skill he had honed over four years.
After finishing the song and stepping off the stage, he sat down and immediately received a call from the elder back home, which filled him with frustration.
He knew there had been significant changes in the Chen Family recently. He had even seen the Patriarch’s videos and was aware that they were developing tourism and offering many positions to the family.
