188 Backbone

This was the first time Qu Can have called her ‘sister’, and Qu Zhi only found it funny.

Why didn’t he have any backbone at all? Wasn’t he used to be so overbearing at home? His parents thought that they could support him, but they didn’t expect that they couldn’t. Now, they wanted her to help him.

Qu Zhi was the child without any support.

“We don’t lack people.” He has no work to do there, so why did he have to force his son over to be the boss?

When she was young, Huang Qing had been brainwashing Qu Zhi every day, saying her younger brother was a boy and that he would be able to achieve great things in the future. If she treated her younger brother well now, he would be able to support her in the future and she would be able to live a good life. Therefore, she gave all the fun and delicious food to her younger brother.

Now, who was supporting who? Huang Qing still had the face to ask her to raise her brother?

Qu Zhi didn’t have time to talk about blood relations with them, so she hung up the phone.

“What do you mean by not lacking people?” Liang Wen asked. He could roughly guess the pressure Qu Zhi was under. They were currently short of people.

“We lack people, but we don’t need trash.” Qu Zhi didn’t even lift her eyelids as she applied pearl powder on her face.

“Aiyo, this tone.” Liang Wen laughed. She had really become a big boss.

Seeing that Qu Zhi’s expression wasn’t good, he didn’t ask any further. It probably wasn’t anything good.

In the afternoon, Liang Wen’s phone rang. They were busy at the moment, and Liang Wen didn’t even have time to eat lunch. Little Gu bought him a wrap flatbread with fillings, and he squatted among the workers to eat it.

“Liang Wen, please help your Brother-in-law. He wants to work at his Sister’s company.” Huang Qing knew that Liang Wen’s work was hard, so she wanted to get her son into Qu Zhi’s company. “He doesn’t have a job yet. Our Zhizhi isn’t sensible, help me talk to her.”

It was too noisy beside him, so Liang Wen couldn’t understand what she was saying. He only heard her say, “isn’t sensible”.

Liang Wen nodded in agreement on the surface, but he was laughing in his heart. If she was not sensible, then there were no sensible people in the world.

“Do you understand?” Huang Qing was overjoyed.

“Yes, yes.” The foreman was waving for him, so Liang Wen quickly hung up the phone.

On the other end, Huang Qing was very happy.

Her precious son would soon be able to make a lot of money and would not have to suffer losses from others. His sister dared to touch even a single hair on his head? Huang Qing threw caution to the wind and wanted to argue with her.

That afternoon, she brought her son to buy a decent suit and a pile of shirts to try on. Before she was done, she even hugged her son and cried. Qu Can push away in disgust. “She hasn’t agreed yet.”

Huang Qing’s face darkened. “She wouldn’t dare!” In fact, when her passion dimmed, she suddenly felt that she was happy too early.

Her daughter was not someone to be trifled with.

She waited until 10 p.m, and Qu Zhi’s commercial had been on TV for a few rounds, but she still hadn’t called. Huang Qing couldn’t hold it in anymore and wanted to call Liang Wen.

Qu Jun guessed that she would disturb them, and there would be no room for discussion, so he stopped her. “They’re busy. Don’t disturb them. We’ll talk about it later.”

Who dared to criticize her? Huang Qing shot him a murderous look, and Qu Jun shut his mouth. But Huang Qing paused and put down the phone.

They waited and waited until 11 o’clock, but there was still no call.

Qu Can kept yawning. He wanted to go to sleep. However, Huang Qing pressed him down on the sofa and made him look at the white phone that had been ground to yellow.

Huang Qing couldn’t help but call Liang Wen. “Did she agree?”

Liang Wen was watching a football match. He was already drowsy and was woken up by the phone call. “Agree to what?”

Huang Qing was trembling with anger. “Work! About working!”

“What work?” Liang Wen had no idea what she was angry about.

It was Qu Jun who snatched the phone over and explained the situation clearly. “It was about finding a job for Qu Can. The one at Qu Zhi’s company.”

It was at this moment that Liang Wen recalled that the ‘trash’ that Qu Zhi had mentioned this morning was actually her younger brother. It was funny to think about it. She was already so old, but her parents were still begging her sister.

“Are the others okay?” Liang Wen laughed. He had a wide network of connections, so it wasn’t difficult for him to find a job in Jiang City. However, he couldn’t force Qu Zhi. He couldn’t bear to do that.

Qu Can, who was standing beside Qu Jun, nodded his head vigorously.

“No!” Huang Qing’s heart was torn. The child was so far away, and he was in another city. No one knew that he had been bullied.

“Qu Can, you speak.” Liang Wen tried to guide him. Qu Zhi had said before that when teaching Chuchu and Sisi, one could not impose their own wishes on them and had to listen to their voices.

“Alright,” he said. Qu Can agreed.

Huang Qing stared at her son in surprise, as if she was looking at a stranger.
