Plunder-Chapter 293 Zhou Ziyan’s Insatiable Greed

Chapter 293: Chapter 293 Zhou Ziyan’s Insatiable Greed

On this day, Zhou Jin’an was in a meeting when his secretary, bowing, approached him. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Director Zhou, the second young master is causing a scene at the front desk demanding to see you."

A barely noticeable gloom spread across Zhou Jin’an’s stern face as he slightly pursed his cool lips.

"Have him wait in my office."

The secretary received the order and immediately left.

The meeting continued and lasted until nearly noon.

A senior executive came over to consult on business matters. Zhou Jin’an was listening attentively when Zhou Ziyan suddenly approached the meeting room.

"Big brother!"

He waved to Zhou Jin’an, trying to catch his attention.

However, Zhou Jin’an only coldly glanced at him, then coldly diverted his gaze.

"Big... big brother."

Zhou Ziyan called out again, and the secretary approached, respectfully saying, "Mr. Zhou, please wait in the reception room. Director Zhou is still busy at this time."

Zhou Ziyan was impatient, but he was aware of Zhou Jin’an’s temperament.

At this moment, he needed a favor and could not afford to upset Zhou Jin’an.

So, he followed the secretary to the reception room.

He started by sitting, then standing, and finally began pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.

He had had a big fight with Yao Chuman.

In this world, it is not scarcity but inequality that one fears; he and Zhou Chucheng were both Yao Chuman’s sons, yet it was Zhou Chucheng who had received An Corporation, while he received nothing.

He was accustomed to libertinage and was extravagant in spending, but even a substantial family wealth could not sustain such squandering.

Lately, his finances had begun to tighten, and he urgently needed some money to sustain his increasingly constricted lifestyle.

Yao Chuman refused to help him, so he had no choice but to personally ask Zhou Jin’an.

Thus, he waited anxiously for about half an hour before Zhou Jin’an finally returned to his office.

The secretary approached, "Mr. Zhou, Director Zhou invites you to his office."

Zhou Ziyan hurriedly got up and walked in.

"Big brother, I didn’t realize you were so busy."

Zhou Ziyan pulled up a visitor’s chair across Zhou Jin’an’s desk, sat down, and leaned back in the chair with a relaxed pose.

Zhou Jin’an’s brows furrowed slightly—he very much disliked the dissolute aura of Zhou Ziyan.

"Is there something you need?"

"Nothing major," Zhou Ziyan began tentatively leading into the main topic.

"If it’s nothing major, we can talk another time. I have an appointment with a client at noon, so I need to go now," Zhou Jin’an said and stood up, grabbing his coat to leave. Zhou Ziyan panicked and quickly followed him.

"Actually, big brother, I’d like to come back and help you with some work. Concerning the salary, you can just pay me a little more than usual."

He was after something other than employment, and Zhou Jin’an detected his true intentions in an instant.

"Work? What work can you do?"

Zhou Jin’an let out a cold snort through his nostrils.

"Anything that doesn’t require overtime or too much thinking. As you know, I’m not really cut out for big responsibilities."

His self-awareness impressed Zhou Jin’an.

"If you really want to work, start from the entry-level."

Zhou Jin’an declared.

Zhou Ziyan was overjoyed and thought this must be too good to be true.

"Big brother, I always knew you were the fairest. No matter what the job, as long as the pay is decent, I’m willing to do it," he said earnestly.

Zhou Jin’an was well aware of Zhou Ziyan’s true motives.

He dialed the HR director’s phone number.

In less than three minutes, the director appeared in front of Zhou Jin’an.

"Take him to go through the hiring procedures."

A cunning gleam flashed through Zhou Jin’an’s shrewd eyes, but Zhou Ziyan did not understand it.

"What position will it be?"

The director looked distressed.

Zhou Ziyan also had a face full of expectation, thinking to himself, at the very least, he was a member of the Zhou family, so Jin’an couldn’t let him sweep the floors by just looking at the monk’s face and not the Buddha’s.

"I’ll send it to your phone."

After speaking, Jin’an turned and headed outside.

"Yes."

Director Zhang led Zhou Ziyan out of Jin’an’s office.

Zhou Ziyan was still lost in his beautiful dreams, unaware that reality was about to hit him hard.

Director Zhang took him to report to the security team, only mentioning his surname Zhou and failing to disclose Zhou Ziyan’s identity.

"Hey, Old Zhang, what are you doing? Why are you bringing me to a place like this?"

By the time Zhou Ziyan realized something was amiss, it was too late. Director Zhang had already informed the security team in advance, and if he wanted to stay, he had to join the security team.

"Mr. Zhou, didn’t you want a job? This is the job Director Zhou has arranged for you. Director Zhou mentioned that you wanted a job that pays well, involves little work, and doesn’t require thinking. This job suits you perfectly,"

Director Zhang said with a stern expression.

Zhou Ziyan was so angry that he puffed up his cheeks and glared his eyes.

"Suits my ass!"

He swore loudly.

Without jest, Director Zhang said, "Mr. Zhou, the decision is yours."

Saying this, Director Zhang turned to leave.

Seeing him about to walk away, Zhou Ziyan panicked, "Hey, what’s the rush? Did I say I wasn’t going to do it?"

"Then what do you mean, Mr. Zhou?"

Director Zhang, a notorious old fox, just looked at Zhou Ziyan impassively.

"How much per month?"

Zhou Ziyan asked sheepishly.

"A three-month probation period, ten thousand per month. After the probation period, it depends on your performance."

Zhou Ziyan snorted coldly from his nostrils. He couldn’t care less about the ten thousand; he would spend hundreds of thousands at Jinma Entertainment in just one night.

A mere ten thousand is nothing.

"Do you think I’m an idiot?"

Zhou Ziyan’s anger flared up again.

"Of course, Mr. Zhou is no fool. Director Zhou has his reasons for this arrangement,"

Director Zhang courteously remarked.

Zhou Ziyan was angry but not stupid. Currently, Nanchen was under Jin’an’s control, and the only way he could see a silver lining was by following Jin’an’s wishes.

"Fine, I’ll be a security guard."

Zhou Ziyan compromised.

But what he hadn’t expected was that this was a trap Jin’an had set for him.

That afternoon, Zhou Ziyan completed the hiring process and gloriously became one of Nanchen’s security guards.

Being naturally tall and handsome, the uniform made him look even more imposing and majestic.

Jin’an had left the company after lunch and didn’t return.

After finishing his business, he returned to Chu Garden.

Qiao En’s belly was getting bigger, and he wanted to spend more time with her.

During dinner, Director Zhang called Jin’an, and Qiao En was listening by his side.

It was about Zhou Ziyan.

Qiao En heard everything but maintained her silence.

Only after the call ended did she speak, "Is it appropriate to have Zhou Ziyan work as a security guard at Nanchen?"

After all, he was a member of the Zhou family.

Jin’an, expressionless, lightly scraped Qiao En’s nostril with his finger, "You worry too much. We both know very well what kind of person he is. I had him become a security guard partly to temper his sharpness and partly in hopes he might back off knowing the difficulty."

"What choice did he make?"

Qiao En asked further.

Jin’an sighed softly, "He indeed surprised me by choosing to stay. Nonetheless, he’s just a flash in the pan, can’t endure hardship, and will withdraw on his own once his enthusiasm wanes."

This was Jin’an’s plan.

Qiao En quite agreed.

However, this time, Zhou Ziyan defied everyone’s expectations of him.
