Power of Money novel Chapter 69

The middle- aged couple were relatives of Jason.

The woman was Jason's second aunt, Hannah Qin, and his uncle was called Jim Wu. They were junior high school teachers and civil servants of the Nandu New District respectively. They were the most wealthy family in the Qins.

Therefore, they had always looked down upon Jason's family who were in the countryside. And because the two had an stable job respectively, they felt that they were superior to others. They never take relatives like Jason seriously.

However, it was completely Jason's parents' request for him to come today.

Tomorrow night, their plane would arrive in Nandu.

Jason's father, Andy Qin, had not seen his sister for a long time. Naturally, he wanted to take this opportunity to have a good time with his sister. He asked Jason to invite her in person so that her family would not be angry.

At this moment, Hannah finished her dishes and walked over. She sat beside Jason and asked, "Are you really not going to be a civil servant?"

Jason nodded and said, "Normal life as a civil servant may not be suitable for me. I still want to expand my career by myself. After all, I'm still young, and have time."

Hannah and Jim looked at each other and saw the contempt in each other's eyes.

"What's there to take a risk for? Even if you make five million yuan in business, can you be comparable to a civil servant?" Jim laughed.

"Yes, Jason, we are all relatives. As your aunt, how can we lie to you? Is there any job be better than civil servants and teachers now? Look at my Sarah, when you were still thinking about getting a job after graduation, she had already prepared for the civil service examination by listening to her father and me,. She had been able to be a civil servant in a town after graduation. In less than two years, your uncle could socialize, she could be able to transerred to the district or even in the city government. What about you then? You were still working in a private enterprise at that time, working as a coolie. What future can you have?"

Hannah smiled complacently. On the surface, she was trying to persuade Jason, but in reality, she was flattering her own daughter in

order to show off.

"Yes, Aunt is right." Jason said awkwardly.

"It's no use talking to him. Do you think it's easy to pass the civil service examination, that you can get it whenever you want? That requires both education and ability. It's good enough that our Wu Family can have one Sarah. After two years, she can gain a firm foothold in her position. If Jason hasn't found a good job yet, we can ask Sarah to find someone to arrange a job for him. It's always better than going back to the countryside. You will have no future for the rest of our lives."

Jim drank tea and glanced at Jason with a disgusted look.

He had always looked down upon Jason's family. They were all from rural area. At critical moments, they could do nothing but borrow money. Unlike his own family, they all came from government units. His uncle was section chief, and the Qin's, who were poor, could not be compared with them at all.

"That's right. When Jason first went to college, I had advised my sister-in-law that in such a family, why should he need to go to the college? The tuition fee was so high, and she had to borrow money everywhere. But now you see, Jason still couldn't find a job. If she listened to me and let Jason work in the

factory instead of unversity, he could at least save some money. Jason could go back to his hometown to mend the house and marry a country wife. What's the point of struggling?" Hannah felt that her sister-in-law didn't listen to her at that time, and now she was at a disadvantage.

In fact, Jason knew very well that once they met on festivals, his second aunt and uncle would use his studies to make trouble for his parents. But this time, since his parents didn't come, they had to take advantage of him.

For this so-called family affection, Jason was also very speechless.

But he had no choice. His father attached great importance to this feeling, so he could only do as he was told.

"By the way, Jason, you're going to graduate soon. Where are you living now? Where are you renting a house?" Jim suddenly asked.
