Chapter 632: Closing the Door on the Dogs!

Zhu Yanyi burst into laughter. "Second Uncle, stop it. Grandpa has fallen for the new kids and ignores us old ones. We’d better stay out of his way."

She was joking, but it was true. Grandpa Xie Zhong now focused mostly on the cute twins, Xie Tianyun and Xie Guiyun. Having raised Zhu Yanyi and Zhu Zhibin, he now paid extra attention to their upbringing.

Luo Ying chuckled nearby. "You two are a mess. The uncle acts like a nephew, and the niece acts like an uncle. You’re bickering like that? No dignity at all."

"Second Aunt, don’t take Second Uncle’s side," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "I have backup."

"Yes, yes, you have backup." Xie Shengyu laughed for a while before saying, "By the way, I’m starting work at the logistics company in a few days."

Xie Shengyu still worked at the soy sauce factory, but he had already submitted his resignation. Thanks to Xie Zhong’s financial support and his own savings, he held a solid two percent share in the logistics company. Although the share seemed small, the logistics sector was a huge opportunity. If things went well, the year-end dividends would be substantial.

"What will you do at the logistics company, Second Uncle?" Zhu Yanyi asked. Although Xie Shengyu had graduated from junior high, he lacked talent for management. It was impossible for him to manage the company. Moreover, Zhu Yanyi knew from Yan Aohan that he had assigned specific people to run the logistics and security companies. Zhang Haifeng would lead the security firm, and Zhang Sheng would lead the logistics firm.

"I’ll be responsible for packing and counting shipments," Xie Shengyu said. He knew his limits. He had strength and a junior high education, so this work suited him.

"That suits you, Second Uncle, though packing is tiring," Zhu Yanyi smiled.

Xie Shengyu laughed too. "I’m not packing alone. I mainly count the shipments. Others do the actual packing." He added, "I’ve already spoken with Factory Manager Cheng. When I leave, your Aunt will take my place at the soy sauce factory."

"Can she take your place?" Zhu Yanli asked curiously. Usually, only those with non-agricultural household registration could take over positions.

Xie Shengyu smiled. "It’s not really taking over. Honestly, the manager just wants to help because she is your aunt. she offered her a job selling soy sauce. It was a coincidence. The woman who used to serve soy sauce resigned to start a business. They needed someone, so she got the job. It’s easy work—just serving soy sauce and vinegar to customers. Your Aunt is getting used to it and will start officially next month."

Zhu Yanyi asked curiously, "I remember Aunt worked at a private company making oil pumps. Did she quit?"

"Yes, she quit." Luo Ying returned with dishes. "Come eat. We can chat while we eat."

As family, no one was stiff. They sat around the eight-person table, eating together. Luo Ying said as she ate, "My old job was in Houhai Village. Even though we had a bicycle, it took half an hour to ride there. It was fine on normal days, but the road was uneven when it rained. Your Uncle was worried, so I didn’t go. Besides, the pay for making oil pumps was low. Only one yuan a day, thirty yuan a month."
