My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 686

Chapter 686 Startled

Ouyang Qi did not get mad even when he was regarded with disdain by Ouyang Li. He was surprised to find out how patient he could be. If this had happened in the past, he would have flown into a rage already. “Indeed, I don’t have any serious business to tend to. So, I was hoping you could perhaps give me something to do, Li,” said Ouyang Qi.

“You want a job? Haven’t I told you that you’re not suited to get a job? You’re not equipped with the proper capability to work. Do you not know what kind of person you are? With the way you are now, what can you even do? Stop causing me trouble. I don’t have time to entertain your nonsensical ramblings,” uttered Ouyang Li bluntly.

“Li, I have no job and no income right now. My card was suspended, and I can only find lodging at my friend’s house.”

“So, you’ve come to me for money, is that it? It’s all because Dad spoiled you back then. You’ve idled around every day and all you know is wasting money! Now that Dad is no longer around, I won’t ever be like him and allow you to do as you please! You’re a man. Figure out how to make a living yourself. Also, don’t come to me anymore!” she snapped.

“Stop the car!” She then motioned for the driver to pull over before chasing Ouyang Qi out of the vehicle.

However, Ouyang Qi did not budge. Instead, he remained in the car and refused to move a muscle.

“Are you getting out of the car or not?” Ouyang Li asked.

“No, I’m not getting out. I wasn’t done talking yet. I’ll head to the company with you, and then I’ll get lost,” Ouyang Qi replied.

Not knowing what to do with her stubborn brother, Ouyang Li had no choice but to ask the driver to continue driving.

Soon, Ouyang Li spoke up. “Whatever it is you want to say, say it.”

“I’ve already said it. I want a job to make some money so I can provide for myself. Otherwise, I won’t be able to survive. Back then, Dad was there to support me. Now that I don’t have anyone providing for me, I need to provide for myself.”

“But you know nothing about working. What kind of job do you want me to give you? That’s enough. Let’s drop this matter. I’ll give you twenty thousand every month. That should be enough for you to survive,” Ouyang Li said impatiently.

“No, I can’t let you do that. I no longer want to reap without sowing. I need to rely on my own capability to provide for myself.”

“But you don’t have expertise in anything! Do you not understand what I’m trying to say?” Ouyang Li remarked angrily.

“Well, if you put it that way, I still have something to capitalize on. My identity. I could use my identity as Ouyang Duo’s son to receive interviews with the media. I could also utilize my identity as a down-and-out young heir to participate in various variety shows. You know this, I go by the moniker ‘Nine-Fingered Prince’ in the entertainment industry. I’m currently buzzworthy, so I’m capable of utilizing such resources to make money. Making two hundred thousand a month isn’t a problem, let alone twenty thousand,” Ouyang Qi said smilingly.

“I won’t allow you to do such things! If you rely on your appearance to make money, wouldn’t that tarnish the image of the Ouyang family? Have you no shame?” Ouyang Li became increasingly furious.

Ouyang Qi replied, “Li, if survivability becomes an issue, having shame or not doesn’t matter anymore. I have nothing much to say. You either give me a job to let me provide for myself, or you could leave me to my own devices, and I’ll enter the entertainment industry of my own accord. Who knows? Maybe I’ll get a writer to write my autobiography. Young people nowadays are envious of the lives of wealthy kids. If I were to publish a book, it would surely gain much traction. That way, I would have another profitable venture, and my life would be carefree.”

“I forbid you to do such things. I’ll give you a job. Stop the car!”

The driver quickly pulled over as soon as he heard her command.

“Get out of the car. Let him drive,” Ouyang Li said to the driver.

“Ms. Ouyang…”

“Get out of the car!” Ouyang Li bellowed angrily at the driver.

The driver obediently got out of the car as he did not dare provoke his superior.

“You drive. Aren’t you looking for a job? You’ll be my driver from today onwards,” Ouyang Li said.

Ouyang Qi was stunned for a moment. He had never expected Ouyang Li to assign him a job like that.

I’m the only son of the Ouyang family! Now I’m reduced to the role of a driver? This job is too humiliating for me!

Ouyang Qi knew that Ouyang Li did this on purpose to mess with him. She assumed he would find such an embarrassing job to be unbearable.

Therefore, Ouyang Qi had to put up with it. Besides, this job was quite beneficial to him.

One would surely question why it was beneficial.

For starters, the job didn’t require technical skills as all he needed to do was drive the car around. To Ouyang Qi, this did not pose any difficulties whatsoever.

If he were immediately assigned the role of an executive, he would instead be worried that he wouldn’t be able to handle it.

However, working as a driver was a simple feat for him.

Besides, the best thing about this job was that he could often stay by Ouyang Li’s side to learn from her and simultaneously have a grasp of her whereabouts.

He would also get to know the people Ouyang Li kept in contact with and the places she went.

Simply put, this was the best entry point into the company for Ouyang Qi which he initially never thought about.

He gladly opened the car door and got out of the vehicle. After that, he hopped into the driver’s seat and began driving.
