Matthew and Sasha returned home. As soon as they entered the house, they heard a woman’s shrill voice. “Oh, James, it seems that you have awful parenting skills! It’s already 9pm but your daughter is still out and about and fooling around! Look at my daughter. She comes home on time by 8.30pm every night. This is how a good girl should be! No wonder she chose to marry a loser. She’s probably out because she is tired of being with him and is busy looking for another man.”
The person who was speaking was no other than Sasha’s third aunt, Paula Dawson.
Hearing this, James and Helen’s faces turned red with anger. “Paula, Sasha went out with Matthew. She’s not out fooling around with other men! Besides, Sasha is an adult. It is normal for her to have dinner with her friends and come home later than 9pm!”
Paula smirked disdainfully. “That’s why I said you’re not strict enough! Why did you agree to let Sasha go out with Matthew? What kind of friends could Matthew have? I’m pretty sure they are all a bad influence. What good will going out with a bunch of rascals do Sasha? Do you really think she went out for a meal? Here’s some advice. Make sure that your daughter is making friends with civilized elites, like how Jojo is. You should forbid her from being friends with rascals from the bottom of society. All they know is how to eat and play. What else could they do?” James sneered because he knew that Paula’s family was extremely stingy and they would never go out to socialize with friends. The only time they would ask someone out was when they were in trouble or needed a favor.
“By the way, what is the purpose of your visit?” Helen quickly changed the topic.
Paula and Norman Freeman glanced at each other for a moment before Norman coughed and said, “Well, Jojo has just graduated from university. You all know how amazing my daughter is, and there are a lot of companies fighting to hire her. However, since we are a family, I thought that we shouldn’t let other companies take advantage of Jojo’s abilities, which is why I’m planning to let Jojo help you!”
Helen and James instantly turned to meet each other’s gazes. As expected, Norman and Paula were visiting them so that they would give Jojo a job. Even though they were mentally prepared, Norman’s words still made them feel upset.
You’re here to ask us to provide a job but you speak as if we’re taking advantage of you. If Jojo was really smart and capable, it wouldn’t be a problem. However, Jojo is a poor student. What can a poor student who just graduated do in Cunningham Pharmaceuticals?
Helen gestured to James because she knew that if they didn’t agree, Norman and Paula would definitely cause trouble. They would even ask Helen’s parents to scold her! As for James, he knew Paula was a shrew so he dared not disagree with her. “Well then, why don’t we let Jojo work in our company?” James replied with a smile.
However, Norman frowned and Paula seemed upset to hear this. “Work? James, are you saying that you want Jojo to be an employee? Jojo is an outstanding student with an amazing attitude, yet you’re asking her to be an employee?”
James was dumbfounded. Jojo is just a college student who just graduated. You should thank us for letting her work in Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. If you don’t want her to be an employee, what position should I give her? Are you asking me to let her be the leader of a department?
“Paula, Jojo has just graduated after all…” Helen said softly.
Infuriated, Paula roared, “So what if she’s a fresh graduate? Even though she just graduated, there are many companies fighting to hire Jojo. The reason we came here is to help our family, but this is how you treat us? I’m disappointed in you both!”
James couldn’t hold back his anger and yelled, “In that case, why don’t you let Jojo work in other large companies?!”
As soon as he finished his sentence, everyone was startled.
Helen had a worried look on her face because she knew that James’s words were about to cause trouble.
