Chapter 56
Hearing Duncan's words, Elizabeth widened her eyes and said in shock, "Wow, ZQ Media, that's a huge listed company. Duncan, you're so great as you can go in. But I heard that the requirements of the ZQ Media are very high, and ordinary people can't get in?"
Wilson and Sammy, as his parents, had a proud smile on their faces. The sense of superiority was not concealed. Duncan looked up and said. "For most people, the ZQ Media's threshold is indeed very high. Many top students can't even get in although they want to. But for me, that's easy. I asked someone for help and went straight in."
Tom was stunned. Wasn't ZQ Media his company? Duncan, a worm, was able to apply for the job? What's going on?
To be honest, Tom was not very happy about this. Of course, it was not because he saw Duncan acting like this, but because he knew Duncan's ability very well. Duncan was a man with no ability. This kind of person could come into the ZQ Media, which meant that there was still jobbery in the company.
As the chairman of the ZQ Media, he naturally didn't want this to happen. This kind of ethos was very bad. If it was not handled properly, it would easily lead to disaster. One could just think about it. Because there were people in the company who did the jobbery, they constantly sent mediocre people to the company. Over time, the company would definitely be influenced by this. If some mediocrity took a high position, the situation would be even worse. It was not impossible to drag the company down seriously. This was because this kind of example had been common since ancient times, and thousands of miles of levees were destroyed by ants. Therefore, many international companies that had lived for a long time were very opposed to nepotism.
When Phoebe heard this, she stopped. There was a look of surprise and excitement on her face. Obviously, she was stimulated by the words “ZQ Media.” In her mind, she couldn't help but think of the tall figure, the clown mask, and the cold but warm-hearted chairman. For a moment, her heart beat faster.
Elizabeth's eyes immediately turned red. She looked at Duncan and then at Tom on her side. The gap was too big.
"Duncan, what position do you have in the ZQ Media? How's your salary?" Elizabeth asked.
A flash of embarrassment flashed across Duncan's eyes and it immediately disappeared. Other than Tom, the others were not observant enough to notice that, "The position is not high, it's just a small manager. The salary is nearly a million after tax. I can barely use it. However, my leader said that I have done very well during this period of time, and I have got lots of great performances. Next quarter, I will be promoted and my salary will be raised. Hehe.”
Speaking of this, he deliberately coughed twice. He looked at his empty teacup, and hinted that Tom shall pour tea for him.
Tom was indifferent. Elizabeth immediately kicked him discontentedly and scolded, "You're blind. You can't pour tea for guests. You are so stupid. You are not smart at all!"
Tom was very helpless. He was at least the chairman of the ZQ Media. He had to pour tea for Duncan. If Duncan knew the truth, Wilson would be scared to death, right?
This identity was not appropriate to reveal, so Tom had to pour Duncan tea, and he also filled the cup Wilson and Sammy.
Duncan looked at Tom with a fat face full of pride and disdain. He was looking down on Tom completely.
"By the way, auntie, has Tom found a job?" Duncan rolled his eyes and said to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth rolled her eyes and said, "It's okay if you don't say that. I get angry when you say that. This trash has been in our house for more than four years. And he has been at home all the time and he depends on us. It is impossible for him to look for a damn job."
Phoebe, who was at the side, could not bear to listen. She felt that her mother was too disrespectful to Tom in front of outsiders. There was no need to do this. "Mom, what are you talking about? Tom found a job a while ago.”
Elizabeth said unhappily, "Just the job of the real estate agent? That's a bullshit job. It's something that anyone can do. They can't even get three thousand dollars a month. What's the use of it? It's no match for Duncan's job."
Sammy heard and she chuckled. She said with an exaggerated expression, "No way? Real estate agent? Can you make money?"
Duncan resisted as he wanted to smile. He said, "Mom, you can't say that. A real estate agent is also a job. It's better than delivering takeout, right? At least he can wear a suit, right? Besides, his ability is here. You can't let him find a high-end job, can you? Isn't it mean as you force him to find a better job? After all, there is still a gap between people. You can't have the same requirements for me and others, can you?"
Wilson also smiled and said, "What Duncan said makes sense. It's better for Tom to be a real estate agent than staying at home and depending on you. At least he has a job, right? Hahaha..."
The three of them said this and they looked at each other. They couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Elizabeth's face immediately darkened. She was not angry with her brother's family, but she felt very angry with Tom, thinking that Tom, a trash, had embarrassed her.
Phoebe also frowned. She had never liked her uncle and his family members. They were too snobbish and especially sarcastic. Every time they came here, they would mock Tom and look for superiority from Tom. Although she didn't like Tom either, Tom was her husband anyway. And if a man wanted to beat a dog, he shall look at the identity of the owner. They did this and they didn't care about her dignity at all.
She looked at Tom, hoping that Tom would be able to try to win credit for himself and fight back against them. But when she saw that Tom was not angry and he was still smiling and didn't care, she was so angry. She really wanted to give Tom a kick. How could there be such a man who didn't want his dignity at all?
Tom was indeed not angry. There's nothing to feel angry about? He knew for himself that he was not a trash. On the contrary, he was now a successful person and a business tycoon with tens of billions of assets in his hands. ZQ Media was just one of his small companies. Next, he would invest more and buy more companies with higher standard.
"As far as I know, the ZQ Media is very strict about the requirements of the application. You have to be at least a undergraduate so as to be eligible for admission, right? Duncan, didn't you just graduate from high school? How could you be qualified to enter it? Didn't you spend money so that you could get in?" Tom said with a smile.
Duncan's expression suddenly changed, feeling a little guilty and flustered. Tom was right. He had spent money to get in it. Otherwise, with his ability and seniority, how could he get in?
However, he would not admit it and he immediately scolded, "Bullshit. I applied for the job on my own. I didn't get in by the back door! I, Duncan, am outstanding, and I am very popular in any company. So do I need to get in by the back door?”
Tom's face remained unchanged and he continued, "So you just said that you asked someone for help before you went in? Isn't what you're saying now equivalent to a slap in your face?"
