“High salary?” Aaron curled his lips into a smirk. “How high do you want? Is four to five thousand enough to hire you as a chef?”
Jake wanted to please his father-in-law, so he said, “Dad, since he is your old friend’s son-in-law, I must give him some additional benefit. Okay then, I’ll give you ten thousand per month!”
Charlie chuckled in amusement and said, “Pardon me, but I don’t want money.”
Aaron frowned, confused. “You don’t want money, then what do you want?”
“Whoever hires me has to marry his daughter to me. Let’s take my father-in-law as an example. He wanted to hire me to do household chores, so he married his darling daughter to me. So, Aaron, if you want to hire me, you must marry your daughter to me too!”
Aaron’s face flushed in fury as he shouted, “You are so ungrateful! I’m being kind enough to offer you a job and this is how you repay me?!”
The enraged Jake glared at Charlie and said, “Hey, buddy, my father-in-law has only one daughter, and she is my wife! Be careful with what you say, otherwise, I’ll kill you!”
Charlie chuckled. “You guys are so funny. Did I ever ask you to offer me a job? You guys started it first. Since you wanted to give me a job so badly, I stated my terms and conditions. Just say yes if you agree, and no if you disagree, isn’t that normal?”
Jake angrily said, “Why did you make such an absurd request? You’re looking for trouble!”
Charlie said flatly, “No, I’m not. That was my condition all along. Frankly speaking, I have been married to my wife for over three years. For the past three years, I’ve been doing all kinds of household chores at home, cooking, cleaning, going to the market, that’s my job scope, and my salary package is my
wife. If you want to hire me, you have to follow the terms I requested. If you can provide it, that’s fine, but if you can’t, just shut up. Plain and simple. Can’t you understand such a simple exchange?”
“You…” Aaron and Jake were speechless and dumbstruck.
Charlie was right.
He had never asked them for a job, instead, it was they who had come at him pompously. Charlie had stated his terms for accepting the job, so why were they so furious about it?
Sensing that a battle was about to erupt, the crowd quickly interjected, “Hey, we’re all here for the reunion, let’s have fun and enjoy the party. Don’t quarrel over such a small matter.”
Aaron and Jake were agitated as the tables were turned, but they couldn’t say anything to ease their anger.
After all, they had started the dispute first, and everyone was witnesses. If they held Charlie accountable, the crowd would look down on them for being petty.
Jacob, however, was thrilled and happy!
He didn’t know that his son-in-law was so clever and witty that he had managed to defend himself and forced Aaron and Jake to be quiet. He gave him a thumbs up excitedly.
Jake glared at Charlie with a bit of resentment in his eyes.
Initially, he had intended to show off in a low-key way at his father-in-law’s reunion since he was the owner of a soon-to-be listed company, yet, Charlie had come out of nowhere and pushed him into a trap he had dug himself.
It was such a bitter pill for him to swallow, he had to find a way to turn the tables!
