Chapter 1166: Chapter 1138: The Benefits Will Surely Improve (400+ Monthly Tickets Update)

"You even stole exam questions? Where did you steal them from?" Yu Minglang decisively caught the keyword.

Chen Zilong chuckled.

"Didn’t I share a room with Hu Zi? We teamed up to steal them. He kept watch while I pried open the trainer’s office, and he covered for me."

This silly guy... Yu Minglang almost felt sorry for him; how could his wife, being so smart, have such a naive and adorable brother?

Talking to the biggest boss about hiding cookies, a clear violation of discipline, with such candor and directness left Yu Minglang struggling to maintain his righteous demeanor; he thought to himself, little brother-in-law, your IQ is really something.

"So, what did you want to tell me?"

"I just wanted to report some shortcomings in the training program. Brother-in-law, could you ask them to make improvements? It’s not going to work like this."

Chen Zilong still spoke foolishly.

He thought to himself that what he was saying was a normal and reasonable request. Naturally, he should have already been pre-selected, and participating in assessments should have been just procedural. He hoped his brother-in-law could treat him fairly.

Why is the brother-in-law being so strict when the little brother-in-law comes to his company?

"Okay, I got it." Yu Minglang nodded, originally planning to leave, but he stopped, patted Chen Zilong’s shoulder, hesitated to speak, and left.

Silly Chen Zilong thought his brother-in-law was feeling sorry for him and returned a "Brother-in-law, I trust you the most" foolish grin. Yu Minglang couldn’t bear to look any longer and turned to leave.

When he got home, he saw Qian sitting slouched on the sofa, Beauty slouched on the cushion. The person and the dog maintained the same tired and mutually annoyed pose, but upon hearing the door open, they both perked up.

"You’re back!"

"Woof!"

Not willing to let the other speak first, Qian glared at Beauty, and Beauty glared back at Qian. The little bit of bond they’d managed to establish was ruined by the spicy incident yesterday.

"Honey, you’re back~" Qian leaned in, discreetly nudging Beauty away. Compete with her for a man? Pah!

"Yeah, feeling better today?" Yu Minglang put down the millet porridge he brought back, washed his hands, and prepared to make some appetizer dishes for her.

"Much better. Still not very hungry." Qian attached herself to him like a koala bear, following him everywhere he went, entertaining Yu Minglang.

"Why are you so clingy today?"

"I don’t know; you’re just easy on the eyes, and my husband is so handsome." Qian couldn’t explain it herself, but despite having no appetite, she was in a good mood, especially when she saw him.

Yu Minglang was equally overjoyed by her compliments. Life was simply wonderful.

The two were in a great mood; Qian rested her head on his back, wrapped her arms around his waist, and watched him cook with warmth in her heart. Time seemed to slow down; she hadn’t felt this good in ages.

Seeing her so obedient for once, Yu Minglang narrated the incident with Chen Zilong to Qian, which left her speechless and annoyed.

"Is he stupid? How can someone who’s been through so much training still not know what to say and what not to say?!"

"It’s not just that he’s dumb; it’s that this kid trusts me too much, which makes me feel guilty... It’s kind of hard to act against him."

"You must teach him a lesson. Do what you have to do; not acting now will only hurt him in the long run. Do you want to see him foolishly wasting away?"

Qian was always this way with her brother; strict when needed, without leniency.

"I just feel regretful. The kid trusts me so much, yet I have to do these things."

"He’ll definitely not understand us briefly, but for his long-term development, we need to help him overcome this hurdle. Do your part, and I’ll prepare too; we’ll tackle it from both ends. If he keeps being foolish, he deserves to never succeed!"

"Honey, if we do this, he’s bound to hate us. I don’t mind, but you—he is your own brother after all!"

"I know he’ll definitely dislike me if I do this, but given Chen Zilong’s temperament, if you want him to truly succeed, he needs a goal and someone to resent. I’d rather have him hate me than become so pathetic that I end up hating him."

Qian was determined, and Yu Minglang said no more. The couple went their separate ways in action.

Meanwhile, after tattling to Yu Minglang, Chen Zilong was satisfied and cautiously looked outside his dorm room, relieved to see none of those annoying folks following him.

"So, did it work?" Hu Zi asked while munching on a cookie, and the others looked expectantly at Chen Zilong.

Chen Zilong beamed, "Of course! When Chen Zilong handles matters, it’s reliable! Relax, stick with me, we’re safe. Absolutely no problem!"

Everyone was delighted and raised their cookies in celebration as they had enough of these days and wanted to quickly pass the onerous training!

"Chen Zilong, what’s your relationship to the Deputy CEO? Can you really converse with such a high-and-mighty man?" someone asked.

"Just stop asking about our relations; trust that good times are ahead for us." Chen Zilong was confident, seeing a bright future from the endless ’pitying’ expression on his brother-in-law’s face as they parted; become a CEO, marry a rich and beautiful girl, a good life is on the horizon!

"I’m afraid things might be a tad risky..." Hu Zi worriedly voiced.

He had been wondering before coming, whether Yu Minglang really knew his true identity.

Last time during a collaboration with Yu Minglang and his wife, Hu Zi was beaten severely by Yu Minglang, bedridden for days, and later the more he thought about it, the more odd it seemed. Did Yu Minglang already know who he was?

Even knowing his identity, the fact Yu Minglang dared to beat him indicated he was as fair and impartial as rumored outside.

But since Hu Zi’s arrival this time, Yu Minglang hadn’t given him any special treatment, making it difficult for Hu Zi to understand his personality. Assuming Yu Minglang knew who he was and treated him this way, could Chen Zilong truly secure benefits for them?

"Absolutely, trust my work!" Chen Zilong overturned the cookie bag and ate the crumbs.

"Did the Deputy CEO mention when we’d be promoted? Did you get tomorrow’s exam questions?"

"Didn’t mention it..."

"There’s another exam tomorrow. If not mentioned, how do we handle the assessment? If I fail one more time, I’ll be sent back to my old unit!"

Everyone looked at Hu Zi and Chen Zilong; these two were the core of the dorm and the ones with the most ideas.

"Then let’s stick to our original plan, sneak into the company at midnight again. I’ll steal the exam questions while you cover me." Chen Zilong had already used this trick to steal the exam questions twice.
