Going to work? Even a dog wouldn't go!

Chapter 1, Class, even dogs won't go!
Three poles in the sun.

Warm sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating Zhang Xian's handsome face.

He shifted his position, avoiding the annoying ray of sunlight that had intruded into his room without permission.

Go back to sleep!

"Xiaoxian, Xiaoxian, wake up and eat!"

A childish voice rang out, but the person who entered Zhang Xian's room was a woman who was a little over 160 cm tall and had delicate features.

Her figure, appearance, and voice were completely mismatched.

It feels like an adult has installed a child's "sound card".

Moreover, not only her voice, but also the clothes she wore were printed with gaudy cartoon patterns, the kind of childish cartoon characters that only young children would like.

"Let me sleep a little longer~"

Normally, people who are disturbed from their sleep will inevitably be a little grumpy when they wake up, but Zhang Xian's tone didn't show any impatience at all; on the contrary, it even had a hint of coquetry.

"No, no!"

"The sun is shining on my butt!"

"And Dad said you have a job interview today!"

The woman directly pulled off the blanket covering Zhang Xian, then quickly walked to the window and pulled back the curtains. Her movements were swift and efficient, showing that she was used to doing this.

Helpless, Zhang Xian yawned and sat up in bed.

If it were someone else waking him up, it would never have been so easy, but this woman was different. She was Zhang Xian's third sister, named Zhang Zhaodi. She was 25 years old this year, but her mental age was that of a 9-year-old!
That year, 9-year-old Zhang Zhaodi and 6-year-old Zhang Xian were playing by the river when Zhang Xian accidentally fell into the water. 9-year-old Zhang Zhaodi also fell into the river while trying to save her younger brother.

While in the river, she tried her best to lift her younger brother, Zhang Xian, and push him ashore, but she was too weak to do so, and she herself fainted from drowning.

Fortunately, the two children's struggle in the river caught the attention of a fisherman, who rescued them. Zhang Xian was unharmed because his older sister, Zhang Zhaodi, had been supporting him the whole time.

Zhang Zhaodi nearly lost her life. Although she was rescued after being rushed to the hospital, her brain suffered irreversible neuronal death due to prolonged oxygen deprivation, causing her mental age to remain permanently at the level of a 9-year-old.

Therefore, Zhang Xian was naturally very grateful to this older sister who had saved his life, and he never lost his temper with her, even though she was very childish and often did things that were both funny and ridiculous. Zhang Xian had endless tolerance and patience for her.

After all, if it weren't for saving him, Third Sister Zhang Zhaodi wouldn't have ended up like this.

Zhang Xian casually grabbed a T-shirt and put it on, paired with a pair of breathable black sweatpants, and stretched as he walked out of the cramped bedroom.

The living room and dining room are combined. Breakfast is laid out on the octagonal table, which includes boiled eggs, white rice porridge, large steamed buns, and pickled vegetables.

Zhang Xian casually pulled up a chair and sat down.

Zhang Zhaodi, who was following behind him, sat down on the old-fashioned mahogany sofa and turned on the TV to watch an animated series called "Balala the Fairies".

"Little Fairy Transformation!"

"Defeat the Great Demon King"

Zhang Zhaodi watched the cartoon while gesturing wildly and muttering to herself.

Where did Old Zhang go?

Zhang Xian took a bite of the warm bun and casually asked.

"Chatting with Aunt Shulan."

"At the entrance of the alley."

While answering the questions, Zhang Zhaodi kept her eyes glued to the television.

All he thinks about all day is finding a life partner!
He's so old, yet he looks like a teddy bear!

Sure enough, men only behave when they're hung on the wall!

Zhang Xian munched on a steamed bun while silently complaining to himself.

Had breakfast.

Zhang Xian carried his fishing gear on his back, hopped on his electric scooter parked in the yard, and left home.

"Xiaoxian, let's go out!"

"How's your job search going?"

Zhang Xian lived in a hutong (traditional alleyway), surrounded by neighbors who had watched him grow up, and everyone knew each other's situations very well.

The person greeting Zhang Xian at this moment was Grandpa Liu, who lived next door. He was sitting at the door enjoying the cool air, holding a large palm-leaf fan in his hand.

"I'm going to the interview now."

Zhang Xian gave a casual reply, turned on the throttle of his electric scooter, and sped away.

"An interview, indeed!"

"Who goes to a job interview carrying a fishing rod? They're clearly going fishing!"

"Old Zhang's son, Xiao Liu, is finished." Watching Zhang Xian's rapidly departing figure, Liu Fusheng muttered to himself while fanning himself with a large palm-leaf fan.

Alley entrance.

Zhang Xian, who was riding a small electric scooter, was stopped by his father, Zhang Dongshan, who was chatting with a middle-aged woman.

"Where have you been gallivanting off to again, you little rascal!"

"Shouldn't you be having a job interview today?"

Zhang Dongshan frowned and grabbed his son's arm with one hand.

"Yeah, I'm going for a job interview!"

Zhang Xian shrugged.

"interview?"

"You're dressed like this for your job interview?"

"Besides, isn't that a fishing rod you're carrying?"

Zhang Dongshan rolled his eyes. His brat was wearing a T-shirt, sweatpants, and Crocs.

Wearing this to a job interview? Nobody would believe it!

"I was thinking of going fishing after the job interview to supplement my family's income!"

Zhang Xian shrugged, as if to say, "I'm doing this for the sake of the family too."

"Fishing to supplement the family income?"

"How could you even think of that!"

Zhang Dongshan grumbled and complained, "Look at Xiaofei, he graduated in the same year as you, and he's doing really well in a foreign company."

"Why don't you mention that when he just graduated, Grandpa Pang bought him a car!"

"Your son is going to his job interview on an electric scooter!"

"Sigh, the unevenness of life..."

Zhang Xiancai wasn't buying his father's act. He sighed and then shook off his father's hand that was gripping his arm: "I can't take it anymore, I'm going to be late for the interview!"

"Dad, work hard and try to make me a rich kid."

"When you become successful, you can have Aunt Wang be my stepmother, right?"

The electric scooter drove away, and Zhang Xian's voice drifted over.

"That brat is getting more and more outrageous!"

Zhang Dongshan cursed through gritted teeth.

Wang Shulan, who was chatting with him, said with a face full of furrowed brows, "That Xiaoxian kid is really something, playing matchmaker!"

"Shulan, you could actually consider it too."

"Don't underestimate me just because I'm a has-been singer. I have over 5,000 followers on Douyin (TikTok). I'll become a big internet celebrity sooner or later. If you follow me, you'll be living the high life."

Zhang Dongshan enthusiastically painted a rosy picture for Wang Shulan.

riverside.

After finishing his fishing, Zhang Xian unfolded his folding chair and sat down in the shade of a tree.

The system notification sounded in his mind, and Zhang Xian excitedly snapped his fingers: nice!

As an unemployed youth, he activated the "ultimate lying-down system" yesterday, where he receives rewards as long as he doesn't go to work.

I received a reward of 10,000 yuan yesterday!

He thought the reward was fixed, but today he received a random reward!
